This is a beautiful and clean massage place just a short walk from Santa Monica Beach. As soon as I walked in, I felt the charming Oriental vibe. I made my reservation online and got there early, but the massage therapist was still busy. While I waited, they kindly let me try the iRelaxbot, an automatic massage bed, for free. Wow, what a cool experience! Unlike regular massage chairs, it lets you lie flat and even be inverted, using vibrations, pressure, and stretching to totally relax your spine. It felt amazing, and I even thought about buying one for home – until I found out it costs over $10,000! Ill definitely be back.
I had a really great experience here. The facility is welcoming, clean, and quiet. I am visiting from out of town and I have been walking/ biking everywhere, so a massage was a must. I was able to squeeze in the same day, and get an awesome full body, session with Suzy. She introduced her touch over the sheet first, which I always appreciate. She mapped out my tension quickly and went to work. I could tell she was familiar with trigger points and motions for muscle recovery. I booked another one for my guy and myself the next day, 😂
Made a same day appointment really easily over the phone. Very polite staff, welcoming.Facility is unassuming/not very obvious during the day, but they told us to wave through the window to let the front desk know we were there. There’s apparently a doorbell at the gate but it doesn’t seem to work.Water fountain available.Clean facility. Calming music. Air conditioning/temp was perfect. I get cold easily.I took a friend who never got a massage before and she got the full body which is not automatically firm like Thai or shiatsu. The masseuse was careful to ask if there was too much pain or if the pressure was right.Kind of pricey, but it is in Santa Monica.
This is an amazing place to get a wonderful massage! 💆 I give them 10 stars! The staff is terrific and they have world class service. They offer many different types of massages including: deep tissue and hot stone massage; just to name a couple. I highly, highly recommend asking for SUZY to be your Massage Therapist. She is very experienced and she gives a great massage every single time! I always book with Suzy. She is my favorite masseuse. A big, huge “Thank You” to Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology Center and especially to Suzy! 🙏
Just visited this hidden gem for a stress-relief session and it was beyond expectations. As a guy who rarely indulges in massages, I was really impressed with the tranquil atmosphere of the place right off the bat. The staff was super friendly, guiding me to a relaxing area where I was prepped for my session. Opted for a deep tissue massage and the therapist expertly eased all the knots out of my shoulders and back. There’s also this innovative massage robot I tried post-session, and honestly, it’s a game changer for quick relief. Ideal for anyone needing a quick reset. Definitely planning my next visit soon!
I love chasing sunsets and capturing them in photos. Like most hard working single parents it is hard to make me time. So I decided to have a trip to Santa Monica with my teenage daughter to go exploring. I am so glad we did! I had the opportunity to get one of the best massages from an amazing Suzy! She worked my tense lower back. upper shoulders, neck & massaged my head! LOL - and I feel like a new woman! Chanden, was super sweet and helpful too. She went out of her way to make sure the therapist understood my needs. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back here when I am in the area again.
Sexual Harassment Level Awful - booked from classpass, I will also inform them that they should be removed.1. Unprofessional Initial Reaction: The masseur’s “wow” reaction upon seeing me was highly unprofessional and made me uncomfortable right from the start and called me beautiful etc during massage! I froze.2. Inadequate Technique: The masseur only applied deep tissue pressure without any variation, demonstrating a lack of proper massage techniques.3. Violation of Privacy: During the massage, the masseur exposed parts of my body that should have remained covered, which is unacceptable and a serious violation of privacy.4. Lack of Skill: The masseur lacked basic knowledge of pressure points and massage techniques, pressing on the wrong areas and failing to provide a proper massage experience.5. Inappropriate Physical Contact: The masseur placed his hands inappropriately on my legs, which felt invasive and uncomfortable.6. Rough Handling: The masseur did not handle my body gently, almost dropping his hands onto me, which added to the discomfort.7. Overall Terrible Experience: The entire experience was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and far from relaxing, contrary to what a massage should be.8. Need for Licensed Professionals: It is unacceptable for a massage center to employ individuals without proper licenses or certifications. It felt like the masseur was randomly picked off the street.
Suzy was so great! I got a 90 minute combo massage and she applied the perfect amount of pressure. I felt like a new man when I left. Shandin at the front did a great job setting up my appointment and helping me decide on a service. The space is very friendly and peaceful, great energy!
Santa Monica Massage & Reflexology Center is a great place to relax and rejuvenate in a clean and hygienic environment. Its affordable, high-quality services make it an excellent spot for anyone who wants to unwind without breaking the bank.I want to call out Chanden. As the coordinator, she will ensure that you have the massage therapist who is best for you. She is always kind, welcoming, professional, and 100% committed to providing a fantastic experience.Chanden and the Santa Monica Massage & Reflexology Center team are always professional, and you get a great massage. They ensure that appointments are handled efficiently and with a personal touch. Their consistent attention to detail and professionalism make every visit a seamless and relaxing experience. Highly recommended!
