    Curtains separate the rooms
    Amber S.

    I was not expecting to be writing this review. I purchased a Groupon for a 60-minute couples massage with hot stones and made an appointment with the owner for today at 5 pm. We arrived a few minutes early, were immediately greeted (the masseuses spoke very little English), asked for some water, and were brought to our "room," which was more of a space separated by curtains. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear music from the establishment next door, as well as all of the construction they were doing. From the get-go, I felt a bit uncomfortable, as I could understand the masseuses' Mandarin and could tell that there was a power dynamic between them. Immediately, my masseuse (I think her name was Jenny, but the owner told me I had been booked with Mia) was telling Tracy (my partner's masseuse) how to give the massage. Around 10 times, she made comments like, "Why are you using more than one towel to wipe her? No wonder we are running low on towels! You don't need to wipe all the oil off. They are going to shower after this anyways." Our masseuses also stepped out maybe three times to retrieve more materials. When it came time for our hot stone treatment, I was disappointed because it only lasted one minute (I'm not exaggerating). Also, during our massage, another client came in, and Jenny/Mia left for a few minutes to greet them. When she came back, she told Tracy that they needed to cut our session a few minutes short (they had started at 5:05 pm) in order to be done in time for the next one. She also told Tracy to stop applying more massage oil because it would take longer to clean up, and to use something that could sit on the skin/evaporate instead. I felt awful for Tracy, who seemed to try to advocate for us to receive the full and a high-quality massage. Jenny/Mia ended up wrapping up my massage first despite already having stepped out to speak with the next client earlier, and Tracy appeared to feel rushed to finish with my partner soon after. Tracy then asked if she could get my partner water, though she declined. I did go get myself some water after, and Jenny/Mia commented to Tracy, "So you're just going to make the customers get their own water?" Tracy appeared on the verge of tears, telling us that we did not need to tip her because she was still in training. We ended up tipping 20% on the total for both of us on my card (there is a $3 charge for each transaction), though it was difficult to communicate that we wanted the tip to be split between the two of them. I hope that Tracy still received her half of the tip, but I am not certain, as she had gone to the back of the business by the time we were able to be checked out. In terms of the quality of the massage, I feel sad to say that my partner and I both had really unpleasant experiences. My massage felt aggressive and rushed, and it was more uncomfortable than satisfying. I appreciate a massage that hurts in a good way, but this one hurt in a truly bad way. Unfortunately, it sounds like my partner had an even more disappointing experience, describing it as the worst massage she has ever gotten, and one she would decline even if free. She described her masseuse pressing really hard on her bones to the point where she would frequently shift her position to avoid this. Her underwear were also completely rolled down below her butt cheeks without a towel being placed over areas that were not being worked on, and she had to move her towel herself a few times. Otherwise, she felt like she did not really get a massage, as the pressure was too light, and essentially just had oil rubbed all over her. I hope this review does not ruin anyone's livelihood, but rather, that this can be taken as constructive feedback for the future. I am not sure why our experience was so terrible, given this establishment's otherwise great reviews. Perhaps they assign trainees to Groupon bookings? Regardless, we did not feel it was worth it and left in worse condition than we arrived.

    Great massage place.Mia is very hospitable the massage is amazing

    Sparadise Massage in Sherman Oaks is truly a gem. My husband discovered this place 6 years ago, and…read morewe've been hooked ever since! We try to go at least once a week because the quality is consistently amazing. The space is always clean, relaxing, and professional. Every therapist we've seen has been fantastic -- you honestly can't go wrong. Our personal favorites are Raya, Elle, Kim, Kristy, Sonya, Judy, and Brie -- but truly, the entire staff is incredible. Jane and the front desk team are always so kind, welcoming, and helpful. They make scheduling easy and are always accommodating.

Where to begin: I recently visited this massage place and had quite a disappointing experience. To start, the room was in poor condition. The partition between rooms was just a flimsy folding wall, and the massage table had noticeable wear, especially around the face cradle. That alone made me a bit uncomfortable. Secondly, while I was looking for a firm, therapeutic massage, my masseuse, who was older, didn't provide the level of pressure I needed. I didn't feel comfortable speaking up about it, which is on me, but it did affect the experience. Additionally, there were a couple of really awkward moments. My masseuse actually passed gas twice during the session, which was uncomfortable. Also, I noticed that extra oil or liquid was being added without them actually going over to any pump or container. My head was near the lotion container, so I could tell they were somehow adding more from somewhere else, which just felt odd and not very professional. In the end, the whole experience was far from what I hoped for, especially on a mommy self care day.

