Zen Reflexology

I used to go to happy feet right next to this place. After I learned that tipping less than $ 10 is not allowed at happy feet, I stopped getting the regular massages. And this Zen Reflexology right next door is cheaper than happy feet with better quality massage overall compared to happy feet. I am just so happy that I discovered this place.

The massage was okay. But the chatty people who work there were impossible. My first masseuse stood there randomly rubbing my head with one hand while gesturing and chatting

So this is a kinda weird review because it’s going to require that you come to your own conclusion about visiting here. I’d just had a not-​so-​pleasant foot massage experience a week previous, and I thought I’d find a new go-​to spot. I arrived at 5, and was give my massage at 5! Fancy that!
It was very pleasant. My face is very sensitive to oils and lotions, and I usually have to shoo therapists away with their thick gloop, but in this case, I didn’t have to say a word. I don’t know if you know this, but African American women go through a lot to get their hair the way it looks, but after the sensational head rub I got, I was more than willing to accept the damage done!
Interestingly, though, as I was enjoying the bliss of the foot massage part of the experience, another disgruntled customer was raging about breaking out into hives shortly after ending his massage. The workers wouldn’t acknowledge his protestations but they did call the owner, and they promised she would take care of it. He huffed off, but sure enough, she came literally less than 10 minutes after they called.
I was happy, he was not. I’d go there again, but I bet he wouldn’t. You have to decide if you’ll go, but would be irresponsible if I didn’t report the full experience.

BED BUGS! Beware. Unprofessional staff. My husband just had a massage and came out full of bites. It’s disgusting to run a business so filthy!

The service is ok but the staff are unfriendly and unhygienic. You are oblige to give 5 $ tip even you are not satisfied with their service. I better go back to happy feet. Just tried their service and sorry to tell that i am not happy because my right shoulder hurts because of sadistic pressed. Never go back here again.

I may have gotten lucky with who I got to massage me. He did a really good job identifying the areas I needed to be worked on. Being our first time there, I was a little confused about what to do and there are communication barriers with language and their mannerisms. But overall, for the price, it was amazingly good! Well spent 15 dollars!

I am writing this review as I still wait in the here at Zen reflexology. I came here with my friend to get the hour long reflexology. We both were given a bed and she was serviced within the first 5 minutes. I however waited for over 45 minutes and no one came to massage me or speak of a delay. Then when I got up after realizing the people next to me were who arrived afterwards were being assisted. I tried talking to the «manager» and they seem to understand me just fine but as soon as they realized the nature of the concern they pretended their English isn’t very good. Very disappointed and upset with the lack of Service and any intention to help a customer. Wow!
An update— I called the phone number provided for the business and spoke to the owner who wasn’t on site. She offered a free massage. lIsa, the manager gave me the massage but it was no where even close to a reflexology massage. She was just pressing my hands and feet. Very strange and unpleasant experience overall.

I cannot believe I paid $ 20 for an incredible hour long massage. I was in total bliss. She did a great job at focusing on my tight spots and worked out a lot of my knots in my back and shoulders from swimming. If you’re in the area and have an hour to spare, do yourself the favor of going here. WORTH IT!

Coco is so good. Best $ 30 (19.99+tip) I’ve spent in a long time. So sweet and so thorough. Will be back.

I have been a regular of 30plus times at zen foot spa. I have gone and tried massages all over from valley rd to shiatsu and others and this place is great. All the guys I gotta massages are great! I wonder why they work at $ 15/​hr place lol thank god. I usually get that $ 19 one. Xin is wonderful, Jerry is fantastic but I never was disappointed by anybody. I call first to reserve my spot. Highly recommended.

Wow, I am just getting out of what was one of the best massages of my life. I cannot believe I just paid only $ 20 for an entire hour of amazing massage. I had Coco and she was perfect in every way. I cannot believe I have lived four blocks from this place for the last few years and didn’t know about it! I will definitely be back.
Note that although this says foot massage, it’s actually a full body massage (with clothes on). It is a communal room. No frills, but for the price, who cares!!!
Definitely call ahead and ask for Coco, she is magic! Make sure to tip well!

Ouch! Lisa, the therapist, had no idea how to give a massage and ended up doing more harm than good to my back and shoulders. She used a fist to push down and punch on my shoulders and back, even though this is a foot massage place. It was very painful and I could not wait to get out. She, along with the others, pretend they can’t speak English in hopes to use this to their advantage. I told her to slow down and finally stop as she was hurting me and would not adjust the presser (punching) and stop till I yelled out.
When I went to pay the $ 20 I needed change for the small tip I was going to leave. She took both $ 20 bills ($ 40) and started to walk me out. She really was going to pull this one over on me, I told her I wanted my change back, she came back with a $ 10 bill. Again I asked for my change and she came back with two $ 5 bills. During this whole experience she and other were speaking a foreign language — how rude. I finally left her $ 5 and I regret it.
There are many other foot massage places in this area, like Happy Feet, that are professional and can do this right.

