Melissa M. Annis Massage and Waxing Services

Melissa is amazing!
I have chronic muscle issues and she knows just how to get those tough knots out. She is friendly and very professional. love it!

Melissa was fantastic! She gave probably the best massage I’ve had compared to Burke Williams and Glenn Ivy. I will definitely go back!

She is awesome. Very strong and works out all the kinks a massage with her after a work out is the best!

Great massage. Deep tissue, good strength, yet relaxing. Rare to find a masseuse that actually listens to where you need work & focuses on those spots. Location has good parking, quaint office, clean sheets, relaxing music, good atmosphere. Price is very reasonable.

I found Melissa’s massage studio through Groupon and decided to check her out. Her studio is very clean and serene with plenty of street parking in a non-​condensed area of Manhattan Beach. I’ve tried many Groupon massage deals and they usually end with either mediocre service, hidden fees, and/​or a desperate sales plea for additional pre-​paid services. I felt that Melissa did a great job of keeping me informed of her promotions without cornering me into an awkward confrontation.
Onto the massage: Probably the best I’ve had, and I’ve tried many in the LA area. At one point she climbed onto my back and used some of her body weight to dig deep into some of my trouble areas. She was also considerate of her applied pressure levels and made sure I was not experiencing any unnecessary pain.
Throughout, I found Melissa’s services to be very professional, straightforward with no hidden fees, and effective. While there are certainly cheaper massage services around, I’ve found that you get what you pay for and Melissa’s services are worth every penny.

Melissa is sublime perfection. Her studio is located in a quiet plaza in MB and is quite peaceful. She has been taking good care of my back for a few months now and I have never had to ask her to adjust the pressure — she seems to know instinctively exactly the right pressure to use. She always has a smile on her face and makes you feel very comfortable on her table. Melissa is a keeper!

Great little spot that instantly relaxes you. Melissa is a wonderful massage therapist and I always leave feeling much better.

Melissa was great! Soft hands and good strength. I left feeling relaxed but also rejuvenated. I’ll be back to see her very soon.

Melissa is an awesome massage therapist!!! She knows right where the pain is and makes the massage very comfortable so you can relax and enjoy!!! I would recommend her to all and I have to my friends!

I’ve visited Melissa a couple times now and she has been amazing with every massage!
She is very friendly and professional and doesn’t rush the massage at all. You definitely feel very relaxed and comfortable in her hands.
The location is also very clean and convenient. Highly recommended!

I haven’t had time to write a review until now. I had a massage because I just moved to Cali from NYC. You can imagine the state of my muscles – yup you guessed it, in very bad need of a massage to uncoil my tight muscle fibers! I looked up many massage places and I saw the review for Melissa and decided to go with her.
let me tell you. I am so happy I booked an appt with Melissa! She is awesome, personable and really listened to my pain spots and really worked on them! I definitely need to go back very soon as my work is starting to eat at my muscles yet again!
Everyone should stop searching and book an appt with Melissa!

Melissa is as goods as it gets! I have been looking for someone that does a great deep tissue massage. I saw all her high ratings on Unilocal,so I decided to give her a try! She exceeded all of my expectations and I can’t wait to go back and get another massage. Thanks Again!

I am a fitness competitor and have been seeing Melissa for all of my deep tissue massages for years. Melissa is such a sweetie and makes you feel completely comfortable. She has very affordable prices… Easy parking… and a quiet serine atmosphere that is perfect for a relaxing service. No doubt… you will leave feeling relaxed and happy.

Melissa is awesome!
I am truly satisfied with my one hour massage. Melissa definitely knows what she is doing. I’ve had other massages, and they were good, but this one was above average.
Melissa jumped right in and found those tense spots. She applied just the right amount of pressure and just the right amount of relaxing touch when needed. From start to finish, Melissa created a soothing and welcoming feeling.
About the location/​space: conveniently located with a private parking lot. The entire space feel light and free. The massage room had a peaceful energy and the overall layout felt very intentional — peaceful music, décor, scent, etc.
I think I have found a permanent spot!

Let me put the experience with Melissa in perspective.
Melissa starts with dissolving the tension on the side of your head, starting just to the side of your eyebrow with a gentle yet strong stretch to quell your mind.
Once your mind is at rest, it’s your body doing all the singing now. It feels like waves are going across your body; never too fast to appear sloppy and never too slow to appear weak. And I must say, she’s pretty strong if you ask her to be.
Melissa has a rare talent in my opinion — she can easily read your body’s language and adjust her tempo and technique accordingly.
The only problem I have with Melissa, is that 90 minutes is too short.

Not to sound like a broken record but Melissa is AMAZING! I purchased a massage for my Mom’s surprise 60^th birthday weekend. She was going to be out of town on my Mom’s actual birthday but Melissa did everything to make sure we had a very convenient date and time. She was super flexible and very responsive!
When My mom came out of her massage she said it was THEE BEST massage she had ever experienced. And this is coming from a woman who is very particular and had a masseuse she went to for YEARS in our home town. My mom calls her a little «power house» because of how strong she is!
Needless to say we will be returning for her services and you won’t be disappointed one bit if you choose to book an appointment with her.
In a nut shell Melissa is professional, kind, and extremely skilled at what she does!

I took my wife to Melissa for Valentine’s Day massages. We each got 90 minutes of deep tissue, and I can fully concur with all of the positive reviews here. Melissa has terrific strength, but with the proper technique, so you end up avoiding painful resistance to the massage. She puts pressure directly on knots, and works them through.
A thoroughly enjoyable and therapeutic experience for both of us!

OMG the best birthday massage ever! Well it was actually my first full body massage ever :-) I was pleasantly surprised at Melissa’s strength from such a petite frame. I’m kind of a wuss when it comes to deep tissue but she listened. She was strong yet gentle. I would definitely be seeing her again!

I decided to go see Melissa after reading all of her great reviews. I had only had one massage in the past, but I was in a lot of pain and thought this would be a great thing to try out. It was an awesome decision! Melissa made me feel very comfortable and I’ve felt great ever since! I’ll be coming back to see Melissa for a massage again for sure!

I would highly recommend Booking an appointment and see for yourself, very professional.
