Bare Foot Massage

Pierre was amazing. Would love to know where he’s at during the renovation of barefoot massage. I would follow him. He’s that good. I was there in November last year and was so disappointed to hear there closed.

Is’ great !!!

I want cum back please sooooooon!

During a recent stay at the Aqua Waikiki Wave, my fiancé and I wanted to get a foot massage before dinner. I wanted to go to Kenko Sokushin across the street (which I have had amazing foot reflexology and massages from before), but the lazy in me won and reasoned that Bare Foot Massage was right there in our hotel lobby!
How could we go wrong with this place? We could be seen right away, it was only $ 35 for a half an hour and the spa was clean and pretty trending looking.
Boy were we wrong! First off, the massage therapist there was solo so we had to go one at a time. She didn’t introduce herself and seemed either intoxicated from what was in her Jamba juice cup or was high on something, Secondly, even though I kept on asking for more pressure in my arches, the only response I got was «yea, yay, yay, ya, ya,» and no change in pressure. My dog, licking my feet is more pressure that what she gave to me.
Everytime I felt hopeful that I would feel some release in tension in my feet a potential customer came in asking about services, and she stopped working on me to tell them she wasn’t taking any more appointments that evening.
I guess the only thing that went well was that she took an hour on me, but I would have rather used that time to have a drink in a bar somewhere.
This experience was like nails on a chalk board and the lazy in me has learned its lesson to get to a place that actually does of what they advertise they do!

Glad I found this one on Unilocal. I got the foot massage and Pierre was awesome. It was the best foot massage I ever had. Good job Pierre!

I had developed very tense neck and shoulders prior to coming to Hawaii, so when I checked into Waikiki Wave and saw this place in the lobby, I gave it a try. I didn’t catch the woman’s name, but it wasn’t Esther. I could tell she didn’t know what she was doing as soon as she started. I didn’t expect a licensed massage therapist at this price, but I expected someone who at least knew what she was doing. I’ve had great massages at Asian massage places where the staff aren’t licensed therapists but are definitely experts. This woman had no idea how to give a proper massage. I was sore for days after my «massage,» and not in a good way. As soon as I got home I rushed to my regular Asian place, and they fixed me in an hour.

Johnny is very nice and of course professonal.
My wife enjoyed whole time!
Next time is my turn!

My husband and I went to Barefoot Massage for our last night in Waikiki. This was the worst foot massage ever. I told my husband after we left, that he’s given me better foot massages than what I received. We paid for 30 min, but I think it was really 10 min of actual massaging. If my therapist kept her hands on my foot instead of talking with her hands, I think it would have actually been a decent massage. I would never come back here!

My hubby and I went here before our evening flight. Barefoot was able to take us early and I very much appreciate that. Rowena massaged my hubby’s feet and Josh did mine. I do not have any complaints about Josh. However, I think Rowena was rushed and I noticed she wasn’t really going through the reflexology points. I watched Josh next to Rowena. Josh was meticulous and took his time. Rowena just «mammy pammied» through the massage. While I really enjoyed my service my hubby left feeling like it was a waste of money. I suggest requesting Josh. Josh gets 5 stars Rowena 2. Avg. of three.

I was desperate for a good foot rub.
Here’s the Plus: took us with out having appointments. Cons: never found a good massage here. The masseur acted annoyed to be there and wasn’t personable at all. I felt uncomfortable being there and wished I had saved my money and waited for an appointment at Oasis. I don’t know about the other therapists here but the one we had.2 stars (generous)

While on holiday in Hawaii i had a massage at Bare Foot and the experience was very pleasant. The staff are super friendly and highly professional. I got a nice soothing back massage from Esther, which after a day of walking all over Waikiki I badly needed. The cost was very reasonable and the walk-​in service was super convenient.
Though I normally get deep tissue sports massages from my trainer back home, Esther dialed in exactly the amount of pressure I wanted after a brief consultation and she regularly checked-​in with me if the pressure was just right. I truly appreciated her professionalism and attention to detail.
The only complaint I have about my experience has nothing to do with Bare Foot, but the stupid noisy bar on the other side of the hotel wall was playing live music so loud that it radiated throughout the hotel. So listening to soothing, relaxing chill music during my massage was made impossible because of this noise.
I highly recommend Bare Foot.

In January I was on Oahu for vacation, I had the pleasure of receiving a full body massage from Esther with Bare Foot Massage. I have to be particular about the massages I receive as I was in a serious rear end auto accident in October of 2013. Esther was very attentive to my needs and ensured I was completed comfortable the entire time. Her laid back, caring personality helped put me at ease while seeing a new person for a required therapy.
Bare foot massage is a lovely little place located in the lobby of a hotel in Waikiki. The hotel itself has sentimental value to me as my grandfather and grand uncle were involved in the construction in the 1960s which was why I stopped by and found Bare Foot Massage.
I also had the opportunity to meet Christine, another massage therapist with Bare Foot, and found her to also be very pleasant. I recommend Esther with Bare Foot Massage for a full body any day of the week.

