I work at a desk all day and my muscles tend to cramp and spasm easily. So massage is more than relaxation for me. It's a necessity for my physical well-being. In the past, it always seemed like I needed to choose between relaxation and real tissue work. Not anymore - I've discovered Aiko Spa. I've searched far and wide for a massage therapist who: 1.) LISTENS - ever told a masseuse, "Please work on my neck/shoulders", they nod and then give it the same emphasis as your calves? It's so frustrating. That never happens with Aiko Spa. 2.) IS ACTUALLY GOOD AT MASSAGE - some hands just aren't born equal. Mai Linh - the owner and who I call a massage goddess/rockstar - is very talented. That distinguishes her techniques from all other massage therapists who have worked on me. Mai Linh is able to listen to your body and make a tailored connection to give you a massage that your body needs. It's like she picks up signals with her hands and she responds appropriately. Massage is an art. It's no use to just apply the same kneading motion, press this pressure point and that if you can't hear what your client's body is asking for. Mai Linh is an accomplished artist in that important respect. 3.) RELAXES YOU WHILE TRULY WORKING YOUR TISSUE - I no longer need to choose between relaxing and working through my muscle knots. Mai Linh does both. 4.) PERSONABLE, RESPECTFUL, FRIENDLY, CONSIDERATE - this is a mobile spa service so clearly, it's important that the therapist is someone you'd be comfortable with welcoming into your home. Mai Linh is outgoing, so nice, has a good sense of humor and, this just shows her level of professionalism, she knows when to chat with you to get to know you and when to give you quiet time so you can fully experience the pampering. 5.) TAKES PRIDE IN HER WORK - Mai Linh is a savvy entrepreneur who really thinks about her clients' needs. So she has high standards. She really takes care of you. She also comes equipped with some excellent relaxation music! Even my husband who is extremely hard to please and tends to walk out of a massage like it had no effect other than remind him he just wasted an hour of his time - he came out of Mai Linh's massage looking like a knob of softened butter. We're both booking Mai Linh for weekly sessions now. If you like being in your home and what you're looking for is a top notch massage, do yourself a favor and book a session with Mai Linh. read more

Mai Linh is amazing!! My back pain i had for about 5 days was erased by her in under an hour. And 24 hours later i still feel amazing. From the choice of aromatherapy to the music to the direct and VERY effective massage, Mai Linh and Aiko Spa were 100% legit and professional. Recommended 1000%!!!!! read more

GREAT SERVICE! I travel a lot and get expensive massages all around the world so I know a great massage when I get one and this is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Not to mention, I don't have to leave my house. Mai Linh took care of me. She was professional and helpful without being annoying and yappy. She advised me on my back/neck pain and answered questions I had. Stand outs of the massage that I appreciate..... Warm stone on my abdomen, a soothing neck and shoulder massage NOT HARD AND PAINFUL like the ones you usually get at the cheaper places, and good quality organic products used. Yes, you can pay less somewhere else, but you will not get the professional service and quality treatment that you will find with Aiko Spa. I would much rather spend $100 for a quality massage with Mai Linh than $60 for one where I don't feel FULLY relaxed. I don't know about you, but when I get a massage, it's a treat to myself. I want it to be a special experience and everything to run smoothly from start to finish. Aiko Spa delivers that experience and then some! I will request her services again and I recommend to anyone! read more

Awfully deceptive. Mai-linh uses deceptive practices such as taking stock photos that do not belong to her from other clinics. When you enter her clinic, it is nothing like the pictures and is not nearly as spectacular as her website or instagram shows. When you visit her website, you will notice the amount of effort she had put in her 1 page wix website is dismal. Here is the address: https://aikowellness.wixsite.com/aboutme . Note that is the amount of effort she will put into your massage and then charge you $60. It's not worth it, and because her practice is so deceptive it almost felt like a scam. NEVER AGAIN. Trust me, easy reviews are easy to come by from friends and family but the service was so terrible and left me skeptical that I had to write a review to save you your time and money! read more

It's summer and I'm hot on the heels of a new Balzac, two tubes through my favorite Blood Orange + White Pepper, and coming off a sensational in-home massage. I scheduled two hours with Aiko Spa and made it a morning with my good friend J (who came bearing lattes) and those instant cinnamon rolls that come in the pop-open tube (just watch me try those from scratch...er) I threw the French doors open for some sunshine and converted my office into a temporary massage room. After J's session, I settled in for the knot-unwinding so dearly needed. Mai-Linh worked out the muscle stress accumulated through numerous bad habits, reversing the imposition of my desk chair and strained posture. The hour flew and I was so thoroughly reset that a frozen Snickers seemed the next prudent decision. Which, for anyone indulged in chocolate or massage, such sensible choices are well-reasoned.. read more

