If I can give this place more stars, I would…read more My friend and I came here after our second day of visiting the UK. We were absolutely exhausted from traveling and sightseeing all day, so we decided to find a place to get a nice massage. As soon as we got there, we were shortly greeted by a warm, welcoming lady. She was very sweet & made us feel right at home. She told us she was fully booked until 5:30 and it was about 3 at the time so we had a lot of time to kill. We asked if it was ok to stay inside. The lady really went above and beyond and offered to let us rest on the couch in her back room. She even gave me a charger to charge my phone! I was so touched by her hospitality. Eventually it was time for my massage. Another younger lady came into the back room and was surprised by our presence there lol. She asked us who we were and I told her I had a massage. She was so friendly and nice and she took me into one of the rooms to commence the massage. She was so attentive and always kept making sure if the pressure was okay (it was pretty hard and to be honest I struggled at times). She even answered a bunch of questions I had to help me better understand my body and my needs! After my massage, it was my friend's turn. I felt so relaxed that I went back to the couch to take a nap. I laid down and dosed off, only to be woken up again by the same lady who greeted us, as I saw her cover me with a blanket. It was so sweet and it reminded me of my mom back home. It was the best decision ever to stop by this place. I am so glad that I discovered this massage parlor and these amazing people. And despite the intensity of my deep tissue massage, I felt completely refreshed and ready to complete another walkathon. I highly recommend everyone to check this place out. Even though we only have about 2-3 more days left in London, we are definitely considering going back into this area just to revisit! Looking forward to crossing paths with these amazing, kind-hearted people again!

We saw that this place had pretty good ratings and that you can schedule an appointment via text…read moremessage or phone call on WhatsApp. So we decided to try this place and texting them an appointment request took just 2-3 messages. We arrived there and were greeted by our massage therapists. They were very nice. However it seems like the massage can be hit or miss. While I liked my massage, my partner thought his was just okay. My massage could have been better because my therapist had to take a couple of phone calls from a client who was on his way and needed to know about parking. Although she apologized for talking on her phone, texting, and even going out of the room for a bit and also stayed a little over to finish my massage in the hour, it was still kind of annoying. Overall a solid place though and one of the best prices in town. The massage place is downstairs in the same building as a hair salon, which is what you will see first upon entering.

Ok don't let the old reviews deter you from checking this place out! Initially, we were quite…read moreworried due to low ratings on Yelp but these were super old and we also checked the reviews on Google, which were more recent and better. Since it was super close to where we were staying, we decided to give it a shot and we were so glad we did!!! The first time we came here, we got a 60mins couples massage. It was so great that we came back another day and got 90mins! 90mins was perfect. Both times, my masseuse was Nan, and she was amazing! She really pinpointed all the knots on my shoulders and neck and her pressure was on point. My husband got Justyna and Pammy and they were both great as well. It was quite shocking that he enjoyed both masseuses cause no two masseuses are ever the same. So he believes that they might've gone through the same systematic training to ensure consistency and quality. Overall, our two massages were amazing so I definitely recommend checking it out if you're ever in London!

Relax is really handily located in the middle of Covent Garden. It offers chair massages, which are good if you only have a few minutes (or a few £), but the upstairs area is where they do the full-on stuff. It's big, open, modern and inviting. The massage rooms are dark, quiet and - well - relaxing. My boyfriend and I booked in to get sports massages at the same time, and they ended up putting us in the couples massage room. I thought couples massages were for fancy-pants aromatherapy relaxation sessions, not elbow-in-your-butt-crying-in-pain-but-the-good-kind sessions. It was amazing. We're going back next week.

