A satisfying experience. The inside is quite colorful. The massage was very good and the price very reasonable ($45 for a 70min combo of 40min foot, 20min body and 10min warm foot bath. The conversations among staff were a bit louder than the barely-audible music, which was distracting at times. They do a good job wearing masks and separating the massage chairs into mini-cabins read more

This was my first time visiting this salon. I enjoyed the lovely energy in the quaint place. Both the girls were delightful and friendly. I did not get my manicure/Pedicure painted so did not post a picture, but enjoyed the walking out with a smile. I will return and will mention to friends. read more

Great deep tissue massage with Rocky. Business is clean and people are kind. Thank you

Consistently soothing foot massages. Friendly people. A good place to go with my partner or kids.

Ask for SUSAN!!! I've been seeing her for over two years. She never and I mean never disappoints!!!! Her foot reflexology is amazing and her upper body massages are to die for. When I walk out of there I feel like I'm 20 years old again! read more

Very welcoming and friendly staffs. Great service. My wife and I have baby feet again after callus removal service. Will definitely come back! read more

I've had 3 foot massages here and each has been wonderful. Today was with Tony who was an excellent technician helping with my foot soreness. read more

Good price but my toe was inadvertently injured during a pedicure by the nail clipper cutting into skin. Massage was alright.

Awful foot massage. I used to go here years ago and had many favorites. Maybe there are a few good folks here that are good but I'm not going to take my chances again. read more

Jerry is remarkable. He addressed the concerns I have (glaucoma / unregulated nervous system) and took steps to help me by incorporating a customized massage and tips for self-massage. This is my second review in 13 years and I'll definitely be back! read more

Was surprisingly great! No it's not perfectly silent - people will be talking around you, people will come in and out of the rooms. But the reflexology itself was really solid and they're super nice. read more

I did nail regular at this place. A nail Lady asked extra Dollar for the color I picked. Later a customer came, they didn't ask her. so bad people looked at you charges extra. When I talked to the front desk, that person did not mention anything about extra charge. never go Back for sure. Nail lady was in very rush. I did not like it. They should treat others with respect. read more

Amazing but please put a sign on the front door that that says"please dont talk at full volume". It is super simple. Rich people that get cheap massages for some reason talk at full volume. Say something like "no" and the loud talkers heads will explode. If i was rich i would still not be a jerk Telling a millennial "no" is very entertaining. Because you will have to say something three or four times they look at you and they don't understand. They make $200,000 a year they should be able to talk as long as they want but yet they're cheap mofos. Get a back room otherwise expect to hear a full story from ladies who just want everyone to know they got their smoothie delivered. If you talk full volume at a massage place for sure you dont return your buggy. read more

Sadly, I can no longer recommend this place. In October, I came here for a regular pedi. The male technician nicked my small toe. I can forgive an accident. Yesterday, I had another pedi done. The female technician went to town with my cuticles and trimmed it until the skin on my big toes were raw. She kept asking me if it hurts and I said yes, but she said, it's ok. Only a little bit. WTH? They also don't enforce their "keep it quiet" policy. It has been noisy the last two times I've come in and that's not relaxing to me even if I've booked the first appointment in the morning, but the massage area just gets too busy and noisy. I wish them luck but they won't be getting my business anymore especially since there are a whole bunch of nail places around. read more

This place requires a tip. I feel if I'm bringing my money already I shouldn't be required to tip! Very rude!

Great back and foot massages. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. They also offer a warm beverage and cookies to go with your massage which is a plus. read more

Wow! Never knew I needed reflexology! I have referred more than three people. Going back once a month now!

