Wow! My new favorite massage place! My masseuse put his whole body strength into massaging me for the entire hour, it was like a deep tissue massage which I love! It felt soooo good & I needed it so badly. I went in feeling so stiff, achy, & headachey, & he got into all my tight spots all over my body & kneaded away all the tension. Love how they soak your feet in warm water & give you a solid strong foot & legs massage to start, & the hot stones at the end. It was heavenly! It helped me feel a lot better. I got the $45 Combo massage for 1 hour. These days that is a steal, please consider giving them a very generous tip! They deserve it! I will be back! read more

We were the couple who visited a few days ago. We had a great massage and left feeling very satisfied, so we even tipped more than twice the cost of the service. However, we later realized that both of us were bitten by bugs while lying on separate massage beds. Over the past few days, the bites have become worse, and the affected areas are now swollen and irritated. We wanted to let you know and kindly ask that you inspect and disinfect the room to prevent this from happening to other customers. Thank you. read more

Ava Foot Massage - Massage Near Me - La Mirada, California

The entrance to Eva is around the corner from the strip mall, parking is plentiful since they share the parking lot. We were here late night just before closing for a not so regular massage. My choice was to request Mary who was no longer working. So my GF got Peter, and my masseuse was Woody. We both had the same Massage a one hour combo with oil and stones, total $90. This packet starts with foot bath, face up massage, then turn over for back in neck. A massage experience is mostly attributable to the masseuse, but mine was very well done. My GF had a lot of back pain, and was relieved of most of it during the massage, with a little help from naproxen. Overall, definitely a good deal well executed, reasonably priced and beneficial, although not much English has spoken in this establishment. Well recommended, we will return. read more

I was hesitant on making this review because my past experiences here have been so good, but yesterday was not. Past massages that I have gotten here with the ladies have been amazing and they provide such a relaxing experience. I had a gentleman yesterday, which is fine. I don't have a preference as long as it's good. I had no problem with the pressure of this massage, I am one who likes firm pressure and that's what I got but the way this gentleman flung my limbs around caught me so off guard. He would flip-flop my neck around with no care and at one point he lifted my arms in the air to stretch my shoulders and let them slam to the table. The whole experience was very rough and not relaxing at all. My massage was $40 and I tipped six dollars which is 15%. When the front desk person looked at it, he said that there is a $10 tip minimum and tried to guilt me into giving more. Tip is VOLUNTARY based on the QUALITY of service. I regularly tip $10-15 on this massage but this was not worth that in my opinion. Not a good experience. read more

Mandatory $10 tip is crazy for a less than mediocre massage. Save your money y'all! I had better expectations.

Jesse did really good, I work in the medical field so you can only imagine the amount of stress my body is under. I left in such in an amazing mood with no more back pain. Thank you so much for your time and support. read more

This time we had Annie and Bruce. Another excellent experience. They raised their 1 hour foot massage to $40. We always tip $15. $55 total for a great 1 hour massage. read more

Massage was not relaxing, it was fast and hard, did not take the time to smooth muscles, just hard and fast and not given water to drink afterwards. I'm not coming here anymore . read more

Prices were amazing, I just wished they made the massage more personal. I also didn't expect to get my back and bones cracked so that was a surprise. Overall good place, I just left feeling a bit sore from all the cracking. read more

Love the deep tissue massages. I get the $35 reflexology. You lie on your back either feet soaked in warm water. They do a head, neck, shoulder, and arm massage. They do feet reflexology and massage your legs. Then flip on your belly for a neck, shoulder full back massage. It is heaven. My definite go to place for a deep tissue massage. read more

