Walk in availability was excellent, especially from a short break from being at the courthouse. It was much needed.! Pressure was spot on, highly recommend read more

From the moment I entered, I felt welcomed with a friendly energy. Ky was knowledgeable, kind, and gave me great recommendations that I trust are right for me. She was considerate of my budget and made me feel very comfortable and welcome, as did the women at the front desk. I'm excited to have found such a great place to stick with as I start this beauty journey. read more

Wait because Linda is so goooood! I don't know if they trained a different technique but I remember I had the best massage ever at an airport for over 200$ and she did exactly that but probably better! Holy crap it was so good. High end massage. read more

Max Relax - Massage Near Me - Ventura, California

Great service and the best foot massage in Ventura County highly recommended !!! 10/10

We love this place! Been going pretty consistently for about 10 years. We love the convenience and the price. Lovely people who work there. Just remember they are charging a lot less than you pay elsewhere. So tip accordingly. read more

Prompt professional service, good prices, but wasn't blown away by my foot massage. Wanted/needed something more intense & therapeutic but basically got a nice foot rub. Couldn't communicate with the woman giving the massage because she didn't speak English. read more

I literally love this place so much. Been coming here about every month for a year and it's always nice. Very cheap and you get what you pay for. This is not a "fancy" or "upscale" massage by any means but still great for the price. It's gotten a nice makeover lately with more workers so their availability is better. I recommend calling ahead, not having too high expectations, and knowing what you want without many accommodations-they don't really speak English. read more

I got a massage here with my mom. I called today and yesterday to confirm the prices. I was quoted $50 for a full body Swedish massage and $55 for a full body deep tissue massage, which seemed like a good price in the Ventura county. Unfortunately, it was the worst massage I've ever gotten in my life. My neck was even more sore afterwards than it was when I initially came in. My mom seemed to enjoy hers and got the light pressure Swedish massage. There was a huge language barrier. I asked the lady three times if she can focus on my neck, but she failed to do so. She actually did not get ANY of the knots out. I asked her a couple of times if she can apply more pressure. It literally felt like I was just being gently rubbed down then rubbed down with oil. She also used hot stones, just threw them on me and one of them hit my back on my head since I was lying in a prone (face down) position. The two masseuses were also talking/laughing the entire time to one another since we were in a shared room. My mom's masseuse's cellphone rang on full blast three times so it was hard to relax. I was literally waiting for the massage to end because it was so unpleasant. When I checked the time, the massage was only 50 minutes from the time they started versus the 60 minutes I paid for. When it was time to pay, they quoted a different price. Instead of the $50 Swedish massage, they keep insisting it was $55 and kept pointing on the sign. I told them I spoke to a man on the phone twice and clarified with him three times the prices I was initially quoted: $55 for full body deep tissue and $50 full body Swedish massage. The man was massaging a lady in a chair and paused her massage and insisted he told me the correct prices. I was arguing with him and I realized I was getting nowhere. I didn't want to ruin that lady massage since he had stopped massaging her. The lady took my $120 and said, "Okay $55 for each massage and $10 tip for her. Thank you." She had the audacity to decide what tip to give my masseuse and decided to not give me back any change. ( I had previously given my mom $10 to tip her masseuse.) At this point, I was so livid. I knew I was getting nowhere and just left with my mom. I actually realized I asked the two ladies about the $50 Swedish massage and the $55 deep tissue massage, which they both said yes that's correct when we got there. However, due to the language barrier, they probably had no idea I was saying. Basically, I spent $130 for a sketchy experience. The actual massage area is sort of dirty and the towels looked old and discolored. I'm definitely not coming back. If you ever go here, I strongly advise you to clarify the prices once you get there. Get it in writing if you have to. read more

So far I've been here twice and each time has been good. Don't let the curb appeal fool you. If you want a relaxing massage for a reasonable price, this is the place. read more

Amazing! Best foot massage in Ventura County. Very clean and tranquil atmosphere ask for Chen.

