A reliable massage shop, how to choose a good place

Massages are one of the ways you can relieve your fatigue and recover your body and mind for a while in a busy daily life. Among them, "one-person shop massage," which is run by a professional, rather than a franchise, is gaining popularity recently. More and more people are preferring one-person massage in that they can spend time exclusively for themselves in a private space.

However, because of the nature of the one-person shop, information is limited, or people often rely on word of mouth rather than marketing, so finding a "good place" is not as easy as you might think. Below are practical and effective ways to find a good place to massage one-person shop.

1. Prior to searching, choose a massage style that suits you

Massages aren't all the same way. It's important to first figure out what type of massage you want.

Swedeish and aroma massage if you're focused on recovering from fatigue

Deep Tisch or Sports Massage If Muscle Clumping Is Severe

Lymph massage if blood circulation, lymph circulation

Hotstone, acupressure massage if your goal is to relax

I have to organize what kind of effect I'm expecting first, so it's easier to find the right expert. Each massage branch has different specialties, so searching is efficient only when the direction is set.

2. Search for live-action reviews rather than portal searches

If you search for "a place that is good at massaging at a one-person shop", most of them are advertising blogs or company promotional posts. If you want to get real information, you should use a community centered on reviews or SNS.

Naver Cafe (Soyim by neighborhood, Mom Cafe)

Carrot Market Community

Instagram hashtags (#Hongdae 1 person shop #Gangnam massage recommendations, etc.)

YouTube Shorts, TikTok Review Video

Review videos and posts taken by users themselves are highly reliable as they can check the way the massage governor talks, the atmosphere inside the shop, and the products he uses. It is possible to make a much more realistic judgment than just looking at the text review.

3. I can feel it when I talk to you – Check your first impression with counseling

In order to choose a good massage parlour, it is recommended to consult briefly before making an appointment. When calling or texting, check to see if they are responding kindly and responding to inquiries with sincerity. Especially since a one-person shop provides all services entirely by one person, counseling attitude is also a part of the service.

The following questions are also useful:

Certificate or completion of training

How many years of experience

What kind of oil or products do you use

Is it possible for sensitive skin customers

Do you adjust the intensity or respond well to requests

If you answer roughly in a short answer or are unfriendly, there is a possibility that management may be neglected.

4. See if there's a word in the review called 'Sangol'

Most of the good one-person shops are regular customers. It doesn't end with just one use, but it means that there are many customers who are constantly revisiting. If there are expressions such as "I only visit here" and "I visit once a month" during the review, it is likely that it is a reliable place.

In addition, it can be seen that the authenticity of the reviews written after revisiting is higher than expressions such as "It's my first visit and I was so satisfied" in the review.

5. We need to check the location and environment of the one-person shop

No matter how good the massage is, I'm reluctant to use it whenever I'm in an uncomfortable position or if there's a lot of noise around me. A good one-person shop often meets the following conditions.

Easy to access by public transportation or with parking space

Quiet spaces isolated from the outside (especially residential areas or quiet officetels preferred)

The interior of the shop is clean and tidy

Hygienic preparation such as shower room, towel, disposable products, etc

Cleanliness or hygiene can be checked through blog photos and review photos, and you can also contact them directly during consultation.

6. Let's not just look at the price, let's weigh the "cost-effectiveness."

Prices at one-person shops are often lower than at large shops, but it is important to compare the quality of services provided and their composition, rather than choosing based solely on the cheap prices. For example,

What areas do you focus on for a 60 minute massage?

Do oils or creams use high-end products?

Does it include tea, foot bath, stretching, etc. besides massage?

You can have a high-satisfaction experience only when you consider these factors.

The massage one-person shop has one expert in charge of counseling, procedures, and care, so you can get very satisfactory results if you choose well. Rather than going somewhere close just because there is not much information, it is important to clarify the style and purpose that suits you, and to choose carefully through reviews and consultations.

If you find a 'single bone massage shop' that suits you, it can be a pleasant routine to refresh your daily life beyond just relieving fatigue.
