I booked a massage here because my friend gave me a gift card on Spa Finder and this location…read moreshowed up! I was in dire need of a massage. When I called I specifically asked for a CBD massage with medium to firm pressure, and they were very accommodating and informative. I booked my appointment online and was so excited to get a massage! I want SO badly to give this place more stars, but the massage itself was mediocre. It was $175 for a 50 minute massage, plus $20, it was about $200! And it literally was $200 for someone just lathering me in CBD oil. I ASKED for medium to firm pressure and even wrote it on the paper, and it wasn't even a massage. I walked out still tense but really oily. I don't plan on coming back especially since it's so expensive for 50 minutes of just being lotioned. It would be cheaper if you bought CBD lotion or oil and lathered it on your body yourself.

I booked a couples massage as a surprise gift for my husband for father's day. The massages…read morethemselves were good, I just wish I had enough confidence to have asked my masseuse to put more pressure, but she didn't ask and I was afraid to tell, so that's on me. My husband had never had a massage before and my first and last was 20 years ago, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Things to consider: They had good dark lighting and music to set the mood for relaxation, but you can still hear traffic outside. This didn't bother me, but if you're someone who doesn't want to hear that I recommend earbuds. There's a dispensary downstairs and you can smell it lightly, so if you're sensitive to that be aware you can slightly smell that. Not their fault, just is one of those things. The price is pretty great. I shopped around and I saw how massages can range quite a bit. This was on the lower average scale. After we were done it felt really awkward though because there was no side chat of any kind. It was just okay you owe this much. We paid and I was waiting for a receipt, but she was just like "okay". So, we just sort of turned around to leave. I must have said thank you like 4 times between the end of the massage and paying lol. When we were leaving my husband's masseuse gave us some water and said "have a nice day" and that was the end of our experience. It was all fine, but not overly welcoming. We would totally go back, but I genuinely don't know if they want us to. Haha.

Was told the price had gone up and we would have to pay the difference. But then were treated as if we didn't pay for our massages.

And to top it off I offered a tip that we had and cash and was forced to tip a set amount. 25 percent!!!! They had a few workers standing in front of us as if to bully us into tipping big.

I've been going here for 6 years. I suppose I had a good run while it lasted BUT, I will never EVER…read morego back again. Monica was my gal. She was amazing but she moved out of state recently and of course I was forced to try someone new. Went to Coco a couple of times and she was just as amazing. Coco was booked tonight (she's the manager) and so she suggested that I book with Lisa which is who I was suppose to get a massage with only to have a bait and switch when I arrived and had to go to Amy instead. I was peeved but decided to trust Coco since she knows me and what I like. I thought I'd be in good hands (no pun intended). Amy gave the worst massage I have ever had. She asked if I wanted light or medium. I like medium touch but honestly she was just rubbing skin, barely applying any pressure, slapping on oil. and phoning it in. But the kicker was towards the end of the massage, she puts cloves on to massage my feet, NEVER have I had a body massage with cloves on (except a pedicure). AND, this is AFTER she massaged my body with her bare hands the whole time. Makes no sense. THEN, she took paper towels and rubbed the oil off of my feet which felt like sand paper scrapping my skin off. I really should have just stopped the massage so it's partly my fault for letting her continue. BUT, I figured I would just tip her less and call it day. I've always tipped 30% on average, EXCEPT for tonight when I handed her a 10% tip, (honestly I wanted to leave no tip). She pointed to the NEW tip chart with a range saying she wanted more. I was livid. My intention was to be quiet about this b/c I've been going here for so long and I figured one bad massage over the years wasn't worth the complaint BUT b/c AMY forced the issue, I was forced to let her know (and now you, here on yelp) that it was the worst massage I have ever had and b/c she demanded more of tip, she needed to know that is the REAL issue and she got exactly what she gave. I told her that I've been a client for 6 years and I will never come back again. I will make sure all of my associates and friends in Ventura never step foot in this establishment again. On top of it, I had one of those punch cards for every massage you get, it adds up to a free foot massage which was almost full. Amy grabbed it and said she'd give it to me at the end of the massage. Needless to say I didn't get it back. LOL. Not that it matters now cause they lost a long time client. Oh & btw; I'm a licensed Massage Therapist myself for 24 years so I'm very careful with feedback b/c everyone has their own style and touch. Its subjective. Right? In all the years as a Massage Therapist, I've never demanded that a client tip me more. And that's the issue. The quality of service is determined by the discretion of the client. Period. And if this business requires a "set tip" then it needs to be built into the price of the massage. This tipping chart is brand new btw and I was completely unaware until I decided tip below what I normally give.

