I always like to check out groupon when I'm in a new area and found myself wanting some pampering after my first week here in the Boston area and the 90 minute groupon seemed to be the right service for the right price. A recurring theme in my leisure time is difficulty finding parking and this was no exception. I had treated myself to steak and left my car in the parking lot there and walked down the block to my appointment, but have no idea where I would have parked otherwise. I arrived at my appointment an hour early and had seen that walk ins were welcome so I wasn't worried. I was greeted like a welcome friend by the lady at check in and was taken to a private area for my massage. I was instructed to take off my shirt and lay face down on the table. It appeared to be a normal massage table covered in towels and blankets, with a paper towel covering the area where you lay your face. After a moment or two, the gentleman performing the massage came in and got to work. He covered me with a sheet and performed the bodywork over the sheet, not using any lotions or creams. The massage was quite pleasant to be honest. I get regular massages and wasn't really expecting much, so it was a surprise. After the half hour massage, I was told to put my shirt back on and then escorted to a chair. My feet were placed in a warm bucket of water. While they were soaking, the massage room was turned over for the next guest. The half hour massage was very nice too. It was a nice moderate pressure and very relaxing. The steam wasn't my favorite. The position of the steam chamber became uncomfortable after about 10 minutes and 10 more after that, the steam was just too hot and I ended up taking my legs and feet out. I'd like to go back and try the hour accupressure foot massage. But, I need to do a little more research on the parking situation first. read more

I had extra credits on classpass that i needed to use so i used it for a 45 minute session - 15 shoulder and 30 foot. I booked the reservation through classpass for 1:30 and i came 15 minutes early. I could tell the lady wasn't expecting me until she asked if it was classpass. She overlooked the reservation and asked if I can come later around 2:30. I was able to coordinate with her and came back at 2 for the massage, so tip is if you book through classpass i would call to confirm. The interior is small and there is no privacy for foot massages, only shoulder massages. That didn't bother me though, just something to consider. It was my first time getting a foot massage and i thought i would laugh cuz my foot is ticklish but it was very nice and she was very good at it. The shoulder massage was also good as well. I did leave a tip as should everyone, and she did apologize for not seeing the reservation but she was really sweet and definitely a small business to check out! read more

Mozi Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Love this place.....you leave rejuvenated. But my last visit, I had a new guy and it wasn't too good. I was sore for 3 days smh...I should've asked for the lady I usually go to, but I didn't think it would be a big deal! Until he started his deep massage, which I didn't ask for! Been going for many yrs next time will just request gentle massage! Something definitely got lost in communication last visit. Overall clean, peaceful environment and friendly staff! read more

BEWARE!! One of the masseuses here will touch you in a way that is very uncomfortable... I just want a massage so I can't go here.

This location is up and running! I went here on a ClassPass deal and found the foot and back massage to be incredible. Will definitely come back! read more

2.5 Stars I'm glad to see that Mozi's page is better off now than when I first visited them last year -- but I'm kind of disappointed with my last visit here. I was genuinely excited to come back; I hardly ever visit Boston and when I do, I usually don't have the time to get a massage. I used a Groupon and got the Body Work and Reflexology w/ Foot Bath. The body work this time was pretty meh. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either. It wasn't Andy who worked with me this time, and I don't even remember the guy's name; all I remember was that he was older and probably middle-aged. He definitely used too much oil because my hair stuck to my back afterward. Blegh. The reflexology this time around was super mediocre and disappointing. I mean -- it's the reason I came! Even though I was the only person there that day, the man working on me definitely rushed through it. He didn't ask about the pressure or if I needed specific areas to be focused on; he just kind of went through the motions of a foot rub and let me steam afterward. During my foot bath, he left and the water got super hot. Usually, I have an insane tolerance for hot water, but that water was scalding; it actually felt cold, that's how hot it was. It took awhile for me to wave him down and tell him about the water; but all he did was take my feet out of the water and remove the foot bath completely. I hadn't even been soaking for five minutes. After my feet rested/recovered for a bit, he pretty much gave me a bottle of water and rushed me out. I don't know -- it just felt a little disappointing that my two experiences could be so different. I see Groupons for them all the time, so maybe I'll check out Mozi again and ask if Andy is still there; but right now, I'm just feeling a little put-off about the whole thing. read more