This review is long overdue, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I have nothing but kudos and accolades for Mai-Linh at Aiko Spa. She is simply AMAZING! Several months ago, I reached out to her to provide spa services as a gift to my admin staff. She was very courteous, diligent, professional and flexible. I appreciated her attention to detail and her willingness to help make this a special moment for my staff. Now, about the services....my admin staff was elated and very pleased with their spa treatments. They talked about the experience for several weeks. Quite as it is kept, many of them are still talking and giggling about the experience. I can't thank Mai-Linh enough for helping me bring me pull this off for my staff. She is AWESOME. If you are thinking about trying her, DO IT. It will be worth every penny. read more

This was a great service, Mai Linh seemed to find all of my pains without me saying much of anything. She asked me where I would like her to concentrate her efforts in the massage, I told her I was had been suffering some knee pains. After a general full body massage, she worked on my legs loosened some muscles that were over compensating for bad knees and she really provided me with some much needed relief. When it was all over, I felt rejuvenated, relaxed and refreshed. Mai Linh had a caring personality, she was punctual and professional. She seems to have a healing touch that comes natural to her. I will definitely be booking another treatment with Aiko Spa. The fact that they are mobile is the cherry on top. I don't know what else to say, but thank you Mai Linh and Aiko Spa. read more

Horrible business practices. I purchased a gift card for a friend in December of 2012. She has still not received her $110 massage. My friend and I have called multiple times to no avail. I even asked for a refund, but Mai told me she could not refund a gift card, yet still has not provided service. I called once again to allow her the opportunity to either reimburse me or finally provide my friend a massage, with no answer...over a year later. I have never experienced such substandard business practices. As an owner of two businesses myself, I cannot imagine how this is allowed to happen. I wish there was some kind of recourse. Please be aware and careful when purchasing gift cards through this company. Do not pay for services before they are rendered.....they never will be. read more

Based on the Yelp reviews here, I recommended this mobile spa service to my wife to offer a gift certificate as a present for her brother's birthday. To my surprise, this has been difficult and awkward from the start. 1) The certificate which was ordered and payed for (with a generous tip), a month before his birthday was not sent, despite repeated reminders. Eventually the wrong certificate arrived (one hour massage instead of one and a half). The owner promised to send a new one right away, but it was sent to the wrong address, so it arrived too late for his birthday. 2) My wife and the owner agreed on a half an hour refund for the inconvenience. After many apologies and excuses this was refunded. read more

Just had a hot stone massage provided by my office. It was only five minutes and I had my doubts as to what change could happen in five minutes but, I was blown away. She did more in a few minutes than others do with half an hour. The music and the aroma therapy were great as well. Everyone in the office is raving about her. In a perfect world, she'd come back every week. read more

Mai Linh worked her magic for my sister-in-laws "bachelorette" massage and body wrap. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about her! She was prompt, neat, comfortable, and professional. I was very pleased with the content and ease my sis felt after her treatment. She bragged to everyone about her massage and body wrap, saying how relieving of stress it was especially right before her wedding. Thanks Aiko Spa! I would recommend you any day to anyone!! read more

I wanted to do something different for my girlfriend's baby shower so I decided on getting them all massages. A very beautiful and dear friend recommended Aiko Wellness and I immediately called them. From the initial conversation, I knew I made the right decision. I spoke with owner, Mai Linh and she put me right at ease. So when the day came and the masseuses showed up, I expected nothing but good things. I didn't get that though. I got great things! If you need a massage company for a party or corporate event, call Aiko Wellness immediately. I love them! You will too! read more

Amazing service, punctual, comes to your home so it's more relaxing. I had the scrub and tan summer package.. It was great! It smelled like I was in an island paradise! Will deffinelty be calling for more appointments! read more

I have a gift card to get a free lesson in massage therapy (not even getting a massage), and I have called at least 5-6 times in the last 2 weeks, and have gotten NO RESPONSE. From reading the other reviews, and looking at the time stamp, it seems like the business may even be closed. I can't even get ahold of someone for a refund. read more

Just finished a massage with the Aiko Spa and I loved every minute of it. Not to mention it was performed here at my office on my lunch. I am a very busy person and to have the staff come to me was amazing. They are very knowledgeable in their craft and explained to me every step of the way what they were doing and why. In addition, gave me tips to maintain a stress free work day and tricks to work out the kinks myself. I am very impressed with this service and highly recommend them! read more

If you love chocolate and spa treatments, you've got to try the Godiva Chocolate Cream Bliss treatment from Aiko Spa. It's mud/scrub/massage combo that smells just a heavenly as it feels. Once Mai-Linh was done with me I was like a very sweet smelling, soft mound of putty, and the fact that the treatment comes with a complimentary chocolate to actually eat at the end was like the cherry on the cake. And for those who think this sounds a little too messy for their living rooms, rest assured Mai-Linh is well versed in the art of containing the mud and scrub to her clients only. She's an incredibly talented massage therapist with a sunny disposition and a heart of gold. Book her and you won't be disappointed. read more

