Beijing Herbal Foot Spa

I adore this place for a few reasons. (1) They have great hours and you can essentially do a walk in if you are willing to wait. (2) You get a clothes on massage and foot rub for a discount compared to a real standard massage. (3) It is like grabbing a manicure at a local place, you just role in pick out your stuff (aromatherapy scents, I like lavender or rose), wait, and then get your treatment, no fuss or muss. (4) There are no frills and they really do work the kinks out even though it can be more sports massage than relaxation but its perfect for a really stressful day. Now the bad is that sometime they are a bit strong but just open your mouth and tell them softer or such and they are trained and no to lay off. I think most people go into a massage expecting a magical moment of flower smells, soft muscle rubs, and meditation chiming music but this place is way more basic but INCREDIBLY worth it. It can get a little noisy because it is walled but an open space so there are not individual rooms for each person just individual spaces. It is also dark which I love but others may not so just an FYI. I would go here every day if I worked nearby and I want to go every week but having a baby doesn’t make that accessible. So remember to tell them what your threshold for pressure points are and remind them if its too strong, but it will absolutely take those knots out. I have even done the 2 hour ones and OMG I was not wanting to leave. If they had saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools I would move in.

I don’t know why this place isn’t booked solid all the time. Way more for your money than anyplace else. This is an $ 80 massage for $ 35.

If you like your massages clothed and on the assertive… Well, aggressive side then this place is for you. While not zen like or blissful, it is immaculately clean and still a good experience — and I walked out invigorated and with most of my shoulder and neck knots gone. No small talk here, it is very quiet with the usual spa music piped in. I had a 60 minute foot reflexology with body work and got about 15 mins facial strokes and arm rubbing laying face up, 30 min footwork and the final 15 face down with intense back and butt. Don’t be surprised by light percussive hits all over and also intense pressure unless you say to ease up. Only real issue I had was my «masseuse» had smoky smelly nicotine fingers and it was very noticeable when he was rubbing my facial area. Icky. Best part was the foot massage by far, when I go back I will just get footwork done unless I have some really stubborn knots again!

I use to be a huge fan of this place, but recently it has been a little tough even for the incredibly low price you pay. The noise level has gotten to be a bit much. My mother and I went a few Saturdays ago and had the displeasure of being placed in the room closest to the door. I couldn’t focus on my massage because I was distracted by the conversations next «door» (there is no door). I heard loving advice from a mother to her teenage daughter about her crush, I heard the benefits of all of the oils, and by the end of my massage, I felt like I could tell incoming customers about the cool organic handmade oils and creams – but none of this was helpful for my massage.
The masseuses are incredible though. I’ve had the pleasure of having three different ones and each of them have the magical touch, but the noise levels have gotten to be a bit much. The first time I went, I fell in love. The second time, it was bad, but I wanted to overlook it because of how great the first time was and my massage felt great. The third time, I wish I could say the massage was great, but I was just too distracted.
I don’t think I’ll be coming back anymore since it is no longer worth the trek out to Salem, but I could just go to Chinatown for a cheap, massage.

Not impressed. First off I made an appointment here for Monday the 8^th along with another appointment for a facial a block away there after. Monday was the snow storm so while I figured I should probably call them and rescheduled, apparently nobody bothered to show up as I called several times up to the time of my appointment to reschedule. If I hadn’t decided to reschedule I probably would have been pretty damn pissed that I came in the snow only to find out that nobody bothered to show up to work. I might also want to add that my other appointment called me first thing in the morning and asked me if I would like to reschedule.
Anyways I came for a 60 min foot massage with Body works. And it was more body then feet and at that you have all your clothing on. That’s not your typical body massage. The atmosphere was cold as well as the temperature. Heated tables would have been nice. And at that the tables were very uncomfortable. My back was killing me by the end. And actually after the massage when the sheet lifted off the table the whole table had tears in the leather. Big ones. Mau key like they got these tables out of the garbage and decided to open a store.
Spoke very little English and just pointed to things. It’s also an open room so you donMt get the privacy you would normally get on a massage.
I don’t know what my gentlemen’s name was but I he was way too hard. Left black and blues all over me. Never once asked me how the pressure was likely because he didn’t speak much English and even at my wincing continued on about his buissness. First and last time I’ll use them. I typically get a massage once a month and I have never wanted so badly for one to be over!

