JB Natural Foot Massage

Terrible. The manager had the gall to demand a $ 5 tip though I had given the masseuse $ 4 for a $ 25 foot massage that was adequate at best. I explained a tip is up to the patron. Asshole. The place was noisy, dirty, and with so many places around, not worth it.

Good for a $ 25 foot massage. It’s your typical Chinese foot reflexology. Good pressure and they speak a little English (enough for them to understand what you want). I would come back.

I love this place!!!

I live right by this place and have wanted to go in for a while. I always chicken out last minute because I hate the unknown. Today I just didn’t think about it and opened the door… If you’re down for a new, adventurous and different type of experience then this place is for you! It’s no Burke Williams. This place gives TRUE thai massages… I read some of the negative comments and yes, it’s a rough massage. It’s not a nice one. Don’t rate them poorly because you’re not into Thai!
I walked in not knowing what to expect. I asked for the mini-​combo ($ 25 for 30 min, 20 min on body, 10 min on feet). It’s a community massage room so there were other people getting their massages as well. Of course, all your clothes stay on! I waited all of 2 minutes…
My massage guy came out. I didn’t know what to do but he was very polite and nice, told me how to lay, etc. The massage was great! It was a THAI massage. Thai techniques include hitting, «karate chopping» and hard movements. I personally like it and he worked great on my upper back where I get knots from carrying the baby.
Also, from the negative comments… it’s a community room. There’s no door blocking noise from the back and you can hear everything that happens even outside on the sidewalk. I could hear someone in the back fully washing dishes, etc. If you think you can tune that all out, go for it! In the end, you’re paying around $ 30 with tip.
I liked my visit and I’ll be back when I’m desperate for something quick and easy.

if I could give ZERO stars I would. I called to make an appointment and they told me «ok». the girl who called back, who I couldn’t hear by the way because she spoke in a whisper voice, said she was sorry and had to move my appointment up 30 minutes, I said it wasn’t ok, i needed the time I requested. She said ok 1 minute, I’ll call you back. she called back and conformed it for the original time. I was on my way out the door and she called back and said sorry, we can’t take you. I mean really. Get your act together. I normally go here but won’t ever, ever go back. Learn how to conduct business properly.

Great location-​nice people and they listen!

I have received massages from 5 Star Resorts to the streets of Bangkok — and I still have to say that the Foot Massages I receive at JB Natural are the very best. I constantly have someone new working on me when I go and I always leave feeling 10x better. They give deep tissue massages worth WAY more than the asking price. It’s the best location to receive a quality massage without burning holes in your pockets.
GO immediately.

I had 30 minutes to waste while my cousins got pedicures next door. So I found this spot and decided to check out what type of massages they offered. 30 minute foot spa for $ 20. Sure!
Welp. I went in and was trying to decide between a full body or foot massage, and decided just foot. So then I enter…
This guy brings me in to the room, a community room. It’s super bright due to the skylight, which is a boo! But. They put a towel over my eyes to block the light.
While getting the foot massage, there are workers just chatting and having lunch or something because all I hear is the microwave going and the utensils slapping on plates. Terrible. I’m suppose to relax while people are talking and eating around me. Ugh.
The massage– the guy was terrible. He was squeezing my knees and ankles. On top of the horrendous atmosphere, the massage was so disappointing. I just want my foot rubbed and he was going up my legs and knees? It hurt so bad, too, cause he was pressing areas probably thinking they were pressure points, but no, it was not a massage. More of an abuse.
I should have said something, but I thought pulling my foot away or saying, «ouch» was clear. Not in this case.
I’ve had plenty of massages in my life. This, by far, was THE WORST!!!
Go someplace else!!! Anywhere else!!!

Worst massage I’ve ever had in my LIFE. The woman who gave my massage used no pressure at all and kept repeating the same movements over and over. She was talking to the people next to her the entire time and was not paying attention to what she was doing at all. I was so angry I didn’t want to pay them one dollar. She got no tip at all. The setup is ghetto, you can see all the supplies out, the room is not dark. Stay away at all costs, trust me!

The place is a bit awkward when you walk in, but the guy in front was very friendly and walks you through the massage options. I chose the $ 35 70 minute full body massage.
I had Bill and he was amazing. He knew the problem areas and spent more time kneading the knots out.
PLEASE NOTE: this is not a relaxing type massage. It’s definitely the kind where you will feel sore about. There is tons of pressure, but you’ll get those problems area feeling relaxed and great.

love this place. don’t go there for fancy, go there for a cheap, hardcore massage. it’s blocks from my house and i have been countless times. never had a bad experience.

I love this place, but who you get (or don’t get) is the difference between a 1 star experience and a 4 star experience.
Bill is a wizard. He can sense where you feel pain and adjusts his touch accordingly. I just got home from an hour massage ($ 25 — $ 35 with a $ 10 tip) and I feel like a new woman: my head is out of my shoulders, my toes are cracked, my neck feels loose, and my back is still warm from his touch. A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G massage for the price. The only reason I am giving JB a 4 star instead of 5 is due to their lack of consistency. They need to quality their staff to manage the experience and brand. If I can’t reserve Bill, I won’t go.

Ghetto set up
Painful massages
Loud and disrespectful staff.
Not the most relaxing experience. Go elsewhere.

I still haven’t been contacted by the owner… amazing.

