I was really looking forward to getting a massage with Mr. Lee but due to poor communication this never happened. He seems like a nice gentleman but his scheduling techniques haven't kept up with the times and he still uses pen and paper. I called and made an appointment and as soon as I scheduled it put it in my iCal. I found it odd that I never got a confirmation phone call or text confirming my appointment closer to the date.
I show up for my appointment and start getting yelled at by Mr. Lee. He says that I booked the massage for the wrong day and that he's with a client. I say "okay" and walk away. Next thing I know he's chasing me down the block saying "see you booked a week ago and then you called and cancelled the appointment". I never did that. The he goes "you can re-schedule or find someone else."
Maybe he didn't like my name because I'm not a white person and so he cancelled my appointment and is blaming me. I'll never know. I guess the universe is on my side because I would never want to get a massage from someone who isn't grounded and gets upset so easily for his own mistakes.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Charles J.Washington, DC04Oct 29, 2022
There was a fear of Spas that was part of my DNA...My brother had been convinced they were Dens of iniquity and Sin....Well I don't know where he was ... But, it was not here...Wan's professional staff were honest, sincere and relaxed me of my fears while relaxing my tensions....Made me a new man

I have taken two massages from Wan so far and he is AMAZING. The atmosphere was really relaxing, Wan was very responsive to feedback, and the massages were some of the best I have ever had. I had a really bad neck and head ache, and Wan was able to make me feel better with his magic hands!! I'm excited for my next massage with him!

Wan Lee knows what he is doing. His experience is noticeable the minute he starts putting pressure on areas of concern. I woke up limping and with pain on my left side from neck to toes-he knew immediately what to do. You feel the pain, but you also feel relieved-I'm much better now! Don't forget to leave a message when you call, he won't pick up the phone but will call you back right away...

Wan is as good as it gets. He's able to use more pressure than the typical massage therapist (though I'm sure he would adjust if less pressure was desired), clearly understands the human body, and uses acupressure to expertly. He's also a lovely person, and runs his practice out the downstairs of his home, which is clean and comfortable.

Wan is a professional massage therapist. He will ask you about your past experience with massage therapists and if you mention malls or franchises he will let you know that they aren't professional. You are mostly receiving a body rub - he was right. I am someone who enjoys massages from local shops or franchises like Massage Envy.
Wan had me explain "my story" and from there he took notes. I explained my disability and the pain I've been feeling. From there the massage proceeded, within 25 minutes my leg was behind my head and I can say no other past massage therapist ever did that to me. It was an amazing feeling because it helped !!!
I am college student interning for free in D.C. so yes I'm broke, but Wan's fee for $90 for an hour isn't bad compared to other shops. I'd would rather you pay for a real massage than spend $15 less for a body rub.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jennifer J.Washington, DC162711Nov 18, 2017
Despite the many options in DC, I am so glad I did my research and found Wan! I have a desk job that gives me the predictable neck and shoulder pain and occasional wrist discomfort that is increasingly getting worse. After getting a 90-minute massage from Wan, I felt better than I ever have after other massages. Wan uses a technique called accupressure which really relieved my neck and shoulders from their daily strain. I felt that he really understood muscle groups and the relationship between them, and his focus on your body really puts overpriced, superficial "massages" to shame. Wan knows what's up.
Wan is an extremely patient and kind professional and I highly recommend his service! He is also an amazing watercolor artist, and describes massage therapy as a form of art that he really loves. Wan sees clients by appointments only and I had no trouble reaching him by phone. I will be returning for sure.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Stephen W.Dublin, OH31Nov 18, 2018
I have had limited shoulder mobility from a surgery about 8 years ago. After only 1 massage session, I have regained full mobility. Wan Lee is a miracle worker. Perfect for anyone looking to get a massage/work to fix or relieve something. No frills and very reasonable price.

This was the best massage place for relief of any pains and aches that you have in your body. I can not express how wonderful Mr. Lee is in his understanding of the body. I would recommend Mr. Lee with high recommendations!

I recommend Mr. Lee for a serious massage. He uses significant pressure on trigger points to release the muscles. If you are really tight, Mr. Lee is the man for you. Also, Mr. Lee is a charming man and his massage studio is impeccable, you couldn't find a speck of dust in there if you tried.
