Effective and affordable massage. Easy to book an appointment. Had some leg pain that went away after a few visits.

So, I will second what others said and say that this is a no frills massage. But, if you don't mind that, then you must know this was the BEST massage I've ever received. Also, place seemed pretty clean and sanitary. For context, I like a really deep tissue massage. The average person might find what I enjoy to be uncomfortable. Like a jackhammer in my back would be good lol. I had John as my massage therapist, and he was absolutely amazing! Didn't take any shortcuts and really got into the muscle tissue. Elbows and all of that! Felt awesome. I was so relaxed. I will definitely be coming back to him. I didn't completely undress, although I'm sure you could. I really only do that at high end spas. I was in shorts and a cami and It was comfortable. He asked about the pressure. I told him hard and he obliged. Kept consistent pressure the whole massage. Heads up: they do request a $20 tip ahead of the massage. While I recognize this is untraditional, I totally get It, given how COVID must have affected business. I hope people start cutting small businesses some slack! Anyway, if you are looking for an insanely deep tissue massage without the frills, definitely come here! read more

No stars is more accurate- A Groupon was purchased for a couples massage. My mother in law is elderly and we canceled the session due to Covid- here is some dialogue from text messages from this rip of of a scam company! Save your money- with or without a Groupon it screams shady! Even when I scheduled initially I get texts saying pay them directly even though a purchase had already been made! Bliss: Pay us directly for discount Me: Are you not accepting groupons? Bliss: you make appointment before you cancel Me: I explained to you previously regardless we still have a Groupon to use and it expires Dec 30- read more

This place has horrible customer service. First I called to make an appointment, but was asked to text instead. Not a problem. After not hearing back, I got a time set. The problem came with the second reply, a requirement that I pay a $20 tip BEFORE the massage. I've never heard of this anywhere. I let the owner know that I was not comfortable with that and his solution was to cancel my Groupon with them. The fact that you require a tip beforehand makes me think your services are not up to par. I have no problem tipping, but telling me I must before service AND the amount is horrible. Good luck if you go to this spa read more

You guys... please pay attention to the negative reviews. Especially because every negative review has been consistent across the board. I'm one of those individuals who believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt, but after experiencing at least 90% of what the negative reviews say JUST by trying to schedule an appointment, I cut all ties and made arrangements somewhere else. I got a group on for this establishment for a couple's massage and upon calling for an appointment, the guy (owner I'm guessing) stated that he does not accept group ons, especially on the weekends because he had bills to pay and proceeded to push me into paying out of pocket. STRIKE ONE. Then, I was not having any luck anywhere else that offers all the things he stated that he will provide for the price of $119 so I contacted him through text to set up the appointment. This was days later, so I wanted to have him verify what exactly I will be getting again, because I want no issues when my appointment came and all he kept saying "Yes" and "confirmed" everytime I said something (See screenshots). STRIKE TWO. THEN, after going down the rabbit hole of horrible reviews this place has on both Yelp and Google, I said F that, and started looking for other places to go to. After finding the most perfect place that is not to far from this one and only $20 more expensive, I contacted him to let him know to cancel my appointment. THAT'S when it started becoming harassing. He started texting me repeatedly and then BLOWING UP MY DAMN PHONE. I finally answered is call and told him about himself and about all the bad reviews and he just stood there and defended it. For one of the reviews I bought up, he stated Stating that "people need to tip us more because we have bills" and "we make people tip more because it's good to tip" yes sir, it's good to tip but you cannot FORCE people to tip what you desire. And you know fool tried to lie and say they are highly rated on Yelp and google and that was just one or two people? No. After that phone call, the harassment continued and finally stopped this morning. STRIKE THREE. If you have actually read this review entirely, please save your time, money, and peace of mind and go somewhere else. Do the smart thing I did because it is NOT worth it. At all. read more

