Visited the new location, as I had been to the old one a couple of times. They really got everything running and put together in time considering how recently they changed locations. The massage was great, lights were dim, and overall very calming environment. Felt great right after, they really helped with the knots in the upper shoulder, if you want more intense pressure, make sure to let them know. Will definitely be coming again for more especially with their discount. The sauna treatment was also nice, same one as the old location. However I believe they are still doing some construction, therefore the room can be put together and cleaned a little bit more. But it does not affect the sauna experience itself. The only thing was the bathroom/shower room isn't as nice as the original location. I understand that they are just settling in and the facility is different. I hope they get the opportunity to remodel it nicely similar to the style and size of the original location. It has the potential to be cleaned up nicer, with more amenities like large towels and a hair dryer. Definitely check out the new location, we were happy to support and hope to see the final results of the place once they completely settle in. Didn't mention this in my other review, but the prices were great. It would be cool if they offered some sort of membership or discount for frequent customers. read more

It was my first visit recently. I came in for a 60 min. Deep Tissue Massage. Without any explanation or questions, my masseuse went right into it which I was fine with since I had been in need for a major back massage, just thought she'd ask me any pain or sensitivity areas, but none. The Deep Tissue massage was affected for me- I had been dealing with chronic back pain for sometime and felt immediate results. My favorite part were the hot stones (which I forgot about), so it was quite a nice surprised when she placed them in my body. My overall experience was pleasant. Ty staff. I'll be back. read more

My husband and I stopped in for some relaxation while our vehicle was being serviced. We are so glad we stopped in! Both therapist used appropriate pressure, didn't rush the massage, and were kind and friendly. We will plan to go again when we are in the area. read more

After dropping off my car next to this shopping center, came across this massage place and decided to give a shot. I didn't have to wait. I had Deep Tissue for 60 mins/ $65 dollars. They will ask u to choose the level of pressure. Deep tissue is from 5 to 7 (the max). My masseuse is Lisa who speaks Chinese but not much of English. ( if you don't speak Chinese, they do have a small sheet to help you communicate) I speak Chinese so had no issue. She has great skills with very firm pressure as I wanted. When she started, she did confirm with me if the pressure was okay. The whole environment is relaxing and I'm happy with her technique. Firm but not rough. She said she learned it from Chinese med professionals back in China! I would recommend her. The only little complain I had was they have surcharge $2 if you use the credit card. I wasn't informed by the front desk when I walked in and asked if I could use the credit card since many massage places prefer cash over credit card. Would be nice to be informed the surcharge ahead of time when I asked before hand. read more

Booked a last minute appt and my massage lady did an amazing job! I workout a lot & constantly have lots of knots & she helped me relax my back muscles dramatically! 10/10 recommendations read more

Very clean! Relaxing! Very professional massage. Try a salt scrub it's worth it. The whole place was spotless...4.5 out of a 5 star

it was my very first time going into a spa and i saw that they had very good reviews so i went and when they finished my service they were asking for tips when they didn't even let me think how much i was gonna give them but i think the giving a tip is optional because it's not a restaurant for them to ask me immediately for a tip. it was my first and last time going there. read more

I was able to book for same day a few hours out online. They took me at the last slot available at 8 pm. I'm so grateful. I requested deep tissue and Cindy did an amazing job on me. I didn't have a lot of crackles (thankfully) but definitely had tight upper and lower trapezoid muscles and she immediately started with the rhombus after doing a sheet assessment on my back. She also went after my triceps and brachial muscles, which was soooo nice. Also did a great job with my calf muscles. It was very quiet and clean and I loved the ambiance of the space. I'm glad this place is within walking distance. Moving and living in Lake Forest has been really nice. read more

Excellent deep tissue massages here and their availability is outstanding. Perfect place if you're craving a massage without reservations. I love the 90 minutes deep tissue with hot stone massage. The massage starts with a lady walking on my back. Then she oils me up and uses her elbow and forearms to get deep into the muscles. I had some huge knots in my upper back and she was able to work them out. Fair pricing for the quality of the massage and overall experience. I highly recommend this place. read more

I have been coming here for past 8 months and I love this place because they offer the best massage, they listen to your needs and prices are reasonable! The vibe is so relaxing and peaceful! read more

I like the place. Love the staff, it's nice & quiet, love the service, and also the price.

