I don't understand why this place is not more busy. $30 for a really good massage . I've been a few times but the most recent experience made me want to come and give a good review. I had a splitting headache and neck ache from working at a computer all week and told the masseur before i lay down. He focused on that area and it was a transformation! I felt like he was very much in tune to where I needed the most attention. I occasionally go to the fancy spas in SB but I think the real talented masseurs work here! Be prepared to be asked if you want an extra 20 mins etc as they always ask near the end. Highly recommend. read more

amazing five stars I went to see Jack ! I specifically said how sore I was around my neck and shoulders, and he was so incredibly strong did wonders. I'm so grateful to have gone in best massage I have received in a long time. read more

This place sucks. I've tried three times to get a peaceful massage and all they do is talk, talk, talk. the staff has no Respect for others having a massage. It's not worth it! I've lived in the neighborhood most of life and I wish Evans relax station would come to Goleta. Quality massage with respect. Don't waste your money because you won't be able to relax...isn't that the point of massage? check out Evan's on state and Calle Laureles near CVS. read more

Emily 290 is very good at massaging and relaxing. Very patient and experienced. Trust me and enjoy a good massage here. Nice experience with Emily! read more

Clean, fantastic service and very straightforward. I love a no frills, rejuvenating massage. Highly recommend their foot massage and chair massage. They throw in a Thai style massage as well. Excellent. Coming back again while I'm still in town. read more

After much contemplation on whether or not to leave a review, I decided it may be best to warn others. I stopped by my normal go-to Asian massage spot, Evan's Relaxation Station on northern State Street, but the wait was outrageous. I was pressed for time and decided it would be best to go closer to home at this Little Rainbow Spa in Goleta. I walked in with one person in front of me. We waited for a few minutes until a gal who didn't speak English arrived to 'greet' us all flustered. Both the fella in front of me and myself pointed to what services we wanted on the price sheet. She waved us both to go to the back with her, and pointed him to a chair and me to a bed. They did not tell me whether to leave all my clothes on, take my shirt off, or remove all my clothes. I sat there for 7 minutes awkwardly without being spoken to. Once a gal arrive, she signaled for me to take off my pants and shirt. I did so and got under the sheet. She then began the massage not asking what type of pressure I'd like. I am a believer in deeper the better. Every 5 minutes she would ask "harder or too hard? in a broken accent." I attempted to speak English to her on multiple occasions but she simply shrugged. Throughout the entire massage she would begin in one area of my body, then move to another, then another but wouldn't repeat the same maneuvers on the opposite side of my body leaving me uneven. She kept exhaling exhaustively and then would laugh. When it was time to turn over, I realized it was because she was extremely hot and was sweating down her forehead. She was overheating and trying to apologize, but didn't know hot to in English. At that point she also wasn't putting her all into it. I really wasn't able to relax at all due to the inconsistency. Upon leaving, I went to pay in cash and she had to go to the back for change twice. I ended up leaving her a large tip because I felt bad that she has to work so hard in poor conditions. They should really have air conditions or at least a fan in the rooms. When I got home, I looked in the mirror to find a bruise on my forehead between my eyes due to the old bed not being properly padded and rubbing on my face. I can't say I'd recommend this place. read more

See all

The best! I come in here from time to time, and it's great that you can just pop in without an appointment.

I went to this place today for the first time and got a foot massage. I am very happy with the result. The person,Honda,gave me an excellent massage,and price was great for 30 minutes. Nothing fancy,but good. read more

Why does this place smell so strong of cigarettes? Was like Vegas casino. I had to leave without the massage.

Visited for a foot massage and it was amazing. The spa is serene, with a calming ambiance. The staff were friendly and professional. My massage, done by Jessica was perfect - relieving all the tension. Reasonably priced and definitely worth a visit for anyone needing relaxation or foot pain relief. Highly recommend! read more

The women that work here do a good Job over all, but the men that I have experienced have been absolutely terrible. I just walked out from yet another bad experience with another male masseuse. They also smoke frequently and then their hands smell like smoke when they are massaging you- I have not experienced this with the women just the men. It is quite convenient to be able to walk in, and the price is good as well. read more

Writing this review from the parking lot. Drove all the way from uptown sb to goleta because I had seen this banner out front a few days ago for 1 hour foot massage for $20. We go in and tell them that's what we'd like and they told us it's only between hours of 10am-1pm, but we could get the regular priced foot massage, $35 for an hour - almost twice the price! I'd have gladly paid $35/hr if that's what I was led to believe the price was, but this is a bait and switch and completely false advertising and I am pissed. I would have gone to the one 2 minutes from my house but now don't plan on giving them my money ever again. Super lame. Waste of gas. Heading to evans relaxing station instead. read more

Little Rainbow Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - Goleta, California

