Foot Finesse

Only $ 28 for a full body massage! (Clothes on). I asked my therapist to focus on the shoulders and he did a phenomenal job. It was just what I kneaded! (See that pun there?) Thanks, Tony! I’ll be back soon.
Side note: minimum of $ 10 for tip, so take that cost into account. (See, another pun??? I’m on a roll.)

For 28 $ it is worth it! Its not just your feet but everything… The massage is not hurried. They take their time… Just let them know if you want your massage light. If you hear somebody snore in the other room then you know its a great massage.

I’ve been here about 7 times now. My experiences have been pretty good each time, and the staff are generally nice and polite. I usually request Ming (male), and he has been great. Its a 60 minute massage for about $ 28, so I’d say its a great deal. The massage is a full-​body massage (with a foot soak and foot massage) with clothes on, on top of individual couches that lay down flat. There are several chairs per room, so you are always going to be next to someone. Don’t expect it to be quiet, as there will be people coming in and out during your 60 minutes.
Unfortunately, every time I’ve brought a friend with me here, they didn’t like their masseuse. I guess it’s a hit or miss, but I tend to opt for male masseuses, as they seem to have more strength. Overall, I would continue to come back because I know what to expect for what I’m paying.

I love to go to Joe. He applies more pressure then the ladies, gentler then the other men. I do agree that you may have to speak up if they press too hard on your back. Or another option is to have a female. I love that they greet you check you in, and give you a wait time. They have a quite waiting area. Bathroom is very clean /​nice. If I had my way I’d go there every week. Very professional staff. I made my friend go for her birthday and she agreed!

We love this place always great service and there are always able to get us in we have our favorites but we’ve never had a bad massage

Simply bad… professional lotion application… absolute waste of my time… aggravated, something I did not have before the appointment.
The chap that worked on me needs more training.
I have had a dozen or so sessions at this place. It has systematically descended in quality.
Foot Finesse is off my list and not again.

The people are polite and the staff is friendly but every time I come here I walk away more sore than I was when I walked in. I don’t mind having a little more pressure but jeez they take it to the point where I have to take heavy breathes because they push too hard. I won’t be coming here again.

love it there. great prices

My mom and her best friend come here for full body massages… isn’t that cute? So when she offered to take me out for birthday for massages and other fun stuff I couldn’t say no.
The space is clean, lights dim to promote relaxation and a mix of instrumental music piping overhead. And that is the only similarity to a «traditional spa» experience you will get.
Now to real stuff.
You are in a room with other people… but since I arrived pretty much right after it opened, my mom and I were the only 2 in a room for 4.
You are fully clothed. So there’s none of the weirdness that can come from a towel that doesn’t cover well or a scratchy robe or do I leave my underwear on or not kind of stuff.
They will smash/​mash/​push/​pull you into a mushy mess. This is Asian style massage, not soft spa nicey-​nice. It really surprised me, I mean my mom and her best friend just turned 70 and they come here, how can they deal with the gruffness? Easy. SPEAK UP. My mom told them to go easy on her back and watch her knee and they totally obliged. So if you feel the pressure or pulling is too much, let them know. My masseuse asked me if the pressure was too much and I replied I was fine. I might have been a little sore after the massage (and I am always sore after all the massages I have gotten at any spa) but the knots in the back of my shoulders were gone and I didn’t feel as much back strain after a long shift like I normally do at my job.
$ 28 plus tip for an hour – not a bad deal at all. I might not do this regularly, but it’s a nice option when I feel the need to get smashed/​mashed/​pushed/​pulled into a mushy mess.

Price is good but I got bitten by a bug while in there guy said it’s probably nothing (guess what it became swollen with a bug bite mark on my arm). Plus one the guy massaging me was coughing and pass his cold to me.
I’ve had better experiences before but recently it hasn’t been good.

My knee has been damaged for 2 months now. NEVER had knee problems at all. the guy pulled my left knee soo hard and fast. I resisted the other knee. the masseuses hands was filled with cigarette smell. I told my friends and one of them went there as well and had neck problems from there. the WORST place. do not go and permanently damage urself. The lady at the counter was nice n concerned and gave me a gift certificate for another massage but threw it away. wouldn’t want to give it to anyone.

Ouch! I have come to this location a number of times since my first review, and always enjoyed my massage — until my last trip this past weekend. I almost felt like the guy was trying to hurt me. I continued with the massage, hoping it would get better and/​or be therapeutic somehow, but now it’s days later and I am still uncomfortably sore. I have had professional massages that left me sore, which is fine and sometimes welcome, but I have never felt like this before. I am afraid I won’t be going back after this experience. Real massage spas may cost more but they sure don’t feel like this.

