    This place is so relaxing!!! I came by cause it hurt so much things about this place!! honestly super clean inside service is a beyond amazing ! It is such an experience that you have to try! At the beginning or at the end of your massage, you can use their massage chair to relax and wine down!

    This new head spa place just opened up in South Pasadena, and I saw their advertising on Instagram so thought I'd give it a try. Let me warn you, this is going to be a novel of a review, so grab your tea, sit back, and see what I experienced, you won't want to miss it! I made an appointment on instagram, specifying what I wanted and when. It seemed fast and easy enough. The day came, I received a confirmation message saying they can't wait to see me at 3:00. Mind you, I made the appointment for 3:30 and won't be able to make it at the time they said. I even sent the screen shot of the initial confirmed time. They were able to accommodate, thank goodness. When I got into the place the first thing I noticed was how aesthetically pleasing, new, and clean it was. Great! When I got to the front desk at 3:20 (10 minutes before my appointment time) a lady came out from the massage area and asked if I had an appointment. Before I go on, I need to mention this, the ENTIRE staff speaks Mandarin as their main language. I gave her my name and appointment time. She didn't know what massage/package I wanted even though they texted me half an hour earlier to confirm my arrival. I wished the staff communicated better with each other and have just one person at the front desk in charge of just booking and guiding the customer through the process and expectations. I mean, I've been to scalp massage places before, but never have I been led to the back and asked to be sat on a massage chair, which by the way had all their buttons in Chinese. She proceeded to set the timer on for 15 minutes and left me to my own devices, literally. My neck is very short and so instead of massaging my upper shoulders, the machine knobs kept circling the base of my head, which was quite uncomfortable and I didn't know how to change that! There was no one around for me to ask. So as I sat there waiting for the 15 minutes to pass, wondering if this was going to cut into my 70 minute scalp massage treatment (spoiler alert, it didn't, again thank goodness). When the 15 minutes were up, the massaging chair stopped, and my head was no longer bobbing back and forth, I sat there for another few minutes wondering if I should get up and say something or sit there like an idiot not knowing what was going to happen next. I decided on the latter. Finally someone came (who happens to be my head spa masseuse) and asked if I could wait 25 minutes before she can start on me. Umm, no. First off, my appt is at 3:30, 70 minute spa would make the appt end at 4:40 and I set it at that time since I need to pick my daughter up at 5pm. So I told her no, I can't do that. She said ok, that's fine she will start working on me. This is getting long, follow for part 2. Haha jk but seriously, other than my masseuse giving me the 70 minutes I paid for and explained my scalp condition to me in the beginning and end, the whole hair washing was okay. She was quite strong in massaging my head that I had to ask her to go softer. I expected a facial massage and cleanser or some type of face treatment too (like how other places do) but she didn't touch my face at all, other than the heated eye pads that were too hot and I had to ask to remove (in her defense, she did warn me prior to putting it on). Again, wished someone told me the whole process of what to expect every step of the way before it was done. The shampooing and massaging of the neck and body was okay. There was a lot of repetitive motions. Half an hour into my massage, someone brought their kid in and was talking in Mandarin the entire time. It was difficult to relax. The only positive? I did like the scent of the conditioner they used. I think that was the highlight. This place has a lot of potential as it was a nice setting with individual rooms and calming scents and I wish them all the best. But for now, it's not a place for me. Please work on staff communication and explaining to customers what to expect. Maintain a quiet atmosphere and diversify the massage and shampooing techniques. I tipped my masseuse well knowing how much time she spent on me. Hopefully management sees this and improve form future customers. Thanks for sticking to the end! Enjoy your day :)

    Drinks in the waiting room

    I called in to make an appointment and let the front desk lady know that I found this place on spa finder to which she responded "oh yes we do take spafinder gift cards but only up to $50." This was fine by me. When it was time to check out, they told me that they don't accept spa finder gift cards on weekends-- only Mondays-Fridays. I felt like this could have been mentioned when I was making the appointment. So we ended up paying $98 each for scalp treatments. Pros: - beautiful inside -clean - equipment is updated -drinks and massage chairs in the waiting room - was able to get a private room (I booked for 2) -my hair was extremely soft after! -technicians checked in on how I was doing often and even put a blanket over me since I was cold! Cons: - the gloves that the technicians wore tugged on my hair quite a bit during treatment so I wasn't able to fully relax -technician was also having a conversation with someone during my appointment :( - the technicians didn't seem that skilled during the massage portions - there was little to no explanation of what was happening during the entire process. My scalp was shown through a camera and then I went straight into treatment. And at the end I was quickly shown my scalp again and then some kind of comb was put through (not sure what it does because no explanation) For the price I expected a little more out of it. Unfortunately this felt like an expensive hair wash.