My husband got me a gift certificate to try this very clean and pretty spa! I love Thai massage, so I was super excited for my 90 minute session. Scheduling my appointment was super simple (they were even willing to take me back right then and there if I had the time!) and when I did arrive for my appointment, I was taken back to a room right away. The facility itself is pretty spotless and smells great. My masseuse was a woman of very few words, but I really like to just zone out and enjoy the massage, so I didn't mind that at all. The massage itself was deep and thorough, exactly what I was hoping for. At certain points I could hear other staff talking loudly and laughing outside the door, but it's fine -- I have a toddler so I don't need dead quiet to relax. Overall, I would very happily be back for more, and to try some of their other services too, like a facial or a scrub! Prices are so reasonable, it seems like an achievable monthly luxury. read more

Came here 3 times and I requested Cici as my masseuse. She is amazing and she puts in her best effort. During my session, she would use her body weight for harder compression. I also like that she massages my chest to alleviate pressure. I highly recommend her to anyone who enjoys a relaxing massage session. read more

Love this place! I have come a handful of times and it's been awesome. Usually can book same day and they take you in right away. Did the Swedish massage with hot stones with Lisa and she was amazing. Price is great too. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent 90-minute massage! My therapist was thorough and responsive to feedback about the level of pressure. I wasn't sure what the experience would be with a price so low in comparison to other places, but I'm 100% satisfied. I've found a new regular spot! read more

First of all they actually had availability!! Secondly they were super friendly and not rude or anything. They had super clean peaceful sanitary yet private areas for a far reasonable price. My masseuse Charlie was amazing I asked for medium pressure and it was delivered , continuously checked on me and made sure everything was ok. I will be coming back ! I feel amazing!! I got the full body aromatherapy (as I gym quite frequently) worth it!!! read more

See all

Just moved within the area, and wanted to treat one of my friends that had helped with this long and tiresome move. So we looked up some places in the area and found MaxRelax Spa. So ecstatic that I did because my friend and I had the best massage! We checked in and recieved the $40 combination massage/reflexology. Such a clean and nice establishment. Loved how they had us choose from 1-10 on pressure beforehand. Unfortunately, did not receive the name of the masseuse's names. My masseuse did a wonderful job in my back and will definitely be coming back. Associate working the front desk was also very kind. Side note: It's unfortunate to read some reviews and seeing some people get a hissy fit over the idea of tipping. You are receiving a service in which someone is using their skills and manual labor on. Your masseuse has spent at least an HOUR using manual labor to make sure you received the best SERVICE that there is. Personal opinion but always believe you should tip after receiving any kind of had manual service being beauty/esthethic, service industry, manual Auto labor, movers, etc. Sorry no one taught you to being empathetic and understanding of others hard work. On the contrary, I understand not tipping if iservices you recieved weren't up to par, but if you enjoyed the services show it. Also, I also do get the fact it is pretty rude to actually ask for a tip and I would probably be bothered too. read more

I booked a 90 minute couples massage here. I checked in and the person at the front desk calculated my total for the massage and collected payment first and asked if I would be tipping. It was an awkward interaction because I tip higher if I've enjoyed the experience but this was before I received any services. She saw me struggling to figure out how much to tip and offered to let me pay afterwards. I just decided to get payment over with because this entire interaction already felt awkward. Most places don't try collecting payment until after and this exact situation is probably why. We were taken to the massage room. It was a hot day and they didn't have any air-conditioning, so it was a bit uncomfortable. Then our massages started. For me, I felt like I was being rubbed down almost like I was receiving heavy petting. It didn't feel like any massage I had before. I am unsure if the masseuses here are licensed, I should have checked beforehand. A few minutes in I was tempted to ask for a shorter massage but I had prepaid, so I just waited for it to be over. Towards the end of it my masseuse and my husband's masseuse had a heated argument. Mine left the room angrily and my husband's apparently started giving a more aggressive massage afterwards. He is currently in pain in his back from the experience. Mine came back and they both seemed to rush the finish of the massage. I wanted to tell the lady at the front desk about my experience but the front desk had a line and my masseuse was hovering. Since I already paid, I walked out the door but got stopped, I thought I would be asked how the massage was, she just double checked that she collected money from me. This place is fine for an affordable body rub but not for any relaxation, muscle relief or customer service. read more

Came into town for a wedding and booked appointment. We did the special $40 combo massage package. They did a great job. Very relaxing (love the foot massage). Will visit again when in town. Thank you! read more

Do not let the negative reviews deter you!! My husband and I went today to enjoy a couples 90 min massage and both of us walked out saying it was one of the best massages we have ever gotten!! Rooms and restrooms are extremely clean and nice, I saw some sauna rooms as well which also looked great. Parking can be tough during work hours as it shares a parking lot with Nektar and Starbucks, so plan a little extra time. We went on a Sunday and the lot was empty. We both agreed to return monthly, highly suggest you do the same! read more

