Shanghai Foot Massage

Been coming here since last year and I’m not too thrilled to say this may be the last time. The guy who massaged me was so rough, I felt like I was paying just to get tortured. I kept asking him to do it softer, but he didn’t seem to understand or maybe he just dgaf. Either way the painful massage ended, and when it was time to pay, I accidentally took the change without paying him tip and he demanded I give him tip and once I handed over to him he basically snatched it out of my hand. Wtf. Honestly if it was solely up to his massage skills I would not tip him even a dollar. Never had this experience before here, not sure what’s happening with their customer service but I am very disappointed and don’t want to recommend anyone else to come here. Pay more and go somewhere where they actually care what type of massage you want.

It was maybe my 3^rd time here and definitely my LAST!
I had a bruise on my shin so I asked him not to go near it. I got a male masseuse. Fine but he was «massaging» me so lightly (starting with arms and shoulders) that I asked multiple times to add more pressure within the first few minutes but it never got better. And no, I don’t like my massages hard. It was nowhere near a massage. I was literally just being touched. I got so fed after a few times of asking that I abruptly sat up and asked for someone else. When the masseuse next to me asked what was going on, he claimed that I said I had a bruise so I didn’t want pressure… Why would I not want pressure on the REST OF MY BODY if I only asked him to not touch my one shin. A lady masseuse came to replace him and gave me a real massage… But I will never go back…

Back was hurting due to heavy lifting so Unilocaled this place and gave them a try. They are located on the second floor in a strip center. The entrance to this place looks very sketchy. For a sec, i was wondering if this place is those massage with happy ending. LOL. When you walk in, its even more sketchy. Looks like a living room with bunch of massage tables jammed pack inside. I asked for 1.5 hr foot & back massage for $ 40. Great price. This place looks like shit but man this place knows how to massage. The lady worked on my back for 40 minutes with these magic hot stones. Best foot massage place i have ever been. Must try.
Lesson of the day. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover…

Great value, very solid massage, no frills ambiance. $ 20 1hr foot massage was above average quality for below average price.

MAKE SURE THEY START EVERYONES MASSAGE AT THE SAME TIME!
Went here in a group of two and made an apt ahead of time as well. We get there and immediately we are seated. 15 min goes by and finally someone begins my gfs massage. 10 min later and I’m still sitting there looking at the ceiling.
They freaking leave me hanging for 20 more mins (this is 45 min into my arrival and 25 min into my gfs massage) and some lady finally comes to put my feet in water. Disappears for another 5 – 10 min and I finally said screw it and put my shoes back on.
Basically they have masseuses on call and so only one decided to show up that day and consequently I was left hanging. Moral of the story, if you go in a group make sure everyone starts at the same time so you that half your group isn’t sitting there watching the other half get their massage. To be fair, the manager eventually apologized but made no effort to make it up to me. She knew what was going on and decided to screw me over for the sake of a single sale. We would have gladly come back later. Now I’ll gladly never return!

Just got done with the worst massage of my life. No offense but wow… in what part of massage and relaxation do you ever feel «when will this end?!»
Today was my third time and it will definitely be my LAST time. My first visit was great so came the second time which sucked but decided to give it another try today and it’s been confirmed that I will not be returning to Shanghai.
The place is dim and quiet however, the massages? Shitty. Before I started I let my guy know I like my massages soft. Throughout my whole session. I had to ask him at least five times that he was hurting me. I really don’t know if that was his technique or if he was in a hurry to go home since we were the last ones there but jeeez! I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up with couple bruises tomorrow morning. When he was toweling off the lotion off my legs it felt like I was getting a carpet burn. no joke that is how hard he was rubbing the towel on me. This has got to be the most painful massage I have received in my life! Never again.

I hate to have to give ³⁄₅ stars to this place because my masseuse actually knew what she was doing — I like my massages relatively painful and she gave me that. What I couldn’t get past though was the fact that she wouldn’t stop talking and it was really rushed. I don’t think she even went the full hour because there were other people waiting. I’m probably never going to come back, which sucks because the physical aspect of the massage was pretty rejuvenating.

Okay so the massage is cheap. And it would’ve felt really good if the dude was gentle. I asked for it to be gentle yet he still did it rough. I consistently complained but no use… the next day my back hurt so bad I felt like I had gotten injured!

I love this place always makes me feel so relaxed and the price is so cheap I always make sure I tip extra they do such great job.

Very affordable, Chinese deep tissue massage. It’s kind of hard to find. You got to go up the stairs on the corner by the ayce bbq place and minimart and then it’ll be the second door on ur left. Once you enter, they’ll ask you which package you’d like. I usually go with «b» which is the $ 35 for an hour of deep tissue. The place is a hole in the wall, a tad noisy massage shop and has curtains to give you that little privacy. If you’re looking for an affordable thorough massage that gets the job done then this is it. Ask for Jackie. He’s pretty dang good.

