That makes sense. However, in my limited experience you are not really getting the half hour or full hour of massage. For example if you go for half hour, they start with the hj routine within about 10-15 mins. If you opt for full service, the massage time is even less. You basically pay $50 for a non existent massage and then $150 on top of that for full service.
I have read threads from years ago where the value was insane in comparison to the prices they are charging today. I guess I missed out lol.
And I get it, that is what they charge and you can opt not to partake. Interesting discussing though.
