Anthony’s Med Spa

When it comes to massage businesses, the San Gabriel Valley provides multiple choices ranging from $ 20-​$ 100. Over the course of 10 years, I’ve tried several locations, but I’ve come out with pain and injuries primarily because the inexperience of the «therapist.» Time and time again, I return to Anthony’s Mediterranean Spa because of its friendly service, good massages, and overall consistency. I highly recommend getting the 90 minute massage or the 90 minute facial. It’s worth every penny.

Still a Great Massage.
Unfortunately, they are down to one room so it helps to make an appointment. Best massage and Best Value.

The facility is cozy and the workers were nice however I DO NOT recommend coming here if you’re pregnant. I came in today with my boyfriend and while he came out relaxed and happy (the reason I gave 3 stars and not 1) I was beyond frustrated. The lady giving me a massage was scared to touch me at all because I was pregnant even when I asked her to use more pressure to work out the sore spots in my back. She literally caressed me for an hour and rubbed oil on me. I had chills because it felt like she was tickling me. If you’re just getting a normal massage I’m sure you’ll be fine but for my fellow pregos, pay the extra $ 20 and go somewhere that specializes in prenatal massages. They said they could do it but they definitely could not.

Very welcoming staff! Came here for a full body hour massage, didn’t expect a lot just hoped for a decent massage since I’ve had bad experiences prior to this place at other places! Ivy was awesome, my knots are completely gone!

The times I went, the owner was really nice and the massage therapists did a great job. It is a good deal for a really relaxing massage. It is also very peaceful in there as well. So, I would love to come back soon!

Love love the facials here. Esthetician caters to your personal needs and is amazing with extractions. You can tell she has been doing this for some time. Her skin is gorgeous, that alone says a lot. A facial massage you will not soon forget.

This place offers a good massage for $ 40/​hr. (They also have 30 and 90 min packages.) I have come here a few times and left satisfied ALMOST every time. For the most part, they just do one type of massage. Not really sure what to call it, it’s somewhere between what your husband would give you at home and what you’d get at a legit massage parlor. If you are looking for something specific (Swedish, shiatsu, hot stone, etc…) or a pair of really professional hands, probably best to go somewhere else.
WARNING: there is one masseuse who doesn’t use a sheet for the first half of your massage. If you are not comfortable with lying butt naked while she rubs you down, you better say something when you get there!
Otherwise, their space is clean and well maintained, the people are friendly, and you can’t beat the prices. If you’re feeling a little stressed out or your body just isn’t what it used to be, I would recommend you stop on in for a quick rub down!

This place is terrible. Beware. I was badly injured by a lady that told me she could do Thai Massage. She did not have a clue, and I did not know what to do either after I already paid. I was badly injured by this incident. They will say anything to get your money.

I came here for my first facial ever so I didn’t know what to expect or what was considered a good facial. The service was good and Agnes did a good job. After years of getting facials from other places I probably wouldn’t come back here because I didn’t see as good results from other places I’ve tried

A Facial is what I went for. They offer 3 kinds and range from $ 20 to $ 60 30 min to 90 min. I find the 90 min facial is the best. Ivy is the only woman to see there. she comes from china and speaks ok english. Ivy worked in the massage field for many years so your in for a real treat as she works on your face neck and shoulders. very enjoyable. Her space is very comfortable charming. the products she uses are the high quality. and I always look 10 years younger when I walk out the door.

Came here with a friend a while ago. It was sometime this year, but I completely forgot about this place, because that’s how much I didn’t like this place.
So basically my friend wanted to get facials done, and I’ve never been there before. We were recommended by a friend that this place was pretty good. So of course my friend who by the way has been there before, like maybe once or twice, decided I should come here too.
Anyway, so it takes like 15 to 20 minutes before the lady is ready to do my facial, and then afterwards, I go into the room, which is near the front of the store.
The lady there starts zapping my face with strange instruments, which scare the crap out of me, because I don’t know what she’s doing to my face, because I closed my eyes.
After the facial, I have to wait for my friend to get her facial done, which takes 30 minutes, or so. And then after that, when we were paying, I only gave a $ 2 tip, because I wasn’t sure how much money I was suppose to tip, and the guy at the front, gives me an annoyed look, like, «Your suppose to tip more.»
How rude. I’m probably not coming back here again. I’d rather go to a place near my house, which is way better, because the women there aren’t rude, and won’t treat you like crap, if you don’t tip them good.

Totally not worth the discounted price. Two of us got massages at this location, and neither of us were satisfied. My masseuse spent more time with her feet on me then her hands. We walked in with two appointments at 11:00, but they had taken a walk in at 10:55 so we had to wait for over an hour at a Starbucks down the street. The price is great, but like someone said previously: you get what you pay for.

