I was looking for a good place for massage after I got rear-ended by a car. Acuspa got a good rating and therefore I made an appointment immediately. The front desk people were really nice and welcoming. The waiting area was decorated nicely with some interesting books.. including feng shui and Chinese horoscopes.. I have been to this place for massage twice and have to say that, like most spa, the quality of your experiences are greatly dependent of the masseuse. Both times I asked for deep tissue massage. The first time, after the massage, I felt like a new person and all my aches were gone. It was quite addicting and so I went for a second time. This time it was with another masseuse and ... my whole body was covered with massage oil and I did not get the same quality massage I had the first time... All in all, this is a very pleasant and clean place. If you happened to have a friend who knows the name of all the good masseuses, do ask! read more

I totally recommend this massage spa:) it was my 1st time trying the infrared sauna & it was truly relaxing. Great experience! Linda & Tony took awesome care of us here! read more

Went in with my sister to celebrate her birthday. I found this place through SpaFinder since we had gift cards we were looking to use. I called and was able to make a same day appointment which was wonderful. Really appreciated how accommodating they were. I received a Swedish massage and my sister selected the hot stone massage. We both were extremely pleased with our experiences. Everyone there is very professional, the rooms are clean, and the massages were very relaxing. Very comfortable massage tables, too. Tony who did my massage was superb. Prices are reasonable, especially for Pasadena. Highly recommend this place and I will be back! read more

This massage facility is by far my favorite out of any other I have been to. The atmosphere is always calm, soothing & Ware omg. The staff are so kind and always put the customer first. I have been coming here for the past couple of months and love it! Prices are affordable for college students as well. I always come after a hard day at work and school read more

I called AcuSpa for a massage because my shoulder was hurting. They got me in quickly and everyone was very friendly when I arrived. They also took every precaution regarding COVID-19. I had the most amazing massage ever!!! I definitely recommend this place and I will be back read more

AcuSpa is an exceptional little boutique spa in Pasadena with friendly, helpful staff and lovely amenities. In fact, I almost did not leave this review because I'm not sure I want the word to get out on this place! Having tried more than my fair share of spa treatments at various high-profile spas, AcuSpa has won my heart. Unpretentious, excellent customer service, and an A+ fantastic massage for a reasonable price. read more

I wanted to give this place at least a three to four star, unfortunately I couldn't give them beyond a two star for an authentic review; I went to the spa earlier this week before making an appointment to check out the space and talked to people who worked there; vibe was good, spa was clean, and I felt comfortable, so I made an appointment with Kevin, the owner. The lady I talked to raved about Kevin and said, "You should meet him." I decided to change my appointment from an acupuncture treatment to a massage, thinking my appointment was still with Kevin. Today I got to the spa and realized another massage therapist would be giving me a swedish massage instead. The actual massage I received was good, the two star was for the massage treatment I had. However I was not relaxed on the massage table, because they knew I was looking for an acupuncturist-massage therapist, later the receptionist said she mentioned I would be with somebody else over the phone when they called me to change the time of the appointment, I didn't hear that part of the information. If they were going to bump a new client because Kevin was having a busy day, that was not a good initial impression I have about a neighborhood spa. This is a disappointing appointment for me after looking around in Pasadena. I would be very glad to keep my awesome acupuncturist on Sunset Blvd even though it is a drive. You can't replace a good match just because the drive now is longer. Any therapeutic space that is serious about what it said it offers, they know how long it takes to establish a true therapeutic relationship with a new acupuncturist or therapist. I am waiting for California to do better. Trust was not properly established, changing therapist at the last minute is not attractive to new clients. They did not meet my needs. read more

Come check this place out, located right in Downtown Pasadena on Lake Avenue. They have all types of massages from there professionals who do a great job. Also they also have a massage school that teaches a program fit or a massage therapist. For all you people who want to save money, ask about the student massages they're very affordable about $30 an hour. You can't beat that price. Sometimes they have specials so don't miss out. I invited 7 of my coworkers and they loved it and will come back again! read more

You want to come here for post op lymphatic drainage massages Kevin and James are the best! They also have other services that I haven't tried out yet but definitely will be back! I was a little apprehensive at first when I found out a man was going to massage me for a lymphatic massage but I definitely felt VERY COMFORTABLE WITH BOTH! Thank you guys! read more

I love this place! The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. The young lady at the front desk who was working today Sunday March 30 received me with a warm welcome. This is the way to treat clients in all establishments. Acu spa is the place to go for health improvement benefits. read more

Very relaxing and peaceful. I went in for an infrared sauna treatment. I was gifted the treatment but I wouldn't go back for that. They did have other services that seemed interesting and I would like to try. I wouldn't go back for the infrared sauna because I can have a similar experience in the gym. Very friendly staff and a clean space. read more

The student massage offered at AcuSpa is a great value. I would recommend AcuSpa for those looking for a quality massage without the wallet emptying prices. read more

Came to Acuspa for the Lymphatic Message, Kevin was amazing! He is so informative of the process and is helping me improve my overall health with minerals and vitamins. I highly recommend Acuspa. Go see Kevin, u won't regret it. read more

The staff is very caring and informative. I just did acupuncture for the first time and will be returning. I can't wait to try some of the other treatments they offer. read more

Had a great experience. First time using an infrared sauna.. my boyfriend and I loved it and felt wonderful after.