I'm so unbelievably disappointed. I was so looking forward to my pedicure because I rarely treat myself and this place has good reviews. I got here early and granted I was the only customer, I could not relax and was completely on edge the entire time. There were approximately ten staff including the girl working on me that were chatting non stop, very loudly, the entire time. It was completely overstimulating and ruined the whole experience. I had almost gotten a massage and I'm so glad I didn't because it was so loud the entire time and some of the staff was smoking right outside the front door so it smelt like cigarettes the whole time. Sadly, I won't be back. read more

Toe-Asis Spa - Their policy that means nothing - Reflexology Near Me - San Francisco, California

Go here weekly. Jin gives one of the best massages I've ever had. Highly recommend read more

Great affordable massage place! I just walked in after running a lot of errands for moving and this was such a nice surprise! It was only $30 for 30mins and the masseuse knew all the pressure points. Some other review recommended bringing their own headphones since the massage area is only separated by curtains - definitely +1 to that if you want your own music! Definitely will be back - I feel lighter now read more

Toe-Asis is a neighborhood gem! Super cute, clean, brightly lit with semi-private massage rooms and great service. Everyone was so polite and friendly. The massages were so perfect! You are in a curtained off room but you don't fully disrobe - at least for the massages we got. We transitioned back to the front of the shop for a great mani and pedi. Highly recommend! read more

Very relaxing and affordable services. It was easy to make an appointment. I would recommend coming here if you're in town visiting or live local, and looking to melt away some tension and stress. read more

If you walk in heels, sandals or have dry feet, you must come here! If anyone ever told you no one will see your feet (hinting you shouldn't take care of it) they're lying to you! Your hands and feet must look decent no mater if it's winter time and especially summer time, should look it's best. I had the hardest time looking for a foot scrub place until I found utoepia. Their staff is super friendly and they get packed super quick, so it's best to make an appointment. Their decor is super colorful and I got the callus scrub and paraffin wax for my hands. The paraffin wax made my hands so soft and they basically wrapped your hands in a bag with the was for a good 10-15 min and once they take it off, it's a miracle. The callus scrub has three processes, wrapping your feet in a bag that heats up, scrubbing the dead skin off (this process is super ticklish), and moisturizer lotion to finish it off. Their price isn't crazy and for the service they provide, it's worth it and super easy to find parking. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

uTOEpia is where the East MEETS West... What a genius idea of having a Chinese Foot Massage along with a Nail Salon all in one establishment. Several months ago, my friend told me about uTOEpia which I suggested to two of my friends for a Girls' Day Out. On Sunday, 5.1.11, my girls and I arrived at uTOEpia a little early for our 4 PM appointments so we had to wait a bit until they were ready for us. Traditionally, Chinese Foot Massage (Reflexology) can be very intense but very beneficial to your health (i.e. improves circulation, release toxins, etc). It starts with a footbath while the masseuse massages your scalp, face, neck and arms. They then proceed to the foot reflexology massage portion which includes a calf and thigh massage. Finally, you're flipped onto your tummy where your shoulders, back, buttocks are massaged. You're fully clothed the entire time and it's often performed in an open room with other patrons. UTOEPIA'S FOOT MASSAGE (CHINESE FOOT REFLEXOLOGY): Your feet bathe in a warm herbal bath for about 10 minutes while the masseuse preps. After drying off your feet, they start with the foot massage which involves a lot of kneading along with some work on the pressure points on the bottom of your feet. Your calves are then massaged before the recliner is reclined down and you're flipped over on your tummy. They then massage your scalp, neck, shoulders, back and your buttocks. HOW IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER CHINESE FOOT MASSAGES In January 2010, I popped my Chinese Foot Massage Cherry and since then I've received about 18 foot massages in various SF, LA and Vegas establishments. All these places were no-frills and hole-in-the-walls where you're there solely for their services. uTOEpia is Americanized and more serene, hip and upscale than your run of the mill Chinese Foot Reflexology place. You're placed in a closed off area with curtains which separate two recliners at a time. The furnishings are new and chic. Most importantly, the chattering among the masseuses is kept to a minimal, although they should impose a "No Cell Phone Policy" because we had to hear one patron talking on her cell phone while trying to enjoy our massages. As far as the massage goes, it's more RELAXING as opposed to intense. The pressure was light at times which I'm not use to, so it's a great place to introduce someone to Chinese Foot Reflexology. When/if I come back again, I would definitely ask for the male masseuse since my friend said he applied a lot of pressure on her. Also, the massage was more like 60 minutes because you don't get massaged while your feet is in the herbal bath. PRICES *FOOT MASSAGE (offered between 10 AM- 10 PM): --$35 for 70 minutes: 10 minute herbal foot bath, 40 minute foot massage and 20 minute back massage --$40 for 70 minutes: 10 minute herbal foot bath, 30 minute foot massage and 30 minute back massage After your 10th visit, your next foot massage is FREE! *MANI/PEDI (offered between 10 AM - 7 PM) --$12 for Mani --$22 for a Pedi --$29 for a Mani & Pedi --$50 for a Hot Stone Pedi CC's are accepted and CASH gratuity is appreciated. SERVICE The entire staff is very friendly and try to keep chatter at a minimum unlike other establishments. The receptionist speaks English pretty well and the rest of the staff speak enough in order for you to understand each other. AMBIANCE/DÉCOR Bright and chic with a lot of neutrals and bright oranges for a pop of color. There are about 10 recliners for foot massages and 5 recliners for a mani and pedi. PARKING It can be challenging sometimes to find street parking in that area so allow yourself extra time or carpool. Looking for a Girls' Day Out? Look no further, uTOEpia is the PERFECT place to have a day of pampering with your girls; have a champagne brunch nearby, get foot massages and top it off by a mani and pedi! read more