I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MY EYEBROWS TO DATE, Ruth the owner has contacted me several times…read moreto remove my review regarding eyebrow tattooing at her business, however I am stating facts that are real and true and it is however my review, everyone proceed at their own risks. Ruth states that Daxy the girl that tattoos eyebrows is just a contractor at her business, but that means she's still an employee and she's still working there. I am very dissatisfied with my eyebrows, I have a patchy area where the ink did not take, I tried to call on several occasions, and even went to see Daxy in person before I left a review. She would not do anything to fix my brows, however she continues to work on new people and stay open for business? Ruth says my review is hurting her business, however what about my face, the tattoo isn't located somewhere I can hide them, they're on my face, how dare Ruth threaten me with legal action as well through messaging through yelp. Also Ruth says she doesn't speak English or understand me, but yet she's messaged me in English in a verbal attack.

I went in on Thursday for a Hydrafacial, I left there with such utter disappointment and lack of…read moreservice. Arlette performed my Hydrafacial, I don't think she is very experienced. She did not have the steamer on for most of the facial so as she was putting products on my face it felt as she was just tugging my face because the product got dry, it also didn't help that she was literally using her whole hand to rub in the dry products it really just felt as if she was tugging on my face the whole time. Not very enjoyable. She did turn on the steamer for maybe 3 to 5 minutes before she did extractions, that's it. Once it was time to use the actual Hydrafacial machine she went over my face once but she did miss some spots on my face, she did not use the machine evenly throughout my face. I've gotten Hydrafacials done here before from Ruth the owner and she usually goes over my face with the machine a couple of times and it never feels like she's tugging my face, she also always has the steamer on for the whole Hydrafacial. If my review was solely based on this experience it would most definitely be 1 star, the only reason why this is 4 stars and not 1 star is because I've been here before and know what's is like to have an awesome experience. Ruth is amazing the experience is always very enjoyable and relaxing with her. Unfortunately that was not the case this time, they really fell short with the experience I left still wanting a facial and my skin did not feel hydrated nor did I feel relaxed. Always ask for Ruth when coming here I DO NOT recommend Arlette.

5 Stars Impressive bodywork, thoughtful attention to detail,…read moreand prices you can't beat. Bamboo Creek Chinese Spa in Santa Paula just became my non-negotiable monthly reset. I've had massages all over -- from Los Angeles to high-end spas -- and this experience exceeded all expectations. I booked a combination session: deep tissue, hot stone, reflexology, and lymphatic -- and the attention to detail in every single modality was incredible. * Deep tissue: They worked with focused intensity, not just "pressing hard" but skillfully targeting the exact areas where tension lived -- especially in my back, shoulders, and neck. You could tell the therapist knew the body's anatomy and how to unlock muscle groups with precision. * Reflexology: This wasn't a generic foot rub -- this was intentional pressure point work that followed the full reflex map. I could literally feel the connection from my feet to other parts of my body. * Lymphatic massage: Gentle, rhythmic movements that supported circulation and detox. It's something so many of us overlook, but they made it part of the healing experience seamlessly. I also found out they offer cupping, and I'll absolutely be trying that next time. It's rare to find a location that integrates so many modalities at this level of skill -- and especially at these prices. I've posted a photo of the updated price sheet -- and trust me, you won't find rates like this in LA or any luxury spa. It's affordable, consistent, and you walk away feeling like your entire body has been rebalanced. Another standout detail? When you check in, they let you customize the session based on your needs and pressure preference. I chose a level 4-5, knowing I needed deeper work (especially with fibromyalgia), and while I'll likely be sore tomorrow, I feel 100% better already. Bonus: They also have a sister location in Ojai -- so even if you're traveling nearby, you have options. This place is a hidden gem, and I'm so incredibly grateful to have it right here in Santa Paula. If you're ready to take your self-care seriously, this is where you start.

GETTING HERE: This business is in downtown Santa Paula on Main Street. It is across the street from…read morewhere The Draft at Mupu Grill is located (and the old Garman's). REVIEW: This is a rough update to write and I have been sitting on it for a little bit. First and foremost, even with c 19 and the whole "not using cash as much" thing, Bamboo Creek Spa prefers cash. I get it. But, sadly I didn't have cash on me at this time. Their sign that states the $2 fee for credit card use had fallen down near the check-out. I didn't know/nor did I expect the $2 fee. Honestly, I would have come back another day with cash had I known what I was going to experience after the massage. Massage was OK. Good, I guess. Huge language barrier unfortunately, so when I asked the woman for lighter pressure, she didn't appear to understand what I asked for and continued w/out a change. I asked her again a 2nd time for lighter pressure (I used a hand gesture hoping that would work) and it did. But, then she eased up too much and she was only lightly rubbing my feet with her fingertips. Meh. Had there not been such an issue with a language barrier I probably could have rated 4 stars. At checkout is where things went south. I was prepared, and expected to pay with my card and was going to tip her in cash. When the lady was about to ring me up she then included the $2 service charge, to my shock. (Now, I get the whole thing. This is not a place to argue discuss the sad state of our present world. My issue and great concern is that I was not told or informed a head of time about it.) This lady called for another employee and they began talking in their native language. The 2nd lady then took over my transaction and I felt bullied and attacked for my financial choice of how I wanted to proceed with payment once I was aware of the $2 service fee. It was a pretty good massage, otherwise.
