I didn't have an appointment and was accepted as a walk-in with no wait. She was very accommodating: offered to turn on the space heater, if I wanted massage oil, how much pressure I wanted. She checked in with me a few times throughout the massage to ensure I was comfortable. What stood out to me was that Lisa added some stretches for my upper back and neck. I felt really limber and relaxed. Would highly recommend and will for sure return monthly for a massage!

I understand all the negative reviews: this is NOT a massage meant to relax. But if you have…read moresignificant knots or muscle pain, these ladies will eliminate it very roughly but effectively. Communication with the staff is difficult, but the service works well for pain relief, especially if you are a big guy who always needs a therapist to press harder. This place is also affordable, at a little more than $1 per minute. I did the 40-minute table massage and felt better (albeit a little sore) walking out than I did going in. But if you're looking for the type of relaxing, calming, carefully-designed and gently-executed massage you might get at a luxury resort or higher price point, look somewhere else!

Dora has all of this experience as a masseuse. It had been many YEARS since I've last had a massage, but pain on the left side of my body brought me to Waukee Massage Spa. I booked a same day appointment online which was easy to do. However, next time I'll book via phone since Dora gets so busy she may not have time to check appointments online. My appointment started at 3pm but I arrived 20 mins early. Dora was able to take me early so I started my appointment at 245pm which I appreciated. I was taken to a private room with a very comfortable massage table. The temperature in the room was great too. Dora provided a fantastic massage with great pressure and got rid of all the tension in my body (and I had a lot). She worked so hard the entire hour of my appointment and maintained the pressure the entire time. She is a miracle worker!!! I also could not believe how much tension I had as she was going through each part of my body. I am going to schedule another appointment soon and will no longer wait years before having another massage. This appointment made me realize that I've neglected myself and a massage is ESSENTIAL to health and wellness. And I would only trust Dora to keep me heathy. I'm so glad I found this place! They take cash and credit card here but expect paying a little extra if paying with credit card.

I've been coming here for about seven months, and the service and care are always outstanding. The place isn't super luxurious, but it's beautiful, smells amazing, and has a calm, clean, and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel at peace as soon as you walk in. I've had massages from every therapist here, and I honestly can't say a single negative thing. They are all incredibly skilled at what they do. The music and volume are just perfect, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy your massage. I highly recommend this place!