While not many frills, the massage you can get here (if looking for a more therapeutic massage) can be incredible. I have gone in having major leg/hip pain that I've tried to relieve with all sorts of PT exercises/ibuprofen/foam rolling to no avail, but then had a massage that magically alleviated the tension. They are humble experts in their craft. For those looking for a therapeutic massage that can alleviate muscle tension and pain, this is an incredible place. read more

Oh man! Come here folks. This was the perfect date night. The staff was so lovely and helped me and my hubby fall into a total state or relaxation. I highly recommend! read more

This is my go-to for a walk-in foot massage. Never mind the 'special offers' on yelp (they have expired) or groupons; you get better offers from their menu. It is a family owned-family run place. They have parking in the back and they are clean. An 1hour foot massage starts with a 15 min backrub, and it's my favorite treatment. Lucy is amazing and understands quite well customer's needs; the other two gentlemen just go through moves. Regardless, it is relaxing and affordable. read more

At this appointment I paid cash. Today I realized my credit card was missing. I must have left it behind somehow. I remember taking it out thinking I would use it to pay. Well I checked my account for the latest transactions and low and behold two pending charges for both the larger price and the lesser price I agreed to. So they tried charging my credit card? After I was told they were cash only? And I paid cash!! WTH ...super shady! I was even planning to go back to give a larger tip bc I didn't have much cash on me. No way. I cancelled my card and disputed the charges. So disappointing read more

We drove 40 min for a 5:30 appt. They hooked us up to 2 steamers and kept saying 10 minutes. Totally lying and totally didn't care. We were finally waiting on at 6:30. We would have left at any point had someone been honest with us. They kept lying in order to keep us the. Lied about the 5:30 initial time to get us there and kept lying & lying. Totally sketch. Don't go. read more

Oh Boy! I wish that I could give this place 0 stars! I don't even know where to begin with this place, but I truly hope that you do NOT purchase a Groupon because it is a wonderful price. One of the other reviewers was right on: Find another great deal... there are plenty! I had been experiencing a ton of back pain and tons of tension and had the day off. I decided to treat myself. I called and made an appointment for a 90 minute massage. Here's the lowdown. *The front of this joint has a mirror/shimmery front door instead of a curtain.. or um.. nothing. First mistake: not going with my gut....It was creepy looking from the start! *I went in and they had this notepad scheduling system..the place looked dark and depressing, not zen and comforting. I did not get a positive vibe at all. *I asked to use the restroom and it was downstairs in this dingy, torn up looking basement. It was kind of scary actually. At the very least it was quite unprofessional looking. For a "spa" there was absolutely no decor, color, or anything. There was this huge gaping area where there had once been a shower. *When I came upstairs after the restroom, I went into this "room" where there was a curtain, not a door! A tiny massage room. He told me to take off my clothes and get under the sheet and he would be right back. The headrest was cushioned with a paper towel! Not even a regular towel! Then, the sheet barely fit on me because it was so short. *This guy could not possibly have been licensed because his technique was awful and it seemed really creepy. I started having a huge amount of anxiety. A couple of other reviewers also spoke my exact sentiments! He seemed a little obsessed with the bum. I should have checked to see if he was licensed. He also hopped onto the table with me, I guess to get leverage! So I'm lying on the table and he is on it with me! Multiple times! At one point I told him he could use a bit more pressure and he did it so hard that I had to tell him to stop. I left with bruises..literally..I had bruises! And I don't bruise easily. When he asked me questions and I answered he also told me that he speaks little English. Definite communication barrier. *I asked him if he could do some work on my neck/head as I have been having some headaches and tons of tension. He started doing it and his nails were digging into me! * At one point, another employee poked his head into the curtain to talk to the guy who was massaging me. I felt kind of vulnerable. When he told me to turn over so he could work on me face up and he left the room, I was so filled with anxiety and tension that I got up, put my clothes on and left... the massage was not done, but I felt exposed and vulnerable and did not like the idea of being face up (and possibly having him jump back onto the table with me!) Anyway, it was really upsetting and not worth the Groupon. I will be contacting groupon. I wonder if place has ever even been certified by the board of health? I wonder if this massage therapist is licensed? Can he practice massage unlicensed? I, too, usually do tons of investigation and check reviews on Yelp. For some reason I did not this time. Lesson learned. Please save yourself the money, time, the parking hassle and travel. read more

