Even though I wasn't ultimately able to get a massage from Fernando, I still felt compelled to leave a review because his customer service was truly outstanding. I was in Honolulu searching Yelp for a last-minute massage and came across Massage by Fernando. His reviews immediately stood out, and he seemed like exactly what I was looking for. I sent out a few inquiries through the app and noticed Fernando had an auto-response suggesting urgent requests call him directly. Since it was around 7am, I didn't want to disturb him. To my surprise, he reached out to me directly anyway, asked about my needs, and genuinely tried to be flexible and fit me into his schedule. Even though it didn't end up working out timing-wise, I really appreciated how responsive, professional, and accommodating he was. That level of care and effort says a lot about how he treats his clients. Much respect to Fernando -- I would absolutely reach out to him again and recommend him based on service alone. read more

Fernando is the best! Ive working with Fernando for almost 20 years ! He is reliable good quality and consistently gives a great massage. I recommend him to everyone who is looking for a great massage therapist for long term. He doesn't disappoint. Great Hands of Honolulu! Thanks Fernando read more

It can be very difficult to find a masseuse that works for you, but I've definitely found an excellent one in Fernando. I've been a client of Fernando's for the past two years, and I cannot be more effusive in my praise for him. I play a lot of tennis and have soreness and tightness on my dominant side, particularly in my right shoulder and upper back area. He's very attuned to the body and very good at recognizing the areas that need extra work. I always feel much looser after a session with him. Fernando is very kind and patient. Just tell him what your needs are and he will take good care of you. On a side note, for any women that are feeling a bit apprehensive about going to a male masseuse, you need not feel nervous. Fernando is very professional and respectful. I highly recommend him. read more

I was recommended to Fernando by a close friend and am so thankful she did! He really does tailor each session to my body's needs and provides the best care possible, every time. I've been through lots of different massage sessions and they're all fine but I really felt his experience and customization of service was so unique. I don't think I've had the same massage twice. Each time it is a little different - a different area of focus or extra minutes in certain areas that need to be worked on. Really appreciate his hard work!! His new location is clean and quiet and easy to find. read more

Fernando is amazing...not only is he a great massage therapist, but a great person. I've had massage and hydrafacial done by Fernando and it was such a wonderful experience! My skin tends to be on the drier side and the hydrafacial was exactly what I needed! I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a neck/shoulder/arm massage. I desperately needed all those areas tended to since I had been getting tension headaches for the last week. Thank you Fernando! You're the best and I appreciate you so much! read more

Fernando is a great masseuse!! This was my first massage, and he made me feel so comfortable. Wow!! He got knots out of my back that have been there for years! Somehow, Fernando did it in a way that wasn't painful. Fernando was able to understand previous injuries and worked around them. I left his studio feeling so free and comfortable! My body has never felt this nice. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Massage By Fernando - The view from the driveway - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm afraid words can't do Fernando justice. If I had to sum it up, I'd say it's MAGIC. From the nicest guy EVER. Before my first massage with Fernando, I always thought massages just felt nice while you were getting them, but I never thought of them as being good for your body or having any lasting effects. My husband and I would only get massages for special occasions or while on vacation. We always talked about this one great massage experience we had while on vacation at this Chinese medicine center and wished we could recreate that. I'm here to tell you, Fernando's massages blew any previous experience out of the water. After our first massage with him, I actually felt like I had done a work out. My muscles had that good kind of sore. We ended up getting a subsequent massage a few weeks later, and with the two treatments in a row, I felt like a different person! Like I had melted years of tension out of my body. My husband experienced even more drastic results. He's got a lot of low back issues and tightness. I've tried to massage him before and it's impossible. It's like trying to massage a rock. After two sessions with Fernando, my husband's back actually feels like it belongs to a human again. Not only does he work this magic, he's just the kindest person. As a female, I'm not always comfortable with a male masseuse but Fernando is super professional and such a nice and caring person that I never thought twice about it. In short, if you're lucky enough to get an appointment with him, DO IT!! You won't regret it and you'll probably end up a regular. read more

