Massage Envy misinformation &

I opened a membership for my husband over the phone almost 2 years ago. I did not receive a contract nor did I physically see or sign one (didn't know there was one). Last May, I pulled up the Massage Envy website to find information on canceling the membership but there was no information so I called the Massage Envy in Cumming for more information. The lady that answered said that there was a 30 day notice, she had canceled it but I would be billed one more time for June and his membership would expire June 28, 2011. I continued to be billed in July & August so I called the location a second time but this time was told that cancellations must be done in person by filling out a cancellation form. Since I pass this location twice a day on my way to & from work, that was not an issue. However when I went up there, I was advised that they would not refund me for the 2 months they incorrectly charged me due to the misinformation I had been given on my call in May. I went to the location that day & signed a cancellation form to stop future drafts noting the cancellation form that I had canceled in May. Basically I feel that I'm out $100 because their employees can't provide accurate information!

Massage Envy racist/ anti-white business

I will never step foot into this or any other Massage Envys local to the Waldorf MD area. I am shocked at the racist, anti-white business they run. You are welcomed by staff that treat you politely till they get your money then they treat you poorly and repeatedly ask for you tip before hand and if you say you will leave it in the room after they pretend not tO hear you and still take money off your credit card every stinkin time. While waiing I could over hear how they treated other blacks like themself, they treated them great never asked for tips before and we tip 30% which I think is pretty good. The manager, a black guy stands and stares pushing the employees to continue this racist behavior. Where is the Equality? And Fairness? Not there!

By the way most credit card companies will fighting it out with them overcharging like mine has, refunding my money to me, which I missed the first few charges from there. Also FCC.gov likes to know how consumers are being treated by businesses.

Massage Envy misleading

I paid monthly for a one year contract. I had up graded each month for a facial. I soon realized that there services were not as I had expected. One month prior to my one year anniversary - I cancelled my membership - following all the rules. I had one pre-paid service left. Now, I called for my pre-paid service and I am told that I had 30 days to use it. I have now lost that service that I paid for. I asked for a supervisor or someone other than a clerk to help me solve this but they suggested I go to the website - which - the website suggest that I go to the individual Massage Envy. So run-around. I did not like the caliber of people working there and I would not suggest joining Massage Envy.

Massage Envy misleading information

In February I went in for an introductory $39.00 massage. After the massage, I was greeted with a high pressure sales pitch on becoming a Massage Envy member. At first I said no and told her that a year was to long of a duration for me and that I wont use massages each and every month. She then told me that a Health Savings Account, in which I have would cover my monthly charges. So I agreed. After leaving, my sister who was with me at the time, told me that she also signed up, but only for 6 months. A few days later, I called Massage Envy and spoke with the Manager regarding my experience/mis-guidance. He assured me that their goal is to not be pushy and be very informative about their memberships. I told him that my Health Savings Account would not cover my massages because it was not Dr.'s ordered. So, he kindly reduced my membership to 3 months that I would have to pay out of pocket. Well, today... I called a different location to make an appointment for my Husband and I, and was told that I have NO prepaid massages. I told them that I had prepaid March-May and that I had only used one and should now have two. They continued to tell me I had no prepaid massages. The girl advised me to call the Covington location where I signed up for membership and find out what was going on with my account. So, I called and spoke with the same gentleman I spoke to back in Feb. This time, he was a jerk. A complete jerk. He told me that my account was canceled in May and that my massages were cleared from my account as of May 31st. When I first signed up for the membership, I was told I would recieve written notice of when my massages would expire. I have NEVER recieved any communication from them via mail, phone or email. Nor was I ever told that my massages would expire as of May 31st. I told him that I was very frustrated and that this whole membership experience was nothing but frustrating and misleading and he simply said "Well I'm sorry, have a nice night".

Massage Envy bad therapist experience

I went to Massage Envy in Gig Harbor, Washington. What a terrible experience. I was given incorrect directions which made me 7 minutes late for a booked, hour and a half appointment. I was informed that I would only be getting an hour and 15 minutes because I was late, but I would be paying for the full hour and one half. I complained that I was late because I was given the wrong directions and was told that’s too bad. I wound up getting a one hour massage that was poorly performed. She didn’t adjust the head rest, she forgot to do my left hand, and neck and knew nothing about how to massage feet. I will NEVER go there or any Massage Envy ever!

