Convoy Foot Care & Massage

My girlfriend and I went in here to get a relaxing couples massage without paying premium spa prices. I’ve been to several massage places where you can get $ 40 full body massages and this was the absolute worst. Essentially I paid $ 80 for my girlfriend and I to be pet like dogs with oil. After we were done I was so disappointed I was going to not tip, but the good person in me said to give them something so I offered $ 5 each. The girls looked at the money and looked at me and said that people usually give $ 20 or at least $ 10 and laughed like it was a joke. I told them if they didn’t want it I would gladly take it back at which point they moved aside and let us leave. If you enjoy the massages here I invite you to try a few other places and find out what you’re missing.

Been here a couple of times as I am making my rounds across the area trying out the myriad of massage parlors here. The massage therapists are really good. I was a little cold though each times as they crank up the A/​C, but I just asked to lower it or turn it off and they politely did so.

This was a horrible experience. The male who mangled my head, face and body must be an abuser. I kept protesting but he shoved me back into the chait, I removed his hands and he pushed right past my protest, I spoke out loud and he got rougher. I suffer from bruises, contusions and concusions of the head, face and neck area. I could hardly move the next day and have been on ice packs and antinflamatories all week. I have serious soft tissue damage and this will take a long time to heal.
I was hit in the top of the head with a mighty thump. I suffer from cluster headaches and migraines daily now.
I am under doctors care and am conteplating making a police report for battery and possibly a law suit for excessive endangerment of my health and welfare.
These people cannot be trained professionals. This is a cheap shoddy untrained money making come heither. This place needs to be shut down and I intend to see to it before someone end up dead from abuse

I really wanted to like this place because I don’t think it’s terribly fair to slam a $ 17 massage place (it’s $ 20 now, by the way) for not being a totally customized/​individualized/​educational experience. I’ve had my share of $ 20 massages as well as $ 120 massages, and I know that these budget places can be great. That is, as long as you are personally okay with:
– being in a room with other customers. This joint actually has only 2 customers to a room rather than one large room with 20 chairs.
– having a masseuse who is bored. Come on, they have a routine they go through. That’s what you get for $ 20. They might yawn or look around a little. Yeah, it’s not luxury, but whatevs.
– being spoken to in broken English, which results in occasional awkwardness. For example, as soon as he showed me to my chair, he said «You pay now?» Except… I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a question. So I ponied up the cash and he thanked me. It also took a few seconds for me to understand some of the ways he was asking me to position my limbs. :shrug:
And now, some specific comments about this establishment.
– my masseuse, Leon, was a nice guy despite the aforementioned awkwardness. However, I was really distracted by the fact that he seemed to have a cold and was trying to not drip boogers on me the whole time. It’s hypocritical of me to criticize this, as I’m actually getting over a cold as well, and I wasn’t allowed to skip work; just had to do my thing (and I DO work with clients/​patients as well). But my point is that it detracted from the ambiance.
– speaking of the ambiance, it was actually pretty nice for a budget joint. My chair was huge and cushy and comfortable. As mentioned, there were only 2 chairs in my room, and the other one didn’t happen to be occupied. Pleasant pan flute music played overhead. Lights were dim. Leon was wearing jeans and a tank top… but hey, I must remind myself that I’m not breaking the bank for this!
– and back to Leon, the bottom line as to why I can’t be more forgiving: the massage was, maybe, 20% pleasant. The rest of it was pretty neutral and even amateurish. Yes, I am comparing the massage technique to other $ 20 places. I felt like he wasn’t very detail-​oriented; he did a lot of general quick squeezes and slaps. I prefer to have smaller areas worked on with focus. Because of this, it wasn’t as relaxing an experience as I would have liked. I will give him some props for noticing when I grimaced, and he would back off; he also asked me first if it was okay to massage around my hips, which I thought was polite.
– some last details about the foot massage: as others have mentioned, it’s really a full body (but fully clothed) massage. Probably 20 minutes tops are devoted to the feet. Scalp, face, neck/​shoulders, back, arms, and legs are also covered. There’s some reflexology thrown in as well, so be prepared to have your limbs tugged on and moved around. I’m not a huge fan of the tugging, as the skin-​on-​skin friction reminds me of those Indian burns from 2^nd grade.
Phew, sorry for the long-​windedness, but hope this is helpful! I think I’ll move on and try a different establishment next time, but I’m still a believer in the $ 20 massage in general :)

This place is legit, inexpensive and pretty good! Boyfriend and I have been many many times. It’s also right near a ton of good Asian restaurants which is a plus. Just don’t get a room on the right side or you will be listening to club music from the place next door during your massage.

