Will start by saying I have had a lot of massages in my lifetime. I came here with my partner for a relaxing massage while on vacation - It was everything but that. I had a male masseuse and he was so rude and rough. Upon entering the room, he didn't like that my hair wasn't up, so he yanked it all together and put it up in a clip. He was so brutally rough on my body that I haven't been able to move my neck since. He did not ask me about pressure or areas to avoid - he also had no rhyme or reason for where he was putting pressure. I am unable to make swift movements without my neck seizing up because of this man. Oh and the body scrub? They put it on you completely dry so it feels like sand is ripping apart your skin. You are supposed to lather this with a little water to account for people with more sensitive skin....it's not dry brushing. Trust the multiple reviews on here that say it's too rough and they sustained injuries - it's true!
Avoid this place and go to one of the spas or higher end places- it's cheap...
Read moreRolled into Palm Springs after a stint out in Joshua Tree where I’d been kipping under the stars like some half-baked swagman, and my shoulders had turned into corrugated iron. Spotted a joint called Best Foot Forward Spa and thought, why not? The name alone sounded like it meant business.
Walked in, place was spotless, quiet, and had that calm vibe that makes you drop your guard straight away. I went for a 30-minute seated massage ~ the express package for battered travellers.

The bloke working on me knew his way around a knot, checked in just enough to make sure the pressure was right, which is a polite way of saying I nodded and thought, mate, don’t you dare stop.
Left the place feeling less like a rusted farm fence and more like a new man. If you’re in Palm Springs and your body feels like it’s been through a washing machine, stick your head in here. They’ll...
Read moreMy wife and I recently got a custom couples massage at The Best Foot Forward Spa, and we were very impressed. Although we weren't sure what was custom about it, the full body massage, with a stronger focus on the legs and feet, was fantastic. We've had many massages before, and this one stands out.
Pros: Relaxing music Excellent pacing of the massage Clean and tidy environment Full body experience was a plus Air conditioning Multiple payment options Great discount options Easy to schedule
Cons: Not very communicative Pressure was about a 6-7 out of 10 for deep tissue Could hear others outside the room No feedback check; they just used their standard methods Uncomfortable headrest, left mine and my wife's nose sore
Despite a few minor issues, we both loved our experience and definitely recommend this place if you're feeling tense from a...
