Nice easy walk in spot. Definitely not a massage since you're completely clothed and covered with a blanket but overall a nice relaxing experience. Good prices and a fun random thing to do when you're already out and about. read more

We walked in and got an appointment for 45 minutes later. Everything is done on a computer screen with reception. We went back for a great hour long massage combo (body & feet) for $55. They do not speak much English but clean and open facilities, right on State Street. Free public parking structure within a couple blocks. read more

40 min foot reflexology/massage was heaven sent! Clean, quiet, not a long wait, amazing service. This place was near our hotel we stayed at and I could have gone every day. It was that good. I also appreciate that they asked what level of intensity/pressure I wanted. That was a nice touch. Will definitely be back! read more

Relaxing Station - Massage Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My new spot! My friend and I LOVED it so we went twice on two consecutive days. If we were staying closer, we would have gone twice in one day! Masseuses know where to put their energy and they get deep into the work. They work hard and your body feels it. I felt energized and lighter after my massages. It's a clean and calm spot with the right people doing the job. read more

Located in the middle of state street. Excellent results with few words spoken. I had to cut short a hike due to call pull and went straight to relax station I have had shoulders/neck and foot flexology treatment and felt great for days after. read more

I had the combo, body & foot massage. It was wonderful. It is clean and the staff is great!! Very relaxing. read more

This place was unexpectedly good. It's a big place with a lot of beds and chairs. The staff is very professional and they have timers on their computers and you get whoever is available at the time. My husband and I came in here at the last minute for an impromptu massage and the prices were unbeatable. They take credit card and it's only $49 for a body massage for 60 minutes. You leave your clothes on and the massage is deep tissue and acupressure. It took out my knots and relaxed me for the rest of my vacation at Santa Barbara. . What a nice treat. Highly recommended if you are not fussy about being a public space for a casual quick massage. It's like getting a massage on the beach. read more

Love this place. The massages are great. I always get a full body massage for 60 minutes. I go often and Tip them well because it is so affordable. It's better than most massage places because you remain fully dressed, and they wear gloves so there is no skin to skin contact. I only wish they had appointments! read more

This place was great, the man that helped me did a wonderful job on my massage. I decided only my feet since I couldn't understand what the chair option was, nevertheless this place will be a go to for me! 10 out of 10 hands down. The atmosphere was quiet and the music was nice and relaxing. read more

Pros- Reservations probably not needed, lots of availability Great location downtown Cheap Foot massages are probably the way to go Cons- For back massages- no finesse or thoughtfulness, very rough and didn't try at all to get knots out No female therapists? Mostly male The upright chairs for back massages are not comfortable Not sure about cleanliness During a trip to Santa Barbara my husband and I both got massages- just a foot massage once for me which was pretty good, and then another time we both got back massages which were not good at all. Rough and careless, no attention to knots or particular areas even when asked to, not pleasant or therapeutic at all. Would not return read more

They get you started right away and for the price you couldn't ask for anything better it's perfect!

Great place for a last minute massage. Really got into all of my knots and painpoints.

Wowzers. Best $25 I've spent in a while. Got a 20 min chair massage and it was amazing. Great pressure, really got deep into the muscles without it being painful or uncomfortable. Hoping to go back for a full body 60 min massage. This isn't a spa experience, and communication can be a difficult, but for the price and quality of the massage 100% better than any high end spa massage I have had. read more

I come to this massage place every time I come to Santa Barbara. They provide real Chinese massage with a very reasonable price. I had an hour full body massage with Tony today. He gave the perfect pressure on my sore spots over my shoulders and lower back. It helped me a lot with the pain. He really knows how to provide a great massage. Tony今天给我做的按摩真的是太好了。我经常做按摩，需要有经验的按摩师能够准确按到痛点上，一般我需要比较大的力道。Tony完全满足了我的要求，使我肩颈和腰部的酸痛都得到了缓解。非常感谢他。我每次来Santa Barbara 都来这里按摩，性价比很好。 read more

This is my wonderful place to taking care of myself after working long days. Feels so good after all. My pain is gone and I can sleep well again. I totally recommend everyone. Other massage just relaxing but not helping of your body aches but this one. read more