I just had a 60 min full body massage with Suzy. It was fantastic. I felt so rejuvenated. I should have done a 90min massage. The front desk lady/owner, BM is very helpful and insightful. I highly recommend this place.
I’ve been coming here for a while, now, and always enjoy my visits. Chanden has always been kind, gracious and super understanding. She’s always over accommodating, letting me make last appointments. The dogs are such sweet little souls. They add such a nice element to the place.
This place looked like it had so much potential. But alas, it’s just another “massage” place that doesn’t have any skilled therapists. I couldn’t wait for the massage to be over. And the nerve to charge what they did! Straight up charging real spa prices (give or take $20) with no skilled employees. Shame on y’all. Save your money. Go somewhere legit.
I haven’t had a massage since well before the pandemic. This morning I had a deep tissue massage by Gina. Professional and focused on any area that I felt could use more attention, she instinctively worked further without me having to say. The massage room was divided into curtain booths, but everyone was quiet. My 45 minute massage was over far too soon. I will be back.
I actually want a massage from the music bingo game at the English bar down the street. I was very pleasantly surprised because it didnt cost me I tipped very well. I dont live in this area but I would definitely come back if I did.
Managed to get in on a walk in and had a foot massage with Jun! The place is clean and peaceful, I left relaxed and happy!
I had headaches and insomnia then I came to here to got a great reflexology foot massage and hot stone body massage for 90 minutes, my headache gone! Thank you ! I will book a massage once a week .
I had an incredible experience at Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology Center! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff. The ambiance was so relaxing and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a rejuvenating massage.My therapist was highly skilled and attentive to my needs. They took the time to understand my preferences and tailored the massage to perfection. The level of professionalism and expertise was truly impressive.The reflexology session was a delightful treat as well. I felt a sense of balance and tranquility throughout my entire body after the session.The facility was impeccably clean and well-maintained, further enhancing the overall experience.I left the center feeling completely refreshed and renewed, and I cannot wait to return for another visit. If youre looking for an exceptional massage and reflexology experience in Santa Monica, this is the place to go. I highly recommend Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology Center for anyone seeking top-notch service and relaxation.
Discrimination from masseuse OrsiI’m not sure why she’s discriminating against me because she has seen me twice before and the owner flat out told me to my face that she doesn’t like massaging me something I’ve never heard of beforeI went in to get a massage again from Orsi and the manager , Lily ,specifically told me to my face that she just doesnt want to massage me and I have no idea why as Ive never had this problem anywhere elseBut they kept playing me for stupid saying oh she has to go home she has a family emergency the last time there was another issue allegedly with her that she wasnt feeling well & Then she still saw me. Which is very peculiar and then I’m being told that she just doesn’t like massaging meShe should have her license yankedIve always liked her & tipped and if it was about the tip she couldve said somethingIve never had a problem tipping anywhere if its if she just doesnt like me Because of my race or anything else or my tattoos thats fine but then maybe she should not be working in an all inclusive communityThere is no one else here that is good I have used the other masseuses here and its a jokeA lot of the equipment for the foot massage is a joke as well and it’s old and rustyIt would be interesting to find out if these people Even hired legitimate masseusesI dare them to leave one silly reply to this because they have nothing to say.Its just flat out discrimination. They tried pulling the whole oh shes an independent contractor she can come and go as she pleases but I was there with the owner last week and I specifically booked a massage with Orsi she couldve told me that she doesnt wanna see me instead of wasting my timeI will be discussing this with a lawyer as this is the second time
From the time I came for my appointment til I left..... atmosphere was beautiful! Shonda is a doll. Jeff relieved a lot of my aches I once had for years and Ive never felt better! Im definitely rebooking. Xoxo
This place was recommended by a friend and what an amazing experience it was! I was kinda nervous and had only one massage before this time and didn’t like it. So when it was recommended I thought I’ll try again. Incredible how relaxed and comfortable I felt and was amazed at the end. I want to bring other people now and go again soon! Atmosphere was calm and soothing. Amazing and definitely recommended by me too!
Best foot reflexology and massage!! Parking is easy across the street, clean and great customer service, love front desk staff. My dad came with me and was massaged by Jeff, “best massage I’ve ever gotten.” Kevin was incredible! Highly recommended 👍🏼
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a deep tissue massage from the incredibly talented massage therapist, Jeff. During the massage, I was thoroughly impressed with Jeffs technique. He effortlessly identified and targeted my problem areas. The pressure was perfectly balanced - strong enough to work out the knots and tension. I feel so much better now! I highly recommend Jeff for a deep tissue massage!
This was my first massage since before the pandemic & I have to admit, I forgot how great they are!No stranger to massages, high & low end, Santa Monica Massage & Reflexology Center provided great service at a price that I’m able to afford (again!).My technician, Jeff, was quiet & thorough during my deep tissue massage, yet sensitive when it came to my aching neck.Thank you! I will be back. 😊
Had a 45 minute massage with Gina.It was heavenly. I definitely recommend this place.She listened to my problem areas since I had back surgery on lower back.She did a very deep tissue massage and even some stretches.She also really got the knots out.I’m definitely coming back here.I’ve had a a couple of other masseuses and they were all excellent.
