Relax Massage

If I could do a negative 1 star review I would. 2 of us went there today only to encounter the worst experience ever! We called in and asked if they had room for 2 people, they said yes. To make a long story short, they were short staffed and 3 people worked on my 1 hour massage!!! The lady (receptionist) started screaming in our ears as soon as someone would call. This was definitely not relaxing and changing people in mid massage is defiantly not professional. Stay away!!! Warning!

Great experience. They are pretty professional!
And I think the price is pretty reasonable. I would recommend it to my friends.

I don’t know why people are giving this place bad stars. When I walked in and saw that it didn’t look like most other foot massage places and dark small I knew it was going to be great. I know better than to judge a book by it’s cover. Now when I say I’ve been to a ton of Food massage places mean a ton. I got a full body hour massage for I think $ 60. I have also been to high end massage places and this place was by far the best. I don’t have the mans name that worked on me but I wrote it down somewhere. It was the best massage I’ve gotten anywhere. And they even used hot stones. I can’t wait to go back. And when i find this mans name I will come back and add to this!

I don’t even know how this place even has 3 stars, this place is just a hole on the wall, not up to what a spa standards should be, has a cheap motel vibe, their massage therapist don’t even speak English I was having a issue asking if you should cover With the towel or sheet the gentleman could even understand me, I felt uncomfortable I could even communicate what parts of my body they should work and where to be careful. Their tables and rooms are cheap unprofessional. Didn’t seems like a clean place, I don’t even know why this place is open unless why someone would even get a massage there! Not a good experience I walked out feeling uncomfortable.

I’m pretty sure I got bed bug bites here… I was wearing a tank top with an open back… The next day, I noticed a row of bites in my back. My husband has none (he didn’t get a massage), I don’t think this is a coincidence and definitely reporting them. I will never come back, gross. Also, I have also experienced what others have regarding the tips. I went with a friend and the woman said «just four dollars, she worked so hard.» Yeah, no. You used to be decent…

I really don’t enjoy getting bad reviews, but I just have to warn you about this place. I came in the other night because my back was killing me and asked for a chair massage. I should’ve known right off the bat that this place was not going to be great. There is a strange odor in the place as soon as you walk in the door, but I was desperate. As soon as the massage started, I saw a cockroach walk by on the floor a few feet in front of me. I alerted the masseuse and he killed it. I thought, perhaps this was a one time occurrence. As the massage continued, there were three other cockroaches coming towards me on the floor! It was so disgusting! I jumped up, paid for the massage I never received and left. As for the quick massage I did get, it was too rough and not relaxing at all.

It is really difficult to do a negative review. The usual place I go in Studio City for a foot massage was all booked at that hour and I didn’t want to wait, so I took a chance on a new place. Ok so the person who gave me the massage was actually very good and I would give her 4 out of 5 stars. she has short hair and she was very nice but the problem is the front desk. the receptionist is very rude and you can tell she doesn’t really care about her job. the place is drab. the lighting is poor it’s not a very comfortable set up. they’re not very organized and you can just tell that people are there just doing what they’re supposed to because somebody said to, not because they want to, which I can understand, having been a subordinate in many locations of work. but massage is a business where service is very important and for that reason i have to give it two stars. The owner should get a clue, do a few upgrades, get new reception people and he/​she could be making a lot of money in this town. There’s plenty of young people around looking to spend money on comfort services.

Very poor service is not a real massage place, the (therapist) are ready for everything except for a professional massage specially if you are a guy coming late at night.

The last three times I came to this place were not great. One time, I had an appointment with a friend. They started his massage and when another couple arrived a few minutes later, they started a massage on the man. The woman with him and I had to wait. After ten minutes, I left without a word.
Another time, a patron got on his cell phone and talked like he was hard of hearing — I mean LOUD. I asked him twice to lower his voice and he just ignored me, going on and on about how he was getting a massage.
Another time, one of the massagers conducted a full-​voice conversation with his client — like they were at a hair salon or something. I asked the man working on me to ask them to stop talking, but he didn’t speak English. Finally, I asked them. They were so embarrassed that they laughed. They did stop talking.
This place changes «management» a lot so it’s very disorganized. I do not recommend it — even for the low price.