I redeemed a Groupon here today for a 90 minute package - 30 mins of bodywork, 30 mins foot massage/reflexology and 30 mins foot steam. Sure, the decor is a little outdated and it doesn't have the tranquil ambiance of a fancy upscale spa, but overall I thought it was great. I did read through some of the yelp reviews before going and they were quite harsh. It's not a massage, it's a body rub. That's why it's advertised as bodywork rather than a massage. The reflexology was incredibly relaxing, especially in combination with the steam. I can see myself buying another Groupon for this. read more

I've been to several body work and reflexology places. I got a gift for a 90 minute combo. They do what I call an 'asian style' massage which is normal to get a massage over a sheet/towel then the normal body rub. And it's normal for them to go on the bed!! I see reviews where people freak out but that's just a different way of massage. I've had it several times in different states. And the curtain Isn't weird either. Anyways, first was a 30 minute body work. It was okay just a lot of pressing down over the sheet, effleurage (rubbing) and then some petrissage (beating) at the end. The woman I had was decent with the pressure. But it was nothing too special. I felt like she needed more flow. After the body work, I was sat down in the chairs and soaked my foot in some lukewarm water for about 10 minutes. I wish it was warmer. Borderline cold. The foot massage/reflexology was for 30 minutes. I am used to massage therapists who use way more pressure but like I said this lady was decent. No bruises. The last part was a 30 minute foot steam. This I've never had! Pretty cool. It got quite hot but I like it. I don't think the average person could handle it. The receptionist guy was nice and kept checking on me. But Damn that steam made my legs and foot baby bottom soft. Ahha. Not bad for the price paid $39(original is $110) But I probably wouldn't return. I've been to better places in boston. I tipped off the original. $20. read more

I went in for my 90 min combo Groupon today. After my body work, foot reflexology and steam, I cannot understand the negative reviews. Yes, there is a language barrier with my masseur, Michael, but once he understood what I was looking for, he worked hard to make my experience very pleasant and enjoyable. Yes, the decor is not luxurious, no fancy decor, fruit juices etc. It has a very simple layout of comfy loungers in a dimly light room. Not DARK, but dim as who wants bright lights in one's face for a massage? The massage rooms are tiny and has only a curtain, that is true. But seriously that actually made me feel safer when I found out my masseur was male! I did not feel uncomfortable with any untoward attention to my private parts, even when he got on the massage bed to work on my lower back. A surprising move I would say! The massage had quite a few painful moments but that was at my request as I wanted a hard, full strength knot breaking massage. I had experienced such massages in Asia where it would hurt like hell during but after everything is loose and good. You will ache the next few days, but that is to be expected. I guess I have massages to help me loosen up all the work I put my body through, I had lotion used on my back, and was asked often if the pressure was OK. A nice hot towel was used to wipe off my back at the end of the body work. The foot soak was quick, and he spent a good long 40 mins on my feet. Yes, painful again as I asked for it! It was really weird that certain pressure points made my face warm up! Actually this foot reflexology was less painful than the one I had in Vegas, which brought me to tears on a few moves. Then a long steam, where he came back twice to check on me to see if the heat was hot enough. Then a quick wipe down, a quick rub down with lotion. What a relaxing 90 mins! I was really, really relaxed later at home after dinner. I have the after massage glow, my body temp feels higher than normal. I will return and ask for the same masseur. I can see that he takes pride in his work, focusing on my feet. I can hear him breathing hard from exertion as he worked on my back.! I feel he really took care of me. If you do go, please go in with realistic expectations. It is a mom & pop operation. Nothing fancy, but you will get a good massage if you are willing to be patient in getting your wants and specifications communicated to your masseur. read more