While visiting from Canada I was staying at the shore Hotel and the concierge there helped my husband get me an appointment because I was in extreme pain from a pinched nerve.I couldnt even lift my arm. Andrew was very accommodating and my masseuse was wonderful and very compassionate.I was given bioElectric massage which was new for me. It was amazing! As the day went on my pain began to subside substantially and I was able to travel home comfortably the next day. I’m very grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend this business. Thank you so much!
I was in a real bind physically (and in great pain!) and the staff helped me out immediately. Chanden was such a sweetheart and made sure I was doing great every step of the way. She was so kind and attentive.I woke up that morning with the craziest amount of back pain Ive ever experienced. I took painkillers, and went to see my chiropractor... nothing was working and Chanden found a way to squeeze me in last minute. I am forever grateful.Gina messaged me and she was very good. She got into the muscles on my back really well. They were so stiff and she gave me back my mobility in my back-- immediately.Theyre a small business, which I love supporting! Theyre prices are really great! I highly recommend it.
As a women DONT GO HERE ! They not only made me feel uncomfortable with my choices for the massage I wanted but the glute and upper leg massage was inappropriate and disgusting . My pain tolerance is high and I was in pain after leaving and throughout my whole massage. I left feeling uncomfortable and violated. They pressure you in leave a tip which is so rude and unprofessional.
Hands down the best massage Ive had in the city. From the moment I entered I knew I made the right decision. Front desk was very friendly and informative. Come the massage, it was a privilege having Ron as a therapist. He knows and understands the body very well. His massage was focused and intentional, and I had the most relaxing time. It was an over-all healing experience. Cant wait for the next!
Chanden, Andrew and Susie were so welcoming! Thank you for the amazing deep tissue massage - I will be back asap.
I stumbled upon this place walking around Santa Monica and I must say this was by far the best massage on the west side . Prices were great and the masseuse was very knowledgeable about the muscles and body . I was very impressed with the professionalism and hospitality at this establishment. Highly recommend. Ask for Jeff!
Gina was great! This was my first massage and it was perfect everyone was so welcoming and the massage was great! I’ll definitely go every time I’m in Cali it’s super affordable so make sure you book!
I had a massage with Alex who was great and I came back for him but he wasn’t working there any longer and one of the owners man was on the phone and told me that his business partner is great and will give me the best massage. So I agreed.The owner Lily was my masseuse and HAD NO IDEA of what she was doing. She kept asking me questions “do you want me to massage your neck? Or you hands? How the previous masseuse did it for you”. I couldn’t wait for it to be over and it’s the first time when I come out of massage frustrated instead of relaxed.I was trying to be nice and didn’t say anything just thought I wouldn’t go back there anymore.When I paid I said I don’t want to leave the tip because I didn’t like the services. The ower Lily who gave me massage got so angry and said I HAVE TO tip her. The receptionist had to calm her down.The stuff that works there is very polite and sweet and I have no complaints about the employees but the owners of the place are rude, disrespectful and unprofessional.I paid $100 for a massage that I wouldn’t even want for free. And it’s a shame that the good masseuses at that place have to lose clients because of the owners.
Suzi made me the best massage! I had a pain in my shoulder and she just healed it!
Gave this as a gift to my partner. This is her response 🤷🏾♂️:I did the hour deep tissue massage with Jeff. The receptionist was great and super helpful with booking so I had a good first impression. But once Jeff took over it went quickly downhill. The room was giant, almost like a warehouse with everyone in the same room but separated by fake walls so you can hear the gross sounds of other massages very close by. Jeff never spoke to me or asked if I had any injuries, how much pressure etc. He just started pushing on me with all his strength till I lost my breath. idk what style that is but I then explained that i wanted the time spent on only a few specific areas (shoulders and feet) and what style. Everything he did was uncomfortable. I had to interject multiple times to ask him to go lighter or change etc. the worst part was that despite me asking for only specific areas to massage he still focused on my glutes and upper thighs for an uncomfortably long time (as a woman this was not enjoyable and made me suspect this was one of THOSE kinds of joints). I have never had to ask a masseuse so many times to change what they were doing. Not one second of this massage was enjoyable. Also the place is disgusting. They use Fabreez and the bathroom had broken locks and soap and just put paper towels over the face hole. Then when I left another receptionist (a man not the woman) actually shamed me for leaving a tip.Pros: free 90 min parking across the street…. I guess that’s it
This place is 5 star I’ve been going for a little over a year and it’s amazing Shandon always offers TOP TIER customer service every masseuse has hands dipped in gold
WORST MASSAGE I HAVE EVER HAD! The whole massage was just painful. I would think an experienced massage therapist would not apply DIRECT ELBOW PRESSURE to someone’s spine. The first 20 minutes he didn’t even use his hands and I definitely left feeling worse. My favorite part was after saying ow and trying to get up three times, my massage person says “relax.” Maybe read the body language bro. I had a couples massage, and my girlfriend felt the exact same. I still tipped and left in a respectful manner, but I will never return. The stars on here are 100% fake. I think the therapists names were Jason and Jonathan.
