Relax Feet Massage

I have to downgrade my rating past on recent experiences. I understand that there’s no private room or anything, but still I feel that when the staff talks loud (whether to other staff or to customers) is distracting from the experience. I’m not saying they shouldn’t talk (given the long day I know they put in) but they should limit the volume.
Also, the last two times I came here I got a male staff, and during the foot massage process they would include pounding the bottom of my feet with their fist, which at instances was painful. Is that really necessary or have any actual benefits?
Also, prices for gift cards have gone up compared to before. On the other hand they have offers on Groupon that are pretty good if you time the purchase when the website has a discount on offers. This location started accepting Groupons recently.

Lot of fleas on their towels, can’t believe it!!! I won’t go back again for sure. Geez

Fanny was awesome, intuitive and strong. loved it !

Went there 3 times. 1 was good, 2 was bad. 1 out of 3 were my odds! I had the same odds at their Noriega place! Its cheap so you get what you pay for.

One of the most uncomfortable massages I’ve ever had. It was unclear whether I should keep my shirt on or off. I kept it on and the neck was stretched on it. There was bad communication between myself and the male massages therapist. I wouldn’t recommend going to this location. It could have been due to lack of communication on my part, but I’ve talked to others that have gone and both of them shared in a not so nice experience.

Just went to massage again today due to the wet weather. Neck and back massage for one hour. Service was great! Masseur listened what I want and skillful. However, price went up to 170 for 5 times!

Gets the job done if you’re looking for a message at a cheap price. They raised their prices now, so it’s not that good of a deal anymore considering the space is a communal room with multiple chairs adjacent to each other. Yes, it’s can be kind of awkward to see your fellow neighbor in pain or pleasure all at the same time.
It’s legit here. You will get a legit massage. The staff are pretty good and professional. I usually ask for Fanny and she’s got some strong hands, and does amazing work to my back. Hurts so good!
Personally, I rather pay a bit more for a private room and nicer place. I think ambiance and vibe plays a solid role intô the whole massage experience and I want the full blown show! Otherwise, this is a great place for a convenient massage especially of you’re looking for something last minute. They usually accommodate walk ins and have late hours.

This place was awesome. I’ve been to two different foot massage businesses in mainland China and this place was better than both of them. You get a facial, scalp, neck, shoulder, arm, and then foot massage. Then they flip you over in the chair and you get the back, leg, butt, shoulder, neck, and head massage again.
The price is unbelievable as well. 5 massages for $ 100, or $ 25 each. Be generous with your tip considering the amount of time spent and the low price: the masseuse likely does not make much on a stand-​alone basis. «Very professional» was the quote from my ex.

I’ve been to other Chinese foot massage places before so to be fair, the actual massage was good. Other than the massage, it was a very unsatisfying experience.
–The girl at the front desk spoke VERY little English. I had to repeat my question 3 times and she still could not understand what I was asking. She lost a sale for a membership card.
— The location sucks! It’s right on Taravel a very busy street with cars and street cars. it was hard to ignore it since the door was wide open.
— They had the TV on. What massage place has a TV going? How can that be relaxing?
It really made me appreciate the massage place I used to go to in the East Bay. It may be worth it to drive back there the next time I want a massage. It’s even cheaper and they don’t pressure you for a tip!

I never been that rude in my life, but I did after a 7 mins massage! Why 7 mins? Because i couldn’t stand the unskillfulness of the massage person. He is so new that he doesn’t know how to give a massage. He was basically applying lotion on my body. If he could at least put some effort or know what he was doing, I would at least bear with the one hour. He did not know how to give a massage. I think the employer needs to make sure the staffs are trained before letting them run the business. Just BAD! BAD! BAD! How do you expect consumer to spend any money on packages? We are not that stupid!

Lisa Lisa Lisa… is THE BEST!!! However, if you are unable to handle med-​hard to hard pressure, then…
Aida Aida Aida is your second BEST!!!
My husband & I come here almost every Sunday & these two wonderful ladies do such a great job in making sure your aches & pains are taken care of.
Lisa, for some reason, knows which parts of my body need the most attention-it’s amazing how I can come out of that place feeling so renewed… AAAAAHHHHH HEAVEN…