I like to come here for a relaxing hour… and really the price ($ 25 for an hour) is pretty amazing. You are not in a private room at all, so just wear your sweats and a t shirt and be prepared to be pampered for an hour.
The chairs are all in a row, so you lie back and soon forget you are in a public space.
The foot massage is wonderful (with warm foot bath included), and the rest of the body massage is nice too. It’s not AMAZING, but it’s so inexpensive that you really get your money’s worth.
I don’t have a favorite person there – though I have been several times and there are definitely some masseurs who are better than others.
All in all, why not spend an hour getting a fine massage?

meh. I’ve been once and got a 90min. The massage was below average and part of it was there was absolutely no method to it. it’s like when you get a casual massage from a friend or something — just a bunch of squeezing & rubbing (you know what I mean don’t get suspicious) — it’s better than nothing, but not worth it whatever it cost, maybe $ 70? No acupressure, Swedish, Thai methodology — just squeezing. I can go to many other places in LA that are much better for that price.

Bill = 5 stars
Lisa = 2 stars
But the place gets a 4 anyway, mostly because I usually am able to get Bill. Bill (I’m sure that’s not his real name, but whatever) is hands-​down amazing. For $ 25 plus a $ 10 tip (don’t be cheap, y’all — you KNOW they don’t get paid much here), Bill will give you bang for your buck. He’s got great pressure, knows just where to press to release your pain, and you will leave feeling blissed out. I ask for him every time I go and since I live just a few blocks away, I’m willing to wait to make sure I get Bill each time.
Except when I went on MLK Day and found out Bill doesn’t work on Mondays. Booooooo! Against my better judgment, I booked an appointment anyway for 15 minutes later with Lisa. Big mistake. Her massage was very light and unfocused. She couldn’t really differentiate between muscle and bone in my back (OUCH!), and for some reason she kept picking at my callouses over and over again with her thumbnail (I was a dancer for many years, so I have pretty calloused feet). Um… they’re callouses — that means I can’t FEEL anything there, so please move on to another part of my foot. She also totally forgot about my arms, like totally.
Since I wasn’t so blissed out this time, I peeked out of my towel eye cover a few times to see her staring off into space. Not good, I tell you. I still tipped her the $ 10 — I mean seriously, why would you give less? These people work in shitty conditions and probably make very little considering the massage is just $ 25/​hour.
But anyway, as long as I can always get an appointment with Bill, I’ll keep coming back!

The Heavens have parted and the angels have begun their descent from up above. All is well in the world and you need not fret for the greatest one hour massage you will ever be so fortunate as to receive for the low low price of $ 25 is right around the corner, if you’re in Beverly Hills. ;) I cant say enough of this foot massage place. Its a head-​to-​toe lavish experience and so worth every penny. Sometimes you just need a little TLC, to check out from you worries & woes if only for an hour, and who doesn’t think they’re worth $ 25??? Please ask for Lisa she was caring and giving and made my day a whole lot better. ;) Happy Thursday everybody.

I’m not sure why this place got bad reviews but i think this place is great! I love massages and I’ve had them everywhere from Beverly Hills Hotels to the Chiropractic Office.
Let just say this isn’t a VIP Massage, but the people working here are really sweet, hard working, and good at what they do. Not only that, but you can get a combo (back and feet 70mins) massage for only $ 35! Crazy inexpensive!
They also specialize in Reflexology which is soothing and relaxing, by using pressure points in the muscles.
I highly recommend this place for a easy, inexpensive, and relaxing massage.

I am only giving one star right now based on the latest experience I had, details to follow.
But first of all, the positives:
1.) $ 25 + a $ 5 or $ 10 tip is a great price to pay for an hour of relaxation. Especially if you get Ethan who is the best at foot reflexology and accupressure. If you go with Ethan, this place is five stars, hands down, highly recommended.
2.) Its reasonably clean. Usually the towels I have had used on me were out of the dryer fresh and they do take care to change out the plastic liners for the foot baths. I’ve seen them do it. Can’t speak to the consistency of this practice, but I will trust they are following cleanliness protocol.
The not so positives:
1.) The quality of service is hit or miss, depending on who you get. Typical of any massage boutique, I suppose.
2.)The only fluent English speaker is the owner, who is there only occasionally. So if you have any kind of injury or situation you need communicated, don’t go until you have yourself sorted out.
3.) You get placed in one ten recliners, all lined up in a row. You are two feet away from your neighbor. Last time I went the person next to me snored and farted the whole hour I was there. Not relaxing. Go when they aren’t busy, unless you don’t mind a crowd.
The reason I am pissed off:
The last time I went I had this girl Julie. I hear she migrated over from Contempo nails? Her technique was full on nail tech, not trained reflexologist. She seemed unfocused and her attitude was snitty. Why is she here?
Her attitude more than her deeply flawed technique was reflected in her tip. Bear in mind I am consistently a 20% tipper on beauty/​spa service, so anything less than that is a reflection of my extreme displeasure.
Let me pause for a moment to say this: Tips are a gesture of appreciation, not a requirement, and certainly not an entitlement.
The girl working the desk asked me how much I was going to tip. I told her it was taken care of. Note to desk girl — DON’T ask in a demanding tone how much for tip. The proper way to ask if you must (and you should know this) is to ask politely if the customer would like to add gratuity. Really, its better if you don’t ask at all. Those of who tip, do and often don’t respond well to demands. Those who don’t tip, won’t, and you are wasting your breath.
I walked out and went down the street to check on a friend at Contempo. And here’s the best part… the desk girl actually FOLLOWED ME DOWN THE STREET and told me that I didn’t tip Julie. She stood there and demanded. Really kind of snapped me out of the quasi zen place I was trying to achieve. Didn’t appreciate that bit at all.
Here’s the thing. Bad service doesn’t get rewarded. Tips are rewards.
I am still offended and am planning on checking out the other foot reflexology place just one block north on the same side of Robertson this weekend.
The management would be advised to review the technique of Julie, talk to her about her attitude, and/​or possibly just fire her. The desk girl should just straight up be canned.