My GF & I go often. Love it. Great prices too $ 40 p.h.
Yes, this is a REAL MAssage place you can take your girlfriend, Mother or sister…
My Girlfriend and I have been going for over a year and we BOTH love it.
Many different girls.
Some stronger than others…
Very polite and friendly.
I highly suggest this place.
They just opened a FOOT ONLY join in the same center.$ 17 per hour? HOW?
Seriously???

There is a reason this place is cheap. The massage was far from mediocre. First I was taken into a dim lit room with curtains but they served no purpose since they put me in a section right next to a stranger. The girl started off slathering lotion all over her hands that smelled cheap and then started working on my forehead then my cheeks, all I could think was in my head was how that cheap oil will make my skin break out. I go to facials often and know when I get good facial massage, this was uncomfortable, sticky feeling and gross. The masseuse had no idea about human musculature, she didn’t hit any of my pressure points and everything felt off. I thought it was a foot massage but she spent more time everywhere else, badly. I was in Taiwan recently and got the real deal there, this doesn’t even meet 10% of the quality standards to those I’ve been to in Asia. I will never go to this place again.
Oh I forgot to mention, the lazy boy chair smelled like it was 20 years old and was formerly owned by some greasy old guy who wore bad cheap cologne.

Alright, I’m confused since I only went here after the glowing reviews from my friends Jonathan H. and Karen B. All the reviews are right. You pay $ 17 for a «foot massage» that turns out to be a hour long full body massage.
However, there was nothing «magical» about my experience. The whole hour was anything butt tranquil. First, you’re in a room with another person so the two masseuses kept on talking to each other. Wait, am I in a nail salon?! Then, as the massage continues, everything felt like a routine. There was nothing personalized to help fix the knots that are all over my back due to working in the restaurant industry. She was just going through the motions. I peeked at her a couple of times and she simply looked bored.
On one positive note, and the only positive note I may add, the actual foot massage was amazing. I actually would consider coming back here and having them only massage my feet.
However, the ultimate reason why I gave Convoy Foot Care & Massage one star is because of the aftermath. Leaving the place a week ago, I felt that I shouldn’t care about the lackluster performance because it really was only $ 17. Then, two days later, I felt an aching pain all over the right side of my back. This pain ran all the way from my right shoulder to my lower back. In sum, these ladies are clearly not certified because my girl majorly f**ked up the whole right side of my back. Instead of a massage, I feel like I got beat up.
It’s been 5 days now and the pain is still there. I’m seriously contemplating shelling out alot of money to go to a real massage establishment to have them fix what had happened. No thanks to you Convoy Foot Care and Massage.

The other reviews are true, foot massage that is a massage for the rest of your body as well for a mere 17 $. At first I thought this type of massage at this price required one going to the Irvine area, so imagine my delight in learning there was such a place in San Diego! Allow me a mini reflection.
The first time I went to Irvine and got a $ 20 «foot massage,» I was in Heaven. Their $ 20 foot massage focused heavily on the back and shoulders, which are my major tight spots. They started with the back and shoulders, and moved down, ending at the feet, which was not a huge percentage of the overall experience. I was hoping CFC&M would provide the same experience.
Unfortunately that was not so. They start with the face and head, do a little arms, then go to the feet for an extended period of time. I actually found this to be borderline unpleasant, because I’m somewhat tickle-​ish, which I had not encountered as a problem during the Irvine massages because they were a much smaller portion of the overall massage. Were I to go again, I think I would have to go for the full body massage, because the feet part just wasn’t that enjoyable.
Overall though, you’re getting an hour long massage for $ 17. That is a 5 star deal for sure. The only reason I docked it a star is that they switched masseuses multiple times for my friend and I, and the one I had for half the time had a loud, recurrent cough that really disturbed the «tranquil» mood of the place. Otherwise it’s a great deal, and as long as you aren’t too tickle-​ish in regards to your feet, you can’t beat the deal.
Note that they have a $ 5 minimum tip policy. I don’t mention this as a negative, but so that you don’t have an awkward payment experience (I forgot to mention this to my friend who did have one).