Got an amazing couple's massage today!! I didn't know this place has been open for about a year. The store is super clean and has a good vibe. The masseuses are so professionals and friendly!! They give a strong massage as requested. FYI if you're going to a massage place, you will need to take off everything but your underwear. That's the norm, if you don't like it, you might stay away from it. The masseuses are friendly and work hard! Please be respectful for them!!!Definitely plan to go back!! read more

Best massage I have ever had! I have been here several times and this place is my go to 1. Very clean and reputable 2. Multiple services offered 3. Very knowledgeable about pressure 4. Kind, courteous and respectful 5. Walk ins and appointments 6. Restrooms are even immaculate read more

Great place to get a relaxing massage. I have been here several times and had different masseuses and they all did a great job.

It was just okay for me. This place is really clean and I so appreciate that. I didn't see licenses posted and I did ask if all treating therapists were licensed. The person I had didn't know what I was taking about when I mentioned specific ligaments and muscle groups - could be language barrier or simply didn't know. I won't go back because I want someone who knows the body muscles and ligaments so I feel confident they work out the knots and doesn't hurt or make my problems worse. This is a great place for a relaxing massage - if you're looking for something more specific to address needs, probably not ideal. Parking is bad at peak hours. Near freeway so convenient from that standpoint. read more

I don't normally write reviews but this one, I just have to. I went last night with my brother around 650pm-7pm, I was placed in room #6. The lady that was massaging me wasn't that great. I requested light to medium but she was really pressing hard like she's going through something. Im more in pain now then when I came in. My shoulders are in pain specially my head/neck area which feel like bruised and fresh pimple at the same time. There's multiple bumps that were never there before. This is not the outcome/experience that I wanted. I just wasted money to be more in pain after. read more

Second time visiting this spa. The first time my therapist was a little too hard but today we went and it was just perfect! We did a 60 minute couples massage. The price is affordable compared to other surrounding places. We'll be back! read more

Best massage of my life! This was my first experience with MaxRelax Spa, but it won't be my last. Lina, my massage therapist was incredible! My massage was the perfect combination of a strong massage to work out knots (way more than I knew I had) and relaxation. I've had lots of other massages, but this one left me feeling 100 times better than when I went in. Lina did a great job. The facility was clean, quiet, and relaxing. Plus, they were able to book me at short notice. I would highly recommend this spa. read more

Visiting from out of town, walked in and had a hot stone massage. Very good and reasonably priced. Private rooms that were comfortable and clean. Staff was very friendly . Highly recommend. Cindy was fab. read more

Never even got in. Ruined my entire day. So unorganized and no one speaks English. They have this huge menu and have no idea about anything. It's sad because if done the right way it could be wonderful. And it's not the employees fault. She was trying and was sweet. I blame completely the owners ! It's a wonderful area but will never make it if they can't communicate at all. So my sat to find relief from my pain was literally ruined. read more

While the Spa is clean, that is about the only good thing it has going for it. It was one of the worst massages of my life. First, I walk in, the lady at the front seems confused why I was in there even though I made an appointment for 60 minute deep tissue massage with 30 minutes of hot stone massage not 2 hours earlier. This is the start of bad to follow. I walk in, there's no one at the front, just someone saying "hello" from another room, finally get figured out and put into a room and am told "you're in room 3." No instructions just in the room. I had to walk out and go back to the back room area to confirm undressing. The masseuse comes in after I get prepped and am on the table, for a deep tissue she barely applied any pressure, I said harder at least 4 times throughout the massage. Not only that, it was obvious my masseuse was texting on her phone for a good chunk of the massage, constant vibrating back and forth, one handed barely any actual pressure massaging. She spent what felt like 3 minutes straight uncomfortably gently rubbing one calf with one hand while texting with the other. I paid for 30 minutes of hot stone massage and got barely 10 minutes. Not only that, the hostess came into the room multiple times to talk with my masseuse without knocking, further stopping my massage. Music was inconsistently on and you could hear workers loudly talking to one another with the door closed. When I turned over and she started to massage my face, which was barely rubbing my forehead, she had her phone next to my head texting still with the vibrations. It wasn't until I said it was distracting that she finally put her phone away. The room was cold, I was shivering on the massage table with AC blasting, for a place you're supposed to relax in and let your muscle tension ease out, it shouldn't be cold. My appointment was at 7:30 and she wrapped up my massage at 8:49, after starting around 7:40. I definitely did not get what I paid for. I felt rushed in and out and like they didn't care about any service they were providing. read more
