Belmont Shore Spa

This is my fave spa place in LongBeach! The location is really convenient since it around the many stores and food places around 2^nd street. You can walk around and shop before you get a massage or you can grab food after your spa treat. The price is really good for an hour of satisfying relaxation. And they also include hot stones for free. The therapists are so good in making sure they give extra attention to spots you need extra pressure and extra work on. You feel like a brand new person after each session. I recommend it to all my friends and family member.

This was my first massage experience in Long Beach. We walked into a clean «room» sectioned off by curtains. They will combine 2 rooms for couples if requested. The place smelled of fragrant oils and the ambience was calm and quiet (note: there was a lady in the room next to me who was loudly complaining about her massage… A little distracting). My masseuse was respectful and thorough, and I really enjoyed my 60-​min combination massage. I highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a relaxing massage experience.

Love this place. I always request a female, and they are always so sweet and thoughtful. I try to get back as much as I can!

Leon fixed my frozen shoulder! He got all of the knots out of my back and neck. I feel so much better! He is not for people who have a low tolerance for pain but he will help you! I can’t believe how great my shoulder feels.

Best massage EVER
Julia & tony are so very good!
Every time we are in town that is the first place we go.

Decent massage, but I felt uncomfortable the entire time. At one point the masseuse was on the table with me. When leaving, the masseuse criticized my 20 percent tip and asked for a ten dollar tip, to which I replied 8 dollar tip. I felt 20 percent was more than enough for that particular place. If it was socially acceptable to not tip, I would have just left.

Well I have had better massages. I had the 60 min combination massage. It includes hot stone trigger point releases and some deep tissue.
I was disappointed because my therapist asked me at the start of my treatment what I wanted to focus on. I said, shoulders and elbows. I’m an avid masters swimmer and am often tight in the upper back because of all the pulling in my workouts.
The therapist did not even touch my elbows although he did work on my shoulders. He was respectful and worked on all of my back, legs and feet as well as my hands and wrists.
My wife likes this place a lot because it’s reasonably priced and easy to get an appointment on the same day. I will stick with my trusted stand by.

Great location and wonderful service! I’ve been going to Belmont Shore Spa for a couple years now, and I’ve never been disappointed.
1.) You can’t beat the massage prices $ 39 for 55 minutes or $ 59 for 85 minutes.
2.) Julia is the best. Her ability to know where you need attention and openness to listen to your needs will leave you feeling relieved and satisfied.
Thank you, Julia! (:

I had Tom and would give him five stars easily. He’s nice, skilled, and really loosened up tense knots in my neck and shoulders from travel and too much sitting. I would return just for his service.
The one star would be for the very rude owner who ruined the experience for me. She was yelling, literally, through the curtain at Tom while he was working on me. Tom was responding and I found myself very uncomfortable listening to the back and forth. When I expressed my discomfort, he apologized but she kept on yelling. I would have complained but didn’t want to complicate things for Tom so I am leaving this review instead.
So the average is a three star– although I was very happy with the massage, I was very unhappy witnessing the scolding that came with it.

Definitely worth checking out!
I had an awful headache earlier today and called desperately asking if they had any availability within the next hour.
The lady who answered the phone said it was no problem and that she would see me in 15 minutes.
Luckily I drove there before the dinner rush when all the metered street parking spots are filled up on 2^nd street. When I entered, no one greeted me for a while. Then a man (Ben) came to help me and peeked his head into one of the «rooms» to see if it was occupied. There seemed to be a minor quarrel, which was awkward as I stood there, then a young girl on her phone walked out. That was weird.
Like the other reviews have mentioned, the «rooms» in this establishment are merely separated by curtains. You can hear everything: people coming in from the street, your neighbor’s sighs and coughs, etc. I wasn’t too rattled as I am used to Asian massage businesses that are typically one giant room separated by curtains and dividers. This is probably how they can keep their prices so low.
For one hour, Ben was my massage therapist. He was thorough and provided great deep tissue treatment. I loved my scalp/​face/​neck massage the most. The sheets smell lovely, almost herbal, and the lotions and oils smell great too. Sweet and lightly floral without being overpowering or tacky.
I gotta say, the headrest that you put your face into while you lie face down was extremely uncomfortable. I don’t know if they purchase cheap ones, or if this one was just worn down, but I could feel the wire structure as my face pressed into it. The fabric lining was not padded enough. I felt like my face was being smashed into metal bars.
Other than that, I am pretty impressed. For $ 39 an hour, I can’t complain. They don’t seem to be packed with appointments and are not fussy about last minute walk-​ins. I highly recommend Ben. Good amount of pressure and very attentive and polite.

We are huge fans of this little gem. Very nice staff and very clean. You get a great massage for for $ 39. This allows us be good to ourselves and come every week. The small areas are in a row with curtains separating you but the tables are comfortable and heated with soft blankets.
Tell the theorist what you want them to focus on and relax and enjoy the great massage and peaceful music. Allow time to find parking on side streets.

I was very pleased with my massage here. I got the hour long combo massage for $ 39. As many of the reviews mention, most of the rooms are separated my curtains. I was in one of the rooms in the back and these few have partial side walls that separate them. They don’t go all the way to the ceiling but are tall enough that they were over my head and you feel like you have more privacy. I didn’t catch the lady’s name that did my massage today but now I wish I had because she was GREAT! She was a little rough at first but I just relaxed and let her work out the kinks and it was so worth it.
I gave it 4 stars just for the lack of privacy because you can hear when your neighbor is coming or going or really into their massage so it was distracting for a few moments. But that’s the ONLY thing I can say bad about this place! I’ll definitely be back and hopefully I’ll get the same lady!