I honestly would not return at all to this place & I will proceed to detail my horrible experience...I came with my husband on Wednesday & my back is still hurting from the horrible massage I received from here. My husband surprised me & booked massages for us Wednesday 5/17/2023 & opted to try something closer to home. He booked it from here based on the reviews & maybe I just had a bad experience or others must not try different places out to know what a good massage is all about. For starters the price is a bit pricey in comparison to my go to spot. At my go to spot the couples massage is $65, here we were charged $80 & we still tipped our ladies $15 each. (Which I don't feel my lady deserved, but my husband is a generous man.) There is absolutely no calming ambiance about this place. There was no relaxing music playing like other places for the first 10 minutes or so into the massage & when I could finally hear music it was from afar. The couples room is smaller than other places I've been to, very small actually & I questioned how clean the room was. The walls are thin here so you can here the conversations going on around you. If you're looking for a calming spot this ain't it. Now for the massage itself I must say the foot massage was the only enjoyable portion of the massage, for that reason I give this 1 star review. My lady was very rough on my back & when using one hand to massage my neck her other hand was pressed down hard on my lower back. I told her off, but I don't think she heard me so I moved my body for her to get a hint. She was also rough when doing the scalp massage. My head is still sore from how rough she was on me, but my back especially is still bothering me. I'm currently having to ice it & put on Salonpas pads on my back to deal with her messing me up. The lower back is hurting me the most, but in general she was very rough on me. At some point my lady & the lady massaging my husband started chit chatting away in their language (not English) & were laughing it up. I'm all for being cool with your coworkers, but not while you're on the clock & are doing a bad job at that. She only used hot stones for a minute & she didn't even let them rest on my back for a bit like at other places we've gone to. That's the part I look forward to the most & the fact she just rubbed them quickly on my back & discarded them without letting them lay of on my back was downright dissatisfying. The worst part was that they kept the damn drape to our room open when going out to get the supplies & here I am just in my underwear!!! I was face down ass up & the sheet they use to cover your butt this lady tucked it in my underwear that she lowered half down so half my ass was exposed!!! I wouldn't have noticed since I was face down but I had an off feeling & I got up to check & sure enough the drape was left fully open. Anyone walking by to use the restroom or being taken to a room could've seen my exposed rear. I immediately pulled my undies up & sheet. I wish I would've taken a picture but I didn't have my phone near me. It was in the bin with my clothes under the massage bed. I find that extremely uncomforting, & truly inconsiderate towards customers because there's other people walking around. I'm by no means a prude, or shy about my body, but I'm also not into exposing my body for all to see. When being massaged I enjoy my husband's & my privacy & this place FAILED to provide that. A few tips to whomever runs this place please teach your staff the importance of providing privacy to your customers, get more speakers for your establishment & play relaxing music to create a calming ambiance, & tell your staff to not give rough massages unless a person wants deep tissue (which I did not ask for) I believe this place has potential, but I would never ever return. First & last. This review is 100% my own personal experience read more

Love this hidden gem. If you like deep tissue massages, this is the place for you. Associates may not speak fluent English but they know what they're doing. I believe every massage starts off with a hot foot bath which feels amazing. This is where I go to get all my knots worked out. You can't beat the prices either. Location is clean and front man receptionist is always friendly. read more

Good spot good prices really good massage. I've been going here for many years . I recommend it.

I've been coming to Ava Foot Massage for over 10 years. I have had a variety of pressure applied from different folks, whether they be male or female. All good massages. I always leave feeling better than when I came. Things to note: -You can hear others - all massage rooms and not enclosed; some walls are thin. Calming music is played so if you go at an off time when no one is there you can hear it more vs focusing on your neighbor snoring or moaning during their massage. -You can leave your clothes on for the standard massage. Tip: I used to go in a crop tank top and shorts so the massage was easier. If you get an oil/hot stone massage It's recommended to take your shirt (bra is optional too while face down for ladies - they step out of room). -Card and cash are accepted. I always tip cash. I used to tip $10 back in the day (pre covid inflation when basic massage was $20) but I always leave feeling good so I generally tip $15-$20 depending on the experience. I've never once had someone complain about asking for more tip money. This isn't Glen Ivy or Massage Envy - but on a week night it sure does get the job done. read more

Love this place! It's a hidden gem. I've had Bruce and Terry at different times and they're both awesome!

