The Massage Place

05/01/2008 Posted by bebeShopGrl

I love this place, great atmosphere, friendly service, and the price is ridiculously good. Especially since since it's not just one of those feel good massages, it was a real serious deep tissue massage. I feel like I have a different back! I would hate to have to share him, but ask for Chad, his hands are soooooooooooo strong!

The first time I went here the massage was okay but they shorted me fifteen minutes. I complained about it and the owner called me, was very nice, insisted on giving me a free massage. I said that was okay, and that I would try them again. So I did. The second time was mediocre but I had the same masseuse as the first time and figured I'd try someone else. This is third and last time. Not only was I shorted time again, but the massage was so awful that I actually had bruises on my back. I told her to lighten up, but it was like I she was working on a rag doll. She also spent too much time on the one side then rushed to finish me, and didn't massage my front legs at all. When she said the massage was over I was surprised because she didn't finish me, but then again, I was relieved.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not a good massage and I tried it THREE times

I got a one hour massage, but asked the therapist to focus on specific areas rather than try to get it all in. I really appreciated how she listened to me and made the hour exactly what I hoped for, perfect for my specific needs.

I just had a massage there, about 2 weeks ago. It was spectacular !!! The place is so cute and clean, and the massage was the best i've had in years. The staff is so friendly, they even offer you change for the meters if you need to park, and all the licorice you can eat. The price is out of this world, and I'm so addicted. Everyone should try them, you will be blown away.

Pros: friendly staff, excellent massages, free parking, very affordable

Cons: time flies when your having fun

I searched the internet looking for a nice massage at a nice price. But the massage place exceeded my expectations. The massage rooms are very large and nice with music, candles, light dimmers, and very comfy tables. My massage therapist was very professional and nice. He was execellent at draping the sheets to make sure that I was never over exposed. And the oils that he used left my skin baby soft and smelled wonderful. I can't wait to go back!

Pros: The price

Cons: Nothing Fancy

This is the best place! I was never able to afford massaged before I found The Massage Place. Now I can get an entire hour for half the price of every other place. The best thing is they are professional, the place is clean, and it's right off the boulevard.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Not too much parking

OMG!!! This Place is a treasure, that all I have to say about that !!! Everytime I get a massage there, it seems better then the last. I've had like everyone and I've never been disappointed!!! Its such a cute little place, I want to open one! Try it, the owner is sooo chill, he seriously makes you so relaxed and he just wants people to be happy, staff is soo friendly! What a treat, that we have one in the valley!!!

Pros: Such a bargain!!!

Cons: That I can't take them home with me!

From the service on the phone to the serene atmosphere inside, The Massage Place was a great find for me. Now, they say no "spa atmosphere" but it was just as relaxing, peaceful and tranquil as Glen Ivy or Burke Williams without the "high-falootin & saditty" prices or snobby staff even though they're nestled on the very chic & curb appeal area off Ventura. Their staff is completely professional, warm and inviting. I recently had a baby and gained 100+ lbs after a very difficult pregnancy. I was apprehensive about my body and the staff and therapist made me feel as if I were a size 2 (and that ain't no easy feat!) The only regret - I wish I would've known about them for a pregancy massage!

Pros: price, ambience & service

Cons: parking, no wine and no pedicures =0(

Okay ~ I used to work there... I work at the Spa in Equinox now... but I can honestly say bobbie11 is smoking cr@ck :D They do take a credit card number, but only for first time bookings and just to hold your spot. If you need to cancel... there is a 24 hour policy. (All massage companies have this including Equinox where I now work) Ironicly though, they are actually really lenient with that policy letting people off if they are sick or something comes up as long as they dont call right before their massage. I personally wish they werent lenient. All the therapists there are payed by the massage and if you dont show up, then they arent payed. As for the experience range of therapists, its everything from recently out of school to 10 years in practice or more. Each therapist is evaluated as an individual and at least for myself, I had to actually give a massage to 2 seperate people (one of which was the owner) for evaluation. All and all the place was a great place to work with a lot of quality people. I simply moved on because you dont make a lot there. :) I hope this is helpful to anyone looking to check it out. (Honestly it is still where I go when I get massage) So yeah ~ ignore bobbie11 :P (Hes probably POed cuz he kept flaking on appointments and finally got charged for one haha)

Pros: Great massage... and pretty damn cheap! ~ Not a shady place -- very clean

Cons: Kinda doctor office like? ~ Be nice to have tapestries and stuff to make it more zen! :D

The Massage Place has the right idea. I am not a big massage lover, however, I will say for the price and service it is a deal. The staff is very friendly and accommadating, the all around service and experience is impecible, and I have tons of money left over for shoes.....naturally, because being that I am a female in LA, I don't need money for food, just kidding. I will go back again and again, totally worth it!

Pros: Enough money left over for shoes!

Cons: The shoes I like are very expensive!
