I've been getting massages 1-5 times a week for over 30 years, all over the world, so I don't say…read morethis lightly: this place is a 10/10. I've had two 2-hour massages and one 60-minute session here, and every single one was excellent--incredible technique, perfect pressure, deeply relaxing, and truly therapeutic. Aida is magical. I highly, highly recommend her and really, the entire team. Every time I come in I'm exhausted and achy, and every time I leave feeling refreshed, reset, and ready to get back to work. Thank you a million times. This place is something special.

This was my first "real" massage! Visited for the first time and it was an overall positive…read moreexperience. I got the full body and foot massage which lasted about an hour. What worked: --the prices were extremely reasonable. I haven't seen a spa that can compete with the massage prices here -- no appointment was needed, I was able to just walk in on a Saturday -- most of the massage was really pleasant. I loved the hot rocks that they used and the leg and foot part of the massage was so nice, I could've fallen asleep during it -- the masseuse checked in two or three times to make sure I was alright with the pressure which I appreciated -- the room felt clean and private. Nice and warm, too -- I never felt over-exposed. The masseuse was great about keeping my body covered with a sheet when she wasn't actively massaging that spot. She also held the sheet up for me when I turned my body which added to the feeling of modesty/coverage What didn't work: -- this was my first massage so I didn't know what to expect. The masseuse didnt tell me how much to undress (I had to guess and hope it was okay) or ask any questions about areas that I'd like the massage focused on/areas that might be sensitive. Not a big deal but something that first timers should be aware of -- The masseuse was strong!! The pressure was intense and sometimes painful, but she reduced her pressure when I asked. I think someone who likes firm pressure or who has a lot of tension would really benefit! Overall, I had a positive experience and I'd go again now that I know what to expect. I think they may need to give a little more info or prep for first-timers but someone who knows what they want from a massage will have an awesome time here. The price and quality of the massage really make this place stand out as a top choice for me.

He was very good and my partner enjoyed his massage too. I was very surprised by the prices, which are unbeatable. I can't believe they still offer 30-minute foot massages for less than $30. We would definitely return the next time we are in Santa Cruz.

I've been coming here regularly for years. The past four times I have commented to them that they…read moreplay the same piece of music over and over in a five minute loop. I have asked them to fix it. The guy at the front got annoyed with me, saying I am the only person who notices this. He showed me the YouTube on his phone, which shows a three hour loop. Well, the thing is stuck on one song (which I could now easily play on the piano, having heard it so many times), and he refuses to believe me. I can't read the Chinese characters on his phone screen to show him how to fix it. The guy told me to bring my own headphones next time (I tried this once and couldn't relax with two sources of music playing at once). He was clearly unhappy with me. And I was unhappy too, because now I don't want to go back to my favorite massage place. Every massage I have had there was great (except for the danged music). Has anybody else noticed the five-minute music loop there? I'd be really curious to know whether it bothers anyone else. I would suspect that anyone with the slightest bit of musical background would find it irritating, as I do.

The lady just put some oil on my back and pretty much rubbed it on my back for most of the time. She said she doesn't know how to massage head and feet so she didn't touch those area. Instead she said she'll give me massage on temple/forehead but she kept rubbing my hair on my face that I had to tell her to stop pushing my hair into my face and rubbing it with oil. I even asked her to keep her hair up as it was all over my face. She keep chewing gum loudly the entire time. This business name should be changed from "ripple" to "rip off" massage.

She has very soft hands that hug your muscles and relief any pain you had. I had a deep tissue massage with her and I felt so relaxed after her treatment. I had a surgery lately and my back and neck muscles were so sore - she really helped me. She will adjust herself to the pressure you like, she always checks on you and make sure you're very comfortable. I wasn't comfortable with lying on my tummy and she adapted herself to my positions and provided a great massage. I'm very glad I found Tricia as my previous massage therapist's availability is tight and I'm looking for someone that is more available. Thank you Tricia, you're a real healer!
