Mozi Foot Spa

i purchased a Groupon for a couples combo massage and made an appointment for Sunday afternoon right away. I received TWO confirmations: an email and a text message. All we had to do was show up. When we did, the lady in charge told us she had no app’t for us and we should come back ‘tomorrow’. When we said, «No, we can’t do that» she then said, «Come back 1 hour». We showed her our confirmations, but she didn’t seem to care so we left. Please also note that NO ONE was in the chairs except 1 person (an employee) who was relaxing. This is also not one of your soothing, relaxing spas with darkened rooms and music. As soon as you walk in the door, the chairs are right there so anyone who enters will disturb you. There are many, many more choices… especially in China Town!!!

Had a very nice massage with Lucy today, she is strong and definitely made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I tried a groupon for $ 35 and definitely well worth it. I didn’t give it 5 stars because well I think those are hard to come by. All in all, I will be visiting again.

Wonderful experience! The staff was kind and skilled. We’ll definitely be back!

VERY disappointing experience. Did the 30−30−30 deal and was inexplicably cut short 10 minutes on the body work and 10 minutes on the foot rub!
The 20 minutes of body work I did get was great. The foot rub however was incredibly weak. The atmosphere is very nice, though you can hear everything with other customers as well.
I confronted the man on the way out about the time and he did not fight it at all when I said I was not tipping as a result. I would guess they do this often so beware if you go here!!!

Very thorough and professional. One of the best massages I have had in years. Very nice staffs as well.

Had my most relaxing day here. The workers are amazing and their massaging techniques are even better! My boyfriend and I got the couples 90 min massage on groupon and it was the best purchase ever! If you want a relaxing day you need to come here! They make magic here hahahaha. But really they do wonders!

I cannot say enough great things about this place! My first time I was a little skeptical. However, Jack put me at ease and took great care of my ailments. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem. I can’t say enough good things about it — and they always squeeze me in!

I got the Groupon for the 90min combo body work/​reflexology and I was so pleased. It seemed like maybe they weren’t actually expecting me when I arrived, since I made my appointment through Groupon and I don’t think they had checked it or something, but either way I was invited right in. Both the reflexology and the body work was awesome. I could probably do 90 minutes of just the body work. Really nice pressure and then a lovely hot towel to finish.
The steam treatment on my legs got a little hot for my comfort but I just asked to turn it down and then it felt nice. He also brought me a bottle of cold water.
I would definitely go back, the price was good and I was definitely impressed!

I always like to check out groupon when I’m in a new area and found myself wanting some pampering after my first week here in the Boston area and the 90 minute groupon seemed to be the right service for the right price.
A recurring theme in my leisure time is difficulty finding parking and this was no exception. I had treated myself to steak and left my car in the parking lot there and walked down the block to my appointment, but have no idea where I would have parked otherwise.
I arrived at my appointment an hour early and had seen that walk ins were welcome so I wasn’t worried. I was greeted like a welcome friend by the lady at check in and was taken to a private area for my massage. I was instructed to take off my shirt and lay face down on the table. It appeared to be a normal massage table covered in towels and blankets, with a paper towel covering the area where you lay your face.
After a moment or two, the gentleman performing the massage came in and got to work. He covered me with a sheet and performed the bodywork over the sheet, not using any lotions or creams. The massage was quite pleasant to be honest. I get regular massages and wasn’t really expecting much, so it was a surprise.
After the half hour massage, I was told to put my shirt back on and then escorted to a chair. My feet were placed in a warm bucket of water. While they were soaking, the massage room was turned over for the next guest.
The half hour massage was very nice too. It was a nice moderate pressure and very relaxing.
The steam wasn’t my favorite. The position of the steam chamber became uncomfortable after about 10 minutes and 10 more after that, the steam was just too hot and I ended up taking my legs and feet out.
I’d like to go back and try the hour accupressure foot massage. But, I need to do a little more research on the parking situation first.

