Jia Foot Spa

I made an appointment for Mother’s Day to treat myself about a 4 days in advance. When I arrived and tried to check in, one of the therapists came over and said sorry we’re full and told me to come back in an hour! I said I had made an appointment and he didn’t seem to care or check. He sort of apologized but it didn’t seem sincere. What’s the point of making a reservation? Also, the atmosphere didn’t seem that nice. I left and headed over to a new place called Relax Spa on Dempster. Way better looking place and they had plenty of spots open! I won’t go back to this place.

There used to be good therapists. But these 3 times brought me the mediocre ones. They did not know how to get the pressure points. I liked here because I thought they had skilled therapists. Maybe just bad luck? Price is amazing though. Hoping they get trained, then I will repeat again.

What I like are: — The price: $ 29/​hr for a whole body massage.
— The location: close to my home.
What I don’t like: — The service: I asked if I could remove my shirt, they said no. Maybe didn’t didn’t understand English.
— We tipped $ 20 for 2, because we didn’t think the service was excellent. They didn’t like it, didn’t say thank you.
— The room was bright, I didn’t get the complete relax feeling while spending time there.
I would not recommend this place to anyone, but If you want to try it out and you might like them. We didn’t.

This was not a tranquil place to have a foot massage. I was looking forward to zoning out and relaxing. That didn’t happen.
The website doesn’t say anything about needing to make an appointment but i was asked if i had one when i walked in and made to feel like a dumbass when i said no.
Like another reviewer mentioned, they didn’t honor one of the deals on their website. I wanted the 90 minutes for $ 45. He said they weren’t offering it today. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and guessed they weren’t honoring it because it was so busy and they didn’t want to tie up the space for an additional 30 minutes. I would suggest that if they are going o do that then put a disclaimer on the website that states under which circumstances that offer is not offered. If the offer is just a lie to get folks in the door then they need to take it off the website or else people are going to continue to give bad reviews in consideration of this.
The room is small and the light from the front window is poorly masked by a panel that covers one portion of the row of chairs where the customer are getting their massages. The technicians talked to each other the whole time and some were giggling.
For the first portion of the massage I was lie down on my back with my feet in a bucket. The chair was laid out flat and lacked back support. My lower back was in pain. These are horrible chairs.
My original technician backed out a quarter of the way in and then someone else took over. She was great. She really got into some tight spots and continually checked in to see of the pressure was ok. She also streched me out in some funky, but well worth it, psotions. one thing that was weird: she unhooked my bra without my permission.

What a ridiculous waste of time. They refused to honor the 90 minute deal that was advertised (with NO expiration date listed) even though I had a copy of the ad with me.
I called and made a 10:30 appointment for a 90 minute treatment. The flyer clearly stated «Clients choice of body or foot time». I wanted 60 min body and 30 min feet. We set the appointment. The next morning I had an emergency and realized I might be running a few minutes late. I called before they opened and moved the appointment to 10:45.
I arrived at 10:32. No one greeted me as they were all working, which was fine. I sat down in an uncomfortable metal folding chair next to a boom box playing loudly (making it hard to read while I waited) in the hot glaring sun. It wasn’t until 11 AM that someone came and waved me back and went to start the treatment without asking what I wanted, so I asked for 60 min body and 30 min feet. She looked very confused and went to get a price menu. I saw the special on it for 90 minutes and pointed to it. Again, she looked confused. She looked at me like I was trying to get away with something and asked another one of the employees who also looked confused. Then another employee, then who I assume to be the owner. I went back to my purse and got out the ad I received, showing the body/​feet time option. Again, I said I wanted 60 minutes on the body (table) and the rest of the time on the feet. The owner then took the price menu and pointed to a picture of feet and said the 90 minute was for feet. They were only going to do 90 minutes of foot work which is NOT what I was scheduled for and NOT what I wanted. No one was telling me what was going on and now half the place was involved in a conversation. It was extremely embarrassing and since they weren’t willing to honor the ad or my appointment after embarrassing me and making me wait 30 minutes I got up and left.
What a terrible waste of my morning. I will NEVER return

Unique set-​up. $ 29 for an hour long massage though.
It’s a large room with about 8 massage chairs. Although it’s not private it doesn’t really need to be because you keep your clothes on and everyone has a towel over their eyes for relaxation.
When you get there you are greeted with big smiles, even though not everyone speaks English. Once you lay down they bring a big bucket of tea for you to soak your feet in. Weird I know, but feels great. While your feet are soaking they start off with a head massage then move on to your arms and hands.
Eventually you get a 30 minute foot and leg massage before you turn over and they massage your neck, back and shoulders.
It’s amazing! You won’t want to leave, every muscle will be relaxed. Fair warning, chances are your hair will be a total mess from the head massage so don’t plan on going anywhere afterwards!
Call ahead to make an appointment with either Mary or Mark. I’m not the only one that has figured out they are the best so they might not be available if you just walk in.
