Dosha Salon Spa Clackamas in Happy Valley, OR

I received the WORST massage I have ever had at the Dosha on 5th avenue. I had booked a Swedish massage but instead received something completely different. She only worked on 3 areas of my body and was pushing pressure points in those areas the entire time. At one point I could feel her nails scratching me in between pushing into my muscles. It was not relaxing and very uncomfortable. She also had me do hip exercises like I was in physical therapy. I wanted the massage to be over once it started. I am so disappointed that I wasted my time and money at this place. I walked away feeling in pain and the next day it felt like my lower back and neck were bruised. I can not believe this woman is employed as a massage therapist. I will never spend money at or recommend Dosha again.  WORST experience!!!

This review is solely for the massage. I don't know if they have multiple massage therapists, and I rarely leave a poor review, but this was the worst massage of my life. $100 for a very uncomfortable massage that didn't feel good at all. As a standard, I get deep tissue Thai massages, but I also enjoy a European style relaxation massage.

At Dosha, If the massage therapist could have chosen the least relaxing moves/awkward techniques, she did. She basically shook my body awkwardly and found very uncomfortable pressure points to squeeze.  This wasn't like the "hurt so good" kind of pain, it was the ticklish, odd and uncomfortable pain. She even scratched me with her nails and I had visible scratches 6 hours after my massage.

I can't explain how unrelaxing it was. She started by shaking my body and barely touching me with any pressure, but then she solely focused on two knots in my mid back for like 15 minutes! It was way too much focus in one spot with no relief and it wasn't the good kind of pain.

I couldn't wait for the foot massage because I figured you couldn't mess that up. But she rubbed the TOP of my feet so hard and in very uncomfortable places! It was so weird, and to top it off I smelled her BO the whole time... I know this is Portland, so maybe people prefer to be au naturelle, but if you are in this field it is so important to have good hygiene.

So disappointing.

Who cancels an appointment on a Seniors Prom day?!?! Dosha salons, that is who.
Shame on you. This young woman just had her last years in High School ruined by a worldwide Pandemic and Dosha puts the icing in the cake!
Didn't even make it right.
Don't spend your money here.
They do not care about their customers.

I had the best haircut and color from Kyle Douglas and at a great price. Very pleased with the results!!

Updating to include that "Doza" aka Meagan Mendoza Barcelona bragged online that she ruined my hair on purpose, because "no one likes you Lucy!"
If she didn't want to cut my hair she didn't have to. But her behavior makes me sick. The manager at Dosha knows this and yet, she was nasty to me too. Most unprofessional business I have ever interacted with.