I loved this place! My first time going this evening. I had the most intense tension headache, so I called since it was so late and they said come in. Saw me right away and an older women started to work on my super tense body for 60 mins. It was 35 $ plus I tipped 10 $. Now I can go home relaxed and not in pain. Totally would go back.

Hands down best massage I’ve had. Clean and professional service I’m definitely going to come back won’t hesitate to bring the family.

I usually enjoy this place, but today i had an awful experience. The female technician got angry and rude when i said that i am allergic to latex. She refused to touch my feet, (which aré very nice). Someone else had to finish the massage. This was quite embarrassing and humiliating.

This place actually IS as good as it gets. It was beyond just an over-​your-​clothes place. I had on a skinny tank top and short shorts and he gave me an intense oil massage. The vibe in there is happy and cheerful and the language barrier is not so bad. love this place! it’s my new favorite

I’ve been here twice and i’m a fan of their $ 20/​hr massages. To be clear, this is a leave-​your-​clothing-​on place. It’s a Chinese owned and run place. Instead of going out to SGV for $ 20 massages, you can just come here!
I’ve previously gone in for a full body. This can be a toss up between a thai massage place (avg. $ 40) or their full body ($ 35).
I walked in on a Monday at 3pm, so it was very much *not* busy. My massage was done by a guy and proceeded as follows: feet soak while scalp, neck, arms massaged; then feet/​calf are massaged, then you flip over and pressure is applied all over and you’re done!
Also, I just parked residentially (look out for street cleaning!)

Going for foot massage and ended up with full body too.
Honestly power of the hands are soft if looking for strong one .I don’t know I like strong one but if want just realx and want to have soft massage I will give 5 stars cuz they were give me massage more than I paid. Im going back again

You really can’t beat the price, $ 30 for a foot and back massage for an hour. Make sure to tell them if they’re massaging too hard cuz I was kinda stiff the day after. The place is upstairs above the Sanya KBBQ place. Also there are bathrooms and it’s well AC’d. You do not get naked here, I repeat, you do not get naked here. You’re on beds with other people in the room but it’s not uncomfortable.

Well you honestly pay what you get, for a super cheap price of $ 20 an hour I received a foot/​full body (D) massage. My friend likes this place so I gave it a shot, I wouldn’t say my therapist was great, but again, I paid $ 20 so I shouldn’t really have much high expectations.
We walked in pretty late, they hustle to make you stay and make your $$$$$. Walking in you just see massage tables stacked tightly next to each other in a common area where guests waiting are stacked over each other as well. It felt somewhat uncomfortable as you aren’t only exposed to the therapists but also the other guests waiting; BUT you end up zoning out underneath your towel so then it doesn’t even matter after all. I believe if you pay more you get to the better tables where it has curtains in which you get more privacy and are sectioned off.
The therapists were always slightly whispering to each other, and I wouldn’t say they went detailed with their massage. It was overall a good rhythm in a relaxed pressure, but I wouldn’t say my therapist was concerned about palpation, or noticing where my soar spots were. It was more a fluff and buff massage. So it was a 2.5 star massage for me. My friend says there are better therapists there so for those who can’t afford anything else, find your therapist and stick with them, but the vibe just felt too crammed and hustle for me to be zen in there so I’m probably never going to go back.

I went back this week and boy what an upgrade from the last visit!
It was quiet and relaxing. My friend and I got a little room in the back with two beds. Everything was amazing. It wasn’t too crazy and hard this time. They start with your head and arms while you dunk your foot in hot water… Then they do your leg & foot. They finish you off with your back when you flip over. Speaking of flipping over… The only negative this time was that there was no face hole on my massage bed. I felt like I couldn’t breathe when they had me flip over to do my back. My face was stuck on the bed… Which was VERY strange. I swear LAST time there was a face hole. Forgot to ask my friend bout her bed until now. Gonna go text her now!
But yes, I left feeling REFRESHED and RELAXED. Call for an appointment so you don’t have to wait!

This place is very hard to find. You have to go to the stairs in the corner and it’s behind all the other shops in this small plaza. Parking is awful. It’s a small lot for lots of restaurants and shops. Plus, the place looks closed when you get to it– the gates are on the window and it’s really dark.
The massage itself was pretty good, although I got package A which was 30 min foot and 30 min body. It definitely was only about 5 minutes on the feet, although they were being soaked in a bucket with warm water most of the time. It was my first foot massage, so I don’t have anything to compare it with.
Also strange– my massage started with a lady and ended with a man. Typical?!