Where's the local anesthesia ? The manicurist ( I believe her name was Hanmei? I couldn't read her writing) dug so deep into the side of every toe nail which caused pain and discomfort. I've never EVER had a manicurist do that to me ever! I don't even had ingrown toe nails, so what the heck? She actually even made me BLEED. She asked to cut the sides of my nails and I said only a little. Well, she didn't care to listen. In the picture I've include you can see the dark spot to the left of my second toe. That is from the scabbing due to the bleeding and cut she had inflicted. I believe this happen when she didn't continue to snip nail but instead pulled off my nail in a plucking motion as if it were eye brows. I mean seriously woman ?? She never said sorry. Instead, she applied drops (didn't bother to tell me what it was) which caused more pain. It hurt more than alcohol ! Was it even an antiseptic !? I once gave this place four stars and was a regular at this place. I stopped going to them because I was no longer happy with their service but decided to give them another shot. I'll never come back. Look how messy it is around my second toe in the picture I included. $23 + tip for what !? I still tipped her but had to let them know about my experience. She rushed through the entire time. My toe is still throbbing! Her rush job obviously shows in her work. Save your money and go somewhere else. I told the receptionist. Let's hope I don't get an infection or else they will hear back from me. I happen to be 18 weeks pregnant too. read more

Toe-Asis Spa - I've pointed out the scabbing and dry blood. Look at the dryness too around that toe. I just had this done 10 AM - 11 AM - Reflexology Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finally found a worthy reflexology place in SF!!!! So elated!!!! SERVICE: a.) May, the Cantonese lady was my masseuse. She was nice, very kind :) The man in front was very nice too :) b.) $35 for 70min - (50min foot massage, 20min upper body) Also... They signed me up so I can be qualified for the free 11th visit. Schweat deal! Member #3077 * Warm Lotion Manicure - $12 * Warm Lotion Pedicure - $22 * Warm Lotion Mani Pedi - $29 * Hot Stone Pedicure Therapy - $50 * Reflexology 20 min - $20 * Reflexology 35 min - $25 * Reflexology 70 min - $35 c.) I always forget how much reflexology hurts at some points, lol. But I endure it, knowing the deeper the pressure, the more relaxed and loosened my muscle tissue will be. Not as hard or thorough as my ghetto Reflexology spot in San Heez. This massage was definitely more concentrated on the foot and lower leg. Only minimal upper body massage laying face down. I love how May used enough massage oil so the motion was smooth and didn't get friction against the skin. (ugh! that's happened to me before! Not using enough massage oil!) And then at the end, she used a really hot towel on the legs which doubled as wiping off the oil. How considerate! The ghetto place I've gone, does no such thing. You will go home sticky icky. lol.. d.) Love how they provide hot tea to begin with, along with thin coconut crackers!!! Cute!! Also, this really impressed me, but since I was wearing jeans, May offered me sweat shorts I could borrow!!! Since jeans are kind of tight and uncomfortable. Augh, LOVE it. Then at the end, I helped myself to a choice of mango jelly candy or white rabbit candy in their candy dish. That's what I'll call a happy ending. lulz. e.) They also offer the service to get nails did. Maybe next time.. :) ATMOSPHERE: Semi private wispy curtains, the massage barcaloungers are like memory foam! Luxurious! The overall color and motiff is great ahhhhhh.... Put in my earbuds in, sit back, sip on hot tea, nibble on the coconut cracker, and fall into a Utoepian trance. Btw, witty pun! uTOEpian! lol.... clever clever. (Member #3077) read more

