How to choose a massage salon in Moscow: what to look at
When choosing a relaxation massage salon in Moscow, don't rely on reviews alone: given the intimate nature of the subject, they are often incomplete and emotional. Look at the salon's website instead — transparent programmes and prices, genuine therapist profiles, privacy policies and 24/7 opening hours say more than any comment.
Why reviews alone are hard to trust
There are plenty of massage reviews in Moscow, but the picture they paint is distorted. The reasons are simple:
- Anonymity holds people back. Because the subject is private, guests rarely leave detailed positive reviews under their own name.
- Negativity gets written more often than praise. Just like with good restaurants, ratings can be understated — satisfied guests simply stay silent.
- Fake reviews. On anonymous platforms, some reviews — both positive and negative — are paid for.
What to look at when choosing a salon
It is more reliable to check facts, not emotions. Before your visit, pay attention to:
- Transparent prices. Programme prices are listed openly, with no hidden extras — the list and prices are visible on the all programmes page.
- Genuine therapist profiles. The photos in the therapists section should match reality.
- Range of programmes. The wider the line-up — in the salon and as an outcall service — the easier it is to find your fit.
- Privacy policies. Guests should never cross paths, and any recording must be prohibited.
- Opening hours. Round-the-clock service is a sign of a stable establishment.