Mobile massage therapist! I beat myself up regularly at the gym or at yoga. Sometimes I push myself a little too hard and end up injuring various parts of my body. This weekend it was my back. I couldn't even sit in a chair without my back screaming at me. I tried stretching. I tried anti-inflammatory pills. It hurt to sit. It hurt to stand. The pain would not go away and neither would my kids so I searched yelp for "mobile massage therapist" to see if someone could come to my house to work on my back. It was a holiday and I didn't think I would be able to find anyone on such short notice. Fernando responded quickly and said he would fit me in at the end of his day. Yesss. Already off to a great start. At first we agreed that he would come to my house but in the end I drove up to his place because I didn't want to wait any longer than I had to. LOCATION: He works out of a room on the side of the house in a residential neighborhood. Parking is on the street at the end of a cul-de-sac. If you want Aulani spa treatment go to Aulani. This is for when you're in so much pain you don't need the fluff. HOUSE CALLS: he has his own mobile massage table so he will come to you for a nominal fee which is nice if you have kids at home that aren't quite old enough to leave alone yet. UNDER PRESSURE: Oh he can give it. He is not gentle. None of that Sweedish massage garbage. Come here because you want a deep tissue massage. Come here when you really need to heal. Come here because you want someone to really get into each muscle group and tear apart the knots. Come here because you want to say "owwwwwww" when he finds all the tense spots in your back and neck. PRICE: way better than those overpriced spas and hotels. See attached picture. $70 for 90min! $90 for 2hrs! It would be unfair for me to expect him to cure my back in one visit. It's hard to undo in one hour what took months of self abuse to accomplish. However, he did a pretty freaking fantastic job and I can't wait to go back. Some women get their hair, nails, or eyelash extensions regularly. Not me. I rather have a bombtastic massage and I think I've found it. Next time I'm doing the 2 hr massage. read more

Massage By Fernando - FEB 2015 - Massage Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is easily a 10/10. Fernando is the go to guy on Oahu! It felt peaceful and simply the best experience yet. Will be going back!

Fernando is super flexible and extremely professional! Please do not be deterred by going to what I believe is his beautiful private residence. When I walked in I couldn't help but notice the view I probably could've sat there all day looking at the view. Any who , my appointment was scheduled for 3 PM however Fernando was able to take me a tad earlier, as soon as I got there he turned on the air-conditioning and went right to work. I had a deep tissue massage that I was in desperate need of Fernando was wonderful he made sure I was comfortable he also did a very thorough job. I felt myself drifting away ( falling asleep during the massage) He did a great job and I will definitely be a local returning customer. read more

Great deep tissue massage. Lots of constant kneading covered problem areas. Very professional high quality massage. I have no hesitation recommending Fernando. . read more

I enjoyed my massage and getting to know Fernando. He is professional and very nice. His rates are very reasonable for massage. He has 10 plus years of experience with massage. He is very busy so you should book with him a day or more in advance. He will book you if he has no other appointments but he is normally busy. I will have Fernando as one of my therapist to call on when I need a good long massage. Thank you Fernando. read more

Fernando is very professional so don't hesitate to schedule a massage at his private residence. He has a separate room which at first is a little unusual with his collection of masks from around the world... But hey once your eyes are closed and he starts his massage, who cares :) He is that great masseur who has a full body routine, but DOES deviate from his routine to focus more on tight problem areas. There's nothing worse than a masseuse/er on autopilot who does the exact same procedure to every client, no matter that they have tight shoulders or tight calves. I usually book the 90 minute massage and it's a wonder how much better I feel afterwards!! I've tried more than 100 different masseuse/er in Hawaii and Asia. He is one of the best!! read more