    I've been experiencing endless chronic stress lately, so much so that it started truly affecting me…read moreemotionally, physically, and spiritually. I felt completely drained, like my body was holding onto every ounce of pain, tension, and exhaustion with no way to release it. Then I saw Kim. And somehow, she brought me back to life.... From the moment the session started, I felt genuinely cared for and safe. Kim has such a calming, grounding presence that immediately puts you at ease. She truly is a healer and deeply understands energy and the way stress gets trapped deep inside of us. She found every knot I didn't even realize I was carrying. Every area of tension felt connected to something deeper, and with so much care and intuition, she worked through all of it patiently and intentionally. By the end of the session, it honestly felt like layers of pain and heaviness had melted off of me. I could breathe deeper. My body felt lighter. My mind finally became quiet again. After she left the room, I cried a little from the relief of not having to carry so much pain anymore. I can't even fully explain how much I needed that release. I just know I walked in feeling depleted and walked out feeling more like myself again. Thank you, Kim. Truly.

The massage was 60 minutes for $70 which wasn't bad but with the tip it can add up. The facility looks clean including the bathroom and the room we were in was nice and clean but I wish it had more of a scent like other massage places have. I like the smell of lavender when I go inside. The massage itself was a combo that I got including Swedish and Thai. It was a really good balance of stretch and relaxation with tiger balm. The lady was nice and her pressure was just right. Parking is limited to street parking and a few spots in the back.

    Phenomenal Experience…read more This was my first visit to Linda Lue's Massage in Sherman Oaks, and I can confidently say it won't be my last! I've been feeling so tense from work stress and constant headaches, and really needed some relief today. After browsing reviews, I decided to call, and I'm so glad I did. The person who answered was incredibly friendly, and within 30 minutes, I was there. The moment you walk in, the space feels welcoming, clean, and beautifully decorated. There's this calm, spiritual warmth that instantly puts you at ease. I had a 90-minute deep tissue massage with Natalie, and she was amazing. She intuitively knew exactly where my tension was and used the perfect amount of pressure. The combination of deep tissue work and stretching was incredible--she helped release so much built-up stress that I felt lighter, relaxed, and completely renewed by the end. Natalie, thank you so much! You were absolutely wonderful to me, and I truly appreciate the care and skill you put into your work. I'm so happy to have found this gem right here in my area. I'll definitely be back soon!

    Came in for a massage was told $69, gave $100 got $30 back…read moredidn't mind cause it's just $1 but it's principle. Didn't say anything. Had a decent massage which I then tipped 20% and the masseuse was unhappy with that. She then told me I was "so cheap" I stated I left her a 20% tip and she told me not to come back to her. She wouldn't give her name but I provided a photo for the owner hopefully she can teach her staff to be more professional. After all, it wasn't a massage I loved & I still tipped 20%. Don't trying this place out.

When I called today to book two more 45 minute massages the owner, Jackie, answered the phone and told me they were no longer going to accommodate me and instead needed to book me for 60 minute massages. And that, the 60 minute massage was in fact only 50 minutes hands on, and they would need 5 minutes in the beginning and 5 minutes at the end of the session. I have been getting massages for 20 years and this is the first time I have ever heard of this. Typically the time for the massage starts once the therapist starts and you get your full time, whether it's 45 min or 60 min (not 10 minute less!). Beware of this place as you might get short changed on what you pay for. Not sure how this place has so many five star reviews as the owner was very rude on the phone.

She checked in on me periodically, asking if the amount of pressure was good and how I was feeling. Prices are pretty good, comparable to other spots in the Valley.

The excuse was there was a misunderstanding and the receptionist told the masseuse NOT to include the hot stones Unbeknownst to me of course. I complained and said that's not good business etiquette. She wrote me a $10 gift certificate. That doesn't actually solve the issue at hand. I made way more than the certificate. If you go, be sure to mention the type of massage you want more than once or twice.