Massage Envy membership scam & pitiful customer service

And yet another complaint against Massage Envy...they just don't get it, they don't respond, they don't try to improve, they don't care! Where do I start...I sign up for a membership and completed my 1 year contract. I attempted to cancel, but was talked into putting on vacation status, it started up again in six months. After another year I I lost my job again and put it on vacation again. However, at the end of that 6 months, my father passed away, I had knee replacement surgery and was still not working. It just so happened that my credit card on file expired and ME couldn't start charging me again. They called a few times, however with my fathers death and rehabbing from surgery...massages were not a high priority. Two months later they called to tell me that I needed to make all payments or they would send it to collections. I talked to them 2 or 3 times and tried to work out an agreement...they wouldn't budge. Two weeks later they sent it to collections. I have filed a complaint with the BBB of KS, and ME didn't respond for several months, when they did, the merely said I owed the money.
I contacted them to see if I paid the 3 months of payments, could I let someone else use the massages as I couldn't because of my surgery. They said I owed the 3 months and the collection charges and I would have to open my account again, and could transfer 1 massage every 6 months and it would cost $10! Why are they allowed to continue with theses business practices? They are a rip off, they DO NOT focus on their customer, they only want your money! STAY AWAY FROM THE MASSAGE ENVY IN LENEXA, KS!

Massage Envy deceptive business practices

The owner of the coral gables branch, Mrs. Gonzalez, has advised the employees to tell customers conflicting contract policies. The staff has misrepresented the terms of the contract as a bait and switch tactic. Myself and my colleague have been told we can freeze and unfreeze our account as we like, however, after I froze my account and tried to unfreeze it, I was told that I could not unfreeze my account without paying an additional month and I'd have to wait another 30 days before I can freeze my account. I have six unused massages after my 1 year contract has ended and I am unable to cancel my membership without using the six massages or else I lose out on the six massages, which is actually a $300 loss. What is upsetting is that the staff at this branch is telling customers that they can do one thing and then you can't. They lie to your face and then retract on their word as a ploy to steal money from you. I advise anyone to stay away from this location.

Massage Envy stay away

The owner of the Massage Walmart (envy) locations in Oklahoma City, OK has been acussed of sexual harassment by a female massage therapist. Also, several other female Licensed Massage Therapists have disclosed that the boss had made passes at them, crossed their boundaries and was inappropriate on several occasions. Thus this boss/owner is a slimy and scuzzy person to work for.

Please go to Elements Therapeutic Massage or another massage therapy establishment in Oklahoma particularly and especially in OKC. I use to work at massage walmart and am happy that I no longer work there and happy I no longer work for him.

Massage Envy beware of contract

MassageEnvy - a massage spa that provides a discount rate for monthly massages with a one-year minimum membership. If you decide to cancel, please be aware that you must give 30 days notice in writing and your membership continues during that time. So basically you need to visit the MassageEnvy spa exactly 30 days before the end of your membership or otherwise you get charged another monthly credit. In addition, if you have unused massage credits they will expire at the end of the membership and are not-refundable. Therefore you must use them within that 30 day cancellation window or they are lost.

Massage Envy poor service

Misleading information. I signed up for the introductory massage to take my husband for Fathers Day. WAe signed up for a one hour massage and was told to arrive at 5:45 to fill out paper work and our massage started at 6pm. We arrived at 5:55 due to the google map gave us wrong directions. The staff greeted us nicely and quickly gave us a 30 second tour put us in the quiet room to fill out our paper work. At approx 6:15 our therpist came to greet us and took us to the couples room. I specifically asked for a female therapist and received a male therapist. When the massage finally started the therapist asked us if we wanted to upgrade. I was like upgrade what? Noone had even went over what upgrades where. I went ahead and upgraded to an aromatherapy deep tissue massage. Approx 6:20 was when our massage started and at 6:55 we were informed that our massage was complete and to get dressed. So, ok we payed for a one hour massage and received a 35 minute massage. I payed for the services and of couse they wanted me to sign a contract, which I did not do. As we were getting into our car the front staff girl ran to our car to tell us that she forgot to charge us the additional 20 dollars for the upgrade and proceeded to collect the 20 dollars in the parking lot. Over all I was extremely disappointed in this experience and will by no means EVER recommend this facility to anyone nor will I ever return for ANY services! Please be aware that you don't get what you pay for at this facility.

