Relax Station - Silver Spring, Maryland

The massage was nice actually very good but I tipped a decent 20% and she said “more” I spread the money to show the cost and what I tipped. She said again “more tip” I said either take that or get nothing I don’t have to tip period. She asked for more again I took the whole tip back and her and another colleague ran behind me as I’m walking out of the mall. If you don’t mind tipping 30-50% the massage is nice.

I’ve been a regular at Relax Station, and their 60-minute therapeutic massages have become a key part of my self-care routine. The massages are incredible—sometimes they can be a bit painful, but that’s just part of releasing all the tension, blockages, and stagnant energy in the body. Afterward, I feel refreshed, lighter, and so much more relaxed.

I highly recommend wearing something thin and fitted, or being ready to expose areas that need focus. It makes a difference in the overall experience. Also, don’t forget to tip—these therapists are incredibly skilled, and investing in your wellness is invaluable.

If you’re looking for a therapeutic, healing massage that leaves you feeling amazing, you need to check this place out!

As someone else mentioned in their review, these practitioners pour all of their energy into helping you. I’ve never experienced a massage quite like the one I received here. It was intense—no fault of theirs, as my body was a bundle of knots! But as soon as I got off the table, I immediately noticed a difference. These professionals aren’t just masseuses; they are true healers who understand the body on a profound level. I was so moved by the care and attention I received that I matched the cost of the service as my tip. Even so, I feel that no amount of money could ever truly reflect the value of what they do. If you’re struggling with any mobility issues or simply need relief from deep-seated tension, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The transformation they provide is beyond words- it's an investment in your well-being.

On two occasions, the staff members asked for more tips than the 20% given. I was upset and felt obliged to write this note. Staff members should appreciate tips upon receipt. Please do not ask for patrons to tip you more than 20%. This is a habit at this establishment. It is RUDE!!

Two massages in one day? Not unheard of. After spending 90 minutes at Health Magic, I decided to try out Relax Station and see the difference.

For starters, the massage cubicles are set up for singles or couples. A curtain can slide open so everyone can see everyone else between the two cubicles. The other option is closing the curtain area and you get more privacy.

However, there are frosted windows on the left and right side and you/someone can see through them to some degree. Something to keep in mind if you plan on sliently dancing to Taylor Swift.

So what does this say about being naked while getting a massage?
You do not get naked. In fact, according to the sign I read in the massage cubicle, the staff does not want you to remove clothing. They also won't put lubricants on your body except hands and feet.
Quoi?! Cela ne peut pas être le cas !

I noticed while on my feet the cubicles seemed tiny, but they are not. My perspective changed while on my stomach.

The Massage Experience:
Today, I met Junli Wang. Junli looks different from the photo I saw of her, but the massage I received from her was nice.

Junli showed me to her working quarters and instructed me to remove my shirt. I obliged.
Between reading the business sign and Junli telling me to remove my shirt, I got the notion the business sign is there to keep the rabble-rouser(s) out and the legitimate clients in.

Since I wasn't going to be at this massage place for long, I didn't expect to get lubricants applied to my skin. Junli massaged my neck, shoulders, arms and back through a towel.

When Junli was done with the preliminaries, she applied some oil with lotion. I had mentioned to Junli I needed my left arm massaged more. Junli complied with my request as she continued to have a loud conversation with her colleagues. The ladies here seem to enjoy this as they talk about...well, we won't go into that.

Keep this in mind if you want a massage here, you might have to deal with the talky talky. However, you have the right to speak up if their talking is disturbing your peace and tranquility.

Anyhow, Junli wasn't done. Junli ended up massage my glutes as well. I noticed she applied the lotion and oil the same way as woman at Health Magic. This was a nice surprise considering I was only getting a 30 minute massage.

Since I also wanted my stomach and chest massage too, I extended 30 minutes to 40 minutes.

The massage was what it should have been for 30...excuse me, 40 minutes... yet 30 minute or 40 minutes is just a tease. I shall return again for a 2 hour session. It should be more relaxing I feel.

Oh, one more thing. This massage business is located on the ground floor near the train ride. Since the massage rooms are not designed from floor to ceiling, you will hear people talking, people walking, babies crying and people lying. It could get noisy.

Just something to keep in mind.

Massage was good, but the tip experience was horrible - I asked for change to tip 20% (decent for the amount of time I got), and she refused to give me back any change. Instead, she pocketed my entire bill basically giving herself a 33% tip, and told me I don't "need it"!!! Ripped off, and wasn't even ashamed. I would've argued, but will just take my business elsewhere.

Massage is normal. However, what is not normal is that after Massage was done and tip them they ask for more tips. They are telling me how much I need to tip. I have never experienced that in my life. Hold on, when I left the lady ran ?‍♂️ behind me to try to charge me the 3.5% credit card fee that I already paid in the first place. SMH, never again
