John Winsolow Institute

Went here on a cold Sunday for some relaxation therapy…
It took my friend & myself about 10min to find the place! Jeez… It was difficult.
I must say, $ 35 for a 1hr killer, full body massage is a mega-​deal. I had Bruce work on me — he was very friendly, somewhat awkward, but amazing hands. He used grapeseed oil, which made my skin feel incredible afterward.
It’s clean, friendly, & affordable.
Love this place.

*** UPDATE 3/​5/​2010***
Just a word of warning– apparently this place is closing. Like, now.
I’ve been calling for a couple of weeks. Only managed to talk to a person once last week, when I was told to call back later for an appointment for this weekend. Then I left a message on one of my million calls this week and never heard back (second time that’s happened). Then this morning, I finally got to talk to a live human. She informed me they’re closing and TODAY is the last day of the massage clinic. I’ve been going there — and loving it – for at least two years, and now, out of nowhere, they’re closing? WTF? So, if you’re one of the unlucky ones like me who bought their «buy a 4-​pack of gift certificates» shtick, you’re probably SOL. She gave me the owner’s name and number, and I called and left a message, but I have serious doubts I’ll hear back. I’m guessing my hard-​earned money is gone, gone, gone. My friend, who’s a reporter for the (major) newspaper where I work, wrote about this place in an article about affordable spa/​beauty treatments awhile back. Maybe I’ll suggest she do a follow-​up article about how people can get their money back from unused gift certificates. Ha.

Love, love, love this place.
Has the vibe of a pricey salon– low lighting, nice waiting area, soothing music, lovely smells– but with a third the price tag. Or less if you buy in bulk. $ 35 for one hour; buy a four pack for $ 100.
I’ve been four times and enjoyed each experience– some more than others, but none unpleasant or lacking in any way.
Check it out. Just don’t take my appointment time. ;)
