They massage whatever hurts if you catch my drift. My main place was booked and couldn't get an appointment. Called around. Was in a strip mall. Looked ok from the outside. Went in was waited on. Was told 60.00 plus tip for one hour. The girl that took me back was an older lady. She says 100 dollar and I said I was told 60. She pointed to my junk and said 100 dollar. I walked out at that point read more

I got the 60 minute deep tissue for $50. Wonderful experience, I pulled my neck and shoulder and it helped reduce the tension on that area!

There is a sign at the location that states that $50 for an hour and $40 for 30 min. I took my husband for Father's Day. All was good until I went to paid and told me it was $70, $50 massage and $20 tip!!! Seriously??? This is something they need to post or at least let you know before hand, I have always been good tipper, but this is not ok, and then to top it off she charged me $3.00 to use my credit card!!! Never again!!!! read more

Let's see: did I experience any of those problems? - No English? Nope. Both therapists I've seen have been able to communicate just fine with me in English. I don't speak Mandarin, but communication was certainly taking place. And I just phoned in to make a new appointment, and that was in English. - Mandatory tip? Nope. Both massages have been for an hour, before noon, and each time I've received $10 change back from my $50. Of course, I do tip appropriately. I've been a massage therapist myself, and appreciate a good massage. - TV blasting oriental soap operas? Nope. Nice, relaxing "spa" music, much like I'd choose for my own clients. - "Making it up"? Nope. Both therapists followed similar routines, ones that I would expect to find taught at most any basic Southern California massage school. - Missing diamond jewelry? Nope. But then I don't wear my diamonds to a massage! - "Slapping"? Yep. Percussion techniques are just another tool in the massage therapist's toolbox, and are very common in traditional Chinese, Thai, and Japanese modalities. I'd expect percussion on at least the soles of the feet and the back of the legs in an "oriental" massage. One therapist lightly tapped my cheeks (on the face, kids!) to let me know the massage was complete and that I could wake up now. Both therapists I've seen have given excellent massages: mostly a variation on Swedish, but with some acu-point work involved. Both seemed sensitive to where my "tight spots" (hypertonic muscles) were, and worked on them until they relaxed. Both recognized without my saying so that the soles of my feet are *very* ticklish, and adjusted their pressure accordingly. Both were able to recognize where work was most needed, and spend the most time there, and let the less problematic spots get by with less work. My one mild dislike is a technique that's also very common in "oriental" therapy, and that's taking each finger between the knuckles, pulling down the finger, and "snapping off" at the fingertip. I don't care for that. So after my second massage at Cactus, I showed the therapist the way I do it: just twisting down the finger between my thumb and forefinger with a bit of oil, and gently releasing at the fingertip. Note to self: next time, I'll probably have the same therapist I had the first time, and I need to show that to her, too. Yes, the dividers between treatment rooms are open at the ceiling, and sound would carry. (I'm not sure if that's a licensing requirment in Victorville; that's a city that assumes that if you're doing massage, you're a prostitute!) But both times I've been there, the place has been very quiet; once I was the only client; once there was another client being worked on, and I didn't hear a thing except "Goodbye". Westerners may think it odd that at the end of the massage, the therapist goes and fills a bucket with warm water, brings it to the treatment room, and offers to wash off the massage oil (I ask them to just leave it on). But then I wonder how some folks would react to--for example--an authentic Korean spa, with wooden bath tubs and total nudity. It's a cultural thing: deal with it. The therapists at Cactus provide very good value: an excellent massage for a very reasonable price. All Good!!! I have an appointment for the next massage for this Thursday! read more

I'm terminally ill and needed a massage for my pain. I look up reviews and this place is supposedly good. I call ahead to see about making an appointment or if i can just walk in.. She says it's okay just come in. So i do.. I pay a cab to get there and she tells me They are busy now, and i ask what that means, and how long do i have too wait. She just keeps repeating they busy now. We busy now..we're her EXACT words. I left. Costed me just as much to get here a the massage and nothing. I won't be wasting my time here again. read more

I have been here quite a few times, this is not the kind of parlor that offers happy endings. Very professional, very clean, speak perfect English, have never had any problems with them. Most of the time I leave a little dizzy, because I am a little dehydrated afterwards. The ladies do excellent work read more

Caution! This isn't a real massage therapy establishment, more like a massage parlor. Very little English and no real massage technique. Avoid if looking for a decent massage. Also balked at tip, should have read all of the reviews first. read more

Small massage parlor located on a strip mall. I have tried several different therapists and the reason I'm giving it 4 stars is Nancy. She is the nicest and more skilled of them all. The pressure is just right and no language barrier whatsoever. The price is among the cheapest for these type of places up here. The reason I do not give 5 stars is because the walls are not all the way to the ceiling and there is no door, just a curtain , so a little noisy pollution form other rooms if in use. Big parking lot and close to the freeway. read more

I have to say that this was a poor experience. No one could speak English when I was there. I am very accustomed to foreign cultures and lived in other countries for years. The TV was up, the practices were not clean as my therapist massaged another customer and I somewhat simultaneously (back and forth) until the other therapist came back from lunch eating a sandwich while working on me. It was not the worst I have ever had... the place at Victor Valley Mall was much worse. Those therapists were practicing massage AND chiropractic without a license. I checked. These people at least had proper massage technique. read more

All Bad!! The women there barely spoke any English so communicating with them was a challenge! They told me the fee for an hour massage was $40 before 12:30pm and $50 after that time. However they failed to mention the mandatory $10 tip that caused a very uncomfortable situation when my masseuse kept yelling at me to GIVE her $10! I tipped a lady who's idea of a massage routine was slapping my face!? (no joke!) My masseuse was yelling to the other masseuse from across the room, you couldn't relax because they blasted the the tv over the relaxing music so they could hear they're oriental soap operas and my masseuse seemed to be making up massages as she went along! To top things off my diamond tennis bracelet came off and when I called they told me it was there and to take my time coming back, when I got there they said there was a misunderstanding and that my bracelet was not found! From the moment I walked into this place I felt a bad vibe. Next time I'll follow my instincts! read more

The worst massage experience EVER! And I get a lot of them because I'm a professional pianist and love to relax after a concert. I was so happy to see that this place was open late and I walked in. Was pleasantly surprised by the price as well. I asked the lady if I can have two hours and she said there was another appointment after me so only an hour. The massage was ok, but after 45 minutes,( not my full hour that I already paid for ), she stopped and said since her next appointment wasn't there, would I like to do another 30 minutes? I said of course and she asked me to get up from the table in the middle of my session and give her the money for the extra 30 minutes. I told her I would be happy to pay her after we were done and especially not in the middle of the session I already paid for!!! She started screaming at me that it was their policy and I must pay in advance. Even as I'm laying naked in the middle of my session? What kind of policy is that? Then I told her that my session is not even over and she started screaming at me again telling me that I"m a lier and she knows what she is doing and that my time is up. Well, I always look at the clock before and I know it wasn't'. I got up and stormed out of this nasty place. I cannot believe that she ruined a perfectly decent relaxation and made me so agitated and nervous and angry. I never write reviews, especially bad ones but this was completely out of control horrible!!!! I hope they go out of business with these kind of bed side manners... read more