I love this place! I go all the time. I usually ask for Jason because he seems to really understand the level of pressure I need. Even though his english is limited I find if I tell him the area of more or less pressure he really understands. I have not been to some of the newer employees there so i cannot speak to their work, but Jason is really good! read more

Took my boyfriend for a couple massage & we can't wait to come back! Very clean and professional, would recommend if this is your first time getting a massage. Don't forget cash for tip! We both got a 60 min massage with oils + hot rocks for $50 each read more

They do a great 90 min hot rock full body reflexology massage here. Rooms are clean and while communicating can be a challenge, I have never left there disappointed. XXXXX read more

I popped into this place tonight, because I have been an extreme pain in my lower back, hips, and left leg. Pretty sure it's sciatica, and a bunch of other things going on. I have never had a massage like this before. The woman, Lena, knew exactly what to do to relieve the sciatic pain. It was so amazing, I uncontrollably cried halfway through my massage and not because of pain. I am home now and this is the first time I've been pain-free in weeks. I'm going back every day for the next week! read more

Wow!! This place is a freggin' gold mine! Or at least my massage with Jason was.... Don't be fooled by the esthetics of this place or some language barriers with the staff, because you might miss out on the best massage ever. I have got massages in the sexiest and sketchiest places from all over, both in the US and different countries and this was probably the best massage ever for me. Had to start seeing a massage therapist for back pain and sciatica and found this place. Full body deep tissue and hot stone for one whole hour was around $50?? BANG FOR YOUR BUCK GUYS! Great price, little communication struggle but dont get discouraged. I got the exact massage I needed for an exceptional price... read more

I've been going here for years. It's a great place for a chair massage and foot massage. The all over body massage is okay. They have always been professional and I feel comfortable always read more

Out of all the massage places I've been to in the V.C., this one is fine enough. It doesn't really stand out to me as remarkable compared to the others in either a good or bad way. I will be back I'm sure. I only get a foot massage at these places, and have yet to really figure out which place has the best deal. I had called beforehand to make sure someone was available, because it does annoy me quite a bit to walk in and not be able to get a massage when I want/need one. A therapist was available and started my massage right away. One negative was that the water was just too hot for my comfort. I know I have sensitive skin though, so for anyone else this may not have been a problem. She was really nice and ran to get a few ice cubes right away to put in the water. This therapist did a great job, I won't lie. I can't recall her name right now but I may have put it as a "tip" on the page. One other "negative" was that I did hear a customer say "Ow!" quite loudly across the room. She was getting a full body (?) massage and I was a bit sketched out by that. That is exactly why I only get foot massages. Other than that, I will be back here in the near future. Thanks for the great foot massage. read more

My family and I love coming to this place because it's so close to where we live and the prices are really good! If you normally go to fancy spas this would be out of your comfort zone. It's a converted house and the staff seems to be really friendly. They don't speak English however they do try and do their best to make their customers feel relaxed. read more

Worth every cent. Make sure you add the 30 minute foot massage to every massage you enjoy.

I go to Max Relax about 2-3 times per week! I love the convenient location. The environment is clean and the employees are always polite and accommodating. I walk in stressed-I walk out relaxed! Nancy read more

This is a hidden gem! A no frills former house converted to a body massage and foot reflexology business. On a busy street. But I am in heaven!!! I'm a runner with a history of minor foot injuries and some of my foot muscles have been hurting for the last few days. On a whim I decided to check this place out, no reservation. The sign in sheet asked for the treatment you wanted, the speed,& intensity. I waited no more than 10 minutes before I was escorted to a foot massage chair. First they soaked my feet in very warm water. Then my legs, feet, & toes were saturated in massage oil and the next 30-40 minutes were kneaded, pressed, and lightly slapped to submission. The icing on the cake was the application of hot stones to my foot and calf muscles. Ahhhh!! How did I not know this kind of thing existed before? The prices were insanely low: a mere $26, plus a 20%+ tip. This is the kind of indulgence I can totally justify a couple three times per month. I only wished I lived closer to partake here again - I'm a weekend tourist. If a fancy spa is your thing, run away as this is not your thing. If you want someplace to trust your toes and atmosphere isn't an issue, this is the place for you! read more

Worst massage ever!! The girl doing my massage started to rub my spine with her elbow, leaving me in so much pain afterwards. I had to stop her during the massage and leave. Would not recommend and I am definitely never going back. read more

Best 1 hour foot massage. They are close to the road so it is a little noisy. I will be making this a regular gift to myself.

