Serenity Foot Massage

I am so very very disappointed with this place. My daughter and I went there for our 4^th visit to get our usual which is a foot massage and detox for 40.$. The foot massage was terrible and lasted less than 30 minutes and actually hurt because he did the same 3 areas. Then we had our detox which we were always given at least a 10 to 15 minute shoulder and neck massage while we are detoxing. That never happened! And when I asked he said no more and didn’t really understand me. I stated we had come several times before and got this he said no! I asked if I could pay him more no. He touched my neck reluctantly for about 2 minutes and that was that. We will never go there again. I was going to buy gift certificates for my families upcoming birthdays no
More!

This place was amazing! My fiancé and I got the combo body and foot for $ 35 and it was so worth it. They used stones but they were perfect temperature. The guy was very professional. The only thing I felt uncomfortable about was when leaving the tip. He seemed upset they have a chart on what the expected tip should be which we left a little over the minimum. But the place was relaxing. I would recommend it!
Okay so Unilocal wouldn’t let me do an update. It is now the next day and later on in the evening on the day that I got the massage done my neck started to hurt really bad. I thought I could just be sore. But today I look at my neck and it is bruised. :/​blah I had to change my rating.

I’ve been coming to Serenity for a year. Started shortly after they opened and I’m in the spa at least once a week. I used to treat myself every five weeks to a massage at my hair salon, but after finding Serenity, why pay for one massage when I can have five for the same price? As for the tip sign — lots of people don’t know what to tip. Especially when they’re being offered such a good price for a physically difficult service. I love this business and think everyone needs to at least give it a try.

I love a great foot massage place… somewhere you can just drop in after a long day, not pay an arm and a leg but actually get an extremely relaxing and recharging experience. Not only is this place that exactly but they are consistent. All of their technicians are wonderful and so very polite and nice.

The person that started this place up worked as a therapist at the Serenity in West Covina and stole many of their ideas, including their name. How do I know this? The owner was gloating about it when I mentioned the same name. At first she said they were the same and just a branch, but when I showed skepticism, she admitted that she took the name and mimicked many of the original Serenity’s aspects.
No shame is there? If you’ve ever tried the original Serenity in West Covina, you’ll see the similarity but this place falls way below. To everyone else, be careful. If the owner is that shady, you can only imagine the tricks she’s willing to pull off on you. Make sure your therapist is CAMTC certified and ask for their cetification. If they’re not certified, which I know many of them aren’t, it’s illegal and if you get hurt, it’s your own fault.

I read all the reviews then I went on Monday with a friend. I got the 60 minute foot massage. I knew what to expect after reading the reviews. It was a great experience from the beginning. You can’t beat a quiet all body massage with emphasis on the feet for $ 25. I read there was a minimum tip and it was only $ 5. I gave much more because it was equally enjoyable as going to massage envy. I would love to go once a week.

First time getting a foot massage. It was much more. The do a little on everything. My feet were killing me! Now they feel so much better!

This place is amazing. My sister was in town and we were looking for a place to get a foot massage. We found this place on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. We went with the $ 25 option (foot massage only). It ended up being and entire hour — a good chunk of which was the foot massage but they also worked on the entire body. Clothes stayed on as it’s a community area with many beds in the room. Having said that, it felt very tranquil — just amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend!

The place is clean. I’ll give them that.
Girl that did my massage was heavily breathing her bad breathe on me when she was massaging my neck and head. I was so grossed out.
It was not worth even price they charge. I didn’t walk out feeling amazing. Rather, I felt totally grossed out and slimmed out and couldn’t wait to take a shower. YUK. It wasn’t that great of a massage. Didn’t feel great in any way.
Guy up in front collected money and has a sign up at register referencing how much of a tip is expected. I gave the minimum just for having the nerve to post it!!! Won’t be back.

Gone to multiple massage places in the Yorba Linda area and I have to say this is hands down the best place I’ve been to! Super clean, friendly staff and amazing massage! I went with two of my friends and we all three had the best massages of our lives! So thankful I found this place and would recommend to anyone!

Loved this massage place! I’ve tried a couple in garden grove and they are always so loud and grimy looking :/​but this place was perfectly clean they had relaxing music playing and even had hot stones! My new favorite massage place :)

I got the 1.5 hour foot/​full body massage.
Not gonna lie, I got a massage right after leg day so my body was already beat up from the workout before.
It was a little odd getting a massage from a man, but it was so worth it! This guy knew how to get rid of all the aches and pains of my workouts and I left totally relaxed and ready to rest. His pressure was pretty strong, very deep into my muscles.
Price range was just right! They were also able to accommodate me even though I walked in! AWESOME!!!

Was able to make an appointment the same evening as we wanted to go. Was just going to do the foot massage but went for the ½ hour foot and ½ back. Didn’t like the transition from the chairs to the dressing room but everything else was fantastic. Super clean. Great pressure and they use warm towels to wipe off the oil and lotion. Very enjoyable.

I was going to go to Westminster to my old massage spot, but decided to shorten my trip. After seeing all the excellent reviews, I was intrigued and thought, I’d give them a try. From now on, I stay with my spot in Westminster! It was terrible, I think my masseuse did a decent job, but I’ve had better.
As a tip, for those that have insurance that covers therapeutic massage I would recommend finding one instead of going to these massage parlors. They are more focused and trained professionally to target specific needs.
The next day, I felt good, but the day after (two days later) my mid back was still aching. I have to admit I didn’t get the nicest vibe from the front desk clerk, he just came off as a stone wall. Although the masseuse was nice, the clerk just killed it. I wanted to pay with card, he asked me to pay with cash preferably. I was reluctant, but I figured whatever, I gave the clerk the tip for my masseuse, since he appeared to have a client he was working on, but the clerk demanded I give more. I thought that was a bit rude to make that sort of demands. I honestly cannot see how this place has so many good review when in reality, it wasn’t all that great, it wasn’t memorable, it wasn’t something where I would recommend to a friend, or anyone for that matter.

