After 5 years in business, we are raising our rates effective January 1, 2019. This decision was not made lightly: we strive to keep our costs low in order to bring massage to as many people as possible. This isn't simply a luxury for the well-off -- this is a healing modality that all people should have access to. However, costs have increased over the years, and we need to make up the difference. I have always believed that if you treat your staff well, that quality of care will be reflected in the integrity of the business. Because of that, I have consistently increased everyone's pay rate year after year to honor their hard work and thank them for their commitment to Soma. If I intend to continue that trend of reward-for-hard-work while still maintaining our no-tipping-policy, then the time has come for us to raise our rates. You can read more about our modest rate increase and see pricing on our website here. We hope you will continue to see us here at Soma because we love seeing you too! And remember: you can purchase massage gift certificates and 6 packs to lock in our current rates for a little while longer! |
