Thorough Relax Foot Massage

The lady was very good, and she had great hands, I will definately come back tommorrow again, I recommend this place.

I’ve had the best massages here, and also– on rare occasions– horrible massages. It’s like playing Russian roulette every time I go, but 5 out of 6 times, I’ll leave very happy and relaxed. They take you to a private room where you remove your clothes, except underwear, and cover yourself with a towel. I hate massage places where they try to massage through your clothes.
Also, be sure to tip in cash directly to your masseuse because the manager withholds their tips from them.

First time here today, Sally an older woman in her late 50’s to early 60’s was my masseur, she was great!!! So relaxing and yet therapeutic. She always had a sweet smile on her and was so warm. She just knew when to go hard and when to ease off the pressure. I’ve had many Chinese massages before, this was one of the BEST.
But please please although they accept credit cards, please bring cash for tips and give it directly to your masseur’s. I believe the owner (their boss) cheats them out of their tip earnings. If you put the tip on a credit card, he’ll insist on giving the tip to his worker instead of giving it to you so you can hand it over directly to the person who helped you.
After the massage ended, Sally did whisper to hand over the tip directly to her but it was too late since I had no cash and it was already included in my debit card receipt.
These workers are probably here illegally and are being paid under the table while having no labor law protections. It’s up to us, the consumers to make sure they get treated fairly and not ripped off by shady corrupt bosses.
The 5 stars are for my masseur. Sally is her name.

The massages are $ 20, which is dirt cheap compared to a typical massage ($ 65). But the quality is what you pay for. As for someone who goes to massages places up to $ 80, this isn’t that bad. Just don’t expect them to search out your knots or triggerpoints or tenderpoints like a professional. I assume the people in here don’t have massage certification etc.
If they massage you too hard, you have to tell them since everyone is different. I go with my brother or my dad, and they like it with pressure. My mother prefers lighter pressure. But you do you have to be vocal about it, or they will continue to do the pressure they are using.
I just go here to relax and my expectations are much lower than a $ 65 to $ 80 massage. But if i wanted to get a professional to get a specific knot, then I would go to my chiropractor who knows trigger point. So don’t expect a professional massage.
As for tipping. Its pretty much expected. In the past I use to do $ 5 (especially when i was broke), but i realize that being a massager requires alot of energy. So now I give $ 10. I even tip my massage therapists that charge $ 65 and my chiropracter. So don’t be surprised if they get insulted if you don’t give them tip, it’s expected. Just like a waitress, or bellboy.
In the end, expect to pay 20 + 10, even though the price says 20.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS BEFORE GOING!
I WISH WE DID!
I just got out of a $ 20 massage and was accompanied by my mother and girlfriend today. We all three got a massage and had positive experiences with each of our masseuse.
HOWEVER, as soon as we walked in we were confronted with an oriental lady that came out and just stared us down. She didn’t say anything, and began to pick her nose in front us. We decided to speak up first and mention what we wanted.
Once we finished, we proceeded out to pay. It came out to $ 60 for all three of us. We decided to tip each of our masseuse with all of the singles we had on hand. Therefore we pulled out $ 6 ($ 2 a person). The nose picking lady from the beginning was insulted and told us we needed to pay much more because it wasn’t enough. We said we had no more cash to give, and so she raised her voice and said we can just use our credit cards. The owner who charged us agreed with the lady and insisted we pay.

This was my first time here. I give them an A effort and hence the extra star for my lady, Ity, who did her best to do me hard because I was so tense. The place itself isn’t so clean looking, so they could probably work on that but for $ 20/​hour it’s not that bad. they are open late so if that’s my case next time, I may come back.

What a beautiful experience!!! I could not believe I was walking out like a new woman! My body felt lighter and soooooooooo relaxed! Jenny was my masseuse and she really took care of my defected body! Clean, friendly and priceless! Deff. Deserve a $ 10 tip! Don’t ruin your experience by that simple extra buck, it’s already a super deal and trust me you will feel a million times better!

Went with a friend on a Sunday night around 5 and it was pretty empty so they just lead us to private rooms where you take everything off except your undies. The pressure was just right and it was so relaxing i somewhat fell asleep. Now to the part of paying, we chose #2 which is $ 35. I normally just give about $ 5 tip but when i asked how much, the guy at the front wrote down $ 45. Uhm $ 10tip ?! I don’t think so, but I hesitated to argue and just gave it. The girls who massage are good. Beware of the guy at the front very pushy to get the expensive one. Il stick to my regular one on fallbrook and saticoy

