So in need of a massage and found this place on Yelp so of course decided to pay them a visit based on the reviews. I don't think the reviews are wrong per say as I did enjoy the massage. The main reason for 3 stars only was 1)during my massage I could easily hear other masseusses walking by or talking. I don't mind some noise but this felt pretty loud for a massage parlor. 2) I don't remember the name of the lady that helped me but she asked if she could massage me by stepping on my back and I said yes and felt she basically spent most of her time doing just that. When I began I had mentioned to her that my legs is mostly what I was there for so was a bit disappointed more time wasn't spent there. I may give this another shot and just try again. read more

Absolutely recommend. Excellent and professional service! Staff is clean and you walk out feel amazing!!! Mimi and Vanissa are the best. Thank you Bonita Massage read more

I have been coming here for years. Generally it's convenient and decent. But the most recent experience left me turned off. I called and the voicemail said to text the number to make an appt. I sent multiple texts with no response. Kept calling and it rang once and went to voicemail. So I went there in person to see what was going on. Apparently I had been blocked. The front desk lady who is new asked if I had ever booked an appointment and not showed up. I said "no, never". But I asked if they have an actual cancellation policy. She explained that when people no call no show, it messes up the schedule for the day and the person who did that is blocked. I told my husband and I guess it's possible I booked an appt for him and maybe he didn't show up. Can't say for sure. Either way, they need a better policy which is more professional. This makes it seem like they don't care about their paying customers. Plus they had this sign up when I went in there. Very unprofessional practices. read more

Bonita Massage Spa - Probably an unsatisfied customer. - Massage Near Me - Carson, California

Thank you so much to Mimi for the combo massage today! I havent been back in years but so glad i decided to return today. I might have to pay extra next time and get their 90 min massage! read more

My go to for a quick massage during the week or after work. The service is always good, I always have the same person she is very good. I don't remember her name , I recommend if you need a massage I always get the 90 minutes. The suite is very clean and always quite I never hear other people talking or anything. I always am able to get an appointment when I text .. I definitely recommend. read more

I've been to this place two or three times and each time the customer service has been great and the massage has been fantastic and pleasant. The prices are beyond reasonable and each masseuse I've had has been polite and provided great service. read more

They don't allow walk ins. That's my only gripe with them would love to try them but they don't allow walks and never seem to have an opening read more

I came in for a shoulder rub and got a walk-on, leg massage, and sketchy rub down. I went here 6 or 7 maybe once or twice and didn't like their customer service and felt sore after one massage and decided to stop coming. But it's been years and I decided to call them since I was having some tension in my shoulders and a lot of quality places are booked on the weekends. I was excited that they had a last minute opening on a Saturday but maybe that was a bad sign. I had Vanessa as a masseuse. Let's just say it felt more like an inappropriate rub down and walk-on versus a massage. I told her I had a lot of tension in my shoulders as a focus area which she barely spent time on. She asked if she could walk on me and I agreed. I'm not a fan of this but it's normally for a short period so I often go along with it. But in this case, Vanessa began with the walk on, mostly on my legs and spent a third of the time doing this. It hurt at certain points on my lower back which I told her and she adjusted appropriately. But I couldn't wait for this part to be done because it felt like it was lasting a long time. I came here mostly for a shoulder rub. I definitely was beginning to question if she knew what she was doing. She then spent the next third of the time massaging my legs. I had to finally tell her to focus on my back. This is where it got weird. When she finally got to my back, she then moved my underwear partially down so my butt was partially exposed and then rubbed me down to my butt area. It didn't even feel like a massage. I moved my underwear back up and told her 3 times not to go that low. Once I said it in a firmer tone she seemed to finally understand. She then did some hot stone rubs and then rub some type of icy hot on my shoulders. I felt like she barely spent time on my focus area. She flipped me over and worked on my legs again, stretching my legs in a weird way. Having me place my ankle on my inner thigh while she massaged my inner thigh a little too high. I want to be clear, she never touched my private parts but it felt like it was getting close. She then did a very quick shoulder rub and some type of scalp rub. She the karate chopped my face and said ok and ran out as quickly as possible. I couldn't believe what just happened. Ten years ago I would have gone along with this treatment. But now as a grown woman I think this type of treatment from a male or female should be called out. This place seems to have a lot of positive reviews but I'm not sure why. Maybe they all had different masseuses and Vanessa is new. But I just know I will never go here again and would caution anyone who chooses to. But if you're looking for a sketchy rub down, walk-on, and leg massage, then Vanessa is your person. read more