Toe-Asis Spa - Reflexology Near Me - San Francisco, California

My experience was about a 3-3.5, but the average score between all of us who went (5 girls) is a 2-2.5, so rounding down. Sadly, this was one of our least favorite nail salon experiences. We made an appointment for 2:40 pm on a Saturday, and 3/5 of us ran 10 minutes late. The other girls were halfway through their pedicures when we arrived, and the 3 late birds were sat right away to make up for lost time since they had booked appointments right after ours. The salon is on the smaller side, and they have 7 chairs available for pedicures/manicures. They have a good variety of colors to choose from, and different brands such as OPI, Essie, X Factor, etc, although I wish they had a wider selection of OPI colors. You have to share the space with people getting massages, and they ask you to keep your voices down, which is awkward and takes away from the relaxation aspect of getting a pedicure, since who wants to feel like they're in a library?? I liked that they give you a small tub for your feet so that you know it's sanitary. However, it meant that there was no massage chair, so a tough trade-off to make. My nail technician was a man (Nam), who seemed nice, and was very efficient, but not at all talkative. However, he did a pretty good job for me ($23, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=E4Xz6J8MqFbIwUlcv0LeGg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg). I also appreciated that they had fans to ensure the polish dries quickly, but there are only two available. My friend had the worst experience here with her pedicure- she has her nail technician license, and usually cleans up her cuticles and nails a bit before appointments. Her technician (who was apparently new to the salon) took advantage of this and finished her appointment long before mine was finished, even though I sat down first! She communicated this to the store owner, who said she appreciated the feedback and apologized, but didn't even give a discount. The only thing she did was put all 5 stamps on the same stamp card for my friend to get her halfway to a free pedicure, and the cost of the rest of us 4 girls since we didn't get a stamp card! Basically, nothing was done. Either way, we already knew none of us would be returning here- we felt the pedicure was average at best, and at a high price point compared to other nail salons we've been to in SF. Parking is also difficult to find in this area, although metered street parking is available (you need to pay $2/hr on Saturdays). read more

Toe-Asis Spa - Pedicure ($23) - Reflexology Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wow! Love this place. First time here (visiting from Reno) and I was absolutely AMAZED by what I recieved for $41. A 10 min foot soak, 30 min reflexology, and 30 min upper body massage which felt like a deep tissue full body massage and was one of the best massage I've ever received. After a long day of walking the streets of San Francisco my husband teenage son, and I were in the mood for massages (it was almost 7pm), so I searched yelp for massage and reflexology spas/services, that were still open and found this place with good reviews. I called Utoepia and they surprisingly had 3 appts available at 9pm. We arrived and the staff was super friendly and were more than accommodating. We will 100% be back the next time we're in San Fran. read more

I called same-day to make an appointment and they had availability for a regular mani pedi and the quality of the service was really great! They were super nice, didn't make me wait too long, everything was clean and they had lots of nail polish colors to choose from. I would definitely recommend calling first to see if they have availability as I did see several people get turned away because they were fully booked. For just a regular mani pedi it was $30 which is super reasonable and I cant wait to go back and get a 70 minute foot and back massage for $36!!!! Also, they prefer cash for tip FYI. read more

