I've been coming back to Just Relax Massage consistently, and they never disappoint. Every Massager we've had there has been very skilled, strong, and professional. They really know how to apply deep pressure and are excellent at finding and working through stubborn knots. What I appreciate most is that they always check in during the massage to make sure the pressure is okay and adjust as needed, which shows they genuinely care about your comfort and experience. They are very attentive throughout the session--offering water, making sure we're comfortable, and staying focused on problem areas rather than rushing through the massage. You can tell they listen to what your body needs and take their time working out tight muscles. After every visit, we feel noticeably better, looser, and more relaxed, with a huge difference in how our neck, shoulders, and back feel. The room itself is simple and looks fine--nothing overly fancy--but the quality of the massage is what really matters to me. I'd rather have an amazing, strong massage than a luxury room with mediocre work, and this place delivers every time. That's why I always come back. If you're looking for therapists who are strong, experienced, and truly effective at relieving knots and tension, Just Relax Massage is a great choice. read more

Just Relax Massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was very disappointed with my experience here. I paid $60 for a massage yesterday, and unfortunately, it did not feel like the person providing the service knew proper massage techniques. I left feeling like I had wasted my money rather than feeling relaxed or satisfied with the service. What bothered me even more was what happened when it was time to tip. The woman became very pushy and aggressive about the tip and was trying to tell me how much I should give the lady that massaged me . A tip is supposed to reflect the customer's satisfaction with the service--it should never be demanded or pressured out of someone. After paying $60 for a massage I was already unhappy with, being pressured for a specific tip made the experience even worse. I will not be returning and would not recommend this place based on my experience. read more

$60 for a 60 min massage. The ladies make you pay first, which is understandable. Not sure why so many people complained about paying first. I enjoyed the hot stones and the massage. It was clean and comfortable. the only complaint is that I think she used less lotion during the massage, so my skin felt really itchy afterward. The ladies are nice. Bring cash to pay and bring cash for tip. There's lots of parking available. read more

I came here with my wife on Sunday (Mother's Day) at 7pm. It was our first time here, because the other massage places that we frequent were all booked up, and for good reason. So we called this place and got a couples massage by lucky chance (or so we thought). The waiting room is very small, like there is a 3 person couch, but if one person was sitting on there, it's awkward to sit next to them, and you'll be standing in front of both the entrance door and the door to the massage hallway. The massage rooms are very small, and even though we got a couples massage, we were in separate rooms but had a sliding door open between the rooms. Which didn't help us in anyway, but helped the massage therapist talk to each other. And there was no music playing to drown out their conversation. I felt my particular masseuse was initiating the talking because it seemed like she didn't want to massage and was just waiting for her day to end. (Not sure what language, but I'm guessing it was a dialect of Chinese). Her massage was as hard as a 6 year old child. I know this because I have a 6 year old I would ask to squeeze my shoulders as hard as she can. And Yes, I did request my massage to be "hard", because she asked in the very beginning. During the first 15 minutes, I was hoping her initial massage was a warmup for her hard pressure that never happened. I did feel her elbows and forearms on my shoulders, but it's equivalent of my 6 year old using her elbows on my shoulders. I'd imagine my masseuse was a 70 pound old lady. My assumption was close when I turned around. Not knowing the language she was speaking to her co-worker, I could get the impression she was just saying/counting down the time of when the hour is up. After I was dressed and stepped outside, she rushed over asking for a tip; I was shocked because we both know how terrible of a job she did, but my wife is nice enough to give her a generous cash tip. The reason why this review is two stars is because my wife had a great massage by Penny. I didn't bother getting my masseuse's name because I know I wouldn't go back, and had no intention of writing this review. (Because I really don't like to write negative reviews), but as a community member, I feel I should pass on my experience. So ask for Penny and avoid the other older, skinny lady, unless you want to know what a toddler massage feels like. (Or if that's your massage tolerance). read more

This place is conveniently located in the Arden area and offers a good massage. I only booked the 30 minutes so I really to go back for the hour. The woman gave me a nice back and neck massage which left me feeling very good and refreshed but now that I write this review I actually want to go back for the hour soon lol. They're nice read more

