Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage – Rancho San Diego

Wonderful massage boutique. Friendly front office staff, super affordable and knowledgeable therapist.

WOW! The Asian foot massage is simply amazing. I will never again pay for a spa pedicure when I can have this instead. Great experience from beginning to end and I can’t wait to go back again!

I always have the best massages here. Private rooms and group room, and free glass of wine. What more could you ask for? There are always promotions or discounts to be found. You cant beat the price.

I made an appointment for 5pm online via their website at lunch time. My schedule can change quickly so I emailed Tania back and made it for 5:30pm (I hate being late anywhere)
Turns out I ended up pulling up to their spa at 4:30pm. I was expecting to check in and go sit in my car or shop around for and hour (great local stores around the plaza)
Tania took me right back to meet Lisa.
Lisa was professional, talented and very intuitive with her hands.
I had the head, foot and hands massage which included back… for a whole hour! $ 35 fee is just not fair for this treat. Please tip generously, these ladies are amazing.
I will definitely be back, thank you!

Complete turn around!
Went in to see Lisa and she did an incredible Swedish massage! Not too talkative but I think I fell asleep sometime in the massage anyway.
The receptionist was also very kind and helpful.

I had two great experiences at Happy Head. I purchased two different massages, and each one was very relaxing, loosening up a lot of stiff muscles and increasing the flexibility in my neck and lower back. I had the same masseuse both times; she was quite accommodating and extremely knowledgeable in massage technique and practice.
The rooms are clean, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the staff seems to be very professional. One thing I was impressed with is that they kept in communication with me after the massage. Within 30 minutes after both massages, I received an email coupon for my next visit. Their website is also very well put together, and describes each massage and price.
I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

I decided to get a massage today on the spur of the moment at Happy Head and it was WONDERFUL! Just walked in and they were able to take me in right away. Jack was my masseuse and it may truly have been the best massage I have ever had. Definitely recommend this place!

Great overall experience my back has never felt better. I’ll be going back and on a regular basis!

Okay, I’ve never given any negative reviews but my experience here was horrible and extremely disappointing.
Besides the receptionist who was super sweet and remained in control after 6 people walk in at the same time hovering over her desk.
So massages are supposed to be relaxing and stress free right? Wrong! Well at least at this place. The entire time I was clenching down on my teeth and making my body so tense. I had to ask the man giving me my massage several, several times to back off the pressure and not have such a tight grip. I mean my body language said it all I was obviously not enjoying it.
I also had to ask him to please re-​apply the oil or lotion on his hands or my body because it would get to a point where it was just skin to skin rubbing and let me tell you how unpleasant that was it was like getting an Indian burn. It didn’t help that he only spoke little English also. I kid you not I went in with no pain and this morning I feel like someone danced all over my back.
The entire massage was such a waste of an hour and $ 55 dollars. The whole time I was thinking about getting up and leaving or just ending it early… like 10 minutes in early.

I found them last week because I was looking for something open on Sunday for a massage. I wasn’t disappointed. I had the Swedish massage and liked it, but just to change things up, I will probably go for the Asian or Thai massage next. I will go back, and I definitely recommend them.

I am sure they get this a lot, but when first visiting «Happy Head» I was not sure what to expect. It’s an Asian inspired décor honest to goodness massage parlor managed excellently and staffed by the best masseurs. I recently started working out again and was extremely sore. Luckily for me I was gifted a 2 hour card here and am very thankful for it. The massage was great. You lie face down, dark room relaxing music and for 2 hours they massage away your pain from head to toe. They then turn you over and complete on front side. I was twisted into ways I have never imagined before. My soreness was lessened and I will be coming back. Thank you so much to the awesome staff there! Don’t be afraid this is a good place!