Update: it's been 3 days & my gel mani already chipped ... As a server, I've gotten gel mani's in the past that last longer than 14 days. So you can't blame my job for it either. It's disappointing, I really like the color too ): read more

This place is awesome! I love that it's only $35 for a 70 minute foot massage which also includes a 30 minute back rub. I visited with 3 of my best girl friends and we all had an awesome time. We were super late to our 10 AM appointment but they were still willing to accommodate us. Love that we got a little bit of privacy behind their curtains. Will definitely return. read more

This place was wonderful! Reasonably priced, courteous staff, the foot reflexology and cupping were both exceptional. It was my first time having cupping done at this place, and I left feeling A LOT better! I've had cupping done once before, and it wasn't effective at another location. This place really helped to alleviate the pain I felt from my lower back, down my legs and feet. Highly recommended!!! read more

AMAZING place to get a massage!! For just $35 you get a GREAT 70 minute massage with foot reflexology being the bulk of your time there. Just remember to bring a hairbrush. I didn't know part of the massage time included a head massage and I left lookin a bit of a mess lol... read more

Toe-Asis Spa - The cabanas - Reflexology Near Me - San Francisco, California

Mmmmmmmassages! When you need someone to just really work into and knead your back and feet for a reasonable price I recommend this spot. It never fails to do the job. If you are really specific about certain styles don't go here, but I find that they've always hit certain pressure points and seem to sense where the tension lies in my shoulders and neck. If you are expecting a full quiet spa experience, this is not for you... as you can expect to hear the phones being answered and whatnot, if you are able to just tune in to the massage it's not a big deal. Can't wait for my next massage. read more

Wonderful value for foot reflexology and shoulder/neck massage. Go with girlfriends and get a private room (partitioned by curtains)! A very affordable treat. 5 stars. read more

Great Saturday date, called around 11 and got appointments for the one hour foot and massage combo at noon. Enjoyed the tea and cookies, was very relaxed at the end. read more

This is my go- to place for a last minute fun relaxing activity with a friend. They are relatively inexpensive, and who doesn't need a massage! I like that they have a range of options so it is easy to Taylor based on time and availability. The place is casual, clean, therapists are well trained and service is consistent, although some therapists are clearly better than others. Only minus for me is that they do nails as well, and very occasionally I have to deal with smell of nail lacquer when waiting for my reflexology session, this is only a minor thing compared to the plusses above. read more

I've been here twice before, I went in for a 15 minute shoulder and back session on my lunch break today. I was greeted right away, asked to sanitize my hands, and my temperature was checked. The massage chair was clean, a sheath was added for extra protection. The gentleman that assisted me today did an amazing job at helping release the tension in my problem areas. The spa is beautiful and clean, great ambiance, super relaxing and affordable. I'll be going back again in the near future. read more

Really great, friendly service. I got the $35, 70-minute foot rub. My masseuse, Mike, used great pressure, and made sure to check whether it was okay. He was also super friendly. Much classier than the typical foot massage place you'll find in Chinatown or the Richmond. They have curtains for greater privacy. read more

Really had high hopes for this place and was very disappointed! A friend and I went in for the 70 minute massages but they had a few different options to choose from once we arrived so we ended up getting a 30 min foot/30 min upper back massage. Our appointment was scheduled for 3:15 and it took about 10 minutes to get our room setup and then another 10 minutes before the massage even started. This was already a bit frustrating since we had planned activities afterward and now were about 20 minutes late. Let me preface this by saying I normally like strong pressure massages - this was just too much. The foot massage was unimpressive. Either he was gentling rubbing my toes or digging his thumb into the bottom of my foot - there was no happy medium. The back massage was horrible - I told him twice to please do it more gently and still he continued to put his whole body weight on my back, using his elbow. So much that the pressure on my throat made it hard to breath. I kept readjusting and was really wishing it would just be over. I thought maybe it was just my masseuse however my friend confirmed she had the same experience. My back is really hurting today. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend. read more
