I explained to her that I have scoliosis and she knew exactly what areas to concentrate on without me having to tell or show her - not only that but she is STRONG for sure - this is the type of treatment that works on my body and may not work for others. As a client, I always voice when something is too deep to the point of pain but therapists do not know our threshold - it's important to be communicative during treatment. Some areas I couldn't tolerate so Annie moved on but in the areas that deep pressure was required - she spent more time on. Also - don't let the exterior fool you! The massage parlor is in an area that felt a little sketchy to me but as soon as I opened the doors, I was comfortable and super excited for the thai massage experience. Slept like a baby after the treatment and will definitely be back

I was falling asleep and almost drooling half way through the session lolol I honestly didn't realize how much I needed this massage. 20/10 experience, I will definitely be back! Thank you Eve!!

One hour is a good amount of time to relax, without feeling rushed. I do wish they provided robes and slippers as it can be inconvenient to use the outside bathrooms if you're already wet. Pro tip: keep your shoes/socks slightly elevated to keep them dry when you go in/out of the various water sources. If management is reading this, consider having a shoe rack in the tub rooms so that shoes and socks don't accidentally get wet and lotion in the bathrooms.

The massage was extremely painful from start to finish--honestly, the entire hour felt unbearable. I've had many massages before and have never experienced anything like this. She mainly focused on my back and didn't even do a proper full body massage. When I got home, my back was still hurting badly, and my husband checked and saw visible bruising. I couldn't believe I stayed the whole time. I went in hoping to relieve tension and left feeling worse. I don't feel confident in the therapist's technique and won't be returning.

I've been to dozens of different reflexology / chinese type massage places over the last 20 years,…read morebut Avee 9 is clearly the best place by a LOT. Now it should be understood that I like a massage that some would consider way too hard. I want the mass of the titanic with the anger of a teenager thrust into my back with explosive force. This is obviously not for everyone. Jennifer and Yoyo ( I am probably spelling them incorrectly ) are soooooo good at what they do. Both of them can do a walk on back technique without a towel covering that allows them to dig their heels into my lower back while sliding them forward while using oil. It's incredible. When they switch to their hands you can feel them hunting for knots, discovering issues and working them out. If they do happen to miss something just ask. They are happy to help. There are many common issues I see with some other Chinese reflexology places. Those issues include uneven massaging ( ex: rubbing the right shoulder blade for 4 minutes then skipping the left ), extremely light pressure, no knowledge of proper pressure points, using too much oil, loud bickering in chinese between co-workers, unstable when using walk on back technique and falling into a memorized routine without paying attention to the clients body. Sometimes you get a place that avoids 90% of these problems and that's a damn good massage. Avee 9 avoids all the problems and does the BEST job. The ONLY issues that I have with this place are the noise & parking. It's not particularly quiet and the two parking spots in the back can be full via locals in the neighborhood. To me it's still worth it. I work hard physical jobs that worsen my sciatica and need a massage to get me back to work. A little noise and parking at petco is no big deal. Additionally, It's quite small so there is no room for a shower which is a bummer but that's not a deal breaker. I moved from Redwood City to South San Francisco recently and tried a local place for convenience and WOW it was truly AWFUL in comparison. I am done trying different places. I know I will never find a place as good as Avee 9. Is it a fancy spa with bamboo signage, facials and a sauna? Not at all. But if you need Thor's hammer thrust in your back at speed this is the place to go. Calling ahead is always the best option and tip WELL. I always do and they take phenomenal care of me. 10/10 would recommend.
