I'm so excited to share this review! I tried a Thai massage for the first time! Wow, what an…read moreexperience. I did what they call the Thai Combo and added the CBD oil. I was a bit nervous but I was determined to do it. The thought of someone walking on your back is intimidating. However, it didn't feel as weighty as I'd expected. I'm sure it helped that my tech was petite. This feels like a much more therapeutic experience than a traditional massage. By the time you're done, your muscles have been thoroughly stretched. It wasn't as relaxing as a traditional massage but I felt the benefits of it a lot more. It was also very intuitive. I highly recommend coming here. Everyone was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. I loved the Thai music they played. Also, the space is very clean. It's just a 15 minute walk down The Promenade from the Hyatt Regency here in Long Beach.

If that's not a concern, it's definitely worth check. Wendy has amazing hands. Could be the best hands in the universe! Will be back like every 2 months.

I want to give sincere credit to The NOW Massage in Long Beach for how they handled a difficult…read moresituation and made us feel valued as long-time members. My girlfriend and I have been members of The NOW for years! long enough that our current membership rate is no longer even available. We genuinely enjoy the brand and have continued supporting it because the experience has usually been consistent and worthwhile. Recently, we had an issue with another NOW location after a massage appointment was cancelled during a stressful emergency involving a chemical spill and mandatory evacuation orders near our home. Even though we cancelled through the app within the required timeframe, that location still removed our credits. After the situation was escalated, the Long Beach team stepped in and handled it with professionalism and care. A team member Brianna contacted us, apologized, listened to what happened, and let us know they would take care of us. That response meant a lot. She let us know that the GM/Owner Jaime knows who we are as long time members. What I appreciated most was that Long Beach did not make us feel like we were just another transaction or hide behind policy. They treated us like loyal members, acknowledged the situation, and worked to make it right. Customer service matters most when something goes wrong, and the Long Beach location showed exactly why we have stayed members for so long. We truly appreciate their follow-up, accountability, and willingness to take care of us. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I wish I can say I love this place since its not far from my work…read more I've had a lot of massages in my life and hadn't had one in a while. I was in need of one and have been looking for a spot near my work. I booked The Now online for a 50 min massage with an added $20 deep tissue option. Booking was easy and I did like that you can pay in advance online. You can select if you prefer a male or female masseuse and which type of massage you want and the duration. Upon arriving I was given some cucumber water while waiting. My masseuse met with me before to talk about where to focus and preference. I told him I wanted it hard and to focus only on upper back, neck and shoulders. My massage started off pretty soft and I had to ask him twice to go harder. He also didn't really get in there and it definitely was not deep tissue. It was relaxing but my home massager probably does a better job honestly. I've also had much better massages for half the price elsewhere. The massage "rooms" are divided up by fabric. They're still pretty private but you need to stay quiet with your masseuse. The staff is really nice and my masseuse was nice as well. I just wish he hit the spots I needed. After the massage I was given more water and checking out was easy since I had already paid. I just tipped. Parking can be found in the lot. It's 2 hours complementary. The Now is located on the first floor in 2nd & PCH and is directly across from Boba Guys.

I caught myself snoring several times. I'm on my feet for work long days so this is exactly what the Dr. ordered. My grandma always told me to take care of my feet and they'll take care of you. We both felt so relaxed when we left and my feet felt like a million bucks! I would definitely recommend this place! Don't let the outside fool ya!

Very inexpensive and very relaxing!…read more I took myself here as a solo date and at first I was a little nervous, only because I have not gotten a massage in yearssss. As soon as they started fo massage me I was able to relax. they were very professional and very thorough! I paid for the deep tissue massage, and when I tell you i was relaxed the rest of the weekend for my son's birthday party - i felt amazing!! please do yourself a favor and go relax. They offer all sorts of massage options for all prices and there is a lot of parking too. I didn't make an appointment but was seen right away.

I had pretty much sworn off massage for years because of too many disappointing experiences and…read moreinconsistent service. Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding. The work is consistently skilled, intentional, and truly therapeutic. This isn't a "fluffy" massage that leaves you wondering what you paid for; it's thoughtful bodywork that actually helps. I've referred so many people to Firm Hands at this point that I honestly can't help myself--I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Whether you're looking for real therapeutic support or intentional self-care, this place delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend.

Jonathan CURED my cervical radiculopathy with sport massage. I was in severe pain for months (and…read moremild pain for years), was on nerve medication, going to physical therapy and getting acupuncture. NOTHING gave me relief like the massage I received at Firm Hands. He is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do. Sport massages are not the most relaxing (it's very deep tissue!) but the relief from tension and pain is invaluable. I tell everyone that this is what cured me. Now I'm trying to convince my fiancé who hates massages to go.