I am a member and received rude service from an employee at the Lake Grove NY location. I was given the email of the franchisee who also is the franchisee of the Commack NY location. I was told this was the definate way to get a response. I never received any response. Massage Envy locks you in a contract for a year with poor service and over priced massages and forgets you. My advice for anyone looking for a masage is to go somewhere else, better Massage places exist. Im sorry I signed on for the year but when the year is up I will take my buisness somewhere else. BEWARE.

As someone in the idustry i think common sense should tell you that. I understand its a service based industry, but the world doesnt revolve around you and when you show up late it does effect everyone else behind you its on you. Also techinical a hour "appointment" is actually 50 mins of massage time. unless it clearly states 1hr massage you need to ask more questions about your own service and understand that making everyone else wait because you didnt get their on time is just stupid.

I agree you were short changed on your massage for reasons out of your control (wrong directions via google)
However, you were late and if they had that person booked after you (which they usually have there therapist doing) then the next person would have been late - and person after that and so on if everyone was to get their full time - I do not personally know about Massage Envy as I have never been there - but if you are late - it is expected (or should be) that your appointment would be shortened as a result as to do less would effect anyone after you. I do not feel you were put out - but I do think they should have told you upfront that your appointment would be shorten as a result - for that Massage Envy failed you.

Massage Envy - rip off

Given a gift card, went to use first visit for facial. Service was just Ok, steamer was broken, wish they had told me before hand as I would have rescheduled. Went back for what I thought was the other half of the gift card, only to come out owing 93.00. I was like, wth and was informed I am not a member, first visit was discounted to "get me in the door"...

Massage Envy failed to meet service commitment

I bought a 6 spa treatment package with a 6 month period in Nov 2010 as a xmas gift. Since the treatments would not be used till after xmas, ie Jan 2011, I asked for confirmation that the 6 month period start in Jan 2011 and notwhen I was buying the package. The sales staff at the counter confirmed this was the case. However come May 2011, Massage Envy, refused to honor this Jan 2011 committment. We are cheated out of 2 spa treatments. I find that Massage envy are more interested in service upgrades and service contract extensions than in customer service.

Massage Envy cares only about $

Recently I had to cancel an appointment with Massage Envy - due to an unexpected personal matter, which unfortunately arose 2 hours before my appointment.

I explained to the Salon manager the reason why I had to cancel, only then to be informed that there is a 50% cancellation fee. I asked if rescheduling my appointment would avoid being charged this fee - but was told it is "policy".

May I say that I was never made aware of this "policy" and I will no longer support Massage Envy.

I have been a member of other massage salons and have NEVER experienced any type of "policy", and will renew my membership with Joseph Christopher Salon TODAY.

It states in the agreement that you signed, 3rd paragraph that you initial, a same day cancel is a 50% charge a no show is a 100% charge. Unfortunately, yes that is their policy as it is put in the agreement, that they make every member acknowledge with their initials. It is understandable why you would be upset because your paying for a service you did not receive, however, the cancellation policy is put in place because Massage envy is holding a time for you. Which means anyone else that calls to book an appointment cannot get that time because it is unavailable. Then when you call same day to cancel (emergency or not) that Therapist is still there and in turn gets screwed by not getting paid for that hour. If it was in face an emergency situation you should have some documentation, bring that into the clinic and the manager -i would think- would work with you.

Massage Envy contracts

STAY FAR AWAY!
After one massage, the staff coerced my daughter into entering a 'contract' in which she pays $50 a month for one year... getting one massage per month. After being told otherwise upon signing, she attempted to ask staff to disengage from membership due to loss of a job. They refuse to do so and continue to deduct $50 per month from her checking account without her support, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOW JOBLESS AND IS NOT USING THE SERVICE.

