Relaxing Station — Local services in Boulder

TINA is the BEST! She is so thorough, follows the pressure scale accurately, and caters each massage to the areas you request need most attention, or what she feels needs more. I wish I could have her every single time!! I’ve been there 2 days in a row, just because of how incredible Tina was - needed to come back for more. Luckily I got her again today!! Would’ve paid extra for her.

She definitely seems to have the most experience, and understands the anatomy of the body accurately. From my experience, she gets the spots with most tension to the very source, and works out the knots until they’re relaxed. She’ll even take extra time to work on your neck, and base of the scull which I feel some people tend to forget or avoid if they’re not as experienced (this is the area I need most attention, so I’m grateful). After she finishes, she’ll take a moment to apply pressure to the scalp and temples, which is a great way to end the experience.

She seems to be the only masseuse who checks in about the pressure and if it’s accurate to your scale request. I appreciate that, and would be great if all employees could implement that practice.

I think she is the manager or owner, so the employees often come to her for direction - further proving her experience.

I’ve been coming here once a week for about 3 years, and there’s a reason I keep coming back for more.

Yesterday, there was a really rude and difficult customer who had no patience for the employee checking her out, yelling “change!!” At him, horribly. Sounded like she wanted change and wouldn’t give him a tip. The employee handled it with grace, and Tina stepped in to help him translate quickly. They handled it with patience and tried their best to accommodate the customer.

I will say, there are times when a whole group 6 may come in and speak very loudly, disrupting the tranquility of the environment. Today specifically that happened, and the group proceeded to engage in conversation so loudly. It was frustrating.

I would request that signs are put up around the space requesting quiet to respect other customer’s and the overall ambiance. Or, if someone is speaking loudly, for the employees to kindly ask them to lower their volume.

Overall, this business is FANTASTIC!!! So affordable, efficient (begin service within 2-5 minutes of arriving), and professional. They are open 10-10 every day, which is great for working folks like me.

I won’t need a professional, overly expensive massage again. Relaxing station...

Very affordable. Practical and Effective. Substance over style, and better for it.

If you want to go pay $120-200 for a mediocre massage there are plenty of places in Boulder happy to take your money. This place doesn't pretend to be a fancy-pants oasis. Instead it is a modest pleasant place to get a really solid good massage. They do pressure points, deep tissue, lots of other stuff and they are literally half the price or less of inferior places. Their most expensive massages are 60 minutes at 49 dollars! You should tip, but even after tip that's still super reasonable. And I really respect their integrity and class to not require tip. I went to a "high end" place that automatically applied a gratuity and felt kinda insulted tbqh.

This place knows it has good service, knows it's a great value, and just provides you with that value.

Apparently there are some people out there that don't want to get a massage to get a good massage, but to play pretend at being a pampered prince or princess of fluffy pillow and tropical leaf palace. There are tons of style over substance places out there for them.

This place is not for them. This place, as far as I can tell, is one of the only substance over style places in Boulder that just gets the job done at a really really good value. Also they accept walk ins.

I don't give tons of 5/5's (3/5 is the default rating), but this place deserves it...

I've been here 4 times for a massage and I really enjoy it. Here's a rough idea of what it's like for someone who's never been before.

This is an open massage store. When you walk in, you will see chairs for foot massages, tables for body massages. It's big, quiet, clean, with lots of available staff. The 4 times I've been here I've never had to wait, even on a Sunday afternoon.

Majority of the staff are Chinese men (some women). They don't speak a lot of English but they have a sign in sheet where you can indicate the massage you want and your desired pressure level. Everything is fast and efficient there.

When it's time to check out, they provide free bottled water. There's a piece of paper where you will write down how much you would like to tip. They charge an extra $1 for card payments so I always pay with cash.

Overall I've always had great experiences there. $37 for a 1hr full body massage is really reasonable, and they really do a good job. This is a great place if you're looking for a quick and deep massage. Not so much if you're looking for something like a...
