I stopped by this massage place last night on a whim while passing through the area. The shop itself was clean, and they were advertising a $40 one-hour special, which seemed like a great deal. The massage therapist was polite enough, but unfortunately the massage itself was anything but relaxing. I repeatedly asked her to use less pressure because it was far too painful, but she either didn't understand or chose to ignore my request. Instead of feeling my muscles loosen up, I spent most of the session trying to endure the pain. With about five minutes left, she subtly suggested that there were "additional services" available if I was interested. I looked at her, politely declined, and tried to pretend the conversation never happened. It was awkward and completely unnecessary. As the session was coming to an end, the pain in my neck became unbearable. I finally told her I had had enough and asked to stop early because I genuinely couldn't take it anymore. When I checked out, I left a $10 tip, which I thought was perfectly reasonable considering my experience. She immediately told me the minimum tip should be $20. I've heard this line at too many massage places before, and it's always the same story--asking for more regardless of the quality of the service. I politely refused, paid my bill, and walked out. The real nightmare started the next morning. I woke up with excruciating pain at the base of my neck. It honestly felt like the bones were about to snap. I could barely stand up straight, and every movement sent sharp pain through my neck and upper back. A massage is supposed to leave you feeling refreshed and relieved--not injured. I'm not sure how long this pain will last, but one thing is certain: I will never be returning. What started as an attempt to relax turned into one of the worst massage experiences I've ever had. read more

My wife and I decided to try this new massage place after seeing it one evening after dining at Good Alley. The place is clean and while the massage from Nancy wasn't bad. The annoying thing was my masseuse's phone rang twice during my massage. Worst yet, she answered it. I find it both rude and unprofessional. When a client has booked a session that time should be for the client. It's very unprofessional to be letting your ring and then answering it. Additionally, there are a lot of people talking unnecessarily in the lobby so this is far from a quiet and soothing massage. During a good massage, I can usually fall asleep but there was just way too much noise. Sorry this disappointed both my wife and I. read more

My husband and I recently tried this place on a Sunday night. Since they're new and offering a promotion, we decided to check them out. We enjoy going to spas and getting good massages to help us relax, so we booked a 90-minute full body massage each. First impressions: the place was clean, and the lady at the front desk was friendly. She ended up being my masseuse, Wendy. I told her I wanted her to focus on my shoulders, shoulder blades, and mid-back, and she did focus there. Unfortunately, her technique made the experience very uncomfortable for me. The pressure was too hard, so I asked for medium, but even after adjusting, her strokes were too fast and she used her elbows so much that the bony part kept pressing into my spine, making me tense up. I had to tell her multiple times that it hurt, and she could tell from how I moved, but it didn't improve. On top of that, she massaged areas that should never be included, like my groin, the back of my knees, and the bony parts of my hands. I felt uncomfortable about 80% of the time and left in pain instead of relaxed. My husband's experience: his masseuse, Nancy, was unprofessional -- her phone rang twice during the massage, and she actually answered both times. That completely ruined the atmosphere, especially since we had even silenced our own phones out of respect. Overall, this was the worst massage experience I've ever had. I walked out feeling sore, not relaxed, and I honestly don't think the staff have proper massage training. We would never go back. read more

Balinese Massage Therapy - Massage Therapy Near Me - Rosemead, California

I jst had a massage here and honestly it was so good. The pressure was spot on the whole time--not too soft, not too rough, just that perfect deep tissue press that gets into the knots without making you wince. I usually have to ask places to adjust the pressure like 2 or 3 times but here they just knew exactly how to handle it from the get go. The staff were super friendly and made me feel really comfortable right away. They greeted me with smiles and were very polite but also warm, not robotic like some spas can be. You can tell they care about their clients and actually pay attention to what you need instead of just going through the motions. I appreciated that alot. Technique-wise, they were clearly very skilled. They hit all the right spots, especially on my shoulders and lower back, where I always get really tense. I walked out feeling lighter and way more relaxed. Honestly, if you're looking for a really solid Balinese massage with people who know what they're doing, this place is def worth it. Will defintely come back next time. read more

This place used to be the Franklin Palace Massage, when John was here, he was a great massage therapist. It used to be dingy and out dated but the owner was nice and respectful. Now that is under new ownership and is renovated, it looks better but the people are rude and disrespectful, once you pay ( you pay ahead of time), they talking loud, answering their phones and worse, they have their phone on notifications, is not relaxing when you hear the bell going off every 5 minutes. Ding, ding, ding, so many times I was about to stopped the massage but wanted to give the guy a chance. He is horrible, lots of pushing and elbow. He rather massage your bone than muscle, same repetitive movements on the same spot, it hurts after awhile like rubbing 2 sticks together to start a fire. I'm paying for 90 minutes, we not going anywhere, he doesn't need to do so fast. I still gave him $30 tips cause he's old and I felt bad for him. I didn't even get a cup of water, he was just waiting at the front like I'm go to run out without tipping. Most places, at least give you a cup of water or sometimes a small bottle water. Not here, they will wait for you at the door, hanging out like you owe them money. Never coming back, I rather go next door to see Yen at Sea Spa, Yen gives a great deep tissue massage. read more

I recently had a foot massage at Balinese Massage Therapy after a round of golf. This is a newly opened shop in Rosemead, and was so happy I went! In just 1 hour, my legs, feet and upper body felt fabulous! I read that massaging your feet & legs helps the entire body, and it's true! And because the shop is new, it's really clean and everything's new! Need to try a body massage next! Quiet, relaxing, and welcoming! Looking to go back! read more

I had a 90 min combination massage for $60. I gave the therapist a $20 tip and she insisted on getting $30 which is a 50% tip for the service!!! I was shocked and appalled! I thought I was being fair with a 33% tip considering she wasn't even that good and the massage was not relaxing at all. Sadly I won't be back. Very disappointing service and a huge turn off! read more
