AAA Relax Massage

For $ 25 I got a very intense chair massage for 1 hour, It felt great! Honestly, I was a little sore the next day and a half, but it was an overall pleasant experience. Best price in town and its local. Can’t beat it my fellow east siders!

I love this place. It is the best deal in town for a professional massage. I go about once a week and have yet to be disappointed. The best is the «Combo» which is a full massage followed by 30 min. foot massage. And the price is right, right, right…

Amazing fantastic massage both foot massage one hour $ 25 or 30 minute chair massage $ 25. Go today!

Three years ago, I left a five star review on Unilocal for AAA Relax Massage.
Tonight, I had my worst massage experience. I should have gotten her name.
This has been my favorite massage place for the last three years. There are now so many new masseuses there that I have no idea who I’m going to get. The quality has gone down so much and the only person there who I know will always be great is, and always has been, John.
I was just lightly touched for one hour, even though I told her I wanted a hard massage. I asked four times during my massage for her to go harder, but she didn’t. It was frustrating, creepy and I wanted to sock her to making me feel like I was getting lightly molested, which it what it felt like. Also, for a full body massage, it was the very first time that she didn’t touch my feet at all. (PS, my feet are pristine, thank you very much)
Unfortunately, I have to say that I’ve given this place too much attention lately. Though 1 in 5 massages there will still probably be great, but I’m too disheartened to take the gamble.
Come here for John, or move on.

This is the only Thai massage I’ve ever enjoyed, and by far the best I’ve ever had. I’ve tried Thai massages at other places, but always felt they were too rough and the masseuses at other places always feel disconnected from the process. But I dropped in unannounced last night, and even though they were busy they told me they would accommodate me and that they’d «take care of me.» And they really did! I’d had a really bad week and was feeling extremely stressed. I shared this with the masseuse, and she too told me «we’ll take care of you.» She seemed very in tune with my body, my muscles, and how my spirit was feeling. She used the perfect amount of pressure everywhere– I never had to give her any direction, which has never happened before at other places. It’s like she instinctively knew exactly what I needed. I felt like she was actually committed to making me feel better rather than just doing her job. She knew where to really focus her time and energy on while also being sure to address my entire body. Her name was either Lin or Lim (or something to that effect), and I highly suggest requesting her. I went to sleep really relaxed, and woke up with my lower back pain gone this morning. I live in Atwater Village and this is the 2^nd place I’ve tried, and I will definitely be back.

Support this joint! Saw the sign and dropped in: hour and a half full body massage that was fabulous (Anna). Better than most joints in The neighborhood.

Just got out of this fabulous place. I went in at 7:40pm and was out at 9:00 pm! The best massage ever… I paid $ 40 and got a full body massage, scalp massage, hands and feet… «Heaven» and he made sure to dissolve the knots in my shoulder. Plus I type a lot at work and have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, well he made these hands feel brand new! Literally a good place, professional and a real Chinese massage not that Korean Accupressure from the Swap meet (where They damn near get on top of you) TF!

I’ve been here a handful of times and have never once been disappointed. In fact, I am always left wondering why I don’t come here more often! It’s not everyday my schedule or budget permits me to a full spa day with massage appointments. But, in that case, I can rely on trusted AAA Relax Massage! I was skeptical at first when this place was recommended to me. But, on my first visit, I couldn’t believe what I had been missing out on! When you walk in it’s very quiet and dimly lit so you immediately feel relaxed. I also like the traditional music they play. I have found all the employees to be very professional, skilled, and kind. It’s quiet and soothing. They give you a listing of the services offered when you walk in and I always chose the same thing: the awesome 25 $/​60 min foot massage. Thankfully, my friend let me in on her secret. It’s only 25 $ (plus tip for the masseuse) for a 60 min foot massage (which in fact is a full body massage!!!). This has been a game changer after long and exhausting work weeks! Surprisingly, it includes much more than reflexology. It is really is an amazing deal! And, the employees are very nice. I highly recommend it & this business!

Top 3 worst table massages I’ve ever had and I’ve had many. I don’t leave reviews ever but I am so sick of shoddy service across the board in the service industry. Unilocal is it for any accountability other than complaining formally.
Let’s just say, if you are working at a place to provide a massage you should know how to give a massage in even the most basic fundamental way. The massage felt like if you put an infant in an adults body and somehow convinced it to give a massage. No flow, no rhythm, no formula. Just pain and general annoyance. This also included constant talking and bickering to another woman giving a massage to another poor patron. Not to mention leaving the room several times. I considered stopping it but I stuck it out as punishment for coming there.
Despite my efforts to help her and help specify that I wanted a massage and not a beating, it was all for naught. I said I was not thrilled by it and the response was handing me a stamp card haha.

My masseuse stopped my massage 4 times to answer the loud phone, take the payments of other guests and give information. Add week she was talking with other masseuse. Had to stop in the middle I was so miserable because of the noise and interruption. When I called later to ask if today was just an unusual day and if they plan on having the same kind of service as they used to. She could only say «no English»… same answer when I asked for a manager… so what am I supposed to do? How can I know if either or not I’ll receive the same mediocre disrespectful treatment of I decide to go again… I think people should know

$ 25 for a hour foot massage that includes a shoulder/​neck/​back rub down. You can’t beat that. The man who worked out my knots had strong hands and put me to sleep.
Buy 10 and get one free.

