Still one of my favorite places to get a full body massage with cupping. I've been coming here since they first opened their second location. I appreciate the fact that they had such nice service. read more

I have given this business multiple opportunities and have seen several different therapists over time, but unfortunately my experiences have been consistently mediocre. I was giving chances in hope I find a good therapist while filling my visit stamp card. One of the biggest challenges has been communication. I often find it difficult to effectively communicate the specific areas of pain and the massage techniques I need for relief. Even when I carefully mark the body diagram beforehand and explain my preferences, I leave uncertain whether my concerns were fully understood or addressed. For example, I specifically requested upper-body work using NO elbow pressure, but those requests were often disregarded. They also glide against my back so much I felt bruised. I also found that the combination of deep tissue and Swedish massage was not performed effectively to work on the fascia and remove knots properly. Instead of experiencing relief, I frequently felt increased soreness and discomfort within an hour after leaving my appointment. I was also disappointed by an experience with red light therapy. Before booking, I asked how the treatment would be incorporated into the session and was told it would be used throughout the full 60-minute appointment and moved to different areas. In reality, it was only used for approximately 30 minutes before being set aside for the remainder of the session. From a patient's perspective, understanding pain patterns, anatomy, physiology, and proper therapeutic techniques is critical to providing effective treatment. Based on my experiences, I often questioned whether some staff members had the level of training necessary to deliver personalized therapeutic care, esp when it is hard to be understood. Another difficult aspect is gratuity. At the end of a session, I often feel obligated to leave a tip because the service moment. However, after reflecting on the experience--or after the pain and discomfort set in later--I realize the treatment did not provide meaningful relief. This leaves me feeling conflicted, both for the therapist and for myself as a customer. Ultimately, when seeking massage therapy, health and well-being should be the priority. I hope management takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve therapist training, communication, and treatment customization so clients receive care that truly addresses their individual needs. read more

Despite mixed reviews, I made an appointment for a prenatal massage. At check in, it seemed like staff were unaware of my appointment. My concerns were legitimate when my masseuse walked in to the massage room, and when I asked her for more cushions and/or pillows (the massage bed is as stiff as a board and there is no pillow, only the cushion they use for face down massages), she told me I would start off face down first. I told her I was pregnant, and she confirmed that she did not know. By this point, I was still cautiously giving them a try, but this was making me a little weary. The massage was lackluster... it was more of a generalized light rubbing with some parts feeling like a soft touch. I asked for more pressure, but didn't get it. I thought the pressure was a concern because of pregnancy, but when she continued on to massage my calves and feet (usually off limits when pregnant due to pressure points that are believed to induce labor), that's when I figured maybe it can all be chalked up to not having much experience. I don't think I'll be back, unfortunately. read more

Came here on a Wednesday with my partner and did a 90 minute foot massage combo with back and neck. The price definitely has gone up to $90 with cash for 90 minutes. Fair price increase given the cost of everything but unfortunately, the foot massage was a big miss. The girls were lack luster and not putting much effort in pressure and just rubbing lotion on feet assuming we were asleep. I had to move my arms a few times to let them know I'm awake but the pressure was still weak. Additionally, they were watching a video on their phone while doing the massage so you can see they were not attentive at all. At $90 for 90 minutes, I expect more as I rather just go to an actual massage therapist and pay $200 for 90 minutes as you know you'll get much better treatment. One other thing that irked me was that we gave a $15 cash tip to each person helping us which is above 15%. The lady had the audacity to look at us and say, $5 more please. I'm like, huh? I responded and said the massage was NOT good. This is not a place I will return to and to ask your customer to give you more cash tip is not good business practice. read more

I was looking for a quick foot massage while visiting San Jose, and came across Footlax. I booked an appointment over the phone and was seen pretty quickly. The foot reflexologist was kind, but didn't focus much on my feet. She put extreme pressure on my calf muscles for the majority of my appointment. I understand this is important for blood circulation, but I would have preferred a little more time on my feet. The staff was kind, but I most likely will not visit again. read more

Came here because the other location was fully booked. This location has scarce parking on site but can go to the neighboring businesses. The vibe and atmosphere were soothing and calming. This menu is from the other location but it's literally the same business so they use this one as well. The communal massage hit the spot after a long day. They advertise it as I can choose where to focus on my back or feet but when requested there was a bit of resistance which was upsetting. But nevertheless it's decently priced and relaxing. read more

Footlax Day Spa - Massage Near Me - Milpitas, California

An update on a few more masseuses. Cici - very strong and definitely got the knots out. She used her elbows, hands, and forearms with firm pressure yet fluid technique and some arm stretching. Her English was very limited. But she applied the right amount of pressure for me. Krystal - her technique was fluid and relaxing but also firm enough. She checked on how the pressure was a few times. read more

Booking massages in advance was easy. Staff was friendly at arrival and during our treatments. The price list and treatments were explained to us clearly at entry. Hot stones are included automatically with all body massages, and all treatments are customizable. So you don't really purchase a "deep tissue" or "swedish" massage, you just ask the masseuse to adjust the pressure to your desired level. The couples room had three massage beds inside, comfortable temperature, and soothing melodies playing in the background. My bf and I prefer deep tissue, and got medium to hard pressure from our massage therapists. My masseuse did a good job with the knots on my back, using mainly her elbows and forearms. But she didn't massage my feet at all. My bf's masseuse did massage his feet. Not a big deal, it just wasn't consistent. read more