IF YOU READ ONE REVIEW, READ THIS ONE!!!
I want to say this first — There are 2 types of reviews for this one -
1) Good ones by people that have been to Foot Massages before
2) Poor ones by people that don’t know what to expect by never having one before
If you go for a foot massage know this — They are NOT always the most comfortable. They are NOT Sports or Swedish massages. They DON’t speak English at the front desk. But they are AWESOME if you know what to expect, and they are an AMAZING bang for the buck!!!
I gave this place 4 out of 5 stars as I compared it to other Foot Massage places I’ve been to. I have been to plenty of them as well, and first learned about them when I was in… China. Of all places! Go figure. The art of the Chinese foot massage in China! Who knew? Kidding aside, EVERY foot massage I have ever received has been the EXACT SAME process at EVERY place (and yes, same as in China!)
What they do —
1) Soak your feet in a bucket lined with a garbage bag. (Get over it people, it’s more sanitary than a plain old bucket. I saw one complaint about using a bag)
2) While your feet soak, they rub your head, shoulders, and neck. Then they move to your arms and back to your shoulders. DING… Foot soak done (and yes, they walk away for a few minutes to dump out the bucket)
3) They take your feet out and wrap them in towels. They work on each foot and leg one at a time. They use PRESSURE people… This IS a massage after all. They work PRESSURE points… And yes, they will ‘slap’ or ‘hit’ your legs and arms when done. This is all part of the ancient art of Chinese massage.
4) They then walk away again to get warm towels to wipe off the lotion used on your legs/​feet
5) Next they work your front thighs/​legs.
6) They tell you to flip over, and move the head cushion to reveal an opening to put your face (with a towel for cleanliness) Yes, you are always sitting/​lying in a recliner
7) They work your whole body/​back, etc with some heavy pressure in areas they can feel problems. It’s pressure points, and they may dig in.
8) Hour over, pay your money and tip!
— Are they sometimes uncomfortable? Yes. This isn’t a Swedish massage people…
— Can they miss spots? Yes. You have your clothes on. They cannot always dig in the way they need to through shirts/​shorts, etc.
My evaluation of this place —
1) Reception on the phone — Similar to all places. Very little English. Friendly, but not sure they understood me
2) Entry Area — A bit run down. Carpeting was frayed, and could use a little fixing up. Didn’t much care, as I didn’t wait here. Was taken right back.
3) Rooms — Same as most places — One big room with 6 or 7 chairs all lined up. Your eyes are covered and music is playing, so besides for the occasional slap sounds, or buckets moving (or Rude people talking when done vs. whispering) you don’t really care. You’re fully clothed after all, so what are you worried about? Yes there are side rooms for semi-​private, and I found the main room to be a bit more open than most of the places. Neither good or bad, just their set up. I did find their chairs a little more worn than most places as well. Clean, but just showing a little age. (One person dinged them as she felt grossed out and it was unsanitary. This is what ALL foot massage places use)
4) Massager — I had a male (I’m male) and he used a heavier touch which was fine. They do ask if you have a preference and I took the first available. What I didn’t care for was the lotion they used. It was normal Suave lotion from the store. I don’t like them as they smell bad, and prefer something a little more ‘spa like’. Most places either use unscented, or something a pinch nicer. My guy (and I saw another) put gloves on before touching my feet… Which I find funny, since they have been soaking for 20 minutes in a water solution and then rubbed clean/​dry with towels. While I find feet gross, it is their job. The problem with gloves, is it doesn’t allow them to dig into your feet with the right pressure as they do without gloves. Of all my foot massages, this was the 2^nd or 3^rd place out of 10 that have used gloves. I prefer without. On the flip side, I have been having some major problems with my neck/​shoulders the past 3 days and he honed in at the end and noticed it. He worked 10 extra minutes right in the areas that I have been having problems without my telling him. KUDOS!!!
So — This was on par with most places and met my expectations for a last minute decision. Would I go back? Yes. Would I try another one in the area first? Yes.
OH, and I don’t live up here anymore, so I knew nothing about any of these places before I went.

The lady was coughing and clearing her throat the whole time. And I could feel her coughing all over my feet. She didn’t try to cough the other way. Also, she honestly just was really bad. Felt like a dog hopping on me with their two front paws. Then when she rubbed my arms and legs I thought she was trying to scrape my skin off! So my lady was obviously not skilled. I went with 3 other girlfriends. One loved hers and another didn’t like hers. My 8 month pregnant friend said it was decent. We all went for her Bc she had super swollen feet. Anyway the price is $ 26 with a check in. I gave the lady a $ 5 tip and she threw the money down onto the desk!!! She was obviously angry. Considering that she was not good at all, a 19% tip is something to be grateful for, no? An hour later my friend and I were in pain too. I guess it all depends who you get there. There are so many people working there.

