A new foot massage lounge... how could I resist?? (Especially with the 2 for 1 special going on!) Having just opened earlier in the week. I popped by to check it out. It definitely has a very spa like feel to it. When you walk in, you enter in to a Zen-like atmosphere, filled with tranquility and serenity. The lights are dim and music plays softly in the background. I ended up having my foot massage in a private room equipped with a TV! However, there's also an lounge lined with chairs if you prefer to get your massage in an open space. The massage itself felt great and I found myself slowly dozing off in the end. They also offer acupressure massages as well. The cost is pretty average - not too pricey, but a little bit more than Golden Feet. A 50 minute foot massage is $40. (I guess the difference in price is made up by the awesome spa environment!) I would recommend giving it a try - if you enjoy foot massages and a relaxing and elegant spa-like space, this is a great place to get the best of both words. read more

See all

Would not recommend this place. It's more like a clinic. Not spa like at all. I had the 50min foot reflexology. Started with a warm foot soak. Nothing special. The foot massage was only so so. I asked for moderate pressure for calf area. The masseuse push hard on the sole of the feet to the point that hurts where as the calf area he used gentle pressure. I repeated my request 3 times he ignored me. I showed them the Yelp check in 10% discount. They said they are not participating with Yelp. ‍ read more

I love how calming this spa is i went here a while back so I don know how there doing now, but when I went It was very nice, This place is underrated, but those are there opinions so I wont judge. The employees were very nice to me and at the start they even offered me tea! after I sat down it was nice and thats all I have to say thank you. read more

Before pandemic I would come here every month as a wellness treat for my mental health. I started up again and my feet feel SO good after one session. I am a runner and am often on my feet for work so they tend to hold tension and cramps. Heading back to Sole Spa was so great- they were so welcoming and warm and although it hurt a bit to get my cramps massaged out, my feet feel SO relaxed now. If you're needing a relaxing treat for your mind and body, I highly welcome this place! They are kind, attentive, and skilled. The environment is soothing and calming too. Enjoy! read more

This place is terrible...like the other reviews are NOT LYING. I decided to take the chance and bring my family here on Christmas Day, seeing as they were one of the few places open. They gladly accommodated for 3 foot massages and 2 body massages. I personally had a foot massage, which lacked pressure for the entire session. It literally felt like she was petting the feet the entire time. Not to mention her nails were sharp so when she was using her fingers to go over the top of my toes it literally felt like she was digging her nails into my toes. My husband got a body massage, to which he said it was like they picked a random person off the street and just told them to massage him. The masseuse has zero training, rhyme or reason to any of her motions. And massaged him through the flat sheet the entire time. Never coming back here again. read more

Get the heck outta town! Whoever came up with the idea of a foot massage lounge ought to be group hugged at this very moment. Foot massages are pretty much the best thing on earth (next to puppy dogs and double rainbows) so naturally I was overjoyed about coming here. Just thinking about it makes me all excited! My gf and I lounged in the private spa room built for 2, with two cushy lounge chairs, cushy ottomans and a large flat screen TV. Oprah was on and we were all over it. Girly indulgence o'clock! My fave scene on the show was when John Travolta was standing with these military dudes on Oprah's stage and they were all crying... but because my friend and had been visiting so much, we couldn't figure out why Travolta was there... so it just seemed hilarious... ok, had to be there...anyhoo... We were brought tea in tiny tea cups (I could have drank a whole pot) and being a tea granny, I was smitten. The massage was divine. Painful in a good way (acupressure) and relaxing to boot. I felt like I had new legs after (yes, they massaged lotion all the way up to my knees... I kind of wished I'd shaved but heck! I have to keep warm somehow!). I am so going back there. Free parking is available inside the tiny strip-mall parking lot but was full so I opted for metered parking. You didn't hear it from me, but when you come, sneak some wine and chocolates to complete your experience of awesomeness. Love. read more

This is what I wish my home was like. A big tele, comfy chairs, and my feet being rubbed, tugged and beaten to a pulp. If I had it my way... I guess I'd live in a spa! From first sniff (wonderfully aromatic) to the first splash I was in heaven. The staff are quiet, the space is zen to the fullest use of the word, the space is clean and minimalist and the prices are Vancouver-Spa-Reasonable. Plus, you can dish with pals or just drift away to wherever you go when people are massaging your tootsies (mmmmmmm). There are private rooms and open spaces. Plus, some free parking outside which is limited, but better than paying on the street. My only lament was that it wasn't very clear what kind of massage I was receiving. I've been to reflexology where they tell you afterward all kinds of things about your body but here it just felt great. Does that mean it's just a relaxing massage after all? read more

