I got a 1.5 hour massage to Arkana Salon as a birthday present and was super excited since I had been wanting a massage for forever. The massage was a pretty big disappointment... Because they made this salon from an old house, the floor was incredibly squeaky with no carpet. The masseuse was very strong, but didn't focus on areas for very long, despite the 1.5 hour time frame. She was running late that day, and though she guaranteed I would still get the full experience, it was very obvious that she was rushing when she would spend seconds on spots that I knew were filled with tension. This had to be the biggest disappointment, as my 1.5 hour massage lasted only a little over an hour. Also, she had a wheely chair that she kept rolling all over the wood floor and the small stereo with poor speakers couldn't cover up the chatter and laughing coming from downstairs. Overall the atmosphere was far from relaxing and I didn't walk away feeling any better than I did walking in.
