Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage Spa - Carlsbad — Attraction in Carlsbad

I have been a patron of Happy Head Carlsbad for over 6 months now. I go in regularly for monthly and even bi-weekly Asian style massages since I suffer from migraines and their services are so affordable. Ren is my go-to guy. I have had many massages over the years including when I used to work at Burke Williams Day Spa in Orange County. I can honestly say REN is the BEST massage therapist I’ve EVER HAD! I will never go to another therapist for as long as he is working there. I go in with a migraine and leave transformed. Also, I wasn’t sure of the difference between Asian style and Swedish when I first tried it but now I’ll never go back. To me, Swedish style is for someone just looking to relax. Asian style actually works out the kinks. Ren definitely does deep tissue work so if you don’t like firm pressure, make sure you voice that.

I also want to address the reviews from the patrons complaining about being pressured into leaving a tip. From what I read, the massage therapists did their job and you enjoyed it. Just because you wanted an upgrade or chose the wrong type of service, doesn’t mean your therapist should take the hit. These people put their bodies through A LOT to make YOU feel better for minimum wage. The least you can do is show your appreciation. It’s obvious you’ve never worked in the service industry.

Thank you Happy Head & Ren! See you in a...

So I was very hesitant about getting a massage from this place. I didn’t know what to expect. I got the 90 minute Asian Style Body and Foot Massage. My therapist was Mandy. There were several tables in the room. I liked the idea of a fully clothed massage. I didn’t think oil was going to be involved because I had clothes on. Thankfully I had a sports bra on because I had a brand new shirt on and the therapist was stretching the collar on my shirt to massage my shoulders. I wish the pressure was a little harder on my neck (yes I asked).

The tables are rock hard, like no padding at all. My feet were dangling off the end of the table into a bucket of water for the foot soak. Because there was no support under the knees, my lower back started to hurt. By the time she finished my head, neck, shoulders and arms, the water was cold.

The foot massage was great. The best part of the massage was when I was turned face down and she did shiatsu style compressions all over. I’m a massage therapist, so I am very picky when it comes to massage. I would return again when my regular...

I had the pleasure of getting a Swedish full-body massage with Cindy, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the ambience was calming, elegant, and instantly put me at ease. The receptionist—though I forgot her name—was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She took the time to explain every single service they offer in such a thoughtful and thorough way, which really helped me feel comfortable and informed.

Cindy’s massage was absolutely amazing—her technique was soothing and precise, releasing every bit of tension I had. I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. The entire staff was superb, professional, and genuinely kind.

It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes: great service, peaceful environment, and warm, caring people. I’m already looking forward to coming back. I’m truly starting to fall in love...