I actually thought this was the best customer service I have received in years. I get weekly massages and this was AMAZING!!! I just had a double mastectomy 2 weeks ago (at 34) and all my post surgical swelling and pain went away!!! I felt so much better I'm going back on Wednesday for a follow up. I also got a facial and my skin is glowing. Worth a try!! read more

My daughter started going here for acupuncture because her doctor couldn't relieve her back pain. Kevin is great. He analyzes your entire body and physiology. Because of all of the information he collected, he was able to offer vitamins that would help with other problems. ( caffeine headaches, stress, mood) While her back problems aren't gone, they have gotten better and her other problems ( which we had no idea would even be addressed) have improved too! I love that he addresses the person as a whole. Makes sense. Wish I would have brought her here first instead of wasting money on several tests and physical therapy. read more

I came in not expecting anything and really loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed having my own 'quiet space'. Staff are very friendly and the place is clean with it's own parking. Be prepared to 'switch off' from the busy world :-). I liked it that much I already booked my next appointment. read more

I went to Acuspa yesterday for the first time and I had a great experience. There was plenty of parking in the back and the spa is just perfect for what I needed-a good massage. It's also very clean and the front desk was polite and followed up with me after my massage. I had a massage with Tony yesterday and I was very happy with the experience. He didn't talk during the massage (which is a huge turn off of mine), he was professional and took the time to ask me what was going on with my body beforehand. And the massage was awesome. I really enjoyed the scalp massage at the end. Very great pricing too! They also sell my favorite supplement line here, Standard Process. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I would also recommend Tony as your therapist! read more

I am a feel type of person. The place has to feel right and comfortable. I have to trust the place, staff and energy before I let go, relax and enjoy the experience. AcuSPa is the place. I have a regular place that I go to and will be switching to AcuSpa. read more

i love massages. i love giving massages and of course, i LOVE receiving them! and i've definitely been needing a great massage for quite some time. i found this place while researching some massage therapy schools. it is located in the south lake avenue area, a part of pasadena that i had not ventured out to before. the little plaza is very cute and filled with other interesting little shops. the spa is on the second floor. you can feel the relaxed atmosphere once you walk in. the girl at the front desk is very friendly. they offer you a drink and have you sit in the waiting area. i made an appointment for a student massage. it's a great deal - $40 for a 60 min deep tissue massage! i am very hard to please when it comes to massages and my massage therapist, emily, did not disappoint me at all. the big stress balls in my shoulders actually felt better for the day. i will definitely be coming back! parking can be a nightmare depending on the time of day. pasadena is a busy city! there is free street parking for 2 hours. read more

This was a great experience! The spa was clean, the staff was kind and professional and the massage was AMAZING. There's also free 2 hour parking in the back. I'll definitely be back. read more

Okay so I had my first massage here and it was great. My therapist was Rita and she was so sweet and really took all my comments into consideration. read more

As another client mentioned, AcuSpa is a gem in Pasadena. I primarily take an holistic approach to my health whenever medical attention is needed. I was searching for a place that performs lymphatic drainage massages, per a recommended treatment by a health guru friend of mine. After scouring local places on Yelp and reading reviews, I decided to give AcuSpa a try. I am so fortunate I did. Upon arrival on my first day, an overall health questionnaire was filled out. Based on my answers, two different health supplements were recommended (and a third, for a specific issue of daily swelling). I was not pressured to purchase them, which I greatly appreciated. Long story put very short, my daily swelling has been addressed and aided by one of the supplements, my sinus issues have improved (I can now blow my nose daily and have mucus be relieved from my sinuses instead of trapped), and most importantly my mood (agitation, frustration, anxiety, and my inability to relax) has had a major improvement (this became especially apparent in local, horrid traffic that I was naturally taking it in stride, so not my norm!). Who knew a lack of essential minerals (yes, minerals) could have such a major impact on one's health. Kevin is amazing and full of knowledge. He runs his business out of passion, which is apparent after just one session with him. I recently got a pinched nerve in my lower back and am returning for an acupuncture session to address it. I cannot convey how grateful I am to find a place like AcuSpa that is close by, to address my health and relaxation needs. I highly recommend AcuSpa. Give them a shot and I'm sure you will be pleased too. (P.S. I highly recommend Standard Process' Min-Tran supplements!) read more

