What also stood out to me was that after the massage they used hot rocks, and stretched your body out. Bathrooms were also clean, as well as the rest of the place. I'll definitely be back!

I asked for a deep tissue and boy did I get it ! Her forceful strokes really workout my stubborn knots. It felt incredible. My bestie got a deep tissue from Young and he just raved about how great she was! He reported back that her firm and deep strokes were the good kind of hurt. We both agreed that after the ladies truly went deep in order to release muscle tension the hot stones were the cherry on top. Overall, such a soothing experience, we are relaxed and so ready to enjoy Thanksgiving break with family and friends.

In my opinion best massage location in Bakersfield and I've been to quite a few, there's only one…read moreother that can compare however the massage therapist here are very friendly and ask what is bothering you and focus mostly on that to allow you the best experience. The gentleman at the front desk is running that place better than most people I've seen run a massage therapy business. He even takes text messages up into a certain part of the evening after the business is closed to try to fit you in and knows what his opens are within 5 to 10 minutes of you texting them. I would love to gate keep this place to myself but I know that they don't need my endorsement for the great things that happen here. Though I won't gate keep the location I will gate keep my therapist (for now) However if I know you personally message me and I'll tell you who she is.. Overall the only place I'll be going to in 2026 unless something changes.

I really wanted to leave a fully positive review because I genuinely enjoyed my massage. The…read moreenvironment was incredibly calming, and my masseuse, Karen, was wonderful. Unfortunately, the experience at checkout completely changed how I felt leaving. When I booked over the phone, I specifically stated that I would be using a gift certificate. Nothing was disclosed at that time about an additional charge. After my massage, I was told I owed an extra $10 because of the age of my gift certificate. I questioned the charge, and ultimately I was not charged the additional $10, but only after I pushed back and questioned why I owed anything at all. The certificate was purchased in December 2024 and states "4x massages," not a dollar amount to be applied toward massages. Hands of Joy has also not increased its massage prices since the certificate was purchased. What concerned me even more was that after I questioned the charge, additional wording was handwritten onto my gift certificate that had not been there when it was originally purchased or given to me. I will be attaching a photo of the certificate for transparency. Terms added after a gift certificate has already been purchased are obviously not terms the purchaser could have agreed to at the time of purchase. I am away for school for months at a time, so naturally it can take me longer to use a multi-massage gift certificate. Being made to feel as though that was somehow an issue, especially over a gift that had already been paid for, took me from feeling completely relaxed to feeling frustrated and belittled. My biggest concern is for customers who may simply pay an unexpected charge without questioning it. California has specific protections surrounding purchased gift certificates, including restrictions on expiration dates and service fees. I would encourage anyone using an older gift certificate anywhere to understand its original terms and ask questions before paying an unexpected additional fee. Karen and the massage itself were wonderful, and I genuinely wish that had been the entirety of my experience. Unfortunately, the way the gift certificate was handled at checkout, and having wording added to it afterward, left a disappointing impression.

My wife purchased gift cards for me as a birthday gift. Three card, one hour massages, she paid…read moreLilly $160 cash. I was able to use only ONE card. Other times when I would try to make an appointment to use the other two cards she was "busy". One time she did "allow" me to make an appointment. As I was driving over for the pre-paid appointment, she called me back. At Mohawk and Rosedale she canceled my appointment and told me that she had another prior appointment for my timeslot. Buyer beware, once Lilly has money up front you may not get the massages that were paid for. Such a scandalous transaction with this lady!! Shady rip off perpetrated on me and my wife!!

I made an appointment for the 90 minute hot stone massage and upon my arrival, Karen got right to work. Karen worked every muscle in my back to try and get some movement for me.

This was the best money I ever spent on myself and I will be making this a part of my workout/recovery routine! Thank you Karen! I look forward to my next appointment.

She was so in depth with her work that I legitimately felt her breath on my ass crack. I even caught her whispering something down there but I couldn't exactly make out what she said.

The staff always come in clutch in popping those knots when needed. You tell them or they ask you which part you need more focus on and they will deliver. They are very friendly, welcoming and super respectful. They are experienced and knowledgeable and they know their stuff. My husband and I would always get deep tissue massages and they are the best! The place is clean and organized and so relaxingggg (other spots are always too loud / chaotic lol). Highly recommend this place for relaxation, stress and pain relief.
