Chinese Foot Massage — Local services in Naperville

I treated my friend for a reflexology foot massage to help destress us. I am very familiar with other massage franchises, however with a tight budget, I thought this would be a great alternative and booked us both a 90 min foot and back massage. Well, I have to say this was a unique experience and this is why. They are located in a strip mall - a typical scenario for most massage parlors. When you enter you immediate notice a large wall mounted TV screen to your left with multiple images of the massage rooms. I assume this is how they monitor which rooms are available, but be aware, your massage is not private but open to viewing for anyone coming in the door and/or employers at the front desk. The above surveillance camera and video feed of each room is important to know about as you read on. So as my experience has taught me with massage places, your street clothing is not important as you are given a robe for your back exposure to receive a massage. However; this place does not provide. My jeans were a tight boot cut so I could not raise the pant legs above my calves, so my male masseuse (I'm assuming trained) did provide me with some shorts to change into. My friend however, did not get this but was asked by her female masseuse to remove her shirt and bra. Remember the Surveillance video at the front desk turned so the public can see? Here are my personal critiques and points of satisfaction: 3 Points for overall Back massage: The massages are done on top of your clothes and with a towel on top of that. Not comfortable as it's hot and the added pressure needed to get through the layers of material, the massage which is not comfortable or relaxing. 1 Point for Neck & shoulder massage: I had a male masseuse who was very polite and did not want to ask me to take my shirt off so he massaged my neck and shoulders through my shirt neck hole. Very awkward and the pressure used left my back bruised. I had to ask him to please lessen the pressure as it was painful. 4 points for Foot and leg massage: I was able to choose the water soluble solution for my feet. Water was in a plastic lined bucket, so cleanliness was high priority which I appreciated and the scent was pleasing. 4 points for cleanliness of facility: Really liked the layout and the even though they had 3 massage tables next to each other, each table was separated by a thick sheer curtain making it seem secluded. (-1) points for public visual of massage tables: Maybe it's a western culture thing, but public exposure is not my thing. I personally did not have this issue (other than changing to shorts) my friend was shirtless and her jeans were pulled below her buttocks' and her masseuse was on top of her contorting her backwards exposing her bare breasts (not on purpose) but it happened. 3 points for payment convenience: They use the app Zelle for payment, which I have access to, rather than cash or...

Chinese Foot Massage always does an amazing job! This is the place to go when you need to relax and work out tension in your body!

What to expect:

The massage in a community room, so there will be other people in the room getting massages with you. You lie down face up on a flat sofa with your clothes on (men normally take their shirts off and as a female I like to just wear a loose tank top) and the masseuse massages your head/neck, arms, feet/legs. Also, your feet will be placed in a tub of warm/hot water until removed to be massaged. Then you turn over to lie on your stomach and they massage your back with oil. They have different variations of massages you can get, but the above is describing the $28/hr selection.

Tips:

Always tip. Go multiple times; if you have a great masseuse, ask for their name. Then you can request them in the future! I also recommend calling ahead and scheduling an appointment, especially if you want to ask for a strong/firm massage.

Overall:

I have had some disappointing massages here, but overall they have been great and you really can't beat $28! Warning: Their firm/strong massages can be intense so ask for them at your own risk and communicate if it’s too much for you. Also, there can be some English language barriers with the office staff, but overall they are good to work with.

Keep an open mind and open communication and enjoy the amazing health...

I got scammed. Ive been so stressed lately and unable to sleep that I thought a massage would help, and I've also been wanting a scalp treatment. I found this place online and the reviews were pretty good. I called via phone and booked a 1 hr massage for $50 and a 1 hr scalp treatment for $90 (confirmed 3x). Upon arrival the guy at the front asked if I wanted to add a facial for $10 more, making it $150. I agreed (90+50+10=$150). Fast forward, (scalp treatment did feel really good, even tho I had to listen to a woman go Karen mode because she was forcing her 11 yr old to get a scalp treatment that she clearly did not want because she was uncomfortable and mom insisted on being in the room and the little girl just cried) I digress. When asked to pay he told me $150 only for the head scalp. Said it was $140 for 90 minutes and $10 extra for facial. I guess it was my fault for assuming we were talking about what I originally booked when he said 10 extra because I didn't think I was being taken advantage of. I decided to leave without the massage and more anxiety than I arrived. $180 and no massage. I cried all the way home just so disappointed. I recommend you confirm price before getting service and maybe pay for it in advance. Oh and I received 4 missed calls from them during my scalp...