I flew into London from LA on a red eye and went right to work. 3 days later I was cramped up, my…read moreshoulders felt like rocks and my feet were killing me. Then I found 4ForYou on YELP and decided to give them a call. Their site looked totally legit and I was a little sketchy about being able to book an appt at 9pm on a Friday, but hey- they were willing to take me at 9pm on a Friday- Score! Anna who booked the appointment with me was sincere, helpful and friendly and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I had a bit of trouble finding the place, because I didnt realize they were in the basement of the salon "Hair+" next to the Domino's Pizza on Foley Street. "38" was not marked on the building. Luckily, Anna was right there on the phone to help guide me to the door and even though the salon was closed, my massage therapist, Evelina was there at the door to greet me. As other YELPers have mentioned, this is not a "spa-like" ambiance, with lots of white cottons, fluffy pillows, flowers or meditative statues looking at you ponderously. This is the basement of a hair salon. And a small basement at that. There was a toilet they let me use before I went into the room- which looked like it belonged in a tight studio flat. But it served its purpose. Then I went into the room. It was lit with candles, it smelled of eucalyptus oil and lavender and there was a full massage table. Evelina offered me a glass of water to begin and then stepped out so I could undress. When she came back in, she gave me one of the best deep tissue massages I have ever had. She was incredibly deft with her elbows and kept the pressure firm in all the spots that needed breaking up. I felt itchy as all the blood began coming back into my muscles. I was in total stretch out, deep breathing, 'let's-do-this-together" mode, as she broke down the tissue and left me in a heaping pile. The cost was 50 GBP for 60 mins. I personally felt so relieved that I tipped her 10 GBP. She deserved that and more. Overall- the reason I didnt give 5 stars were due to the minor negatives about this place- specifically the lack of Spa-like touches. Example- the table was not quite padded and there were no blankets to lay on, only the paper-type towels the doctor pulls over his examining table. I was provided a towel, after I got naked to cover up with. It covered me fine, but didn't make me feel total cozy, the way I would've under a blanket. I had to ask half way through for a washcloth or towel to go under my forehead, since the pressure was so strong, my head started to hurt against the table. Then when it was all over, I really looked around the room and noticed it was kind of dirty, with oil on the wall and a closet door off its rollers. Nothing that would cause me concern- but not buttoned up the way a day spa would be normally. But that's probably what helps keep the cost down. Honestly- I am still feeling the massage days later. Deep tissue is not the type of thing I go for on a weekly basis- but if I get tight like that again or am here for longer, I will definitely call Anna and ask for Evelina. These ladies are lovely.

Right, so I'll admit that the name of this venue sounds slightly dodgy. Especially since they're…read moreadvertising a "four hand" massage. So, I went into my experience with a little bit of trepidation and some faith in the stellar reviews that 4ForYou had received on tripadvisor. However, the experience itself was actually really great! First off, the service is great -- booking an appointment was a breeze, and the receptionist even remembered my name when I called back to change the time of my appointment (I suspect that this is because the number that you call is a mobile number). Secondly, they've got a great venue that's pretty zen in its atmosphere and fairly centrally located -- but they can also do massages for you at your home. And finally, the massage was awesome -- great pressure, great technique, and an all-around relaxing experience. She really took her time, which I appreciated, since a few of the other places I've been to in London shove me out the door 45 minutes in, despite my having paid for a full hour! And it's inexpensive, too. Only £50 for an hour of deep tissue/swedish massage!

The facial with products includes eminence products which all smelled and felt incredible. They also specialize in Japanese Cosmo Lifting Massages and Noriko integrated some of that into my facial, which was great and something new for me. The facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I'll definitely make this my spot whenever I'm in London!

I was dreaming of some relief and started to do a quick search on Yelp for somewhere quite near my office. Nothing too laborious as my day was packed...so just a quick tune-up via chair massage was in order. Chi Yu to the rescue! Lovely staff and very welcoming. From making the appointment, to arrival, and situation all the way to checkout and bidding them adieu, everyone was so very nice. Somewhat sad that this is not a given, but in London it certainly isn't! This makes Chi Yu stand out. I made an appointment for same day with Rie, who was great. I was escorted downstairs to the treatment area, and given 30 minutes of chair massage. Brilliant, just what I wanted. She was very communicative and definitely helped ease the tension. I probably need one every day for a month to really work it out, but this really helped. I took a menu and will definitely be back. Really like the vibe of this place, the atmosphere (also SUPER clean), and the service offerings. Facials, beauty + Wellness massage, reflexology, Thai massage, etc. £15 (plus a bit extra for Rie) --- well worth it.