Planned a short day trip to Santa Barbara for my sister's birthday and found this gem of a place! They take only walk-ins and price is very reasonable. My mom, sister, and I did the combo 30 minute body and 30 minute reflexology and it was incredible. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional as well. Happy and satisfied we decided to stop by here, and hope to be back! read more

I have gotten many massages in my life and this was my first one that was walk in/fully clothed. I had low expectations due to the nature of the studio, but it was one of the best massages I have ever had and easily half the price of a traditional massage. So good that I went back the next day for another! I would recommend stopping by when you have time shopping on State, but don't plan a day around it. They get busy at times and we had a 90 minute wait one time (which was fine because we had time to grab drinks next door!). read more

Amazing massage and great prices! Even better that we were able to just walk in and be seen right away. Really highly recommend this place, especially loved the foot massage and will be back anytime i'm in the area! Really wonderful, kind masseuses! read more

Great service. I was comfortable and fell asleep. Regarding the tip I always give a good tip for good service

I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area - the massages are great and the prices are unbeatable. My Mom and I went here for quick 1-hour massages and we came out very relaxed after a day of walking and shopping around Downtown Santa Barbara. It is unlike other reflexology places in that: 1) You get a semi private space where you can't see other people nearby (you are still fully clothed though). Imagine a massage bed in a stall of its own - that's the space you get; 2) You are laying flat the whole time, on both your front and your back, but trust that they still get all of the areas and pressure points they need to, and the massage style is still the same - deep tissue and as much or as little pressure as you need. They do a great job of checking in with you throughout the massage to ensure they are getting everything you need. If you can, I recommend requesting a 2-hour session if you can. That was my only regret - not getting a longer session, haha. We were able to walk in and get situated with people right away, but I suggest calling in ahead of time to make sure someone will be free when you arrive. They seemed to get pretty busy after we showed up. Enjoy! read more

So I've been saying I want to go to a chiropractor or get some kind of massage recently bc man has my back been aching. I looked at this other place (LRFS), but they all seemed to have mediocre reviews and Relaxing Station seemed to have more positive than negative reviews so my mom and I went here on a whim. She got the foot massage while I got the combo (body and foot). They had this paper where u circle what u want and it had intensity levels from 1-6. Since it was my first time I didn't circle anything for intensity level, but my guy came up to me and circled 4-5 for me. So I was like alright here we go! I was ready. It was pretty painful I won't deny. He stretched and pulled me out- pretty sure he shoved my organs around and also my bones DID crack too lol. It hurt but there was pleasure in the pain! My body felt SO rejuvenated and my mom felt the same about her feet. She had the 40 minute massage which she thought beforehand would be too long, but after she said she could sit there all day. We're definitely going back and hopefully next time will be just as awesome. Honestly these people worked super hard and even worked up a sweat trying so hard to push the muscles...we tipped them well. They don't speak much English but their efforts were so good. I wore my mask and kept it on face down and the employees did so too. It was a pleasant environment. read more

Update - we went yesterday for a foot massage (me) and a body massage (my husband). Exceptionally good massages on both accounts. My foot massage was phenomenal and just what I needed after recently upping my weekly running mileage. My husband raved about how much better his back and shoulders felt as well. The masseuses work hard and don't do any weird fluffy or annoying stuff like toe-flicking or overly repetitive strokes. The foot massage chairs are extremely comfortable; they give complimentary bottles of water as well. Yeah, it's not a upscale or remotely fancy place, but for the price and quality (at least at this visit; my first was so-so) it is outstanding. Language barriers might be a little bit of an issue, but they seem like seasoned-enough masseuses that they can still easily find areas of tension and therapeutic pressure points. read more

Had 2 massages here taking advantage of the $39 hourly rate. Experience with Jack = Very good 4.5 Stars. With Lily = lousy! 0 Stars. This is a basic "open air" massage shop with limited privacy and atmosphere. But the price, at $39 per hour will have you coming often for the right massage. Jack was the right massage. Jack hit all my "spots" and really worked my legs after I told him about my sore calves and thighs. Left him a $20 tip for one hour massage as he was excellent and made good communication efforts despite limited English. Lilly, whose English was "better" didn't really massage but rather "beat" me, despite my telling her not to. She also tried to overcharge me by about $20 for my 90 minute massage. She apparently doesn't know how to "work" muscles and trigger points. Too bad as Jack was great, but Lilly just rude and a bit abusive. read more

