My massage room was the first one on the right which was inconvenient because you could hear all the laughter and chit chat happening at the front desk (not so much of a relaxing experience as I imagined). The music playlist was just odd for a massage place (some songs were nice and relaxing as you'd expect and then suddenly it's this weird repetitive instrumental music that is so out of tune that you can't help but focus on it and ask yourself why!!). I asked the therapist if she could change the music and she said she couldn't but that she could lower it, which helped. On the intake form, I requested to have an "add on" of eucalyptus aroma which was completed dismissed/forgotten. Not feeling it. Not feeling it... read more

Michelle and Kyle are the best! Great employees who are very eager to help their clients feel at their best! I absolutely admire Michelle and her friendly greeting! I also feel great after my massage with Kyle! Kyle gave me some great advice on how to relieve some of the muscle tension in my calves. Michelle gave phenomenal customer service by advertising the membership plan and asking about my day. More than five stars! read more

Amazing facial experience with esthetician Anastasiya at Elements in Bellevue! I have incredibly sensitive skin which reacts/reddens instantly to most skincare products, heat and any kind of friction. Anastasiya asked in-depth questions before beginning and explained the process extremely well. She patiently answered my many questions and was very gentle during the entire process. She tailored the facial to my needs, paid close attention to detail and made highly knowledgeable recommendations (especially about home care routines). I highly recommend her and I'm already looking forward to the next session already! read more

Fantastic Massage Studio ! This location is very clean and tidy. The receptionists Cande and Anais were so helpful and cordial. They patiently explained all the different massages/add-ons. My massage therapist was Jacob. He did great work. Made my tense shoulders feel way better afterwards. He was very professional and nice. 10/10 experience ! read more

They don't accept insurance!!! I have sciatica and was referred by my doctor, when I called them, they told me that they don't accept insurances read more

First time here and the experience was great! My massage therapist was Ruiqi and she was so kind, professional, and skillful. I feel so relaxed after my appointment and can't wait for my next one. read more

The massage therapists are great but the way they run this studio is unacceptable. I had a membership that I'd paused and they started to charge me again. They didn't tell me the pause was temporary, and started to charge me again. I asked that they pause my membership AGAIN last time I was in the studio and at the beginning of 2023 they began to charge me on a monthly basis once again. Now they're saying they won't refund me. Buy a massage, don't trust this business with your credit card info for automatic monthly payments. They don't do what they say they are doing and then blame the customer. Pretty shitty, and definitely doesn't help me de-stress or relax. read more

Went to book an appointment today. The website is a bit clunky and the lady on the phone was nice. We got through the entire appointment setup process to find out you have to still wear a mask to get a massage. No thank you, I am not wearing a mask for 90 minutes while trying to relax. I am vaccinated and it's August of 2023. read more

Great massage! However, Candy in the front was extremely rude. If it wouldn't have been for cancelation fee I would have just left. First and last time visiting. There was a form on the front desk where folks had signed in so I started to write my name and she yelled at me that the sheet was for facials not massages. I apologized and tried to make a joke about how I'm sure it happens all the time and she replied with a rude response about how I had been the only one ever, grabbing the sign in sheet and proceeding to explain how she would have to rewrite the whole list now that it was so messy with my name crossed out. The silliest thing. But loud and obnoxious so that everyone in the waiting room could hear. Super embarrassing and rude. So much negative energy, opposite of what you would look for when trying to get a relaxing massage. Recommend you go somewhere else if looking for a new spa. read more

I have been going to this establishment for a few years now, and it is always clean and organized. The front desk staff is helpful and the cost is reasonable (they frequently run specials, too). My massage with Sienna today was exactly how I wanted it (I like medium pressure) and afterward I felt super relaxed and refreshed. She has a pleasant, calming demeanor and I never felt rushed. 5 stars read more