Like many other Yelpers, I came here with a Groupon. I had purchased a 90 minute bodywork and foot massage package and ended up asking for the reflexology only, based on reviewers' negative massage experiences. I'm glad I did and I will likely return. Setting: What the heck are you people complaining about with the setting?! It's not a 5 star hotel spa, but it's quite comfortable, gently lit, quiet, and clean. Much more attractive than I was expecting from reviews. Sure, they keep it sanitary with slightly-worse-for-wear-towels and they lug around buckets for foot soaking. But it's also wicked cheap, comparable to other places in the area. Service: Fabulous. From accommodating a last-minute reservation request, to accepting my shift of desired services upon arrival, to the treatment itself, it was all so nice. It is true that only a couple people there can do more than exchange the basics in English, and this was a bit annoying when I was trying to communicate a particular discomfort at one point. Reflexology: Next time, I might ask for more pressure where possible, but wow, it felt amazing. The woman working with me was capable and strong and was definitely adjusting her technique to particularly tense or sensitive areas as she went. They ended my session with a 30-minute "steam" session, a makeshift portable sauna that left me looking a bit like a boiled lobster from the knees down. It felt great. This is a weird thing to say, but I felt like I smelled worse afterwards and the way it felt was like it really had pulled toxins out of me. Make of this what you will, Yelpers. re: the "mysterious lotion"--it was light, non-greasy, and didn't smell perfumed. I assume it's similar to the bulk lotion they use at every nail place I have ever to. I have very sensitive skin and this lotion did not bother me. read more

Very good. I've been to a number of places for foot "reflexology" and this ranks among the best. Clean and courteous service. I wouldn't necessarily go there for a full body massage, they are not massage therapists, it's a body rub. But definitely worth going for your feet. I think any of the earlier negative comments probably came from people who had never been to something like this before. It's a learning experience. You want a massage, go to a massage therapist. read more

If you are looking for chic spa look elsewhere...but if you are looking for a great relaxing foot massage at a reasonable price you have found it. The place is clean and big comfy chairs are adjustable. I have had many massages in lots of different venues and I think I would take this at face value. It is reflexology and not meant to be what most people think of as a massage. It is relaxing and relieves the tension and stress. I would go back and will recommend it to friends! read more

Had my most relaxing day here. The workers are amazing and their massaging techniques are even better! My boyfriend and I got the couples 90 min massage on groupon and it was the best purchase ever! If you want a relaxing day you need to come here! They make magic here hahahaha. But really they do wonders! read more

Mozi Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I did the 90 minute foot reflexology / foot steam bath / body work. I had a female therapist. The foot reflexology was good. Not the best but not bad either. The foot steam bath was a huge waste of time/money. After about 20 minutes of having my feet in a big wooden bucket with some steam being pumped in I flagged her down and said "enough". Total waste of time. The body rub was meh. Not enough pressure and in 30 minutes, not much can be accomplished. I'd probably go back but only for the reflexology. The price is pretty cheap too. read more

Oh boy. I went in own the Groupon for the 90 minute bodywork and foot spa. I believe "bodywork" is what they are allowed to call it when the "therapists" very obviously are not trained in massage and aren't licensed. A nice man gave me a very dry back and butt rub. At one point he even hopped up onto the table! I thought wow, this is a first. The "bodywork" was terrible but the foot rub and steam bath were pretty ok. I'd recommend that if you get a deal. I read more

I've visited Mozi three (3) times now. During each visit I had the same service performed - the 60 minute foot spa & bath. This was a Groupon deal. I found the spa to be clean, an extremely relaxing milieu with piano music playing and a small water stream running in the background. These service started out with back work and arm work, then I was seated with a comfortable & warm blanket in a very relaxing chair while my feet and legs were worked on. The staff was professional, well trained in their craft and I haven't felt this relaxed and at peace in a very long time. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for an inexpensive and approachable massage and/or specialty massage therapy body work and foot work. I LOVE MOZI FOOT SPA! read more

