i see i try i review
Just went for a 60 minutes massage session at Ibeauty (Ang Mo Kio branch) after I bought the $20 deal from www.bestbargain.com.sg
I won't be going back.
I don't like how the masseuse kept asking me to upgrade the massage from the 'relaxing' one to a better one. She said that an additional $20 will get me a 'better', more targeted treatment massage and cupping or gua sha. After I declined, she lowered to $18 which I declined again. Initially, I wanted to ask for more attention on the neck and shoulder. After hearing her promotion of the more 'targeted' treatment, I didnt as I wanted to avoid further hard-sell.
After the massage, she offered peach tea which was nice and she promoted her packages to me. She then said that the massage that she did was only 抚摸式, which literally means gentle strokes. There were times I felt that she was just touching me. Perhaps I would have gotten better treatment if I upgraded the massage. Personally, I don't think it is a nice marketing technique and I didnt want to support it.
During the talk, she also admitted that she was actually better at giving facial and that she would recommend me their better masseuse if I sign their packages. To my mind, I wondered why she would confess such a thing. And why did the company get a facial lady to give a massage to a first time customer. Shouldn't they assign a more experienced masseuse to convince the first time customers that their bodies would be in good hands if they buy the packages?
When asked about the prices of their hot stone massages, the masseuse initially said that if I sign the package it would be $48 per session. However, subsequently, after hearing that I used to pay $80-90 per session, she said the hot stone massages are $88 per session if I sign the package. After I showed hesitation, she introduced a CNY promo where the sessions are $88 for 1.5 hours.
If you are interested in going, the parlor is located near Ang Mo Kio MRT, above KOI. The staircase is behind KOI. It's hard to miss the signboard once you go behind KOI. It is simply decorated with mandarin music playing at the background. I'm not too sure if the masseuse speaks English but she is definitely more comfortable speaking Mandarin.
I won't be going back.
