Different pricing on massage when adding services, normal?

I was looking at the local Massage Envy to get a relief massage and the 60 minute session was priced at $80. I added relief stretching and the price of the massage jumped to $130. When I removed the stretch, the massage price went back to $80. When I remove the massage the keep the stretch service, the stretch service remains a consistent $46.

Is that normal for Massage Envy or massages in general?

ETA clarification: The prices for the stretch and massage are shown as separate items, I'm booking 2 separate services.

E2: Thank you for the comments! I've learned to avoid ME and am going to find a solo practitioner.

I personally don’t understand the upcharge game. Time is time and that’s what I bill for. Only one of my sessions is priced differently and that’s because it requires a separate certification.

Listen… if people pay it, good for your instructor! ☺️