Mozi Foot Spa - 60 minute foot spa and reflexology at Mozi Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

See all

5 stars for the foot reflexology! My feet felt amazing for a solid few days after my appointment. Minus 1 star for the bodywork (it wasn't great, and without any sort of lotion or moisturizer used, it actually hurt somewhat), and minus another star for having no place to wait if you get to your appointment a bit early. Also, on the way out, they ask you if you tipped...which is kind of weird and not what you want to hear after a fantastic foot massage. Overall, a decent experience, but I will keep trying to find the perfect spot for my feet. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing. My first trip I just had a 30 min foot reflexology. I will definitely be returning.... maybe tomorrow

i call for a appointment last minute with my brother and they manage to squeeze us in. The decor is nice and quiet, the Women working on us were wonderful. I had a groupon for 29 dollars for a 60 min foot massage which include a30 min arm and shoulder massage followed by a 3in reflexology section. I don't know why they are not getting good reviews but for me, the over all experience was relaxing! read more

Mozi Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I had a 90-minute Swedish massage with Andy, and it was hands down, the best massage I've ever experienced. I thought I had received a great massage last winter when I spent a fortune at a ridiculously posh 5-star resort in Zermatt, Switzerland. Pffft. This guy Andy blew that massage therapist out of the water. He learned his techniques at a massage school in L.A., he told me. I also like the vibe of Mozi. It's immaculately clean with that quiet, darkish spa feel with the spa music thing going. The front desk receptionist Ray is very gracious, sweet, and accommodating. He offered me complementary bottled water both when I arrived and upon leaving (and Chinese candy!). And they don't make you fill out 10 minutes worth of tedious paperwork on your first visit, either. I don't know much about Asian foot reflexology but I will go back and try that massage and the "foot steam" too. This place is adorable. I hope their business will thrive (they're fairly new in town). read more

60 min of footwork was the spa treatment you didn't know you needed. I don't know about you, but I abuse my poor feet on a regular basis, especially at this time of year as I schlep around in heavy boots through ice and snow. Enter Mozi Foot Spa. The relief and relaxation I felt for the hour of massaging and steaming was incredible. The gentleman performing the service was also so sweet and sent me home with a bit of Chinese candy. I will definitely be back and highly recommend that others take advantage of this relaxing treatment! read more

I had a groupon here for a 60 minute back massage. First off - I was impressed that the very nice man at teh front desk let me ;split' it - I used it for a 30 minute back massage and a 30 minute food massage. Although the place isn't fancy, it is normal for a 'mom and pop' regular asian massage place. I thought the lady did a good job on me (yes, she used lotion) but I read another review here that her nails were too long and I agree - it was weird and once hurt for a sec. - but other than that - I'd say if you are good with no frills, come here. I would again - with a Groupon. Prob. not without one. PS: It is very oncenient on Mass Ave. after Porter Sq. and the people were very nice! read more

Great spot for no frills, deep tissue body work. Lucy knows what she's doing. Don't go for ambiance or aromatherapy - this isn't a luxury spa. Worth every penny you pay for straightforward massage. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 60 min foot massage with shoulder and arm massage too! The employees are so sweet and it's a very calming environment. Very clean as well! I will absolutely be going again soon! They're pretty busy (good sign!) so I recommend making an appointment before you go. read more

Bad massage. Switched masseuses and it still was bad. They just don't seem to know what they are doing.Don't waste your time

Making an appointment does not carry any weight here - be prepared to wait. The spa smells - a combination of old food and stagnant air. Steer clear read more

I don't see how this place is still doing business. I bought 90 minute service, paid for it, and I received 60 minutes of non memorable foot and body massage . On top of that , I was asked by the owner how much I want to tip the guy. I would never go back there. read more