There is a language barrier but they understand the basics. They seemed a little unorganized at first but once the massage started they knew what they were doing. I got a full body 60 minute massage, hit all the right spots. The prices were affordable. I would definitely go back. read more

I went there Last evening. Jessica was great. Very professional and friendly. After the massage headache was gone and my body felt much lighter and better. Thank you Jessica. read more

Wonderful massage for the price paid. If you have tight muscles the therapists will work them out. They work hard! Long time staff of 3. If I could make a suggestion I think an upgraded spa like music sound would go along way to improve the experience. They always have the same stodgy music. Nevertheless the service is great and they have helped heal my body, so I keep going back. read more

Wow! Amazing foot massage & back! I am so happy with how quick & efficient they are...

This place is very relaxing. You cannot go wrong with price, availability, and skill. I don't have a consistent schedule and can stop by anytime. My friend and I go once a week and get 30 min foot massage and 30 minute back massage (combo) for $35! $40/45 with tip. I take my song here too sometimes and we both get 1 hour foot massages. Try it! read more

Came in on a referral.. So glad I did! Got a hot rock body massage and the talented guy got every knot in my shoulders out then rubbed away all my cares! I will be returning! Note/tip: they are moving down Victoria towards the school read more

My body was just wracked from stress as I am recently out on a work comp case for stress and the worry and all other emotions have basically killed my body. I waited too long for massage and everyone's appointment book was full. So I Googled massages in Ventura and found this one. Every rating was 5 stars so I figured I'd give it a shot. Called them just before they opened and got to go straight over. At first I thought, this is kinda weird, all the tables are in open rooms--no doors--and then even weirder I didn't have to disrobe!! Never had that happen with a massage in all the years I've gotten them so my initial reaction was that I wasn't going to be happy--but then I decided to be open to it...and lo and behold! I requested a 6 out of 7 for the deep tissue knowing it was going to hurt but was necessary. I walked out of this place feeling like a million bucks! Every part of my body has hurt for two weeks and in one hour I have ZIP pain!! Only a couple of tender spots from the pressure but all my original tension flew out the window!! I can see why they have so many 5 star ratings! They've only been open 7 months but I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for a good massage if you don't mind that your actual skin isn't being massaged. I'll just have to get my boy toy to do that for me! LOL $35 bucks for an hour! I'll be back for sure, thank you Max Relax! The dude kicked a**! :) read more

I visited this place for the first time with my husband go treat him to some relaxing time. The young man who was at the register had a rushed vibe about him from the get-go! During the 30 minute body massage this same young Asian guy was sucking on his teeth, scratching his face, and sighing over my body! It was disgusting! Then when he was massaging my feet he literally yanked the towel from under my feet and continued to suck on his teeth or clean them with his tongue. This was a disgusting experience and the owners need to get that boy a job there where he doesn't interact with people! Or change his disgusting habits! Will NEVER go back again! Waste of my $70 dollars! read more

Max Relax off Telephone is great. Today which is the day after my 30 min chair massage my shoulders and neck are sore, but the good kinda sore where they actually did something to get the knots out. Overall, I had a knot in my neck and shoulder and they ground it out. Its better than other places where they just go through the motions and when you leave its like nothing was done. I asked for level 6-7 for intensity and i got it! 30 mins for 21$ and I tipped 6$ for a 27$ total. Is there a tipping standard? Wherever i get a massage they always look disappointed like i should tip them 100$ or something. I tipped 10$ last time and they were still kinda meh about that. I don't know but when people get pushy about a tip i don't want to tip at all. read more