3 stars for value, accommodation of appointment, and location. The actual massage itself was way too hard. I was almost praying it would be over. My problem is that I don’t know how to tell my masseuse to lighten up… again, that is my issue. They have semi-​private rooms where there are 3 tables instead of a whole slew of other people so I appreciate that. As expected, Chinese/​Asian service is the least friendliest.
I don’t think I’ll be back again. There are other places that I have enjoyed in the past. This is not one of them.

Love this place! Amazing deal and you leave feeling great. They are rough in a good way so if you don’t like rough just tell them. I come here all the time.

I’m not one to bash any place; I pride myself on reviews that are fair and balanced, giving honest and constructive feedback. That said, I need to be completely honest about this place. I was not pleased. In fact, I was in a state of shock for a few days regarding my experience.
I came here for a bridal celebration for one of my dear friends. It was me and 5 other girls. 3 were cool with their services and found them «relaxing» and 3 were not –we found it too rough So, off the bat, it’s a 50 – 50 shot at the service you will receive.
Here is what I *think* happened. My friend Wendy made the appointment and did a great job following up and confirming at least twice after her initial phone call. We were told that all 6 of us would be in the same room for the service at the same time. I was not sure how this place would be-​in some places it is a more open environment, where you can talk to one another, so I think that was the plan.
When we arrived, the woman at the front desk told us that she had to split us up into different rooms and have the service 15 min apart. We were like «OK» but admittedly, talked among ourselves and were a bit confused because Wendy had confirmed the reservation as a group of 6 twice. We were not disrespectful or upset, just legitimately confused as to how this happened. I questioned the lady and tried to understand what happened but she didn’t really understand me. So we were like, «OK, cool. Whatever, let’s just do this.»
When I got my massage, off the bat, the guy was doing some weird moves I had not experienced before and some were painful. Overall, I thought, «Oh, he is just a little stronger. No biggie.» However, there were some moves near the last 15 minutes when I seriously thought he was doing it on purpose to be rude. I actually, at one moment, got kinda nervous –you know, you are in that position that you don’t want to be «that guy» and complain and embarrass your friends, but I felt like getting up and walking out. –I was that taken aback! He pushed so hard on my back that my neck was going into that little hole and pressing and I felt like I was being choked. Another move he lifting my upper body off the bench but it strained my back. At that point, I was like (to myself) «Please let this be over as soon as possible.» I have never had such thoughts during a massage!
Seriously, I was really freaked out, but tried to be cool with my friends there. Admittedly, we had a good laugh about it afterward and I did tip to not cause any drama. I was even further freaked out when I was super sore for about 2 days afterward.
If you look at my reviews, I go to a lot of massage places. I like a deep tissue massage but can tell the difference between a professional deep tissue massage that is therapeutic and leaves soreness and what I experienced here. This guy was either untrained /​certified or was super unethical in what he did to me.
I really couldn’t help but think it was on purpose –some weird retaliation based on the perception that we were «difficult» or complaining. I have to say, I did get some solace reading other Unilocal reviews, knowing that I wasn’t «crazy» or experienced something unique –there seems to be a lot of shady behavior at this place regarding overall service, rough massages and even tipping expectations.
Buyer beware –there are other places you can go for a decent, cheap massage and not get beat up like I did (check my other reviews for recommendations)! I will NEVER return to this establishment. I am very grateful that I was not seriously injured. I am also ashamed of myself for not getting up and raising a stink –if I ever get treated like that again in any establishment, I am literally standing up and making it known and making a huge complaint. No one should experience that kind of unprofessional service. I’m actually kind of freaked out to go get another massage now because of this experience. I fear many of these places lack the proper authentic licences and certifications.

A full body massage for $ 28?! What?! Yes.
I went to a place like this before, but this one is way nicer. You are still in a room with other people, but 4 max. They have a few rooms to go in. You don’t even really notice that other people are there because it is so quiet and everyone is doing their own thing. They have nice comfy chairs, dim lighting, and relaxing music in the background,
The masseuse that I had was awesome — it was like a deep tissue massage over the clothes. For an hour, $ 28 is a steal. Th lady at the front told me to make a reservation because they get busy.
Amazing massage for a cheap, cheap price. You can’t beat it!

