I can't be the only one that loves Tao Massage. They're open for extended hours, have the best employees, fair prices and work out all the kinks. Every masseuse I've had has taken great care of me and been responsive to any vocalizations of problem areas. The best part is they bring things to my attention that I may not have even noticed and work it out. I used to come here regularly when I lived in Bham the first time years ago. To know they are still here with the same high quality service makes me happy each time I return. read more

Some good therapist but the older short one is no good. She tries to hurt you and rubs nuckles against your spine passive aggressively. Also she was rubbing my calf in one spot with one hand for 10minutes I look back and see her on her phone looked like it was on camera. I think that's illegal. I stopped the session and she still charged me 55$ for the sketchiest worst massage. read more

After reading other reviews, I thought hey why not this would be an excellent addition to my birthday agenda. I called ahead and was able to get a late morning appointment. In truth when I called, they didn't even take my name, so I figured I would be good to go. I walked in was immediately greeted. The staff was super friendly showed me the pricing guide made a recommendation, and I went with it. 90-minute-deep tissue including the walking on the back, and all I can say is "Yes" this was a totally relaxing majestic experience. It set the tone for the rest of my day and week, and worth every dollar that was spent. If you are on the fence, go for it, worth it. I think next time I will add more bell and whistles, and I don't think I'll wait on my birthday to do it, that's 363 days away. I certainly like to push other people towards great businesses who do what they advertise. Thus, the review and sharing a little bit about the experience. read more

I've been coming here for years and I've never had a bad massage! It's not about the fluff; it's all about the true need....all those knots and tightness. Today, I had Vicky and she was amazing; within in 90 mins, I got about 20 different knots get worked out, scalp/face/ear/occiput and full body massage!! Worth every penny! read more

I'm from California visiting Alabama and went to a few massage places, and this tops it all If anybody visits Alabama, I recommend that they come here. And make sure u ask for Mike he made me feel like a new man. Last but not least, customers was outstanding Make sure u come here. read more

I'm visiting from LA, where I have a running list of my go-to Chinese massage shops and this would definitely make the list in Bham. Owner was very friendly and I love that he asked if there is any particular place to on focus before the massage. The basic massage was no-frills, good pressure and productive. None of those filler movements that take up time but don't accomplish much! Would definitely try other offerings. read more

A little hard to get ahold of them by phone. But the massage itself is great! They are very professional and accommodating.

Walked right in and received a very good massage. Very positive outcome and professional experience. Would definitely return.

A friend introduced me to Tao Massage a couple of years ago...this establishment and professionals never disappoint! I travel approximately an hour because of the quality customer care, clean/welcoming environment and knowledgeable staff. With each visit I ask for what I want, they provide what I need as well and I leave satisfied. My last visit, I had the pleasure of receiving services from Leo and he was exceptional. For these reasons, Tao Massage has a lifelong customer and I'll continue to recommend to others. read more

My friends and I visited for the first time!! It was great!! I was unsure at first but definitely going back again! Staff was very nice too! read more

Tao Massage - From door of Massage Parlor! - Massage Therapy Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Yelp has disappointed me, but not THIS time! My massage therapist Emily gave me THE BEST, 60-minute, deep tissue massage. Because of my work, I've incorporated deep tissue massage into my regular self-care routine. The world would be a much better place, if people made massages a top priority to maintain their health & wellness. I have no complaints at all about my experience. Staff greeted me warmly. The service was superb & affordable. Each & every time that I'm in Birmingham, AL, I will make my way to Tao Massage. Please do yourself a favor & GO! read more

This place is the Aldi of massage. You are not paying for bells and whistles, you are only paying for a high-quality product without fancy trappings. I got an amazing deep-tissue massage that lasted 60 minutes for $60. The building isn't particularly attractive. The rooms are not particularly sound-proof as I could hear customers coming in and out of the business. However, I am very happy with the service provided at a price that can't be beat! I appreciated that the masseur always asked about my pressure preference as he moved to a new area of the body. As of 7/24/21, they are still requiring mask precautions as you enter the building, so keep that in mind. read more

Mr Tao was very professional and put me with a young lady that went straight to work on my problem area. My shoulder - the young lady was firm but careful. I was pleased and will be back. I was up here on business - thank you. Great deep tissue! read more

Came here on Christmas day and they were excellent! They also had a number of massage options for great prices! Can easily get a 75 minute massage for under $100. Workers were very helpful and communicative! read more

Good massage! No frills kind of place with good massage! Friendly service. Will be back.

