Massage - 3.5/5 Inside - 3/5…read moreParking - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Very convenient parking lot across the street, short walk to get inside. Inside was warehouse style, with an open ceiling and curtains to separate each room. You can easily hear people walking in or talking. The music was just a tad loud as well. Booked a 90 minute DEEP TISSUE couples massage, and my husband and I have differing opinions. The man he received gave him the pressure he expected with this type of massage, which is not necessarily relaxing. He also stated that the masseuse didn't neglect or graze over any part of his muscles, and felt that he really took his time on every area. Meanwhile I had the complete opposite experience. The little lady I had seemed like she just wasted my time. Not sure how a 90 minute massage could feel so rushed. A lot of back and forth rubbing, with no deep localized pressure on any area. The pressure was so easy that I almost fell asleep twice. Also was confused why she had her fingers INSIDE my ears lmao. I didn't want to complain and disturb my husband's experience, but I sat there hoping it'd get better (it didn't). I really need to start requesting men for my massages. I just realized there was no aromatherapy as advertised while typing this. They were able to price match my Groupon, which was nice. We saw the price was lower than when we first inquired, and asked if we could get that price instead. The lady at the front desk said something weird like "we are completely booked today so no, we can only give the price at the time of booking." I'm like you only had to say the second half of that sentence, what did being fully booked have to do with anything? I was fine with the original price. Would I be back? Maybe, if I was able to book with who my husband had. I left slightly annoyed and he left happy.

My experience here wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I was gifted a couples massage and made…read morean appointment with my husband right when it opened. When we got there, the receptionist emphasized to our masseuses that we were to be in separate rooms multiple times which was weird because it was a couples massage. We were brought to separate rooms and the masseuse just stepped out of the room without saying anything. I had to step outside to ask her if I should take off my clothes LOL. She spoke very broken English with an accent so I couldn't really understand her. In addition, the rooms weren't very private. I could hear everyone since it was a big room separated by curtains. The massage itself was okay. I didn't feel particularly comfortable the hour I was there. Halfway through, she turned me over and massaged my scalp. She ended up putting oil in my hair which I didn't like. Overall, my husband and my experiences were similar. It wasn't great but not terrible either. I probably wouldn't come back.

I have a few go to places that I love including YOLO in Glendale and Jin Mao in Torrance. This is now added to the list.

Unlike some other foot massage places, they have just a couple separate rooms sectioned off by curtains, so it is somewhat private. However, you can hear everything - from the person getting the massage in the "room" next to you, the front desk, the other employees in their back break room, etc. So while the massage itself is relaxing, the environment is not your typical spa. So don't expect quiet and peace! The massage itself was pretty good! I did the 75 minute combo. She did my back, neck, arms and feet. She was going to do my scalp as well, but I opted out. A nice added touch was that she did hot stones on me too! I appreciated that little add on! Overall I will definitely be back. For an inexpensive foot massage spot, it's a great place!

The value of the SoCal foot/reflexology massage is one of California's best kept secrets. Whenever…read moreI visit the east coast on holidays, I am truly disappointed that this phenomenon has not spread beyond SoCal. The fact you can get what is essentially an hour long full body massage (on the menu it is a "60 minute foot massage") and a very good one at that, for $25 is absolutely bonkers. KEEPING THAT IN MIND, you should tip these ladies well (easily $10-$20) because they are masters. If I could, I would come here everyday but I average about once a month with my wife and we both leave on a cloud. Each employee is psychic and can sense your tense spots and apply the appropriate pressure. And once they get to your feet... oh geez. I don't want to sound weird but I did not know it was possible to feel such tingly, eyes-rolling-into-the-back-of-your-head pleasure from someone squeezing my feet. If I could change just one thing about this place, it would be to somehow quiet the noise of traffic on Santa Monica Blvd, but I always end up forgetting about that a few minutes in. I absolutely, highly, highly recommend this place.

This is officially my favorite nail salon in Santa Monica. I have been here several times and was…read morewaiting to write a review if I could say they are consistent. They are. It is on flourishing and fun Montana Ave. A great stroll for boutiques and so many good restaurants. And Cha Spa! They do massages as well ... not as an after thought as most nail places do where they may do an extended leg or neck rub while your nails are drying. No, this is a serious massage place with a separate large room, curtained private spaces, spa music and good deep rubs. I had Bill. My friend loved Anna. And they have an outdoor area for nails and massages, as well during Covid, it seems. On a lazy Sunday I took full advantage with a friend to do both. Tip: do the massage 1st, so your fresh polish or gel is not ruined It's as clean & beautiful & serene as it looks on the pictures. I'm usually super picky about the hygiene of a spa and this place definitely meets the bar and goes above & beyond to ensure a nice ambiance. The decor is gold and white. Like the other locations but I like the hood! Technicians are great. I have tried a few and I adore Rose - high skills, the products they use are very high quality a wide selection of colors including the latest holiday specials, and they also carry my favorite Gel X polishes!!! Rose did my pedi and leg scrub -- what a goddess! Theresa did my manicure. She is so sweet and patient. A hot towel treatment is included in the manicure, as well as a gentle massage as you're waiting for the nails to dry -- taking that into account, the price is reasonable. Receptionist was nice & friendly. BTW, they have there own parking lot, but on weekends, it gets jammed. On 12th there is street parking. I thing 2 hours. Meters on Montana. Honestly, I hesitated to write this review because then everyone will find out about them and I won't be able to book an appointment as easily. LOL ... but this place is worth a shoutout.

Got a gift card, so returned and tried full body massage. Big man-kept putting all his weight on my little back, elbows directly on my spine. I couldn't breathe. The whole massage was so painful. I don't know why I let it continue. I guess I was trying to be tough. I should've tapped out. For the remaining credit, I went back for nails. I showed her the gift card. She looked at it and she said I could pay the difference. Okay. The actual service went okay except for the minimal effort, and no results, on callous removal-an up-charge service. But then.... I hand her the gift card to pay and she hands it back to me and says sorry, that's only for massage. Says right on the card Massage, Nails etc. And I presented it prior to service. Unbelievable. Charges me full price and asks me to Venmo her directly. Hmm. I am not going back.

I've been a regular client at Buddha Thai Massage, coming in twice a week and referring many…read moreclients from my own business because I truly loved the service especially with Fah, who is amazing. I usually come in with very tight shoulders and legs, and I always communicate that clearly. During this visit, I was assigned to a new therapist without being informed. Right away, before even properly starting, she suggested I upgrade to a 1.5-hour massage before I could even experience her work. I decided to continue with the one-hour session, but it turned out to be the worst massage I've had. She spent almost the entire time just walking on my back, using excessive oil, and barely working on my shoulders, legs, arms, or feet. I kept wondering if she was going to actually give a full-body massage, but it never happened. I also want to be very clear--I did NOT request walking on my back on the intake form, and it made me uncomfortable and worried it could harm my back. Because the massage was not good, I ended up stopping the session before the full hour. When I asked about it, she became defensive and admitted she didn't really know what she was doing, which made the experience even more disappointing. As a loyal client, I always tip generously$ 30-$40 on an $80 one-hour massage and I've referred many people here. It's really disappointing when that kind of loyalty and generosity is not valued or taken care of. I still paid $60, but the service did not meet even basic expectations. Sadly, this experience has made me reconsider returning. I hope management improves staff training and communication, because this is not how you treat loyal clients.