Thanks to all the wonderful reviews, I gave Aiko Spa for a much needed massage. I was able to schedule a same day appointment with Rick. Rick showed up on time and was very professional. We discussed the areas where I was having issues with and Rick said he would focus on these areas. I had a wonderful deep tissue massage that greatly help the areas where I was experiencing pain. I am feeling so much better and have complete mobility of my left arm. Thank You Rick. Excellent service, great staff! I highly recommend Aiko Spa to everyone. Worth every penny and services are provided in your own home too! Thank you again, Christine read more

Really enjoyed my facial and massage package with Aiko Spa, plus I just really liked talking with Mai Linh. She is super personable and really made me feel relaxed. Her massage was attentive and truly relaxing. And, it is so nice to have it all come to you instead of the stress of going somewhere, finding parking and then having to deal with LA drivers and traffic afterwards. Aiko Spa is definitely worth it! read more

As a treat to my sister, I had Mai Linh come to my place and work her magic. My sister bragged about her treatment so much, I had to book an appointment for myself. Mai Linh was amazing - she listened to what I said and really zoned in on my problem areas. She was gentle, yet knew when to work the kneads out. It was also nice that I didn't have to leave my house. She provided all the necessities to make you feel relaxed and pampered. If you want to feel like queen for a day, call Aiko Spa now for some serious rest n' relaxation! read more

The Body scrub and 1 hour massage was excellent and they came to the house so relaxing!

Got another awesome treatment from Aiko Spa! Amazing body scrub leaving you feeling as soft as a baby's bottom! Then nice and hydrated from neck to toe, as if your enitre body took drank a huge glass of water... Then the yes-fake, no-bake tan! A gel that goes on clear and dries into sunkissed skin! ALL of which, smell AMAZING! I left the room while Mai-Linh set up, and the minute I walked back into the room, it smelled like I was at the beach! It instantly mellowed my mind and put me in my own little beachy zen state. I plan on having these beachy treatments as often as I need to keep me looking like Summer in the Winter! read more

Wow, I just had the best 1 hour massage I've ever had! Mai Linh is just the best massage therapist in Los Angeles! Her technique is truly "Art In Motion" and she even comes right to your home or office with equipment in tow -- what a treat! She provides both soft and deep tissue massages that are so wonderful that you never want her to leave. Everyone should treat their bodies to this incredible experience at least once a month. BRAVO for exceeding all of my expectations! read more

Mai Linh is amazing. Not only is she a fantastic masseuse, but she is incredibly caring and friendly. I first had Mai Linh come to give me a massage when I was dealing with a particularly painful (but not at all contagious) illness. She listened attentively to what was wrong, completely accomodated her massage to make sure I was absolutely comfortable, and still gave me the best massage I have ever had. She's come back regularly ever since, and she calls in between massages to check in on me. I'm feeling remarkably better, and I credit Mai Linh and her magic hands and wonderful spirit for the faster-than-expected recovery. In addition, the prices are completely reasonable (the same or less than nearby spas that require you to come to them!), and she has deals for you if you buy a package of a number of massages. read more

I used Aiko Mobile Wellness Spa for teacher appreciation and my staff loved the Hot Stone Massages. 10 minute massages...who knew??? I strongly recommend them for your mobile spa needs. read more

Arrived to my house on time and turned my bedroom into a spa! She's very professional and very knowledgeable in her work. I will deffinetly be calling her again! read more

This review is long overdue!! I get regular mobile massages from a variety of their staff and they're all fantastic, such a great price for the quality of their treatment. Their massages are so good that I've purchased several spa gift certificates for friends over the years. This year I got my mom a gift certificate for the Mother's Day Special spa treatment, which she hasn't stop gushing about. Dad is getting one next week for Father's day. If you're looking for a mobile massage in Los Angeles CALL THEM NOW, TRUST ME! read more

Very relaxing massage! It was convenient because the masseuse come to my house. I had a standard 1-hour massage and the masseuse was very talented. read more

I found Mai-Linh on yelp myself while looking for a new massage therapist to come to my house. Her reviews seems perfect for me and after one session I was hooked. She is always punctual and professional. Very friendly and knows how to give an awesome massage. What more can you ask for. You must give her a try! read more

I have used Aiko spa twice... once for my husband (a massage) and once for me (a facial and a massage). Mai Linh is so great. First off... I have to give kuds for the wonderful ointments and ingredients she uses.... all natural and organic and they smell UNBELIEVABLE... Next, we both enjoyed all her services.... including the add ons like the parafin treatments for hand and feet . Would definitely recommend her when you want to splurge on yourself. read more

Mai Linh is fantastic!! I searched for months to find a mobile masseuse for my 86 year old mother, who is in assisted living. I live 4 hours away from my mother so I needed to find someone I could trust with my mother and someone she liked. Mai Linh is all that and more. She is prompt, professional, trustworthy and very kind. My mother is not easy to please, but she loves Mai Linh and her massages. Thanks to Mai Linh my mother is pampered twice a week and my mind is at ease knowing she is in GOOD HANDS! Thanks Mai Linh!!! read more