Got a massage from nancy and it felt so good! The only thing I didn't like about this place was they didn't really guide you with directions they just make you go to your designated room and don't tell you to take your clothes off or to keep it on if you'd like.. I think basic directions/ guidance should be needed for newcomers! I've been to a massage place so obviously I knew what to do but just a tip to be better in this area then the whole experience would've been so much better.. and there were a few difficulties with communicating because of our language barrier but that's no one's fault but just something to keep in mind. read more

Check out Ava Foot Massage! Friendly costumer service and great atmosphere! Highly recommend. read more

Left here feeling a bit disappointed. I got "Combo C", the woman who massaged me Sandy? Soni? not sure what her name was but I kid you not she spent most of her time rubbing oil on my calves. When it was time to pay I left a 12% tip, the woman in the front told me 20% is standard. I let her know that the reason I left that amount was because while working on the bottom half of my body I was not being massaged only rubbed. She told me that I have to let them know that I want pressure. I understand there are different preferences when it comes to pressure, however if I'm at a massage place I don't think I need to be asking them to use their thumbs it's common sense she was literally open palm 0 pressure rubbing me up and down. I let the girl know I will give more tip as a courtesy, so I went ahead and left 22% but as a courtesy to others I'm leaving this review so you're aware of the type of service you may receive. Maybe if the woman up front would have apologized or not insisted on more tip I wouldn't be leaving this review but I really don't think I'll be coming back anyway. I rather spend more money somewhere else and leave feeling like I actually got a full massage. read more

my husband and i goes to this place once a week. They already know us there. We ask for Bruce all the time.

Use to be a great spot I use to every 2 weeks without missing but prices have gone way up I understand everything has gone up but regular 1 hours massage from $20 to $35 I just can't reason with that price increase. I use to be a regular now I no longer go. Beside the price the service is great and massage as well read more

Massage, YES Reflexology, NO Friendly front desk and easy to communicate with. Offers both men and women practitioners. Treatment room appears quite with no noise coming from reception area however snoring can be heard from the customers around you =o) Typical room set up with "bed chairs" in open area, dim lights. I found they offer what feels like a massage however no reflexology as advertised. Tip generous as they work hard and prices are cheap read more

I think this will be my go to place for Chinese torture massages (that's how I describe these types of massage places). This isn't your traditional massage place with scented candles and a private room. It's a large communal room with raw onions along the wall. I have no idea why they keep onions. Maybe the onions are suppose to absorb toxins and evil spirits or something. They use lot of pressure during the massage so don't come here if you are used to relaxing massages at the spa. They really beat the crap out of you to get all the knots and toxins out of your body. It's somewhat painful during the massage but I always feel better afterward. Price here is one of the best I've seen. For almost an hour of massage, it's only $20 (before tip). There's a Yelp check-in offer for $15 for first time customers, which is a really good deal. There are several different massages you can choose from but the basic foot massage is the best deal. Even though it says foot massage, they still massage your whole body. If it's your first time you may want to ask for mild to medium pressure. I asked for medium on my most recent visit but it was still somewhat painful around my neck and shoulder area. It's kind of hard to find this place because it's located on the side of a plaza. It's the only place that faces east while all other businesses face north. It's in the same plaza as Big Lots and KFC. It's easier to find if you enter from Edwards Road instead of Imperial Hwy. read more

They do walk in appointments without issue. I called at 12:15 and agreed to do a one hour massage at 12:30 for $50.

It was my first time getting a massage ever in my life. I really enjoyed my experience and now I know where to go to get a massage. They really help me relax my muscles and pain I feel in my neck, arms, and shoulders. The person that did my massage was good. He listened to my concerns when I told him to do it more soft. read more

This isn't your standard Glenn Ivy retreat. This is kneading knots from out of your soul, lol. I have so many knots and good golly. I leave feeling like a million bucks. The location is really strange. Located in the Big Lots plaza shared with KFC. Stick to your GPS. I won't give you directions. You'll end up in Egypt. Okay, upon entering. You're kindly greeted. Asked what type of massage and service. Male or female masseuse. Pay for service. You can opt for the communal or the private. I did do private as I went with my daughter on my third visit. The therapy center is adorable, clean, comfortable beds, soft linens and plush towels. There is a basket to place your personal items. I opt for reflexology and then have them torture my back and release toxins from my lymph nodes. It's a beautiful torture. Good pain. It hurts so good. When it ends. You're sad. I think his name is Kevin? I've had luck to get him five times. I'm terrible with names. My kid is lucky I remember hers. Sometimes. They have been shutdown and are limited to what they can do and dude, I can't wait to be 'gingerly' massaged and my soul to leave my body. Tip accordingly and get their stamp card! read more

We've been going there a long time. We love the foot massages! Great place. Clean. Nice setting.

