Head 2 Toe

Not sure whom exactly was the person massaging me, but they were really good. The person was very focused on his craft and spent extra time making sure I got the nooks and crannies. The environment was quiet dark and relaxing how it should be. On problem is that I was with a group of 5 and we called and place a reservation a head of time. The only have 4 available so I was the one waiting about 7 – 10 minutes for my guy. When the rest of my group got done on time my guy stopped early because I was with them which didn’t seem fair to me.

Whenever I look for places to go, I read through all the negative complaints first. Majority of the complaints were cheated on time, noisy, did not understand English. But all the positive reviews balanced it out.
What did I do? Took the risk in a massage.
Made an appointment over the phone, and showed up on time. Payment is due before massage, which was weird because what if I didn’t like it? Anyways, led to a private room. Atmosphere was Zhen and Asian motif chic.
My massage therapist walked in within 5mins and worked her magic. She worked a lot on my knots which was painful but I know I had been tense and I needed rid of them. Massage was A-​OK no complaints. I did hear some ladies giggling, only because their is no ceilings to each room. But that’s ok, the music in the background hinder it.
Thanks Head to Toe.

Will never get the foot massage here ever again, the guy who almost fall asleep while he do my massage, he was massaging the same spot for like 20 mins with no strength. If you’re sleepy don’t come to work. Waste my time.

This was a relaxing but weird experience for us. My sister booked 4 – 60 minute foot massages. When we arrived, we were told to pay first. This was a strange idea for me. Usually you pay after your service. We arrived 5 mins early and after we paid we just stood in the hallway while 4 of the massage people just talked and discussed the logistics of our treatments in their language. I felt like just walking out, because they seemed very confused by the size of our group. My teenage son kept wanting to leave. He felt very uncomfortable. Finally, they seated us, all separately and started our treatments. Overall, it was quite an experience. Not sure if I’ll do it again but it was relaxing after the introductory ordeal.

My mistake for giving this place a shot. If I could give zero stars, I would do so. I should’ve just stayed home and foam rolled. This place is a complete waste of money and time. I’ve gotten massages for years and not sure what all the raving reviews on Unilocal are about. Clearly, the owner doesn’t take his business serious as they probably get enough walk-​in business because of their convenient location on Locust that they brush off any bad experiences or complaints.
Here’s a recap of my experience. Indicated medium pressure, full body 60 min massage, no specific area to focus on except just normal full body.
The therapist starts out with digging her elbows and putting all her weight into it… DEFINITELY NOT MEDIUM PRESSURE.
Me: «No elbows please»
Her: «What elbow is?»
Me: *points to elbow*
Her: «Oh haha okay okay»
Now it goes to literally almost no pressure wtf.
After a minute, Me: «You can go harder»
Her: «Okay little harder»
Still almost zero pressure
After a few minutes, me: «Harder please»
Her: «okay okay»
*Still almost zero pressure*
Next thing I know the massage is over. She basically gave me more pressure scrubbing the oil off with the hot towel than the entire massage. My girlfriend similarly experienced the elbow digging zero technique massage.
I wonder whether these therapists are even certified because as soon as I asked her not to use elbows, which she didn’t even know what the word elbow was, her massage technique suddenly disappeared. Red flag anyone? I didn’t even bother asking for a refund as when I walked out and shared my experience, the receptionist didn’t care and simply said oh haha sorry about that. I doubt this place is even OSHA compliant and would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

Been going for about two years, never had any problems. Always very professional, on time, and clean. Bring Cash.

Meh… last massage of the night and very poor quality… and they shook my husband down for tip

My boyfriend and I discovered Head 2 Toe a couple of years ago and have since made it a monthly treat for ourselves. The skilled masseuses never disappoint and the price is unbeatable! We’ve attempted to drop in a few times, but they have always been booked, so it seems that making an appointment is a must.

Clean, professional and very talented masseuses. Not a seedy quasi legal spot. I usually go to massage envy or a hotel spa for my massages but this place has earned my business.

I love getting foot massages. I realized how much of a good deal it is to get one here and that I should be coming here more often. Thankfully, I booked it for my entourage of 6 ladies a day ahead.
Everyone had told me I was snoring during the foot massage, which I wasn’t aware of until I woke myself up from one. I’m not too embarrassed because I heard it was a compliment to the masseuse when you snore anyway.
The other thing is that these massage chairs are way too big for someone who is 5’0″ like me. When they were reclining my chair, I felt like I was getting smaller and my foot started to lift up from the bucket. I really had to stretch my legs down to submerge my feet. But after soaking, it was all good.
At last, if you are thinking of coming here on a weekend, you should book an appointment ahead of time. It’s almost impossible to do a walk-​in.

I have stopped here multiple times on the way home from work and typically can get in quickly without an appointment. The prices are extremely reasonable with good (not great) therapists. If they try to put you in the big room with multiple customers, it may just be a misunderstanding, as I always say «Oh no, don’t you have a private room» and suddenly one is available. Walls are still thin though, but I prefer privacy. Occasionally, I will get someone that spends to much time on my back and I just tell them and they switch it up. Don’t expect a spa like place — it is not, although clean. But, for some kinks that need worked out at a great price, this is the place.

I had a really great experience going here for the first time. I’m used to 5 start spas, though the treatment is a little different (you don’t have a bathrobe or a sitting room), the massage was absolutely amazing. I don’t think ANYONE has worked my back like that before. It hurt. But I walked out of there feeling amazing. I do a lot of lifting for my job and I have a ton of stress (like most of us) whoever massaged me was amazing. She really worked my back, my neck, my shoulders. Definitely coming back here.

