Haruka Lounge at 10/209 Toorak Road, South Yarra is the fourth shop in the growing Haruka chain and has only just opened. It's a step up on its siblings, with roomier rooms and an in room shower which the other Haruka shops don't have.
Communication and customer interaction
- Therapists are polite and accommodating, and happy to adjust pressure.
- There's a language gap sometimes, so simple, clear requests work best.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- Toorak Road is an easy tram ride from the city side.
- Rooms are roomier than at the other Haruka shops.
Facilities and amenities
- There's an in room shower, which punters can use after the session.
Therapists
- Vietnamese and Asian therapists in their early 20s.
Service and massage quality
- The massage leans soft and repetitive, with little build-up, so it's a normal rub rather than a sensual one.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes – $69, 45 minutes – $89, 60 minutes – $99.
- Extras are, body slide and HJ, or you can take the HJ alone.
Session flow and timing
- The massage comes first, and the extras follow on the flip.
- There's time for a shower afterwards, and the 30 minute booking is enough for most punters.
Overall customer experience
- A friendly, comfortable shop in a good location, but the massage isn't the main reason to go.
- Worth watching as the newest shop in the chain.
