*Review left after 5 massages in 1 month* Oh my gosh! So glad I stopped by this place. I live super close and decided to finally stop in. I'll be honest... I was nervous after reading the reviews hence why I wanted to go a few times before leaving a review. I know sometimes a place is amazing the first two times, get you hooked and the service drops off. Not for this place! My first massage was for an hour and a half with Ella. 4.5/5. Very good, I did the combo half body, half foot. Pressure was great. I went back 4 more times and had George. He is kick ass! He makes me feel comfortable, always kept me covered and had the perfect amount of pressure. He's so nice and I never feel awkward or anything. I do want to address some people talking about the tipping and also how they have a recommended tip chart. When you go out and eat, your receipt has a recommended tip section. We have accepted that? I'm going to be honest here.. you're paying $40 for a one hour foot massage.. frankly that's wrong if you're not tipping at least $15-$20. Some one hour massage places are charging $120-140 excluding tip. I understand this isn't a luxurious spa, but come on! $60 including tip for a foot massage is reasonable. If you didn't like it, I get it... don't go back then or you can give feedback during the massage. Don't be shy. My only feedback for them is the last two times I was there, it was a bit stuffy. Hoping it was just some hotter days it won't be as hot in there going forward. This is my new weekly go to place! read more

I lived here a few years ago and this was my favorite massage place. Their service was impeccable! Today, this was not the case. We called and requested a couples massage for 1 hour. They said no problem, can you come in 30 minutes? We said sure! When we arrived, the two young ladies in the front said they could not do one hour, only 30 min. We said no problem, we will come back in 2 days at 6 PM for a one hour couple's massage. They said it's okay, we can do an hour, please stay. The room was cold, they were coming in and out of the room multiple times, walked in on us undressing, then scolded us for lying between the sheets and kicked us off the table and told us to put towels on. I rated massage 1 out of 5 stars, my partner 2 out of 5 stars. It was a terrible experience. They skipped the hot stones that were advertised. Won't be going back! New owners and mgmt, from what I can see. read more

I came here the 1st time this Disgusting employee who work there she indirectly just says GET OUT so this is how it begins.I asked her the price for how much the 1hr$ foot and body massage total @ she mentions out of her mind only 30 mins 70$ I was like WTF??? No place does this much price and 30 mins for that short time period 70$??? So it's a sign she is telling me to get out again so I made the decision to just I walk out this was very, very terrible experience.I was like what the fuck are you serious? She is a scammer and iam never returning here again. I will tell a lot of people about this is a toxic people who work there are unwelcoming rude . Just Skip this place read more

I think they changed owners. Last year it was $40 for 1 hour combo and now they want $70! Not worth $70 at this place where you don't unclothe. Others in the area charge $50 for 1hour combo. Plus they have a TIP chart (never seen that) May pressure you for more tip if not their liking. read more

I got the worst body massage that I have ever had Person do not have massage skills Wasted my time and got negative experience

I really really had high hopes coming here. The place is clean and nice but that's all. Let's start with the front desk man, he was cool but definitely pressured for us to do the table massage however, I stuck with the 1hr foot massage. Then the actual massage was all over the place and was highly disappointing. Let's just say the whole right side of my body barely got massaged. She barely poked my back and neck with her fingers. The lotion was slapped onto my skin and it was really cold and would shock me. The front desk man massaged my wife for 10 mins, switched to ac lady and then back to him the last 10 mins. He was really rough and not in a good way. The females were very chatty so it was hard to relax. The whole experience was just so awkward and I'm sad because I really wanted to like this place. read more

See all

Total thumbs down. Terrible. My husband spent his hard earned money to treat me to a massage. Guarantee the ladies who provided service are NOT certified. I have had massages there in the past under previous ownership and it was pretty consistently good. This visit was disappointing. The purpose behind a massage is to relax, release tension throughout the body in a quiet setting. That means no talking ,no disruptions. And if you expect a tip for service , provide good service. Don't start massaging and then pause to request payment. Don't tack on a surcharge for CC payment at the start. Then negotiate a tip and in the event the CC is the only payment option, add another surcharge. You better go back to business school. This experience was one and done. read more

