J&L Massage — Attraction in Daly City

不好 They tricked me. I walked in planing to do a 1 hour massage and the lady told me they could only do 40 minutes for which she charged me $73 . She said I must paid her the tip before the massage was even done and that the minimum tip accepted was $ 23. After I made the payment, she started fighting in Chinese with another lady about who was going to do my massage. They didn't know that I understand Chinese. I kinda regret having made the payment at that very moment but it already been processed. When the massage was about to be done, I heard a customer waking in around 7 pm and he said he wanted 1 hour massage for which the lady charged him only $70. I didn't hear anything about the " must pay tip" policy. I would have honestly given her more than $23 in tips if she was only transparent and didn't treat me based on stereotypes. At least the massage was good but their behavior really messed up my experience in this place. This is very sad, very unprofessional and to some point racist. I dont believe they thought I was going to tip them after the massage was done ( I'm a 25 year old hispanic and the guy walking in was a white guy in his 30 s.) They totally treated him...

I had 90min massage ( body + foot ), which was 70 dollar.

The guy did a decent job doing massage gently and made me feel comfortable. The body massage was great, and the foot one was okay. Not bad.

My issue was after massage. I actually did a research on how much to tip for massage before I went to this place, and most of them recommended about 20%. Based on that, I was trying to tip 14 dollar which is 20% of 70 dollar massage. And the guy seems frustrated, and called someone to talk to me to pay 20 dollar for tip.. which is almost 29-30%.

And I asked how much I should pay for tip if I get 50 dollar masaage, and they said I still need to pay 20 dollar for tip, and it increases hourly.

I didnt want to make any trouble so I just left after paying 20 dollar for tip. But just be...

This was one of the best massages I’ve ever had.

Believe me when I tell you I’ve had massages in some the “best” spas in NYC, LA and here in SF.

But this place can compete with the best of them in terms of technique and quality. You definitely get your money’s worth here and I felt like a brand new person.

The only thing I had a problem with was that I was put in a room near the front and I could here people talking as they came in, also you can hear the person in the room next to you if they are talking.

Pro tip: Bring ear plugs...