Called 2 weeks in advance to make a reservation to have a side by side massage with my GF for A gift to her to celebrate or anniversary. Showed up and they made us wait 20 minutes which is fine. But then wanted to put us in separate rooms. Decided not to give them our business anymore even though they never messed up previously. They didn’t apologize.

Community style (I.e. keep your clothes on) and super affordable. I enjoyed my head to toe rub down immensely. Quiet space. Calming background music.
Wear leggings or lose fitting sweats with a tank top or t-​shirt.
Masseuses don’t really speak English but they sure know where those pressure points are!

I started going to Bejing when they first opened. I have been hooked ever since. Sam is my favorite. He’s not to hard but not too soft. I now live an hour and a half from the spa and still drive up just to go here. No place else compares. For 35 bucks you have to try it. You won’t be disappointed!

Have been here a number of times great direct care people management is mean feel sorry for staff using a package always satisfied and left big tips wanted to use my last of series lost my card they have no record of my series even though i brought in the old sales slip in their files unheard of when i go to e grady everything is on record very rude their loss planned yo buy a new series so dont loose your card if u buy a package here update a woman called to apologize to offer to look up but man at desk already did that too little too late

We made an appt and they were running 20 minutes late. The only enjoyable part was the foot massage. The upper body massage was a mess. No rhyme or rhythm and was painful and annoying. It was hard to breath at times with how aggressive they were. Your face is put inside a filthy hole only covered by a thin tissue paper where every other person is sticking their face — yuck!

It was my first visit this week to the spa. Loved the environment! My massage therapist was very respectful and thorough. I left feeling rejuvenated and happy! I will definitely be back!

Had an apt for 10:00 am and they opened their doors at 10:40, needless to say I was not pleased. I paid 2 dollars to park and wasted 40 min sitting there waiting for them to open. While waiting I seen many customers trying to enter only to find their doors locked. If you open at 10 then be there by 10. I will not be going back.

If you asked me two years ago, «Hey, Ellen, would you like a foot massage?» I would cringe at the thought of someone touching my feet (GROSSSSSSS — the idea, not my actual feet. Those are pretty nice, my nail lady told me I have «very straight toes», whatever that means). Despite my perfectly pedicured piggies, I hated having my feet touched at all.
Cut to Black Friday 2013 — I’m standing for 24 hours straight, running around a huge department store as the manager on duty putting out figurative and occasionally literal fires for the whole day, and my pups are barkin’. I got my first foot massage that night, and I have been hooked like a crack addict ever since.
My unquenchable thirst for nethermost nirvana has led me to some interesting places both stateside and abroad, so I have a pretty good frame of reference with which to judge Beijing Herbal Foot Spa, and I can honestly say, this place is Zhēn bang, which is Chinese for «awesome» (gotta keep the review authentic, ya know?).
Why is it so great? First of all, it’s well-​run. There is a sign in desk, they take appointments (!!), there are several different rooms, the lighting is low, the décor is peaceful, and there’s soothing music and water elements throughout to add to the ambiance. Secondly, the prices are fantastic. You’ll pay around $ 35 (not including tip) for an hour or more of foot/​body work. Lastly, and most importantly, is the quality of the service. They must go to some kind of massage muay-​thai training camp or something. Every one of the masseurs (? masseuses? massagists? therapists?) is stronger than Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox combined. Sometimes a LITTLE too hard — there was a visit where I thought I might literally be paralyzed from how hard he smashed his elbow into my L3 — but most of the time it’s just perfect and I leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready to immediately undo all of that hard work by standing on my feet for 9 hours straight in high heels at work, yippee!
Check out the great deals they have for packages — $ 175 gives you 5 hour-​long sessions PLUS a freebie, loaded onto a nice gift card that makes a great Christmas present *wink wink @ anyone buying me presents this Christmas and/​or in general*. Or come down and get your footsies fondled next to me at 2pm today because I already booked this week’s appointment. Beijing, you my BAEjing, AMIRIGHT?