I've been coming at this massage spot for years but today the experience was the ABSOLUTE WORST. The new owner is driving this place to the ground and treating customers unfairly. Don't waste your money...The masseuse and owner himself harassed us to tip more and tried blocking the door. read more

Hidden away in a small, busy parking lot next door to an Italian restaurant on one side and laundromat on the other, Rejoice Foot Spa has a slightly clandestine appearance. On the inside, the spa is quite nice. On the left side facing away from entrance, there are beds separated by curtains for the "foot massages"- in quotations because the foot massages incorporate head, neck and legs along with the feet. On the right, there are three rooms for body massages- one has two beds for couple massages. You have the option of male or female masseuse. For the foot massage, clothes on. Body massage- clothes off. Both include hot stones. I like the package deal which includes 30 minutes foot and 90 minutes body for $85. They have a stamp card which is great value. After a few massages, I got $20 off. The walls and curtains are thin so I've overheard couples in the past with regards to tipping. They prefer cash tips, although there is an option to tip with credit card after. Massages are paid for upon arrival. Don't be the person that gets an hour foot massage for $30 and doesn't tip. This is a great affordable place to get massages. Pro tip: on weekends or evenings, call for an appointment. read more

I had Lily and the massage was nice. The gentleman doing the scheduling was nice, too. Most employees seemed to speak basic English (which is not always the case) and my overall experience was good -I want to come back. However, the price is not that great -the menu is about the places in malls or even more. I'm ok with that... but one thing that really makes me feel uncomfortable is the sign suggesting to tip like $20 per hour. That would be $30 for a 90 min. ($89) massage but I only tipped $20. Glad I got no complaint. I've had quite a few really bad experiences at other places, literally not letting me out until I paid over 30%. I'm still a bit concerned about that sign, but hopefully my experiences will continue to be good. read more

Maybe it was because I wasn't expecting much or maybe it's because this was my first foot/body massage experience, but I really liked it! Save for the pain that I did not know was somewhat normal to experience. I got the $20 massage that included foot and body for a total of 60minute massage - when I first saw that, I thought they'd do a crappy job because it was ...cheap (or well I think it's cheap). But wow! It was really great. I had a guy do the massage on me (i'm a girl) and that was a little weird at first but after about 10minutes, I didn't mind at all. And I never made a sound through the entire massage but when I scrunched my face a bit in pain, I could feel the masseur pause for a bit and lighten his touch; that was really nice of him. The place itself is pretty dark - dim isn't even close lol. I'm kind of night blind so that was hard to get used to at first. But the chairs were pretty comfortable, the place itself was clean and nicely decorated. read more

Don't go here. I paid for a 60 minute massage and within 15 minutes they were already giving me a hot towel on my back and asking me to turn over. Then when i said i paid for an hour they shoved a phone in my face that said 30 minutes. That's a rip off. what am i going to do, call the cops. So i left.. I get the sense this place has turned into one of those type of massage parlors. read more

I have been going to this place for years on a weekly basis. My favorite massuce Angie is gone. A few months ago I had Linda and she tried to end my massage 10 mins short. I told her my time is not up. She said it's only 5-10 mins. I told her i pay $30 and $10 tip every week i been coming here for years. She reported me to the owner and said she doesn't want to see me. Owner is rude. Is very money motivated, they are just nice because they want money. Owner asked the staff she didnt want me there anymore. I am glad I found a better place for the same price much cleaner, bigger with people much nicer. Ownership, Management and some staff suck. They dont have no sense of taking care of there customers or even communicating about anything. She has raised her price and I am sure it will go up more. read more

Okay place... not managed as well as other foot massage spots on union ave... went late afternoon on Sunday and it was not a pleasant experience. Will give them another chance, $40 for one hour foot and $60 body massage. read more

Rejoice Foot Spa - Suggested tip listed - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

