I visited Cannelle Summertown on Friday for a back, shoulder and neck massage and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.
There was a clear lack of quality and service from the outset. I was quoted £60 with no mention of duration, only to receive a 30-minute treatment. At that price, expectations are understandably higher.
The overall experience was anything but relaxing, with a setting that felt clinical and chatting from connecting rooms throughout, rather than the calm, tranquil experience I was paying for.
