Massage Envy
reviews and complaints

I have been a member for several years. My sister and I went for a Microderm Abrasion treatment in Franklin, Mass. We had been scheduled for 10 and 11. We were both out by 10:45. The microderm came with no facial at all. Just the microderm. I asked the manager why he bothered to schedule us for 2 appointments and why we did not get the facial. He had no response. Each microderm is two visits or $100 per person. Did not get our moneys worth. Would like a return of a couple credits. Not liking Franklin Mass at all. Much better in the Villages Florida.
Massage Envy should make sure each franchise does the same work at each salon. Knowing what you should be receiving with every treatment should be standard practice.

I went into the Salon looking for a soothing massage to what seems to be back pain, I was introduced to membership # [protected]) after I asked twice if I would be locked into a contract, I was told that I could cancel anytime if I was not pleased.
Well, I was pleased with the first initial session, but the back pain was excruciating forcing me to get additional medical attention, I was diagnosed with an inflamed disk and recommended different treatment to alleviate it,
So I called the office to cancel the membership since their services were not something that I could benefit for the time being.
got no response except for the fact that they call to request payment and are unwilling to work to resolve the cancellation, even after I submitted some paperwork from what Doctor recommended based on his observation.
How long does the cancellation process take? especially since my medical record is not something that the Doctor is willing to share unless your HIPAA compliant.

Your services are not something I could use nor benefit at the moment, given my condition, but your lack of response and unwillingness to work to resolve this makes your practice to appear quizzical.

I was forced to cancel my membership after 1 year due to a period of unemployment and was told I had several accrued points that could be used over a 6 month period following the end of my membership. this was a bait and switch lie. I was given 60 days had I been told this I would have canceled and sued to get out of the contract in Nov 2018 instead of continuing to pay even though it was a financial hardship through Feb 2019. I also was not able to use my points as wanted because they don't have enough staff trained to do multiple services. Don't ever sign a membership with these people they fake and will lie to your face to get as much money as possible but can't keep quality massage therapists staffed. I am done with the fake massage places, only formal medical providers and doctors from now on.

They sold me a 6 month membership, and continued to bill my account and draft the fees endlessly. They have a lot of fine print and are misleading when they say 6 month membership it's actually a life long membership unless you cancel in writing 30 days in advance. I hate this place they took my money 7 months worth of treatments and said "sorry I should of read the contract" that they sold me and mislead me on. Who has 7 months worth of treatments and money that they can just give away! I'm sorry but this is just illegal! And should be leagally pursued. They pray on victims like me I'm sure they have thousands of similar cases of innocently ripping good honest people off.

My husband and i opened an account at Massage Envy in Jersey City years ago. My husband recently found out that he lost his 31.5 massages which he had accumulated. He was told that hte company recently migrated to a new technology system and this was a situation occurring to many. Upon further investigation i found out that my husband's account was closed in JC due to 'lack of payment'. We share a joint account so our credit cards are the same. Every time I needed to update my credit card, i would tell them my husband's needs updating too. Clearly the incompetency is great at JC as my husband's account was closed due to lack of payment with 31.5 massages! How is it that mine is still open when we have the same account and his is closed..especially when i would ask them to update his card as well! Furthermore i was told that he opened up a new account in another location... why would a man who has 31.5 massages open up an account elsehwere?! I've called the corporate office of Massage Envy of Branchburg and Berkely Heights and repeatedly and have left about 7 messages with no acknowledgement of call or a return of call. This is the absolute worst customer service i've ever experienced. We are out over 2000 dollars bc of incompetency of workers and complete disorganization. I am beyond frustrated as NO ONE is helping us with this situation. As soon as i'm done with these accumulated massages..i'm closing this account and will warn everyone about Massage Envy. UP until this point, i had no issues... but now i'm a very disgruntled customer.

I have tried to cancel my account with massage envy in Nampa Idaho several times. They keep giving me an email to send in why I am cancelling. They never answer back and continue to withdraw money from my bank.
This is the WORST customer service I have ever dealt with. I myself have been in management (retail) over 35 years. I would NEVER treat my customers this way!
I have been a customer for several years but have moved and cannot get an appoinment when I am in town. Also my favorite therapist is no longer with your company.
I just want my acct closed

Sincerely

South Carolina location. After filling out the paperwork, I was then put in a waiting room. Over 20 minutes past by, and no one came for me. I then walked out to the reception desk and I was told by the manager, sorry your Massage Therapist went home sick. Why did he wait 20 minutes to tell me that! He offered me an appointment at 9pm that same evening. I then said you expect me to come 3hours later on a Stormy Night!
I found this location to be totally Unprofessional and my relaxing experienced was ruined! I will never recommend Massage Envy Spa to anyone.