Made an appt for 60 min foot massage. It was my fault I didn't realize they literally only do feet and legs - in the past they worked on your back and shoulders as well.. anyways more than once did the guy leave me for 3-5 mins to check In people.. also more than once did he nod off to sleep and quit massaging until he jerked awake .. I finally had to ask if he fell asleep. Of course he said no then proceeded to use all of his might for rest of the massage. Might have been an off day for him But pretty sure I won't be back - but he was very nice. read more

I won't be back! Scam! 1.) A 1 hour massage is really a 50 min massage! 2.) I had a card that is stamped after each massage. Once you get 10 stamps, you get $20 off your next massage. It's been a while since I was there but they said they couldn't honor the $20 off because the card was old. There was no expiration date. Seems unfair that I got 10 massages and when it was time to redeem my $20 credit they wouldn't! 3.) Rude. After my massage, I was putting my shoes on the lady walked back in and grabbed the money next to me, saying is this my tip? Took it and walked out. No one was in the lobby when I left. 4.) Rip off- If you use your credit card for 2 massages, you get a $4 charge. I'm not impressed at all and will not be back. read more

Wow this place is a joke!!!! I received a Groupon for a couples foot massage as a gift. They did not honor it because it was a print out? The gentleman at the front desk said it was scam. Do not give this place your business. Definitely do not buy the Groupon. read more

I've been to several of these foot spas in the South Bay and this is my favorite even though I've only been here twice. I like the curtains for added privacy and the service has been good. Today I noticed they had put up several signs suggesting a $10 tip per hour. Increasing tips is a common practice at foot spas. I've heard of other places verbally demanding a higher tip after the service and another place once lied to me they didn't have change for my bill. I don't appreciate the underhanded methods so I'm glad they're posting a notice. However, the cash I had on hand was for the $20 foot massage and a $5 tip. When I thanked my masseuse and handed her the $5 bill she grimaced and pointed to the suggested tip notice. I said "Oh, sorry.." and she angrily walked away. The notice says they're suggesting $10/hr tip in order to continue offering services at the lowest possible price but tips are for the employees, not the business. If the business is struggling I would much rather pay $25 and choose to tip $6 rather than feel like I'm being strong-armed out of a 50% gratuity. read more

Rejoice Foot Spa - Suggested tip is $10 per hour. This is posted on the front door, at the desk, and by the water where your masseuse will point it out to you. - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here to get a massage after a long days of work. I ordered a 30minute foot massage and a 60 minute regular massage. I was taken to the foot area massage and was asked to take my shirt off. (While there are other people in the same area. No privacy!) They put a used blanket on me that they use for every other customer (not sanitary). They then spent 45mins just doing random massages (nothing to do with my feet). Then they moved down to my feet and spent about 10mins there. Then they gave me a 20min back massage and I was done. Mind you I had my pants on all this time. I was getting a massage with my belt, pants and wallet still on me. I felt so uncomfortable. They got massage oil all over my pants. I've had many massages in the past and I've never experienced anything like this. Stay away from this place if you cherish your hard earned money. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Worst foot massage place by far, they actually forced me to tip them and the woman "Judy" was rude and said "do not come back", the man behind the counter said that in USA no one walks on back due to liabilities, which is a total lie. I do not recommend this place and am surprised how they are well rated, such a sorry state of affairs. read more

I had a massage yesterday, the lady was very rough and I woke up with this!!! I also have one in my lower back too. This was not relaxing at all. Do not recommend going here. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The man massaging me took a picture while the towel was over my eyes. He was stupid enough to have the ringer on his phone on so i was able to hear the "snap" go off, then throw his phone abruptly. I asked what he had taken a picture of and he quickly denied it and when i brought it to the women at the front desks attention her reaction made it seem like this has happened in the past. She apologized and said they will fix it next time but i assured her i will not be returning. It made me super uncomfortable/upset and i just ran out and didn't get the mans name. read more

Under new management. Same guy who ran "you lucky foot spa" that went under bought this. I went yesterday. All nee staff. Lady that gave me massage was HORRIBLE. They we're taking loud throughout the building. Totally not relaxing. In lobby when I mentioned nee management all shook their heads like it was not good! read more