This review is long overdue! Fernando is ahhhmazing! We hired Fernando for 2 of our events. One was for my husbands birthday and the other for our daughters graduation. First event our guests couldn't stop raving about him so we had to hire him again for our daughters party. Hands down he is the best at what he does! You can tell when he's massaging he knows exactly what he's doing! He's very knowledgeable, knows every part of the body, knows the pressure to use, the pressure points to target! For those that did not get a chance to get a massage and is giving a low star... that's not quite fair! He is one of the kindest human being ever! How can you give such a review if you didn't even get serviced/massage?! Shame on you! It goes to show how high in demand he is because he is the best! Only if there were more of him to please everyone! Fernando, praying more blessings upon you and your business! Sorry we were so busy we didn't get to Thank you for all your hard work at the end of our daughters party. Thank you again:) read more

The most amazing, healing massage I've had in Hawaii. Fernando is the only one who has been able to alleviate my back pain with long-lasting results. The atmosphere is pristine, calm, and serene. The rates are very reasonable for Hawaii, and Fernando never rushes to end the session. 10/10 recommend! read more

I've been going to Fernando since 2012 when I assembled furniture & was in excruciating pain. Since then I continue to see him regularly for massage. He has a dark, quiet room scented with essential oils & fresh plumeria. It is an oasis. His massages are so relaxing & he always find the tight & sore areas without having to tell him. Sometimes I fall asleep which is nice but honestly I don't want to miss a moment of his incredible massage. He's just so skilled & in tune as a massage therapist. He's professional & accommodating. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. read more

This person is amazing! He is a hidden jewel! Only his regulars like me will never go to anyone else! I have had 50 other massages from other therapists and no one compares to Fernando! I need a massage from him at least twice a week! I have been a faithful client of his since my friends hired him 9 years ago for my birthday gift. I must say he has healing hands and has massaged me through my pregnancy with baby number 1 and baby number 2! I will continue to have massages by Fernando for the rest of my life if possible. Twice or three times a week! read more

Fernando gives an incredible massage! I will be going to see him again for sure. The combination of techniques is masterfully executed to provide maximum benefit. The atmosphere was conducive to relaxing while he did his magic. I have been going for massages for over 30 years and would rank him as one of the top massage therapists I have been to. Mahalo Fernando. read more

This was he best massage I've ever had! We highly recommend Fernando and can not wait until next time. Amazing!!!!!!!!! read more

Fernando is such a healer!!! He has helped me twice for an out all massage after doing CrossFit. Incredible experience for sure and so worth it! read more

I'm the kind of person addicted to massage, and I truly believe that Fernando gave me the best one ever. At 8:30pm I was looking for a place near home that would take me that late. Fortunately he books clients up to 10pm. Usually I don't feel comfortable receiving massage from male therapists, It wasn't the case he was extremely professional. His working place is super neat and relaxing. I'll be back for sure, many times! Fernando is an excellent professional, totally recommend him! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for Fernando for a very long time now because his massages have significantly improved my health and well being!!! Fernando was referred to me by a very dear friend who knew that not many massage therapists could deliver the type of deep tissue pressure that I wanted. From reading other's reviews, I realize one of the best things about Fernando is that he tailors the massage to your preference. For the longest time, I would call Fernando when I was in pain from knots under my shoulder blades and neck tension. Now I am smart enough to schedule a monthly massage with him. Fernando is extremely accomodating. He will drive to your place of residence, but I actually prefer to go to his massage studio. You are greeted by a gorgeous view when you enter and can enjoy the calm ambiance he has created (soothing music, zen fountain, aromatherapy, and soothingly cool AC gently blowing). Additionally, Fernando's prices are reasonable and he is very flexible in scheduling which is especially important when living life in fast forward. Beyond a doubt, Fernando is one of the most skilled massage therapists I know. It is evident he takes pride in his work and is a true professional who cares about improving all his clients' health. He takes the time to get to know you, and you never feel like you are someone being shuffled in and out of a business where you may just be a number. I was lucky that Fernando was referred to me by a dear friend. Now, I am recommending him to you and hope that you appreciate him as much as I do! read more

