Ok, as for language barriers- typically I do not have issues with my masseuses because I can speak Chinese. This is no exception. This is still one of the cheapest places for reflexology in the area. They do have cash pricing so use that. I just get the 30 minute foot/30 minute body, which is in a communal massage area. It's ok for me. I'm not complaining since this is usually how reflexology places work and you're fully clothed. I usually have good experiences here. Usually I have a male massage me, and they tend to be super heavy handed, just the way I like it. There was a massage I got once that I felt was on the really light side on the foot part, but once we got to my hips and glutes, definitely didn't know I had some tightness there. As for tipping, I haven't really experienced issues myself, but I did hear them kinda judge on tips when the customer was gone in Chinese. Mainly asking how much she got and said the number. I would say it's better than getting a pedicure, so I much rather spend $55 on a foot massage (cash price in June 2026) than a pedicure. read more

First time here, I was taken to a large shared room with 10+ beds, just be aware this isn't a private setting. The lighting and music were nice, but a ticking clock next to me made it hard to relax. During the service, multiple staff rotated in and out, I had three different people massaging me. The massage felt too rough and overall chaotic rather than calming. I was asked to pay before the service, and when I tipped 15% at the end, the therapist seemed disappointed. Everyone was very nice, but the experience was not relaxing and left me disappointed. read more

This is long overdue . IMy daughter and I have been coming here for years. We usually come when we feel pains or aches due to sports working, or travel and occasional migraines on my part. . Francis has always been amazing. He knows and feels the pain points and almost always provides immediate relief. Today I came with tightness and pain on my right hip . I've done exercises, stretching, yoga, and the tightness was still there.. After my usual hour long combo massage Francis worked on my right hip and lo and behold the tightness was gone after suffering for a few weeks. The place is clean, quiet, and the massage therapists are professional . Francis is the best! read more

I would never normally disparage a business like this but I feel like a warning is necessary. I had a full body massage yesterday and the masseuse was SO rough with me that I repeatedly asked him to please be softer with the pressure. An inordinate amount of the massage was him DIGGING his elbows into my back. It was so painful I couldn't breathe. I thought of stopping the massage several times because it was so beyond uncomfortable. This morning I wake up to BRUISES all over my back and I'm completely locked up/stiff and cannot walk. Advocate for yourselves ladies and have a voice when a massage is clearly doing the opposite of its intention. read more

New Year's Eve I booked a one hour full body massage at 5:30pm. I had called in an appointment around 2pm. When I arrived I gave her my credit card to pay. She rang up "$80.00". For a one hour massage that has been $65.00 cash or $70.00 credit card. I said "what's this? You made a mistake." She said " it's New Yeas Eve and we need to pay the rent". What? So that makes it ok to make up your price after people show up for a scheduled appointment? She said nothing on the phone about a surcharge. She waited until I arrived and then just charged my credit card more! And to add insult to injury, the masseuse only did my backside. Although I keep saying I need to turn over she kept pushing me down on the table. When I finally turned over she said "your time's up" and pointed to the clock. Also, I've noticed the masseuse(s) have been getting rougher and this time I had to tell this one (LuLu) five times to lighten up, not so rough, not so hard, etc... she kept applying pressure to my lower back and hip "bones", not the muscles. As if she was trying to hurt me. Really hard. And I now have a big bruise on my right inside elbow/arm where she pushed too hard. I'm in my late 60's. Someone can really hurt you if they push too hard. Even break or fracture a bone. Be careful of these masseuses. The hell with this business. I've been coming there for years and this is how they NOW treat me - a regular good customers. This business has bad business practices, unethical behavior, bad customer service, and is not giving customers what they paid for "a full body massage", not just a backside massage. There are a lot of massage parlors out there! If customers are going to pay full body massage rates, then we will go to a real spa facility and get a "real" trained and certify masseuse! I will not be going back. They have lost my business! Be careful if you go there. read more

Such a treat! This is affordable and works all the stuff out. I usually get the foot and body. The quality is excellent.

Every time I show up, there is room for me. Massages are always on point! YThe price point is also hard to beat! Man... I think I'm overdue!