This place is ok… and just ok. I paid for the body and foot massage up front and was then ushered into a dark relaxation room. I was surprised that the room was so pitch black, I could hardly see the beds I was tripping over.
I was also suprised that they had no recommendation for what type of clothing to wear. On the website is says ‘partially clothed, Asian style’ yet I wore my street clothes and wasn’t offered a robe. I didnt have a chance nor was I asked to specify any areas of concern that I would like to have worked on. I told the receptionist that I had a back injury with nerve damage but the man didnt ask about it at all. He just walked up with a trash bag lined bucket and said hello then I laid down for the massage to begin. With my bad back it was quite uncomfortable to lay with no support and my feet hung over the bed draped in a bucket of water.
The massage was OK but I got the feeling that in no way was the man certified. He massaged my head, rubbing oil or lotion into my hair then worked on my neck and shoulders. I have been under tremendous stress lately but instead of accupressure to work out my kinks, he basically pushed my knots under my shoulder blades so 20 minutes after leaving, I’m in tremendous pain and can hardly move my arm.
My foot message was no better than paying an extra 10 bucks for a longer pedicure message. When he flipped me over to work on my back he used very strong pressure even after I expressed my displeasure. It hurt! Messages aren’t supposed to hurt!
All in all, it was worth the money for sure. If your used to getting messages this probably isn’t the place for you. I was also uncomfortable with the man waiting outside the door afterwards in anticipation of his tip. It was just weird. It’s worth a try because it wasn’t all that bad, it just wasn’t all that good. Oh… make sure you don’t go in with your hair looking presentable because I did and I left with a greasy afro!

Cindy was absolutely amazing changed my life i was in so much pain and she really got the kinks out. Tanya at the desk was great and really informative. Ill definitely be back

This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star, first off the front desk lady was extremely rude and unprofessional and had no experience in customer service. The place was dark and lacked décor, and when we requested a female masseus, we were told they only had male available, being a woman, that made me extremely uncomfortable to have a male and I told them I wouldn’t have a male and had to come back 2 hours later than my apptmt time to get a female, the massage was rushed and painful and they climb on you like a jungle gym, not worth the money and I left there more sore than when I went in, very disappointed. They also follow you out and stand right by your side waiting for their tip.

In the past I was going to the Asian massage place up the street. This place does cost a bit more but is definitely better. Larger, nicer and cleaner facility and at $ 35 per hour it’s still far from expensive and I’ve been back weekly since trying them out.

My husband and I decided to go here on a Friday night to relax. I made an appointment a few hours prior, and when we got there the place was quiet and had some music in the background.
Cons:
1. We were asked to pay first. Different, but whatever I guess.
2. We were not asked about any injuries or medical conditions.
3. We were not asked if we had any problem areas, or areas to be focused on.
4. We were never asked a gender preference. My husband and I both ended up with male masseuses.
5. My masseuse was very hurried, and my massage was not relaxing.
6. Both masseuses talked in another language during our massage, and my masseuse kept burping!
Pros:
1. Clean facility.
2. Decent prices.
3. Okay massage.
Overall:
I might come back again, but overall I wasn’t impressed. I guess I have just been spoiled before by other massages, that this just didn’t seem traditional to me.

I walked in ready to try the $ 35 special and decided on the deep tissue massage. I have horrible posture and a desk job… I needed the works!
Erik was great! He beat me up and worked out the knots like a champ! I’m in my 40’s and have tried many different places, always looking for the best at a bargain. Eric is worth every penny and more. First time I’ve ever tipped $ 20. At times it was painful but I took some deep breaths and let him do what he does. I will definitely be back! Alexis (Not sure that was her name… I was still coming out of the trance. :-) at the front desk was great also. I felt no pressure to buy anything more than what I needed. The Happy Head Loyalty Card with ‘Two stamp Tuesday’ and free massage after 14 was the icing on the cake. Never going back to Massage Envy. I’m hooked!

This is a great affordable massage option. My therapist was very good and thorough. The ambiance is nice.
I’ll definitely come back when I’m ready for a quick, cheap massage!

Being a customer at the other locations, I had high expectations for this location. I went yesterday. I was not impressed with the front desk girl at ALL. She was extremely rude and had no personality what so ever. Treated the people that were checking in, like we were inconveniencing her. My favorite part was when we stepped up to the desk and she began talking to us, the phone rang. Instead of helping us, the people who had been waiting 5 minutes already, she did not put the caller on hold to continue to help us and instead helped the caller book an appt.
Let’s get down to the massage. Not impressed. At all. I had a male therapist. His massage skills was not up to par. It felt like he was a beginner and it was terrible. The massage felt rushed, like he couldn’t wait to get the massage over with. He had a bad cough and I just felt grossed out. I feel extremely ripped off for paying 35 bucks for a terrible massage. I will not be back to this location, I will not refer anyone to this location.
P. s. I forgot to add that the walls are extremely thin at this HH location. It was hard to relax as I could hear people walking by talking, car engines starting. Terribly disappointing.

My first time but my wife comes often. Enjoyable, super relaxing, really clean, will come back for sure.
Way better then all the others I have been to.