Came back again and this time with my b.f. He was a bit nervous about getting a foot massage but in the end his fears are cast aside. He had a really nice relaxing time. I also enjoyed the massage, once again the pressure was just right and legs felt really smooth and relaxed afterwards. A really nice treat to end a busy week. Next time, we'll try the full body massage. read more

I found out about Sole Spa through a Team Buy purchase. While it was supposed to be for a 50 minute foot reflexology massage, I upgraded to the 50 minute acupressure body massage. The phone call to make an appointment was quick and easy. The location is really easy to get to by bus (important to me because I don't drive). The space is so soothing and inviting. I love the simple minimalist decor. The private room for the massage was nice and large. The massage was absolutely heavenly! I had never had acupressure massage before, and I don't know if I can go back to Swedish massage after this. It was so relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Once it was done, the massage therapist asked if I wanted a 30 minute foot reflexology done as well. It was well worth it, and I'm going to have to go back to try a long reflexology session. I highly recommend the Sole Spa to anyone who's looking for a nice relaxing time and a bit of pampering. read more

Angela here is excellent. This place is clean, comfortable and personable. I usually get full massage then reflexology, or foot massage. I have gone to lots of other spots in Vancouver and never leave feeling unknotted, or totally pain free, I do when I leave this place. The owner, Angela, is very helpful and likes to make sure your experience is the best it can be. No complaints here, ever. Don't know why there a few negative ones here. I am just bordering over extremely fussy with services. This place, for the price and service cannot be beat! read more

My friend and I went to Sole Spa for a double massage. Our massage therapists were nice and one was especially good at getting the knots out. This is not the most formal professional spa in the world but its cheap and good quality. I would definitely recommend Sole! read more

Holy sh*t this place is horrible. I've had two TERRIBLE EXPERIEINCES. the vastest being I called in two book two foot rubs, when we got there they sat us down and we waited over 20 minutes before we even saw anyone in the place, I was yelling out for someone because I had to leave at a certain time, eventually someone came and started on my friend but not on me. After an HOUR someone came to start my rub but by then I had to leave, I complained to the woman at the front and after I left my friend who was still getting her feet done texted me that the lady had screamed at the man and slapped him! So awkward. so unprofessional. Don't waste your time. read more

Chairs are SUPER comfortable, I fell asleep. i was in the private room with the TV and my technician was watching the TV as she did my massage, not to be a jerk I asked her to turn it off as the noise was distracting.... obviously to both of us. Anyways as part of a social shopper coupon I was happy. Though once you add the tax and fees it's not really a discount at all. I'll go back to use my last two coupons of course. Go if you're in the area but it's not a zen spa experience.... but the massage was great. read more

Honestly just left this place and wish I just stayed in bed instead waste of time. The massage was not even proper reflexology as I've been to tons in my life time it was just rubbing not even proper rubbing. There are tons of good places to not have to go here read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. This place is horrible. The guy kept looking at the clock every 5 minutes and it felt like all he was doing was cleaning my feet not massaging me. Another thing is that the massage was not consistent. This guy went harder on my left leg than my right leg. I left with my left leg feeling like it was bruised but luckily it wasn't. I would NEVER come to this place ever again or recommend this place to anyone! I ENDED UP LEAVING 15 MINS EARLY AS THE MASSAGE WAS HORRIBLE. worst one ever. read more

I booked a foot massage and ended up getting a back massage too. Service was mediocre. It was not bad, but it wasn't all that good either.