Great-- I had a wonderful massage here with my massage therapist, Shea. It was my first time getting one, and the staff were very mindful. Shea was very careful about my comfort and made sure that I always felt nice and that my boundaries were respected. It was wonderful! Very relaxing, he always adjusted the pressure if I needed him to, and was very friendly. I'm not normally talkative, so I was surprised I felt like chatting. I felt a lot looser and less crampy after my session, especially my back which usually feels really stiff from my bad desk posture! I was kind of concerned about getting a massage while I had my cycle, which usually puts me in life ending pain a few hours after it starts, but I couldn't cancel due to the 24hr policy. The massage felt really nice and maybe it helped me relax, because my cramps were not as bad as usual. The facilities are very clean and have a nice atmosphere. I felt very relaxed and cared for here. The front desk didn't push sales or tips on me, though of course I left a tip. Not so good-- If you have a gift card, it apparently can't be used with the introductory or membership prices. I wish I had been told when I first called and specifically asked about giftcards and rates because it's not pleasant to be hit with a surprise after I specifically asked about it when I booked. They didn't even tell me $79 was the introductory price over the phone, and that was *after* I said I wanted to use a Spa Week gift card. The price doesn't bother me, but I hate surprises. I don't know if this is usual or not, but I could barely smell the lavender aromatherapy during the session. Perhaps because of the mask restriction? When i first laid on the head support I could smell it, but within a few minutes, nothing. My therapist asked about it, so I thought it would be adjusted or something, but it wasn't. I would not recommend this add-on, at least while masks are being used, because not being able to smell the aromatherapy during 95% of my session makes it kind of pointless to me. So I had to knock down a star for this experience. Otherwise, the massage itself was great and I like the feeling left in my muscles even in the days after it. read more

I called to schedule an appointment and when the lady picked the call, I asked her if there are any appointments available, she asked me to be hold. I waited for 5 minutes before I dropped the call. This lady calls me back and asks me, sir, tell me how may I help you !!! I said, didn't you just ask me to be hold ? she replied, yes sir, I am the only one in office today and had a customer waiting. I told her, at least you could have informed me that you have a customer and if I could call back after 5 minutes or so. But NO, she preferred to keep on hold forever making me think that she was trying to find the available appointments. MESS MESS !! read more

Pro: Scheduling was easy. They had to reschedule on us, so the massage was free. Con: Did not get what was promised in terms of a qualified masseuse who was experienced with prenatal massage. Would not come here for a massage if pregnant. Very disappointing. read more

How things change in a few years, they have gone downhill! Save yourself some heartburn and never go over here. Worst customer service ever, the scheduling system is a complete mess. They have a tool for booking that is never accurate and they keep calling back to make you reschedule. Basically, they do not value your business for a 60-minute massage and keep upselling a 90-minute massage. If you don't accept they cancel. read more

minutes after i posted my previous review, someone from this place called me and offered a discount on another visit. sure, i appreciate that, i'll give them another shot. again, they're been so well-reviewed by other people-- they've gotta be good, and we just had a bad experience, right? eh. it was better than before, but... nothing to write home about. nothing to recommend my friends to. very average. the service was better, my masseuse (i think her name was alba?) was better. she was nice and suggested i come back bc she could tell that i needed work on my shoulders. but the actual massage felt like... sort of lacking? like she sometimes hit the right places but otherwise it just felt sort of like nothing. she also had some different techniques from any other massages i've gotten, but i'm not sure they were any more effective than other techniques. my boyfriend also agrees that it was just sort of eh. i did a lot of thinking, and i think that they charge a lot because they have these fancy tools-- hot stone, Himalayan stones, aromas and salts-- but the actual masseuses don't know as much about the body and where to massage as other places that don't have all that fancy equipment and only have to work with their hands. it's like giving an amateur artist a bunch of fancy equipment vs giving a talented artist crappy tools. even with crappy tools, the talented artist still has talent, and you'll be able to see it. so yeah, i guess the moral of the story is to find the cheaper place with more talented masseuses than an expensive one with less talented people. read more

I have become a member after one great message, this has turned in to nothing but a hassle. Two canceled messages later both at their request for varied reasons every time I try to re book on my schedule they are booked out for about a month. How does this work when I have a credit to use for last months membership? I have tried several times to get a message same week or next week as that's when I know my availability, it's impossible. When I asked to cancel I'm now told I'll be charged again, when I can hardly keep an appointment with them let alone schedule another one. This should be waved, it's not my fault that they cannot keep up with demand. I do not want to be charged for next month when I can't even book a message for that month. DO NOT SIGN UP unless you can book months in advance. read more

Be aware that part of the session you pay for includes the time for you to undress and redress. This seems like a sleazy policy to me. So, for a 60 minute session, you're actually only getting 50 minutes of massage time. I will be looking for another place where what you get is what you paid for. read more

I'm not happy right now. I just got canceled 1 HOUR before my apt. I have a babysitter that I am paying for. This is the first massage I was planning to have since having my baby. They do not have any appointments for another 5 days. Which doesn't help since I don't have a sitter. I have had to cancel last minute and have been charged... yet they can cancel anytime and give you nothing but a crappy apology. read more