Worst massage experience I've ever had in my life. The people in there may not have their licenses. The man that massaged me hurt me more than anything. I actually had to have him stop my massage because he was elbowing my spine with all of his body weight over and over and over. It hurt me pretty badly where I could barely walk after. I get massages at least once a month and I know a good massage from a bad one. I wouldn't even call this a massage. More like an elbow session. They did not use their hands or fingers once. It was painful and very unprofessional. I waited for 20 minutes for my massage. Anytime someone would walk in or the phone would ring, they would stop massage of you to go help the new person- while your clock is still ticking. I was upset when my massage guy was gone for about 2-3 minutes on the phone. The don't understand English and they also don't ask where you are hurting. During the massage they also don't check with you on pressure or comfort. I actually asked him to stop 2x and he just said ok and kept going. I finally had to move off the bed so he understood what I said. Pay $10 more and go to a professional place that is licensed, knows what they are doing and will understand you. This place is nice to look at but you may end up with a hurt back. Long story short- I left with a hurt back and bruises on my neck. I'm still in pain. I went to a chiropractor to be fixed. The massage place didn't charge me, but I won't be back. read more

I've been visiting Max Relax in Ventura every three weeks for a few years now, since I tried other places in town and didn't like those. Chen gives the best reflexology foot massage ever! I understand he is the owner and has expanded to Camarillo and Port Hueneme. He is most often running the Camarillo shop now, so now I must make appointments with him to meet me in the Ventura location before he goes to Camarillo. Mornings just after the shop opens. Once, I even drove to Camarillo for an appointment. I have Plantar Fasciitis and Chen's foot massages are SERIOUSLY the best therapy for my foot. He knows exactly where to press hard and lets up when he sees my expression if it's a little too rough. It is more like a "deep tissue massage" for my feet. Since going to him, my foot is so much better, hardly noticeable. Chen's primary language is Chinese, yet he understands and speaks English fairly well, unlike others in his shop. Though all employees are very friendly, helpful and they accept walk-ins, most of them don't communicate in English very well. If you really want a great massage with someone you can communicate with in English, ask for Chen and make a morning appointment. I pay $35 for one hour foot massage! Plus a $10 tip. The best $45 I could spend on myself. read more

Probaly one of the best Chinese spa style massages I've gotten in Ventura or Ventura County period. A lot of other massage spas don't use the technique that I like but this one reminds me of a really expensive massage I got. read more

I was referred to this place and man am I regretting it. Be carful what you ask for. I told the woman that doesn't speak much English that she could apply more pressure and she did and I have been icing my back for three days now. I was in so much pain after leaving there, my whole back down my spine is bruised. I have never had a full body massage with all my clothes on it's impossible. I spent the whole hour on my stomach and she went to town on my back nothing else just my back. Worst ever. read more

Was helped right away with no wait. I got a full body massage for 40 mins for $26, $33 after tip. They let you circle an intensity level and speed. I chose 5 at slow and received as such. He checked in often to see if pressure was okay. Got into knots in my hips and shoulders with accuracy and purpose. Was given a frequent buyer card for buy 10 get one free, also a water bottle at the end of my service. Will defiantly be returning. read more

My husband and I have tried several "foot spa" type massage places, and this place is our favorite. The location is pretty convenient, except for the parking is limited. Of the 5 times that we have been here, we've never had to wait long and they do honor appointment requests. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable. The only thing that could potentially be a problem is the language barrier. The employees we've encountered speak very little English (if any), but they understand "softer", which is all I care about lol. When you go to this type of place, do not be ashamed or afraid to ask for softer or harder pressure. Employees here seem to be receptive and respectful of such requests. There is one guy that Giggles too much but that isn't a reason to stop going here. Try them out! read more

Chinese reflexology, massage, and accupressure, $35 for an hour! Very clean environment, and the therapist was really great! read more

Max relax honestly never disappoints. I have had several massages there (about 3 to 4 times a month) and all the therapist are great. I love getting hot oil with hot stones, it's a must try. With the prices they maintain, it keeps me going in more often. read more