Decided to try this location today as I had decent experiences at 2 other locations. Worst "massage" ever! I told my lady masseuse (who didn't speak English) to please use the oil I brought with me and to avoid my left big toe due to an injury. She seemed to understand after a minute of me explaining and using hand signals. She then proceeded to use her own oil on my neck (which had a scent, I am allergic to perfume) and I had to tell her to please use my oil, again she seemed to understand me but then used her own oil two more times and even had the audacity to pretend that she was using mine when I looked down towards my feet where she was working. She had zero technique and zero care in what she was doing, she also kept talking to her neighbor. Additionally she pressed on the toe I requested she avoid. Upon checkout she pretended to not understand that I wanted her to give me change for a $20 bill so as to tip her (even though she didn't really deserve one), and then tried to keep the entire $20. She then asked how much tip I wanted to give and I said $5, at which point she got visibly angry and then threw my change on the counter. Will never go back and definitely don't recommend this place at all. read more

I love the $20/hour foot message. It is the absolute best deal in town. 10:00 am-12:00 everyday!

My husband and I went for a one hour foot massage yesterday. To say we were unimpressed is an understatement! The woman who did my husband's massage was apparently the coordinator of the place. During my husband's hour long massage, she stepped away from him at least four times to go to the front. She was gone for at least ten minutes in total! She also spoke on her cell phone while sitting at my husband's feet. To make matters worse she constantly conversed with the other employees the entire time making my massage very uncomfortable! This was the most unprofessional massage we have ever had! My was adequate at best. Do not recommend this place! read more

The Calle Real location in Goleta was great! Ask for Sophia and she will guide you to one of their seasoned Chinese style massage therapists. I pay competitive seniors doubles and always have some aches and pains... I got a 2-hour full body massage and felt like new afterwards. Highly recommended. read more

Got the combo foot and body massage for $40 for 60 mins, which I highly recommend and had a really good experience. It started out with laying on my back with eyes covered and feet soaking in a warm bath of flowers. My male masseuse worked from my head and neck to my arms, wiped my feet before proceeding to foot and calf massage. Then I flipped over and he worked on my back, giving good attention to my sore spots on the shoulder and lower back. Overall a good experience for my money! I will go again when I visit Santa Barbara! read more

Decided to give this place and try and made an appt for a couples massage. It was the worst massage I've ever had. The other massage person kept answering her phone and talking loudly then left and a guy came in. They started late and finished early. The guy that did mine basically massaged me over the towel for at least 20 minutes. I understand it's not a Burke Williams but come on. I will never go back. read more

The best massage I had in a long time. Last one was at the mandarin oriental in Vegas. The masseuse did a scalp massage and it was awesome and not short times. And the foot massage put me to sleep. Definitely the best in California read more

The staff were chatting and gossiping during the massage session. They don't really respect your time and check if you feel ok. Even worse, they might not respect your privacy. The other day I was having a body massage and was lying down half naked. I heard another masseuse crashing in to ask my masseuse some questions. In summary, you get what you pay for. read more

Very clean, very relaxing Cindy did a fantastic hot stone massage with a foot massage! Great quality and price point. Highly recommend .. they took 5 of us at one time and everyone had a fabulous experience!! read more

Went here today for the first time and I will NEVER be back. I've been to cheap massage places so it's not like I had high expectations or anything. Right as I was waiting for my massage this guy came out yelling about the quality of my massage which I should have taken as a sign. Anyways, I just basically paid for someone to rub lotion on my feet. Not a massage at all. The staff was all loud the whole time with talking, running around and even burping loudly. I wanted to leave the whole time, it was miserable. read more

I stopped yesterday because I had a knot in my back that was bothering me. I had been to this location before and had a good experience. I told the lady at the front desk that I wanted a back massage but needed to lay on the bed due to a (un-casted) broken foot. She said okay and took me back. She worked on my back for about 5 minutes and then a male came and took over. His pressure was pretty firm but not too bad. He talked to another male, who was sitting on the bed on my other side, non-stop. He kept stopping to look at his phone and the phone of the other male (I picked my head up and looked because it kept happening). All the sudden, he ran his hand down my calf and grabbed my foot and yanked on my foot/leg hard. I immediately sat up and told him it was broke and he was supposed to be working on my back only. He clearly did not understand me because next thing I know, another man shoved his phone in my face (literally a half an inch from my mouth). I could see he had a translation app open so I again said that I asked for my back only and that the foot he just pulled was broken. He conversed with a couple more workers that had gathered and then said "back". I said yes and laid back down. Next thing I know, a new person began working on my back. He was "massaging" so hard I started to cry and immediately got a headache. I generally ask for hard pressure when getting massages at spas so that should tell you how hard he was working. He was simply pinching my shoulders and not really massaging any muscles. I sat up and said no more. He kept trying to tell me to lay down and finish and I said no. I walked to the front and said I just wanted to pay and leave. He kept trying to have me go back and finish. I finally paid and left. Today, a day later, I have a headache that won't go away, my back hurts more than when I went in, and my shoulders are so sore I can hardly lift my arms. As I said, I had been to this location before and had no problems. This time was a whole different story and I can guarantee I will never go back to this business, at any location. The current staff are not properly trained and it shows. They did not have one staff member in there that could speak or even understand English. I warn all to stay away. If you want a great experience, try Evan's Relaxation Station. I should have sucked it up and driven down there instead of going to this business. read more

