Foot Massage — Local services in Los Angeles

I have been here 3 times so far, once with a friend when someone she knew recommended it to her, and two times after that by myself when I really needed to wind down.

In a nutshell, I describe this place as a no-frills (describing the curtains for makeshift walls) place with skilled masseus' and I'd rather go here at less than half the price for an awesome massage than other fancier places with fluent English speaking staff. If you can try and understand what they are trying to tell you without getting annoyed or upset then you may enjoy it as much as I do. I can tell you now, they will touch you in more places than just your feet so don't go in a prude!

The place is very dark once past the reception area and each of the massage stations are separated by heavy curtains that serve as dividers and walls for privacy, so it's not that sound proof which is fine I guess since there shouldn't be very much active chatter going on anyway. It's so dark that you have to maneuver carefully as to not trip over anything or anyone on your way to your massage station. The place says foot massage but it's more like an all-over body massage.

The first time my friend and I didn't know what to expect and thought we would probably just pull up our pant legs up to our knee or something but they will tell you to remove your clothes down to your undergarment. The lady said something that sounded like "You have tissue?" really meant "Take off t-shirt". I took off my shirt, and she came back and told me something that I figured out meant take off pants too. She gave me a towel to cover up my body with, and had me lie down on my back while my feet were dunked in a vat of hot water that made me yelp in surprise at first because my feet wasn't ready for such a shock of hot water, then eased them back in slowly as my feet quickly got used to the water.

She started off massaging my face, and it made me cringe a bit because I had my basic make-up on with foundation, eye make-up and filled in eyebrows and it was as if she was determined to rub off what makeup I put on my eyebrows and spread it out over my face, oblivious of my foundation and blush she now had on her hands from my face, and proceeded to rub her fingers and hands into my hair, giving me a nice firm scalp massage. My face makeup was now all over my hair -_-;; note to self-'bring a make-up remover moist towelette next time.'

My arms and legs got a rub down with some type of light oil, with my body still covered in the big towel and she lifts the towel just enough to uncover the section of the body she is working on. and my feet got taken out of the water and massaged. I then was told to lie on my stomach with my face in a towel-lined hole, and my bra strap was unhooked to open up my back for massage. A nice surprise was a set of hot stones they used to massage on my back at one point after she oiled down the back. I think I recalled them using two set of smooth hot stones foe the 70 min. massage vs one set for 60 min.

The first two times I had lady masseuses and I liked one of them, Sophia, enough to remember her name to request for her when I called to make an appointment for my 3rd visit. But it was her day off, so I said whoever. Well, that whoever turned out to be a male masseus which I would have asked for a lady instead had I known ahead of time but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything to feel uncomfortable anyways so I didn't complain. Boy, was it a great massage! He definitely had much firmer hands and though sometimes it took all I had to hold it my painful cry at times, all the tense kinks in my body were eliminated. I really like strong massages so I was in heaven, and it definitely is more labor intensive to give forth such energy for a full hour, so I happily tipped more. If your massage pain tolerance level is higher like me, make sure to request Mason. If you want gentler but still firm massage, then Sophia may be a good choice for you. I've had three massages here and each time I seemed to luck out with stronger...

If i could give this place zero stars i would! I don’t understand how this establishment has not been shut down by now. My boyfriend and I came in for a massage and we both decided to get the 1 hour 1/2 foot 1/2 full body massage option. To say we received an hour is a joke and to say we received a “massage” is an even bigger joke. The people massaging us started late and then answered phone calls every 2 minutes and stepped out to take the phone calls each time, again deducting from our massage time. They kept yelling back and fourth at eachother in Chinese and English and then proceeded to break both of our backs by what i assume was them taking out their argument with eachother on our bodies during the massage. Even though we both requested they gave a soft pressure massage several times, they didn’t care, they pressed and kneaded so hard we are both completely...

My friend and I went to Foot Massage last night for the first time. We both had full body - 70 minute massages which were great. The girl was very sensitive to any time she was massaging too hard and lightened up appropriately. I had no problem with their service or pricing.

However, as we were getting dressed, we noticed that they did not change out the towels or sheets on the massage tables. They just straightened them out. We were horrified..... If I go back, I will certainly request that they change the sheets while...
