Really bad massage. It was more like a light back rub for 1hr. The therapist was really friendly. Her name was dalma or something. I paid $50 & was really disappointed. Felt it was a waste of money

This place isn't called "Wellness Massage Centre" as stated, a lie, its called "Rainbow Massage", and it isn't good service! I got ripped off here, and its a full service massage parlour. I first went in and was introduced by a middle-aged asian lady im guessing is the boss, very persistent hustler. Then she brings me into a room and asks me if I wanted a "massage", I said "yes" in my intention of a regular body massage. She then charges me $50
indicating it was for the room, and tells me to wait and leaves me be. Less then 5 mins later a above average weight asian girl comes in, consider her chubby, and takes off her clothes as well as commanding me to take off my clothes. I do so and lay on my back as I thought this was just going to be a mutual body massage. One minute in the massage the girl starts to massage closer to my sensitive part to seduce me, and I then clearly told her I was only there for a regular massage and in no intention of full service. Abruptly she leaves the room leaving me hanging, then in less than a minute, the middle-aged asian lady barges in while im naked and confused and tells me to leave because they are not willing to provide me service anymore. So embarrassing I quickly dressed myself as she waits outside the door. I came out and asked why im being kicked out and demanded my money back, but she refuses and rudely tells me I have to leave! At this point I was so frustrated and angry but I just left without causing any trouble! FOR ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE! DO NOT GO IN THIS MASSAGE PARLOUR because I do not recommend their service! In fact I want them to get shutdown for running an illegal massage parlour and for disrespecting and ripping off their customers! I hope anyone who reads this takes cautious of my message and review!

they do not know how to run the business old the hindu got fired

My experience with this business was quite negative. If I could give negative stars, I would do so.

My practitioner was Jasmine. To be fair, she was not horrible. But she is an accupressure student and not a masseuse. The "menu" that is set into the frosted glass window when you enter the Wellness Massage Therapy Center displays Swedish, hot stone, deep tissue, aromatherapy and other massage procedures as their offerings, however Jasmine was not familiar with most of these. She did, however have a handle on (rather painful) accupressure points, some reflexology, and had some of the theory behind the pressure points in her repertoire.

What I was not pleased with was the professionalism of the business itself. My practitioner was not familiar with where simple supplies were, such as towels and oil. She had to leave the room to locate these and it did go into the time I paid for, 90 minutes. She was also unfamiliar with the practice of giving a massage, demonstrated by putting oil directly on my skin (not warmed by her hands), starting by massaging my feet (when it was a full body massage), and seemed to have problems with transitions (she had me flip over three times).

It seems that this business exploits foreign workers for the sake of offering a $38 / hour massage. I was the first (and the owner would have me believe her last) customer had served at this establishment. When I brought up the inefficiencies of my massage, the owner Leila was barely apologetic, but did not state any compensation or method of preventing this from occurring again (training and change of hiring practices being the problem).

On the plus side, my husband was treated by Gloria, who was friendly. I let hubby handle the bill.

Gloria no longer works there heard the owner was not paying her tips and ripping her off. She was the best massage there
I saw Helena and she said she is going to open her own massage center after she has good list of clients

she was good but complained a lot about the other staff and the owner, so I wonder why a person who gets a job there would insult other workers and the owners,
place is kind of shoddy every time I am in vancouver I usually go straight after airport the place is not the same

1.0 star rating 4/29/2015

not as advertised price is $42 not $38 go somewhere else its a waste of time
the best staff are no longer working there so it is a waste of money the other staff do not know how to give a good massage
you get what you pay for a cheap massage

Went there for massage couple ago, short hindoo lady was rude and kept phoning me because I was late. I told her I could not find parking and was sorry. she said there is lots of parking on the street and only two spots in the back, and the reception told me one spot is taken by the owner who I presume is the hindoo, and the other by sometimes the workers.
massage was okay and I was in pain after by some german girl Helen, she was talking about planning to open her own massage place because there were lots of problems in the place and took my number to let me know later, such [censor] rooms bed was not even made and they do not change the sheets it smelled
The place not very professional and you can hear through the doors people talking and complaining about their service. the hindoo was very rude to some of the customers, I will never go back there and I don't recommend it as it is like a massage parlour

Gloria not working there anymore, the reception tried to get me on with some other massage parlor lady, what a joke she did not even know how to massage
I been coming there for years she was the best and they got rid of her, what a stupid owner the woman should have paid her the salary she owes her. Some staff say she ripped her off on tips and taking advantage of the girls, you can see from her face she is very [censor] looking and harsh to look at not pleasant to see her face when you walk into the massage parlor
there is another place down the road called big feet, it is much cheaper on boundary and kinsway
wellness massage centre burnaby is for sure not the same as it used to be because they have lousy way of running the place
the girls all talking about other staff and how there are so many problems with the massage ladies and keep getting new staff.
German lady said she going to quit too soon as she gets a good client list and will open her own massage parlor. yup go for it

Glad Gloria is not there anymore. Her massage was good but she would always talk about her problems just to get more tips, she would use her fake stories of how her children lived back home in Africa. Man I went there to relax not hear someone's sob stories. I stopped booking with her long time ago. The owner put up with her bad attitude long enough. There are a lot of good practitioners that are knowledgeable.

The place was great until this [censor] current owner Layla Jilani hooked up with her partners BEST FRIEND and whom she obviously had feelings for reeks of desperation that no one else worthwhile was really into her at the time or else why would you even consider it? Her willingness to even entertain the thought of hooking up with her BEST FRIENDS friend someone despite knowing it would crush your partner for the sole reason that the friends best friend was hooking up together is really gross. As any woman including myself you should know that's like the rules of feminism.

Find a guy who wants to [censor] you that didn't used to [censor] your best friend.

This is why she screwed up and desperate woman probaly still [censor] the best friend so disgusting its like being in bed with both of them

STOP [censor] YOUR BEST FRIENDS EX WOMAN ITS NOT COOL

The hindoo woman is a thief she was taking all the tips when my girlfriend was working there and always rude to the people who were late and got mad at her all the time for being late. My gfused to take the skytrain all the way from surrey to go to work and sometimes the skytrain broke down not her fault but I had to tell my gf to quit because the hindo was just exploiting her heard she is quite a monster from india with no manner