This place a lot like any other reflexology/​massage establishment, except that youre in a room with many people. I have no problem with this — back in 2012 I remember visiting the similar ComFoot Spa in Monterey (
) when group foot massage was a very new concept. Now you can find these discounted «massages» all over, with varying degrees of client privacy and skill levels of the person administering the treatment.
A large, shared room means you might have the idiots who think they need to carry on their conversations when youre in the chair next to them relaxing. Phones should be off, mouths should be shut. Unless you book a private massage room (which they have) use your manners in the common area and save your conversations for the lobby. I had no problem saying something to two Chatty Cathys in the room, but honestly it should have be the staff putting a finger to their own lips.
The 60 minute foot massage is a great deal and a wonderful way to spend $ 30 (+$ 1 extra for credit card). Treat yourself to the 40 minute foot/​leg and 20 minute upper body rub down. I ended up with a guy who actually seemed more experienced in reflexology than a lot of places we’ve been. It’s usually a lot of repetitive rubbing, sometimes with a painfully hard amount of pressure. Tonight he was repetitive but gentle, and I thoroughly enjoyed the massage. Most enjoyable was the head massage and also the buttocks. Very professional and oh-​so-​awesome!
We had a short wait so I’d recommend making an appointment. Especially if you want to run in for their 40 minute deal ($ 20) on your lunch break! Doesn’t that sound like a terrific way to break up the work day?! Yes, yes it does. If you do have to wait, the American Cancer Society thright store next door is awesome and open until 5. (

Terrible. He did not once leave my back for a 90 minute massage! Total waste of money. Front desk has you fill out a picture of areas to focus and I guess they assumed it was meant to be only back. Had to book a massage at another location the next day just to get over the terrible treatment.

This place is okay. I was expecting more from the word spa and a lot more from the words «day spa». However, for someone literally just seeking feet or head, neck, and shoulders then this an okay place for you still get the sense of relaxation while reclining in a dark room with others.
I had a gift card for the 70 minute special which was 40 minutes in the recliner and then 30 minutes in a private room. I got 60 minutes. Not by choice. Maybe I should have had a timer with me?!?
Each section of the special was okay. While I was there a young woman was hurt during the recliner part. Although I had a cloth over my eyes, my ears were wide open! She did tell the «massage therapist» that it hurt and then the next part she got up and was crying from the pain. From what I overheard, the «mt» pushed straight down directly on her spine/​tail bone area. ***if that lady is reading this I hope you are okay and if you need a chiropractic recommendation, I recommend Vanessa Wulff.***
So as you can imagine after hearing her complain, I was on guard and did notice that my MT also like to place his hands on my tailbone. He didn’t push down but then maybe it was because I was on stable table and not an awkward recliner?!?
I have another gift card and will probably give it another try with a more realistic expectation or lack thereof next time.

I really don’t want to post this review. After I do this Emily will be impossible to book. However, I can’t help myself so here it is. Emily gave the best sports massage I’ve had in a long while. She really gets into the muscles without elbows because she actually knows what she is doing. I recognized her ability right away and tried to get 90 minutes instead of 60 but couldn’t.
After seeing Emily you will feel renewed like I do. I’ll be seeing her twice a week from now on.
Skh

THIS WAS THE WORST massage I have ever experienced.
Head 2 Toe was unprofessional and had me wait, face down and naked for over 15 minutes. When I finally got dressed to check with the front desk, she had forgotten that she had me in the room and didn’t even inform the masseuse that I was there.
The massage was VERY uncomfortable and awkward. She actually pulled my underwear into my butt so that she could repeatedly massage my butt cheek. This is something that I found both unnerving and completely unnecessary — especially since I specifically asked for a neck massage…
I would discourage everyone from pursuing massages here.

By far the best masseur is JIANG!
He has the ability to work on pressure points and the massage was amazing! This massage was personalized for my needs and being physically active he was able to release the areas on my body that held tension.
Request him you won’t be disappointed!

Treated my friend to dinner nearby and went to this place for a massage.
Nice and warm tables. Very accommodating staff. Quiet and relaxing.
Great no frills massage for $ 40.

$ 40 for a 1 hour deep tissue massage. Head 2 Toe where have you been all my life?!
This is not a promotion but a standard rate that you can get anytime you visit. If you pay with cash or debit they’ll knock off a few bucks too. My friend has been raving about this spa for a while and it’s a spa she frequents. After a long morning at the Sonoma Raceways we decided to get pampered.
I made an appointment for 2 and was able to get us a spot in an hour. When we arrived we were asked to complete a form that inquired if we wanted a male or female masseuse, the type of massage I wanted, and to circle all the areas I want the masseuse to target. THIS IS GENIUS! I get exactly what I want by specifying it on a piece of paper upon entry. After I completed my form and paid for my service, I was led to my room with a few minutes to get ready for my much needed massage.
My masseuse’s name was Helen. She did a VERY THOROUGH job on my body and pin pointed all my problem areas. I can tell she spent extra time on my shoulders and back which were parts I circled on my form. I was worried that she would focus on just the parts I circled but she worked through my entire body, literally head to toe. She does both sides of your body and the bonus is the amazing butt massage. You’ll see when you visit :) The head massage was awesome too! Overall, the pressure of my massage was perfect I suggest you get this massage in the nude so nothing gets in the way of their magical healing hands.
I felt completely relaxed and was in a daze when I walked out my room. I love it here and will be returning once a month with my friend.
NOTE: The facility is clean and the staff was professional and polite. Be sure to tip on your way out. Ladies, your makeup will be messed up at the end of your massage. Wear little to no make-​up or bring something for touch ups if you plan to stay out.