Still the standard of what I expect. Always helpful and healing. Environment is calm and inviting. The service I got totally met expectations and exceeded. I always look forward to footlax, glad there's one a bit closer to home now. read more

Went there for a foot massage. Courteous front desk staff. It took a while for the massage to begin while the clock was ticking. Overall, for a foot massage they spent too much time massaging arms. But when they got to the foot massage, the therapist did a pretty good job focusing on the key areas of the foot. Would definitely go back. read more

Footlax is the best spot for a strong, productive massage at an affordable cost. I've been a long time customer of their Calaveras location so when they opened another location, I knew I had to come check it out. This location is on Main Street with its own private parking lot with no more than 10 parking spots. The interior is clean and simple. Its not outlandishly extravagant but it feels new enough, especially considering this part of town. The restroom is clean and maintained well. When I came in on a Friday, I was welcomed warmly. I asked for a walk in 60 minute massage and then paid upfront at the cashier. I was offered the restroom and then guided to my private room. The room itself is on the warmer side. It doesn't feel like the air conditioning is very strong. The spa music was calm and relaxing adding to the ambiance. The only things in the room were a massage table, small cubby with towels, and a rolling chair. There wasn't really much space to put belongings. After my massage, my masseuse thanked me and waited outside to say goodbye. The masseuse was Angela and she was absolutely amazing. Her firm pressure and strong hands really impressed me. She was very thorough and helped me get the knots out of my lower back. She was polite and professional the whole time. I would definitely ask for her again. One thing that could be improved is more storage space or cubby for customers to place their clothes/belongings in. Also the face pillow could be a bit more comfortable. If you bring cash, you can get a discount which I highly recommend. The quality of the massages are top notch and you really can't beat these prices anywhere else in the Bay Area. Highly highly recommend Footlax for your massage needs! read more

Footlax Day Spa - Exterior - Massage Near Me - Milpitas, California

I came here exactly a week ago & I had a very disappointing experience at Footlax Spa in Milpitas on Milpitas Blvd. My husband and I booked a couples massage, and from the start, the ambiance was far from relaxing -- it was incredibly loud, with people talking and phones ringing in the background. Definitely not the peaceful spa atmosphere we were hoping for. I had a female masseuse who honestly didn't seem trained in proper massage techniques. She just kept rubbing the same areas repeatedly without applying any real pressure or doing anything therapeutic. It felt more like someone randomly moving their hands around than an actual massage. What made it worse -- and honestly uncomfortable -- was how she kept attempting these awkward spine stretches that felt invasive. When she pulled my back up to stretch my spine, it would expose my chest, and when she tried to twist my leg over for a back crack, the sheet would come off, leaving me nearly exposed in my underwear. I had to constantly adjust the towel and sheet myself just to preserve some modesty. It didn't feel respectful or professional at all. My husband had a male masseuse and didn't experience anything like this, which makes me even more uncomfortable looking back. I left the place feeling tense, not relaxed, and honestly just weirded out. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a legitimate or comfortable massage experience. read more

Great experience and very fair prices. I've done the couples massage (private room) and the communal room massage and both are great. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a good massage without the "fancy" treatments and stuff, this is the spot. read more

I had a great experience. First time here, i had Kaylee she was experienced and i felt she was strong enough for the knots in my back firm for my feet. highly recommend you communicate with the front desk gal, let her know the things you like or the pressure you prefer as Kaylee does not speak english. Front desk gal communicated back to Kaylee and it was perfect. The only suggestion for this place is make sure towels are completely dry. Otherwise parking is great & location on Main Street is friendly to find & safe. my hour and half cost $70 and i my tip was $34 It's a lot of work & i respect their effort. read more

Price here is reasonable. We got the 90 minutes combo for $70 per person. It felt like my lady was beating the crap out of me (probably it is because she felt lots of knots on my back). The place look cleaner than many other foot spa places. Overall I would return, but I will make sure to note them ahead of time that I dont like getting elbowed. There may be a language barrier so make sure you tell the front desk ahead of time so she can let the masseuse know how you like your massage to be. read more

What's an amazing place!! My therapist is danny and he was very professional !! Highly recommend and I will be back! read more

When we came in, we were warmly welcomed by Jina. She also made sure to note down what areas we wanted to focus on for the massage and relayed it to our masseuses. Our masseuses did very well and it was so relaxing that we fell asleep. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've visited this location several times and had been satisfied with my previous massages, which is why I continued to return. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I won't be coming back. I came in with no pain at all--while some discomfort during a massage is expected, it usually leads to relief afterward. However, I left with significant pain in my shoulders and calves. I'm not sure what techniques were used, but something clearly went wrong this time. read more

After last week's Sarah's bad experience, the owner reached out to understand the situation and offered a make up session. Denny is really great, and the willingness of the management wants to make sure customer is satisfied is much appreciated. read more

I had a 90 minute massage and the experience was great. The masseuse applied a good amount of pressure and the massage was great overall. Location is good with lot of parking spots. The face rest was a bit uncomfortable and I had to keep shifting to find a comfortable position. I was also surprised when the masseuse asked me for a tip. Seems to be a common theme for Asian massage places. read more

Good price for foot massage. Service met expectation. Easy to make appointments too.