This is hands down the worst foot massage I have ever had. My cousin and I went and she insisted that I mention that Johnny was wonderful but my masseuse Esther was beyond unprofessional.
She was friendly, chatty and appeared really really really stoned. Stoners are cool and nice to chat with but as a masseuse, stoned or not the hands should never take off the customer. It was not acceptable that her hands were waving in the air and gesturing 10 mins out of the 30 mins session.
When Johnny diligently worked on my cousin I couldn’t help but notice the drastic difference between the two. For the first five minutes she barely touched my right foot. And when I told her that she could go as hard as she could, all she was able to do was a posturing pressure for a brief second. I was sure that my grandma at age of 80 could have pressured me harder. After a second time I told her that she could go harder, It became obvious that I was wasting my time. She could not stop chatting.
I just came back from a horseback riding and with the expectation of feeling relaxed and feeling happy, I was chatting with her before the session started. But as it became clear to me that she was more interested to just chat than doing what I was paying her to do, I had to resort to chatting with my cousin in Chinese and seized making all eye contact to make her focus on my left foot. And yes she did stop talking and started massaging but if I had a strength meter she was about at a 4. And it was stressful that I could sense her eyes looking at us often to see if she could jump back in the conversation.
It was funny that she mentioned she was going harder sometimes but stayed soft «purposely». It was not considered a intentional soft massage if all she could possibly do was a soft massage. There was no pathway or methodology at all. So it just felt like a random mush.
Although it was cheap but I have gotten 15 dollars per 45 minutes foot «massage» in Los Angeles Chinese areas that delivered twice the result from some 50 year old middle aged aunties.
It was probably more infuriating for me since I got my massage at shiatsu massage center yesterday. Yes it was ¹⁄₃ of the price but I got probably ¹⁄₂₀^th of the satisfaction. I could not believe I wasted 33 dollars on this crap. If I got a pot browny out of this it would have been totally worth it. But no at the end of the freaking rainbow there was no pot of a browny gold.
The 5 star review really pulled me in but maybe because i just got a bad service but hey here is your average rating of this place now.

Disappointing. LMT out of it, literally. $ 70 and a sore calf the next AM. This gal could potentially really hurt someone. I have rec’d many massages and various treatments over the years, save yourself from some bruising and $, there are plenty of other choices/​options available in the area.

My husband and I just had the most relaxing foot massages. What a wonderful way to relax without having to strip down. Ten minute soak and twenty minute massage for $ 28. Worth every cent.

Amazing foot massages to be had after all day of walking, exploring Waikiki. This was just a block away from our hotel. I have had foot massages two times at this place and it has been amazing. It is hard to describe how awesome this place is. Be warned, it is pricey. 30 dollars plus tax for a 30 minute foot massage. But it is worth it for your tired feet. The second time I had a foot massage, my friend was seated next to me, also getting a foot massage. She had fallen asleep and I heard her moan once. She was embarrassed later when I told her that she had moaned. I found it funny.

I was in Waikiki for a few days and desperately needed a good foot massage. I stumbled upon this place on Unilocal and got a great, thorough relaxing massage from Kristin (?). She had a gentle yet strong touch. She used long massaging strokes or concentrated on a few choice areas. Even though this tiny spa (3 – 4 chairs + 1 massage table) is located on the first floor of a hotel and the doors/​windows are see-​through, it was pretty relaxing. If you close your eyes and just listen to the soothing music coming through their ipod/​stereo, you can forget that you’re in the middle of busy Honolulu.
The down side was the price — about $ 29 for a ½ hour foot massage. I guess I’m just used to the $ 19.95 to $ 25 1-​hour foot massages here in LA. But I get it, it’s Hawaii.

Christine is amazing. She deserves her own statue. Long story short, I was wasted in Hollywood about a month ago, and I kicked a wall… really hard. I fucked up my foot. So, I could barely walk when I hobbled into Bare Foot Massage a couple weeks ago.
I left Bare Foot Massage feeling like a newborn baby. I felt like I swallowed a handful of Xanax or like I was walking on a cloud or like my feet were made of MDMA. SOOO relaxed. Crazy that a human being could make me go from a state of not being able to walk to being extremely comfortable on my feet.
Christine definitely made my vacation. Obv going back next time I’m in Waikiki. MAHALO!

First time I’d tried a LomiLomi massage. WOW! It’s like my usual relaxation massage but with so many different other styles thrown in there. I could have had an all day massage and didn’t want it to end.
I think it was Jessica?.. that I got the massage from and was very friendly. Great conversationalist and was very informative of massage in the Hawaiin culture. Really enjoyed my experience there and would definitely recommend it!

We came back to stay at the Aqua Wave in Waikiki and so I made a point to go back to Bare Foot Massage too for a relaxing foot massage — awww, loved it! Masseuse Pierre is really friendly, gave a nice firm, relaxing foot massage and was so nice to talk to! I will definitely be back during my next trip to Waikiki. Mahalo!

Jessica was fabulous! I started off with a 30min foot/​leg massage. Then I was convinced to do the back/​neck massage for 40mins. I really didn’t need much convincing though. haha. I’ve been needing a massage for awhile. It’s a small, quaint spot tucked away in the lobby area of the aqua waikiki wave hotel. you get one on one attention because there’s only 1 worker. they’ll shut the glass doors so there are no interruptions during your session.
Pricing is very attractive, especially since this is in the middle of waikiki. and if you’re a hotel guest, pricing is even better. I ended up paying $ 75 (tax & tip included) for about 70mins of massage time.
The only thing that kind of bothered me… music was a bit too loud. I guess it has to be in order to drown out the busyness of the Waikiki streets.