I’ve been to a couple of these «foot spas» before, so I knew what to expect.
1. Expect that you will be on a reclining-​like chair in room with other people (fully clothed, duh!), Just remove all your jewellery and roll up your pant legs. It helps when you are wearing thin and loose fitting clothes.
2. Expect your REFLEXOLOGY massage to be like the «deep tissue» type. These are not your «touchy feely» kind of massages. If you expect the swedish type –move along! The fu-​fu spa is that way!
3. You will be laying down on those reclined chairs while they will soak your feet in a bucket of warm water. They will then massage your face, head, ears, neck shoulders and arms. Once they are done with that, they will massage your feet and legs. After that, they will ask you to flip over so they can work on your lower and upper back.
4. Expect a language barrier. All of the workers there are Asians. They speak english, but very basic. So point to the area where you are have trouble spots. Now, if you have a Bachelor Degree in Pantomime, then you are solid!
Okay, now for the review:
1. CALLING FOR APPOINTMENT — Good Luck! They barely answer the phone. I think the majority of their clients are walk-​ins.
2. THE MASSEUSE /​MASSEUR — I workout 6 times a week, so my muscles can get really rigid and stiff. So, I always ask for a male masseur. They really dig in there.
How do I know they know what they are doing? Well, a couple of times I didn’t tell them where my troubled spots were, but within a few minutes of touching the area, they knew where to concentrate on. And they are good at it too! They would not stop until that muscle was tenderized. LOL.
One time I was so stiff the poor guy had to use his whole body weight for pressure to loosen my muscles up. By the 45^th minute, he was sweating. I made him work for his money that day. I felt bad for him after that, I had to give him a big tip. LOL.
3. THE RECEPTIONIST — That lady needs to smile! Like, seriously!
4. THE ROOM — The place is dimly lit with some music playing sofly, so everyone can relax. BUt… you can tell the place is getting a little worn out. I’m sure it used to be a nice place when it first opened, but you can tell it’s showing signs of ageing. I’ve noticed one of the chair’s leather upholstery was getting worn off. Aside from that, it is a 4 out of 5 in my cleanliness scale.
5. PAYING — They do accept major credits. You can also put the tip in your credit card. So HURRAY ‘MURICA! Tip accordingly! 20−25% is ussaly acceptable, go higher if you think they did a bang up job. But try to AT LEAST give 20%. I mean These guys/​gals just manually tenderized you whole body using nothing but their hands for Pete’s sake! Don’t be a cheap a** !!!
OVERALL: I would come back here again! $ 28 to help make my muscle pain go away. That seems like a good deal to me.

For $ 28 you can complain! My husband and I love it so much we brought all our office guys back the next day for round two. It is a little slice of heaven.
To be fair this is the first foot spa we have ever gone too. We loved the experience. I do have to say on a small woman you should ask them to take it easy. I am pretty soar today.

It’s a pretty nice massage from head to toe but be aware of a few things.
#1. depending on the mood of the Chinese counter lady, they force you to tip a minimum amount of like 12 dollars.
#2. you will be getting a massage in a public massage room with other people.
#3. if you’re looking for a deep penetrating massage that can get in deep to your muscles, the hefty guy there is pretty good with that, but he is known to pass gas out his mouth and arse. Hiccuping, burping, and farting the two times I’ve had him. I got a couples massage here once and although I don’t know Chinese, I think he was bragging that he farted to a female masseuse working on my wife.
…
man masseuse proceeds to let out a high pitched burst fart
after 3 second delay, man masseuse chuckles under his breath and quickly says something in Chinese
woman masseuse laughs and says responds with something in Chinese
man masseuse responds by more chuckling.
…
altogether, a great hour of relaxation for you and the masseuse!

After a long flight, a long day at work and a kink in my neck I took on to Unilocal to find a massage place by my hotel, I came across Foot Finesse and not being familiar with this type of establishment I thought $ 28 was too good to pass up.
Well, It’s an ok deal, I didn’t have to wait and they promptly showed me to a dimly lit open room with a few other beds and other people getting massaged. I had a male masseur who was pleasant. This is a fully clothed body massage, some parts were just ok some parts were uncomfortable and not effective at all, it was somewhat rough, there wasn’t much kneading, and most of it felt abrupt with some hitting and light pounding rather than massaging, the foot massage was good, but I could have totally passed on the body massage part. I like firm hard deep massages where knots are worked out even if it hurts, but the technique here was just hitting or shiatsu style firm with out having any rhythm or technique.
I thought it was a bit add that they brought a bucket with hot water and a trash bag for me to dip my feet in while I was having the body massage part, the presentation wasn’t appealing, but I guess that’s what you get for $ 28 bucks. Also, I wasn’t thrilled with putting my face into the opening of the chair once I was flipped over even though there was a towel put down around the opening, I just didn’t feel it was very sanitary. Personally, I wouldn’t go again. It wasn’t as relaxing as I had hoped, they didn’t work my neck like it needed.
When I am getting a so called massage and I am thinking of other things I would much rather be doing, well, then, that pretty much sums it up.