Again I find myself asking why I didn't check Yelp and listen to my fellow reviewers. This place is AWFUL and it's not worth any discount. If price is an issue, there are so many other options via daily coupon deals that I highly recommend avoiding Mozi at all costs! I purchased a Groupon for a 90 minute massage and was counting the minutes until it was over. I was led to a small room with a thin curtain separating the table from the main area of the shop. A gentleman who didn't speak English, "sorry, speak little English", made it impossible for me to communicate what works and doesn't during the massage. The entire experience was awkward and painful and anything but relaxing. Maybe next time I'll be wise enough to do additional research and not waste my time and money. read more

I had a coupon for a 90 minute massage. I tend to remove all my clothes when I get massages elsewhere, so I did here too. BIG mistake. The masseuse, Martin, seemed obsessed with massaging my butt. Then, when I turned over, his hands tried to move so far up my inner thighs that I had to push him away. Freaky! Even when he wasn't being completely inappropriate, his massage technique was limited to long strokes on my back, not a real massage. And he drizzled so much oil directly onto me that he had to use paper towels to sop it up. Steer clear of this place. It's not worth even the discounted rate. read more

Could I give them zero stars? I too bought the 90 body massage Groupon and it was awful. First they started 15 minutes late to irritate me. Second the massage therapist could not have been certified. I did not get a massage but rather just rubbed and inappropriately no less. The guy hurt me by massaging my spine. He then had no idea to massage my neck and kept rubbing the bones. Third he got on top of me, which I have never had done. It was horrible. I wish I had read the reviews prior to going. I will be reporting them to Groupon. And I have had many lovely massages and experiences through Groupon. I do not recommend this at all. I thought it was fine because there were people getting foot massages when I walked in. I will say the foot massage part of the body work was amazing. Not massage but rather reflexology. But terrible and return the groupon. read more

Just going to throw out there for anyone, apparently bodywork also means ALL the body parts. Usually massage therapists carefully fold the sheet as to only expose the parts of you they are massaging. Mine completely forsook the sheet and I was a$$-up exposed on the bed. Then she had me turn on my back and went ahead and massage all parts of my front, save my bikini bottom area. I was a little too shell shocked to say anything. I would not recommend if this is a first experience. You will never go back for another massage. I would, just not here. Can't comment on the foot massage. read more

I don't know why I didn't check yelp either when I got a groupon, but this place is so creepy. When I got there, there was no one there, I had to find someone in the back. It was dark and seemed deserted. I've had a massage or two a year for the past 10 years, so this isn't just a newbie being paranoid. The guy who gave my hot stone massage must've been the same weirdo that the other reviewers had. He kept rubbing long strokes down my back and down my butt. His breath smelled like onions. It was the most anxiety ridden hour of my life. I kept thinking about how quickly I could grab my phone if he got any more friendly. I've never had a hot stone massage (just normal ones), so I don't know how it was supposed to be, but he did the creepy rub thing for 35 minutes and then put the hot stones on my back over and over for 20 minutes. They were hot, because I could hear him go "ow hot" over and over when he'd get them. SUPER relaxing..(not). As a woman, looking out for other women, PLEASE do not go here. PLEASE forget about the money you spent on the deal, if you did, and DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Lucy and Linda were both outstanding. I had an anniversary day there on Saturday and ended up booking an extra treatment bc it was so wonderful. They even gave us a gift at the end for our special day. We plan on coming back often. read more

I used a groupon for this 90 minute combo, and ten minutes into it I was mentally going through my schedule to figure out when I could come back. This was a amazing. The reflexology was amazing, I have some chronic nerve issues in my feet and this helped more than anything I've ever tried. Totally wonderful. The foot steam bath is incredibly relaxing, I loved it. The bodywork - this was really one of the best bodywork experiences I've ever had. He pinpointed my problem spots immediately and went right to work on them, I have tension headaches and this took the beginnings of one right away. I cant' wait to go back. No frills, no fuss, just great bodywork at really remarkable prices that will have you leaving feeling so much better. I'll be a regular here for sure. read more
