Massage & Facial Spa FAQ
Straight answers to the 34 questions guests ask most often about booking, prices, session length, gift cards and safety at our Livonia spa.
01
Booking & Your Visit
How do I book an appointment at May Breeze Spa?
Book online through our Mangomint booking page at any hour, or call (734) 934-0890 during opening hours. Online booking shows live availability, so what you see is what is actually free.
What are May Breeze Spa's hours?
May Breeze Spa is open 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday, and 10 AM to 6 PM on Sunday — seven days a week, at 34722 Plymouth Rd, Livonia, MI 48150.
Do you take walk-ins?
When there is a gap, yes. But treatment rooms are often booked out, especially evenings and weekends, so calling ahead on (734) 934-0890 saves you a wasted trip.
How early should I arrive?
Five to ten minutes early on a first visit, so there is time for a short consultation before your treatment starts. On later visits, five minutes is plenty.
What should I tell you when I book?
The area you want the session to focus on, and the pressure you like. One sentence at booking does more for the result than anything else you can control — it means your therapist starts with a plan instead of spending the first ten minutes finding one.
Is there parking at May Breeze Spa?
Yes — free on-site parking at 34722 Plymouth Rd.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give as much notice as you can if plans change, and call (734) 934-0890 rather than leaving the appointment unattended. Call us to confirm the current policy before booking if that matters to you.
02
Massage
How much is a massage in Livonia at May Breeze Spa?
A 60-minute Signature Relaxation Massage is $70 and a 90-minute is $110. A 60-minute Therapeutic Deep-Tissue Massage is $80 and a 90-minute is $120. Hot Stone and Lymphatic Drainage are $80 for 60 minutes. Chair massage starts at $25 for 15 minutes.
What is the difference between relaxation and deep tissue massage?
Relaxation massage uses long, flowing strokes across the whole body, with the aim of calming you down. Deep tissue uses slower, firmer, more concentrated pressure on specific tight areas. Neither is better than the other — book the one that matches why you are coming in.
Which massage should I book if it is my first time?
The 60-minute Signature Relaxation Massage at $70. It is comfortable, covers the whole body, and you can ask for more pressure partway through. Booking deep tissue when you actually wanted to unwind is the more common mistake.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel like a firm, workable ache — never sharp pain. Pressure is set by your feedback, and asking your therapist to ease off mid-session is completely normal. Pain that makes you hold your breath is counterproductive: the muscle braces against it and the work stops landing.
Should I book 60 or 90 minutes?
Sixty minutes covers the whole body at a comfortable pace, or the back, neck and shoulders properly at deep-tissue pace. Ninety minutes lets the therapist slow down and cover more ground. If you are booking as a treat rather than for a specific complaint, most guests prefer the 90.
How often should I get a massage?
For ongoing tension, every two to four weeks. Research consistently finds that the relief massage gives is real but short-term, so a regular smaller session generally does more than an occasional long one.
Do you offer couples massage?
Yes. We have a dedicated couple's room with two beds where two therapists work at the same time. Couple's Signature Massage is $160 for 60 minutes and $240 for 90; Couple's Deep-Tissue is priced the same, $160 for 60 and $240 for 90. It books out first on weekends.
What is lymphatic drainage massage?
A light, rhythmic massage intended to support circulation and reduce fluid retention. Guests book it for puffiness, swelling, or recovery after body treatments. It is $80 for 60 minutes and $110 for 90. If you are recovering from surgery, get your surgeon's clearance before booking.
What is foot reflexology?
Pressure applied to specific points on the foot, ankle and lower calf. You stay fully clothed with just your shoes off. Thirty minutes is $50 and an hour is $70. It is the most approachable treatment on the menu if a full-body massage feels like more than you want to commit to.
Do I have to undress completely for a massage?
Undress to your comfort level. You are covered by a sheet throughout, and only the area being worked on is uncovered at any time. If you would rather stay fully clothed, book chair massage or foot reflexology instead.
