Nice little massage joint in Long Beach. Been comin here for 10+ years now and have had consistent…read moreservice across the board. Always know what I'm going to get for my money. 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.

I have visited this massage business several times over the years and, while it has never been the…read moremost relaxing environment due to staff frequently talking loudly with one another during services, the late operating hours (closing at 10 PM) made it a convenient option when I recently needed relief for significant back pain. 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 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. It's just a 15 minute walk down The Promenade from the Hyatt Regency here in Long Beach.

She always checks in to see how I'm feeling and what areas need attention, then tailors the massage to exactly what my body needs that day. You can tell she really listens and cares, which makes such a difference, especially during pregnancy. The office itself has a really nice, calming vibe and always smells so good when you walk in. It instantly feels relaxing. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I originally booked 60-minute sessions, but I just scheduled my next one for 90 minutes because I don't want it to end! I'm so happy I found this place. It's also a huge plus that you can use your HSA funds here. I definitely plan to keep coming and will continue even after pregnancy.

Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding.

Public Health, Professionalism, and Customer Service Concern -- Long Beach Health Department and…read moreLos Angeles County of Public Health During a massage appointment, I observed that the masseuse, identified as "Pat," had visibly rough and irritated skin on both of her elbows, more rough on the left. When I asked about it, she stated it was just dry skin. As the massage continued, I became increasingly concerned due to the amount of direct skin-to-skin contact. I asked to see her elbows more closely. I used my phone flashlight to illuminate the dim environment, and I observed that Pat's skin on her elbows appeared red, raised and inflamed, 2 x 2 inches in circumference, covering almost her whole elbow. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for possible exposure to a contagious skin condition, I requested that the massage be stopped. Following this, my husband and I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager. We were initially told that there was no supervisor available and that no one would be available for approximately a month. This response was upsetting and felt unprofessional given the nature of the concern. After continued requests, another individual was eventually reached by phone (She refused to state her name) who communicated more clearly. During that conversation, both my husband and I felt that our concerns were mocked rather than taken seriously, which further added to our distress. I have reported this incident to the Long Beach Health Department and Los Angeles County - Department of Public Health. I am sharing this experience so others are aware of potential health risks, lack of professionalism, and egregious customer-service issues. If others have experienced this, they may consider reporting similar concerns to the appropriate authorities, if encountered. This review reflects my personal experience and concerns.