I used to live in Studio City and had been a patron before, but times have changed… or I had the worst therapist they have on staff today. When I lived here, I always had a great experience, and the value can’t be beat: $ 25 for an hour that is combined Thai massage and foot massage. A few patrons are in one space being worked on together, which I don’t mind [although some might, so it’s worth a mention].
Today, I mentioned that I had burns on my right arm, and that it should not be touched. I told the receptionist, and then I told the therapist. She said she understood in English, so I know language was not a barrier.
I get a lot of massage and enjoy Thai massage and this was a very bad massage. Today, it was hot outside, and inside the owners didn’t turn on the air — which didn’t bother me, but I wasn’t the one working. No matter what the reason — a bad day, the heat, or lack of want to do the work — my massage therapist was apathetic and I could feel it in her work. The massage was half-​hearted. I was less than pleased.
Then, when she had me turn over, she was pressing me and pressed my burn. She then stood up with no transition of any kind, said «your time is up» and walked out of the room. I sat there, waiting for her to return with a cup of water — as I have experience at this establishment before, and every kind of massage establishment — and she did not come back. So, I got my things and went to the front.
The reception area is small and the receptionist was seated behind the counter, and the massage therapist was standing right by the counter. They both just stared at me.
«Who do I pay?» I asked. The receptionist mentioned I should pay her. I handed her my credit card. When I was handed the slip to sign, my massage therapist leaned in and was hovering over to see what tip I was going to leave. I typically leave 15% for any industry work, and 20% or more for an exceptional massage. I started to sign the paperwork and she leaned in, crowding me.
«I’m really uncomfortable, «I said. She stepped back and glared at me. I was inclined to leave no tip, but left $ 3 on a $ 26 massage [they charged $ 1 to run my card… which I find ridiculous] for her rudeness and for hurting my burn. She snatched the slip and immediately started talking to the receptionist, and not in English. She looked me at rolled her eyes.
I will not patron this establishment again and don’t suggest it. There is a much better establishment one block over on the corner of Ventura Place and Laurel Canyon that charges $ 35…for the $ 10 bucks more, their professionalism is worth it.
Massage is supposed to relax. I left injured and tense. Two thumbs down.

AVOID this place at all costs. Came here tonight after a stressful week, my massage lady started on me and was great, 2 minutes into her «client» walked in and she turned around and left and another woman started my massage. During my first 10 minutes of my massage the massage therapist and «the manager» would not stop talking along with another male massage therapist who would chime in occasionally. I got fed up and asked them to please not talk; and the manager told me she needs to communicate with her staff and if I’m not happy she will give me the 10’minutes I was massaged for free and I can leave. I left and will never be back. Seriously do yourself a favor and go spend your money else where.

Went yesterday to treat myself for Mother’s Day. I’ve read all the mixed reviews and decided to give it a try. All of these places seem to be hit or miss. Yesterday was a miss. The receptionist was very nice but it stopped there. The lady who gave me my massage (didn’t get her name) had no personality. As I was sitting with my feet in water, she came up and said nothing, not even a smile. When I laid back, she just threw the cloth over my eyes. She was very heavy handed and while massaging my head was scratching my scalp so hard! I love having my scalp massaged but this was extreme. They don’t ask you to remove your shirt here so it was a massage over your shirt or her trying to fit her hands under the neck line of my shirt to massage my neck and shoulders… NO BUENO. The very best thing about this massage was my feet and ankles. This was the only advantage of her heavy hands. This part felt wonderful to me. I had surgery almost 2 yrs ago for a torn ankle tendon and still have a lot of issues with pain and stiffness, so this felt awesome. In the end when I went up front to pay (and thank God it was only 20.00), I gave my massage lady her tip. She just took the money, expressionless, I even said thank you, she didn’t even crack a smile. These places really need to watch who they hire. This is an exchange of energy between you and the person massaging you. I couldn’t relax and enjoy this massage because my whole aura was closed off. I didn’t want to exchange anything with this uncaring soul who was touching me. My advice, KNOW who is going to massage you, stick with someone you like or was referred to, don’t just let random people who don’t have compassion put their hands on you. Lesson learned.

Used to love this place and previously gave it five stars but the last two times I came I had a male whose massage technique was poor, he was too rough and he kept doing the karate chop up and down my body. I thought that only happened in comedy movies. I now go to a different massage center.

Worst massage I have ever had! Ladies read! Came with two of my girlfriends and only one of us got a good massage. The men were awful! I had a tall middle aged bald guy. He was so soft I couldn’t feel his massage. So I tell him he could be a little harder. Than I felt like my muscles were getting separated. So painful! And I like a good massage no fluff. This wasn’t relaxing! He was all over the place and wasn’t consistent at all to both sides of my body. The massage on my back was so aggressive I choked three diff times so loud he actually heard me and said sorry. I felt my trachea was getting crushed.
The worst part was his hand placement. I felt like I was getting touched in appropriately. I am use to my bottom being massaged during sessions BUT this guy was holding my cheek with his fingers in my crack! He’d place his hand on my butt when he would walk around to the other side. What really got me was when he was working on my right cheek he started humping my hand… I m not kidding! I’m laying there thinking no I’m imagining this. Than I feel his shirt and jeans. Right as I realized this he stopped. Moved to the other side but didn’t do anything on the other. I questioned this but later found out it was because my other girlfriend got up half way through her massage and sat there watching to see how are massages were going. Hers was even worse! Even though this massage was only $ 25 I’m in pain the next day and had an awful experience. Worst massage iv experienced! These people do not seem to know what they are doing and are pervs!