I've gone to him in the past and he is the best I've had, possibly ever. He makes me feel comfortable and he's the only guy I've ever gone to, I usually prefer a girl. I found out about him through an old roommate. He likes to give a longer massage because he says its most beneficial for the body and I agree. I went to him once to rescue my arm that I had injured at work. I couldn't sleep for 3 days from the pain, I set up an appointment, and he cured me. Hes THAT good. Drink lots of water after the massage. He works out of his house, theres this separate room in the front of the house. Its very professional. read more

Best massage I've ever had in my life. Fernando rolled out all the knots and is a genuinely nice guy. He was able to squeeze me in his schedule in such short notice. Will be back :) read more

Few days late on writing my review... I've had a massage with Fernando before. I text Fernando and scheduled a two hour massage with him while I was in Oahu. Great deep tissue massage! I felt so much better after. Just couldn't wait to come back for more... read more

I had my first Massage today by Fernando. It was super. He gave me the perfect pressure. The studio is very relaxing with the music to match. I made my next appointment for next week I'm looking forward to the next massage. read more

I found Fernando on Groupon after just moving to Honolulu. He was fantastic, and I'm picky! I can't wait to go back, and I'll make sure to send more people his way. read more

Bought a Groupon after reading great reviews, also a client stated the positive of open flexible availability. That's not the case! If you are visiting the island I suggest you seek a massage else where. Takes minimal of 2 weeks in order to get an appointment which is not suitable for visitors or people with busy non consistent schedules. Unfortunately I'm going to have to return my groupon if allowed to and seek a massage somewhere with a more open availability. I do not know the quality of work and am not basing my review of of performance. read more

Got to use a groupon coupon. Best massage i have received from all others i have been to. He truly cares about if anything is ailing you and works on it. Mahalo for my 1st time, will not certainly be my last! read more

The most relaxing massage ever. I highly recommend Fernando. I love him and all My friends use him when they are in town!!! read more

Amazing experience with Fernando. His studio has a lovely view of the ocean and the sliding door open allows for a nice breeze off the pool. I will definitely be working with him again! He released the tension in my neck and shoulders and massaged out my knots. Thank you Fernando :) read more

I think I just had the best massage of my life. Before the massage I was in so much pain, it hurt to move. Fernando was so polite and caring. After the massage I felt like a new person. My neck and back felt so much better!! Thank you, Fernando!!! read more

This will be my first yelp review and I feel that there is no person more deserving than Fernando! I've suffered from chronic back pain for as long as I can remember and have been getting massages pretty regularly for about 10 years now. My criteria for finding a place to go has always been price (I am always looking for a good deal) and I figured, all massages feel great, so why spend more than I need to? Whether it's good karma or fate or just pure chance, I found Massage by Fernando through a yelp deal and I will no longer go get my massages anywhere else! Seriously. His massage was so therapeutic and relaxing, that I was feeling guilty half way through because I felt bad that he was working so hard! I got the two hour massage and it totally changed my perspective on massages. All massages are not the same. He has perfected this art. My only disclaimer is that if you have never gotten a massage before- let him know how comfortable you are. I know my mom would be too shy to have anyone touch her besides her back and feet so she wouldn't have enjoyed the full body massage that I had gotten. He also massages out of a comfy and quaint side room in his house so that might make some people uncomfortable as well. But he is completely professional and if you are a little unsure at first, then have him come to you for your first massage because he is willing to travel! His house is at the top of a windy drive and you will end up at a cul-de-sac where you just park next to the curb. I have found that previously, I would enjoy the massage, but always felt like I needed longer or more pressure to really get out all the knots and kinks. Fernando's massage was the first time that I felt like he had gotten to everything. I am so grateful! And the cherry on top?!?- His prices!!! How can someone with this much talent charge the standard amount, and actually less than most other places? He's one of the only people that gives you a really good deal for the longer you get a massage! I wanted to take the time to write a good review because I feel he is more than deserving. I just hope I don't regret it later if he becomes too popular and gets harder to book an appointment with :) read more