Really enjoyed this place this was my second time visiting and did an Amazing job . Plus they are always open for walk-ins and they super friendly read more

FREAKING AMAZING!!! May is the best! My massage was exactly what I needed. She really worked in my back and made it feel much better.

I have horrible shoulder and neck tension all the time and been trying to deal with it through my home massager and asking my boyfriend for massages. He got fed up with me asking and sent me to get a real massage. I got the 75 minutes of 60 min of full body massage and 15 min reflexology for $74. It was amazing. Deep tissue massage with perfect pressure - and the masseuse made sure to ask if the pressure he was using was too hard or soft. But the best thing is that he actually spent extra time on my shoulders and neck when he noticed how many knots were there. Most full body massages that I've been to have set times for different parts of the body, but he adapted to mine. Will definitely go back, considering the price for quality of massage I got! read more

I'm going to chime in here and say it's better than Aldi (and I love Aldi, lol) It's more like Costco. You get a BIG massage for your money. After traveling on a super cramped plane in from NY, I got a massage today and have to say it was one of the best (therapeutic) massages I've ever had. I hardly feel a mile and Jim was magnificent. The facility is sparkling clean and the people were lovely. In spite of the (Chinese) language barrier I got just what I needed and will probably pop in again before I leave this weekend. No frills at all- but with your eyes closed, who cares? I had a 90 minute massage with hot stone for $114. Left a generous tip it was so good. Would pay 2x that back home.... read more

The BEST massage I have ever had. I had a painful knot in my back with a lot of tension and I left feeling like a new person. Kevin was amazing and professional. I will definitely be back!! read more

Today I booked a last minute massage. Tao was able to fit me in. This was my first visit, but my husband has had several massages here and been very pleased. Simon was my masseuse and he was awesome! I do not believe I've ever had a more thorough back massage. I also was having trouble with my piriformis muscle in my hip - he did his very best to work out this muscle. I was very impressed and bought a package of ten massages for my husband and me. Thank you, Simon! read more

I agree with one of the other posts-- this is the Aldi of massages. Been going there for 5 years-- the massages are always great- the facility is always very clean-- however, no fancy bells and whistles - definitely not for anyone looking for a spa experience read more

Excellent massage. Great value for the price. Very professional and excellent customer service.

This was my first time here and it will not be my last. Even with COVID-19 out here the staff made sure you didn't have a temperature and they will provide you with a mask if you left it or don't have ones. This was an awesome experience. I will be back it's worth money!! read more

Lucy was amazing! It was my first visit here but I had a great experience. The room was nice, the music was relaxing, & the massage was first class! I will be back for sure :) read more

Tao Massage - Enjoying my wait for an hour massage :) - Massage Therapy Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Wow! Incredible experience. So friendly and professional. The masseurs spoke less English than I was expecting, but they knew exactly what to do. I suggested some focus areas for the reflexology using a chart with the different affected sections of the foot posted near the entryway as well as motioning to places on my body. She was also able to find a not in my neck affecting the whole left side of my body and spent some time working on that. I had a wonderful time and will definitely return when I'm back in Birmingham. read more

Had a very weird experience today. Called and make an appointment, and when I arrived, they acted like they didn't know it was coming. I reiterated all the info again to make sure they knew what I was wanting. My appointment got started not much later than it was originally scheduled for. About 5 minutes in the lady that had been massaging me left and told me a new lady would be taking care of me. About 15 minutes in there was a knock on the door, and the new lady massaging me told me someone else would be working on me. The third lady that took care of me was so rough and caused me a lot of discomfort. I communicated when I was uncomfortable and she said "that's good". Do not plan to come back. With all the switching of people I didn't feel like I could relax because I was so unsure of what was coming next. Would not recommend. read more

I had a deep tissue massage for the first time and it felt great. This massage is not for the faint of heart!

Great service they give good massages at a reasonable price would recommend this place

I'd love to rate but I called to have the $39 special honored (as advertised) but was told that the offer has expired. I checked the prices on the list provided on the website but apparently that is also old & price was much more than advertised. read more

This was one of the best massages I have had! I started with a 30 min foot massage because they specialize in reflexology. So awesome!! Then a 60 min massage. Was a wonderful combination of relaxation, therapeutic muscle relief, and pressure point treatment. Not even sure what reflexology does or pressure points, but I feel amazing! Somehow eliminated my allergy symptoms, too! Felt so great leaving there! Was not a posh salon, but a great priced, simple rooms of relaxing experience with people waiting to serve you. Next time I return to Birmingham I'll be sure to make time to return here. My friend got hot stone massage for first time and she is hooked. Apparently an awesome experience. Took a second to locate the place because it is upstairs but glad I found this gem read more
