The NOW Massage West Hollywood

Critical: QualityI’m going to preface this with the fact that I get a lot of Thai massages/ Japanese Shiatsu massages… so this review is strictly based on their “deep tissue”… I decided to try The NOW since I had a gift card from 2020 (right before Covid broke out). I wanted an 80 minute deep tissue massage with a focus on my shoulders and neck….I was honestly excited to try this place – unfortunately I came out disappointed as I received 80 minutes of light rubbing on my legs.The receptionist specifically said this masseuse was great at deep tissue….. but he wasn’t.She said he had experience so I was expecting him to know where to press.He did not do much work on my shoulders (when I asked him to focus on shoulders) and just softly rubbed his fingers where he should have been adding pressure.When he massaged my legs I asked him to add a bit more pressure…he then proceeded to press A LOT harder and I started feeling his nails dig into my skin several times. I even mentioned this to him.On top of all of this his hands were extremely cold and rough. Every time he touched my skin I cringed and got chills.At the end of this journey (thank God),The receptionist gave me a discount however not sure how I can come back… everything about The NOW seems professional and elevated until you experience the massage itself.Also, as an FYI, the central area (where the rooms are separated by curtains) is pretty chilly esp. these days.I think the masseuse should always ask to see how the temperature of the room feels and offer to make the bed warmer or bring in a Heat lamp as needed. I felt like I was naked in a warehouse with no central heat.”Rustic” is cute, but not during your hundred something dollar massage.P.S.I did not appreciate the fact that the massage oil was not taken off. Most massage places bring a hot towel to wipe the oil off. It was extremely sticky and my skin stuck to my clothes.P.P.S.The masseuse’s name is Khalil. Please don’t waste your time w this guy. No offense to him but that was a waste of money.I’m going to preface this with the fact that I get a lot of Thai massages/ Japanese Shiatsu massages… so this review is strictly based on their “deep tissue”… I decided to try The NOW since I had a gift card from 2020 (right before …More

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityI absolutely love The Now!! I had a membership and I would literally visit this location multiple times a month just because of Jose! I’ve tried other therapists before discovering Jose and my experiences were descent. After COVID19 I was so disappointed to hear that Jose was no longer at this location. After asking around and doing some research I recently found him… Innovation Massage by Jose. When I cant get in with him I simply come to The Now on Beverly because its close to home. Lovely space, smells great, beautiful decor.I absolutely love The Now!! I had a membership and I would literally visit this location multiple times a month just because of Jose!