I really don’t like leaving 1 or 2 star reviews. Nothing makes me more sad than the realization that I just received 2 star service and then having no choice but to be honest.
These types of massage places are my favorite because I get to relax for an hour and not spend $ 100. Granted, the massages are always hit and miss but usually, they are pretty decent so it makes it ok. I am very forgiving when it comes to massages because I know that they work really hard and I am only paying $ 25. For whatever reason, I am actually not the type of person that will get up and leave in the middle of a bad movie, a bad massage or let someone know when they have given me an unsatisfactory hair cut.
This time, I just couldn’t stand how bad the massage was. I shouldn’t feel bad at all letting them know I am unsatisfied but I do feel bad because the guy was so nice and he even asked me what I wanted him to work on, which they usually don’t care. I’m sorry but this guy gave me the worst massage I have ever had! It was really that bad. It’s like he didn’t know how to give massages at all. It was very sloppy. He was just pushing on me. He had no concept of muscles or pressure points. Nothing felt good at all and I was sitting there waiting for it to feel better. I have him a chance up until he got to my feet and what he was doing was causing pain, not because I was sore or it was a pressure point, but because he was being very sloppy. I immediately got up and spoke with the manager. She apologized and gave me a refund right away. This was a 1 star experience but the fact they gave me a refund without hesitation gives them an extra star.
He must have had a cold because he kept sniffling and wiping his nose. At one point, he even wiped his nose on the curtain. It was so distracting and with the bad massage, I just felt like I didn’t deserve to spend my hard earned money on a terrible massage.
The moral of the story is: don’t be afraid to let someone know when you are being given services that are unsatisfactory. You are paying them and they need to value you as a customer. They SHOULD value you as a customer. If you plan to go back, than be respectful and if you don’t care, then just don’t go back. If you decide to try this place, just be sure that you are letting them know within 15 – 20 minutes that you are unhappy. I feel that is a generous amount of time to decide if you want to continue.

First thing I notice as I’m being brought to the massage chair is a 25 yr old or something male employee sleeping in the chair behind mine. Whatever that’s fine maybe he’s super tired and its a hard job I guess. But about 25mins into my cheap crappy massage he starts snoring big time. And at this point all I can focus on is the snoring. It would have helped if the 50+ yr old guy who is doing my massage was any good but its SO obvious that he was not trained in any FORMAL reflexology massage technique! I couldn’t help telling myself «this is what you get when you go cheap!» But dude the massage lacked any care whatsoever. It was rough and the NOT very relaxing at all. (ironic-​ass name) for the business. As I lay there with a towel on my face all I could think of was that 25mins into it I wanted to leave.
So around the 35 minute mark when he told me to lay on my front side I started putting on my shoes and gestured with my palm and said «no thanks I’m thru». I walked up to the counter where the girl was and the man who did my massage said something to her in their language and I tried explaining to both of them that my massage was terrible and left.
Don’t waste your money here. Here’s a list of things about the massage that was terrible.
–No finesse, not gentle, not relaxing, a few times I pulled my foot away because this idiot was hurting me,
–the place looked ghetto to begin with but I still went because it had 4 stars on Unilocal.
(I suspect this place has many fake reviews)
–etc etc etc SO wack! its not even worth one try.

Better than Noriega but worse than Irving. My lady gave me a headache because she stabbed me in the temples for 5 minutes. I do like the heated buckwheat pillows — that’s a nice touch. Here’s the thing about this chain, though — every single masseuse is different. There is no consistency, for better or worse. You might get someone better, or you might get the guy who massaged my ear lobes. The menu options are also super confusing (I think intentionally).

$ 30 package C: 60 minute full body massage, non-​member price (members $ 20)
$ 22 gift cards that can be spent on packages C&D (I think) when you buy 5 at a time
$X tip as you please… or not
I got lucky with my drop-​in. I suggest calling to make an appointment just in case they’re busy at the time you drop-​in. Heck, make the appointment if you’re on our way just in case. Wouldn’t hurt since people do get turned away with an appointment 1 – 3 hours later.
When I arrived, I was handed a menu (?) and selected my package © and then a scent (Joyously Jasmine). Some scents costs more, such as Ginger magic and I’m Beautiful.
Attire: wear something loose and easy to move/​stretch. For instance, black skinny jeans wasn’t smart neither was a new white V-​neck tee. I say yoga pants and a tank-​top/​t-​shirt (under wire bras are painful when your back is getting massaged).
Accessories: Necklaces, watches, rings, etc get in the way, take them off before to save yourself the trouble later. Also, bring in as little as possible. You won’t need your cell phone or your purse as there aren’t very many places to place them.
Parking: I prefer this location to Noriega or Irving since parking is easier and FREE (!). Save yourself the stress of the ticking meter.
Lisa gave me a massage. She started with a hot water feet soak and then gave me a back bead warmer for my lower back. She began with a head and neck massage and I opted out of the face massage which resulted in shortening my massage for about 5 minutes. Next were my arms and hands, then legs, feet, and then back. The massage felt nice and definitely relaxing. I felt good for the rest of the day. But I don’t think any of my back knots came out and I just felt like my ol’ regular self the following morning. Maybe I need a pressure increase?
As others have pointed out, you are in one dark room, the only lighting is from the back room and the light the peeks in from the front doors. There are about 8 massage chairs in one open room. And sometimes they’re yapping away, but it’s only for a few moments.