I have been coming here for years but it now seems to be under different management with different staff. My friend and I had a terrible experience there yesterday. We booked 30-minute combo massages. My massage therapist kept leaving me and was gone half of the time attending to another client. She finished after 30 minutes and claimed she had given me 5 minutes extra for being gone some. (She provided around 18 minutes of massage time.) When she was there, she and the other therapist were chatting and laughing the whole time and providing a poor massage with zero relaxation.i tipped my provider thinking that I just won't return again but my friend refused to tip for a bad experience. We were chased into the parking lot with the woman yelling, "Hey, no tip? No tip? No tip?" I previously recommended this place to others and brought people here for relaxation. I would never recommend or go to this place again. read more

Rejoice Foot Spa has pretty decent prices for a 1 hour foot massage. You actually get a mini body massage with it as well. The girls definitely work hard for the money. Both ladies I came in contact with were friendly and never pushy about services. (or tip..I've been to some places where they make you pay a "mandatory" tip) Of course, they earned it, so they got it. I just don't like the feeling of being bullied into a corner. Anyhow, I digress. The facility is clean, calming, and I was quite surprised at how quiet it seemed for the location and the hustling and bustling area. They have "rooms" sectioned off but no real walls so you can pretty much hear everything. However, if you aren't here for any funny business then you should be fine. The massage itself felt good. Their techniques were better than average. You can tell that they knew more acupressure theory than others I have been to who just seem to 'wing it'. I'd definitely come back and check them out again as, the location is close, they were friendly, and the massage was relaxing. Just beware how you sit when the girls flip you over to do your back massage. I guess I placed my head in a weird position and when I got up to leave, I noticed a strange indentation line across my forehead. LOL Good thing I wasn't planning to go anywhere afterwards. Doh! But hey, don't let my Homer Simpson moment scare you, this place is legit. Try it out. read more

Rejoice Foot Spa - Massage Near Me - San Jose, California

received a 40 minute foot massage as a gift from my daughter. I'd never been to this spa before. Wow!! My massage was heavenly! Mary was my masseuse, and she was amazing. I love a firm touch, and she definitely has it! Such strong hands, but not too much- just right. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I called to change my appointment time by 1/2 hour; no problem. David was the friendly gentleman who handled my scheduling. I loved the heat packs that Mary put behind my back, and the riser for the basket of water so my short legs didn't dangle painfully. She also tilted up the bed to ease pressure on my back. Overall a wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning again! read more

In A Nutshell: -Rejoice is the wrong name for this foot massage business. -Had the worst foot massage ever & ended up cutting it short midway. -First off, the water to soak your feet was luke warm at best. -Second, the bad breath was horrible, please wear a mask or gargle some mouthwash. -Third, you know if a massage will be good if they put good pressure on your face. -Not only was there a lack of pressure, but the cold ass oil was just smothered on. -By this point, I tried to give them a chance when they got to my feet. -My instincts confirmed. -The foot massage lasted about 5 minutes & the lady, thinking I was asleep was using some sort of plastic prodding device to press my heels & scrap the inner part of my feet. -I finally said, please stop & removed the towel from my eyes & saw her quickly (not so quick, since I saw) try to hide the prodding device. Overall, I got up after about 30 minutes & the "owner" said she was a professional & would continue. No thanks, ever again & this is your fair warning to avoid this place! read more

I have been going here since they opened. The spa is amazing. I actually prefer this to the one in Santana Row. The hot stone back massage is the best I have ever received. The atmosphere is great. This place isnt like your typical asian $20 massage place. Imagine going to a nice hotel spa. The treatment is similar, everything is very clean, and the atmosphere is great. Well worth the money. Also, the negative reviews reflect the fact that you need to have some patience when communicating with non english speakers. The owner speaks perfect English, but sometimes when she isn't there could cause confusion. read more

I love this place! Request Amanda or Judy we love them! It's always clean and I love the privacy curtains. Def a hidden little gem! Haha

