Lost in Ln 162
The Wash & Fold on Xinsheng is solid, but if you want something even closer, there's a tiny place tucked inside Ln 162 itself. Walk past the fruit stand and look for the blue sign that says "自助洗衣" above a narrow doorway. It's easy to miss because it's basically just a room with three machines, but the owner keeps it spotless and it's only 60 NT per load. The catch is it closes at 9pm sharp, so you can't do late night laundry runs like at the 24hr spots.
You don't have to go far actually. There's a laundromat on the corner of Xinyi Road and Lane 162 that opened last year. It's called "Bubble Wash" and they use these front-loading machines that are way gentler on clothes than the top-loaders most places have around here. The owner is a younger guy who keeps the place smelling like lemongrass instead of bleach and regret. Just be aware that the dryers there run hot, so if you've got anything delicate, hang it up at home instead.
honestly just skip the laundromats around there and walk to the one on Xinsheng South Road, it's like a 10 minute walk from Ln 162. it's a 24hr self-serve spot called "Wash & Fold" and they have these massive industrial machines that'll handle anything, even your stinky tofu disaster. prices are standard for the area but you're not paying for weird smells or cramped quarters. also pro tip for the stain: dab some rice wine on it before washing, it cuts through the grease way better than anything else.

Seeking recommendations for facial or massage treatments targeting jaw tension and TMJ issues
For muscle-based jaw tightness, the traditional 推拿 places often do better than the fancy facial spas, and they're cheaper. There's a small 國術館 near Shuanglian I go to for neck and jaw stuff, the guy works the masseter from outside and does traction on the cervical spine, which is where a lot of referred jaw tension actually starts. Around NT$800 for 40 minutes, no booking app, you just walk in. It won't fix a real joint problem but if your issue is muscular clenching it's worth a try.
if its actual tmj stuff and not just cosmetic face massage, go see a dentist who does 咬合板 (occlusal splint) first, the massage places treat the symptom not the joint. dr chen at a clinic off fuxing south road near daan park sorted my clicking in like 3 visits, mostly by adjusting my bite & giving me a night guard. the relief from that lasted way longer than any spa facial i tried
my physio at a small clinic near Liuzhangli MRT did intraoral work on my masseter and pterygoid muscles, basically gloved finger inside the cheek releasing trigger points. weird at first but it fixed the morning headaches within maybe 4 sessions. its not a spa thing at all, its rehab, so book it as a medical visit. 針灸 also helped me, the needles go in the jaw and temple, but the physio did more for the actual tightness.