Had the best couples experience! Our bodies needed some massages and Jason/Suzy did an amazing job! We left feeling so relaxed. They really got deep in there to our muscles! I recommend getting a full 90 minute body massage!
The best massage I’ve ever had, I was visiting Santa Monica and suffering with lots of tension from travelling. Jason was so strong and an incredible massage therapist, I willVisit every time I’m here! We were given a Lunar New Year gift to try the iRelaxBot and felt great afterwards. Highly recommend.
Ask for expert masseuse, Miss Suzy! Shes rendered amongst The Best massages I have ever had, and she was sensitive to pressure (she offers three levels of strength and pressure) and areas of my body requiring focus throughout the one hour professional, full body massage. Couldnt ask for a better healing angel for my tired old machine. Left SMM&RC feeling forty years younger with youthful vigor! Highly recommend Miss Suzy to those in pain. Shes a masseuse doctor without a doubt!Front desk team treated me with five star VIP attention to detail during my first visit, and I was so impressed that I requested the monthly membership at checkout. Chanden and her manager, Andrew, were joyful and positive, making my birthday present to myself extra special this year, so I went ahead and got a membership for the remainder of my stay in Santa Monica. It was very nice of them to accommodate my needs and helpful in getting the maximum discounts available. I cant express in words how grateful I am for the kindness rendered and attention to detail! Thank you guys very very much, and I really look forward to my next upcoming visit!God bless 🙏 Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology!
Fantastic foot massage.I’m a traveling nurse and I’m recovering from some killer plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I’m 6’3” 225 lbs (after some recent weight loss). So, I inflamed some things in the ol’ foot for sure.I’ve been to many places seeking some pain relief. My assigned therapist at this location was truly amazing. She was intuitive and open to feedback on the painful areas. She even massaged my right arm/tennis-elbow after I mentioned it toward the end of my session. I actually had to point out that we were over on time as she was only focused on my healing.I’ll be back before I head out of town. I’m grateful.
Great service. Great massage. Affordable. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend and my favorite massage place in Santa Monica.
I’m warning anyone who knows what a decent massage feels like, away from this place. I thought the rating of this place looked decent, but it is deceiving for the quality my partner and I received. Jonathan and coco who were our therapists (I don’t even want to call them therapists, because the fact is it felt like they were hired the day before and quickly taught the same pattern of touching) did not check on the pressure of the massage they were giving, did not do an even massage on each side of the body, and for my experience with Jonathan, felt like he was barely paying attention to what he was doing. At moments there was light touching and then all of a sudden vigourous rubbing of another random body part. Rubbing isn’t massaging. He clearly didn’t know what he was doing. I don’t usually write bad reviews, but we were very disappointed with what we got and I want to warn people who are trying find a good quality massage.
Please do not come to this place, the worse massage experience I have ever had. The lady that I have has no idea what she was doing. She waited for the time to pass and did not focus on her job. My guessed she was tired kneading all day. I would recommend for them to take a break for one hour after they have a customer. It seems to me they care more about the money than the satisfaction of their costumer. To the owner, you need to counsel your employee on how to conduct a massage correctly and not just kneading all over the place. I should not put one star but a -10 (negative 10) in this review.
Had a great experience at the Santa Monica Massage & Reflexology Center today. Chanden at the front reception is wonderful. She had suggested the deep tissue and lymphatic massage since I have been having back issues from a previous car accident and sittingin the officeall day. My masseuse Suzy is amazing! She mainly focused on the back and I feel much better afterwards. Will be coming back again next week.
The massage was good but I was hounded upon leaving for a gratuity. I tried to give $10 as that’s all I can afford and have paid a high price for the service (something I can only justify since it’s my birthday, and was repeatedly asked for more and a sign pointed at for “suggested gratuities”. Ultimately, they didn’t let me leave until they had stumped me out of $40 and that’s still less than what they were asking and much more than I can afford. I can’t afford such large tips on top of a service I have paid for and hounding customers to give gratuity is disgusting - just pay your staff properly!
I booked a one hour aromatherapy massage. The masseuse was a lady called Lilly who is a Chinese American lady with over 10 years experience. I travel a lot around the world and have had massages in many different countries. I have to say that my experience at Massage Capital is one of the best I have had. The pressure was just right and unlike some massages I have had, there was no attempt to inflict pain on my shoulder muscles. I enjoyed my massage so much, I extended the massage beyond the hour and paid for an extra 20 minutes to include a foot massage. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. In terms of the salon, it is clean and tidy and all of the staff are courteous and well trained
I came here with my friends and i was very skeptical at first, but I decided to come due to the very low prices. I thought that the quality of the massage would be low due to such a low price, but It exceeded my expectations by three folds! Its $15 for 15 minutes and every minute is well worth it. They have 5 people here to give you a massage, so dont be worried that you will have to wait. The lady here is extremely nice and sets a very friendly and kind atmosphere! This was the first massage Ive ever had and it was great! Ive been here for the past month and its great!! Make sure to stop by and give yourself a nice foot massage. Not only do they just do feet but they also massage your thighs and calfs! They have various massages here! Make sure to come here!!!
