    I had a massage by Jenise and a facial with Sarah. I had purchased an amazon local deal for both services and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get an appointment. The spa itself is very easy to miss. Parking is easy as it is under the building. Overall ambiance of the spa is lacking. Lights are bright. Robes are thin. Facial was good overall. My skin looks better than ever! But a few things annoyed me...When Sarah turned on the lights to examine my skin, she didn't have anything to cover my eyes. I had to ask. Most places put something dark over your eyes. She put some moistened gauze over my eyes after I asked, but it was still uncomfortable to have the spotlight right on my face. Massage was okay. Nothing great. It seemed a little disorganized. She never asked me how the pressure felt. When you're laying face down, its a bit hard to speak up and say you'd like more or less pressure. However, she did get out quite a few knots. This place was okay, nothing great. With so many spas in Long Beach to choose from, I don't think that this one stands out.

    I've been going to Debbie now for the last year and I have nothing but great things to say. She's very welcoming and loving and helps with your specific issues. As a Marine Corps Veteran she gives a discount and has helped me rehab my many issues ranging from my plantar fasciitis, shoulder tear, and constant back pain. Now that I have been going routinely my pains have subsided and I feel better with every session. If your looking to fix your body and get back on track I highly recommend going in and having Debbie set you straight I can't thank Debbie enough for helping me get my body back

    Happy hour Sundays!

I was a bit nervous but I was determined to do it. The thought of someone walking on your back is intimidating. However, it didn't feel as weighty as I'd expected. I'm sure it helped that my tech was petite. This feels like a much more therapeutic experience than a traditional massage. By the time you're done, your muscles have been thoroughly stretched. It wasn't as relaxing as a traditional massage but I felt the benefits of it a lot more. It was also very intuitive. I highly recommend coming here. Everyone was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. I loved the Thai music they played. Also, the space is very clean.

I try to come at least once a month just to recuperate and it doesn't break the bank. All of the massages come with hot stones at no extra charge which is a nice touch. I enjoy doing the super combo massage, but they are all great packages. All the ladies are great! The gentleman in the front speaks good English and always answers the phone. I will say that it's not a quiet massage place, and it's not the most private, but those don't matter to me as I'm just trying to heal. I tune the noise out, but I totally understand if that's not for everyone. Lots of parking in the private lot. I've been here many random times (weekday, weeknight, weekend) and there is always people getting a massage or calling in for a massage, so I highly recommend making an appointment as walk ins are not guaranteed.

Jamie recommended Louis for deep tissue work, and he was exactly what I was looking for. He was professional, thorough, and clearly very experienced. He checked in throughout the session, listened to my concerns, and knew exactly where to focus. For the first time in a long time, I walked out feeling like a completely different person. The tightness and pain I had been dealing with were significantly improved, and I finally felt like I received the deep tissue treatment I had originally been looking for. I also want to thank Jamie for being such an attentive owner. She took my feedback seriously, followed up personally, and genuinely wanted to make things right. That level of customer service is rare and says a lot about how she runs her business. I've already booked my next 80-minute massage with Louis in two weeks and am happy to remain a member. In fact, after this experience, I'd even recommend The NOW to my husband. Sometimes the true measure of a business is how they respond when a customer isn't completely satisfied. Jamie and her team exceeded my expectations, and I'm grateful she encouraged me to give them another chance.

I was able to try their 55 minute Swedish massage. The ambiance inside is dark, calming, and they have ocean waves as audio going. It is amazing. The set up is cute and aesthetic, they have a basket or hanger for your clothing and a bowl for your jewelry. The massage bed is heated so it is nice and warm in there. You won't get cold. They also have a sheet and a sheep skin looking top blanket that adds a small amount of weight that is enjoyable. Prior to walking in there's a small area where you can talk to your massage therapist and let them know about any preferences, ad ons or problematic areas. The only thing I did not like was that the lotion used leaves such an uncomfortable feeling on the skin. I don't know what exactly they use but I could just *feel* the layer of lotion sitting in top of my skin. I was itching to take a shower. It was not my cup of tea. Jo was amazing! I had so much joy and relaxation out of my massage. I had plenty of knots that she found in my upper shoulders but I did not choose to get the deep massage because I definitely would be crying and biting on the bed. My knots are crraaazyyyy so slowly but surely I'll be able to handle them coming out. I know home girl was like "this girl has some terrible shoulders" but everything is a-ok. She applied the appropriate amount of pressure and is receptive to feedback. The service overall was extremely friendly. They have complimentary water with citrus or regular water. Parking is in the garage or on the street. They do have a restroom.

