Medical The best deep tissue and therapeutic massages - Estetica.jyn (Palermo)

[earlyretirement]

I can't gate keep my absolute favorite massage therapists in Buenos Aires. I've been going for many years and all the team there are all really wonderful. They all have certified massage degrees and went to school and do continuous training for their profession.

There are about 4 girls working there. I go to Micaela, Maria (owner) and another Maria that is younger is an employee. They do manicures and pedicures there too but their strong suit is their massages. It's funny how I found this place many years ago. I have a lot of neck pain as I fell off the back of the motorcycle when I was younger. So I am constantly going to massages. I also enjoy full body deep tissue massages.

I kept going to various places that I found online but then a few minutes into the massage, the masseuse would ask me if I wanted a happy ending. I did not. I just wanted a massage! This would happen over and over. Sometimes even when I confirmed ahead of time via WhatsApp that I just wanted a strong massage, they would start with a really weak massage and ask the same thing about the happy ending.

So finally I just researched and found a listing that said, "NO SEXUAL SERVICES" in bolded red text. So that's how I found this place several years ago and they are great! I pay 10,000 pesos for a 1 hour massage or you can get a 4 handed massage with 2 girls and it's only 15,000 pesos. (Prices are as of November 15, 2023) so inquire with them on prices as they could change due to inflation. Regardless it's super cheap. I usually go for the 4 handed with 2 girls. Heck for $15 US + tip it's worth it. I usually go 3 times a week.

They are really great and hard workers and they are always busy. You can see their WhatsApp on their Google listing. Just schedule and then show up. You have to buzz and sometimes there is a doorman in the building but if not, they will send someone down to open the door.

I highly recommend them! It's my go to place for massages!

You are 3 for 3 earlyretirement! I went to get a deep tissue massage from Micaela this morning! She is so strong! I was impressed with their set up. They had bathrooms to use before my session and they had their degrees on the wall. It looks like they are all certified massage therapists. My Spanish isn't good but we didn't have problems communicating.

I got the 1 hour deep tissue massage and they had hot stones they put on my back. It was heavenly! I need to follow all of your recommendations! Thanks for posting!

Thank you! I just booked an appointment. Micaela wasn't available but they said Maria could do it so I'm going in. Thanks!

I also went to go get a massage the other day at a place I found online and I was offered a happy ending. I just wanted a normal massage! The girl looked so shocked I didn't want one. So thanks for posting about this place. I didn't feel like going to the Four Seasons and spending a fortune. $12 US feels like great value to me!

Thank you so much. We were wondering about a place for a couples massage. Can we do a couples massage here? Do they have two tables in the same room?

Yes, I'm sorry to have forgotten the point about them being available for couples massages. I often go with my wife and we get the couples massage at the same time. In fact, they discount the price when you go both at the same time. Just like they discount the 4 handed massage with 2 girls. I believe they charge the same price. With inflation, ask them what their prices are but I often go with my wife. It's awesome!

it was in another post, so i'll put it here, too: "And they have specials like couples massage for 1 hour where my husband and I went in the same room and had 2 people giving us a massage and it was for 10,000 pesos total plus tip! 10,000 pesos was only around $20 US dollars while we were there. That same thing here in California we pay $300 US dollars."

I finally got a chance to come up for air and wanted to post a Trip Report on my 2-month trip to Buenos Aires this summer. (June and July 2023). Please keep in mind the exchange rate at the time of this posting was only 500 pesos to $1 US. Now it's over 1,000 pesos to $1 US as of November 21...

Wow! Only $20 US for a couples massage for an hour? Total for both? I think I'm doomed for work if things are so cheap. That's a shock to me. I can't imagine making so very little.

Yes, the salaries here are VERY low. My lawyer friends make less than $1,200 USD per month. My friends that are office workers make around $700 to /800 USD per month equivalent. I'm not sure how much RN's make here but I wouldn't guess they make too much. You are much better suited to go back to the USA as RN's make a lot of money there.
