Even though we were in town for just a few days, I contemplated going back again before the end of our trip. Coming to the "quirks". Scheduling and the phone conversation was not particularly clear. Their open times, the different types of massages they offer, the price of the massage. During the start and the course of the massage, it was also unclear what was expected in terms of clothing since we chose a foot reflexology which also included some body massage. Typically this is a clothes on massage at other places and it seemed to be the same case here based on the initial conversation. But later we were told you need to undress for the full benefit of the massage, i.e. it was no longer optional. Which, after the massage, was clear why but it wasn't what I was told/expecting going in. There was a little "tucking/folding" of the under garments to massage your lower back but without warning, lol. Again, the after effect of the massage was great so I'd suggest keeping an open mind if you decide to come here! Overall, I would return because now I know the quality of the massage and what to expect!

I made the drive from Fresno and my body wasn't happy with me. A quick Yelp search for massages near me and I found this place. I'm always a bit skeptical of massage places on Yelp when they don't list services or prices. But I chose this place because it was one of the few places that listed their services and prices. Don't be intimidated by it's hole in the wall appearance. If you can muster your courage, you'll be treated to a gem of an experience The massage was great!! Hannah worked out all my knots!! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! A great massage at value prices. I got an hour long, full body massage (Swedish) for under 60$. What?!?! They accept walk-ins but I made an appointment just in case covid capacity had to be considered. I don't know if they require masks, but I wore one even though I'm vaccinated. I figure if staff are still wearing theirs, I might as well wear mine and be mindful of their cautiousness. Just be aware that their business hours may now reflect 10am-8pm. I tried to book an 8pm appointment because Yelp said their hours were 10am-10pm. But still 12/10 experience!! Ask for Hannah

I like the Blu Orchid Spa. It was affordable and offered a calming atmosphere that really put my…read moremind into relaxation and calming mode. The appearance outside may not say much, but inside, one definitely felt safe and relaxed. I got a firm 90 min massage with deep tissue option with Kristy and I really.enjoyed it. Usually when I go to some places on affordable side, the environment made it hard for me to relax..but at this place..and in Kristy's good caring hands, I definitely and unexpectedly even fell asleep. I also love that you can customize your massage with a different scented (or unscented if you choose to) oil as well. For me, I picked therapist's choice because I was so indecisive..so I let Kristy picked for me. She combined rose and peppermint scent and I thought it was wonderful. If you want, you can also customize with some other add ones like hot stone, guasha, brushing, etc too. I like this spot and plan to be back again soon!

We came in on our year anniversary a little apprehensive as neither one of us has had a couples massage before. They were sooooo kind and accommodating. We felt right at home. Calvin performed my massage and it was amazing. He asked a few times about the pressure which I appreciated. The pressure was perfect. My boyfriend had Jass perform his massage and she suggested a few things that he agreed with. It was so relaxing for him that he fell asleep twice. I would definitely recommend! They are tremendously professional, offer excellent suggestions, it's affordable compared to some spa's out there, and it's a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon. Cheers!

I didn't, and ending up having a weird, disjointed, and very UN-relaxing, UN-effective massage...add to that, a super SHADY price, which was worse. The lady showed me to the room, said, 'take clothes off, face down.' Ok, standard stuff. Apparently she was not my therapist because I hear a man's voice. He is the one that is going to work on me; let your clients know what is going on. Zero communication. It's a little jarring when you are face down, and the person you think is going to be there, is someone else! I'm sure the person working on me was nice enough, but he left the room twice without telling me why. How unsettling! Once was to get hot stones that were not EVEN luke warm, and once was to get a hot towel to wipe off the house disinfectant-smelling oil he used on my back. I had to wash it off as soon as I got home. When he came back the second time, he left the door ajar, so anyone walking by might be able to see me covered in this weird 'half' sheet. No whole sheets, weird. I could certainly hear others talking since the door was open. So many times I wanted to end the massage because it was so awful. The guy, is he even licensed? Is this place licensed? He kept trying to cover my hair in a towel to keep the oil off-he spent several minutes adjusting that. Frustrating, when he could have been working on my back. The kicker: their sign that has been displayed on Eubank for more than a year states, "$50-one hour massage." When I went to pay, the bill was $64. I said, "no, your sign states..."-The lady said no, and showed me a chart showing different prices for the SAME ONE HOUR MASSAGE. (They have different pricing depending on the time of day. ) I told her that it was not fair because of their advertisement. She said since I was a first time client, that is was ok to do $50. Whatever. The price was $50, then a $3.00 service charge I wasn't expecting, and tax. I tipped a small amount and she had the AUDACITY to say that I had to tip 20%!!! I certainly did not. Their business name on my bank statement is 'Body Foot Spa Albuquerque NM' it doesn't even match the business name on the door and facade which is, 'Health Body Foot Spa, AND Body Foot...?'