I've had massages in both the Philippines and Thailand over the past few years, so I came in with pretty high expectations--especially after my girlfriend said this place was even better than some of the massages we had overseas. We booked a couples massage (two tables in one room) as a relaxing date. Right away, the woman at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. She asked if we wanted two female therapists or one male and one female. We requested two females, but just before the massage started, she let us know only one male and one female were available. That was fine with us--I was open to the experience since I'd never had a male massage therapist before. Unfortunately, the massage itself fell short. The male therapist talked throughout the session, didn't ask about pressure, and it felt more like lotion was being rubbed in than a real massage. There was no real pressure or technique--it just didn't feel effective. On top of that, the massage wasn't even on both sides of my body. At times he focused more on the right side, and other times more on the left. It felt off-balance and unprofessional. My girlfriend, on the other hand, said her massage was great. So I'm willing to give the place another try, but I'll definitely request a female therapist next time. The front desk service was great, and the place has potential--it just wasn't the experience I was hoping for this time. read more

I paid $20 tip despite painful experience!!! My therapist Angelar gave me massage with her elbows. Her elbows bore into my back muscles. I was very uncomfortable and too much in pain. I kept telling her not to poke her elbows so deep. My muscles hurt and are so sore despite the body ache I already had. She said she had her license but gave such bad massage. She had no physical strength or technique othering than hurting me deep with her elbows. Upset with her service. Staff at reception was giggling as I was not one of them ,"cultural difference". Rude, disrespectful unprofessional service! read more

I went here to get a full body massage on my birthday. I thought of giving it a try after reading some good reviews. I have never been to this place before and was pleasantly surprised as a place was pretty clean and had its own parking space. You have to pay upfront the entire price before the massage even begins. My masseuse was pretty good and she could tell which parts of my body had more tension and knots. she made sure to take care of those areas and I was pretty happy at the end of it. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I called when they open and they were able to get me in right away. I told them how I wanted someone who's strong pressure, they recommend me someone and said if the pressure needs adjustment let them know. Sometimes they don't put as much pressure due to some people not like it. I came here mainly because I wanted a body and foot massage with hot stone. I asked for the combo body/foot massage with hot stone. Nina was wonderful, she really applied pressure and got all the right spots with a good flow. During my massage, there was NO hot stone at all. So after my massage, I looked at the service menu to make sure I asked for a service with hot stone, which I did. I left with my body feeling nice and relaxed but some what disappointed because there was no hot stone used on me when it says the treatment comes with it. I paid for a service on the menu and did not fully get what was supposed to come with it, because of that I almost did not want to tip due to false advertisement. Not only that, when I was told the cost will be $50, I gave $60 expecting to get my change but instead she took me straight back to the room. I asked for my change and she said ok but still took me to the room first. After I laid down and she covered me with a towel she came back a couple minutes later with my change and put it on my stuff. From the moment I handed my money and didn't get my change back, I was stuck in my head if I was going to get my $10 change and I felt stuck in that anxiety up until she came back with it. I'm glad she just didn't wait until after my massage to give me my change, because I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed it. I also thought maybe that I order a massage without hot stones but after my massage, I went out and double checked the menu and it says it does. If there was hot stones during my treatment like advertised on the menu and I got my change right away, I would have definitely go back there again along with rating them 5 stars instead of 3. read more

Footlax Day Spa - Front lobby of Footlax. - Massage Near Me - Milpitas, California

I recommend that you go to the other Footlax on Calaveras. I usually go to the Calaveras location but wanted to try this one. Only come here if you want a no-pressure massage. Paid for a 90 minute foot massage and out of the 90 mins, about 10 mins felt like what you would expect. The rest of the time she literally just applied lotion to my feet and legs--what? I could put lotion on my own feet at home. Also, the doorbell rang two times during the 90 mins. This was very opposite of relaxing. There were two of us, and both our massages were just lotioning. Want lotion, come, if you want a massage, go somewhere else. Not worth $170 (base price plus both of our tips). read more

First time trying this place! It didn't disappoint. Initially I called the calaveras location they politely asked if I wanted to try the main st. location since they're doing a promotion. Thankfully I said yes. My masseuse Angela is spot on! I knew my body is so tight due to long days and long hours of working, Angela has a magic hands that made my body so much relax. Definitely coming back. The place is clean and tidy. Will recommend to friends and family. read more

Highly recommend Angela. She has great power and knows how to hit the muscles. I go to the gym and she helps me recover my muscles.

Just had a massage here, and it was awesome! The place is super clean with relaxing music, and the therapist really knew what they were doing. I walked out feeling totally relaxed. My mom and I had Danny and Alice--both were amazing. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back! read more