What a horrible experience !!!
I selected the $ 20 massage for 1 hour, and he asked me to pay the tip upfront, he told me to give him $ 30 total. So with tax … The total comes out to roughly $ 22… So I’m forced to pay $ 8 tip upfront ?
Although my masseuse was nice, and put in a lot of effort … He was way too rough with me. I’ve been to countless Chinese and American massage places … And I’ve never ended up with bruises. Keep in mind I don’t bruise easily. It felt like he was grabbing and pulling my skin during parts of the massage.
But worst of all. He broke my necklace! He accidentally broke off my diamond/​white gold necklace during the massage. When we brought it to the light to assess the damage, the man at the front desk examined it (different man, possibly the owner), and told me the chain was broken. Then he told me that it’s easy to Fix… And he started pointing to the door and told me to leave !!! And no apology ???
I’m usually very understanding and forgiving, and I don’t like giving hard working people a hard time. But I realize now that I should of made them pay for breaking my necklace, which i paid over $ 500 for. I’ve never come across such unprofessionalism, I’m so upset and disappointed.

I visited this place unannounced on a Saturday evening after shopping at Topanga Mall. So, my feet were killing me. My friend mentioned this place, so we went to check it out. $ 20 for 60 minute full body + foot massage? You really can’t have the highest expectations for this price, but sign me up!
We got in right away. I was happy with the amount of pressure and thoroughness.
I even got a double fortune in my fortune cookie afterwards! Score.
I’ll be back, too bad it far away from where I live.

For the price it’s an amazing chance to relax. $ 25 for the foot massage is actually a quite thorough full body massage. I’m glad I did it. I’ll go again, maybe take a friend or 2.

Just went to this place and was given one of the worst massages of my life. I regularly go to these massage places for the good price. This my first time trying this particular spot and I feel like I paid them $ 20 to beat me up. She dug her nails into the bottom of my feet and hit them so hard after I squirmed and pulled away. I do NOT recommend this place at all!!!

They get no stars from me. My first massage and I had the worst experience ever Terrible customer service and people skills.
I went here for a foot massage. The guy recommended a foot and body massage for $ 10 more so I took it. Not a bad deal. Then after I paid the manager gave me my receipt and pointed to the tip section on the receipt saying «tip tip» and then after had the audacity to tell me that a tip is normally more then what I tipped and then he proceeded to change my receipt to a different amount. While I was getting in dressed the guy walks in my room I had to grab the towel to cover myself and then he start trying to have a conversation with my who I have no pants on and a towel not even wrapped around me but just in front of me because thats all I had the chance to do. Then after the massage as I was getting dressed the lady who did my massage barged into room telling to to tip her more money. I was beyond pissed at this point so I just handed her an extra $ 2.00 after I had already tipped and she looked at the $ 2.00 like it was trash and shook her head no. And to top it off the massage wasn’t good. She climbed on my back and was sitting on her knees on my back (like a child would do) DIGGING HER KNEES UP AND DOWN MY BACK. I was so amazed as to what was going on I couldn’t believe it. My back hurts like hell now. I wasn’t even in pain before I got the «massage» I went just for something to for me to relax but it was a be mistake. Nothing about the experience was relaxing. I will never go back here again

For the price and the area it is a nice place. The reason they get 5 stars is because of the skill of the staff and the service. This is not some ultra posh day spa with the price tag to boot. It is instead a great value especially for the price of the area. Your hour is always at least an 1 hour and a half session.
In the lobby you can find people of ALL ages, backgrounds and GENDER. So this is a FAMILY place that my elderly mother enjoyed. They were nice to her and took off and put on her shoes for her.
I don’t know why others have had communication issues because everyone I ever spoke with here has spoken English. You need to communicate what your body desires, be it hard or soft.
Oh yeah there is plenty of parking in the back lots. Good luck.

My sister took me here a couple of years ago for my first massage and it was pretty amazing. I remember laughing a lot at one point when the lady started massaging my upper arms/​around my armpits. I couldn’t help it :/​But she started to laugh too so this place is A+. Also, the price!

I decided to try this place out based on these Unilocal reviews after my usual spot, Super Relax in Chatsworth had a 2 hour wait.
I’ll cut to the chase:
I had the worst massage OF MY LIFE!!! Maybe it was just the masseuse I got but it was AWFUL. I could’ve massaged myself instead of paying 20 bucks!
I’ve been to my fair share of chinese foot massage places and only Super Relax makes you feel amazing consistently, the others I’ve been too was just fine, no complaints.
But this lady! She had no technique, no care at all in her movements, she basically petted me like a kitten one moment, and tried to kill me with her brute force the next! Basically, her massage was so sloppy, and every move she did was painful and uncomfortable, and felt like she did not give a damn about your satisfaction! A massage is simple, do big movements to relax the body. All she did was poke at me with her fingers.
Never ever ever coming here again.

