I originally booked a half foot and half body massage, but I modified it and requested shoulder,…read moreneck, head, and foot instead of the usual back and foot combination, and they were very accommodating. It ended up being one of the most relaxing experiences. I had a bad headache that day, and Sasa focused on my head massage, which helped a lot. I felt so much better afterward. I will definitely come back and recommend this place. They don't speak much English, but they are very open and accommodating to your needs. Their prices are on the more affordable side, so I highly recommend tipping generously if you're happy with the service. They do ask you to pay first, but I let them know I would add the tip after the service, and they were completely okay with that. I didn't feel pressured to tip in advance at all. The place is clean and neat. see the pictures for reference.

The front desk staff ended up doing my massage, which was already unexpected. I had booked a…read moreone-hour foot massage, but instead she kept rubbing the same spot on my head over and over--it wasn't relaxing, it was actually irritating. When I looked up, I saw she was on her phone, texting, and only using one hand to absentmindedly rub my head without paying attention to what she was doing. I immediately called her out, and she didn't deny it--she just told me to wait for another massage therapist. This experience made it clear that this business does not prioritize or respect its customers.

I was in major pain, work has my back out of whack and was in desperate need for someone to get everything feeling better. I gave Lucky foot Spa a call and headed right over. I knew how messed up I was so I opted for the two hour massage for $140, such a great deal for something so necessary for me. Jennifer was my masseuse and she was super strong, maybe even too strong for me and I'm a thick gym goer who has a decent pain threshold. I thought I needed work on my back, but Jennifer found that the true cuplrit of my pain was my neck and shoulders. She tried to knead her way to get the knots out of my neck and shoulders, but I will definitely need a few more visits for a real resolution. Its been two days since that massage and I am feeling so much better! I definitely need to make a bi weekly massage part of my self care routine. When im ready for my next one, ill be right here at Lucky foot spa

The woman at the front desk was extremely rude and gruff, the place felt dirty, and massage itself sucked, didn't seem like she knew what she was doing, there was no presence, or attention. So, I did NOT tip (and I usually always tip because its a nice thing to do, especially if you really appreicate the services etc but I was upset by my experience and a massage is supposed to relax you).. when she was done, I got dressed, and start walking towards to the exit door and the message therapist accosts me "Why didn't you tip me?! I gave you a massage!?! Why no tip!?" I just shook my head and left. I will not return. They are rude, really poor interpersonal skills and have no skills in their craft.

Based on what I witnessed firsthand, this was not simply someone being unhappy with a service there were visible marks on her skin afterward.

When a customer has visible injuries following a service, I would expect the business to take the situation seriously, show concern, and work toward a resolution. I am leaving this review specifically as someone who personally witnessed the condition of her skin and the scratches following the body scrub.

It's right on the outskirts of Oakland's Chinatown on a little gritty little street, but I didn't feel unsafe. The place its self is also gritty and not pretty. You need to pay up front and the rooms are bare boned with a curtain over each door for privacy. If you need spa music and mood lighting, you won't find it here, but if you're looking for a deep tissue massage that will leave you limp like a rag doll, this is the place! I specifically asked for a male massage therapist (masseur) and Ken was my massage therapist. I have extremely tight QL muscles that most massage therapists cannot or will not dig deep enough to find. It takes work digging into it. I showed Ken the sore spots and he IMMEDIATELY found it and worked on it for a good 30 minutes. It hurt, I'm not kidding, but it's the GOOD HURT you need to break up deep muscle adhesions. He used deep pressure throughout my body and found virtually every knot and adhesion. He did ask several times if the pressure was OK. He even found some on my scalp that I didn't know I had! The massage was incredible all around and I will absolutely be back for more massages!

I considered leaving because the price didn't match what was advertised online, but I decided to treat myself and went through with the appointment anyway. Unfortunately, the massage itself was just average and didn't stand out. What really left a bad impression was what happened afterward. As I was checking out, the employee stood at the front asking about a tip. I was honestly surprised. I had already paid significantly more than the advertised online price, and now I was being asked to tip on top of that. Businesses need to honor the prices they advertise or clearly update them online before customers book. Charging one price online and another price when the customer arrives is frustrating and misleading. The experience wasn't worth what I ended up paying.

Amanda's demeanor is warm and endearing. Her office / massage studio is in a convenient location and is an inviting and relaxing space. She's respectful of silence during sessions but has also proven to be a compassionate listener and a friendly conversation partner. She's extremely attentive to feedback of all kinds, including feedback that I didn't even realize I was giving. The slightest twitch, shrug, gesture or sigh is fluently interpreted into an ever-adapting massage experience. During my last session I asked Amanda what kinds of feedback she receives during massage. Without exaggeration, I can honestly say that what followed was easily the most mellifluous prose I've ever heard describing the empathetic interpretation of body language. She's truly gifted. I've mostly asked for relaxation/swedish style massage but have also received excellent massages for sore muscles/achy back/shoulder/neck. If you're looking for a comforting massage for relaxation or muscle aches, this is the place to go. I'm sure she's probably great with other modalities as well, but these are the only ones I can speak to. I almost didn't want to write this review because all of you other Yelpers might take up my future appointment slots, but ultimately decided that this is a small business I couldn't help but support.