I used to come here frequently. It was a great relaxing experience at a good price. I didn't mind the shared space as everyone was respectful and quiet. That's until today.. Came with my daughter and husband. Hoping to get a relaxing massage as I've had a stressful couple months with ongoing health issues. I called to make an appointment, we were set at 4. 30ins later, I was asked to come at 430 but I said that's too late. She agreed to 415. We arrived at 410, only to wait 10 mins as there were no available masseuse. Sat for another 10 mins in the shared room and our massages started at 445. My masseuse had great strength, no complaints there. The other 2 working on my husband and daughter just couldn't stop talking. I find that rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional. I'm paying cash for a service that should be delivered. I'm not one to sleep during a massage so yes ... You will be feeling the dirty stares from me as you ruin the hour that I paid for. I'm no Karen.... I just expect a decent service that was prepaid. And they shouldn't assume customers are sleeping. There's a difference between sleeping and relaxed. This business needs to keep their employees accountable. No wonder the reviews have dropped from 4 stars to 3. Oh. And I paid for an hour. The massages started at 445 and ended at 530. That's only 45 mins ... read more

Alan is incredible. Great strong hands and works out all the kinks. Checks in with you throughout the massage. I'll be going back to him soon. read more

After our anniversary dinner at Flemings, we decided to get a foot massage at Head 2 Toe. I had the best foot massage I have ever had in my life! And I pride myself a connoisseur of reflexology (foot massage). I have been getting reflexology once a week for about 15 years now. It is so beneficial for your health. Back to the review... There are 3 things I request when I book a foot massage. 1. Do not wear gloves. 2. A non-smoking masseuse. 3. Deep pressure Lin was my masseuese. He met all 3 of my requirements. He was great from beginning to end. I felt very cared for. He was laser focused on my massage. He knew every pressure point to work on. He also did great stretches afterwards. I will definitely be back when I am in the Walnut Creek area and I will request Lin. He is the best i've ever had! And please tip well. I gave him $20.00 for a 60 min massage. They work very hard and deserve the token of appreciation. Thank you Lin.... read more

They make you pay up front. The lady was brusque and rude when I was surprised about this. The room didn't feel that clean and while the pressure was fine it wasn't like a massage where they know what to do. The place is tiny and the walls are very thin so it was hard to relax. One of the male employees spent a long time in the only bathroom which felt gross. And worst of all friend felt her masseuse lean in with a boner! Awful! Can't go back. read more

Came here weekly during my third trimester of pregnancy. It's wonderful - everyone is so caring and kind and the quality and price can't be beat. Bring cash! Also can be helpful to call ahead to book if you're coming with multiple people or during a busy time. read more

I came in today for a last minute massage. I splurged for a deep tissue massage which is a little more expensive, but worth it if you need deep muscle work. I was so lucky I got a massage therapist named Francis. He was so professional and kind. He worked the spots I listed and always made sure I was comfortable. I'd make the trip again just to book with him again. Thank you! read more

The women checking us out, didn't like our tip. Extremely rude, tip is minimum 10. If you give below that she will say something and ask if the massage was bad. It wasn't, I just only had $8 cash on me. She said I had to pay more. Will Not go back. read more

My foot therapist literally stared at his phone... which he had on the floor. Then he fell asleep while "massaging"... truly awful.

Reservations are not kept so you may or may not get the massage you were looking forward to. Twice this establishment was unable to accommodate reservations made in advance after we drove into Walnut Creek from other cities. Today was my birthday and the receptionist was unbelievably rude to me having wrecked the celebration. I do not recommend this place. read more

I have to give head 2 toe a low rating hoping to call attention to whoever the owner is. 3 days ago i treated my sister and myself to 90 minute massages. I prepaid $200.00 before the massage started. 30 minutes into the massage a loud argument broke out between the receptionist and one of the massage employees. In fact the argument and fighting became screaming. The receptionist was out of control and combative with her high pitched voice, then she came in the massage area still going at it. My massage was interrupted twice because the woman massaging me was trying to calm the employee being attacked. Then the upset employee( masseuse) walk out the front doorCan you imagine this going on during a massage? This went on for quite awhile. Afterwards my sister and i both spoke up to the receptionist to tell her how rude and unprofessional she was. She just kept blaming the employee when she was the one screaming the loudest. She never apologized for making us so uncomfortable or the worst experience. Now im apologizing to my sister saying, I am so sorry i brought you here. I feel really bad for the employees who work under this Dragonlady read more

This is the second time that "Head 2 toe " has come to my rescue I am in the middle of a nervous breakdown and my body has been wracked with pain. I have simply been overdoing it with a home project, which is the kind of person I am if I'm doing a project, I tend to do too much and go beyond my capacity. I cannot think of this organization enough here I am lying in bed, resting and sleeping and consumed with pain, thank you, thank you, thank you My masseuse this time was Anna read more