    Purchased a Groupon for this new head spa at the end of 2024. Called to make an appointment and was told that don't take Groupon. I shared with him that this must be a mistake because I obviously have one and it matches the business name and number as well as address. I then asked for a manager to call me back, which no one ever did. I ended up contacting Groupon and hassling with them for a few days and eventually they gave me a refund. Groupon did speak to the spa and they simply told them that they didn't wanna take any more Groupon they sold.

    Gift certificate

    I purchased this gift certificate from the sales rep named Mark when I tried to book an appointment they said it was expired but clearly gift certificate does not have an expiration date they asked for proof, said they would show the owner and get back to me they clearly can't communicate.

    Free sodas,Coffee and tea

    My friend and I want to treat ourself and have some girl's time,So why not scalp spa right? Elegant Scalp Spa were where we wanna give it a tried. Vibe : The place look nice and clean.A little bit moderate noise which I secretly hope it could be more quiet but anyway vibe was good! By the way,They offered free sodas,tea and coffee OMG we loved it! Service : It's worth the price and we went since they open in the morning,So not many people yet and all the staffs are nice and friendly.We chose gold package and it's just what we needed,The only thing I wish it would be different was that they used a varieties of hair product that fit the needed of clients.My hair and my scalp came out great and clean but I've been to the other scalp spa and my hair came out softer and smoother that's all. Parking : Plenty of street parking but make sure to read the signs where you can and can't park. Overall Do I wanna go back for the second time? Absolutely! It's a good place overall.

    Today was an incredible experience meeting my favorite Jenny. She's incredibly talented and I can't stop gushing about her hands.

    Best experience with Jenny. Please try her and come and enjoy your day. Her skill is beyond I expected .they have combo massage scalp +body

    As a massage therapist myself of 20 years I expect the therapist to know muscle anatomy and…read morealignment with the client's needs. Highlights vs. concerns First impression:** May was waiting on arrival; session lasted 90 minutes. Technique issues:** The first 45 minutes involved using her feet to rub over the sheets, which was VERY painful and not therapeutically effective. I kept telling her ouch... it hurts. Missed targets:** I explicitly asked to focus on my neck and shoulders, but the massage emphasized arms and legs. Even after flipping, the upper back/shoulders/traps did not receive the requested attention with only 10 minutes left. And then she proceeded to go back onto my legs, and I had to tell her no. She then went to my shoulders for two minutes or less, and then proceeded to rub my rhomboids. I told her my shoulders and traps hurt not my rhomboids. I don't think she understood. Like I said it's a language barrier... and if I'm pain, I feel it's not my responsibility to educate. Communication:** There may have been a language barrier contributing to misalignment with my goals. Bottom line This session did not meet my expectations for anatomy-informed, goal-directed work. A different therapist at the same clinic or clearer pre-session communication might yield better results. The massage was probably one of the worst massages I've ever had.. And I definitely will not be back to try anybody else. When looking into another room, all the rooms seem to have bars on the ceiling and look like they may all have the same technique... not a fan!

    I've been coming here to get massages from Lucky since 2017, so I think it's about time I write a…read morereview! First off, Lucky is wonderful. I have back and neck problems and have gotten at least one massage a month for the last 10+ years. For the last several years, Lucky is the only therapist I've gone to. She's consistent, understands anatomy and musculature, and she tailors the massage to your needs. I prefer medium-pressure Swedish style, but shes versatile and she'll supplement with some stretching or even walking on your back if you request it, and I've enjoyed the therapeutic value of both of those things on occasion. She's a very capable massage therapist, and for me, her massages are the perfect blend of bodywork and relaxation. The facilities are clean, and the front desk staff is consistently friendly and helpful. I've been to this spot since it was called The Massage Place, then The Massage Hub, and now Massage One Wellness. I purchase massage packages to take advantage of the package discount, and I've never had any issues with them honoring my package when they've changed the store name. I see some reviews where gift cards weren't honored; maybe it's a physical gift card instead of the packages purchased at the front desk? I always pre-buy the package when I'm checking out, and the package is then digitally associated with my account. If you're looking for a quality massage for a fair price, try Lucky at Massage One!

Every part of me was achy and sore. Laughing hurt. I was feeling well enough to finally go outside and called Massage Villa. They were super nice over the phone and said they could take me right away, but only for a half hour as they were closing. The half hour felt longer as my masseuse, Nina, was able to do a lot in that short time. She could intuitively feel where things hurt on me and gently worked out the muscles without hurting me. My back even cracked - without her doing anything to crack it- as my muscles relaxed and it fell back into place. It was kind of a miracle, because within 30 mins I walked out with no pain. I for sure would come here again and do a longer massage. The establishment was fairly barebones, but nice enough and the massage was better than any I have had in a long time. Plus it's super convenient.

She seemed pissed. So he turned around, got out his wallet and gave her an extra $5. We left and he said "I'm never coming back here again".