Grabbed a couples massage on Groupon. Decent price, friendly and inviting staff, we did not deal with any gentleman only the women were present. The massage was great and I will definitely be back. I know individual experiences vary but the staff was extremely nice and helpful to us. The only reason I did not give 4/5 stars is that it was a bit loud and bright, at one point a kid was yelling in the background. However I feel like that had more to do with the kids being unexpectedly out of school for the day with the water-main break. I definitely think it could be better but I was happy for the price I paid. read more

I went there today. It was not worthy. I was so excited about massage because I was so tired. I found this place on Groupon so it was $109 for couple massage and 20% extra off if we buy something more than $50. When I called he said bring cash and we will talk about that. When I went there he wanted to give us hot stone massage instead of 20%. I was okay with that because I wanted the hot stone but hot stone was very quick and not worthy (only on my back). I called them to make an appointment the owner said we have 12:30pm which was good. We came at 12:30pm and we waited their massagist for 30min to come. The room was cold becoming I was laying there for 30 mins. My foot were freezing and didn't give me foot massage. He didn't even touched. The massage was just okay. They did my back which was nice but they forgot my feet, hands, front,and legs. I never going back there. It was waste of money. Don't waste your money and time. read more

Wish I had read yelp reviews before buying a Groupon here. Was easy for me to get an appointment, they always had openings the day I called. Owner asked me to bring cash for tip, did not specify amount. I had a Groupon for two massages. First one was fine, didn't see the sign on the front desk that SUGGESTS Groupon users tip $15, but you better have $15 bc if you try to tip anything less they will point to the sign until you give them $15. Second massage was awful. As soon as I walked in the woman says "$20 tip". I tell her I'm sorry, I brought $15, since that is what the sign says. She reluctantly lets me in the room to prepare. Massage was awful and a waste of my time, couldn't wait for it to end after she spent 20 mins digging her fingernails into my feet. Not sure how thats a "massage". Not to mention the other staff member sleeping in the adjacent room snoring loudly for 30 mins of my massage. Very distracting. When I was leaving I handed her the $15 suggested (required) tip. She then starts to yell at me in the lobby for $5 more. Keeps threatening to call her boss on me. A TIP is a reward for good service, the massage I got deserved $0. She continued to try to fight with me over the $20 tip she wanted, so I walked out. Do NOT go here. read more

We booked a couples massage and they texted us the same thing I've seen others get: "due to improve massage service quality, please pay $20 tip per person before service. Have tip in cash." Which basically translates to: "give us $40 in cash in advance or we'll give you a crappy massage." That's really no way to run business. I hate to give out my first ever 1 star rating but I've really never seen anything like this. read more

My first time coming here and I'm def coming back. They really do good to a body, I'm in my 20s and even so they found knots and relieved me from years of body stress. Btw I found them on Groupon but it's better to pay in person in my opinion :) 5 stars ty for the an amazing couples massage! read more

Bliss Massage Spa - Relaxing and enjoying my massage. They really get to it. - Reflexology Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I called ahead of buying a Groupon to see if there was availability and the guy text me offering a more expensive package than the one on Groupon saying he was available for a Sunday appointment. As soon as I said the more expensive one was not what I was looking for but I'd like to proceed with the Groupon massage he said sorry, not available because it was not the more expensive massage not offered on Groupon. Why even have a Groupon if you won't honor it and then try to charge customers for a more expensive massage that they don't want? read more

My fiance purchased a gift card for me for my birthday for a massage. Neither of us had been to Bliss Massage Spa but we pass it when we are going to our favorite breakfast spot. I called and made an appt and they saw me quickly. I had my 1 hour massage today with Nana and it was AMAZING! She took the time to make sure I was comfortable and it was the best massage I have ever had. Everyone working there was courteous and pleasant. I would highly recommend. Sincerely, Heather read more

I purchased 2 x 60 minute deep tissue massages from this vendor and when I went to schedule it, they said that they would not give us the massages to us unless we agreed to pay $20 tip per person BEFORE the massage. This would represent nearly a 40% tip and then would not provide incentives to give a quality massage. This is a sketchy place. Do not give such dishonest person your business. read more

