V&V Foot Massage Spa — Local services in Philadelphia

Cute place up a flight of stairs located in an Asian strip mall. Called ahead and when I arrived, they were ready for me. I got a 30 min foot/60 min body combo. Foot massage was first and done in the comfy massage chairs in front room. They did a short foot soak but the water level was very low so it barely covered my feet. The reflexology massage was very nice; not too hard but not too light. From there they transferred me to a massage table in the large room that was cordoned off by a curtain. Due to the discomfort of the table and the low ambiance of not being in a private room, I took off one star. In addition to the table being very low, the head hole was extremely uncomfortable (some spas but extra padding in that area) plus there was barely any room for the therapist to move around. I mean about 18" from the table to the wall! The therapist must be extremely skilled to move in this space. I had a male therapist and he did a great job with pressure and checking in during the massage.

Lucy is petite but strong! I called ahead for a same day 30 minute foot massage. Afterwards, she up sold me on a 30 minute back, neck and shoulder massage, and it was awesome!!! I'm so glad I did it. She also included my scalp and arms. I hold a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders and she did an amazing job working out some kinks within 30 minutes. I have to go back regularly to fully benefit, and I will definitely book a full body massage next time. The location is no frills, but it's clean and inexpensive compared to a fancy day spa. Also, there are two price lists. One for cash payments and one that's more expensive for credit card payments, so make sure to bring cash if you want the...

Just don't do it. The environment was scary, I should have walked out immediately, it felt like something shady I've seen in bad cop dramas. The foot massage was HORRIBLE. It hurt the entire time. I asked on several occasions for them to be more gentle. They literally laughed as I winced in pain. I should have left. I wish I would have left. Several days later my feet still hurt. I think they enjoy hurting non-asian customers. Beware. And leave if you don't feel safe. ...
