A bit rough but not bad for the price.

I guess we will take the positives from your review, but in our defence if you wanted a spa environment in Cheshire and not a downright quality massage without the frills, then we wonder why you chose a venue in the Norther Quarter. We do what the name suggests and is reinforced by our excellent reviews and rewards over the past 8 years.

Bruised and sore back

Booked a Swedish massage and asked for medium pressure. Had this service countless times are other venues, but booked this company as they had a deal on. The masseuse was so rough, the massage was painful and my back was bruised and sore for days afterwards. During the massage she blamed knots and said I had an issue with my shoulder which I didn’t have- the only issue was how hard she was doing the massage. Felt like I’d been beaten up, not had a relaxing massage. Wouldn’t recommend or return and will go to my usual places next time.

Unfortunately we cannot see your name on this review, so there is no way we can track your appointment or who treated you. The quality of our service is clearly shown on Treatwell where we have the full details of every client who leaves a review where on almost 7000 reviews we are a 4.8/5. Did you mention any challenges to the receptionist when you left, as I know any complaint would have come across to me immediately? We are happy to address any issues when have full details. As a client it is your massage and instructions to the masseuse about pressure or to leave an area is always in the hands of the client.

AVOID Thieves

AVOID, AVOID AVOUD Horrific avoid Wowcher they'll just forward your messages and have a go at you for T's&C's. Stole the money without giving the massage even though booked and cancelled within hours, exceptionally rude manager and absolutely not worth the stress, several weeks in having to fight for refund, will not be using Wowcher or Manchester massage again!

Hiding behind multiple "names" on different sites and spreading inaccurate reports is typical of a keyboard warrior or as they are also known a "troll". The last resort of all is to bend the facts and blame everyone except yourself. T&Cs are clear to read, civilisation functions because rules are in place, it's not difficult to understand.

Rude receptionist ruins experience

It’s unfortunate that Manchester Massage and Manchester Chiropractors allows its reputation to be damaged by the unprofessional behavior of its receptionist, Lisa. Many customers have reported her hostile attitude, yet the issue persists. Rather than providing good customer service, she seems more interested in arguing with customers—both in person and in response to reviews.

A business is only as strong as its customer service, and it’s disappointing to see a front-facing employee negatively impacting both customers and the hardworking staff. Based on past experiences, I expect this review will receive an argumentative response rather than any meaningful improvement.

Edit: I’d like to stress how inaccurate the responses are on this review are. I did not demand that I get a free massage, I asked because I was told by the receptionist that if I booked I would get this deal, which my friend did receive and I did not. The nasty attitude in responses is the exact reason I am leaving a review like this, because you are more interested in arguing than being kind and addressing the issue and are well prepared to attempt to make a customer of yours look like they are in the problem, when it is not. This has been reported by many people now aside myself and you really need to rethink the way you address customers. I’ve had a lot of massages with yourselves and never expected to be treated the way I have been.

Sadly Molly your review is inaccurate - you argued with the receptionist demanding a free massage which was in fact part of an offer that only went live 2 days after you booked your own appointment. As they say a refusal often offends. For your information the reviews are not answered by the receptionist.

Manchester's hidden gem

Wow what an amazing find I've been here several times now and each time I have been blown away, the girls on reception are so friendly but the therapists are so talented, I am already planning my return.

You can certainly put your trust in our experienced therapists like Kelly for a great treatment and real empathy and understanding.

Totally relaxing experience

Totally relaxing experience, I felt wonderful after my aromatherapy massage with
Kelly. She is a great therapist and I felt restored. Many thanks to all at the salon for a
chill-out experience.

I feel completely shifted by these guys.

I feel completely shifted by these guys.

I booked in for a sports massage with Anise, who I had done research on (since this was my first time) and so was hoping to have someone more experienced.

When I arrive, I’m not told of any changes to my booking, I’m just given someone else entirely, who wasn’t even an option to book with (so I know nothing of her or her experience).

I bring this up and say that I booked with Anise, and am met with a surprised look, as if they weren’t expecting me to say anything. Luckily for me, Anise overhears me saying this and says they’ll do a swap so she can work with me (like was agreed).

So anyway, she doesn’t do anything, and I’m left with the same woman that I didn’t book with, didn’t ask for, and have now asked to have instead of Anise.
It left what was supposed to be a relaxing experience, as one that had an air of awkward to it, all just because I wanted who I asked for. Who THEY asked me if I wanted!

Why would Anise agree to the swap (swap?! I booked her time!!!) and then not swap?

Why would they ask me who I/ you want, if they’re going to just completely overlook it anyway? Twice!
And with someone who wasn’t even an option I could research on the site…

Because this is my first time getting a sports massage, I have no bearing of reference to if my masseuse was actually any good, other than to say that I still have a lot of the pains I had prior to the massage, and despite asking for a focus on the lower back, it ended up feeling like it was ignored.

Fundamentally, if you’re going to ask someone who they want to work with, and they’re paying, don’t neglect their decision.

Because I don’t know how good Janet (I think her name was) actually was, and because she herself was nice, I will leave a star.

I hope you contact me offering a partial refund, or a rebooking with Anise, but I doubt it, as honestly, I believe this was a strategy of some kind to give me someone less experienced so you can make more money.

I have checked our files and we have NO CUSTOMER under this name. However I have discovered that you have posted exactly the same comments on another review site under an alternative name. I am unsure what you believe you are gaining by this kind of behaviour, but I think it speaks for itself and cheapens the value of genuine reviews.

Horrible SCAM

Horrible SCAM - booked through groupon and received a call the day before asking me if i can switch time from 10am to 11am as they would not be in. Got a call on the day at 10:07 asking if i was coming in after explaining what happened they refused to accept that i had received a call asking me to change the timing so it wasn’t my fault. Also refused to reschedule me in for another time or offer a refund. I have tried chasing through groupon but need a email from the centre confirming i did not receive the services and they are not responding to my email. Feel like i have been SCAMMED!

I woke up with a painful shoulder and booked a massage with Anisa. It was a long time since I had a Swedish massage and I forgot how good you feel afterward. Anisa was punctual and professional and offer led additional tips on stretching to avoid the small issue coming up again. I would highly recommend this venue and Anisa

Back at Manchester massage!

Haven't been able to come to Manchester Massage for quite a while, but booked this week and found everything just as good as I remembered it. Still the best place for massage that I have found, brilliant therapists and nice atmosphere. Just found that they are doing some beauty treatments now, so booked for a facial next week!