Head 2 Toe - Feeling so much better! - Reflexology Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I was told by a couple different friends to try this place. I walked in last Wed. to make an apt. to come in with my husband on Sat. I told the lady at reception we need to ensure 1 female masseuse for my husband and I will take either gender. The day of my appointment the reception called me about 30 min. prior to my appointment to ask me to to come 15 min. later since they are running behind. I was already in the area so just waited around and then showed up when she asked. I still had to wait a few minutes and she acted like we were bothering her that we showed up for our appointment. She then asked me to pay which I did on my credit card and told her I will tip after the service in cash. She charged us for the combo service for both my husband and I and after a few more minutes we were led back to the room. They sent in 2 male masseuses and my husband had to tell them he booked for a female masseuse. The lady from the front came back in asking what the problem is and we reminded her of our request upon booking the appointment. They did send in a female masseuse for me husband. Both of us felt the massages were just okay on the legs and feet and that the back massage was not a massage at all - more just pressing down in various areas. My masseuse minimally touched my head and my husbands masseuse didn't touch his head at all during the treatment. When we were leaving I told the receptionist again that I wanted to tip with cash and had the cash in hand which she pointed to the man I had and said to give directly to him. I told her and the man this is the tip for both of us and we went on our way. Today I noticed that the receptionist charged my credit card an additional $20. My receipt shows the total, yet my credit card statement online shows it as being charged $20 more than what my receipt shows. I was willing to give this place another try after the so so service yesterday, even with the negative vibe from the staff and their loud talking back and forth to one another despite having signs to patrons that read "quiet please", but after this credit card situation I will NEVER return here again - Shady and rude not to mention stealing from us is a combo I will not accept and everyone should beware. If you do plan to go here I would say pay in cash only - I would not trust them with your card information. read more

I am writing after my third visit. My previous visits werent pleasant but I thought I'd give them another shot and was once again disappointed. The person massaging me came in smelling like an ashtray just after her smoke break and nails weren't trimmed and I kept feeling her scratching while rubbing my back. After about ten minutes I had to cut it short and told them I have to leave. The manager came in the room and they then had an arguement while I was laying there. Not a very good experience to say the least. They were all angry and had attitude. I would stay away. read more

Most of the times I enjoy my self! Vivian is amazing and overall the woman there are great. From time to time you will get someone who just finished smoking or making spitting noises on the background which is really horrible. Also they need to clean the place better especially the restroom . read more

Keep going back and keep getting disappointed The price is good but the massage itself sucks each time I need to stop going read more

This place is great for a quick pick me up. It's not a white robe cup of tea spa, but it's conveniently located downtown Walnut Creek and offer two locations a couple doors down from each other. THey are a clean and affordable spa. I actually have even tried them out when I was pregnant. I personally think I like their reflexology massages better than their full body massages. I was able to get an appt the same day for one hour reflexology massage. It was 40 mins feet and legs and 20 mins head neck and back! I felt so great by the time it was over. Best part was it was only $35!!! Can't go wrong! Def worth a shot read more

Went there for a massage after lunch... place is a mad house. Employees scream at each other and not in English, they are not trained to give massages but worse of all, it's not sanitary, the sheet were not changed and when I asked they just put another sheet on top that covered 1/2 the area I was going to lay in. Don't test fate. Not worth it from every perspective read more

Inexpensive, quality reflexology massage. I love coming here to relax! They are almost always able to fit me in same day, and the staff is attentive and kind. read more

*Update: I decided to improve my review based on the following: * all reflexology places have increased their prices, not just this place. * perhaps the amenities that other reflexology places offered in the past no longer exist due to Covid. * although the elbow massage was incredibly brutal, In the days following I think my muscles have loosened up. It's hard to say, but I think it helped. My friends love this place so I thought I'd give it a try, unfortunately, I didn't like this place at all. Off the bat I was shocked at how expensive it was for a reflexology foot spa massage. I got #1 which is $47 and includes only feet and shoulders for 60min. There was a sign saying to tip $20. If you dislike rubber glove burns on your neck, then you better cough up another $10 for lotion. -Back in SJ it was $20 for full body/60min, this included aromatherapy massage lotion, lavender heat pad for shoulders, heated blankets for you back, and a cup of tea when done. None of that is offered at Head 2 Toe. The massage was AWFUL, sharp elbow poking randomly into my body. I left in so much pain I haven't been able to move. My neck is so stiff I can't move it. Twelve hours later and I'm still in a ton of pain, my neck, shoulders, and back are in excruciating pain. Why do people overpay for awful service/product in Walnut Creek? I just don't get it, next time I'll drive to San Jose. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! Talk about self care - you need it! I make my monthly visit to Head to Toe and feel rejuvenated after an hour foot massage. Thank you! Can't wait to be back soon :) read more

Best massage in Walnut Creek. This place is clean, professional and efficient! Highly recommend!