So bummed. I just gave them a third chance to redeem themselves. They took five breaks to answer the phone and get other people situated. I literally had three different people massage for my one massage. My mom next to me got a 40 min massage because they left her even more. Both massages were supposed to be an hour. Not so. read more

I have been a client of Little Rainbow since they opened there first one. It is the cleanest well appointed s in Southern California. The owner has given much attention to customer service and very trained Therapists. Last Friday I went to their newest spa in Goleta at 5739 Calle Real. It was nicely decorated and the staff very friendly. My therapist was named Winnie it was one of the best massages I have ever had. Dr.O read more

I've been to a few of the other locations. As this one is new, it is clean and orderly. The aesthetics could use a little warmth however. The spa is equipped with LED lights that give off a harsh, blue tone that is too bright for the space. There is a huge monitor on the wall that enables the staff to see the lobby; not very cozy. I usually opt for the 60 min foot massage and appreciated it well enough. Due to the huge monitor and the staff needing someone to be present in the lobby, my guy left me three times to help someone else. While I understood, it didn't seem right that about 5-10 min of my 60 min massage was allocated to help other customers. Why was I paying my practitioner to attend to other customers? Hopefully they will get this sorted out. This aspect was the one reason I didn't give them 5 stars. read more

Walked by on my way to Trader Joe's, and decided to schedule a 60-minute massage. What a great massage! The lady that worked on me applied lots of pressure with her hands, and walked on my back, plus used hot stones on me, all in all fantastic! read more

Came from the airport after working all week. Walled in with no appointment and was able to get the 60minute foot massage. Now I'm ready for vacation! read more

I decided to get a massage, in the middle of the massage the masseur straddled me on top of the table and tried to pull the towel down a little too low for comfort. I quickly stopped him. I wasn't sure if going on top on the table was normal, I don't get massages very often. It made me feel very very uncomfortable, at the end of the massage I couldn't quite process what happened and I felt shaky and unsettled. I will never come back. read more

Clean and modern facility! Went in with 3 other friends and they accommodated us immediately. Calming music playing in the background and skilled massage staff. Great bang for your buck if you're looking to walk-in! read more

What a waste of time and money! I paid $35 to have lotion put on my body. This was by far the worst "massage" I've ever experienced. I asked the woman giving me a massage to go harder and she literally didn't change. Tv was on. Conversations on the phone were being made while giving a massage. My wife and I visited SB for a honeymoon type getaway, wanted to get a massage and came here. Worst decision ever. I really hope these aren't the type of massages people in Santa Barbara get- because you're getting hustled!! This was a complete joke of a massage. The male who was giving a massage to my wife was smoking a cigarette before the massage. I should've taken that as a sign. Honestly, this was such a waste. I stopped myself from walking out mid massage almost the entire time. I was counting down until this was over. After the massage, I told the male who seemed to be in charge and who also gave my wife the cigarette smelling massage- that that was the worst massage ever and should've been a $5 massage. He didn't say a word and just charged my card. Literally had not a single word to say!!! PLEASE DO NOT GET HUSTLED HERE!!! GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!! read more

I have had probably a dozen massages at one of these facilities in town, and 4 at this particular location - but yesterday was the last time I will go there. I opted to have a full body massage because I was in some pain from a difficult weekend of events. The woman at the counter put me into the 'private' area (a small room where no one can see you, but you can still hear everything). I was aware of the location and noise possibilities prior as I have been there before. What I was NOT okay with was the loud conversations the woman had OVER the wall to her work associates to handle a reservation of 4 people all wanting 2 hour massages which apparently needed some coordinating. MY massage therapist left the room in the middle of MY massage twice to deal with this reservation without saying a word - she just up and left mid-massage. Then if that wasn't bad enough, she took 2 phone calls on her cell WHILE massaging me and was texting after covering my eyes for the last part of my massage. Maybe she didn't realize that just because I could not understand her language, I still heard here. While she did make up for the 10 minutes of lost time - my experience was exactly the opposite of the relaxing, rejuvenating one I went in for. Sorry people - I'm a patient and understanding person, but this time you blew it. read more