Today was kinda stressful. I went bra shopping. Always bad news.
I would ballpark that I tried on somewhere around 893,823,893,451 bras today. Of those gazillion bras, two fit, and only one was actually comfortable… it was also hideous. Kind of looks like I fashioned an old Ace Bandage around my boobs, but I don’t care. It was comfortable and I’m not in the market to impress anyone with undergarments, plus I was exhausted and worn down from my body being rejected by every brand of boulder-​holder in existence and in dire need of some deep healing via deep tissue massage.
It’s been about 5 years since I had a massage and the last time I went, the place I’d patronized was definitely a rub & tug kind of place, though I didn’t know that at the time. I mean, I had my suspicions after my one and only visit and seeing the rest of the clientele, but those suspicions were confirmed when they got shut down officially.
Foot Finesse is def WAY more a official and not shady in the least. Totally legit place to get a full body, fully-​clothed massage and at the rate of $ 28 an hour at that. That’s less than 47 cents a minute for all you math-​letes out there. Quite the deal and shockingly, a luxury that fits in my itty bitty budget.
The waiting room and the massage rooms aren’t ‘luxurious’ and this is no way a spa-​level pampering, but it’s nice enough, especially for $ 28 and as much I tried to resist, I did get comfortable right before my hour was up. You’ll be in one of their large, dimly-​lit rooms and there will be other people getting massages around you, but you’ll be surprised just how quickly you’ll tune the rest out. You’ll be able able to hear some pounding from other people’s massages, but I kind of liked it. It was like the anticipation when you go up an incline on a roller coaster and you know the fun drop is coming up. Also worth noting is that they have both female and male masseuses. I would have preferred a female, but the guy I got was fine too. I hate being touched by men and women equally, but my desire for a good-​olé fashioned Asian muscle beating was stronger than my dislike for being touched, so I went with it. Worth it.
At first, it felt torturous to be away from my phone… which was only about 3 feet from my head with the rest of my stuff on a coffee table, but I still found myself involuntarily grasping my right hand in it’s absence. It must have been YEARS since the last time I was awake and did not have a glowing screen in front of my face or at my fingertips and I know I should feel a bit of freedom being away from that, but to me, that felt like prison until about 55 minutes in and then it was all over. if they weren’t going to close in 30 minutes, I’d have gone double or nothing for a second hour.
The second hardest thing besides not having my phone, was being quiet. VERY hard for me, especially in a setting where someone’s basically playing my butt like bongos. How do you not make a joke? HOW? Don’t answer that, it’s only get you in trouble. Non-​essential talking is pretty much forbidden, as it should be, but I had a hard time with that. A way harder time than I should have. Something is definitely wrong with me.
First you soak your feet in warm water (it’s a bucket with a big plastic bag filled with water… you’re not going to feel like a princess, but again: It’s $ 28. I’m cool with the bucket for that price.) Then your masseuse will start on your head and face with lotion. If you have your hair done and/​or makeup on, you’ll have thrown it all out the window. You’ll leave with your hair wildly out of place and your makeup all over your face.
Here’s a pic of me after it was all over:
Happy as a god-​damned clam, but not fit for the public’s eye.
I’d read a few of the other reviews so I was ready to get beat up. I have a high pain tolerance. This one time, I got a really gnarly paper cut — only took one Garfield Band-​Aid, a few tears, and a kiss from my mommy and I was practically healed. For my massage, I definitely felt like it could have been a lot rougher. I was thinking that maybe because I got a bigger guy, maybe he was being gentle and delicate? The next time I go, I’ll be sure to make an appointment and request the meanest girl they’ve got to lay into me.
I was a big fan of when the guy did this lobster claw type massage like he was doing large pinching motions around my ears. It was weird, kinda quirky, super unexpected and probably my favorite part besides when he was doing this hard press near or around the ball of my foot. When I checked out, I looked up that healing spot on their foot chart and that area is supposedly connected to your «gonads». Go figure.
I can’t wait to go back. I honestly might go back again tomorrow. For $ 28 + tip, I’d be stupid not to.
Last note: Tip well. They rub down your lived-​in body for an entire hour in silence. Anything less than $ 7 es no bueno.