I've come to Helen twice for my tense muscles on my shoulder and neck. She has the softest hands and is extremely caring to see which intensity fit your needs. It was relaxing and professional! I would recommend massage services here! read more

The best massage I have ever had and the price was totally reasonable. She was very good at what she does. I am definitely returning and tipping her is a must because she does such a wonderful job. Her name is Apple read more

I had some terrible knots in my back and did a walk-in. The masseuse shouldn't really be called a masseuse. A rubber of skin is probably more accurate. She rubbed so much with no technique that it felt as though I was going to have friction burns on my back. I finally asked her to stop short of the allotted time after repeatedly asking for her to focus on the knots. I was asked to pay before the massage began and once I walked out of the massage room, I was asked for a tip. I ended up booking at a nearby spa later that day and received a massage from someone who knew what she was doing. read more

The owner reached out after I had a problem and fix the situation. Top notch service room is very clean and comfortable. Will definitely make this my number one place to visit. read more

The atmosphere was for the most part relaxing. The two ladies were nice and welcoming however before we can even set our stuff down we were asked to pay (which was a first for us) usually the massage gets done and then we pay but anyways we pay and then we are already being told to tip without even getting a massage done.. Once the massage was complete, we met with the masseuse's outside the room and we were asked to pay. My husband and I looked at each other confused as the first thing we did was pay.. My husband hands the ladies their tip and we made our way out. The overall massage was pretty good and they are accommodating to certain needs. We just don't like to be asked for a tip, as it's earned and shouldn't be expected also, it's just an uncomfortable situation... read more

I would say this place serves an average massage. I came in on a whim after physical therapy needing to get some knots worked out. The ambience was nice, it was quiet and clean. My rating is based on experiences at similar type massage places. I wasn't wow'ed. read more

Disclaimer: this review is solely based on initial interaction. I did not receive a massage from this place. My husband and I decided to go here because it was walking distance from our house. We set up an appointment beforehand. We arrived and we're sitting with another man who was also waiting. When the massage therapist came out she asked if it was a massage for 3 people, keep in mind it's 2 men and 1 women I've never heard of a group massage. We told her no! This place is so disorganized because she didn't know we had an appointment. After coming in and out of the waiting room she calls the other man to get his massage. He walked in and not even 5 minutes later he walks out while one of the massage therapist rubbing his shoulders then she walks back into the room. The first massage therapist comes and calls us in and tells us we have to pay before we get our massage, my husband tells her that is not how it's usually done she seems confused and walks back inside. After that I thought it was too awkward that we decided to leave cuz this place is too weird and disorganized. Now after looking at the other reviews I'm glad we didn't go through with it. read more

I almost did not book based upon some of the reviews for this business - but I was in desperate need of a massage and did not have full mobility of my neck. I am so glad I took the chance. Yes, the office is small and a little funky - I do not need a spa, I need a massage. Yes, I was asked to pay up front - I don't mind as I would have paid for services rendered anyway. I saw Eva and she did a fabulous job. The price was right. She found the spots that were inhibiting my neck movement. Two regrets, I didn't take enough cash for an adequate tip and I only booked 60 minutes. Thanks, Eva! I will be back! read more

We called ahead to ask if they were available. Once there, it was a little off-putting that they were very straightforward with asking for payment first. I had to tell them myself what I wanted because they did not ask (couples Swedish massage, 1 hour which is $100). The couples room they offered was actually two separate rooms connected by an open door, with the front room a little brighter because it's next to a window and the second room darker, like a regular massage room. They ask how strong you want the pressure to be, as all masseuses typically do. They even used hot stones on both SO and me. My masseuse -- whose name I don't know -- gave me a very thorough massage, from my back, to arms, hands, legs, and feet, and even a little bit of the area above the chest. I've never gotten a massage in that area before. Compared to the last massage I received at Happy Day Spa, this was a lot more relaxing and again, thorough, which I REALLY enjoyed. My SO said his massage was one of his favorites, the only con being his masseuse had to walk out several times to answer phone calls and assist customers coming in. She compensated by extending his massage by 5-10 more minutes. They provide bottled water and little candies post-massage. Overall, we'll probably come back if our favorite massage spot is too busy. This is worth a try. Support small business! read more

