I like to wear loose fitting clothes and a soothing fountain is heard along with relaxing music to escape from a hectic day!

Amazing! I come once a week as I can't get enough of the wonderful massages at Bao Spa. I highly recommend the combo of massage and reflexology that lasts 90 minutes.

I don't think I'll ever be coming back. The massage was painful and felt rushed. The reviews made me feel like it would be worth the $70 but I quickly learned that it wasn't. I still tipped $15 but it wasn't deserved.

How much do 30 minute and 1 hour massages cost?

Why do you require a vaccine card when no one else does?

I don't know if they still do. Maybe site not updated. Pls call them directly to ask.

A hidden gem in West Los Angeles. MD Foot Massage is a clean, simple, no-frills massage shop with…read morevery reasonable prices and excellent massage practitioners. I've been here many times over the years and have never had a bad experience. The therapists are consistently skilled and attentive, especially when working on the upper back, shoulders, neck, and along the spine. The massage is focused, and genuinely therapeutic. If you're looking for an excellent traditional Chinese massage without the expensive spa atmosphere or prices, MD Foot Massage is hard to beat. Highly recommended!

We waited till our room set up was cleaned and ready. They put us in a draped area next to the reception area and you can hear traffic outside, people coming in and out of the shop. Hard to relax even with the soothing music The two ladies that did our massages seemed good but then my masseuse took my legs and pushed all the way back hard and my knee tweaked. I didn't think much of it- but I play pickleball daily and now my knee is killing me so I need to take time off I did like the back massage especially with the hot stones- but to me there are plenty of other places in West LA that are very good so I won't be back- especially because of my knee pain

Upon arrival they were a little disorganized with the appointments, but accommodated me for my appointment time. Cindy was fantastic. Clearly a masseuse- best foot massage during the pedicure. So good I did an additional shoulder massage. Pedicure was clean and done well. Very reasonable prices. Great location on Montana. I'll be back!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Cha Spa was frustrating enough that I feel…read moreothers deserve a fair warning. It started before I even walked in. The phone number listed online wasn't working -- it doesn't even accept voicemail. When I finally found a number that connected, I was directed to a different location than expected. The person who took my call, "Diane," promised she would handle my appointment. She never showed up. When I arrived for my scheduled pedicure and foot massage, the only staff member present responded to my mention of an appointment by yelling at me to "call her!" -- visibly annoyed. Shortly after, she yelled again asking "inside or outside?!" with no explanation. As a first-time visitor, I had no idea what she meant, and no one offered to clarify. The disorganization didn't stop there. When I asked basic questions, staff couldn't answer them. At one point, employees were arguing with each other in front of me -- that is simply not normal or acceptable in a customer-facing business. Things got more uncomfortable at checkout. I presented my gift certificate, and the staff member called her manager and began yelling in Chinese over the phone. When I expressed discomfort, I was dismissively told "that's just how we speak." That is not a response a paying customer should ever receive. The one bright spot was Suzy, who performed my pedicure with genuine care and professionalism. She is the sole reason this isn't a zero-star review. A note to the owner: Please fix your contact information -- one of your listed phone numbers doesn't work or accept voicemail, and it creates a poor first impression before a customer even walks through the door. More importantly, please invest in training your staff to treat customers with basic respect and warmth. Yelling and arguing are not acceptable in front of guests. If internal conversations need to happen, take them to the back -- out of earshot. If owning a business in the U.S. has been your dream, please don't let customers become casualties of that journey. We should leave feeling relaxed and valued, not stressed and unwelcome. With some changes, this place has real potential -- but right now, the experience does not match that promise.

My therapist was a young guy who was trying hard, but didn't seem too experienced. I verbalized to him several times what I did and didn't want and he just seemed to give a nervous laugh. I also indicated in the initial assessment paper that I have a shoulder injury, but apparently he hasn't even looked at it and went straight for pulling my shoulder. So what was the point of my filling out the body assessment sheet? Overall, I firmly disliked the massage technique. I specifically paid extra for deep tissues, but he only focused on trigger points which was more aggravating than anything else. After a while, I gave up giving him instructions when I saw that he was unable to give me what I wanted. I was so happy when the massage ended finally. I came outside and told the man at the front desk about my experience. He simply stared at me and said "ok" and then proceeded to ask me how much I wanted to leave for a tip. Horrible business practice. So no, won't be going back. There are tons of other places across town that are 20 to 30% less expensive and will give you a far more enjoyable experience.