Rarely do I ever bad review this was the worst massage of my life politely did not ask for my money back but I will never be back here again I Can guarantee she's not a license therapist read more

Made a reservation, showed up, and were told they were too busy and got turned around. I've been here quite a few times before and it's been good 50% of the time. I kept going back because the low prices were a good trade off for the inconsistent quality - I didn't mind the gamble, and it was understandable. But making a reservation the day before, calling them an hour ahead of time to confirm, then showing up and being told that they are too busy? Inexcusable. Save yourselves the time and find somewhere else. read more

Awesome service, the new girl LINA did a great job with my back. my muscles were so tight and intense but now I feel so relax and loosen. Definitely gonna go back read more

I have been to many foot spas. My friend recommended this one, so we met there. When I arrived, the woman was making my friend pay IN ADVANCE, which I never do, but my friend was, so I did. I asked the lady who rang me up to give me change for a twenty, and she gave me to $10 bills. I asked her to break it further, but I was a bit annoyed by this. The massage was fine, not the best I have had, but not the worst. At the end, I gave my lady a tip in cash, but she and her colleague showed us a tip schedule on the wall and they both wanted more of a tip. They began to argue with us that they were due more tip. I was very annoyed by this, and I told them that I was not BOUND to pay them a tip. It was very uncomfortable, and I would much rather go to a spa with a licensed therapist and give them a tip than go to this place again. read more

Very unprofessional. The person giving me a massage demanded more money for tip. I should report this place.

It's in my hood and the prices are good. It's hit or miss at its best. You pay first and roll the dice on a masseuse. I work out hard and when I pay for a professional massage I expect that, especially when I request a deep tissue. Again, it's hit or miss at its finest. I've tried several times and it has always been a Miss. I guess it is a case of you get what you pay for. Sigh read more

I specifically asked for a girl and they acted like they agreed, but when I was already on the bed a man came in and played it out like he didn't understood English. He started good with the massage bit when he got close to my privates he did put his hands under my panties and groped me and grabbed my buttocks really hard. I immediately tensed up and I told him DO NOT GO NEAR THOSE AREAS- I kept pointing at them - he kept repeating "good massage yes?" "Good massage yes" - I kept getting more uncomfortable by the minute and I just told him to stop at the 30 minute when I had paid for 60 minutes. I still complained to the front desk lady and even though he kept asking for a tip I didn't and argued with the lady until she refunded the 30 minutes I did not get because I was being sexually harassed by whom I happened to believe he is a NOT licensed therapist and I bet anything that 99.9% of them aren't licensed either. I have read the reviews and most of them are negative, has anyone reported this place to the BBB? read more

I didn't want to review this place because I don't ever want this place to become busy. However, Yelp keeps bugging me to leave a review so here it is... Be sure to make appointment before you go. This place can be really busy especially on weekend. If you have a go to person (like I do), be sure to book ahead of time. Foot massage is $19.99, and recommended tips is $5.00 and above. If you want to opt for more massages options, please check them at the front desk. Bars located two doors down can be very loud and annoying. I think it's called "Stevie's Bar and Grill" which opens daily until 2AM. I am not sure what goes on, but try avoiding time/day when this bar is active. They can get pretty loud especially on Friday night and Saturday night. read more

Happened upon this spot and discovered an excellent massage by Ivan and RIlla even though it was the end of the night! Amazing good! Thorough job not distracted o! Definitely coming back!! Well, we came back expecting another fantastic massage and this time I was disappointed. We had two men, not Ivan, tend to us and it was less than sufficient. A whole body massage only became a back squashing with a small stint of hot rocks. My calves were completely ignored and though he was able to feel all my tight muscles didn't care to work on any of them specifically. He was just applying oil on my back squishing my torso into the bed.. ended up with a headache later on in the night because of the constant pushing. Shoulda stopped hoped it would get better. This was an example of being present but not committed, getting a participation trophy but with no skill or intent to serve. Gotta be consistent or work will drop off. read more