Jason is the best. His techniques were learned thoroughly. Highly recommended. Very good hospitality!

Had a great massage for $35 dollars for 1 hr you can't beat that price. Been going here for years and would recommend 100 percent.

Last night my usual place, who I've been going to for three-plus years (i'm their Duchess of Yelp), royally screwed up. I called for an appointment with my go-to and they tried to give me the switcheroo upon arrival, which I can't stand on principle. So I went to Ava because I went there a few years ago and liked the massage. I called ahead, around8 p.m. and they were able to fit me in for a $20 foot massage. The beds were so comfy, and the towels were soft; however I do think that the hole where you stick your face in is not so great. I had Kevin, who gave me the best massage I've had in a long time. I think I might be switching massage places! read more

I love this place! One of my go to massage places. It's fairly quiet and clean and the best part is the unbeatable prices! I've been to many different ones and this is at the lowest price point. I would definitely recommend ! read more

Been coming to this place for years but now that I been trying other massage spots I can tell the difference in quality and professionalism. I chose the most expensive massage on the list. I never ask for anyone particular because I normally don't need to but right away it was very weak pressure. I asked for more pressure and I found myself receiving a mediocre overexerted massage that I was not feeling. After it was done and it was time to pay, I asked the owner what massage I needed to request to have them walk on me and he became quickly defensive and started raising his voice at me. Regardless of culture, it is never acceptable to raise your voice at a customer who is literally just asking a question, I wasn't even bringing up my poor my experience and obviously wasn't going to waste my time to do so. I paid and tipped and left, won't be coming back. read more

I have been coming here for over 10 years and this place has the best prices around. I highly recommend the hot stone massage.

Yes yes and YES!!!!! This well needed foot massage was what I needed after 9 months being pregnant. They were able to take me in late and really helped me relax. Too relaxed that 12 hours later I'm in labor. Thank you !!!!!!!!! read more

Private room!! I've been to a lot of different foot massage places and usually I'm in a big room with other people, maybe separated by curtains. My first time there, I was in my own room. It's in a run down shopping center that used to have a Big Lots but still has a KFC. It's only 10 minutes from my house so it's definitely a keeper. read more

Very comfortable massage, clean & friendly customer service. Highly Recommend. Never been disappointed

BEWARE!!! I've been to this place at least 3 times with my family. Each time massage varies depending on the person doing it. The first time was good pressure, no complaint. The second time was rough with heavy pressure (the man was using his elbow on my back with all his weight). The third time was also good pressure. Each time was different, but I never complained, and we always tip no matter what. For the prices of the hour massage, I didn't have high expectations, and they did the job. **what really ticked me off was that the owner asked my parents for more money for the tip, adding that he'll split it between the workers. I usually covered the payment the previous times we were there, and we tipped each of our masseuse ourselves. This time, my parents were the first ones out, so my mom decided to cover payment. The owner decided to take advantage of my mom, who's older, and told her that she needs to be tipping more. We always give the average 15%-20% for each, but the owner had the nerve to ask for more!!!! My mom gave the owner whatever she had left. THE OWNER SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!! He took advantage of my mom while I was still inside finishing my massage. We won't be returning. read more

Just. Get combo A. It's worth it. Carve out two hours of your time, cause you'll want to just chill for a few mins after. And make sure you hydrate! read more

Wouldn't honor the fully stamped massage card. What is the point if you won't accept them? The woman asked for payment, I did more for the staff but only realized after when she claimed the card as invalid that they are identical. No need to lie. read more

Guys, ask for Leo! Every single time I've gone too see him, always satisfied. Definitely felt my stress fly away and fell asleep. I've recommended him and my friend has said the same thing. read more

I Would give it 5 stars but the last time I went I got a guy and he's a smoker! His hands smelled horrible and he paid way to much attention to my butt cheeks! It was supper uncomfortable and annoying! FYI if you want a private massage get the oil massage! That's what my husband and I always get! All of the women are great just tell them what you want as far as pressure (don't be shy). Update: ask for Lee lee she's the best read more