Elbows. Think elbows digging sharply and painfully into every area where you don't want them. Over and over again. This was the absolute worst massage I've ever had. It's not a massage, it's torture. read more

I'm giving my massage therapist a 5 star , when getting a massage and some giving a massage you knock , that's is a great massage thank you , sound level from 1 to 10 I give them a 8 for the location / but when you check please keep you conversation outside not inside please. People come in here to relax, not your here you mambo jumbo lol read more

Relaxing Station - Massage Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

On our babymoon and needed a massage, place was clean and they were very kind to me. The cost is such a steal, you can't beat it! I highly recommend this place. read more

Yes yes yes, just do it. Such a cool little hole in the wall, those are always the best spots. Nice, clean, simple, amazing!

Lii does a great job and gives a very deep tissue massage. I asked for a 5/6 for pressure and it was more than enough. The music is relaxing even during night and you can't hear the local places nearby. Definitely recommend and for $49 for a one hour massage, can't beat it. read more

My go to for a massage during the week when I need to give my body some love from standing all day and walking a lot and exercising. Always a delight. read more

Really convenient and definitely worth the price. I don't know why there are negative comments about tipping 20% or more. It is common practice to tip more than 20% in the service industry if the service was good. I got a 30 minute foot massage and a 30 minute chair massage for only $49 plus a very good tip ($25) and I still consider that a bargain. Regarding the street noise on a Thurs/Fri/Sat evening after 5 pm, just request a chair (massage station) that is not in the front area near the entrance. I was in the middle area and it was wonderfully quiet. read more

Nothing more to say than great massage and very affordable price. Relaxation Station is it!

I always leave happy Walking out after a massage i felt like I was walking on air! Felt I just confessed to a priest or something lol highly recommend, best prices read more

This place is legit. We walked in and the lady was super nice. She showed us the packed that were avail: full body, foot massage and one other. My boyfriend opted for the full body for 30 mins for $25. My boyfriend even fell asleep during the massage, that's how good it was. And the lady cracked every bone. We will totally be back next time we're in Downtown SB! read more

Told us to wait 10 minutes & then continued to help every other customer that walked in after us. When we went up to ask about our turn, they said we had to wait another 30 minutes for everyone else to be finished. Terrible service. Would not recommend. read more

Wow! I can't believe I have never been here for massage! I was so relaxed and asked for deep tissue with neck & shoulders and he did an amazing massage. Then next was my foot massage! Wow ! I was in heaven felt so awesome and I will be back as I love to support our local merchants ! Give yourself a treat for the new year and you will be happy for the rest of the year :) read more

Great spot for an inexpensive massage! Everything is out in the open so it doesn't feel sketchy at all. I would give it 5 stars for the ease of access (walk ins only) and affordability (all $36 and under) however I dock one star bc it is pretty inconsistent as far as how the massage goes. I almost always circle a 4 for intensity and sometimes it is super light and other times I walk away feeling like I'm going to be black and blue the next day, ha! I'd recommend going for a lower number than you think you want and then asking for more instead of being in pain and needing to say ouch less less haha! Overall I clearly keep coming back and really love this place, the inconsistency just points to the fact that you get what you pay for here. If you're looking for a super expert masseuse it's probably not here but if you're looking a good long massage that won't break the bank you've found your place. read more

I'm not from the area so I wasn't sure what I would get. The Yelp reviews did not lie. Ask for Lilly, She was phenomenal. When I'm back in the area, I'm coming back. read more

I used to love this place but now they shake you down for bigger tips if they don't like your 15% tip. Last time there I got a 40 min massage and they wouldn't give me change for the $50 bill I gave them. Raise prices rather than extort your clients. read more

Good massage for the price but I agree with the rudeness about the tip with other reviews. They need to up the price if they are going to demand a 20 plus % tip. The lady was so rude to me for my 18% tip it was offensive. A tip should be appreciated instead I was shamed for a very mediocre massage with loud noise blaring from next door. She literally forces you to pay pretending to not speak English. read more