See all

I booked an appointment over the phone saying that i will be there at 4:50 the lady agreed after correcting her its not 4:15. Showed up 10 min earlier. She tried to say that i showed up late but after telling her she said we busy and wont take me. Never coming here again. read more

I feel like this place is a hidden gem, because I never knew this great business existed until a few days ago. I needed a massage with the right amount of pressure but not felt like I was getting beaten down, and after my experience here, this is where I'll be going from now on. I first entered to a small room with a couch, then a lady came to bring me back to a room. There was some confusion, because she asked if I'd be paying with cash to which I replied no. She told me to get ready for the massage, but I'm glad I stayed clothed, because a young lady walked in asking if I'd be paying with card. She had a small black card reader with her phone and asked for my card, so she can input the total plus tip. Once that was squared away, I removed my clothes, put the purple sheet over me, and the massage began shortly after. The lady who massaged me was nice. She asked if I wanted medium or hard pressure, asked if I was ok sometime during the massage, and she applied hot stones to my body. After I put my clothes back on, she was waiting outside the door with a small bottled water and some candies. I will definitely be coming back, and I'll be sure to bring cash next time for a smoother process. Thanks again! read more

This place is amazing. I just had a 60 minute massage (only $60) with Anna! She is super diligent and efficient. It's been forever since I had a massage but she made sure I was feeling great when I left. She can definitely get deep tissue for those that like that. Then Tammy was so sweet and kind as I was paying, she even gave me the cutest keychain and I left with water and candy as well. I love the vibe of this place. Lovely place and I'll be returning with my partner as they have the bars on the ceiling to walk on his back and he's been needing that. read more

Have you heard the Michelle Wolf bit about how she got a crappy massage that just felt like a cat walked on her back for an hour? The therapists at Just Relax are not like that. They target areas. They are strong. They work out knots. I love it. (Granted, I REQUEST this hard of a massage. They ask at the beginning how much pressure I like, so if you WANT something gentle, then I'm sure they're capable of delivering!) This is great value without feeling dangerous (a massage can be sketchy, so this is NOT an area where you should be TOO frugal). You think pampering is only for the bougie? As of this writing, an HOUR LONG deep tissue massage is just $60 pre-tip. The rooms and tables are clean. The music is soft and relaxing. Sometimes conversation from another room or the doorbell can be heard during my massage, but it's never detracted from my experience. One hour here undoes 80 hours of being hunched over my laptop. They will work out knots and go sensitive if a spot is sore. They are skilled and strong massage therapists, and since I really like a deep, acupressure-type massage, I always go here and tip generously. read more

You are obliged to put in tips The massage is not that deep, it's like a body scrub with oil It's hard to find a parking in the location The place is nice but very small If you are looking for a deeper kind of massage... look for something else read more

My wife & I have been coming for a couple of years. Tonight her & I got our usual hour long couples massage & it was fantastic! They are extremely accommodating, as we never have an appointment & very professional. read more

The massage was so good that I don't remember most of it. Fell asleep after 5-10 mins & woke up to the last 10 mins. I left feeling like a new person. read more

Visiting from out of town.. this is THE BEST MASSAGE I have ever had. If they offered an after nap massage, I would've paid for it. You wont be disappointed! read more

They were able to accommodate me last minute which I appreciated. I was nervous based on the reviews. They did ask for payment from the get go which I do understand. What if the payment doesn't go through later or whatever. And Bc they process the payment, like all payment machines, it prompts a tip. Since I haven't gotten the massage yet, I asked if I could tip after in cash and she was totally fine with that. Please note there is a $2 fee when you use a credit card. And it costs $60 for an hour massage. I do think it's a bit high for the ambiance. It's a no frills type of place and the lotion they use is suave or comes out of a suave bottle. But the ladies are super nice and the massage with the hot stones was great. I came in with really bad back pain and left without it. I could hear the other customers during my massage and they were all thanking the ladies profusely. I recommend giving this place a try. They were all really nice. And they offered bottles of water and candy after. read more