I had a 50min body massage which was nothing but horrible. The lady who massaged me (who was also the receptionist lol) had long fingernails which was painful like being scratched by a cat. It actually left some scratch marks on my skin. I had to stop her a few times because of the pain. I doubt she had any training or understanding of massage. I came out of massage feeling worse than I did before the massage. The place was dingy, very dark and smelled a little off... It's a shame I even went there. Waste of $$ read more

I read the review for this place, some good some bad so I decided to give it a try. I called on Wednesday to make reservation at 4pm. They told me they can make it at 5pm for me but I was going out with my girls so I said I will go another day. 10 mins later they called me say can put me and my boyfriend at 4pm. But another 10 mins later they called me again to cancel the appointment but didn't say why. And I called today again to make reservation at 9pm. Even tho they don't offer the discount price $28/50mins on friday but the woman who spoke to me on the phone offer me 20% off. We got there 10 mins before. They gave us a individual room for me and my man. The woman at the reception asked if we want to make it 60mins and will be only 8 dollars more. I said no, 50 mins is fine for today. But when the guy came in to the room that woman told him to do 60 mins for us in mandarin. I didn't want to let them know I speak mandarin so I just make sure the service we are getting today in English with 2 guys who are going to massage us. He went out the room and came back said: you do 50 mins foot massage and go outside for 15 mins head and shoulder for $55. And I was like....... Dude, you make me so confused. 3 different prices in 10 mins?? What the heck? They tried sooooo hard to convince us to pay more Anyway, we deal for 50 mins service at the end. It was Suuuuuper awkward because they did not talk to me or my boyfriend, and didn't ask if the pressure was fine. Few mins later, the guy who was massaging me literally felt asleep!!!!!!! I am not joking at all. Me and my boyfriend both noticed it. The guy was nodding his head but still massaging me, well..... It wasn't really a massage. He was just touching my feet with mo pressure AT ALL!!!!!! The time went so slow, I wasn't enjoying it. After the massage we went upfront to pay. The woman was going to charge me 42 bucks, which is 10 bucks different from the price you told me before. I asked why is 42, she said our session was 60 mins. I was like...... No?!! It was 50!! She went back to talk to the guys and said because we changed our mind, otherwise it should be 60 mins. I just couldn't hold my temper anymore. I told her we never changed our mind. We deal 50 mins and it was just 50 mins. Overall it was a really bad experience. Employee wasn't nice and friendly with no skills. Don't know why most of the Chinese businesses don't have integrity and they just try to make money for today but never thought about if they provide a good service to customer then the customer will become a return customer. Sigh...... read more

i came here with my fiance b/c my massage therapist recommended this place. firstly, i have to say that $28 for 50 min foot massage is an awesome deal (mon to thur only). and they did a pretty good job, even without english as their strong point. the place was clean, modern, nicely furnished. we were seated in comfy sofa chairs in front of a big tv. but then we were left alone for literally 5 min without anything further. and someone came in with large bins and we were asked to soak our feet for another 10 min in silence. it was sort of awkward at first. but we eventually settled on a tv channel and the massage (when they got to it) was great. i think they even massaged us for the full 50 min after we soaked our feet. but i feel like the moment they realized i knew how to speak chinese, it was as if the customer service switch turned off for them and they were quite un-customer-service friendly: 1. my massage lady turned her chair and had it facing the tv half the time (my fiance's massage guy did not. i'm not sure if my fiance being a halfer makes a difference or not). 2. the front desk lady demanded a tip. (sorry, but i tip if there is customer service given, not just service performed). 3. the front desk lady was also quite rude in telling us that we must make reservations next time because "we are not always so lucky to get walk in appts". (ok, i get that. but it all comes down to the delivery of the request. to add to that, i had tried to call in twice to book an appt the day before, but no one picked up the phone.) massage: 4 stars service: 0 stars not sure if i would come back. my fiance has no complaints though. he also didn't understand what was being said between me and the front desk lady because it was all in chinese. read more

I have trouble even leaving one star for this place. I've been here once before and did not have such a great experience, the staff were rude but thought i would give this place a try again since I saw a coupon on social shopper. When we got in, there was already a mistake with a customers booking which should have been an indication for us to leave. My husband and I were seated in a private room which was nice. Our coupon was for a deal of 50 minute reflexology and 15 minute salt bath. The foot bath was nice, but the 15 minute turned into an hour of waiting before people even came in to do our reflexology. The water was cold and the owners son was running around and bothering my husband and I in the room. At first it was cute and I was trying to be understanding and then it just got out of control. He was running in and out of our room watching us and making a lot of noises opening and closing our door. Finally someone came in to give the reflexology session but only for me. So my husband had to keep waiting. The second person didn't come until a half hour into my session. And then they wouldn't stop talking in their native language so it was no longer a relaxing session. My reflexologist left because someone else requested him so another girl stepped in just 10 minutes before my session ended and the talking between them got even more distracting. During the session, a customer came in requesting for service as her appointment time had passed and no one was in the front. She came by a few times and tried talking to the guy doing my session and the guy was so rude, waving his hand and telling her to sit and wait. The session itself wasn't even good at all. I feel like I should go back to Footworks so I can feel more satisfied. I am definitely not coming back here and would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Best place in town for an amazing foot rub! It is very clean, modern and peaceful. Staff are excellent. And great price for an hour of relaxation!!!! my husband and I went together and we had our own private room where we were able to watch TV and chill. And we both loved it.. sooo great place for a date night. No question we will be back! read more