03
Facials & Skin Care
How much does a facial cost at May Breeze Spa?
Sixty-minute facials are $80 to $90 and 90-minute facials are $108. A first-visit 60-minute facial is $75, and a 30-minute massage with a 60-minute facial is $108 on your first visit.
Which facial should I book?
If your skin just looks tired, book the Classic Facial ($80, 60 minutes). For congestion or dryness, the Deep Cleanse & Hydra Facial ($108, 90 minutes). For dark spots, the Brighten Facial ($80). For fine lines, the Anti-Aging Facial ($108). For breakouts, the Acne Facial ($108). For a first-ever facial, the First Time Facial ($75).
Are your facials customized?
Yes. Every facial is adapted to your skin on the day — the menu names describe where the treatment puts its emphasis rather than a fixed script. Your esthetician selects products after looking at your skin and hearing what you want addressed.
How often should I get a facial?
Every four to six weeks suits most skin. Facial results are cosmetic and temporary, so a regular cadence does more than one occasional treatment.
Do I need to remove my makeup before a facial?
No — cleansing is the first step of the treatment. Come as you are.
Will a facial help my acne?
Our Acne Facial is a cosmetic treatment that can help unclog pores and calm the look of breakouts. It is not a medical acne treatment. Persistent, painful or scarring acne should be seen by a dermatologist.
Can I book a facial before a wedding or event?
Yes, and please tell us the date. Extractions and exfoliation can leave skin briefly pink, so we would schedule a pre-event facial a week or more ahead rather than the day before.
Do you offer facials for men?
Yes. The Gentleman's Facial is $90 for 60 minutes — deep cleansing, exfoliating extraction, steam and moisturizing, built around skin that gets shaved regularly. Every other facial on the menu is available to anyone as well.
04
Gift Cards & Payment
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. Gift cards can be bought online through Mangomint in any amount and are delivered by email, so they work as a same-day gift. They can be used against any treatment on the menu.
Can I buy a gift card for a specific treatment?
Buy the value of the treatment you have in mind — a 60-minute Signature Relaxation Massage is $70, a Classic Facial is $80, and the two-hour Massage & Facial Combination is $160. The recipient books whatever they like against the balance.
Do you offer a first-visit discount?
Yes, three Introduction Specials: a full 60-minute First Time Facial at $75, a 30-minute Signature Massage with a 60-minute facial at $108, and a full hour of each at $150. All are first-visit only.
Do you accept HSA or FSA cards?
Massage and facial treatments booked for relaxation and general wellness are usually not HSA or FSA eligible. Eligibility generally requires a documented medical need and a letter of medical necessity from a clinician. Check with your plan administrator before assuming a card will work.
05
Safety & Suitability
Is massage safe?
NCCIH reports that the risk of harmful effects from massage appears to be low when it is performed by a trained practitioner. Tell us about recent injuries, blood clots, pregnancy, skin conditions, or anything your doctor is managing before your session so the treatment can be adjusted.
When should I see a doctor instead of booking a massage?
For new or severe pain, pain that radiates down an arm or leg, numbness or weakness, pain after a fall or car accident, pain that wakes you at night, or pain with fever or unexplained weight loss. Massage is a wellness service, not a substitute for medical assessment.
Can I get a massage while pregnant?
Please call (734) 934-0890 to discuss before booking. We will talk through what is appropriate, and some treatments — including deep-tissue work and hot stone — are generally not suitable during pregnancy.
Does massage cure back pain?
No, and we would rather say so. A 2015 Cochrane review of 25 studies covering 3,096 patients found short-term improvement in pain after massage, but rated the underlying research low enough in quality that the reviewers had very little confidence in the finding. NCCIH describes the evidence as weak. Massage is best understood as short-term relief, not a structural fix.
Are your treatments medical?
No. Every massage and facial at May Breeze Spa is a cosmetic and relaxation service. Nothing on our menu diagnoses or treats a medical condition, and nothing here should be taken as medical advice.