Fernando is the best massage therapist I've ever experienced! He is simply truly amazing. I moved from Honolulu about 6 years ago to San Diego, and still to this day I have not been able to find someone anywhere near as good as he is. Whenever I travel back to Honolulu either for work or a visit, I ALWAYS make sure to see Fernando for a massage. Seriously, my trip back home is never complete without a massage from him! I tend to hold a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, and upper back. I work a lot on a computer, sleep on my side, carry around a heavy purse, and don't stretch as much as I should. All these factors result in a lot of very tight upper back, shoulder, and neck muscles. I'm not sure exactly what style of massage Fernando employs, but it feels like a combination of swedish, shiatsu, thai, lomi lomi, and deep tissue. I just tell him where it hurts, and he gets to work! Whatever it is that he does, it works, and he somehow always uses just the right amount of pressure. And it feels SO. GOOD. His prices are affordable,and he is very professional and friendly. And bonus! He always has the best music playing in the background! Really! I'm not able to completely enjoy a massage if crappy music is playing, so the fact that he plays cool chill, down-tempo,new agey (think Enigma) music with soothing aromatherapy during his 90+ min massages, is really just the cherry on top of a purely tranquil and revitalizing experience. I definitely recommend Fernando to anyone looking for a superior massage. It's worth the trip back to Hawaii!! read more

First time getting a massage from Fernando thoroughly enjoyed it. He did strong pressure which I had requested and he was able to get out kinks in my neck and upper back. I was also grateful that he could accommodate me on short notice. Will definitely be booking another massage soon with him. Highly recommend! read more

Fernando is a first rate massage therapist and definitely the best that we've encountered here in Hawaii. As new residents of Oahu, we are so thrilled to have someone so skilled to turn to for our routine massage maintenance. Thanks Fernando! We will be back...again, and again! read more

I was a little worried about going to a male massage therapists' private residence for a massage, but Fernando was AWESOME. He listened to where I want him to focus on. I always have lots of knots and massage therapists always like to use a lot of pressure and it leaves me feeling bruised. Not Fernando. He got my knots out without the bruised feeling. He's wonderful and his prices are great. read more

Best massage I've ever had!! After trying a few other more expensive massage parlours on the island, I discovered Fernando who conveniently lives 2 minutes away. I was a bit hesitant to go to a private residence for a massage by a male, but after reading a few other positive Yelp reviews, I decided to check him out. For anyone else feeling a bit hesitant, let me assure you, Fernando is super professional and instantly makes you feel comfortable. He's also always very accommodating - even when I ask for a last minute appointment. As for the massage, it's ahhh-ma-zing! I am usually the type who has a hard time relaxing and always has a million and one things on my mind, but somehow, within 5 minutes, I'm always so relaxed and often find myself drifting in and out of sleep. It's clear that Fernando is passionate about what he does and works hard to make sure clients leave satisfied. I highly recommend checking him out if you are looking for an amazing, affordable massage in a beautiful, relaxing venue. read more

Fernando is an outstanding and affordable massage therapist! He is a professional, punctual, reliable, and hard working person who knows what he is doing. I have been seeing Fernando for massages for over 5 years and never had a negative experience, always positive and satisfactory feeling after his massage. Fernando performs full body massage but will always customize according to body parts that need extra attention. read more

Fernando is great!!! His massages are deep and relaxing, and he uses a variety of techniques such as deep-tissue, lomi-lomi, Swedish, and even foot massages (reflexology) to my liking. He's very understanding to those who have few financial means, and has also helped out friends I've referred to him. ;) He's also not one of those "clock-watchers" and will in general give you more time than you're scheduled for. I've been going to him regularly for several years, and I highly recommend him. read more
