I have been to many massage therapists. At Graceful Services I was treated to the best massages ever! My massages were just the way I like them, very effective and as strong as I requested. I am a small...

Don't get me wrong - I actually didn't expect much considering it was "cheap"... but... I don't know... maybe it was the masseuse - I did go late... regardless... I know that the prices are lower than other...

Not for small people

It'll be a good massage if you are strong enough to withstand the incredible pressure. I am a fairly small person and thought the pressure was too much. While I asked the practitioner to lighten up a bit (and...

This massage parlor is WONDERFUL! My expectations were greatly exceeded! At first I wasn't sure as I thought it would be a fancy place that wouldn't give me the deep tissue massage I needed. However, the...

The best massage I ever had

Graceful Services was not fancy, but what they lacked in atmosphere was more than made up for by an amazingly skilled full body massage. Jenny, the massage therapist was really thorough and removed every...

Not for you weaklings...

If you can handle a "back breaking" massage, GS is great! The practitioner will man-handle you no doubt, but the results are fabulous. Expect lasting results after repeat visits... and at about $60/hour, it's...

If you are looking for a fancy spa, this is not where you should go. But if you are looking to get a good massage, and feel reenergized afterwards, this is the place to go. The staff is courteous and...

ooooohsome

I liked the fact that they used oil (or was it lotion?) instead of powder to start off with. The massage was as strong as I wanted it to be - I think Randolph would have used more force if I needed it. He took...

Mind Altering Massage

The massage you get depends on the person doing the job. Jenny gave me a very good massage, a little painful at a couple of points, but almost entirely relaxing. I think the technique calls for a variety of...