I tried to book an appointment for a friend as a gift. Incredibly rude. Insisted that I had to come in. She made racial comparisons. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. read more

In reality I would give this spa a 3.5 star review. I booked double foot massage and while I enjoyed my massage, I felt that the other technician was the manager and didn't really have experience (they probably just wanted to fulfil the request for 2 massages). A child was there which is fine but he was cranky or bored and was making noises behind the curtain and his mom kept talking to him. It really takes you out of the experience. Would I go back? Ehh they give a discount before 5pm so why not. However I don't think I would want to pay full price for this place. read more

Over the last few years I've visited sole spa about a dozen times. A couple times it was hit and miss but I felt the need to update my review as all off my recent visits have been great. Today I had Mary and she gave the best foot massage I have ever had - clearly she is highly trained. I definitely recommend asking for her when you book an appointment. Also, Monday to Thursday before 5pm there is a 25% off special. This place is worth checking out if you enjoy a good foot rub! I will be back soon. read more

I wish there was an option for less than one star! I called three weeks ago to book my Social Shopper reflexology. I was confirmed for an appointment in Saturday at 2pm. My friend and I arrived exactly at 2pm. When we told her about the appointment she flipped through the appointment book and could not find my appointment. The entries in the book were chicken scratch so I'm not shocked to see others having problems with their appointments. We were told they could not take us until 4 pm, 2 hours after our schedule time! We declined as we had plans. The woman was of no help and told us our only option was to come back another day. She hardly apologized for their error nor did she try to make amends for the situation. Do NOT go to Sole Spa! They do not care about their customers! read more

My first experience at a Spa and it was very good! We purchased a $25 Group-on that provided a 50 minute foot massage & 10 minute hand/shoulder massage. Comfortable chairs and a nice big flat screen TV to watch. The decor was asian themed and the staff was very friendly and professional. My wife conversed with her reflexologist for the duration and made a new friend. I would go again, they have a deal on now offering a 50 minute foot massage for $28 and they offer discounts on certain days of the week (Mon-Tues %30 discount). read more

Purchased two Groupons wanting to give this place a shot because we love foot massages and Sole Spa is close to home. Regret & disappointment. Without a doubt, the place is clean, modern and conveniently located. However, the foot massage (which is the whole point) was pretty unsatisfying. My partner and I both thought there was no strength / technique applied. Sadly, my massage therapist checked her watch four, five times throughout. While I can totally appreciate the importance of time management in spa service, I thought it would be nice if they could do this more discreetly. No tea or water offered. We will not be returning. Not a good way to honour business through Groupon at all. I hope they treat their regular customers better and with more care. read more

Go see "happy" she is a awesome therapist. Lots of parking and they serve some very tasty tea and biscuits while you soak your feet. Comfortable chairs and the cleanest washrooms I have ever seen at a foot massage place. read more

Great new place. Comfy lounge chairs for foot massages. Tranquil inside. Reflexology, so you can ask for as painful or as soft a touch as you want. Good deal for the mon-thurs off hours' special. read more

I received a gift certificate for a "footy" for Christmas and was looking forward to it because a group of co-workers had gone and raved about it. I now understand why. The staff were amazing (I re-scheduled several times and there were no complaints) and because I went during a quiet time, was by myself in a beautiful room with very comfy chairs. The scent of the lotion was beautiful, the masseuse (Selma?) was great - checking whether the pressure was right, etc. I thought I would read during it, but quickly put away the book and just leaned back and enjoyed the experience. I am coming back and bringing friends. It is a wonderful way to relax and my feet are still happy. read more

