Jiao Reflexology — Attraction in Atlanta

I’ve been using this place for my reflexology needs now for several years. I’ve taken several friends and they’ve all left extremely relaxed and coming back for more. For the most part you will have to call ahead to book an apt. Walk ins for this place rarely happen due to how popular they are. For reflexology services (only one I use, but they have others from massages to chair massage etc) you can get a 30 min or hour massage.

When you walk in it’s a small office upfront, but the employee(s) are always very helpful in getting you checked in and if u booked an apt, 95% time you will be walked back to your chair on time.

When walking back to your recliner, the atmosphere is very relaxing with lights down really low and light music playing. You get set up in a recliner that’s REALLY comfortable with two pillows and a plush blanket that they cover you with. All the chairs are sectioned off in two’s with drapes. So if you’re solo most likely will end up with someone next to u that u don’t know. I’d recommend going with a friend. I also think on Wednesday’s if you bring someone else with you, both y’all will get a discount.

After sitting down and taking your socks and shoes off, an employee will bring you a wood basket with a liner and warm water for you to put your feet in. They’ll then ask if you want water or tea to drink. You’ll leave your feet in water anywhere between 10-15 mins (it helps kill all bacteria/smells). The employee will then come, dry your feet off and then ask what kind of pressure you want (easy/medium(I like medium)/hard).

From this point, they work on each foot and lower leg/calf for about 15 mins each totaling 30 for both feet. They hit all the pressure points on your feet and lower legs it’s amazing. Now remember earlier you sat in hot water for about 10-15 mins, which leaves you at this point about 15 mins left of your hour.

They then wipe off any lotion excess and let your feet relax covered up in a towel while they go and wash their hands. They’ll come back and ask if it’s ok to touch/massage your face?. For me I’m a guy, so ladies with makeup be warned. They’ll massage your face and all the pressure points as well as your head. They’ll then work their way down to your neck and massage some of your shoulders. Last, but not least they’ll work out briefly your forearms/hands then pat down your quads finishing out the last 15 mins of your hour.

They say a lot of nerve endings and such are at the end of your feet. I am usually more relaxed from this foot/half body massage then I am from a full table massage. Something about the anatomy and nerves ending at the feet make it feeling all fantastic. You get all this for around ($40) or so, don’t quote me, but it’s in general area of pricing for and the foot massage....

Edit: my second visit was exactly the opposite. I requested the same provider, because he’s awesome! I was assured I am booked with him, once I got there someone else came up and started massaging me. It was the worst massage I’ve ever received, he was shaking my head, then spent 15 minutes on my hands although I specifically requested head & shoulders only and his technique was just terrible. After 30 minutes I walked out of the massage, because it was truly unacceptable. When I explained the front desk what happened she apologized and promised management would reach out. She also said that management would invite me to a free massage with the right provider. None of these things ever happened. You might get lucky and snatch one of the good providers or you might leave with a, literal, headache.

Excellent! Went today on a whim and am so glad I did, I’ve had the most relaxing 60 minutes 💆🏽‍♀️ The receptionist is incredible, so kind and attentive! The masseuse was an absolute dream, he had such a great energy and it transferred into the massage. Highly...

Been coming here for years and LOVE IT!!!

The foot massages automatically include a short 5 minute shoulder and head massage at the end, so tell them if you don’t want this.

If you add a “shoulder and head” massage then they do it in the same lounger-style massage chair that you get a foot rub in. I don’t prefer this because the lounger doesn’t allow them to apply as much pressure and it can be a little awkward with positioning.

I personally prefer to get a foot massage and a separate “chair massage”. If you order a chair massage, they’ll put you in an actual massage chair so the guy has full access to your back, shoulders, etc.

I love deep tissue massage and everyone here seems to apply a LOT of pressure. They use their hands, elbows, arms, legs, to push and knead. If you don’t like deep pressure, then you need to speak up and let the guy know (maybe more than once).

This place is known for its deep massages. Some people love it, other people prefer a light massage - and this may not be the...