I bought a Groupon to try this place because they has a good review on Groupon. It was supposed to be 1 hr deep tissie massage with hot stone. Sometimes, I notice that some of the businesses never do perfect job on Groupon paying costumers than paying full priced costumers. I said some because there are lots of places do perfect job even you had Groupon. Regardless of that i still paid 70$ for that. My massuer was not really good. She spents most of the time on my shoulder and didnt care for the rest. I was expecting hot stone but it was 1 hot towel for my entire body. If you really want to keep your costumers hapoy and be succesfull in bussines, you should do your best job. Now days, people do research before they go to places. I prefer 5 star places for my Yelp research. read more

Freaking amazing Booked it Friday night on my break for Sunday it was amazing my body needed it and it was well worth it no wait nice and peaceful definitely going back read more

I have a Groupon for this spa. when I called to make an appointment, the owner complained & questioned why I would do that. He said he loses money & prefers customers not to purchase on Groupon. He didn't give me an appointment but instead said to text him when I wanted to come in. I texted that I wanted to in the next morning. I received a text back around 9:30pm. Not professional and a bother to anyone who believes in the 9-5 work day. The text stated that a $20 tip prior to service was expected. I was shocked! I'm used to tipping after the service so I can judge the service provided. This is a breach of contract and I will no longer be a customer. To others thinking of going to this spa, don't bother. Pay a little more for a better experience Elsewhere. The spa itself looks cheap and smells horrible. read more

Called Sunday afternoon at 1PM for a 2PM couple's massage appointment. Was pushed back to 2:30 PM but they gave us a free upgrade to accommodate for the inconvenience. Very nice and hard working masseuses. The whole hour was used to massage back, legs, feet, head, arms & hands. I've been to MANY massages and my lady did a great job. Gave enough pressure and adjusted in spots that were more sensitive for me. The place had relaxing music, was very clean and the ambiance was what you expected from a massage parlor. I recommend this place! read more

Been here a few times and ever brought my parents once. I love the service here, I have no problems every time I go! See you all soon!

These massages were truly deep tissue. They press the stress out of your body and relieve tension from any are you identify as a "problem area." The location is not exactly ideal but it's not too far from the city and is easily accessible. The interior could use some renovation because each massage room is just a makeshift construction, lacking sound privacy. No ceiling to wall connection makes it possible to hear everything outside of your massage area. read more

If I could I'll give them -1star !!! If you go and read other comments with 1-2 stars -it's true. Couldn't use my coupon. Forced to pay before getting service !!! Rude owner and staff !!! Demanding tips $15-$30 !!! The owner was asking to pay $120 plus tips before the service and didn't wanna hear about my coupon. "We are using them ( Groupon and Livingsocial ) to promote and bring people in , but not applying any coupons !" - the owner said. Don't go. Spend your money and TIME !!! Even I made appointment I was forced to leave because he said I can't use your coupons because I lose money - he said. Terrible. No No No. read more

Surprised they are still open.. I don't remember massage and customer service worse than the one I received here. I bought voucher on Groupon; and when I called to make an appointment, manager asked me how much I spent. I told the price listed on Groupon and he laughed... At this point I should have hanged up on him and never show my face at this place. However, they were "kind" to spare time for me with my Groupon deal. The worst started there. The massage itself was more than sorry: very chaotic, masseuses were constantly chatting and leaving the room to greet other customers. I certainly was not relaxed, and, at the end, the girl gripped my head trying to massage my scull. It felt like my head was gonna explode like a ballon with this grasp. Then, without washing her hands, she started massaging my face!!! In 50 minutes after session started, she left to say a couple awaiting in the hall that she is done and a room will be ready soon for them. At the register, when my friend was paying for the same kind of shitty service, the girl took out paper with estimated tips. She said we MUST pay it regardless our experience there. I was surprised with this rudeness and shamelessness. I asked her why massage was just 50 minutes instead of one hour, she answered that our time started when we entered building. Outrageous, but I still passed her 10$. After that, on my way home, I received a call from the manager: he was concerned about the tip I left to a girl saying that it was not enough. Shocked, confused, and robbed-that's how I felt after going there!!! In this aggressive business environment, with this attitude toward customers and level of unprofessionalism, Bliss massage spa will be suffering and will run out of business very soon. One star, bad review and I will never come there again. read more