This is one of the places that you should go to get a great massage and feeling better after an hour. Yo-yo is the person to go to her hands are very strong and gets all your attentions away feel like a new man. read more

My experience with Just Relax was anything but relaxing. Every sound could be heard throughout the whole building. My therapist was in and out of the room several times after starting late. I got maybe 40 minutes of the 60 minutes I paid for. There was no communication from the staff. The oil they used made my skin itchy and a lot of the times she wasn't using enough lotion so the massage was grating. Would not recommend and I will not be back. read more

First time coming today and it definitely won't be my last! I lift a lot in the gym and had so many knots so I opted for the deep tissue massage. It was soooo good and exactly what I needed! I had April and she was great! I already can't wait for my next one! read more

So 2months ago I had the pleasure of getting a massage by I believe to be the owner we called to see if any appointment were available the lady that answered just told us to come in so we went and was escorted to a room fairly quick my disappointment was how dark the room was I had to use my phone flashlight to see where the bucket was to soak my feet about 15mins later I was told to undress for massage again have to use flashlight to see where to even put my clothing I lay on the table which was pretty comfortable the owner/manager was the person who massaged me it was a very nice massage the only thing I wish is that they had someone to greet incoming customers because she had to stop multiple times to go greet customers it seemed like once she got In The grove of the massage someone was at the door read more

The massage was okay but I felt hounded for a tip. They have you pay before massage and ask you to apply a tip before you even have the massage. When I came out the door after finishing massage she told me 3 times I need to tip. When I said no she gave a big pout expression. I don't tip till I see how pleased I am with the service. I did not leave a tip because she made me extremely uncomfortable insisting I need to leave one. That did not work for me. read more

It was very relaxing. I had Wendy for a ninety minute massage. She was very skilled and used excellent technique and pressure. She added in some hot stones which made it even more amazing. I will be going back. read more

And I ask him how long and he said don't know , after I decide to go sone where instead , is more better and pay more but is ok ask long I enjoy so I cool with that read more

Gave this place a shot and it's a no. The family seemed extremely nice, but the massage wasn't a massage. The individual splatter oil on me and rubbed on me with no technique, pressure, or effort. It was a waste of time and money. I don't recommend. You are better off using a massage gun. read more

Workers are very friendly and considerate. Definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for a good weekend massage.

My wife and I were in Sacramento for the day while our daughter and her friend were at SacAnime Convention on September 3, 2022. After leaving our daughter and her friend at the convention, we wanted a full body massage. After finding Just Relax Massage on Yelp while shopping at the nearby Ardenfair Mall, I decided to give them a call to see if we could come in on short notice for their couples massage. We were fortunate that Just Relax Massage could accommodate us both. One hour later, we arrived and were welcomed in. There were two rooms connected by an open door where we both took separate beds. It was dimly lit and very relaxing with soothing music. Our masseuses got busy right away and were outstanding, taking care to ask about preferred medium or hard pressure and occasionally asking that we were doing ok. Their techniques were wonderful and very relaxing. Before we knew it, the one hour massage was finished. Their pricing is outstanding too and we were both extremely satisfied with our first experience here! We will return the next time we travel to Sacramento from where we live in Napa. Thank you very much for a wonderful and relaxing experience! We will see you next time! read more

The best massage treatment I have experienced. I found April to be Professional, Informative and Caring. I I will highly recommended her I just got back from an hour long massage with April. Not only does she do a thorough job, tackling all the areas I needed help with, but her work space is impeccable. The room is nice and open, her massage table is clean. My muscles were tight and I have knots in my shoulders and yet after an hour with April my body feels light and tension free. I recommend her to all of my friends who could use a really good massage. I haven't found a better, friendlier professional massage place. read more

I called this place and tried booking over the phone. No luck, went ahead and asked if they do walk ins. The lady who doesn't speak any english at all was so rude and told me. "No! Go! go!" read more
