The Waikiki Massage Clinic is awesome! The massages that I have received here have been exceptional! Let me give you some background on why I say that. The covid-19 pandemic has really hit the Hawaii economy hard. I had to go a few months without a massage, because of the lockdown. This was particularly painful due to a car accident that I had a few years ago, injuring my neck and right shoulder. My work aggravates the injury, so regular massages are necessary.
Now after Covid, besides the need for an excellent high quality massage (as opposed to a mediocre massage... you know what I'm talking about if you've gotten more than a few massages), I'm also concerned with cleanliness.
I found both at the Waikiki Massage Clinic. This has to be the cleanest massage environment I've ever seen. When you walk in the front door, you will see immediately when I mean. The owner, Jen, told me that they do deep cleanings on a regular basis, and it shows! The rooms are clean, the floor is clean, the linens/sheets are clean, and the bathroom is exceptionally clean. You get the idea, and you we'll see this for yourself when you walk in the front door. They greet you at the door with a temperature check to make sure that you do not have a fever. They are very safety conscious, from the therapists using masks, to the constant cleaning of everything.
All of this would be nice, but have little value if they didn't deliver a high-quality massage. The therapists that have worked on me, have been very skilled, with some having had many years of experience and training. This is refreshing, as sometimes you may get a massage from someone who doesn't have much skill or experience. This is not that kind of a massage. In fact the owner told me that she specifically hires therapists with experience, who know their trade. Each therapist has their own technique, but they all seem to do a little stretching, along with deep tissue and shiatsu. They will also walk on your back, if you I want them to work your pressure points with more pressure.
The owner, Jen, along with the majority of the therapists, speak English well, which is always helpful if you're trying to tell the therapist what hurts and what needs attention. You can call or text for an appointment.
Parking is pretty much the same with all the other businesses in the Century Center building. When you drive up, tell them you're going to the Waikiki Massage Clinic, and they'll give you a pass which you place in your car window. The parking costs you $2 with a validation from the clinic.
What initially got my attention to start going here (besides the cleanliness), was that they have the clearance to provide essential medical massage. So no need to wait two months between massages if things go on lockdown again, hopefully!
TLDR; super high-quality professional massage, incredibly clean environment, an owner that is responsive and helpful. If you're looking for a great massage, call Jen and book an...
Read moreIf your looking for a Great Massage and Personable Service this is the place!! I've had my fair share of Massage places and thought I found my favorite spot, but a Close Friend of mine had told me to try Waikiki Massage Clinic. My Old favorite spot wasn't able to accommodate me so I thought I'd give a call to Waikiki Massage Clinic. When I called them the Owner Jin coincidentally answered the phone, she was so Nice and accommodating to my Availability. I was able to go in that day, like anything new, you want to make sure they know what you are expecting from your time there. I explained to her my Massage preferences (Medium Hard, Deep tissue, Stretching etc.) She referred me to Nini who definitely exceeded my Massage expectations, she knew where to massage on me just by touching certain areas she knew how much pressure to apply. She was also very consistent from the start of my 2 Hour massage till the end. I've had a few massages where they start off strong, but eventually taper off.... Nini was Amazing!!! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to try this place out at least once. You will find yourself coming back soon after for the Relaxing Massage and Great Personable Service from Jin and her Masseuse Team!!! Thank you Jin and Nini, You both made me a...
Read moreI’ve been frequenting this place for the past year. It is clean, located over the Ala Wai bridge from Kalakuau avenue. The owner is polite and welcoming.
I get the 90 minute superior course massage which includes a hot stone massage. I also get a full body scrub as an add on. Usually, I always get Joy but it was her day off today and Kelly was available. Both are phenomenal and put a lot of effort into their work and they don't short you on time.
The reason I reduced my rating to 3 stars is because after have having read other reviews, I checked my receipts for any discrepancies. Similar to other reviewers, I am being overcharged because the $30.00 USD that I pay online to hold my reservation in advance, is not being reflected onto my final transactions.
I am hoping that this has not been intentionally done but I will make sure that I bring proof that I have made a $30.00 USD prepayment prior to my next massage. Hence, today, I should have only been charged $60($30 prepayment) for the 90 minute superior massage with the $30 body scrub equaling $90 USD. I'm a generous customer, always giving a 20% tip so here's hoping that the owner will read this and be...