I love, love, love this place. They offer an excellent service at an excellent price and they have excellent hours. They are open until 11:00 pm. What more could you want. The first time I went here, I had just met a friend for dinner at Jeong Won Korean BBQ. I saw the sign on the window for the massage place that said, «Foot Massage $ 16.99.» When we left dinner, I was surprised to find that it was still open. I went in and requested a foot massage.
I ended up getting a full body massage. The whole time I was thinking that maybe they misunderstood and I was concerned that I was going to get charged a lot of money. When it was done, the bill was $ 17. They will charge an extra dollar if you pay with a card so I ended up paying $ 18 plus a tip. The entire experience was excellent.
I thought this experience was a fluke so I went back a couple of days later at a different time to see and it was not a fluke. I got excellent service at an excellent price for the second time. I would absolutely recommend this place!!!

Foot massage. Two simple words. What comes to mind when reading them? Your feet? A brief massage? A lot of money? Prepare to have your mind blown.
You walk in and the nice lady at the front (probably LiLi) will say, «Appointment?»
“No,” you say. She doesn’t seem to mind.
«Wait minute.» She disappears for a moment behind the door.
«Ok you come now.» She beckons and you follow her into the dark, tranquil back room where the magic happens.
«OK you sit here.» She points into the darkness and as your eyes adjust you see a horizontal couch-​slash-​bed behind a curtain.
«OK you put feet in water.» She grabs your feet and plunges them into a plastic bag inside a bucket filled with water. The water is piping hot but something about the zen music and the brevity of her speech makes your nervous system accept the burning sensation on all the little hair follicles of your legs.
What happens next is not a foot massage.
She moves to the top of your body, scratching your head, massaging your neck, moving your head around. She pulls your arms in ways that should dislocate them but instead feels amazing. She pokes, prods and pounds. She does this to your head, your neck, your legs, your back, your chest… everywhere that is not your feet.
And when about an hour has passed, she finally gives you a feet massage. A spectacular foot massage. All for just $ 17.
«OK, you done,» she says, giggling a little bit. «OK you come again next time, OK?»
You find it difficult to speak, or even to stand, Your body is putty and your words are soup. «OK, I come again next time,» you say as you melt off the bed and back onto the floor.

I stumbled across this place after eating at Jeong Won Korean BBQ. They advertised foot massages for 17 bucks so I figured, why not?! Well, turns out that I wasn’t the only one who had this idea. I happened to walk in around the same time as 7 other people. Great. But I gotta say they did a great job of handling all of us. We were ushered from one store to the other, which was a little weird, but whatever.
So I finally got to my seat which looked like a huge recliner with the back completely down. I hopped in and it was sooo comfortable! As I was getting settled in, I looked to the right at the girl who just finished getting her massage. I’m not sure how to describe what she looked like. Let’s put it this way, she looked like she just got through having really, really, really good sex. She had a relaxed look on her face, her hair was crazy messy, and as she was getting off of the recliner it looked as if her legs were about to give out at any minute. All she was missing was a cigarette. I thought to myself, «Holy crap, that chick looks like hell. She should’ve brushed her hair before she left the house today. WTH?!» Anyway, I quickly turned away as she briefly glanced at me and scurried to the restroom.
So my lady finally arrived and started off by massaging my face. Not really a fan of people touching my face but I decided to relax and go with the flow. I closed my eyes and they would remain that way for the next 50+ minutes. She moved on to my head and that’s when I realized why that lady’s hair was so crazy looking. Let’s just say she did A LOT of massaging, scratching, rubbing, and petting.
On to my shoulders, neck, and back. Now this is when things get fuzzy. I was so relaxed that I can’t even recall what happened next. All I know is my entire back, legs, arms, chest, and feet were all massaged and each of them were paid an equal amount of attention. She finished off with my neck and shoulders one last time with the perfect amount of pressure exactly where I needed it. The knots were no longer there and I felt so good. When she finished, I told her that I loved her and wanted her to come home with me. Wow! All this for 17 bucks! What the hell? Why didn’t I find this place sooner? As I got off the recliner and made my way to the bathroom with my hair messy and my knees feeling weak, everything now made sense.
Now does the place look questionable? Yeah. Is it the cleanest looking place? No. But I’d be willing to overlook that stuff for another full body massage for $ 17.

Love this place unlike other foot massage places in the area. This foot massage is actually more spa like. Tranquil music, dim lights, comfortable chair beds and hushed voices. Boy to they get the pressure points like no other. Its an actual massage. I went there two week s ago and have been back twice… at 17.00 dollars a massage its affordable. Again, they are actually therapeutic and amazing reflexology. I love it!!! Give them a try highly recommend