A sweet mom and pop shop. I’m always greeted with a hug from Lucy and get AMAZING foot massages from Jack and their son, Eric. Clean, kind, and relaxing. I’ve gone two times now in the past week since it’s absolute bliss! A true treat!

I’ve visited Mozi three (3) times now. During each visit I had the same service performed — the 60 minute foot spa & bath. This was a Groupon deal. I found the spa to be clean, an extremely relaxing milieu with piano music playing and a small water stream running in the background. These service started out with back work and arm work, then I was seated with a comfortable & warm blanket in a very relaxing chair while my feet and legs were worked on. The staff was professional, well trained in their craft and I haven’t felt this relaxed and at peace in a very long time. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for an inexpensive and approachable massage and/​or specialty massage therapy body work and foot work. I LOVE MOZI FOOT SPA!

I did the 90 minute foot reflexology /​foot steam bath /​body work. I had a female therapist. The foot reflexology was good. Not the best but not bad either. The foot steam bath was a huge waste of time/​money. After about 20 minutes of having my feet in a big wooden bucket with some steam being pumped in I flagged her down and said «enough». Total waste of time. The body rub was meh. Not enough pressure and in 30 minutes, not much can be accomplished.
I’d probably go back but only for the reflexology. The price is pretty cheap too.

I’ve had bodywork done here before and it was quite good. The problem now is that I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment for a week. I’ve been calling 1 – 2 times each day. They haven’t answered the phone at all, their voicemail doesn’t identify the name of the business, and they certainly haven’t returned any calls (I’ve left two very polite messages).
IS THIS PLACE STILL OPEN? The latest problem I’ve experienced with their phone (as of today) is an endless busy signal. If they’re still in business, they need to get their act together at this point.

2.5 Stars
I’m glad to see that Mozi’s page is better off now than when I first visited them last year — but I’m kind of disappointed with my last visit here. I was genuinely excited to come back; I hardly ever visit Boston and when I do, I usually don’t have the time to get a massage.
I used a Groupon and got the Body Work and Reflexology w/​Foot Bath. The body work this time was pretty meh. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great either. It wasn’t Andy who worked with me this time, and I don’t even remember the guy’s name; all I remember was that he was older and probably middle-​aged. He definitely used too much oil because my hair stuck to my back afterward. Blegh.
The reflexology this time around was super mediocre and disappointing. I mean — it’s the reason I came! Even though I was the only person there that day, the man working on me definitely rushed through it. He didn’t ask about the pressure or if I needed specific areas to be focused on; he just kind of went through the motions of a foot rub and let me steam afterward. During my foot bath, he left and the water got super hot. Usually, I have an insane tolerance for hot water, but that water was scalding; it actually felt cold, that’s how hot it was. It took awhile for me to wave him down and tell him about the water; but all he did was take my feet out of the water and remove the foot bath completely. I hadn’t even been soaking for five minutes. After my feet rested/​recovered for a bit, he pretty much gave me a bottle of water and rushed me out.
I don’t know — it just felt a little disappointing that my two experiences could be so different. I see Groupons for them all the time, so maybe I’ll check out Mozi again and ask if Andy is still there; but right now, I’m just feeling a little put-​off about the whole thing.

This review is not for the service itself since they screwed up my appointment time. I had called friday evening and ask the woman on the phone what time do they open on tomorrow (Saturday). She said 9am. I ask if I could come at that time to do my foot spa. She said ok. So Saturday came, we came at 9:05, the place was closed. A sign said they don’t open til 10. Hello? Do you not know what time you are open the next day? I called and left a message about being there at 9 and no one was there. I ask them to call me back to reschedule. Today is Wednesday and no one has even bother to return my call from Saturday morning. From this I don’t think I will be coming here.