I called in yesterday to inquire if there was an open slot and luckily there was. The receptionist was nice and told me in advance which payments they accept. After, she sent me a text message with the different services and a form to fill out. This was my first time so customer service was great. Moving on to my masseuse, Paula, she was so sweet! I came in feeling nervous and insecure about my body but instead, she made me feel comfortable and was careful where she applied pressure. She's very knowledgeable at what she does-- I know because what she suggested to me was on point with what my doctor has advised me to do to loosen up my muscles. Because of that, she has gained my trust. Thank you, Paula! read more

Just got a massage because my neck felt stiff and it made me moody . After the massage I felt no pain in my neck. Mimi did a excellent job. The front desk woman was so sweet. You have to try this place. I'm always telling my friends to come here for there massages The whole spa was heated so you don't have to worry about being cold and it smelt so clean inside. read more

First timer at Bonita Massage spa for a "pre Valentine's Day/healthcare hero/treatYOself" outting. Great price, excellent quality massages from Wendy and Vanissa! The hostess up front was also very helpful and friendly. I would definitely have to work on my indoor spa voice since rooms are separated by walls that don't reach up to the ceiling and curtains.. so everyone can hear everything. But for the most part, an enjoyable experience. Carson's hidden gem I say! read more

I went with my husband for a couple massage and we are still amazed by the service they provided! Thanks to Pola for doing such a great job! I feel like new read more

I booked a massage for my husband for his birthday as a surprise while he thought he'd be running errands. They were easy to book with, accommodating, and provided a great service given his feedback of the massage. Though we don't live in the area, he still would go back! read more

Not sure if they're under new management but this place has gone the drain. They all don't really speak English that well either so it's hard to communicate. They got a couple of new masseuses. The girl I got was horrible. She had no technique and kept doing one move over and over. Didn't apply much pressure at all. I asked the lady in the front for her name so that I made sure not to get her again but she wouldn't give me the name. Her room is the one straight ahead when you walk in the door. You mind as well walk back out if they try to take you to her. My hubby got Yuma and he said she was just OK. She applied pressure but didn't have any techniques either. I'm so disappointed that Anna isn't there anymore. She was amazing. Nikki is still there so she's your best bet. Nikki is really good. Especially at deep tissue massages. read more

Clean. COVID friendly. They don't play at this massage parlor. Let me tell you I'm a big girl and the little lady was walking up and down my back and legs. The message was thorough and definitely worth the money. I will be coming back. read more

i'm a first timer the full body massage was great i had mimi massage me it was too relaxing i feel recharge after my one hour session!! excellent job mimi!! at least i know who i tried when i come back!! read more

Everything is as advertised and I always walk out better than I came in. If you need a strong massage that stretches you go to Wendy for a Thai Swedish massage. You will be sore but it'll be worth it. Betty was my go to for a very relaxing massage and she is gone so now idk. It's clean, professional and always delivers good service. read more

Omggg best thing I have ever done in a LONG time. My bf and I got here around 8pm for a 1hr thai swedish massage. They took us to the rooms immediately and started working. My bf had Wendy and I forget who I had but they were both AMAZING!! I literally fell asleep on the table. Customer service is EXCELLENT, massages are out of this world and affordable. We paid around $47 each for 60 min. This place is perfect and i cant wait to come again. Thank you Bonita, I slept like a baby!! read more

Bonita Massage Spa - Massage Near Me - Carson, California

This isn't your typical Asian reflexology massage. The therapists here have massage licenses and they do a great massage. I chose the Swedish tai combo and I'm so glad I did. I feel 100 times better and i will definitely be back to see Nikki! read more

Vanessa (the masseuse) is AMAZING!! It's always 5 star service from beginning to end at this location. From the moment you call, you experience first class service. The receptionist is always friendly and willing to accommodate all your needs. I will definitely be back to see Vanessa and those strong hands very soon!! (SMILE) read more

I freaking love it here.. I have yet to try their indoor massage.. l- I treated myself to two massages to this place and I don't regret a bit of it.. Anna did an amazing professional job.. she relieved me of my back pain without me having to tell her where the pain was. she definitely focused on my problem area. Going to try another massage soon! read more