The staff are super friendly and so are the massage therapists. The place is kept very clean. Overall they are really good. Once in a while I'll get someone who maybe isn't the right fit (too light like a Swedish massage), so that's the only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5. read more

amazing services from the esthetician of the Year Esther ! She's so personable and amazing

The massage was pretty much just putting oil on my body. I would leave one star, but the masseuse was at least friendly. I asked for deeper, to no avail. Not a good experience, as I don't think the masseuse knew what he was doing. read more

I had an extremely positive experience here and have already scheduled my next appointment! I rarely - like, less than once a year - get massages, but man, I love them. And few, if any, have been better than the one I got from Danelle. As others have mentioned, the front desk staff are SO sweet and pleasant. Danelle was very personable too, and a true professional. The little touches were all great (the mint on the bed, the soothing music, the water afterwards). Here's something that I really liked: I'm often cold ("cold and old", I say!), and when I mentioned this to Danelle, she heated up the massage bed for me, so when I lay down on it, it was toasty and wonderfully warm. And then she brought in a special warming blanket which she put on my back and later my legs. I was in absolute heaven and never wanted to leave! For real! The massage itself was relaxing and light (just what I wanted). And quiet, without any annoying chit-chat (as I've had to endure in a few past massages elsewhere). Upon leaving, I asked about their rewards programs and specials. I initiated the conversation. There was no pressure at all from the folks at the counter or Danelle to buy in to these programs. I really appreciated that. For those who aren't that familiar with this area of Bellevue (as I wasn't): This massage studio is in the strip mall just across the street to the east of the Bellevue Post Office. There is a Bevmo near the west side of the mall, and Elements is more to the east in the parking lot, across from a Panera Bread store. read more

Changed rating because they reached out and were professional and I appreciate that. I wish I could tell you if their services are good or not but I tried to book a massage online on the recommended app from their website. Some time passed and then I received this message. Basically saying that they didn't want to take a 60 min massage and only wanted to book me if I did a 90 min massage. I don't see why they wouldn't offer another time slot or even on another day- but seemed like they had no interest in doing a 60 min massage at all. I understand there is not as much money in a 60 min- but I do tip well and it's all a mom, like I, can escape for. Don't feel as if my business was valued. And then also says they had another request for a 90 min before mine- so why wouldn't they just accept that instead were saying "unless I wanted to make it 90 mins..." lol what?? Why wouldn't you just offer me another time???.... just seemed like they were just trying to upsell and then that isn't very fair to the other request if there even was one. So, no thanks- I will find somewhere else lol read more

Elements Massage - Massage Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Aaron is such a great massage therapist! It's tough to book with him but it's worth it. I like atmosphere, I just wish there wasn't so much staff turnover. Another one of my favorite massage therapists left and there seems to be different front desk staff every time I go. read more

They go out of their way to screen clients for COVID (excessively I might add). But when I arrived for my appt, the therapist was clearly sick and they actually expected that I would find it acceptable to be in a confined space for an hour - even with a mask? WTF. So disrespectful. Kudos to you for protecting your employees but shame on you for not protecting your clients. I have a gift certificate and I am not sure I even want to go back. read more

I have been visiting Jacob W. for back pain following a car accident with an 18 wheeler semi truck...I have been to many different massage therapists over the course of several years, and hands down...Jacob is the best massage therapist. Professional, knows the perfect amount of pressure, truly listens, considerate, and has what I can only describe as "the touch." What I mean is that he has this way of moving his hands that turns your body into putty. I have Jacob to thank for my progress and ease of pain, each and every time I see him. I have referred my mom and husband to him and they both agree that he is truly amazing! Bonus: He is also incredibly funny, and knows when I want to chat it up, or if I want to fall asleep on the table. Thank you Jacob! read more

I just had the worst experience here. My husbands birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to get him a massage. I called last week to schedule something. I was told that he was scheduled with a person named Vinny, Saturday April 16th at 5:45. I was also told that I would get a text message 2 days before confirming the massage. I didn't get a text so I called today to confirm it myself. I was told that his massage was scheduled for May and that there was a note in our file apologizing for the change. No phone call, nothing to let me know that they changed our appointment. Had I not called he would have driven 25 minutes to the appointment only to be turned away. Now it's too late to schedule him anywhere else. So unprofessional. We will not be going back, I would think twice about going here. Book a place that's professional and won't cancel you at the last minute. read more