I called at first to see if the place was legit and reasonable… and the owner answered the phone. He was so informative and nice… it wasn’t like i felt pressured. He kindly gave me multiple and very affordable options to select from. Not even hesitating, from $ 25…i made my appointment. Upon entering, the owner greeted me and again, so very helpful. Showing me my options again and explaining where the focus of the massage would be.
i went in and asked for the strongest female masseuse and he said… if i felt like it wasn’t deep enough (because I kept reitterating that is what i needed) he would switch it up. The lady hit all of the spots, each and every trigger point and I just got lot in my own world. Ya. you are very close to someone else getting a massage, but you are so zoned out that it doesn’t even matter. Oh, the tables weren’t not terribly uncomfortable. They keep you warm and cozy — -
It was the BEST $ 30 (including tip) I spent. Convenient, nice, accommodating, AFFORDABLE! and always available! Going back next week :)

This place is fantastic! I had Tony and he was amazing.
I paid $ 20 for an hour of pure heaven! It included a neck, head, arms, hands, legs, feet, and back rub! I couldn’t believe how great it was, esp. for the price. I have alot of problems with my back right now and he hit all the right spots to relieve some of my discomfort and pain!
5 Stars for sure! I def recommend this place!

I returned yet again for a 1-​hr massage, this time I got the $ 5.- upgrade, a Milk bath foot soak with rose leaves promoting circulation, detoxification and contains anti-​germicial & anti-​fungal properties.
I was surprised to see that the massage room was packed on a Wednesday around 4/4:30, not one chair or therapist open for massage. I waited for a short ten minutes on the comfy couch, until my technician was available.
My massage therapist, Andy, started off with a gentle touch, he worked on all my tired muscles and ended firmly with the right dose of compressions and stretching. When Andy lifted my eye pillow I sighed aloud and walked out of there feeling great! I will be back ;)

I was looking for this place without knowing I was looking for this place. What I mean, is that I was searching high and low on Unilocal for different ‘catch phrases’ to trigger a place like this, like ‘cheap massage’, $ 35 an hour massage, etc… but nothing! So I feel like I’m going to have to try to work that into my review so others can find this.
Alright…
I always beg my wife for a back rub but it never seems to happen, so she found this place in an ad in some magazine and I went there as a Father’s Day gift to myself as my back is always out of whack with the sports I play. I thought I’d give it a spin with the cheapest option; a $ 20 foot massage. I thought you needed a coupon but you don’t, it’s the rack rate.
Okay, finding it. It’s slightly tricky but not too bad. It’s on the southwest corner of Victory and Fallbrook, in the mini-​mini strip mall with Subway and Fantastic Sam’s. My confusion was that it said «Foot Spa» on the sign instead of «Thorough Relax Foot Massage.»
(Note, don’t be a moron like me and try to enter into the parking via Victory, it’s one way and you’ll never find an opening to sneak in… just go in on the Fallbrook side.)
The front door area looked tiny, I was like, eh, whatever… but then you go in and it’s like, where in the hell did all of this space come from. I’m getting ahead of myself…
Okay, the prices. Um… I’m used to the no-​frills Thai strip-​mall places around Monterrey Park, after the dim sum places. There, it’s like $ 25 to $ 35 an hour there for a full body. I always thought there was no chance of that in the valley and, if so, it would be little «dicey.» So, this place offers you $ 20 for a foot massage and back massage for an hour, $ 35 for a full body in a private room, and $ 35 for a fullbody/​foot massage. I got the $ 20 foot massage for now.
(No offense picture takers!) The pictures on this Unilocal listing don’t do this place justice at all, it looks trashy in these, maybe because a flash was on or something? Dunno. The main room is dimly lit, some Chinese type of red lanterns are over top, there are about 12 tables. There is calming music playing, it’s very nice. Anything around Monterrey Park? It’s bright light, people talking across the room ‘at’ each other, impossible to relax… but you figure for the money, you can’t complain. Here? Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar better than I imagined, let alone on the cheap.
Now, the main thing… the massage. To say it’s a «foot massage» wouldn’t do it justice. It’s not like most places where you sit in a chair and they soak your feet and do your shoulders a little bit. Here, it’s bed/​table where you lie down with your feet hanging into the water while they massage your head, shoulders, etc. Then they do your feet and stretch you and all this crazy stuff that I’d never seen before. I thought it was all done but I understood her… she said «Roll over,» not «Hour over.» I was like, wait, what? Really, there’s more? A FULL hour? Most places say an hour but it’s more like 45 minutes. So then you roll over and they go to town on your back, like a full-​on back massage. I never thought they’d do all of that for $ 20. They even went over the hour.
Everyone there was really cool and I hope more people find this place, I’m so stoked I found it, I’ll definitely go every couple of weeks for a tune up.
Also, don’t be a cheapskate… kick in on the tip, no less than $ 10. You’d give your barber or hair stylist about $ 5 for cutting hair for a 30 minutes. I gave her $ 10 and she almost freaked out with happiness, apparently this was rare.