This place is hands down, the coolest place I have discovered in the past few years!!! I ended up here with my Groupon as I was searching online for Acupuncture. I had an ankle injury that wouldn't heal- Sprain on my left ankle that reoccurred twice more and torn ligaments. I had been in an air cam walker, a boot, on crutches and a super restricted for over a year when a friend told me to try Acupuncture. I had seen so many doctors and been to the orthopedic surgeons, tried physical therapy, and just about everything else so Acupuncture it was. I decided to make my first appt, the staff was very nice and helpful in setting up the appt as they were also after I continued my treatments there. My very first appointment and we went over a health evaluation, I was very impressed by the knowledge Kevin shared with me that day. I do a lot of reading about body and nutrition myself but he expressed how nutrition was a key factor in my healing so I was given a form to keep track of my food intake for the next week. I mentioned to him, how I was terrified of the surgery that the Orthopedic wanted to do in February. Anyway, Long story short about 3 appointments later between weekly acupuncture and supplements and an improved diet- I not only felt good overall but I can feel the difference in my ankle, and now about 5 months (Nov.) of treatment I am out of my boot, healed and prevented surgery. I went to the old location initially on Lake and followed them to the new location on Colorado, the place is clean, the front staff is very nice, Kevin is beyond knowledgeable, and they have parking in the back!! I need a refills on some of my supplements, so I will be stopping by soon. Happy Holidays Guys :-) read more

we got a couples massage last week. i was so excited because i thought it was going to be all romantic and different than other massages. well, no. haha. so we started off by getting into our robes and slippers. which was nice, some places don't offer this. the waiting area was small with only four chairs, but it was very comfortable. they had blankets, hand warmers, water, books, and low lighting. they gave us the paraffin wax to make our hands soft. it was a pretty neat experience, although our hands didn't feel any different once we left the joint. also, good luck keeping your robe closed with those mitts on your hands. just pray that the lighting is dark enough so noone gets a peek at the goods :o) the couples room was tiny! the door opened up to hit the massage table that i was on. also, our heads were facing away from each other! how romantic :oT. my therapist was so-so. he was super duper nice. he didn't provide a lot of pressure at first. and when he finally asked me how the pressure was, it was kinda too late. my fault though, i really should speak up. it was funny cuz my bf said he barely felt his therapist massaging him. and in the end, she came up to us and said she gave him more pressure because he's a guy. weird. we paid and included tip on the credit card. my bf's therapist came out and was talking super awk ward to us waiting for us to tip her. i probably wouldn't go back. they give you a $15 credit towards your next massage for filling out a comment card. not sure if i'll do it. but i will say that they had great customer service.... everyone was super jolly and had very soothing "masseuse" voices. :o) read more

Love the spa's new addition - Gua Sha - the ancient Chinese art of myofascial release!...Which involves scraping the skin, especially the back and shoulders to release toxins, improve flexibility and most of all REMOVES STRESS! Did I mention - removes stress? Years of hunkering over computers, no matter what form of other exercise I'd try, could not release the holding patterns between my skin and muscles - thus making my tension hard to get rid of even with the deepest massage. But the very next day after my Gua Sha - I was doing yoga poses and stretches that I swear I haven't and couldn't do for years. I'm not missing a beat -- I'm going every week for this...after my infrared...a great duo...open up with heat, scrape off the toxins and body holding patterns with Gua Sha.....If anyone wants to get me a Christmas gift - get me a gift certificate for more of these!!! read more

I loved this place the first time I came, second time was a little disappointing. It is really tiny, but very relaxing. The dimly lit waiting room has the most comfortable chairs with little lumbar support pillows. I almost felt like I didn't need a message anymore after sitting for a few minutes. The massage was one of the best I have ever had, and cheaper than anywhere else I have found in LA. $75. After your massage they give you a warm, wet towel to wipe off any excess oil so you don't leave all greasy. I filled out a survey after my first massage in order to receive a $15 discount on my next service. There was some sort of computer glitch, so I didn't actually receive the certificate until 4 months later. I went for a second massage last week and tried to use the belated certificate that had expired 3 weeks earlier, and they wouldn't accept it!! As great as the massage was, I have to take of a star because that is just bad business. I probably won't go back because of that. read more

This place was fantastic. I highly recommend Terry; she worked out some knots in my shoulder that made me feel like a new person. The spa is cozy and friendly. Alisisa at the front desk made me feel right at home when I walked in to set up my first appointment. I will definitely return. read more