There are too many legitimate establishments out there who would understand such a circumstance. Simply use someone with a bit more compassion and understanding of peoples well-being.

Massage Envy unethical behavior

I was a member since the around/approx Dec 2010, and I decided to end my membership based on a few things. 1 - the staff over time made a turn for the worst, 2- the therapists were alittle too friendly - if you know what I mean, and 3 - I am a very direct person, and if someone steps out of line - I will say something. And when I did, they blamed me for all of their problems. SO needless to say here I am saying what is on my mind, hoping someone will listen. Not all Message Envy's are like this, but a few, and to me a few is enough well with these reason's not to do business with these people anymore. The management at the Wheaton, Danada location is a joke. If you speak up and say something about not being happy with a service they pretty much say it's your problem and they won't do anything about it. Instead they will make up lies saying what a terrible person you are. WTF? It doesn't matter how much money you drop in a month, they are not very loyal to their customers. They don't care about you, and when I had joined they "Susan" aka the manager, she's been their for about 5 years, since they opened, I know becuase when they first opened she was a complete jerk, which is why I stopped going in the 1st place. Anywho, I thought by now they might have changed but obviously not. Have you ever heard that saying screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me...well I guess I should have known better then to go back there a second time. And now I do. So any who, that's the back story, but yeah when I joined they, aka the manager said that they would give a print out at the end of the year and do it in such a way it made sense to the Health department, meaning if you have one of those spending accounts, well from what I know this is ligit, but now I am not so sure. When I ended my relationship with them, and it was less than nice...I was direct, and they didn't like that. So again, they tried to turn it on me, like I'm a bad person, way to pass the blame! Some people ya know, something is wrong with them. People are too frickin senstive and they need to grow some backbone. These people would never survive in the real world. lol Anywho, I am done venting. I feel better now.

Massage Envy theft/poor customer service

Have had a wonderful experience until now! A few weeks ago I left my (awesome) therapist a much larger tip than usual only to find out that she never received it. I spoke to the owner and he said it wasn't his responsibility to make up for it - "it's not my policy" he claimed. I then asked why there was no disclaimer in my contract stating that massage envy was not responsible for making sure therapists received all tips that are handled by the front desk. His response -" well I'm not going to give her the 75$". So I said well then I'm canceling my contract and my mother will be here tomorrow to cancel hers and I'm going to start letting people know about "your policy". At this point the owner, Larry Ferguson literally through a childlike tantrum, yelling at me and stormed out of the room. I've never heard of any business owner conducting things this way!

Massage Envy theft/ poor service

I had my first session yesterday. I came from work so I had my jewellery on. I decided to leave my diamond drop earrings in my ears because that was the safest place to be. (no safes or secure place to leave you belongings) During my uncomfortable massage, (after MANY times expressing that it was hurting me the therapist explained he was sorry but it was necessary to push his elbow in my spine to release the muscles) After some time he asked me to turn over. He began to raise my neck and turn it from side to side. At one point he was pulling on my ears to release the muscles in my neck (yes-I was an idiot and allowed this to go on)
In any event, my 45 min massage ended and I was told to dress. I dressed and left the salon appalled at how I was feeling. (Like I was in a fight and got stabbed in the back) While driving home I then realized one earring was missing. I called them to let them know I WAS SURE it was in the building, and as you may already guessed...it was not found.
That earring that I am sure my "therapist" pocketed was the pair I wore on my wedding day. There is no amount of money that could replace it. I wanted to make others aware of what happened to me so that if you too unfortunately are bound to 12 months of poor service, at least you will leave your valuables home before arriving.