I was in Santa Monica for a weekend trip for my birthday and my friend and I decided to go for massages. They were able to take us both at the same time last minute, just calling the day before. I had a reiki session with Lin and it was amazing. I felt so good afterwards. She was truly outstanding. My friend raved about her massage, which was with Orsi...I think. We both were super satisfied with our experiences there. Will definitely return if ever in the area again!
Looking at the website then physically visiting it’s a huge difference. I receive spa treatments regularly and this was totally out of my zone of expectations. Do understand it was clean and staff was welcoming but not my typical atmosphere of relaxation. My husband and I purchased the Swedish Massage. Instructions poorly given and service was rough. Getting settled for bed that night we were extremely sore and did not get a goodnight sleep. That next morning even worst.
✅✅✅✅***THIS PLACE IS 💯 AMAZING***⭐️⭐️⭐️Alex is an amazing massage therapist! Jadeon at the front desk is so cool! You could really tell they enjoy seeing us all tranquil after the massage. The place is super clean and neat. Alex got ALL my muscles. I’m definitely relaxed now. I came in with a lot of pain on my calves and I didn’t even know I had lower back pain but wow he got all that! He cracked my back and the CBD oil was legit! I like that he suggested things for aftercare so that I can recover better. Will definitely come back! Thanks guys!!!
I was going to book a massage today but opted not to because the woman that answered the phone who I cannot really hear & understand what she was saying was very rude! I was trying to clarify what she said, she interrupted me and stated that “if i can let her finish”. Well, at that point I interrupted her and told her to stop because she was very rude!I intend to speak to the owner or manager to inform he/she that perhaps someone with good manners should answer the phone since it is a service industry that is really dependent on clients and/or prospective clients.
I got my mom a 90-min massage gift card for her birthday. It took her a while to commit to the appointment, but finally she did it. Later that day she called me and said that it was THE BEST GIFT EVER! She loved it! The massage was so relaxing and enjoyable that she finally let go of all the bed emotional stuff that was weighing heavy on her. And I have myself a happier mom :) Thank you guys for great work!!!
This was my first bio-electric massage treatment and it was great. It had the feel of a real deep tissue massage with all of the benefits of Eastern philosophy and knowledge working to get you to your best self. The technician/masseuse was very knowledgeable and explained how the process works in a vary simple easy to understand manner so you dont have to be a Zen Master to get it. I have not heard of this type of massage/treatment being offered in the area and if you have not tried this yet I highly recommend it! You will feel great and get help with the things that you thought you had to live with. I cant wait for my next session it is truly the best massage in Santa Monica. I highly recommend them......Make sure you give this a try you wont be disappointed.
Best massages Ive ever had! I am currently struggling with my ability to walk and Lily has started my path to regain mobility with bioelectric massage. I was so weak in my right leg I needed to lift my leg up with my leg. One bioelectric massage and that is no longer the case!! After just one session I am noticeably stronger. I have been struggling with this issue for a long time and nothing has worked but this is. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!! Wonderful people!
Really friendly and welcoming staff. The deep tissue massage that I received was really great and the therapist explained some things about my body to help me understand problem areas that need work.
The receptionist Andrew was very sweet and understanding. The atmosphere was relaxing and soothing. The reflexologist was very thorough and accommodating. My mother and I both went together and she never had it either. They made us feel welcomed and want to keep coming back. My whole body feels fantastic. Thank you SM Massage and Reflexology!
This is the best place at Santa Monica for deep tissue and bioelectric massage. I had such a wonderful experience that I want to share with all my friends.This place is clean and well managed. Ms. Lin is very experienced to provide me with a comfortable soothing experience and actually cure my shoulder and arm pain problems for many years. (I am a IT person and sits in front of computer many hours during the day. I have developed some should and arms pain and my arms were not able to raise up much due to the pain).Ms. Lin was very patient to listen to my problems. She suggests the bioelectric massage and the very first time, I can raise my arms much higher and my shoulder does not felt pain compared to an hour ago.I am so happy about their service and will definitely come back again.
Absolutely amazing deep tissue massage with Jonathan. I felt so much better leaving! 5 stars for the massage quality for the pricepoint, just know it’s not an over the top luxurious venue vibe
I just walked in and could immediately have a massage (4pm) and choose between male and female masseur.I wanted to have a strong massage on my back and she really did that and asked me if she should continue or massage an other spot.Highly recommendable and a very good price for what you get.
Lillys massage is the best and I always feel so welcome. Their new location is big, spacious, and plenty of privacy in each room. I cant wait to get my massage from Lilly when they can open again!
