Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage Spa - Sports Arena — Local services in San Diego

9/17/2024: I finally tried the Asian Style Body & Foot Massage, which Happy Head is known for and HOLY MOLY! I’ve now had 4! Highly addicting. Both Amanda & AJ have been PHENOMENAL with these (both different experiences & I know who to book depending on what I need). 10/10!

1/27/2023: I was extremely stressed and holding a lot of tension in my back & neck earlier this month. I called Happy Head and scheduled a last minute massage for that evening. My 2 usual preferred massage therapists weren't working that night or were already booked, so I was scheduled with Jackson. Not only is he my new preferred therapist. This might've been the best massage I've ever had. FOR SURE top 3 and I've had them all over the world for relaxation, pain, sports injuries and sore muscles.

Jackson was incredible from the moment he began! He identified exactly where I needed what within a minute or two and some of his technique was unlike any other therapist I've experienced. Made a HUGE difference especially in my back & neck.

I also have plantar fasciitis, so I requested a full 15 minute on my calves & feet. That was wonderful!

Oh! And he probably impromptu spent more time on my head than anyone ever has at Happy Head and that is something I find incredibly relaxing.

I'll be requesting Jackson first from now on! :)

Front office staff on phone & in-person was as good as ever as well! Have never had an issue with anyone at Happy Head Point Loma. Everyone is always friendly and has beautiful energy.

Been coming for over a year now & this remains my Go To.

4/25/2022: Everything at Happy Head in Point Loma is ALWAYS great! Customer service at the front desk is super friendly & efficient, their ability to schedule a last minute appt is awesome, and their flexibility when/if something goes wrong on my end (which it did this past time).

My massage therapist, Lee, is a master at his craft. I always request him now. I've gotten both deep tissue and Swedish massages from him. If you need very deep pressure, he's got you! If you'd like medium pressure (like I now do), he can do that as well & still be incredibly effective without leaving me incredibly sore the day after. The pressure is great and he's in tune with where I carry my stress. Plus, he'll focus on the areas I request (he only speaks Mandarin, so I just tell them at the front desk & they communicate it). He's respectful and efficient. Very happy with every massage I've had thus far!

They also have their atmosphere perfectly dialed in to exactly the vibe I want when I need to relax, decompress & unplug for 90 minutes. It's the perfect temperature, it's VERY clean, it's a bit darker for mood lighting, their music is at a good volume and their massage tables are wider than most I've found. LOVE this place! As does my husband who sometimes...

We were 5 minutes late to our appointment but they didn't start our session until nearly 20 minutes after the appointment time for some reason. They also ended the session early. We made an appointment for two foot rubs and didn't realize they gave you a full body rub. I usually wouldn't be upset about this but because you're in a communal room with others getting similar treatments, you're unable to undress. I wish that was an option because they use lotion to massage your head, neck and upper back area. They use baby oil to massage your calves and feet. My massage therapist got baby oil on my pants and stained them. Thankfully the lotion did not stain my shirt. When massaging your head, the bed/table you're on sounds like two balloons being forcefully, and constantly rubbed together right in your ear (annoying and not relaxing at all!). They also start the treatment with your feet in lukewarm water while they work on your upper body and by the time they make it to your feet, the water is cold (again, not relaxing). My massage therapist started my foot rub a good 5 minutes after my partner and then spent the next 5 minutes giving me a one-handed foot rub while being distracted on his phone. My therapist also favored one side of my body which made me feel "uneven". Lastly, just as others have expressed, we experienced the awkwardness of being prompted to tip and get cash out of the ATM while our massage therapists stood and watched us. Was hoping for a more relaxing experience overall and have no...

My boyfriend and I went in for the Asian fusion massage and he ended up having a completely different experience than I did. Lucky him.

The front desk staff seemed a little discombobulated but were pleasant. Okay, whatever no big deal. Then we get walked back to the room which was peaceful and relaxing. Great. I started to get a little excited for the experience since it had been such a long time since I had gotten a massage. That faded very quickly when my “therapist” started mashing my forehead into bits for the facial/head massage. My hair was damp from showering beforehand which seemed to annoy him because he would forcefully yank it out of the way when painfully rubbing my neck. I’ve never had an Asian fusion massage but repeated forceful rubbing in one area seems wrong? He was actually getting a little winded with how much effort he was using to tenderize me. I mean I’m a snack but I ain’t no sirloin…The remainder of the massage consisted of more forceful rubbing, jabbing elbows, the therapist leaving the room a few times, coughing on my body, and an almost pile-drive into my back. I was in such shock at was happening that I never spoke up so that’s on me but after reading some of the other comments, it seems to be a common theme. My boyfriend on the other hand said his therapist was great and actually had some finesse.

I don’t know my therapist’s name but he was a middle aged man. Maybe request a female...