I left work early one day with hopes of getting a massage from Bonita Massage. For the service that I wanted (60 minute massage), there wasn't enough time in between appointments to squeeze me in. I learned right away that, although appointments are not needed, they are definitely recommended. I left that day un-massaged... I got smart for my second visit and called to make an appointment. I decided on the 90 minute massage and body scrub. I wanted to take the word of fellow yelp*ers and go big with my first tryst here. Ms. Anna was my masseuse and I'm so glad I had her for my massage and scrub. She applied The. Right. Amount. Of. Pressure. I had one big ol' knot on my lower right side that was bugging me for over a week, and she did her best to massage it out. It wasn't painful, although Ms. Anna was afraid that the pressure she applied was too much for me. It wasn't at all. It was an overall great massage! My chief complaint was my lower back, but when she started walking over my legs.... Dude! I didn't know how tense my legs were! The massage itself was done face down only. The body scrub was back and front. It's almost like a bonus massage, as Ms. Anna really worked in the scrub. The scrub was nice and minty and wasn't too abrasive. It would've been nice for the room to be warmer for the scrub part, as minty scrub plus uncovered naked skin gets pretty cold. I was covered in a single thin sheet, and the room is quite open (curtain divider and open ceiling) so it got cold pretty fast. The rooms are pretty dim and there's relaxing music playing, so there's other ways to keep you massage-ready. I think I used "pretty" too many times here.... After the scrub I was given a pair of slippers and was wrapped in my single sheet and escorted to the shower room. There I had a towel and robe waiting for me afterwards, and there was shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available for use. I didn't use those products, though, just washed off the scrub. I loved how smooth my skin felt!!! And the minty smell wasn't so overpowering that I felt like a walking candy cane. The towel and robe smelled fresh and clean. The massage and scrub cost me $97 because I paid with a card. I was able to add my tip to the cost with no problems. There are small gratuity envelopes at the front desk should you have cash handy. For the services rendered, the price was very, very reasonable. I would absolutely return, but I would prefer to go at a not-busy time. Because the massage rooms are so open, one can easily hear the conversations, etc. from another room. There is a one page form for you to fill out (contact info, quickie medical history, problem areas, etc.) before you get your massage. Ms. Anna took the time to read through my small scribble and asked a few questions regarding my answers. After your massage, you're given a small water bottle (¡muy importante! to keep hydrated after any massage, btw). read more

OMG. Wendy is the best for the amazing deep tissue massage she gave. Very kind and considerate. I expressed that I carried a lot of stress in my neck/shoulder/back region and she spent a chunk of time just focused on working through knots. The first I came here was to pay for my baby brother to get a massage for his bday but I myself had never got one. The ladies are sweet Thai chicks and were very kind even though I wasn't getting any services that day. Fast forward to yesterday: On a whim I decided to call them up because I got tired of putting it off. (I'm such a lame ass that way) I'll wait until I get a crazy Groupon deal, I'll wait until my birthday, I'll wait until I get a million dollars and pigs drink ice water in hell (Lol)...I had had a long day at work and had before that got in a argument with a loved one in other words=== I was stressed I spent $55 bucks for the hour long deep tissue and a what I assume to be an ok tip set me back $70 altogether. She is worth every penny. I plan on loving myself a lot more in 2015 and this was definitely an awesome experience. I felt rejuvenated, less cranky, and an overall sense of well being. The massage definitely lifted my spirits. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am now a customer for life. read more

Bonita Massage Spa - Price list. I have yet to be disappointed here by the prices or service! - Massage Near Me - Carson, California

So I've just came back from getting their Thai-Swedish Combo massage. I was recommended by my friends. Seriously telling the truth, it was the best massage I've ever got. I've been to Japanese massage spas, Korean massage spas, and Thai massage spas. But this is it!!! I found the one and can't wait to share with everyone. They, now, have discounts for grand opening!! Wonderful! They have a big parking lot and are located really close to IKEA, easy to find. It's almost next to a Carson Buffet, but get massage before you eat! :) When I entered the spa, they greeted me with such a nice smile, with Thai courtesy, made me feel like welcomed and at home! Their decorations and coloring of the spa give the sense of peace and Zen atmosphere. I was led to a room with a massage bed. You want to make sure to put your hairs up and get ready for the best massage you'll ever get. All the masseuses who work there have a long experience. A lady who gave me a massage today has over 11 years of experience in Thailand and USA, she is an expert. Because of the experience, I guess, she knows just the right pressure to apply. It was just so perfect. First, she started massaging my legs, and to my back with warm wet cloth and then massaging with oil, which smells soft and soothing. Putting just perfect pressure, she pressed, kneaded, rub down my body. I used to take an anatomy class and realized that she massages exactly how muscles flow throughout a body, which is so perfect for detoxification. After giving me extensive massage on my legs, back, neck, buttock, arms and head, she started the Thai massage. It is more like stretching massage. I felt each muscles being stretched, and relaxed. It is such a nice feeling to have muscles which are not often used in a regular activity to be stretched. After a long perfect massage, she gave me a massage with a wet towel to take off some massage oil. I felt my stiff shoulders melted away. Moreoever my skin feels soft and moist also. Such a great feeling! :) I would definitely come back here and hope everyone will try here also!! read more