I work and live in the downtown Santa Monica area. Among the hustle and bustle of this busy beach city, it is really important to find a place to relax, regroup, and unwind.Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology offers exactly that. The atmosphere inside is clean and peaceful. each massage therapist specializes in their own thing, so if you speak to the front desk about your specific needs, they will accommodate you accordingly.pricing is very fair as well.
I do a lot of physical activity and my muscles get tight all the time. Getting massage from Lily and drinking a gallon of Kangen water keeps me healthy and active. Lactic acid build ups and restricted circulation can lead to serious issues, so practicing prevention is the best you can do for your body.
I was visiting Santa Monica and decided that I desperately needed a foot massage because I work on my feet all day. Like 7 days a week. At first glance youd think this place looks shady, right... oh but youre wrong. From the moment you walk in, youre greeted by two wonderful women with great spirits. Then I saw Orsi. Ohhh Orsi is hands down amazing!! I only did the foot massage and the moment she touched my feet I felt so much weight lifted from me. And if I had more money to spend I would had gotten a full massage on top of that. When I come back Ill always book some time with Orsi! Thank you for making my vacation great.
The massage therapists were awesome. However, the receptionist was rude. Would definitely book again despite her rudeness.
I like the designing as a garden. I enjoy the massage and the price is cheaper than the other side. I like Hot Stone Massage expecually. Over here , the boss is a lady, she will service us well and she is a good talker: The massage is professional shop. Next time I will come again . Good shop
Best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had. Great pressure. She flexed my body and manipulated it to get better precision at my sorest points. Never had to say anything. Only item would be that the rooms are open and you can hear people coming and going... but who cares when you find a place like this.
I absolutely love love love everything about this place .. from the smell, to the therapists, to the owner and her dogs! It’s the best place to get a massage :) I’ve been there twice and loved it both times and look forward to going again and again ❤️❤️❤️
So i am recovering from head and neck surgery 2.5 months ago. My Beverly Hills surgeon ill advised me to return to the gym three weeks after the five hour surgery. This caused blocked Eustachian tubes from the inflammation I exerted pressure excessively, which caused tinnitus, conditions Ive never experienced before that surgery.I called Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology Center for a massage to remove the tense horrible pressure in my neck and around my ears. Spoke to Andrew who referred me to Lily for Bioelectric massage therapy. It is quite similar to Acupuncture like Ive done in San Francisco China town. I actually think this was much better.Lily was nothing short of AMAZING!! She took extra time to work on my troubled areas of my head and neck as well as the rest of my body.. The pressure has been relieved but as she said i definitely need to come back to fully open the Eustachian tubes behind my ears. She has definitely earned my trust and look forward to seeing her again.Also, ive had an excellent Swedish massage from Oshi! Is there nothing these Women cant do?? They are certified in their fields and you will not be sorry, mark my words!Just so you all know i am an extremely healthy and active guy who is incredibly grateful that Ive found this Massage center. Ive had massages from time to time in many places of the world and honestly they are a cut above and very affordable! Enjoy the experience and ambiance of this Center :)Drew
I have the pleasure to experience the best message in my life last Thursday at the new Santa Monica message reflexology.The owner Ms. Lin was very friendly, the massage technician was so professional. I felt I got such a value service. I would love to come again and would recommend anyone to go and experience it for yourself
After suffering from lower back pain for most of my adult life and seeing numerous doctor without no resolve I knew I had to find a more holistic approach to manage my pain. I work in Santa Monica one day on my way to work I came across the Santa Monica massage and reflexology. The front staff suggested I try the Bio Electric massage which he explained kindly and patiently is like a accupunture and will help my body to recover from the pain . I tried the Bio Electric massage it was amazing. It felt really good and helped a lot. I would highly recommend this massage. Thank you Santa Monica massage and reflexology center . I would definitely be back.
Was experiencing foot pain in the bottom of my soles. I knew about the benefits of foot reflexology and its effect on the overall health. So fortunate that they were in the neighborhood. Ive known Lily for a while, the service was great, scheduling was easy and prices were awesome based on the result. Totally what I needed , super relaxed and relived afterwards. Would go again.
A wonderful holistic health experience in Santa Monica California. I was a happy and satisfied Chinese massage and reflexology customer for over 5 years in St Augustine,Florida. Now owner Lin Li has opened the massage and reflexology center in Santa Monica California. She has over 12,000 hours of massage therapy experience and can help your health and relaxation in many ways.I always told everyone,the best thing you can do for yourself in your life is to experience Chinese massage.All her employees have always had over 10,000 hours of massage experience, and some have over 20,000 hours experience.In my opinion when have Chinese massage from Lin and her staff, you certainly have experienced the Fountain of Youth. Sincerely, Mike St Augustine Florida.
