Huang Chen Foot Spa — Local services in Edmonds

This place was recommended for its massage (with having the clothes on) and price. Like other parlors, the ambiance is somewhat quiet and dim inside.

There are 5-6 tables on each side of the room, creating an open space. If a table is available, they will take you almost immediately. However, be aware that they provide a full-body massage from head/face to toes.

From my experience, I do not believe every masseuse follows the same routine.

Towards the end, I stopped the masseuse from massaging. There was no communication, warning, or asking before he pulled up my shirt and lowered down my pants, leaving no covering towel at this point. There was a bit of giggles and exchange of words with the masseuse next to my table.

Having been to many massage parlors due to my time in the military, I say this place does not meet the standard.

It’s quite embarrassing to describe the massage honestly.

**For female clients, there are female masseuses available if you prefer. Set your boundaries before they begin. If their massage involves going under your clothes, it should be communicated beforehand. Actually, I expect this to happen if it was in a private room where both parties are aware what type of massage it is. You'd know your body will have to be exposed if you chose mineral oil/hot stones.

I will not be returning there. I have shared this experience with the person who recommended this place to me.

I hope this review helps future clients in some way and that the establishment considers this review to improve...

Last time I'll patronize this business. I have been their client for 4+ years. Although in the beginning the $30 massages were exceptional reinvigoration, starting this year, I've noticed and increasingly lower and lower in quality services, and that for a 30% increase in prices. Today it was that last time I will ever step foot in that place: the massage was more like light palm brushes despite my requests of some more pressure. I was doused with copious amounts of baby oil, than now I'll spend an eternity in a hot shower to get it off, and in the end I left as stiff as I came. When I was paying up, I pulled the rewards card: I had 9 visits, and with the current one I was going to have 10 so the next one was going to be free: I was informed that they do not honor the reward cards any longer. Then I was asked if I really forget to put any tip on the bill. No, actually it was in purpose. Like all good things, this too had...

As someone who has received and given massages for over 30 years, I have never had one this bad. I had a young guy in a black Nike shirt who must have only trained by watching others. He applied force across bone, ignored obvious knots, and at the end applied sharp pressure directly on my sciatic nerves in the buttocks. He then FOLLOWED the sciatic nerves using this sharp technique down my legs. I guess the facility uses some kind of grainy solution on your legs to buff your skin? Also have never had this in a massage. It was uncomfortable. I don't know what the intention was at the end, but he then also applied pressure to my back right over my stomach and jiggled me up and down, as if he was trying to give me the Heimlich or trigger a vomit response. I ran home for...
