In my opinion best massage location in Bakersfield and I've been to quite a few, there's only one…read moreother that can compare however the massage therapist here are very friendly and ask what is bothering you and focus mostly on that to allow you the best experience. The gentleman at the front desk is running that place better than most people I've seen run a massage therapy business. He even takes text messages up into a certain part of the evening after the business is closed to try to fit you in and knows what his opens are within 5 to 10 minutes of you texting them. I would love to gate keep this place to myself but I know that they don't need my endorsement for the great things that happen here. Though I won't gate keep the location I will gate keep my therapist (for now) However if I know you personally message me and I'll tell you who she is.. Overall the only place I'll be going to in 2026 unless something changes.

I didn't want to continue to gate keep that vital information that any reader was starting to get suspicious about. I know plenty of people that have tried Hands of Joy and Vince is simply not the draw here. In fact, he is usually the reason why they, as well as I, were one and done. Personality and first impressions count and here, they just don't add up.

She did an amazing job--really worked out the tension without it feeling rushed. I left feeling completely relaxed, and it honestly made the rest of my drive so much more comfortable. If you're on a long road trip and need a reset, this is a solid stop. I'd definitely come back.

I'm not sure if she understood me or not because of the language barrier -- so if you have past injuries or specifications for your massage, I wouldn't recommend this place due to lack of communication and language. Luckily I didn't so I just told her I needed a deep tissue massage hoping she understood. To start, the table had a thin sheet I laid out to cover myself with. Usually places have another thicker sheet/blanket but oh well! I told myself it didn't matter. I'm pretty conservative mind you, so when she started whipping the sheet around and exposing me without consideration and bending my knees while exposing between my legs, I felt uncomfortable and couldn't relax the entire time. At one point, my entire back side was completely exposed and the sheet wasn't covering me. I was extremely uncomfortable with that. When I flipped over for her to do my front side, she accidentally exposed my breast. Again, I felt extremely uncomfortable even though she said "oops, sorry!" As for the massage itself, it felt unorganized and all over the place. Usually therapist will slow their way into it and work their way around. This lady was all over the places and wasn't smooth. I felt like her thumbs were poking me all over instead of doing a deep tissue. Some parts felt great, don't get me wrong, but she rubbed my triceps so hard with her thumbs I was bruised the next day. When I flipped over to have my front side done, she never worked on my traps, front shoulders, or chest. She spent all her time on my legs (which I couldn't care less about compared to my back, traps, and shoulders). Last thing, when I went to pay at the end of it, she was hovering over me to see if I was going to tip (I'm assuming). Normally people don't hover over you while you're tipping, it's awkward and kinda rude. Overall, I won't be going back. Maybe this is just a bad experience for me. Idk but most massage places are considerate while exposing only the necessary body part and being methodical with the massage.

Well now I know why this play isn't that busy. When the boss is gone the employees demand tips. I…read morehad a 1 hour massage and paid with debit card my last $50 due to severe neck issues I had to come in.After I paid I handed the lady $5 for a tip in cash,it was all I had. She said 1 hour massage is a $10 tip! First of all her massage isn't as good as Amy who is the owner I believe. For someone to demand a tip for subpar service is so un professional. So I went to write a yelp review and noticed the one from above from a month or two ago so I'm gonna leave that one there. Today I went in for a massage the lady cannot communicate with me because she's limited on her English and I was asking for a massage she said that she has an appointment and it's been 15 minutes and there's still no appointment here. I could have just said I was the appointment. There's literally only one woman here which could be a safety issue as well. I'm told to Come back in an hour well I don't have time to come back in an hour so they're losing business this way but I guess not because there's only one employee.This lady is the one by the way who said I should give $10 last time.