Horrible !! Very small. Uncomfortable sometimes because the equipment is not the same for all and is outdated. We were 2 and we were massaged by 2 men. The massage was ok (although I do not understand how for 15 minutes you can touch the back with one hand ...) massage 1:15 instead of 1:30, with 30 minutes late at the beginning. So paid $ 95 ($ 95 = 90 min) for only 75 minutes! The worst: tips are mandatory and the minimum is $ 14.25. The guy at the reception does not give you the choice and attacks you. Scandalous. We give tips when everything is ok but this place is really a rip off!! They want money thats all. Don’t go, save your money for a better place.
Whats Chinese word for spinal cord?This was a Groupon purchase.I never felt relaxed or safe. The beds are close together with no curtains. I had to wear my jeans. Two workers both very limited English. Two minutes into massage the woman had her elbow pressing against my L3 vertebra. I dont dig having my spine massaged. I waved her off using sign language. She was good at finding my trigger points in my shoulder area. She was also Good at massaging large muscle areas like gluteus . The other name for the place is Santa Monicas Best Massage & Reflexology
I have had a lot of massages many places but by far this was the absolutely best ! Very personable, professional and pleasant staff and “Lilly” was stellar, knew the pressure points for every pain relief and muscle tension release. I highly recommend this place!
Love love love this place!!! Staff is amazing and the masseuses are the best!!! Favorite massage place I’ve been to so far.
Whether youre a sore or looking to relax within a hectic environment, look no further than SMM. Its a simple, yet professional shop that will ease your weary bones at a great price!The atmosphere is clean and pleasantly appointed. I love the exposed brick walls and the care theyve put into hanging faux greenery from the ceilings!If you can, book with Leo. Ive enjoyed two 60 minute massages with Leo and they are extraordinary. Ive enjoyed many massage experiences in luxury hotels and spas...and Leos talent and professionalism is right on par with these masseuses.Go local and enjoy an affordable massage here at Santa Monica Massage!Pro Tips:- Request the privacy of the back room- If youre sensitive to outside noise (its a crowded tourist destination after all!) simple put on your headphones.- Book with Leo
Absolutely terrible and uncustomary massage. I wasn’t told that the person guiding me to the massage room couldn’t speak english and that THEY were in fact the person who will be giving the massage. i found this out after i was laying down on the massage table. I literally booked this for one reason which is a pain in my mid right back that has been killing me. I didn’t get the chance to explain my problem and the reason for my visit. my back still hurts and wendy spent more time on my legs/neck than back. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. don’t waste your $ here…
Recap for the lazy:*Skilled workers*Comfortable beds*Soothing music/Quiet atmosphere*Only thing I didnt like is the beds are separated by curtains so theres no real privacy: It didnt stop me from enjoying this hour, hence the 5 star rating.For those who like a story:I just experienced the most exquisite massage I had in a very very long time. I asked for a swedish massage and luckily I had Orsi (pronounced Orshi) taking care of me and Im so glad cause this girl KNOWS what shes doing!The beds are very comfortable, both for the client and the care-giver, I felt.The music was soothing and sweet, the space was relatively quiet and I dozed off now and then. My lower back pain had significantly improved after, I could really feel the difference.Orsi made me feel like shes being wasted, not working at her own clinic. She was THAT good!What a great fix for a work Sunday.
I walked in because I had a stiff neck. He guy at the reception said it was the best in town so I decided to give it a try. I got a 15 min massage that was supposed to concentrate on my neck. Steve only got to my neck the last 4 mins or so. When he did finally worked on my neck, I was face down and he started on what was supposed to be the right side of my but instead (I don’t think he was paying attention) he started digging his forearm into the center of my neck, on my spine. I am now in more pain then when I walked in and there’s a bruise on my neck. I’ve had plenty of deep tissue massages and this has never happened.Today is Monday, I got the massage on Saturday and my neck hurts to the touch. I would say stay away from this place. It’s nice inside but looks can be deceiving.
I needed a quick massage right before going to the airport and they booked me an appointment right away. Massage was really good with Lily and I would come back again for sure! Extra points for being in front of Ippudo, a delicious ramen resto.
From outside everything fine. The chinese lady who gave me the massage almost hurt my back. After the massage they had a fight in the front for the tip. Not a place to go. Really not.
I from lituenian ,I work hard ,my shoulder hurt , I found the nice massage center on the court of 3 rd street and Santa Monica Blvd .the owner Lily gave me a amazing Thai massage ! I felt I sm a new man ! Only 30$ ! Good price in downtown Santa Monica! I will come back try a foot massage next time ...
This is a great massage SPA and I get a great massage from Lily today, they take care of me and healing my body, I really appreciate it
Not even exaggerating- best foot massage of my life! Suzy was amazing and gave this very largely pregnant mama some MUCH needed relief!
Great massage. My sister and I went for 1 hour massage and 1/2 hour reflexology. We both walked out grateful for the stress and tension relief. My therapist was Leo. Best massage ever.
This was my first time getting a massage here, the setting is so beautiful, I was put completely at ease the employees are so friendly and I would definitely recommend going there especially for the price! Its amazing, thank you.