I am new to the Boston area and I work about 20 miles outside the city so this place isn’t too far away from either my work or Boston… I came from LA and have been to many reflexology places. This is a pretty good one… $ ³⁵⁄₁ hour, full body massage. I had a female massage therapist and she was great… good pressure! Place was decently quiet for the most part… I might request an area away from the main door and reception area for a little less noise.
Overall, great massage and I will definitely be back!

I’ve been to «beijing» a few times and it’s one of those places that I return to for some pampering. They are always very polite and always go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Keep in mind… you are not in a private room, there is usually one other «chair/​bed» about 10 feet away that another person may be on. This doesn’t bother me at all, as the lights are very dim and soothing relaxing music plays, you forget that there is someone else there. But if you need privacy, you may need to let them know at the booking as they may have private rooms available. They do a fantastic job at such a reasonable cost: $ 35 Groupon for 1 hour massage :) Great place to go with a friend/​daughter/​spouse, for a couples treatment. Thank you Beijing for always leaving me refreshed and relaxed… see you soon…

Amazing! I recently had major surgery (1^st rib reduction, Scalene muscle removed, and lots of scar tissue removed on my nerve bundle near my neck) the reflexology and Asian Bodywork was great! It actually provided more feeling in my hand which I lost completely after surgery. It is not a rub down massage but a feel good muscle release. I highly recommend if you are the type of person with lots of knots and want them gone!

My husband and I went on a Friday afternoon after having purchased a groupon for a foot spa and body work. The décor is nice, and the facilities are clean and quiet. We were given a room with two foot baths/​reclining chairs. The men worked on our shoulders, head, hands and feet. It is a deep massage and really works out the knots. It is much more than what you would just get with a typical pedicure. After the foot spa, I received my body work in a private room. They really work your back, shoulders and legs. It was deep tissue, but still very relaxing. I left feeling very refreshed and loose It is a great deal with or without the groupon. We will definitely go back!

I’ve become a regular at Beijing Herbal Foot Spa. The staff is super nice and compared to other massage therapy spas you can’t beat the price here. Only $ 35.00 for a full one hour treatment which includes some full body work. I’ve had the foot reflexology treatment and it’s amazing. But I also come in for the TuiNa Body Works one hour massage. It’s only $ 59.00 and every massage therapist I’ve tried has been really good. Very strong hands. They get in deep with elbows and knees as well.
The prices do not include a tip for the therapist.

Such a relaxing hour of pampering and at only $ 35 — it’s a steal! These men and women are so strong. We went with a group of 4 and everyone left like a bowl of jello we were SO relaxed. I will be back for sure!

I purchased a groupon & decided to give this place a try. I figured I could afford to lose $ 35 or it could be the best money ever spent. It wasn’t either.
When you walk in the place is so tranquil, perfect music, colors, ambiance. I was shown to my room that had no wall/​door so anyone walking by could look in. A bit strange. The beds were more like incredibly comfortable chaise loungers. My masseur came in & didn’t speak a lick of English. He instead used hand gestures to direct me.
The reflexology treatment (if you can call it that was pathetic). My toddler could do a better job rubbing my feet.
The bodywork massage was very deep pressure & I felt like the people you walk by in the mall sitting on the portable massage chairs. Everything was so regimented, down to the pounding on my calves. I could hear people in the other room having the same thing done.
Be prepared that they only use towels to cover you, no warm blankets here.
I can’t say I’ll be going back. If I’m hard pressed for cash & my body is sore I’ll have to flip a coin between here & two tylenols.
