In-the-know Angelenos head to this West L.A. strip mall spot when they need a solid 50-minute massage on a budget. Given by the school’s massage therapy students in small, curtained off spaces, the $35 massages are great for people who care less about candles, soft music and pitchers of spa water than they do about paying a third of the cost for a massage. As with most bargains, choices are limited, and only light to medium firm Swedish massages are available. The school is open seven days a week and operates late on weeknights, a tempting proposition for those Westsiders who spend an hour in…

Editor's Tips

Save Money:
No tipping is allowed, since students are working toward certification. Walk-in patrons are welcome, although reservations are recommended. Go with a friend on Sundays and get two massages for $60.

Seriously great + affordable massage

by wjcoakley at Citysearch

Wow, surprised at what a great massage I got…especially for only $35?? I felt really bad not being able to tip, but I will definitely be going back. I usually go to a guy down at the Massage Place in Santa Monica but this is really a deal that I can’t pass up. The young man that worked on my back was very interested in what I needed work on, he identified immediately where the knots were and he was not afraid to really get the job done. I always love finding these great discoveries in LA that nobody else seems to know about.

  • Pros: quality, deep tissue, price, NOT ALLOWED TO TIP
  • Cons: none that i could tell

ONE OF THE BEST PRICED MASSAGES IN TOWN-

by SamoJoe at Citysearch

Don't be put off by the location of this wonderful place!

First, there is plenty of FREE parking in the underground garage - So even if your drive to CHAC was a bit of a road rage you have comfort in knowing, that a spot will be available. It's located on the 2nd floor and the entrance is just to the left of the stairs.

Once, you walk in your kindly greeted and as you have arrived for your set appointment, the WAIT is NO LONGER than 5 min.

As you are attending a college center there are no door enclosed massage rooms, it is nicely curtained sections with dim lighting and a very yoga-esque audio ambiance.

The massage therapist at CHAC have excellent hands and an unbelievable feel for the body. They start with a short conversation of what you are trying to achieve in the session. This allows them to pinpoint the areas you would like worked on, along with the proper amount of applied pressure. They are very competent in responding to the needs of the client.

You will leave CHAC, with a a loosely relaxed and floating on clouds feeling.

Recommended for those who are not looking to pay an arm and a leg and still feel like they need another session.

ONE OF THE BEST PRICED MASSAGES IN TOWN-

  • Pros: Great Touch, Great Price, No Drama Atmosphere
  • Cons: a bit of a drive for you hollywood people

If you want to be the best, learn here!

by passinthru at Citysearch

I'm actually giving a review of the school from a student perspective. As a recent graduate it's nice to see all the great feedback regarding the clinic program -- you're all right: it truly is the best deal in town with the cream-of-the-crop in training! (if I do say so myself)

Now, as to the school: The teachers -- who absolutely MAKE the school -- are quite simply the best. I have extremely high expectations when it comes to teachers who are not only giving lectures, but also training individuals -- and the staff at CHAC are phenomenal. They are working professionals, rather than career teachers and they each have something unique to offer. I have never worked with a more diverse, intelligent and talented group. They are able to communicate their skill to you, the student, with skill and empathy – each in their own particular way.

The office staff is everything I could have hoped for and more - efficient and quietly in the background, for the most part, but always there when you need them. The financial aid was painless and all my many questions were answered and all my apprehensions (my first student loans, after all!) were dealt with sympathetically.

The program is 720 hours, which is more than enough for most LA. area cities requirements (and hopefully also the future state license requirement) and the school has a wonderful professional reputation. They also encourage all varieties of vocations post-graduation: clinical and health-care fields, as well as private practice and spa environments. They encourage National Certification and care about what the student KNOWS, rather than simply what the student can perform. The clinic experience is one of the best ways to quickly learn what communication and customer service are all about, in addition to refining technique and gaining confidence. And the open practice time is a wonderful forum to talk with other students at varying levels of experience and gain insight into your own practice.

Also, the students are from a variety of backgrounds and are a variety of ages. I felt right at home, though in an older age bracket. I appreciated the diversity and genuine caring attitudes I found in many of the students of all ages. We all are working together!

So, long story long, if you are looking for a massage school that is nationally accredited and will prepare you (and then some) for a great career in Massage therapy, this is the place to go!

  • Pros: Fabulous Teachers
  • Cons: Location isn't posh, but is that a con?

Professional Massage, Student Price

by midivibe at Citysearch

This was a great treat for a great price! I can't afford to get a massage regularly but with the discounted rates at this school for professionals I was able to get a full hour for just 25 bucks my first time and 35 thereafter! Give it a shot. You'll be glad you did!

  • Pros: Best Price
  • Cons: Practitioners still developing skills
