Zen Acupressure

This place is awesome. I went for a 115– min service that included reflexology and massage. When I walked in I was pleased to find the place clean, quiet, nicely decorated with a «Zen» feel. I felt relaxed just sitting there waiting for my session to begin. The reflexology session was relaxing. The massage was delightful. The pressure was good.
One of my pet peeves when getting any kind of service done is Too.Much.Small.Talk.That said, what I especially liked about this place was that there was no to minimal chatting and it was all about the service. My masseuses used her skill to find the knots and applied the right amount of pressure to work them out. So, all I had to do was relax and let her work her magic.
The location is good and parking is validated for up to 2 hours in either of the parking garages nearby. At the end of my session they gave me a loyalty card so that my 10^th session will be free. I’ll be going back. I definitely think it’s worth it.

This place is a gem! I haven’t had a massage this wonderful in years until this past weekend when I visited Zen. As others have said, they get the knots out. It is not a spa experience … no cucumber water or robes here … but if you really want a solid massage, this is place to go. I’m sold.

OMG! Olga was amazing! When I first saw her, I said to myself, she is too tiny for the deep tissue I need for my back, boy did she shut me up. She may be tiny, but very strong. She was very skillful with my focus areas and asked all the right and quantity of questions. She provided light Reflexology (as that is another service) in the mix of the massage, so I was very grateful. I elected to walk 6 miles to this appointment and was very pleased I got serviced by Olga.
The only light downfall is that the «rooms» are separated by a wall, they are not enclosed. So you can hear other people getting serviced if they are loud. As one person chose not to utilize her silent option on her phone.
You don’t need an appointment, and from the time you walk in, you are pleasantly greeted and taken care of. Post massage, you offered a bottle of water and they don’t try to sell «would you like to make an appointment to come in?» Yet, I already knew I was making another with Olga, so after I did, I inquired about any specials such as birthdays so I could plan ahead for my annual massage, and the Manager/​Owner told me to just let anyone know when the time comes around. He then came back and asked if it was my birthday by chance, I said yes and he gave me a Gift Certificate on the spot for my next visit!
The atmosphere is full of Zen, hence the name, the interior design has tranquilly written all over it and the wishing well/​water fountain was a nice added touch.
This was a very relaxing and enjoyable visit, and it’s right behind Friendship Heights Metro. Great packages/​prices, customer service and location!

I used to visit Zen every now and again because I had another place that was a little cheaper. Well, they closed so now Zen is my regular massage relief. They do a great job, are super clean, and are worth the price because they always manage to get the kinks out. The workers are super nice, you can just walk in, and they also offer validated parking in the garage right behind them. There is also punch card for frequent visitors where you can eventually earn a free massage. As with anything, some girls are better than others but you will rarely ever walk out of there not feeling better and if you do be sure to tell the owner. He really is interested in making sure his customers are happy.

I walked out of Zen today feeling like a million bucks. Really, I felt like a million bucks because a challenging business situation became clear. The reason I think the path forward became clear was because I was finally relaxed. The clean environment, and soothing sounds of Zen blended perfectly with the skill and precision with which my masseuse applied acupressure.
The entire experience completely interrupted the stress of the week. I have since returned home and still feel the positive effects of the massage.
Clean, professional, and worth every penny.

I’m a little creeped out. I am female and prefer female massage therapists. It so happened that a male was there. I thought he was a professional. After doing a regular massage while I was on my stomach, he wiped my butt — from the lower part up my crack! He had gloves on, but that’s not a massage. He asked me to turn over, and usually I feel covered when a massage therapist asks me to do so. But the way he was holding the plastic sheet, I felt completely exposed. Even when I was lying down, whether on my back or stomach, there was not enough material. The cover was not a cloth sheet, but a small thin flimsy plastic thing. When I was on my back, after massaging my head, he uncovered my privates (and I suspect was about to massage my privates) ! Just weird — I have had a lot of massages and no one ever tried to wipe my butt or massage my privates! Also he did not speak English and I could not communicate with him. I had asked him to work on a certain area of my back only, but he did full body. He did use hot stones and warm liquid. The price was low.

Luckily, I live very close to Zen Acupressure. They are just want I need after a long week of work, or even just to get a quick massage when under time constraints. Helen is amazing. She really listens to what you need and adjusts the massage based on that. The price is right, ESPECIALLY for this area. I recommend Zen Acupressure… great customer service, great massages, and a nice, clean environment.

The best massage I have ever had (and I’ve had a lot of massages). Fantastic accupressure and hot stones. Left feeling as though I was floating on a cloud