Parking was no problem — right in the back — there is always plenty.
When I walked in, there was a very welcoming reception area with comfortable couches :-)
I’ve had a few massages and had a great experience each time. Each experience was a little different, but all were very friendly and thorough. They all asked where I need the most attention.
I’m a guy and never had a facial before, but I’m thinking about getting one to see what it’s like.
The cost is very reasonable — $ 40/​Hour.

The outside of Anthony’s Med Spa is unimpressive but the interior is decent. They have a couch area in the front and massage rooms in the back. It’s quiet, dim, and the massage ladies talk in soft voices. Instead of doors, each room is shielded by curtains and has an elevated massage table and hooks for you to hang your items. I find the soft music they play over the rooms very relaxing.
I’ve been here twice for a massage and both times were quite good. The masseuse usually asks me what area is the most sore and she concentrates most of her time on that area. You can also request the amount of pressure they use, and I always request them to press hard. I especially loved it when they stepped on my back with their feet. The part where they use hot towels to wipe off the massage oil feels really good too. I think the experience definitely varies depending on what masseuse you get and what area you ask her to focus on. $ 40 for an hour is quite a steal! Cash only.
My only gripe (and the reason about this place didn’t get four stars) is that the masseuses are too pushy about tip, on the borderline of rude. Even when I tip 18% — 20%, I often get the feeling that they’re dissatisfied. If I visit this place in the future, I will definitely bring EXACT change because sometimes, the masseuses don’t have change to give you. So calculate about how much tip you want to give ahead of time, bring exact cash, and get ready to relaaaaaax!

Facial was done by Agnes, very thorough, but no skin analysis & no pressure of any product sales pitch, worth the money for an hour.
Massage– ok, but what I didn’t like, I gave the masseuse a tip and told her to give back certain amount as I didn’t have any change. The masseuse ignored my request, and kept the entire amount. I had to leave for another appointment, no time to argue. I heard about these type of incidents with other friends, but didn’t expect here. Leave a sour taste for that incident, no more getting massage here! Now, make me think twice about getting a facial here too. Also, I don’t think the masseuse knows different type of massages, just only 1 type. I insisted on Swedish, but get more of accupressure type.
The place is quite clean compare to other massage places for the price.

I was quite pleased with getting my first facial and full body massage here. My facial was with Agnes and she did such a thorough job… totally worth the $ 38 for a full hour. I was completely relaxed after my facial and ready for my one hour massage. I was quite impressed that a petite Asian lady of 5 ft. and maybe 100 lbs. dripping wet, was able to give me such a firm massage. Give yourself a treat and go the Anthony’s for a facial and massage. Save your money and go here instead of Burke Williams… you may not get all the fancy ambiance… but you won’t have to pay $$$$ for it either!

My girlfriend and I went here one time later in the evening to get a massage. Once we were there, we were greeted by the alcohol reeking guy who seems to be the owner of the place, it seems weird to me already. But my friend insisted to go get a massage that night. we got a one hour massage there but the service was very poor … the women massaging us were talking to each other while massaging, my towel covering the massage table was damp? ewww…
and I actually felt yucky afterwards the massage which was only last 40 minutes. The massage lady even had the nerve to demand a tip. I refused and I also refuse to return…

I have been going to Anthony’s for over two years now and I really like the place. They offer massages and facials and both are great value for the money.
It never gave me the impression that it is anything other than a «legit» establishment. I wonder if «customer R» went to a completely different place.

This place is really nice :) I love the décor and the serenity of this place! I give it five stars and I am going back :)
You should visit this!

So my husband & I walked in, pretty much from seeing this place on the road. From the looks of it, it doesn’t look great on the outside, but when you walk in, it’s a different story. There’s a room w/​AC to wait in, water to drink, magazines to peruse, and comfortable leather couches. The décor was also appreciated, not tacky, but peaceful & Asian-​themed. Next time I will arrive a little early to catch up on the latest People magazines…
Now, the facial: I had Agnes for 1-​hr, and I will give her 5 stars for her facial! It was relaxing from beginning to end, and I received a great massage to go along with it (head, face, neck, back, chest). Wonderful…
My husband had the 1-​hr massage, and he gave it 3.5 stars. Says it wasn’t the best massage he’s ever had, but that it was very good. And you can’t beat the price.
My only ONE COMPLAINT is that the facial room is near the front entry, so you can hear clients talking in the waiting room. It interferes with the peaceful music and the service. My husband didn’t have this problem in the massage room, however.
Overall, I would go back for the facial again, with Agnes. Don’t let the exterior fool you, the service here was comparable to a high-​end salon in Pasadena. I will go back!