Betty, thank you for the amazing Thai & Swedish massage. You made me feel very comfortable even when taking out the knots. Very professional but welcoming staff. Setting was very relaxing..almost put myself to sleep. Very cautious of the noise level. Price - very reasonable. Bring cash, it will be $2 off the service. Will definitely come back again. read more

I usually go to Wendy because she is strong, methodical and thorough and never lets me down. Sometime she walks the line (literally) between pain and pleasure but I always feel better when I'm done. Different person this time. I had Betty. Older heavier woman with a bandana/sweat band. I thought "oh yeah. She's going to work so hard she breaks a sweat". Although she didn't have the hand strength that Wendy does, she sure made up for it. Lots more weird Thai stretching and then massaging while in a weird contorted position. Made me realize I need to stretch more. If I give Wendy an 9/10 I give Betty the same for not being afraid to twist my legs around each other and then put them behind my head while massaging the inside of my hip joint somehow. Love this place. 90 mins for $67?!?!?! Doesn't get any better. Strongly recommend this place (not just regular strong... Wendy strong!!!) read more

I had heard positive things about this place. I decided to try it. I was in need of a massage. I called on a Sunday and booked an appointment for myself and my guy. I was able to get an appointment for both of us at 530 pm for 90 minute massage. We both did the Swedish/Thai combo. We both enjoyed our treatment . It was great worth every Penny. I will definitely be returning. One of the best massages I've ever had. I've been to high end spas and this was more intense and made me feel great. I was treated by Anna she did an amazing job. The place was clean and professional. I wore my mask entire time but I still enjoyed it. They were wearing mask as well and had you wait in car till they were ready for you. They text you saying they are ready for you. I was impressed by this experience. read more

So I might just go here every week. I feel so relaxed! And my wallet is okay! Yay! I usually go to Burke Williams, which is uber pricey for me. Yes, Burke is amazeballs and all, but sometimes all I friggin want is two really good hands for a really good massage. And Bonita hit the spot. I tried the Relax massage, and I guess there are different ways to do it. I did the hot stone mixed in with a Swedish massage. Ahhhhhh. This was my first time doing hot stone. From the lobby, you enter a dimmed hallway, with different sections closed off by curtains. The room is pretty bare; just the massage bed and a place to hold the towels and something to keep the hot stones...hot. Right before the massage, my masseuse (I think it was Zoe) asked how much pressure I wanted, and I told her not too hard. And it was great! Very, very relaxing indeed. What totally sold me: the muddafriggin price. I was blown away. Seriously. I am SERIOUSLY thinking of making this my weekly habit. Or addiction. Whatever. Tip: Call and make an appointment. Yes, they take walk-ins..but it's so much better to not leave that at chance and just reserve that time. Easy breezy. read more

Bonita Massage Spa - prices as of 7/1/12 - Massage Near Me - Carson, California

When I want a spare of the moment, an awesome & an inexpensive massage this is my go to place. I've been coming here over 2 years and I've had different therapists but none compare to the great relaxing hands of Vanissa. She uses stones to loosen your muscles and along with the oil it soothes your body. Everyone is friendly in there and the experience you receive for the price they have keeps me coming back. read more

Man I been waiting for this place to open. Wendy made my day with deep massage. Hopefully I'll be back in week, if it don't shutdown again haha. read more

This is my go too place always , ask for Vanessa or Paula for a combination massage they're the best! The facility is very clean and covid restrictions apply but it's still most enjoyable and most importantly relaxing ! We have been coming here for over 2 years and we have always received exceptional service ! Thank you ladies ! read more

On a busy Sunday evening, my cousin & I went to 3 different massage places between Gardena & Carson & no one was taking walk ins. We decided to call Bonita Massage Spa before we drove over & so happens they were able to fit an appointment for 2 within an hour. It may have been $20 more than where we wanted to go beforehand, but it was worth the 60 minutes of relaxing pain (if that makes sense). My masseuse: Cara My request: medium pressure Type of massage: Thai-swedish massage ($45 + your gratuity) Experience: The lady at the front desk was kind to explain the types of massages they offer. We also signed a waiver about our health history. Between Thai (stretchful & able to take knots out) & Swedish (popular, relaxing), she explained the Thai-swedish massage which is both taking needed knots out & relaxing. My cousin & I went for thai-swedish since we are both active & needed knots to be taken out of our backs. As we both got our own separate, dimmed rooms, we were requested to remove all clothing & lay flat on the massage bed covered under the towel they provided. Cara was a great masseuse & I loved her service because she was honest & respectful by asking what kind of pressure I wanted & what needed to be worked on most. She may have had the most difficult time taking out one of my knots, but her work took them out. Mid massage were some hot stones, which felt amazing on the muscles. The stretches were a bit funny, but I needed it despite of how it looked. Great & polite customer service, I would recommend Cara! Overall, I would recommend this place for a much needed 60 minutes of relaxation that isn't too high end, but worth the $. read more

