Who doesn’t like massage? I am sure most share the same sentiment like me. I was treated to a massage by a friend at Theresa Beauty. We went to their Toa Payoh outlet. Theresa Beauty offers massage and also reflexology services by their sister brand, Precious Foot Reflexology.
Space at Theresa Beauty, Toa Payoh branch is small. Nonetheless was cosy and comfortable with the right amount of lighting to feel relax.
Though I like massage, I could hardly find a masseur who could execute enough strength and equally important at the right spot to relieve me of my muscle stiff, in particular at my neck and shoulder area. Hence, I am always reluctant to out the services. However, since this round is free, I am going to give it a try.
My friend opted for a 30-minutes head and shoulder and a 30-minutes foot reflexology with Precioius Foot Reflexology while I opted for a 60-minutes Full Body Massage with Oil.
At Precious Foot Reflexology, they offer iPad and free Wifi service for customer to enjoy while enjoying a tranquil massage.
Since my friend is a regular at this foot reflexology, according to her. Most of the masseur did a pretty good job and of course there is one in particular she didn’t enjoy the service. The main reason was this guy didn’t execute enough pressure to relieve the stiffness. If you want to know who, he is the guy in the picture.
For my 60-minutes Full Body Massage with Oil, the rooms are located at the second floor. Rooms are tiny as such one side of the bed is right beside a wall. Hence, the masseur kept shifting the bed when she got to move to the other side. Personally, I find it quite disturbing.
As for the skill, personally, I find her knowledgable and she did use her body weight to execute the pressure with enough strength. But the massage incorporated oil, it was slippery and many times, she missed exerting at the right point.
At the end of the massage, a cup of diluted ginger tea was served. Almost like drinking plain water.
NAHMJ Verdict
Massages at Theresa Beauty is considerably flavourable especially with the foot reflexology services. As for the full body massage, perhaps doing the one with non-oil will be a better option.