I’ve been here before and had a great experience with a lady masseuse. This time I went with 2 girl friends and only 1 of us had a relaxing experience. The one who had a lady masseuse. Theme here?
We all got the $ 25 1 hour massage. I got a bald gentleman who was far from gentle. The massage started off ok with my headache subsiding until he got to my feet. I tried to over look the loud party in the salon next door as well as the masseuses talking to each other. What started out as a smooth rhythmic massage was now very jerky, rushed, and aggravating. I felt like he was going to knead holes into my ankles and the bottoms of my feet! Now, i have a pretty big pain tolerance but I had to pull my feet away from him multiple times. He didn’t get the message and continued on to my upper back.
The masseuse ruined the mood by getting up a couple times to do God knows what. He should have used the time to spit out the gum he was chewing into my ear for the entire massage. Again I got up and told him he was rubbing too hard. His stone like thumbs digging into my neck and shoulders.
Sadly, the massage didn’t end there, he proceeded to scratch my scalp as if shampooing, rubbing my face into the hole where it rested. He moved on to shaking my head like a maracas and started chopping. FYI, chopping or HACKING, is for the back or back of the legs! Ones head should never be HACKED. Needless to say, I felt very disrespected so I had him stop the massage 15 minutes before my hour massage was to be over.
When getting change to pay as the good patron that I am, they tried to have me give the guy a $ 5 tip for a $ 25 service! Ridiculous. I couldn’t even tell them off because no one spoke English. Won’t be coming back.

Checked out Unilocal before going. Saw great ratings! Called them and Set up an appointment for 7:30 pm on the same day. Had a great massage by Sandy and was very pleased with her technique and experience.
What put me off was:
1. When I walked in the front door, to your left is a woman sitting at a tiny little desk. I greeted her by saying I have a 7:30 reservation for a massage. The look on her face… Well, she looked puzzled! Maybe she didn’t understand me, with a frown on her face, to motioned to an employee (I guess), to take me to a massage room. Weird. The rest was good. But the lousy greeting put a damper on my mood… and 2 stars off the review.

I tried this business a second time and this time I had a much better experience! I decided to pay $ 5 and got the hot stone massage… it was very nice… great massage therapist and I was even in a private room! My favorite place is still in the OC. but if I don’t feel like driving all the way out there… this will be my LA spot
I recommend paying to get the hot stone massage… only $ 5 more than the regular and you get the private room!

I was in need of a massage and with so many places to go, i wanted to try some place new than the place I already go to. So I read the reviews on this place and they were pretty good.
I call in and make an appt at 9pm for my cousin and I. We walked in the place was clean and lights were a little bright for a massage place.
We get settled and they start massaging us, during the whole massage the people that were massaging my cousin and I were talking. I dont know about you, but when I go and get a massage, I like it to be quiet so that I can relax. Im a true believer of you get what you pay for, but I can deal with customers coming in and out making some noise here and there, but a straight out non stop conversation between the people that are working there is just straight out rude. During the massage a 3^rd employee came to join in on the conversation with the people massaging us as if it was a break room.
Im honestly one not to really complain or knit pick small things, but when you paying for a massage you want to feel relaxed. The massage itself wasnt that great either, it seemed more like a chore for the guy, he was def half ass’n it. Maybe it was because it was the end of the day and possible he was tired and wanted to go home, but i didnt enjoy the massage as much as they enjoyed chit chatting.
When it’s time to pay, I’m one to be generous with my tips when I feel they’re deserved, the massage was 25 bucks and I usually will tip min $ 10 cause i know its not an easy task, but this time i felt like i was wasting my hour and money paying to listen to them talk, not cool. I could’ve of stayed home on my massage chair watching TV. So when the lady in the front charges me, she ask if I wanted to leave tip on my credit card, I reply with yes, she then ask how much, and I reply with $ 5, she says five dollars, as if in shock! I then reply with a yes! I didnt want to make a big deal but I was going to say how rude it was for them to have a conversation if front of us while getting a massage, but I doubt she would of understood what I was trying to say. (and no its not a racist remark, im just being honest, lots of places they dont speak english too well)
Anyhow, if you enjoy listening to full on conversations while getting a massage (to which you probably dont understand what theyre saying), this place is for you!
Thank You and I wont come again!

WARNING!
Visiting this establishment can cause your body to feel like jello and cause you to gaze out into space w. a silly grin on your face.
No seriously. I came in for their $ 33/​hr full body massage. The guy was crazy strong and I freaking loved it! Face down w elbows, fingers and hot stones. Yes! More more more!
I felt bad tipping only 20% off of $ 33 so I tipped him what I would pay at a high end spa– Actually, I feel bad for anyone who has to massage me bc I dont feel pain. — I dont think everyone has to tip a lot but if you like this amazing affordable service and want it to continue, tip well!

My girlfriend and I booked an 11:30 appointment and they were ready for us upon arrival. It’s so wierd that when you walk into a quiet and relaxing place, you tone of voice just became a whisper. lol
I had a man masseuse and he was very good. His hands were warm, soothing, and at times firm. My girlfriend had a lady masseuse and she was good as well. Her only complaint was the lady stopped maybe two times to help someone that walked in. Usually, there’s always someone at the front desk. Maybe they were short staff. Forgiven!
We’ll be back, I had the $ 25./hr. Pretty awesome!