So glad I finally came in to get a massage as it was long overdue. I got a Swedish massage with Wendy for an hour & she was great. The place seemed cleaned as well as the linen on massage tables. Will be going back since this is down the street. Only thing I didn't like was that the receptionist pressure you to leave a tip (which I already planned on doing); a tip is not mandatory! Not sure why they mention walk ins, to be safe just call beforehand to make an appointment. read more

My new and favorite massage spot!! After reading all the fantastic reviews about this place, I had to try it out. Both me and my bestie just came back from a Vegas trip yesterday and were in need of some post-vegas therapy lol. We called and made a same day apppointment for the both of us and had an amazing experience! - very affordable prices $45 for a full hour massage - when bringing 2 or more people, it drops to $40 pp - clean facility - friendly staff upon arrival My masseuse was Nina (only works on Sun & Mon) and my friend had Nikki. Both were amazing and I can't wait to book my next massage. read more

Come in with my boyfriend after he was injured at a soccer game and he was in crucial pain and so was I due to my back surgery many years ago. We both got deep tissue massage. He had Nikki and I had Wendy. Both ladies are amazing and know exactly where to push. We loved the hot stone massage. Both Nikki and Wendy were so patient and sweet with us. As we told them about our pain level. We got the best massage ever. We been there before but now we are becoming regulars because of them. We are a young and athletic couple but we walked in feeling like we were 100 years old. Now we walking out all young again lol. Thank you Nikki and Wendy for making us feel young again and pain free. You guys are AWESOME! read more

Today was my first time there and let me say it was AMAZING! One of the best massages I've ever had. I couldn't decide if I wanted the Swedish or the combo of Swedish and Thai, so the lady up at the front talked me into the combo and let me say it did not disappoint, Im so glad I went with the combo massage. I had Vanessa and she did amazing. Ugh Lu recommend! read more

They are open for business. Massages are done outdoors under a canopy. It is private. You get the same great service and massage as pre-Covid. Please tip well if you are able. This business was closed for awhile because of the shutdown. Let us keep them in business. My wife loves this place too and she always feels refreshed after a massage from Vanessa or Wendy. read more

I 'm so confused on how this place has so many good reviews. I just left Bonita spa after about 25 minutes into my session. This is my first time and I would never come back. The therapist was very nice but I literally just walked out because she crossed my spine with her elbow multiple times. I let her know she kept hitting my spine and she didn't understand me thought and thought I meant keep going. This is so dangerous. You could clearly tell she wasn't trained. I booked the 90 min Thai/ Swedish and the beginning was ok until we moved over to Swedish. It's not hard to teach Thai basic moves but Swedish is not easy. You really need to know anatomy. This therapist went across my spine from one side to another and I already started to feel sore. It was so bad that I just got off the table. The owner or manager didn't really seemed concerned. I let her know I'd pay for what time I used but after her seeming to not care and attempting to charge me $35 I told her No and just gave her $20. Don't waste your time. That is not healthy therapy work. I currently have a headache and feel sick. I'm a massage therapist and if you're going here and accepting them hitting your spine then you're definitely wasting your money and it's really dangerous. read more

Great massage great price the staff was very nice I will most definitely be going back

This place is located in a small plaza by the mall. You walk in and you are greeted right away, very nice receptionist. She took my boyfriend and I to the back where our rooms were at. I was assigned to Betty and my boyfriend got Wendy. I got the Swedish Thai massage and the boyfriend got the deep tissue. First of all, my massage was amazing. I got the full body massage, a little stretching, and hot stones. Betty was good with her hands especially the area I was concerned about. It was a good massage overall for 60 minutes and the price was reasonable. If you want something worth every dollar I highly recommend this place. It was worth it to me. My boyfriend enjoyed his massaged he had a lot of stretching and a little massage. He was expecting it to be the other way around. He was happy with it though. Next time he will try the Thai Swedish combo. We are definitely going back. read more