Massage Envy illegal use of credit card

A class action suit needs to be filed against Massage Envy!
I realize I am not alone in the Massage Envy nightmare. They promote relaxation, but this company will give you a headache, stressed you out and increase your blood pressure. I have a copy of the contract I purchased for my daughter and it clearly states "paid in full" effective date and a term date. I made sure I did not get involved with the month to month membership... or did I? This location continued to charge my credit card after the term date, which I was unaware of until 6 months later. When I noticed this, I quickly called the location and after several back and forth phone calls, the owner indicates "due to computer system limitations the best recourse is to have your daughter use the additional massages that have accumulated and we will give her 90 days". OK, fine, I agreed to this only to have peace and make this go away. Well... here we go again... The option to "freeze for 90 days" will then reactivate the "membership", which I NEVER signed for and have a copy of the contract, and began billing again. I had no idea this was happening until my 2011 credit card audit was conducted. The Clearwater Massage Envy location refuses to take ownership for THEIR error, so now I'm left with having to write a complaint where ever possible.
Next stop...BBB
THIS COMPANY IS UNETHICAL AND ILLEGALLY PROCESSES CONSUMERS CREDIT CARDS

I cancelled my membership after 18months. Legally. The following month they drafted me anyway. Mind you, this was 6 weeks after cancellation. I called and spoke to a girl named Cassie at the tech ridge location and she assured me it would be taken care of.
That was on a Tuesday, it is now Saturday. They aren't returning my calls and haven't refunded me as of yet.

I have also billing issue with them. They charged a card that I specifically requested to remove from account. After three days back and forth, reversing one card and charging another card was very difficult task.They posted charges twice old card and new card I gave them. Then Cindy the manager, said she can not reverse the tip, but she did charge the tip again on the new card. The manager said she will check and give me a call in two hours. The manager will not return calls. The receptionist will take messages and tell me " She will call you right back. Absolutely" . Front desk staff keeps saying " I have no authority, I can pass the message, absolutely." After loosing two days of my time I got the manager on the phone and told her that if she do not resolve the issue immediately I will post bad comments online. Her respond was " well first of all you do not threaten me, second of all I spoke to the staff and they said that you authorized the transaction " . Very unprofessional conduct of the conversation and lied about speaking to the staff. I told her I am her customer for the last 2 years with my son and I am very unhappy with wasting 3 days trying to resolve simple issue especially when is their error. I told her I am calling my bank since she can not help. She kept saying " do you threaten me" .I told her that I will take this issue to my bank, she said " in that case I am canceling your membership and you are no longer allowed on this facility." I had 7 prepaid accumulated massages. Since they are canceling my membership I could not understand where my $350 are going for those 7 massages. She simply hang up the phone on me. Her name is CINDY and this is 2516 N McMullen Booth Rd, Clearwater, FL 33671.

Dear Missy Tag,

We regret there's been a miscommunication between us. It's important to us that all of our clients are heard and heard clearly. Every once and a while, a member feels as if they didn't understand the membership terms and it's important to us that those terms are very clear. We're proud of our track record of having several hundred-thousand VERY satisfied members and will do everything in our power to maintain that through clear communication and amazingly valuable service.

We've refunded the unused amount of your daughter's membership and look forward to continuing relaxing and soothing massages for you and your husband, as we've done for the past couple of years. We value your business and membership and look forward to seeing you in soon!

Sincerely,

Massage Envy Clearwater

This is not unusual for them. I know a ME owner who owns 4 locations in Atlanta that also stated and owns a collection service to collect on past due payments that the customer was not aware of. It's a form of bait and switch if you ask me. The ME is in Buckhead...Atlanta, GA

Massage Envy did not record appointment correctly

While paying for her current appointment at Massage Envy, my daughter reserved the double table room for 2/26 at the McMurray, PA location. When we arrived for our massages, we were advised by Cecelia (the same gal who logged in the 2/26 appointment) that the room was already in use and we could do two individual appointments about an hour apart but otherwise there was nothing they could do for us.

Cecelia had any number of reasons why our appointment was not in the system - computer problems, didn't have the name of the second person to be in the room (what does that matter?), etc. We were so looking forward to each of our massages only to be turned away.

Lastly, and unrelated to our dilemma, there were two dogs in the lobby of the facility. As best I could determine they belonged to one of the employees.

Needless to say, we were quite disappointed in our Massage Envy experience.