I love the massages there! Annie is wonderful. I used to get a lot of massages around the area, but Annie is one of the best! I've been there a few times and she's always consistent and pressure is perfect! If you have back issues like mine, you won't regret going to see Annie at AcuSpa. read more

Well, I have the awful luck of carrying all stress on my neck/shoulders. I awoke yesterday morning and couldn't even move. I was in such pain. I went to work and the pain grew more and more intense. I called Acuspa in the afternoon to see if they had an opening...4pm...I'll be there! I was a bit hesitant in spending money on a massage because in the past the magic fingers never relieved any of the pain. But I was desperate. All I can say is WOW! I told Emily to focus more on my neck/shoulders (I didn't want a full body massage). She did deep tissue and the pressure was perfect. When the hour was over I couldn't believe how I felt. I literally felt WAY better. Not completely healed but definitely not feeling the pain I had an hour earlier. Today I feel great. I would say I'm about 90% better. I'm thankful to Emily and would definitely go back to her in a heartbeat! read more

I was driving by and saw that they were having a deal for a couples massage for valentine's day. I thought it would be a good idea to have my bf and I spend some quality time in relaxation. When I called in to schedule the appointments, they were beyond convenient and helpful. They were able to work with both of our schedules and we were able to go in the next day. When we arrived, both of our massage beds were covered in rose pedals, it was so beautiful. The atmosphere was great. Everything was very intimate and romantic. On top of everything, the massage therapists were SO amazing. They were very responsive towards my requests and I got a perfect massage based on my needs. I am in love with the couples massage! It was the perfect way to treat me and my love. Both of us agreed, we are definitely going to go back sometime very soon!! read more

AcuSpa has been the only spa I go to for the last 4 years. However, I am quitting them. I have had very good therapists and some that were just so/so. My complaint is about scheduling. After a good experience, I book a reservation with the same therapist for the following week. Recently I have had a series of letdowns: 1. booked a repeat visit but some how it never got into the book so was turned away after driving 1/2 hour.. 2. booked a repeat visit with Kevin and on day of visit received a call he was not available and that I would have to reschedule (had taken a day off work for visit). 3. booked a repeat visit and got a substitute rather than person I booked with. It doesn't matter how great the service is if you can't get the service in the first place. read more

Therapeutic vibe, friendly staff, great massages geared towards holistic wellness. Their new infrared sauna therapy is wonderful. I heard Oprah and Dr. Oz talking about infrared sauna for weight loss, detox, treating depression and anxiety. Kevin, the master masseur, is also a nutritionist. He has me on a plan on supplements, organics, and herbal cleanse that's helped turn my health around. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing for a relaxing massage and infared sauna. We came for the Valentine's Day deal and it was only $150. Great price for my husband and I to enjoy a relaxing day. They gave great advice on how to heal your mind body and soul. We came out of their relaxed and very impressed. read more

I have been seeing Kevin for acupuncture and am very satisfied. It has helped me much with my neck, headaches, hormones and sleep. My last acupuncture, I fell asleep because the atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful, I woke up after Kevin walked in the room. I normally don't fall into a deep sleep and forget where I am but the perfectly relaxing atmosphere was able to achieve that. Kevin is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met for a massage and acupuncture, he will review you entire medical history prior to starting. Absolutely satisfied and would personally recommend Acuspa to anyone looking for a good massage, or acupuncture. You will learn a lot about your body. read more

Super nice little spa. Very relaxing atmosphere and superb staff, from the receptionist to the masseuse. Great pricing and monthly offers. A gem!! read more

I went to AcuSpa a few weeks ago and got one of the student massages. I hafta admit i was a little wary about the whole process since i've never had a massage before and didnt particulary feel very comfortable shedding my clothes in a small enclosed space with a guy. BUT...i hafta say i was very pleasantly surprised...they were very professional and the massage felt soooo good! the only reason i took a star off was because when they massage your head, their hands are still super oily from the massage oils and i walked out of their feeling like a million bucks but oily from head to toe, with a strong emphasis on HEAD. (i felt like i dunked my head & hair in a bucket of oil) Maybe not their fault, but it did take away a little from my experience. i'd definetly go back but maybe bring a hat or at least a hair tie with me! read more

My wife loves Kevin, and I have yet to try him, but can highly recommend Bree, who has strong and remarkably intuitive hands. If I'm in pain or just a bit stiff, this is where I go. read more

AcuSpa is a VERY reasonably priced luxury spa located in Pasadena. The Spa Director is EXTREMELY personable and just such a welcoming and caring person. I definitely recommend checking it out, or purchasing a few gift certificates for gifts! read more