I’ve been to several body work and reflexology places. I got a gift for a 90 minute combo. They do what I call an ‘asian style’ massage which is normal to get a massage over a sheet/​towel then the normal body rub. And it’s normal for them to go on the bed! I see reviews where people freak out but that’s just a different way of massage. I’ve had it several times in different states. And the curtain Isn’t weird either.
Anyways, first was a 30 minute body work. It was okay just a lot of pressing down over the sheet, effleurage (rubbing) and then some petrissage (beating) at the end. The woman I had was decent with the pressure. But it was nothing too special. I felt like she needed more flow.
After the body work, I was sat down in the chairs and soaked my foot in some lukewarm water for about 10 minutes. I wish it was warmer. Borderline cold.
The foot massage/​reflexology was for 30 minutes. I am used to massage therapists who use way more pressure but like I said this lady was decent. No bruises.
The last part was a 30 minute foot steam. This I’ve never had! Pretty cool. It got quite hot but I like it. I don’t think the average person could handle it. The receptionist guy was nice and kept checking on me. But Damn that steam made my legs and foot baby bottom soft. Ahha.
Not bad for the price paid $ 39(original is $ 110) But I probably wouldn’t return. I’ve been to better places in boston. I tipped off the original. $ 20.

If you are looking for chic spa look elsewhere… but if you are looking for a great relaxing foot massage at a reasonable price you have found it. The place is clean and big comfy chairs are adjustable.
I have had many massages in lots of different venues and I think I would take this at face value. It is reflexology and not meant to be what most people think of as a massage. It is relaxing and relieves the tension and stress.
I would go back and will recommend it to friends!

I redeemed a Groupon here today for a 90 minute package — 30 mins of bodywork, 30 mins foot massage/​reflexology and 30 mins foot steam.
Sure, the décor is a little outdated and it doesn’t have the tranquil ambiance of a fancy upscale spa, but overall I thought it was great.
I did read through some of the Unilocal reviews before going and they were quite harsh.
It’s not a massage, it’s a body rub. That’s why it’s advertised as bodywork rather than a massage.
The reflexology was incredibly relaxing, especially in combination with the steam.
I can see myself buying another Groupon for this.

Very good. I’ve been to a number of places for foot «reflexology» and this ranks among the best. Clean and courteous service.
I wouldn’t necessarily go there for a full body massage, they are not massage therapists, it’s a body rub. But definitely worth going for your feet.
I think any of the earlier negative comments probably came from people who had never been to something like this before. It’s a learning experience. You want a massage, go to a massage therapist.

Like many other Unilocalers, I came here with a Groupon. I had purchased a 90 minute bodywork and foot massage package and ended up asking for the reflexology only, based on reviewers’ negative massage experiences. I’m glad I did and I will likely return.
Setting: What the heck are you people complaining about with the setting?! It’s not a 5 star hotel spa, but it’s quite comfortable, gently lit, quiet, and clean. Much more attractive than I was expecting from reviews. Sure, they keep it sanitary with slightly-​worse-​for-​wear-​towels and they lug around buckets for foot soaking. But it’s also wicked cheap, comparable to other places in the area.
Service: Fabulous. From accommodating a last-​minute reservation request, to accepting my shift of desired services upon arrival, to the treatment itself, it was all so nice. It is true that only a couple people there can do more than exchange the basics in English, and this was a bit annoying when I was trying to communicate a particular discomfort at one point.
Reflexology: Next time, I might ask for more pressure where possible, but wow, it felt amazing. The woman working with me was capable and strong and was definitely adjusting her technique to particularly tense or sensitive areas as she went.
They ended my session with a 30-​minute «steam» session, a makeshift portable sauna that left me looking a bit like a boiled lobster from the knees down. It felt great. This is a weird thing to say, but I felt like I smelled worse afterwards and the way it felt was like it really had pulled toxins out of me. Make of this what you will, Unilocalers.
re: the «mysterious lotion” – it was light, non-​greasy, and didn’t smell perfumed. I assume it’s similar to the bulk lotion they use at every nail place I have ever to. I have very sensitive skin and this lotion did not bother me.