I'm only going to massages every couple of months, I would love to go more, but its just not in the budget for me right now. I bought a groupon to try this store out (I visited other Elements in the past) and really liked the location and also the store itself. It is nice and welcoming and the people there are really friendly. I had my first massage with Danielle, she was top. She applied a great amount of pressure and really did an amazing job. I would definitely go to her again in the future. She understood where I needed work done on my shoulders and neck and was really consistent with her pressure. I went in a second time and got someone else, Tricia is very friendly and super nice. I liked her a lot, but she fell off on the pressure every now and then. I definitely got a relaxing massage, but it didn't go as deep as I had them previously. I think she is the best for relaxing massages, normally I'm sore the next day, so this was a different experience. :-) I will definitely think about joining their wellness program once I have money do budget this in once a month. read more

Landed from a flight with lower back pain and searched for a deep tissue place. When I called in to make an appointment, they suggested Jared for high intensity (deep tissue) work. It was a great suggestion. I am used to seeing a great guy in California so my bad is quite high. Jared was really good and made an impact from the first session. He is meticulous and methodical in his work. Strongly recommend him. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I have had A LOT of massages in life. I will also say that I have been to "fancier" spas. However, I can't say that I have been anywhere with better customer service. Steven, who helped with scheduling the appointment and with greeting me when I arrived was very kind and knowledgeable. His main objective was to make you comfortable and to help with anything you needed. The facility was easy to find with tons of free parking. The inside was very clean. Aaron, who provided the massage, was FABULOUS. Please go see him and tell him that I sent you. You won't regret it. He started the session off by asking what areas I wanted him to focus on and by giving me a run through of his plan to tackle my back and neck issues. I appreciated this because it made me feel comfortable and let me know what types of techniques he would use. Once the plan was approved, I was confident that the session would be great. Aaron applied the perfect amount of pressure. He was very knowledgeable (even being observant enough to point out that I must sleep on my left side due to the way my knots were falling my back). He checked in once or twice to ensure that the pressure was what I desired but did not do this in a distracting way. Throughout the massage, I felt relaxed and felt that I was getting some much needed relief FINALLY. He used some great techniques to stretch out my back, loosen up knots and to make me relax. Once complete, I was really appreciative that he took the time to debrief and to provide me with suggestions to improve my back issues/sleeping position. After ensuring that I was satisfied, I was given a bottle of ice cold water and was on my way feeling great! Both the Groupon and First Time rates are extremely competitive. If you are considering a massage, this spot is totally worth a try. They also offer a membership deal for those who need more frequent massages. I have had a lot of pricier, more-disappointing massages so this is really a great value. I will be back to see Aaron for another visit soon. read more

This is my go-to massage place! I love the appointment availability, bundle discounts and location. My favorite therapist is Aaron. I also liked getting massages from Jonathan, but he's no longer working there. It's in the same strip mall as BevMo! and PetPros which makes it a productive outing for me. Note that this is a no frills place. There isn't a sauna or locker room or other services. Just a great massage. read more

Thank goodness I checked out Yelp to decide on where to go to get a massage today. I haven't had one in forever and I've been achy from sleeping on a mattress that hasn't been to my liking lately. This was a super last-minute decision, but I was extra impressed that Elements was able to get me for a same-day, lunchtime appointment with Danielle. Like others have said, the little touches are nice. The mint on the bed, the bottled water, the quiet and relaxing atmosphere, the friendly reception. They have a "wellness program" which allows you to save on massages by joining and setting up an auto-debit - I was very happy to that there was no real pressure to join up right away and it was only mentioned once by the receptionist when I arrived and again in passing as I paid my bill. The actual massage, though? UH-MAZING. Danielle was awesome! I didn't have anything specific in mind, just relaxation and relief from general back achiness from a cruddy mattress and general stress. She made sure to ask the right questions to ensure that I was comfortable and if the pressure was all right. She did everything so spot on, I actually dozed off a couple times. Right now, I feel like jelly and it's been an hour since I left. Highest compliments I can give! I am seriously considering joining their wellness program and making this a regular thing. Super impressed - keep up the great work! read more

Just wow! I left Elements feeling like an ectomorph, all soft and Staypuf Marshmallow Man-like. Michael found every one of my tight, knotted muscles without my giving any direction. He worked on each one until they submitted to his kneading hands. My wife thought Victor's work on her neck muscles was the best part of the best massage she's ever had. Walking out of Elements into the Seattle sunshine made our day. Every aspect of the appointment from the check-in to the check-out was gracious. The facility itself is clean, spare and just right for a perfect mid-day break. And who can resist a Seattle Chocolate sitting on the fold of the massage bed's sheet. read more

