    I went to Hand and Stone a few times and signed up for the subscription, which they put into effect immediately from the store level. When I decided cancel the subscription, the representative on the phone said they were unable to do anything pertaining to cancellation and I would have to do it at the store level. I went to the store and they said that they are also unable to do any cancellations, but rather the store manager (who was not there at the moment) would have to put in a request to a third-party representative that no one has any access to except for the store managers. The representative who I spoke to at the store said they would leave a message for the store manager to send a message to this cancelling representative. After a week of no contact I went to the store again where they said there was no sign of a cancellation request; this time the store manager was there and promised to send a cancellation request and said someone would be contacting us about cancellation. After another week I was finally contacted by this representative and by then this person told me that I was a few days into the new month, so they would be charging me again before canceling. 6 months have passed now and I check my credit card to find that they never cancelled the subscription, and have been charging my over $80 per month since cancelling in September of last year. Now after calling and calling, they said they will refund 1 month and I have 90 days to redeem the credits for the other months. By doing this they are illegally using my personal information and taking my advantage of my credit card information. They let you sign up but do not allow cancel. This detail is not told to you as sign-up, they tell you you can cancel whenever you want but do not tell you what that means; it means you can request to talk to someone who can send a request to someone else and if they decide that they are willing, they will charge you at least one more time before canceling.

    I received a gift card for Xmas from a company raffle. When I scheduled the massage for a Friday, while driving to the clinic for the massage friday morning, *** clinic called me at 8:44 AM to let me know that the girl called in sick who was doing my 9 AM massage and they need to reschedule. Due to this cancellation, they said they were willing to compensate me an added 30 minutes to my massage 100% free and instead of 1 hour I would receive a 90 minute massage. I said that sounds great and thanked them and scheduled the appointment for the following Monday afternoon at 1 PM. *** clinic then called me again the Sunday before my appointment late in the afternoon to let me know the other therapist, (Different from the first), also called off sick and was taking the entire week off for sickness. *** staff member told me that due to this cancellation on their end, they were willing to add an additional 30 minute compensation. However, they informed me that due to them only having 60 or 90 minutes massages, they suggested putting together the two compensated 30 minute add on into their own 1 hour massage at a later date in which would be completely free to me and suggested for me to take the gift card and use it for another service or massage at a different location in which I did. Two days later, someone called me to told me they don't give away free services and I had to pay for my "Comped" 1 hour massage scheduled. I argued and they talked to the employees that offered this. ***n called me back a day later saying all they were willing to do was offer one comped 30 minute add on and I had to pay for the rest of the massage at their full $139 price. This is terrible customer service and this is not how you treat people especially when they cancelled on me twice in a row within a 4 day period. I will NEVER come to this place again and will recommend against it to others. I will also inform my company not to purchase gift cards for raffles from hand and stone.