My go to massage place. Price are very affordable. So happy with my deep tissue massage from today. Can't wait for my another one. read more

We used to go here before the pandemic and they were amazing. Ever since COVID they have gone down hill! Higher pricing, masseuses act annoyed to be there, and they charge you for an hour but only do the massage for about 45 min. They also ask you for a tip before you even start! Very sad because they used to be good but can't see myself going back. read more

This place is amazing! I love going here for several reasons! The massages are always amazing and I always leave feeling so relaxed and refreshed! I am always greeted by someone at the front desk who is friendly! You fill out a short survey and can indicate areas you don't want massaged or areas you want the masseuse to focus on. The prices of the massages are also really reasonable. You pay a little less if you pay cash instead of using a credit card. I have not found another place that is this reasonable price wise that gives such great massages! It's also next to a lot of other nice shops/restaurants so you can make a date day or a girls day out of it if you would like. I always like to go to Lettuce afterwards, which has great salads and sandwiches. read more

I love this place, the ambiance is very pleasant and peaceful Not to mention it's clean The therapist is very professional, Yoyo is my favorite massage therapist read more

I have been going to this place for over 7 years, since they were one shop, then two right next to each other, and now just one shop again. It took me QUITE awhile to sample through and find "my masseuse," but after finding her, she's been my gal! She cures my headaches 100% of the time, reminds me of a nurturing mother, spending sooo MUCH time working on the areas in need, like she truly cares. I am truly grateful for this place. read more

I found the experience very unusual. You pay ahead of time... cash is cheaper than credit, didn't have issue with that. You're whisked away to a room with 7 beds where others are having a massage, they want you to put your belongings in a tub then when you lay down they cover your eyes with a cloth ...I found this very odd. Lights were low and felt a little creepy for me. Massage was robotic and the "therapists" follow you out and stay there and wait for their tip, I needed change for a $20 and she gave me two 10's , I should have asked for fives but just wanted to leave, $10 tip on a $30 service a little steep for a robotic massage. read more

Wow. I can't believe I've found the perfect massage. You know it's good when you can't stop talking about it. Thanks Francis for nailing the perfect massage!!! read more

They lied to my face several times. Me and my wife scheduled a 12p couples massage, when we get there they take us to two different rooms. The problem was someone was in my room still getting a massage. The receptionist told me to wait until they came out and once they cleaned the room I would be next. The masseuse in that room came out and said hello. As I waited in the lobby that masseuse came and got another customer. When I asked what that was about she said masseuse was late. After a few minutes she said she didn't know where my person was. Then she told me I could go at 12:25, she handed me a $10 bill for my inconvenience. As I waited until 12:35 I asked what was going on now she said they would be out any minute. Finally at 12:45 I asked for money back. If this wasn't enough, the lady asked me for the $10 back read more

I've been coming to HEAD 2 TOE for 3yrs now, and I absolutely love this place!!! Staff is nice and NOT demanding or rude with tips!! They appreciate being tipped, and don't get mad if you can only tip $5-$10, more is always appreciated more, but if you don't have that much more, they appreciate what's fair... I usually always give $10 and up, but I love that they are not rude!! They do a good job whenever I go for the Foot/Back combo! Try this place out if you haven't yet!! I tell anyone who asks where I go for my massages; GO TO HEAD 2 TOE!!! read more