WOW, $ 20 for the BEST massage I’ve ever had from a MASTER. Honestly, I was a little aphrensive because of the bad reviews but those people are just stuck up…
This is a hole in the wall massage place. Its perfect for someone whose looking for an affordable quality massage while willing to forgo the privacy and are willing to tolerate a little chatter here and there. You can request a private room. Btw, a Chinese foot reflexology massage is full body: head, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet, shoulder, back, and butt (request a female if you’re not comfortable with this, ladies). Your clothes are on. You’re always covered with a towel so no one is directly touching you. And, a towl is placed over your eyes so you don’t have to awkwardly watch someone massage you. They also push down (sometimes hard) on pressure points because reflexology uses the Chinese concepts of pressure points to relieve your muscles and get your blood flowing.
I got KEN, who is truly a MASTER. In Chinese massage culture, there is something called «feeling bones» meaning the person feels your bones and massages your problem spots based on that. Ken felt my bones !!! I came in after moving out of my apartment for days. As someone with a bad back, my right arm and lower back were hurting so much that I was taking pain killers. I mentioned my lower back did hurt. They placed a heated pad under my back and got started. The massage was moderately painful in certain areas but I knew ken was working those pressure points and fixing me. The pain was nothing compared to what he achieved deep muscle wise. And yes, they do toss your limbs to stretch it out but its part of the usual technique and highly effective. By the end, I had NO pain in any part of my body. I couldn’t stop praising Ken and would like to bring my mother (who only like massages in China) to see him. You know it’s legit when you bring your asian MOM to something!!!
In regards to what people have said about them not being licensed masseuse, you have to understand that massage in China is not taught in schools but rather studied through apprenticeships and mastered by experience. I think experience is so much more important than some crummy license by a for profit trade school. Also, a lot of these masseuse don’t speak English meaning they probably immigrated to the US and this is their livelihood. You can’t make it in a new country depending on your trade if you’re not good. Their bosses are doing them no favor by having them there.
Anyways, I just wanted to provide a honest review from a Chinese person who is familiar with foot reflexology massages. Hopefully, this helps everyone become more knowledgable about the massage and set some more clear expectations. If you’ve never gotten a Chinese foot reflexology massage, please don’t compare it to any typical massages and be open minded. Its different but they’re all taught the same technique (because it works) so they’re not just doing «weird» things for no reason.

The best $ 20 I spent last week. 5 minute head and neck massage while my feet soaked, 35 min foot rub, 20 min acupressure backside massage. Ask for Feng. No English but strong hands!

* Sneaking out of the office and making it to the car without getting caught — check.
* Picking up friends and arriving at «Happy Hour» before the lot becomes too full — check.
* Safely making it to Zen without having caused a fatality — check.
—- Out like a light before the masseur even made it to my feet — DOUBLE CHECK!
For those reading, this place is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. If ever a better massage existed — YOU WOKE UP FROM HAVING IMAGINED IT!
Zen is like the sweat shop of massage parlors and to be frank, I haven’t the vaguest clue how these guys remain consistent for 8 – 10 hours out of the day as they knead, roll, knuckle and elbow your back without having developed carpal tunnel.
There are massages offered for as little as $ 14.95/hr although I tend to spring for the 75 minute option at $ 34.95. These people remove stress like Nare removes hair! I have NEVER… repeat NEVER been disappointed and usually find myself waking up to a holistic feeling of absolute relaxation; a definite testament to their having perfected their craft.
While the establishment itself has indisputably mastered the art of reflexology down to the very arch of your foot…, you all should know in advance that they have yet to do so in English.
Do NOT expect to make appointments and actually have them be honored upon your arrival. It just ain’t happening. Upon phoning in, you’ll be advised to come on down yet at «walk in», don’t be alarmed if there’s still a 15 – 20 minute wait. Just keep an open mind, wear loose attire and prepare to «get your chill on».
Be advised however, that while tipping here within the states is considered to be customary based upon your level of satisfaction… at places like this, YOU’LL BE LUCKY IF YOU’RE NOT BOMBRUSHED for not providing a minimum of $ 5 as you attempt to exit.
Luckily though, you’ll depart feeling «50 shades of sexy» and the aforementioned won’t serve as much of a problem.

Guys hands smelled like smoke and he beat the crap out of me. 3 Times I asked him to go lighter he laughed. So frustrated. Then at end they MADE ME PAY $ 5 tip !

I came here with my friend and we got horrible massages. They were rough and my friend felt her masseuse was hurting her. They prodded and dropped our legs and arms on the table a lot.
When I went to pay, they asked how much to put on my credit card. When I told them how much, they weren’t satisfied with how much I tipped and told me that tip is $ 5. Businesses aren’t allowed to dictate how much you tip, and $ 5 tip on a bad $ 20 massage is unreasonable. Why ask how much to charge if you already know how much you want to put on my card? At that point I just wanted to leave so I let her charge $ 5 tip on my credit card. Btw there is also a $ 1 surcharge on credit cards.

Now this was quite an experience! We had a one hour long foot and body massage for $ 20. Our masseuses definitely earned every dollar as they worked every part of my body from head to toe. We walked out of there in a happy daze, with sore but relaxed bodies, and messed up hair. Lol. We will definitely be back!

I really only came in after work for a foot massage because my feet were killing me and boy oh boy i came in with a surprise!
My massage included a shoulder neck and scalp massage. I actually fell asleep and started snoring for a quick minute. LOL.
Anyway i came before 2 pm. Super quiet and relaxing!
I will definitely return!

I been coming here with my boyfriend since 2012 and this is my go to massage spot. I love the experience and how professional and phenomenal job that they have given me in the past year. I get John most of the time because he helps me with knots and cure my stress from all the tension I get from work. I now get Lisa since she is a girl and have soft hand but in the same time strong for a woman.
$ 15.00 before 2pm and $ 20.00 after that! But remember $ 20.00 you get 15 minutes extra of back massage so its still worth it.
