I've been trying out massage places around Houston and A Plus Massage is definitely one of the top…read moreplaces in my books. Though the location may seem a little weary, they make sure to make you feel safe and protected. They stand on business and will remove you, if you are out of line. There's signs everywhere. Plenty of parking. As far as massage services go, they are very professional and really fantastic with preferred pressure points. I signed up for the 90 min deep tissue massage, and it got to a point, I needed to get up and get a drink of water! My massage therapist really dug into the knots and gave the area time to recover while working on other parts. They also offer their services on ClassPass if you want to try them out. If it wasn't for ClassPass, I probably would not have found this place at all or just thought what every thinks. A sketchy place, when really, it's just located in an area that makes you think otherwise. So shoutout to ClassPass for the new recommendation. Top place to relax in my books!

I have been looking to try and find a massage place that would be closer to my area and more easily…read moreaccessible. So I wanted to give this place a try. The reviews were all VERY positive and 5 stars, so my expectations were high. I booked via Classpass for 60 min swedish massage. The place is located in a commercial shopping strip on the corner, near like a beauty supply store etc. There is plenty of parking out front. There is construction going on around it, but not bad enough to obstruct the business. Once I arrived inside. The kind lady at check-in ushered me into the room. I saw clipboards on the desk, and as we were walking, I asked, "Shouldn't I complete the forms (since I was technically a new customer)?" She said there was no need. That was strange. Didn't they want to know my info? Once inside and the services started, the therapist, I will say, did use sweedish techniques and also full body stretching. There were moments of relaxation. But overall, it was just ok. Sometimes, even a little rough, which I verbalized to her. She never really answered me back when I would say things, but she did try and adjust the pressure. Im going to presume she did her best? The lights were on during the part where I was lying on my front, which was interesting. But once I was on my back, she dimmed the lights. The bonus - She did do hot stone on my back, which I was surprised about. Because this is normally a separate charge for most places, as it's an add-on service. But they didn't charge me more for it. Maybe they include it with the swedish massage? Either way, I appreciated that. At the end, I asked for the therapist name as she was walking out, and she said Angela. I bet a lot of people probably really enjoy Angela. She did exactly 55 min hands-on. But it just was not a worthwhile experience to come again. The nice lady at the desk that had checked me in, of course, asked how my massage was. I tried to explain, but I'm not sure she understood what I shared. I likely wouldn't visit again, but I am so glad others have come here and enjoyed their experiences, hence their 5 star rating.

But let's talk about the deep massage and stretching, ladies this is who you want to ask for. I felt wonderful for days. Pain level leaving and days to follow was much more tolerable. I plan on making this once a month rotation. As soon as you walk in, it's breathtaking, and the ambiance is so soft, inviting and very cozy. The doos as you walk into the rooms for the massages are gold and the detail on them makes you think you're out of the country. The rooms were just as beautiful and the bed was warm too. I did have him turn it off for me. The restrooms were very clean and up to date. The website pictures are very accurate too.

Summer was so determined to get my neck and shoulders into some sort of respectable state. At some point she got up on the table and put me in this weird chokehold like position so she could dig her elbows into my neck. I realize this probably doesn't sound great but my neck needed it so bad. Now I'm definitely sore but I can swivel my neck around so I'm a happy camper. I would continue to go back for sure. A few things to note. I think their website got hacked because now it's some weird casino looking thing. They are still open just fyi. Also, they do take walk ins. They're not the most helpful if you don't know what you want in appearance, but once you're in the room the MT is really sweet and caring.

I used to visit this place monthly to see Lisa when I lived in the area. After I moved to a…read moredifferent part of town, I found a new shop to visit. Unfortunately, the one good therapist that worked there left, so I was back on the hunt for a new spot. As luck would have it, I was back in the old neighborhood after a business meeting and decided to give this place another try. I'm so glad I did. The people here are all super friendly, and the rooms are clean and relaxing. Nothing has changed in that respect. Lisa has moved on, but in her place I was introduced to Anna. She referred to herself as tall Anna because, well, she's tall. She's also strong. Like VERY strong. As a 50-something that works out daily, I have some tight spots and some sore spots. With other therapists in the past I would ask for medium pressure and then point out when I needed deeper pressure. They would do their best, but it always seemed like their medium would fade toward light as the session went on and their deep was them putting every bit of weight they could muster into a single spot. This would lead to somewhat irregular pressure, and each visit was different from the previous. Really hit or miss, regardless of the therapist. Not with Anna though. Her medium is a firm, but soothing and consistent amount of pressure and, when she finds a tight spot, she puts just a little bit more into it without breaking cadence. It's a truly relaxing experience. It's going to sound weird, but I'd equate it to driving a car with more than enough power to handle any situation. Where a weaker car has to work as hard as it can to get to and maintain certain speeds, the more powerful car can do it effortlessly and with grace. I've now been back to see Anna four times and each time is just as good as the last. She is the epitome of consistency. It's worth the half hour drive to see her every week. Highly recommended!

I wanted a foot massage so I tried it after making an appointment online. First you lay down and…read moresoak your feet. While you're soaking your feet they massage your face, neck and shoulders. Then they do your arms and a little stretching. When they move onto your feet it's like you didn't know you had those areas that needed it. When I say they really get in there they really get in there. The sides, the heels, the entire foot. Wow. And then there is this stretching at the end and toe slapping and popping and kneading and everything I didn't know I needed. For $50 for an hour it was well worth it. I literally cannot wait to go back.

Don't come here! I booked online for a combo massage (foot…read more+ whole body) priced at $50. The booking website allowed you to choose your preferred massage therapist. I chose a female massage therapist for my own comfort level. When I walked in, I was greeted by two women and they led me into the common massage area, where each massage bed is sectioned off with curtains only. I ended up getting a male massage therapist without any notification. This male massage therapist (I was unable to get his name) made me feel very uncomfortable. Although the foot massage only lasted less than 30 minutes, the head massage and shoulder massage were great. He mainly focused a lot of the time during the massage in my glutes and inner thigh areas. Once finished, he quietly whispered in my ear, "see you again soon." As a woman, this made me VERY uncomfortable. I tried expressing my concerns directly to the massage therapist afterwards, but he ran to the back right after the massage. When I was paying, I expressed my concerns to the woman who greeted me. She disregarded my concerns and only focused on the next customers coming in. As someone who frequents massages regularly and was excited to try a new spot, I will NOT return. I wrote this similar review on Google Reviews, and they reached out to me personally, trying to cover up their faults by offering a free massage at a place where I was harassed.