I went here with my friend and it was ok, maybe I didn’t get the right person because her hands felt like mini pinches all over.
They do have deals and the price is not too bad, but I’d rather go to this spot in Oakland.

Oh my gosh! My friends and I wanted a quick and cheap massage and this is definitely the spot! Paid for a $ 20 «feet massage!» Why is it in quotation marks? Because the massage is actually a whole body massage!!! All the clients are in 1 room but you’re fully clothed so don’t worry!
I definitely recommend this place if you want something relaxing and inexpensive. You won’t get the experience of an actual Day Spa but you get what you pay for. And I say it was a pretty good $ 20 massage!

I’m giving this four stars for value. To get a 60 min. foot, neck, head and back massage, easier to just say a head to toe massage (different options available) for $ 30 is truly a great bang for your buck.
So, when you enter, the room is shared with approximately 6 massage stations. My masseuse was an an older woman who really stuck it to me. I actually had to tell her to be softer, which she chuckled and did. I’ve been having many flare-​ups with my injured back and arthritis in my knee, and I left here less stiff and I’m sure she helped with some lymphatic drainage.
I’ve actually got a Rx from my Doctor to receive massage therapy for my issues but with insurance being as difficult as it is, this is actually a better deal. Not only that, I may actually be able to afford coming in more often.
They do offer some kind of package where you can get 5 massages for $ 100 but since it’s almost Christmas, I’m thinking I may put that on my Christmas list instead.
But for those who think this is a spa, please remember there is no «spa» in this business’ name so curb those expectations.

I caught myself snoring — no, no, not just once, but TWICE.
That may not mean much to you (except perhaps, a few laughs), but this is coming from a person who has never been a huge fan of massages because she doesn’t like strangers touching her, plus she has a tendency to be uncontrollably ticklish.
This was my second visit to Relax Foot Massage (hooray for the five hour long full body massages — yes, «full body» even includes your tush — for $ 100), and, likely because I knew what to expect, was very relaxing, so much so that I fell asleep (hence the snoring. And I typically only snore if I’m super tired, and I wasn’t even sleepy that day!).
Here’s what I like about this place:
— I don’t have to get nekkid (I feel most comfortable in my clothes, thank you very much)
— The massage is given in a room, with other patrons sitting in their own recliners nearby (so I have a slight phobia to being in a room with only myself and a stranger. Sue me)
— My masseuse was not fussy at all when I asked to forego a massage on my face and head; he just focused the time on the rest of my body (really, people? You enjoy strangers massaging your face?)
— Five massages for $ 100? Enough said.
— It’s close to home, welcomes walk-​ins, and is open until 10pm!

I’m completely impressed & left a bit speechless.
$ 20 for a foot massage + complimentary head, shoulder, and back massage? Sounds kind of sketch but is anything BUT sketch.
For some reason, there has been an abundant amount of Relax Feet Massage places that has opened up. It seems like everywhere I turn there’s one in front tempting me.
At first I was a bit skeptical, after all it does look pretty questionable from the outside and for the price? it must be a very good massage. My worse fear is to end up at a place that serves «happy endings» rather than legit massages or worse yet, leave with your whole body aching for days instead of being relaxed.
Finally, i decided to be brave and venture on into a Relax Feet. Surely enough if you purchase a prepaid package of 4 feet massages for $ 100 they’ll throw in an extra one for free — making it 5 feet massages for $ 100.
Once you’re there, they’ll hand you a «menu» of different types of foot soak you can choose from. With the prepaid package you can choose any type of foot soak even though they’re all different prices. I opted for the Jasmine soak and was pleasnantly surprised to see that it does a quite the «pleasant» scent that you expect from jasmine.
The masseuse barely spoke english but knew enough to get by. All in all I spent about 15 minutes soaking my feet, 15 minutes spent getting my head, shoulder & neck massaged, 15 minutes spent on massaging my feet, and another 15 spent on my back.
For freaking $ 20 hell yeah I’ll come back! I left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I highly recommend this place! and thank god no one asked if I wanted a «happy ending»