Also appreciate how the prices remain constant over the years (think they've only gone up $10 or so for a full body in last 10 years). I typically get the full body 60 minute massage and it never disappoints. Always leave feeling refreshed and happy with the money well spent. Make sure to request a female and if you are going with your spouse/partner, request separate rooms as the combined room can get a little cramped for my liking. The guy that runs the joint is pretty consistent too, always literally saying the same exact sentences whenever we call to book the appt, arrive at the appt, or approach the massage room (my wife and I love when he says "everything, take off". lol). I think it's pretty standard at these types of massage joints, but expect to tip at minimum $20 for a 60 min massage, otherwise they will give you the death eye and you'll be super uncomfortable, so to not get that feeling right after a long, distressful and relaxing massage, just be prepared to fork up the extra $10 in advance before paying and it will be all good vibez. In the end, you're paying $70 for an hour long full body massage with hot stones & oil, which is still a killer deal. And the masseuses do such a great job every single time I've gone, I don't think I've had a bad experience yet (except when my wife got the main dude at the front as her masseuse she didn't really dig that, one because he was a male, two because his keys jingle-jangle the entire 60 minutes, and three he still plays the front desk role and will answer both calls and people entering mid massage, which is such lame and also super weird. Anyway, like I said, request a female and you won't have to deal with any of that!). Whelp yelp, feel like I gave all future customers the skinny on the joint and how to have the best massage possible with little to no issues. So take it or leave it, I think this place deserves 5 stars in my book.

During my most recent visit, I paid for both a massage and cupping therapy. At the time of the service, nothing was mentioned about any issues. However, when I got home, I discovered what appeared to be a burn mark on my back. As someone who has received cupping treatments from licensed massage therapists in the past, I am familiar with the circular marks that cupping can leave behind. This was not that. It was clearly a burn. When I contacted the business to express my concern, I was disappointed that the initial response was to suggest that the burn was a normal result of cupping. In my experience, that explanation was inaccurate. They then offered a discount on a future massage as a gesture of goodwill. Against my better judgment, I returned a few weeks later expecting the promised discount, only to learn that it amounted to just $5 off. Considering the fact that I left with a burn from a paid service, this felt dismissive and showed a lack of accountability for what occurred. The combination of an unprofessional environment, an injury sustained during treatment, and a poorly handled customer service response left me extremely disappointed. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this business. Customers deserve a safe experience and a business that takes concerns seriously when something goes wrong.

I have heard mixed experienced from locals about Belmont Shore Spa and thought I would at least give it a try because the rates looked very affordable. I originally talked with Diane about a 90-minute deep tissue and at the time 60 was avail for the next day. I booked that for the next day and was told she would send verification to text and it was not received till next day (minor concern). But I got a nervous feel, and I was told many times CASH! That is no problem. Then what seemed like a nice shift.. I was informed Lynn could take me for 90 minutes if I came by right away. And I asked fee and was told $100 cash which is also listed on the website. Great .. easy . I grabbed a $100 and was out the door. Parking was horrible though and I had to walk literally 4 blocks. Upon arriving Diane was friendly and introduced me to Lynn who seemed tense, and non-communicative. I wasn't expecting just curtains and no private rooms which felt mediocre to me but I understand this type of set up is often customary. I undressed and ask Lynn to please use just coconut oil. The massage was incredibly rough and I had to say a few times to go lighter. The experience was horrible.. tense, then she got on top of me and straddled my body digging in. This felt incredibly uncomfortable though I know this is done in some traditions. But it felt unprofessional. To me there is no need to straddle someone on the table. I wondered if this was some Thai sex massage parlor, it made me uncomfortable. When I tried to talk about what I needed and what to do she shushed me for talking. This made me even more uncomfortable- Though some areas of my body did feel looser after the massage. That night I had horrible pain and felt worse. Now I have had massages for over 40 years and NEVER once had this kind of reaction. I still have burning in my shoulder and felt she caused injury. To make matters worse then I went to pay $100 which I was told and she said it was $105. Luckily I had atm which sometimes when paying cash I don't bring ATM. . So felt extremely tacky to atm me for $5. Next I was never asked by Lynn or Dianne if I would like to leave a tip. AND TIPPING IS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!! Hassling customers for tips is simply unprofessional .. HINT Customers will WANT to tip for exceptional care and service. Before I left I asked some other questions to find Lynn for example is there 9-6 M-F Like seriously? I get it now. This is a sweatshop slumlord style operation where they overwork their massage therapists and probably pay them little. Instead of basic business skills. Then I'm on the Freeway about 15 minutes later and receive a call from Dianne asking where is the tip? Are you serious? How stressful, tacky, unprofessional and just rude. .. Completely unprofessional, miscommunication, misrepresentation on website of fees. SO yes this is one of the cheapest spots in 90803 area code but now I know why. If you want a cheap massage this is your place ===customer beware! I have now talked to two other neighbors that had horrible experiences at this location. This review is on Diane and what I experienced, and the painful and unfriendly massage I had with Lynn. Won't be back, and will tell my friends, to stay away in droves.