Save your money and go someplace actually relaxing. From the get go, scheduling was a nightmare and completely unprofessional. The guy (owner I'm assuming) is on the line with multiple people at once and also trying to check out customers and yell at the staff while on the phone, ended up hanging up on me and asking me to call back like 5x. Day of my appointment: I wake up to two separate texts and five missed calls- "come on time please" and "don't be late" ...who are you, my boss?! Courtesy appointment reminders are great. Unprofessional texts that say "don't be late" are not okay. The actual massage was fine but the atmosphere was horrendous. Shouting back and forth through the fake walls, customers calling and complaining about billing problems, awful crinkling of plastic bags like he was taking out the trash, the couple next door giggling - yes I could hear all of this during my massage. The masseuse also kept trying to ask me questions about my personal life. Hello, I'm half naked and trying to relax. Please don't talk to me. To top it all off, on my way out I hand over a cash tip and he has the NERVE to go, "whoa whoa whoa whoa that's not enough" and then demand that I pay more via credit card "because the girls work so hard". I won't get on my soapbox here about tipping but I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of entitlement. If they work so hard then pay them fair wages, don't coerce your customers to tip more than they deserve. I was visibly astonished at this behavior and he then tried to offer me a bottle of water for "being a nice lady"... I refused and let him know I would never be returning. read more

Please beware. The owner would not except my Groupon (Groupon refunded my money to me). The owner told me I had to pay full price plus I had to pay the tip of at least $20 to him and not the massage therapist. This is unacceptable. I will never go in the shop. read more

Worst massage place ever!! I had a groupon and called to schedule. I first mentioned my groupon and then asked if they were open on the 4th of July and the man who answered said yes. We had a pretty big language barrier so he aske me to text him, which was fine. I texted my info and we set up the date/time via text. He called me that morning and asked if I could come earlier - I had something else scheduled so I told him I couldn't. He then asked if we could schedule for Sat instead as they were going to close early because it was the 4th - huh? Didn't I ask you that specifically when I scheduled? Anyway, I went ahead and scheduled for Sat. Then, I received a call the day before asking if I could come earlier. I could so I said fine; however, all of these scheduling issues really had me wondering about the place. I showed up Sat morning about 10 mins before I was scheduled. There was only one person there, and she didn't seem to speak much English. I indicated that I had a groupon and took it out to give it to her. She looked at it and said the owner would take it later. I asked if my masseuse was there and she said "yes." She led me to a room for the massage and indicated that I should undress and lay on the table. I undressed and lay on the table. Then another lady knocked on the door. Thinking it was my masseuse, I told her to come in. She asked me for my groupon. I was literally laying on the massage table, naked, and she wanted me to get up to give her the groupon! I told her as much, and she left. A few minutes later, she knocked again. She had the owner on the telephone and wanted me to talk to him - all while I'm laying on the table naked!! So I spoke with him and told him what I thought of his practices, obviously this place has no interest in helping people relax! I have been to other no frills spas, and had great experiences, this place is insane. I imagine with all the no frills competition popping up, that this place won't be around long. read more

Although looks small in a strip mall, very good place for a therapeutic massage! If you want a moderate, but comfortable massage, Lucy is very good. She will work on the areas that need it the most. Lucy worked on me with right amount of pressure and it was her medium strength so she could have went way deeper if I asked her to do so. Charlie, manager, was very, very accommodating with scheduling since I was working around a medical schedule. I will make an appointment directly with Bliss vs Groupon. read more