I was in need of a deep tissue massage yesterday and was lucky to get a 6 o’clock slot reservation after dinner.
I’ve been recommending this place to many friends… it is such a fantastic deal… $ 39 for an hour massage.

Services rendered: $ 39 55-​minute massage without an appointment.
Pros: 1) I was lucky to be able to get a message right away without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon. I think your chances are better when you’re coming in alone and don’t mind a male MT. 2) My massage therapist was very professional and he asked occasionally if I was okay, which I liked. I wanted more firm pressure, and he delivered quite well. He has good technique and managed to work out some of the knots in my shoulder blades. I also liked the combination of swedish, deep tissue, and acupressure. 3) The price cannot be beat. I believe the rates are so low because of the following: a) there are no individual massage rooms; everything is cordoned off by curtains; b) there are enough tables to run eight massages at one time. The other massage place down the street doesn’t have that capacity; c) they’re open 12 hours a day. 4) I really liked the lotion that my MT used for the massage. It smells great!
Cons: 1) I didn’t get the name of my MT. He was very kind and had strong muscle work! 2) Like with every Belmont Shore business, parking is an issue.
Summary: At $ 39 for 55 minutes, I will be back for sure.

Usually I write reviews after the visit of any establishment, but, I saw that Belmont shore spa has a 4 star rating. After being informed that I would have to wait 15 – 20 mins for, what I thought I had an appointment for, a female therapist.
My take on this is this… if you take appointments for your business, please honor them or call your clients and inform them that you’re running behind.
I just had to bring them down a star because of this mix up. Hopefully the massage will be worth the wait. I will be reposting after! «Wow…I reeeeeally need a massage!»

Don’t understand why my REAL review was posted under the ‘fakes’ because I TRUTHFULLY paid for my massage and reviewed this place with positive vibes. WTF???
Anyways, going again on Wednesday 11÷4÷205 with my sister, so I will probably take a pic of me and the massage therapist as proof. How can you downgrade a review yet still keep my pic?

I came here recently because I was having very bad back pains and needed a quick massage on a budget. I had Mike. OMG! He was not good, and they said everyone loves him which I do not get.
I told him (Mike) medium on the pressure but he was so rough I had to say soft, but he still was rough. He hurt my back even more with his rubbing and it was in more pain the next few days then when I went in. He did some weird stuff to my feet too which was not enjoyable, like he was sticking his finger in between my toes in an out in and out, SO WEIRD! When he got the hot towels to my back, he then proceeded to squeeze the sh%t out of my back, wtf was that? Why??? At the end he started to rub my head (or I thought he was going to) and he started scratching my head with his nails! I am not sure who would ever find that enjoyable, it was so painful! ALL of it.
I will not write this place off because there has to be someone else there that knows what they are doing. Also its a cheap massage so I guess I got what I paid for.
So in review, try it out but don’t get Mike.

This is a great place with wonderful service. You can read the other reviews for a detailed description of the facility. The important parts are there — it’s clean and the message therapists are good.
It is a great place and is not too far off from a message therapist at a chiropractors office. It’s not just an indulgence, but an important preventative treatment. They use reflexology and acupressure principles.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Belmont Spa. I had a lot of stiffness In my upper back from doing deadlifts at the gym and I really needed a good deep tissue massage. Luckily, I was in the area and I was baffled by the price: Its only $ 36.00 for a one hour massage!
I thought it couldn’t hurt to go inside and have a massage, since most one hour massages cost around 60 to 80 bucks. They do an amazing job of giving you a full body massage, and releasing tension in your upper back, shoulders and leg muscles. I really enjoyed the hot stones they put on my traps to loosen up the stiffness. After the massage, I literally felt every muscle in my body had been released from knots and tension.
They have large massage beds that you typically find in chiropractic offices, and there are no rooms, but each massage area is separated by curtains from other customers.
I will say that for only $ 36.00 bucks, this place is an absolute bargain. I haven’t tried their other massages, but I do think its worth checking out if you are In the area.
However, the parking situation is really bad. They do have a few parking spots in the back, but they are usually full. You have to pay metered street parking and may have to walk a few blocks, since Belmont shore gets packed with all of its restaurants and shopping.
If you are in Long Beach and want a good therapeutic massage at a low price, then Belmont Shore spa is worth checking out!

I work out ⁴⁄₅ times a week and a recent foray into the world of Crossfit had left my neck and upper back incredibly tight. It had gotten so bad I believed it could easily have be the cause of some pretty bad headaches I was getting on a daily basis.
I called and made an appointment with Diane. I’ve had the pleasure of Diane’s care before, but had tried another masseuse on my last visit due to scheduling conflicts. What a mistake that turned out to be… That massage had underwhelmed, and I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again this time around.
Where to start… Well, Diane is just simply amazing at what she does. Today’s massage was top 3 best I’ve ever had, if not THE very best. I told her where I was having issues and she was able to identify the problem almost immediately. She spent 75% of the session focused on it, using a wide variety of techniques (acupressure, deep tissue, hot stone) to correct and relax the problem areas in question. The other 25% included gentle and intensely satisfying attention on the hands/head/feet/quads/tri’s… Just wonderful.
It is pretty clear she has a tremendous understanding of the human body and it’s mechanics. Whether it’s corrective or relaxation (or a customized blend of both) you seek– she is absolutely your girl.
Cannot recommend her highly enough.
