Just For Massage

The reason why I gave this place a one star is because they ask to be paid first which I thought was kind of weird. That wasn’t the main reason why I don’t recommend this place they took us in didn’t start us until 10 minutes later preparing their stuff and during the massage they were talking!!! All in total I only got a 45 min massage I looked at the time before we started and finished. Should’ve known not to go to crappy asian places. On Top of that they have a min tip of $ 10 I wanted to only tip $ 5 because of the crappy experience to let her know I didn’t like it but she kept on insisting $ 5 was too low. Who does that? A tip is up to how much a person want to give if they like your service not a demand requirement.

We really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it for the following reasons:
Not relaxing. When the main door opens the bells rings.
The place was stuffy.
Smells like food.
They seem to rush.
They demand payment before the massage.
Hopefully, this place will get better in the near future.

The first review sold me on this place, the way she broke it down into plus and minus points. That prepared me. I was already leaning toward going to this place because I live nearby and it’s cheap! I am from San Francisco and Chinese/​Asian massage centers are on every corner. You get use to paying first, it’s standard. Just say you’ll tip afterwards, and bring some cash. The reviewer is totally spot-​on about the Chinese massage being more deep tissue and reflexology muscle work than the very milk toast approach at Massage Envy. If you want a spa atmosphere and to feel pampered — go there (but you will pay for it $$$). The only drawback and the only reason I gave 4 stars is because you can hear conversations in the other massage rooms. But what do you want for $ 40??? This has to be the cheapest place in town. And it is good!
The towel versus the coverage with the sheet was not an issue for me. My massage person, Mei, was superb! She put her all into it and gave me a head-​to-​toe that worked the knots out and totally relaxed me. I say two thumbs up!

I don’t know why this place gets such bad reviews! For $ 40 + tax and tip for a 1 hour massage, this place is a pretty good deal.
I’ll admit that some things that they do are a little odd–
1. you have to pay first
2. I hope you’re not shy– this place doesn’t use sheets, but uses a bath towel instead. so depending on how big you are, you might not be as covered as you’d like. I went with my 6’0, 250lb boyfriend and let’s just say it was pretty funny. Luckily he is not bashful.
3. the people here can come off as rude at times, but they’re not trying to be (if you’ve ever been to a legit Chinese restaurant, you know what I’m talking about)
From reading the previous comments, people need to understand that there is a large difference between Asian-​style and American style massages. I like to go Asian places to work on my messed up back and hips and go to American places for relaxation– a good Asian place knows their pressure points very well like this one.
I know this sounds weird, but my butt hurts a lot because of my hip problems and many American places are either afraid to touch your butt or don’t do a good job. Places like this one are not afraid to massage everywhere (except your privates of course!).
In summary:
The GOOD:
1. CHEAP! They have a punch card system on top of only being $ 40– your 10^th massage is free: D
2. Pressure points, pressure points!
3. effective– I’ve faster improvement in my back problems than just going to my chiropractor alone.
4. close to home
5. Clean– This place was pretty sanitary.
Do not come here if:
1. you are shy or prudish
2. Don’t like Asian-​style massage (it’s a bit firmer than American style massages– think deep tissue)
3. are getting a massage for relaxation purposes rather than muscle and joint work– Massage Envy in the same shopping center is better for this.
Overall, I LOVE THIS PLACE. It’s cheap, clean, effective, and like 5 minutes away from my house. What more could I possibly ask for?

I went to this place when they first started. The lady at the front desk handed me some discount flyers that says «private massage by young therapists».It sounded like a hoe ground right there! But,.i still continued my adventure. During my massage, the therapist said.“you really had a nice butt and your curves are really great!”. Red flag, gotta get my ass outta here stat! On my way out, 2 guys were tryin to «pick me up».
DO NOT EVER GET YOUR SHADOW NEAR THIS PLACE! trash trash trash!
No star but the app asks for it.

This place is terrible. Stay away. Here’s why:
1. Their debit card machine wasn’t working so she swiped my card 5 times. Luckily I didn’t get overcharged. Not a big deal, but get this fixed.
2. They ask you to pay and tip BEFORE you get your massage. What kind of place does that? Basically, you can leave a $ 10 tip and get crappy service. No thanks.
3. I asked the therapist to massage my upper extremities (shoulder and neck). She spent the majority of the time on my lower body. When I asked her again, she told me she would massage my upper body when I came back. Really??? I paid her to do one thing and she couldn’t do it.
I am definitely not coming back. Neither should you.

GREAT prices! Nice environment and skilled therapists!