I booked a deep tissue massage with Jeff and it was amazing! I will definitely come back!
Smelled bad, was ran like a sweat shop. Owner was terrible to workers. I can tell they dont change the bedding you lay on cause it was dirty and smelled of sour sweat. No rooms, everything is sectioned off by sheets. The masssge was painful and dry. The foot massage was alright. I wont be going back.
I love this place. The massage is great (Linli was my therapist and she is perfect) and the prices are affordable compared to other locations. Best quality/price ratio in Santa Monica!
I think that that have bought all their feedbacks.I finished my massage after 10 minutes, because it’s not a massage!You can write “Thai massage”, make an advertsment, buy feedbacks — but it doesn’t work if you don’t have good masters and normal massage tables!
I had an awesome experience here and a very relaxing deep tissue massage. They were able to fit me in last minute. They were extremely professional and polite. I highly recommend!!
As a bonafide massage afficionado, I feel qualified to assess and critique massage therapists. I can honestly state that my massages at Santa Monica Massage & Reflexology Center have been the best that I have ever experienced.! I cant wait for my next massage!!
Great massage from Jeff. Its my 2nd time with him today. He really worked on the problem areas.
Great massage place to relax and spend time with family. The cool aesthetic and big comfy chairs add to the comfort. Very replenishing foot massage with good price and good massage! Definitely should go there.
Dont come here. These people are tricksters. When you lay down for your massage, they speed up time. There is no way an hour goes by that quick! Thanks guys!
This massage place has given the best massages to me and my family, the employees are very kind and the prices are reasonable. The location is prime and there is a Yogurtland next door so you can have some frozen yogurt after your massage or go to the Apple Store.
I am a long-term insomnia and melancholy person. I accepted bioelectric massage technology and volcanic mud plaster. Today, I feel that the pain has disappeared and my sleep is very good. It is really amazing! Thanks!Andrew
I have tried several massage centers and spas in Los Angeles. But this one by far is the best. Upon entering you are greeted and then helped by the staff. The therapists were professional and attentive. The ambiance is excellent and everybody is so nice.My back has been sore for several months. I explained my back problem and she was able to work out the pain. This place is amazing! Its a great value and I would highly recommend.
Lily was amazing. Bio electric massage really improved my back pain and overall wellbeing. It is better than acupuncture
I left with more pain on my shoulder than I arrived with, so I didn’t tip because why should I tip for pain cause to me. Then the owner called me after I had left asking why I hadn’t tipped his employee. I have the right not to tip if I don’t want to. I ended up just hanging up on the guy, because what kind of business does that?!?!
Great massage, affordable prices how can you go wrong? Book while you still can as appointments can fill up fast. Will be back soon(again).
I tried the build tic massage and my friend got the prenatal . We both agreed they were the best massages of our lives . The staff were friendly and professional and I will definitely be back . Super reasonable prices too
I heard that they are the best massage in LA ! I tried ! I had a great massages in my life ! Bio Electric Massage with Volcanic body masque really helps me relax and remove the pain !
I can way to go to California to have again a good massage with Miss. Li,The help me before with my back paid, no more good massage terapist here in Saint Augustine Fl. like her....see you next week. I cant way🍷💆💆
Had a wonderful experience with Lily. Had a hot stone Swedish massage and loved it! Very clean, professional, and quiet environment.
I had a 45 minute foot massage and left there feeling like I was walking on a cloud!! I highly recommend Massage Capital in Santa Monica!!! You leave feeling phenomenal and the prices are very reasonable!!!
Last time i was in Santa Monica and I had massage by Lily I liked the massage very much but place needed some improvement ( she was new in this location at that time ) but i still could say i was happy, this time i visit there days ago & I had a much better experience .. she hired more employees and receptionist and renovated and decorated the place very nicely, i can say now she is the best masseuse and you need certainly give a visit.
I just had a great massage. She was professional and very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely go back
Firstly this was a gift on Groupon, when I called to make an appointment owner said we don’t do Groupon on Saturday,my experience was horrible I didn’t have change for tip had 5 bucks and the owner was really rude said what happened you didn’t like the massage I said was ok, he’s like because you only give 5 bucks tip don’t you know it is supposed to be 10%?I told him I was running late and didn’t know that I didn’t have change he was very pushy I ended up charging my card he didn’t even told me that there was a fee when I checked my bank account later I was charged an extra $2.94 I felt really violated..
The most perfect pleasure of message and recovery I have experienced ever from . The deep tissue to the bio electric therapy they are so awesome with the service they provide.
Awesome Customer Service! Clean and affordable. I feel Awesome afterwards for days. THANKS so much for the Awesome Detailed Massage. Knowledgeable Staff of ALL Services offered.

Awesome foot massage place. My mother loves this place, and the staff even let the kids get massaged for fun. The manager is very friendly, definitely a great place to go.
I just got a great massage from Steven today ! I walked around downtown Santa Monica, my feet sore , after he gave me a Chinese reflexology then I felt so much better ! I will come back with my family!