My boyfriend and I came here recently for a foot massage. It was both our first time and I've always had sore feet so we decided to check this place out. The place itself is very nice, it has a nice relaxing spa atmosphere to it. I loved the decor at this place. We got the private room with a big flat screen TV, which my boyfriend really enjoyed. The ladies who massaged our feet were very nice and knew what they were doing. They would often ask us if the pressure was okay which I liked. Another thing about this place is that they give you this stamp card where every time you go in for a massage you get a stamp on your card and once you've got 10 stamps, you get your next massage free! Overall, it was a nice relaxing experience. I will definitely be back =) read more

If I could I would give no stars. My girlfriend and I were basically beat up for hours. The man who gave me a massage did not speak to me once. Was curt in his responses and treated my body like a punching bag. It felt like he had no training and my body feels worse following a massage and foot treatment. I left angry and in a lot of pain that's didn't feel healthy. There was no massage it was short bursts of hitting. During the foot part he looked angry and like he would rather be anywhere else and disdainful. I cannot capture how awful the experience was and how much pain various parts of my body are in now. read more

Found this awesome place through my daughter and now I'm hooked and encouraging anyone that likes a good foot massage to give it a try :) What a wonderful way to unwind and relax, 50 minutes of heaven Highly recommended read more

Went to do my nails getting a medi pedi. Good costumer service. Friendly economy very helpful, good pricing . Looking forward to go for a medi pedi again. See you guys soon .... read more

Vancouver's premium foot/reflexology lounge to kick back and enjoy self indulgence!! I made an appointment at SOLE Spa after a day of long walking and was welcomed by excellent customer service. They were able to book my fiancee and myself in despite their busy schedule. SOLE Spa exceeded all expectations. The environment is relaxing and casual- a modern touch with zen-like feel. The reflexologists are true to their profession, after my appointment I felt re-charged, light on my feet; and the pressures used was exactly what I indicated. Great treatments for a great price!! I'm definitely coming back soon! read more

First time visit to Sole Spa, had "Happy" as massage therapist which I would highly recommend if you're looking for a pressure point massage. Opted for the 100 minute massage and was well worth it. Very clean and professional service. read more

Horrible experience. Booked a full body massage with a friend last minute. When we showed up they put us in a room without any instruction or questions of us. We had trouble communicating with them as they did not speak very much English. When we did receive the massage it was clear that one of the practitioners (the male) had no idea what he was doing. Did not talk to my friend at all and basically just touched and squeezed her all over with rough hands. At one point he placed paper towels all over her head? Clearly inexperienced. We think because it was last minute and they wanted the double booking, they had someone do the massage who was not a masseuse. The massage wasn't very effective. For a full body massage they basically only touched my back and shoulders, no feet, no head, no flip over. We both left with bruises - and normally we like strong pressure, but this was don't incorrectly. On the website it lists a 30 min and 50 min option we chose the 50min but when we went to pay they charged us for more - an hour massage. We felt scammed. Horrible experience. I feel bad as they seemed kind, but this is not a professional establishment at all. Being massaged is a trusting/personal service and we felt so uncomfortable upon leaving - taken advantage of. Don't go! read more

I wish I read Peggy H.'s review before I tried this foot massage. On the advertising board outside, the rate for Mon. to Thurs. is $28 for 50 minute foot massage. Well, i was charged $42 for the 50 minute massage. I said that's not what is advertised on the board outside. She said that because the massage went past 10PM, the rate was now $42. At no time during the foot massage did she mention this rate change. I agree with Peggy's assessment that Chinese (from China) businesses cheat non-Chinese speaking customers. If you do not speak and understand Mandarin, I recommend you avoid this establishment unless you want to be cheated. The $28 for 50 minute foot massage is a complete lie!!! read more

great atmosphere. clean (most importantly). not the cheapest but you are paying for the better seats and better location. Parking can be a pain if you are going on a rainy weekend afternoon. Overall, very good service. read more

Been to this place about 20 times in the past year or so. Unfortunately there are not so many places for good massage in Vancouver. I've been to many of the spas in Vancouver such as, Utopia, Scandive, Thai spa, Smile Thai and so many more. Although type of their massage, price and clientele varies, but I believe for having good massage experience some elements are necessary: hygiene, relaxed and calming environment and finally an experienced and motivated masseuse. This place has these elements to some acceptable extent. But, one should be so careful because not all of the staff are experienced and skilled and can easily cause injuries and discomfort. I've had some very bad experienced there with two of their staff, leaving me with pain for weeks. Angela, the manager, could be tricky and not honest at times. But, since choices are limited I still use this place, but try to manage my experience proactively. read more