My massage therapist was a woman who worked quietly and responded quickly when I had a sore spot. The hot rocks were perfect temp-- I've never tried that before but I really liked it. While it is true that the sign on Eubanks says 50$, the website clearly says 60$ an hour. They did not skimp on the full hour and I was grateful for their professional deep tissue massage.

I have been getting massages here for a couple of years. I typically get the "walk on back"…read moremassage, where the therapist does just that for part of the massage. I like a very deep massage, and this does the trick. It also typically includes a thorough conventional massage of the back and legs and a hot stone treatment that is very relaxing. I think this place is a terrific bargain, and the employees are always pleasant to me. Some of the negatives mentioned by reviewers are true, but you have to look at the place in context. If you need a specialized massage, this is not the place for you, as the therapists all seem to be trained in the same sequence and method of massage. Some therapists are better than others, but they are generally pretty consistent. Communication can be an issue, because many of the employees speak little English. They don't like card payments, and will push you to pay cash. "Appointments" are sketchy, as they don't even ask for your name when you call. So, if you want a $150 spa massage from a school-trained massage therapist, you're going to have to go somewhere else (and pay $150). But for crying out loud, where else can you get a decent, one-hour full body massage in a clean place from a polite therapist for $60 including tip? As far as I know, this is the only place in Albuquerque.

I have a regular place I go to, but it was a Sunday morning. My regular was closed and I was hurting. I decided on Chinese Massage because it was relatively nearby and had okay reviews (or any reviews, for that matter). Though they accommodate walk-ins, you can book online (however from other reviews, it appears they don't track their online booking system well). I booked an appointment 15 minutes out, just in case, and headed over there. It's located in a strip mall off of Eubank, just north of Constitution. Upon entering, no one was upfront, but someone came to greet me. The language barrier was quite significant and she didn't seem to understand when I said I'd booked online. She understood I was looking for a one-hour massage, so she directed me toward the back into a room with a floor lamp that had a disconcerting red light bulb, security camera monitors glaring down over the massage table and curtains along the back wall that covered what appeared to be something like rice paper wall/room divider. She then told me that I had to pay before the service, which I have never been asked to do at a massage business. I was uncomfortable doing so (especially since I typically use cash when dealing with smaller massage businesses, because I've had a few experiences where they "highly encourage" you to NOT use your credit card, so they can avoid merchant fees....and that conversation is also uncomfortable). That said, Chinese Massage does offer the option to pay with credit card. As for the massage, all I had to cover myself was a bath towel. The massage, for the most part, was lackluster. It was mostly rubbing oil along my contours, but no actual muscle manipulation. My massage therapist also left at least twice to go answer the front door. She did a decent job when it came to my hands, feet, and scalp. Afterwards, I was offered a bottle of cold water. Finally, the cost was $60 for the hour. While relatively inexpensive as far as many massage spa/facilities are concerned, I don't feel like I got $60 worth of relaxation.

My wife says that I don't listen to her, or something like that. Regardless, I felt like I got about 8-9 Rolfing sessions in one hour. She told me I would be sore, but I have been getting bodywork for over 50 years and that didn't bother me. I did get a little sore, but the relief from the tightness was worth the temporary pain. I climb a lot of ladders, and for the first time in several years I now have enough flexibility in my right hip to let me climb and descend symmetrically instead of like a gimp. Even my chiropractor was impressed. That's incredible! I am going to add the cupping next time. I believe you can also get a milk toast type massage, but I appreciate a deep massage for my high mileage body. I work hard and do a fair amount of heavy lifting, so my muscles are need serious help.