If I could give this a zero ranking I would. I hate to say that but I am extremely frustrated with the masseuse that I had. I had her before and and didn't realize they sent her in to until too late. Basically she spent 15 minutes using a cushion towel to massage me with her elbows that have extreme cartilage displacement so it sounded like bucket of rocks rolling over my back and it felt disgusting. After letting this go on for 10 mins I asked her to stop and let her know I was done but she promised the oil would feel better. But that was not the case she bathed me in oil and just rubbed on my back no pressure ( which I did ask for hard ) and she kept saying her hands were hurting which I am sure is the case. I could not enjoy for that reason alone knowing she hands were killing her. I eventually had to tell her to stop and I was done. i asked for the hot towel for clean up but she failed to wipe down my neck and back was still oily. I had been going to head to toe for 10 years but after Covid the level of masseuses has gone down hill to the point I don't go there anymore. When I left there was no offer of free massage in the future considering I had over 30 mins left in my massage. They only offered to have someone give me a back massage. A terrible way to end my anniversary night. I empathize that this elderly lady can't help how her joints and hands feel after doing this job for God know how long and so typically hate to complain but the massage felt disgusting and the service was not up to par. read more

PROS - Good Deals on Massage Packages - Plastic Container for Belongings - Receptionist Spoke Decent English - Explanation of Packages CONS - Limited Parking, Pay for Parking - Red Lighting - Slight Cigarette Scent on Masseuse's Hands - Cold Lotion After yet another stressful week, I looked up massage spots on Yelp that were around the area that I'd be running my errands on and came across Head 2 Toe. Prices looked decent and so did the reviews, so I bookmarked it and went! Located a few blocks away from The Cheesecake Factory on Locust, and next to a lot of food spots, was Head 2 Toe. It doesn't really stand out and scream, "Look Here!", but they did have a sign posted outside with their current deals that you surely wouldn't miss if you were walking down that sidewalk. I entered a few minutes after noon, and was greeted promptly. I asked if they had any package in specific that would focus on my neck, shoulders and back.. and the receptionist (whose English was better than most, not to be rude) eagerly pointed to a board on their wall with a 60 minute massage package (30 foot reflexology, 30 neck/shoulder/back) for $35. I thought, why not?! So she asked if I was paying cash or card (slight fee if using card), and broke a $20 for me per my request. Then walked me through the doors and right into the foot reflexology lounge chair room. It was dimly lit with a red light, and had 7 chairs. She led me to the last chair, showed me where my plastic bucket was for my belongings, and then she stepped out. I got comfortable and my masseuse Will came in and got my plastic lined bucket of warmish-hot water and my feet settled, then covered my body with two towels. He began with massaging my face, temples and such, then moved to the top of my head. Knocked off a star for sure because of the cigarette scent that lightly lingered on his hands. (This is a yucky smell to me and also triggers my asthma if strong enough.) From there, it went to the back of my head, nape of my neck and then my neck and shoulders/shoulder blades. And after about 10 minutes, he moved the bucket and dried my feet. I was not impressed with the cold lotion, cooler than room temperature. Foot massage had good pressure, very routine-like massage. It wasn't the best foot reflexology, but it was good.. definitely woke from my snore once. I was not happy with the cold lotion though, and he used a good amount of lotion.. massaged up to my knees. After the foot reflexology, he left to get rid of the water bucket that he had placed to the side and got hot towels to wipe the lotion off. Then massaged up to my thighs. Lastly, he lifted the two towels off of me and had me flip over. Then he massaged from my head to my lower back, mainly focusing on my mid-back.. It was just "okay." I felt less effort as he continued on, and his pressure had lightened. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.. but if I'm in the area with time to spare and a need for a massage, I'd check out the deals they have for that day. PS: I parked at Locust Street Parking Garage, right across the street. Check my review on them! Free for your first hour! --/ One for ME, YELP for YOU. @sandyexplores read more

I was on my way back from the South Bay on Sunday and had a bad kink in my neck for a couple days. So I called Head 2 Toe and the woman on the phone was able to get me in for an hour from when I called which was perfect timing for my ETA from the South Bay. Just a note, they have 3 different options for their specials, but to make changes or customize anything it's extra. I went with their 50/50 30 minute neck-back-shoulders and 30 minute legs and feet reflexology for $38 ($40 if you use a card). When I arrived, they quickly took me to the back room where it had a good 10-12 recliner chairs all in a row. You are fully clothed just need to pull up your pants so wear something loose or stretchy. They start off with a foot soak then start working on your neck and shoulders and arms. Then they move onto the feet and lower legs. Finally, they lay the recliner fully flat and have you turn over and put your head through the hole at the top and they start working on your back, neck and shoulders again. Jimmy was awesome!!! It was just what I needed. The pressure was perfect and somehow he just knew the spots to work especially ending with my neck where I wanted it most but never said anything. I will definitely be back again! :) read more