This is a no frills massage spa. Made the mistake of buying a a groupon "reflexology" massage which is a foot massage (opps, buyer beware). The owner called me back and said that they could provide a Swedish massage for $20 more which was fine by me. You walk in and there is reception desk and a couch. A person greeted me and asked that I sit and shortly walked me to the room. The rooms have no ceilings so you do hear everything that is in the reception area as well as other massage tables. They start you off face down and the masseuse asked if I wanted medium or hard pressure. They put a towel on you and for first 15 minutes she applies pressure with the towel covering you. She then applies massage oil and it was more of sports massage where she stretched your arms and legs and back applying decent pressure. After 30 minutes she did a hot stone massage where she massaged me with hot stones. She used a hot towel to wipe off the oil and then had me flip over. She did a facial massage which I am not particularly keen on but I should of said something but didn't so c'est la vie. She massaged and stretched my arms and legs which was pretty relaxing. Once again if you are expecting a high end spa this is not it and you shouldn't expect that when ur getting a groupon deal. Overall I thought it was a relaxing and a solid massage. read more

Absolutely fantastic! My wife and I did a couples massage, one hour. She has a back injury; I was exhausted and legs were shot after five hard days of bicycling hills in and out of work. We both now feel fantastic. For two of us it was $109 with a Groupon. BEST VALUE you will find; this is roughly a quarter what they charge at the Ritz or the W for the same event. Lucy and Vicky worked on us. Full-body massage, hitting every muscle group, working the meridian lines, perfect blend of soft and firm, expert digging into the big muscles of the back and legs. They were very responsive to precisely what we wanted and adjusted as needed. My wife was herself a massage therapist and has had dozens of massages- said it was the best massage she had ever had. Very cheerful staff, highly professional. They scheduled me the day before and then both wrote and called to confirm the morning of. What the other people say on these reviews is true: this is not a Zen quiet place. The rooms are separate but walls do not go to the ceiling; everyone is right that you can hear everything. My answer: so what? We went to make our bodies feel better....it is likely true that the Ritz would be a Zen experience....and quadruple the price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We will be back. read more

The owner forced me to cancel my Groupon and pay a $20 tip even before the massage .. who does that .. it's customer service 101

If I could post negative stars, this place would have minus 10 stars. I am the type of person who will always give good recommendations when merited, but this place is atrocious. The customer service is completely disgusting and I do NOT recommend anyone ever going to this place, nor do I recommend anyone buy any Groupon codes for them. We had purchased a groupon as a gift for my dad from this place. When we had called to book an appointment, the manager of the store refused us from being able to use it, literally laughed at our face for a prolonged period of time, and basically said that we were cheap. He said that he would refuse my dad from coming or ever making time to book an appointment for him, as my dad was given a groupon in the past before, from a different person. The guy said that he loses money from groupon and would rather lose customers than ever accept a groupon code. This place is nasty and I do not recommend anyone ever going here. I highly suggest anyone who has a groupon to get your money back from Groupon. It will NOT be accepted and you will be humiliated and made to feel depreciated as a client and person. STAY AWAY!!!!!!! read more

Called in last min Monday afternoon to book a couples massage due to being super sore & injury from outdoor climbing. They were able to accommodate. Location & parking was easy. Place was clean, simple, & comfortable. Usually other places will kill some time prior to the massage to "prep" but the 2 masseuses got immediately to work after they asked for the problem areas & pressure level. Communication was good and friendly. No ushering out as soon as time was up. No pressure to make immediate next appointment. Felt super rejuvenated walking out. read more

My fiancé and I wanted to get a massage while on vacation. We were a little skeptical at first but I received the best massage I've ever had here. Our massages were done by a man and a woman and they walked us through everything they were going to do he was very helpful and made sure I was comfortable through every different position. 10/10 recommended if ever in town we were well taken care of, best experience!!! Very nice employees, will be back ! read more

I called to make an appointment for a massage with a Groupon. They asked me to text them information to their phone number. After they confirmed my soooi Trent I received a text stating that I had to give a $20 tip BEFORE my services to guarantee a good massage. This place is shady and has bad busin practices.

So I bought a group on to get a couples massage and the group on said to call to make appointment. I called and the owner picked up and said we do not take group on on weekends. Then he said, "don't buy from group on come in and pay us directly" "we have to pay rent you know". First off what I bought online is the same thing he was offering me, but the owner wants more money for the same thing I purchased. like what's the point of advertising through group on if you want me to come in and pay. Later he said "pay cash". read more