The massage overall was decent, I’m giving it two stars because the guy I had smelled like cigarette smoke and also I was told that they had a minimum tip when I definitely did not tip cheaply. The man at the front made me redo my tip? I’ve never had someone tell me to re-​tip so that was definitely a turn off and rude. Probably won’t be going back.

I only review businesses I’d give 5 stars. Serenity Foot Massage fits the bill for that rating from my experience on Friday ³⁄₂₀. I called up in the early afternoon to make an appointment for my friend and me at 4:30. They told us okay, then called us about 3:30 and asked if we could wait until 5:00 since their earlier appointments would be running over. So far so good. I really appreciated the heads-​up, as I’d rather spend the extra ½ hour doing something else than sitting inside a shop waiting around.
Showed up at 5:00 and they were all ready for us upon arrival and ran over the menu of services. I’d been to Foot Massage places in San Gabriel/​Alhambra which were pretty good and extremely inexpensive. The basic foot massage here was $ 25 vs. the $ 15/​$ 20 going rate I was used to… but, just standing in the mini-​lobby here, I could see that the inside was so much cleaner and more pleasant than what I’d experienced before that I chucked all of my cheapness/​pettiness out the door at that point.
The interior isn’t ostentatious like an expensive Beverly Hills spa. It’s set up as a tasteful and ultra-​clean oasis of serenity, decked out with what look like new furnishings, a subdued dark and quiet ambiance sporting a barely-​there pleasant odor and nice, innocuous and appropriate background soundtrack running all the while. There are a limited number of «stations» in the main room where the foot massages are done. The «chairs» there looked a lot nicer and much more comfortable – and were, according to my friend – than all of the places I’d been to before, where there can be so many chairs/​lounges set up so close together that it can be hard to maintain the Zen-​type experience I think a lot of us are looking for. It looked like there were four (or more?) private rooms in back.
My friend went for a $ 35 combo Foot-​Body Massage, half in the main room and half in a private room. I went for the Full-​Body Massage for $ 45 for one hour in the private room when the attendant in front assured me that I could get someone to apply extreme pressure on my severely aching back in an attempt to ease a week’s run of chronic pain. My room was very quiet, nicely decked-​out and private. My masseuse was Jeanie (Genie?). Even through my friend raved to me about his masseuse, I’m an old conservative, and when I find something excellent, I just prefer to stick with that. Jeanie is definitely whom I will request next time I go.
She worked me hard for the entire hour, and was able to increase pressure every time I asked for it. I’ve rarely had strong, muscular guys who could loosen me up the way I’d like. Jeanie she put all of them to shame. I’ve probably had only 20 massages before, but this was hands-​down my best one. I’m sure part of it was because of the great relief from the paralyzing pain I’d been suffering. But it was also the first time that I’d felt my tissue and muscles get worked in such a professional way that I was thinking all of the others masseurs and masseuses I’d ever had before needed to go back to school.
Basically, a first-​class experience at deeply-​discounted prices. I will be back on a regular basis. There is plenty of parking and the location is perfect for approaching from any direction – dead center in the back of a mini-​mall at the SE corner of the intersection of Yorba Linda Blvd. and Imperial Highway.
$ 25, $ 35, $ 45 for an hour of various services… $ 55 for an hour and a half. I tipped generously due to extreme satisfaction.
You might get lucky and find another place around that’s excellent… and you can probably find other places where maybe you could even save a couple bucks… but, the ratings on this place aren’t sky-​high for no reason. I don’t think anybody who comes here would be disappointed about anything.

Serenity Now!
Today was my first visit. Such a great experience. The staff is so tuned in to what you need to relax. Very thoughtful and calming.
Did 30 min. foot and 60 min. back. Chairs very comfortable. Hot water nice and HOT, but not scalding. Oils and lotions used are very light.
They keep the atmosphere very muted and serene, even though in a small commercial center in a busy are la of town. Technique and pressure were GREAT. Probably best massage I’ve had in a couple of years.
Thank you! Will be back soon.

Thanks fellow Unilocalers
one of the best massage I had…
male masseuse (Alex)…$ 35 combo massage (30-​min foot & 30-​min back) recommended, I even had a little cold but after the warm back massage with soothing oil rubbed on, breathing comfortably
Tip them well

Best massage! The staff was super friendly. I got the combo which included 30 mins body massage and 30 mins of foot massage for $ 35. The foot massage took place in the main room (dark and quiet) and then the body massage was in a secluded room (shirt optional if you want the oil –no extra charge). Jeanie got all the knots out of my back! I will definitely be going back. Also the place was very clean!
Other massage options that I remember…
$ 25 60 min. Foot massage
$ 25 60 min. Body massage

Great hospitality! So happy this place opened up near my house… Michelle was amazing!!! She was firm and friendly. They took me in right away with big smiles. Prices are great! The place inside is clean and spacious. Reminds me of the old school foot massage places but not in the ghetto! I got the full body massage and it seemed like it lasted forever… which is a good thing in my book! I will be back! Thanks again!