I went here with my friend last Saturday. The guy that massaged me was pretty rude and kept leaving the room, when he was in the room he kept huffing and puffing like he was miserable. I don’t care how much you hate your job I am paying for your service. He also was treating me like I was a full grown man. He was being way too rough. Because of his attitude I only asked him to be gentler once and he ignored me. When it was over as we where leaving the women at the counter kept haggling us to GIVE MORE TIP!!! As a customer it is my choice how much tip if any I want to give! I was really offended and will never go there again!

Told me a half an hour, I would be next, he needed to finish up with the customer he had. I went to the corner to buy water. Peeked my head into nail salon. Came back and waited. Watched as girls came over from the nail salon and got serviced ahead of me. Waited another 75 minutes and then just got so annoyed that I left. So this review is not about the services, but rather, the customer service on a walk-​in.

the one hour foot massage is beyond compare. they do shoulders, head, face, arms, feet, and a little hip loosening too. amaze-​ING. every time!

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE !!! WORST MASSAGE PARLOR IVE EVER EVER BEEN TO WORST SERVICE WORST PPL!! ok first off i came here as a gift to my friend i wanted to take her out for a massage ok first of all the people who here speak english and they are liars they pretend they cant here you how annoying is that this place reminded me of final destination 5 where the guy goes to the massage parlor and they pretend they cant here him so my friend gets a massage and they dont even massage us they start pinching areas i asked for stone massage and they dont even put it directly on me omg these people are literally RETARDED i wont even give this place 1 star

Went here with a friend who lives in the neighborhood and comes here regularly. I was visiting from out of town and have only really gotten my massages from higher end day spas or sports medicine massage therapists. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! $ 40 for one hour (half hour full body and half hour foot massage). I consider that a deal compared to what I’ve been paying elsewhere. I have atrocious posture and had had a particularly rough week traveling, but was very happy with the services. My body felt brand new when I left. The place was relatively empty and it was very easy to relax and zone out. One star off for communication barrier; we tried our best to pantomime but some things still got lost in translation. I wouldn’t use that as a reason not to go back, but if I need something more specific or more clinical done I would go elsewhere so the communication can occur more smoothly.

I’ve been here a few times, and usually have the foot massage which I’ve enjoyed and tipped for. During my last visit I decided to have the full body massage. The lady giving me the massage was not really helping me relax. It was a terrible experience. She kept leaving me to answer the phone. I believe she was one of the main managers, and I feel like they were under staffed that night and she decided to massage me, but I could really tell she wasn’t trained for it. Whenever she did hit a good spot it happened only like 3 times
When leaving to pay I was really upset I decided not to tip her. SHE STRAIGHT PULL OUT HER CALCULATOR TO SHOW ME THAT I OWE $ 5 FOR TIP. I TOLD HER THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO TIP. SHE INSISTED I COULD PAY IT WITH CASH OR CREDIT.
I WALKED OUT.
CRAZY! I won’t tip you because I didn’t like your service, it was expensive enough to sit there and wait for you to go answer the effin phone.
bitch please!
I’m not going back, customers should tip what ever they want or not tip at all!. Scandalous! First time in my life I’ve encountered such scenario.

Felt pretty violated by the overall experience here. There were clearly some unacceptable things happening in other stalls too.
I paid $ 40 for an hr long massage and I will never be back.

$ 55 for a 60min full body and 30min foot massage. Uhm, yes. Pressure is always perfect. Plus they slap and pull you in every which way.
I’m a fan. And would totally recommend this to anyone.
Minus one star only because its not super private (and you can hear the phone ringing). But if you can zen out its totally awesome!

PROS:
— Spotlessly clean.
–Massage therapist washed his hands before the massage and after. Also used rubber gloves when working on the feet.
— Good music (not totally generic spa music that you hear at other massage places).
— A large heater kept it warm and cozy throughout.
— nice ambiance, dim relaxing lighting, and crisp clean towels.
— he went for the full 60 minutes.
— free parking in lot and neighboring streets.
— punch card (if you chose to keep coming).
— they give you a small bottled water and piece of candy as you leave.
CONS
— most Chinese foot massage places work on your back for 20mins before going into a 35min foot and (face-​up) body and ending with a 5min (face down) body’s. this place did ONLY 10 mins back and the rest of the time was face up body and feet.
— not enough lotion on the body
— if they find a knot, they will not try to smooth it out, on the contrary, they will avoid it altogether; so don’t go expecting to get your tension released and your knots diminished– it won’t happen!
— barely any head/​cranial/​face massage– I’m used to coming home with super greasy hair after a good massage– after this one however, I could put on my party dress and hit the club since he barely touched my head.
— it’s $ 25 but they actually charge $ 26 (most places similar to this one are $ 19.95 and don’t charge tax, so you just leave tip) I understand that we all pay tax on everything and that’s ok, but when it comes to these services and prices are fixed I don’t like to find that I have been charged extra for something.
CONCLUSION:
I will probably keep going to the one I like in Hollywood/​Thai Town for $ 19.95. I tried this one out hoping that if it was just as good I could save myself the 10 – 15 minute drive to my usual spot since this one is so close to my house, my yoga studio and neighborhood. Unfortunately it’s more expensive for a much lesser quality of service. But I guess if you have never had a good Chinese foot massage anywhere else this place might not seem so bad. I probably won’t come back, especially with the great variety of massage places around LA at equally competitive prices offering five star service.