Nice little massage joint in Long Beach. Been comin here for 10+ years now and have had consistent…read moreservice across the board. Always know what I'm going to get for my money. Also appreciate how the prices remain constant over the years (think they've only gone up $10 or so for a full body in last 10 years). I typically get the full body 60 minute massage and it never disappoints. Always leave feeling refreshed and happy with the money well spent. Make sure to request a female and if you are going with your spouse/partner, request separate rooms as the combined room can get a little cramped for my liking. The guy that runs the joint is pretty consistent too, always literally saying the same exact sentences whenever we call to book the appt, arrive at the appt, or approach the massage room (my wife and I love when he says "everything, take off". lol). I think it's pretty standard at these types of massage joints, but expect to tip at minimum $20 for a 60 min massage, otherwise they will give you the death eye and you'll be super uncomfortable, so to not get that feeling right after a long, distressful and relaxing massage, just be prepared to fork up the extra $10 in advance before paying and it will be all good vibez. In the end, you're paying $70 for an hour long full body massage with hot stones & oil, which is still a killer deal. And the masseuses do such a great job every single time I've gone, I don't think I've had a bad experience yet (except when my wife got the main dude at the front as her masseuse she didn't really dig that, one because he was a male, two because his keys jingle-jangle the entire 60 minutes, and three he still plays the front desk role and will answer both calls and people entering mid massage, which is such lame and also super weird. Anyway, like I said, request a female and you won't have to deal with any of that!). Whelp yelp, feel like I gave all future customers the skinny on the joint and how to have the best massage possible with little to no issues. So take it or leave it, I think this place deserves 5 stars in my book.

We came here on a weekend afternoon. The prices were very good, about $50 for an hour massage or…read more$30 for a half-hour massage. The 3 of us opted for a half-hour massage and the tip guideline posted was between $5-$15 for a half-hour massage, which was reasonable. The therapists were knowledgeable -- they used hot stones and pressure points and also some deep tissue techniques. However, my sister said she pointed to her elbow to get massages and the therapist didn't seem to understand that. Overall everyone enjoyed their massages and we thought it was a professional and clean environment. The rooms are divided by curtains. I would recommend this place and would come back next time I'm in town. They charge $2 to use a credit card and you can tip on the card as well, just hope that the tip goes to staff (i thought it was a little odd that the staff didn't walk us out so it wouldn't have been a little tough to tip them).

Nothing but the best--Ayanna is an incredible massage therapist and intuitive healer with a natural…read moreability to pinpoint tension, intuit appropriate pressure, and provide truly therapeutic relief to troublesome areas within the body. Stubborn knots in my back opened up with firm pressure, consistency--all following her profound knowledge of healing and the body. Ayanna's deep embodied knowledge and wisdom flows from her clear alignment with source and the healing modalities that she is naturally drawn to. Ayanna KNOWS what to do, so you don't have to explain much. I've never had a massage therapist who truly knew how to best open muscle knots and release tension in my upper back and neck. Without a doubt, Ayanna provided the best deep tissue massage I've ever had and I've already booked another session for next week! I highly recommend Ayanna to anyone seeking her highly therapeutic massage and healing services. If you are on the fence about switching massage therapists, or taking a chance with a therapist you don't know, let me say, without exaggeration, Ayanna is a blessing to the community and whoever is fortunate enough to receive her care and energy and you should definitely go for a session. Thank you, Ayanna!

Intro: Aloha everybody!!! This is your favorite Muay Thai /…read moreMMA fighter @mauiboyfitness jumping on to give Mrs. Ayanna (5) Shakas! I have been training the last 10-12 years nonstop and have undergone many injuries, along with extreme tension and tightness in my body from combat sports. Prior Experience with Bodywork: I have met many physical therapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors, but this is the first time I have left a session knowing my body actually feels better and that the person truly cared about my pain and health. Skill, Technique, and Awareness: Mrs. Ayanna did not miss one beat and there were NO wasted movements. Minute by minute, she analyzed my body, and without me needing to say a word, she found the spots that were extremely painful and tight. She took her time working those areas before moving on to the next issue. Usually, I have to tell the therapist what needs to be worked on, but I'm guessing she could just feel what was wrong and carefully applied pressure where it was needed with the utmost precision Ambience & Environment: The ambience and beauty of the facility were amazing. I have trained at many places, and this was hands down one of the best-looking locations I have seen in a while. The tone of peace was set, and the music was chosen for relaxation. I explained my problems and Mrs. Ayanna went straight to work Care & Thoughtfulness: I am so happy to know that I now have somebody who can help me work through my pain and tightness from years of abuse from MMA Mrs. Ayanna even provided me with a sample of the herbs she used to help me with my breathing and pain, which you don't often see someone offer. I thought that was really thoughtful Future Plans: I have a fight on February 7th for LIGHTS OUT FC in Long Beach, CA 90802, so I will definitely be back before then to work more on my tight hips and other pains I am experiencing. Closing & Recommendation: Mahalo Mrs. Ayanna for such an amazing experience. I can feel the love you put into your craft and the MANA (spiritual power ) in your hands If you are on the fence about finding someone to heal and help fix your aches and pains, look no further. Go book that appointment and say Namahoy sent you
