    Diane the owner is so sweet and accommodating…read more I had a nice massage with a man for $65 plus tip. I work at a massage school too - victory career college but it's nice to have someone who experienced and not still training. Ty. Will be back!

    I was hopeful as my excellent regular massage therapist was injured in a car accident so I was…read morelooking for something local and affordable. I have heard mixed experienced from locals about Belmont Shore Spa and thought I would at least give it a try because the rates looked very affordable. I originally talked with Diane about a 90-minute deep tissue and at the time 60 was avail for the next day. I booked that for the next day and was told she would send verification to text and it was not received till next day (minor concern). But I got a nervous feel, and I was told many times CASH! That is no problem. Then what seemed like a nice shift.. I was informed Lynn could take me for 90 minutes if I came by right away. And I asked fee and was told $100 cash which is also listed on the website. Great .. easy . I grabbed a $100 and was out the door. Parking was horrible though and I had to walk literally 4 blocks. Upon arriving Diane was friendly and introduced me to Lynn who seemed tense, and non-communicative. I wasn't expecting just curtains and no private rooms which felt mediocre to me but I understand this type of set up is often customary. I undressed and ask Lynn to please use just coconut oil. The massage was incredibly rough and I had to say a few times to go lighter. The experience was horrible.. tense, then she got on top of me and straddled my body digging in. This felt incredibly uncomfortable though I know this is done in some traditions. But it felt unprofessional. To me there is no need to straddle someone on the table. I wondered if this was some Thai sex massage parlor, it made me uncomfortable. When I tried to talk about what I needed and what to do she shushed me for talking. This made me even more uncomfortable- Though some areas of my body did feel looser after the massage. That night I had horrible pain and felt worse. Now I have had massages for over 40 years and NEVER once had this kind of reaction. I still have burning in my shoulder and felt she caused injury. To make matters worse then I went to pay $100 which I was told and she said it was $105. Luckily I had atm which sometimes when paying cash I don't bring ATM. . So felt extremely tacky to atm me for $5. Next I was never asked by Lynn or Dianne if I would like to leave a tip. AND TIPPING IS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!! Hassling customers for tips is simply unprofessional .. HINT Customers will WANT to tip for exceptional care and service. Before I left I asked some other questions to find Lynn for example is there 9-6 M-F Like seriously? I get it now. This is a sweatshop slumlord style operation where they overwork their massage therapists and probably pay them little. Instead of basic business skills. Then I'm on the Freeway about 15 minutes later and receive a call from Dianne asking where is the tip? Are you serious? How stressful, tacky, unprofessional and just rude. .. Completely unprofessional, miscommunication, misrepresentation on website of fees. SO yes this is one of the cheapest spots in 90803 area code but now I know why. If you want a cheap massage this is your place ===customer beware! I have now talked to two other neighbors that had horrible experiences at this location. This review is on Diane and what I experienced, and the painful and unfriendly massage I had with Lynn. Won't be back, and will tell my friends, to stay away in droves.

    Ambiance Day Spa in Long Beach on 4th and Termino is a very nice, clean GEM in between a pizza spot…read moreand hair salon. What drew me to this place were the various services they offer: infrared sauna, compression therapy, salt room and other self-care treatments! I booked with the owner who was kind to share there was an upcoming special so I booked my appointment on the day of the special she had running. Thank GOD for the special because they are a bit pricey, imo but it is worth the coins. Arrived early and was able to get a tour by the receptionist (didn't get her name) showed me around everything was clean, well organized and a vibe. My service was compression therapy with Camille and apparently I'm a G (self-titled) because I was told after my session that most first timers are recommended to get 45 mins -- mine was 1hr. The therapy was like a combo of detox, massage with applied pressure and HIGH heat. It has low, medium and high setting mind you you're wrapped up and drenched from head to toe when you're done. What I loved most was the attentiveness and care Camille took with me. Explaining everything. Made me feel comfortable. Checked in on me during the session. Helped me get fluids in (because you can't move that much with the wraps). Camille is truly so sweet and I would love to do future sessions with her. This review is reflective of my experience on 7/5/25.

The treatment options are superior yet well priced. They are thoughtful and don't just try to push treatments you don't need, rather they take the time to get to know you and make reasonable recommendations. Laura really cares about her clients. At one facial I was talking about my mom and Laura asked me if my mom's name was Judy. I was surprised and said yes, and then Laura told me she was a client too. Laura was only able to connect the dots because she knew my mom, not just as an appointment but as a person. The kindness and empathy Laura expressed to both of us during the last year of my dad's life was so appreciated.

My massage therapist's name was Sala and she did an incredible job. I couldn't recommend her more, she's amazing. I left with my body feeling so relaxed and at ease. I've been going to this place for the last three years and I have never been disappointed with their customer service and lovely massages.

    Came here hoping for some back relief. I booked online for a one hour deep tissue/sport/shiatsu…read moremassage. In the notes I requested cupping to be added as well. Came in and was brought back at my appointment time. Immediately my massage therapist noticed the tension in my back. But honestly didn't spend much time on my back. Disappointed and frustrated. Also I had a foot cramp in the middle of when she was working on my calfs and feet, but insisted I relax. I literally couldn't; I had a cramp! And she kept working on that area. At the end of the massage she did some techniques on my head I REALLY didn't like. Best way I can describe it was rubbing my head vs massaging it. And she did some hitting on my head; which I didn't like at all. And then she was done. Like what?! You're gonna end a massage by rubbing and hitting my head?! Also, I didn't get the full one hour massage time. When I paid at the front and asked the front desk about how I didn't get cupping, or my full hour, all he said was "oh okay." No apology. Unacceptable for a service based business.