I've been to this location twice. I was lucky enough to get Jared the first time. I usually go for a deep deep tissue. Jared took the time to talk to me and find out my main concerns. Obviously I scheduled with Jared for the second time too. He is very thorough and skilled and has extremely strong hands. Overall, the location is nice and relaxing. I certainly recommend it to massage lovers. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would .... Buyers beware!!!! Dishonest staff that lies about your time if seems like it a 25 min session rather than a 45 min session, the staff lie about contacting you. And have poor follow up.. Stay away !!!! For what they charge and the tip they ask for after every massage is insane !!! Save your money and go somewhere else.... read more

Had a great experience here with Ariana as my therapist, one of the best massages I have ever had. I have tension often in my shoulders and she was able to relieve it expertly, would highly recommend her. Also Alexis at the front desk was very courteous and helped me get set up with a membership and scheduling for the future. Would recommend a longer session as opposed a shorter one. Will be back! read more

I got my first ever massage at Elements Massage! I heard about Elements from my apartment building because I got a good deal for a 80 minute massage. I looked it up on Yelp and it was really close to my building and it also got awesome reviews! I called Elements and I was (VERY LUCKILY!!!!) able to book a massage the very next day with Danielle. I went there 15 minutes earlier (first time client thing) and as soon as I entered the place, I was greeted by a very warm welcome and an offer for some nice tea or water. The receptionist, Laura, was extremely helpful and patient with my questions and I really liked how clean and comfortable the ambiance was. Elements may not be the biggest massage place out there but it definitely has the nicest touch everywhere you look around. A very nice, simple decoration everywhere with clean sheets and pillows. Plus they give you an elastic band for your hair if you forget your own and a mint and a cold bottle of water after you're done!!! Danielle is an awesome masseuse and anyone who's had her (read other reviews!) would agree with me. She is very attentive and professional and her hands are so soft and healing! I had some neck/shoulder pain and sore legs and after listening to me, she did an amazing 80 minute massage, focusing on my neck/shoulder and legs. She spent quite a bit of time on my neck area because it was soooooo tense. After the massage (it did NOT feel like 80 minutes because it was THAT good!), she wrote down the problem I had on my neck/shoulder area and recommended that I change my pillow and told me what to do. She also recommended getting a massage every 3-4 weeks. Because Danielle was really good, I decided to come back again soon! I also got myself on the Wellness program list because it gives an amazing deal every month. The thing I like about a local place like Elements Massage is their efforts to please the customers. I had booked an appointment with Danielle for this Thursday weeks ago and 2 days before the appointment, they called me and told me Danielle wouldn't be available. For the trouble , they offered me a free upgrade for the next massage and recommended Erin, their new masseuse. I didn't go in for my appointment yet but I trust Dan (the owner) and Laura's recommendation and I am very excited about the upcoming appointment! Elements massage also calls you a day before your massage so you don't forget that you have a massage the next day! Overall, I recommend Elements Massage very very much and the level of customer service, the ambiance of the place, the professional skill of the masseuses are all very very very satisfactory! If you want to treat yourself with a nice massage session, go to Elements and enjoy your day! read more

Great massage therapy establishment that provides a great service. I had some pain in my shoulder and went here and I received a discount off of my first massage. I did the 90 minute and it was well worth it. Friendly staff and good ambiance. I saw Molly who did a great job and helped me make my shoulder a little more mobile. If you are looking for a good massage I can recommend this place. read more

Totally agree with the reviews praising Aaron! I had REALLY BAD back pain yesterday and he took care of it with ease. It's awesome that they have same day appointments. Most massage therapists are scared to apply pressure on my first visit because I use a wheelchair, but Aaron wasn't. He made sure he understood my condition and where he could apply pressure. He checked in with me regularly to make sure the pressure was to my satisfaction. I also liked how he spent time on what *I" wanted - he spent a majority of the time on my trouble spots, and about halfway through he asked if I wanted him to go over anything again or if he should work on the rest of my body. The music in the room is also a nice touch, helping to avoid that awkward silence feeling. Steven at the front desk was also really nice. He emailed me my invoice which helps for submitting to insurance. read more

After seeing all the glowing reviews for Aaron, I booked with him. He was great! Unlike some therapists I've had, he could intuit what was an appropriate pressure and was good about checking in to make sure all was well. I also just really enjoyed talking to him--nice, friendly person. :) I left feeling more relaxed, but also like I'd gotten a muscle workout, which seems about right. I'd add another star for the heated tables if I could. read more