I just had the worst customer service and attitude I have ever received in my life from the girl, who refused to provide me with her name, in the Mooresville,   NC store. I am flabbergasted at her lack of customer service/people skills. They wrongfully took $65 out of my account, which I had completed my 1 year membership last month, May.  I called to ask about it and explained how I need this refunded to me TODAY. This girl copped a huge attitude with. She refused to give me her name and said that she refuses to help me. So I went to the store. Major attitude from the get go with her eye roll once I said that I just called 10 minutes prior! Because of how she reacted to my concern this developed into a huge incident which involved the cops! Had she only shown compassion and willingness to help, and more importantly, not given major attitude and yell at me, none of this would occur. Unbelievable! Customer service? Customer care? Non-existent. Hello! I gave them business for nearly 2 years! Even the cops thought them to be Ridiculous! So I'm banned from the store! Really? As if I would indulge in providing them business again anyway. Well my $65 return was not resolved. I called to ask about it. That girl told me I can't even call the store and hung up on me!
P.S.
I need my $65 returned NOW!

To Whom it may concern,
It seems like the Strongsville, Ohio branch owner has denied my request for a full refund and cancellation of my membership. Last year during one of my sessions at the Strongsville, Ohio branch was given a deep stretch during my massage session that caused my lower back to experience severe pain & spasms and was not able to work, walk, sleep or drive & where I had to take off a full week. Have doctors bills from this incident as well as incurred sick time to recoup orate. After this incident on October 1, 2018 had froze my account as was not able to go due to the fear that the massage would aggravate the issue. Unknown to me the account was reactivated December 1, 2018 and membership fees kept being charged to my account. I reached out to the manager she forwarded this to the franchise owner and on May 27, 2019 I tried to resolve this cancellation/refund within his office but he is refusing and told me to go to corporate. How am I supposed to accept that? I am not looking to sue anyone in regards to the injury and all I want is to have my membership fees refunded and to cancel my membership due to the fear of re-injuring my lower back. I am unable to take advantage of the membership and do not have anyone to gift the massages to as Brian Quinn the owner suggested. It seems like the owner of this franchise is willing to risk loosing a happy customer and gain an angry & disgruntled customer due to this issue. How can we accept that behavior? I attempted to resolve this amicably and have been given the run around & rejection. It seems like the only way to get this resolved is to go to the media or onto social media and scream loud and long about the injustice that Massage Envy is causing the little guy. This is a customer service issue that is easily resolvable If possible for you to help in this matter I would be great full. If you should want to call and speak to me my cell phone number is [protected]

I recently went to the York Road, in Timonium location. My experience with the person who did the massage was great. But the customer service from the front desk was horrible. I only went because a friend transferred her credit to me. The next day my card was charge full price and when i called to have it sorted out, they were extremely rude and hung up on me. I than called white marsh and she was helpful and offered to help sort it out for me. I will never go back because of this experience and Im still waiting for a refund considering that i was charged full price. This was my first experience having a massage, and it will be my last. Customer service has put a terrible taste in my mouth.

My name is Andrew Ogburn I have been employed with massage envy since May of 2017 as a lead therapist of 3 locations. McHenry Illinois, Lake Zurich Illinois and Holly Springs North Carolina. Aside from the conditions of the North Carolina clinic as well as the unprofessionalism from FDAs, verbal harrassment from the owner and proper handling of client issues, there is a glaring issue with the ownership. This involves doctored statements by ownership as well as clear violations of corporate rules and regulations. There is much to discuss with the correct level of corporate involvement. I plan on hiring a lawyer because I believe a law has been broken. I gave a two week notice today and was met with an email requesting a resignation effective immediately. My contact information is [protected]. My email is [protected]@yahoo.com. I also have the original written statement from myself and the doctored version of said statement from the owner via email. I can be reached at any time. Thank you.

Hello~

Its a very long story but due to the loss of my 25 yr old daughter, my head has not been on straight. I have moved from Atlanta area where I was using the Buford GA location. I have moved to Murphreesboro and wanted to schedule on of the 7 massages I have paid for and not used. I have been told there is nothing that can be done about this. Well, at $50/mo for the contract, I am not ok with that. My two months has ended as of today because it was cancelled without my permission. I am just asking that the expiration date be extended two months so I can use these services I have paid for. Everytime I call Im being told that I will get a call back and Im the one always having to follow up. Very frustrating. Please help! Cindy Maison

Ruined my mother's Day gift from my daughter. I had an appointment for 10:00 am for a 90 mins hot stone treatment on Saturday 05/11/2019.
At 9:00am, I received a call stating my appointment was cancel because the therapist was sick. Now I understand a person getting sick, but why was I not compensate for my inconvenience. I asked if I could get another massage for that day, the answer was no, I even called around to other massage envy to see if they had openings, ( something I felt should have been done by them) no luck. But if I cancel within a hour of my treatment they were going to charge me the full price of my session. I have always enjoyed going to massage envy, but after this experience with them, I will not be back. POOR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICES!

My daughter and I went to the miramar location and had our massage on Sunday April 28th 2019, when checking out the lady said you dont have anything left on this card, I know for a fact I did because the last time at check out I asked her the balance and she stated $55.00 and thats what I wrote on the envelope and then looking into the system (old) there was a charge of $39.00 on that gift card, #[protected] on 2/6/18. card #HR01843780 how strange is it that its the same card I said had a $55.00 balance on.
What is going on? Managers dont help me either. We left a message for Doral to call me and here it is friday and nothing. How unprofessional is this?
Thank you,
Linda Fuerte
