OMG!! This place is amazing. Tina was who did my massage and she was wonderful. This was my first time at a traditional community Chinese massage spa like this and I was definitely missing out. Pressure was perfect, time spent on each part of my body was even and well thought out. Make an appointment if you are wanting specific timeframe. Also consider bringing cash for discounted rate. Also please be kind as this is a traditional Chinese massage spa and folks who work here are amazing at what they do and speak their language of origin. Be patient and relax because what they do is hard work! read more

Happy Feet Spa - Massage bed and space. - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I am visiting Boston and I searched up "best massage places" on TikTok which led me here. I saw a few good reviews and I love a good hole in the wall, so I decided why not! Trust me, I wanted to love this place so bad!!! I was so excited and came in with a positive attitude. The massage itself is not typical. You stay clothed and there are no rooms, just curtain dividers which kind of threw me off but whatever, I was still feeling hopeful. My first red flag was the fact that they did not ask my preference regarding the gender of the masseuse. They gave me a man which I don't typically allow but it was fine because I was clothed. Anyways, the part of the massage, the head and neck was nice. The feet portion was absolutely horrendous. My standards are not high but this straight up did not feel good at all. He had two long nails that were DIGGING into my skin when he was "massaging". Genuinely every moment I was wishing for it to be over. Even without the nails, it would still have been uncomfortable because the pressure points and areas where he was massaging were not right. I actually left feeling worse. I understand that I could have gotten up and left but I wanted to see if it would eventually improve? When I was paying, the woman arrogantly asked "how will you be paying for the tip?". I told her I would not be tipping because I didn't enjoy the service and she demanded reasoning... what is up with these people? I feel so annoyed that I wasted my money on this!! I take responsibility for not standing up for myself but I'm still pissed! My feet hurt even now while writing this. I'm sure the quality of service differs between employees but I wouldn't take my chances. read more

There was two of us and we got the basic foot massage. Just bring cash because they do charge extra for using your card, but we were late and they were still very helpful and OK with it and it felt excellent for 45 minutes. I was in a euphoric relaxing journey. read more

Happy Feet Spa - Front desk - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here one day because I was in a need for a massage and this was worth it! I called in advanced and I would recommend it because they were very busy for a Friday afternoon. There were people that just walked in as well and was seen very quickly. This massage place is pretty bare bones and it's not a super luxurious environment. Once you decide how long you want the massage for, you're taken into the back room where there are multiple stations. You get started with a foot soak, followed by a head massage, and then the foot reflexology. I did a 45 minute session and I felt great afterwards and it was fairly inexpensive. I paid and tipped in cash and I would definitely come back! read more

After being in town for a conference and walking 7-10 miles per day, my feet needed some relaxation! Found this place! Was able to walk in without an appointment and they got me right in! With the hour service also had a head, neck, shoulder and arm massage. It was just the ticket needed!! read more

I LOVE a foot massage! You can't go wrong with Happy Feet. It's a vibe that has you covered from head to toe! I got a 45 minute massage but the masseuse gave me 15 minutes of head, shoulders and arms prior to completing the foot massage. She asked if I was okay and if pressure was good throughout and ended with some leg stretches. I'll be back every time I visit Boston!! Approximately $55 for $45 minutes. You can't beat it! read more

Happy Feet Spa - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Happy Feet Spa offers great full body massages. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm and the massages are well worth the money!

I had an amazing experience! Best massage, hit all of the pressure points, so relaxing. I am a college student and Happy Feet Spa is an amazing quality at an affordable price. I have had massages in Japan on vacations, the Four Seasons in Boston, and the Bellagio in California - and my massage with Linda was the best. I highly recommend, I did a 60 minute session but I will be returning to try their 90 minute session. read more

I would highly recommend this spot. It's extremely affordable, it;s relaxing an soothing. The temperature is just right while soft tranquil music is playing. Lighting is dark and cozy. My best foot massage previously was in the Philippines, but now Happy Feet is my favorite. They first wash your feet then provide a hot towel wrap to soften the feet. Then they serve fresh fruit and work on shoulders and neck while seated on a chair. The arms are also massaged as well. After they work on your feet, there was a tiny bit of discomfort from the hot stones used but besides that the masseuse was able to rearch my flat feet. I did not face any issues with payment or gratuity. My hidden gem in Boston! I can not recommend Happy Feet enough! Everyone was pleasant read more

Was NOT thrilled with this foot spa (I've been to several and have experience with them). Let's start with their massage is ROUGH. I'm a fan of deep tissue massages but this was beyond that- VERY painful. Even when you ask them to go lighter, they don't. 20% of the massage is rubbing, the other 80% is pounding/hitting you. What really annoyed me about my experience was checkout. The lady taking my payment was NOT happy with an 18% tip. She would not break my $20 because "look, look here, THIS is how much 20% tip is". She would NOT accept any tip less than what SHE wanted (was very demanding). I found it to be very rude, and quite frankly, it caught me off guard. If there is a mandatory 20% tip, then include it in the original price, or post a sign. Just found the entire tipping experience to be very off-putting, I still can't believe how unappreciative she was of my tip, and I will NOT return. Looks like SEVERAL reviews complain about the tipping problem; wish I would've read those before I went. read more

I've had sooo many massages and body treatments and 'reflexology' in my life that I feel like I could write a book about it. I've been to places that were over the top expenses and some more reasonable ones and even a school. THIS place is the best! I had Jing and the whole experience was incredible. AND, I actually can feel the noticeable difference the next day. It's a pleasant place. The actual service was beyond wonderful. I wish more places were like this. And, to be honest, at these prices, you should be tipping heavily. I'm in the service industry myself and really, really, appreciate the dedication and the respectful vibe given. read more

Really phenomenal massage! I had Jing and my wife had Susan and both of us left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The foot soak isn't just hot water, but hot tea, and the reclining chairbeds are really really comfortable. Definitely going to be our go-to spot whenever we're in town! read more

I went in for a 90-minute massage, and the woman spent half her time during the first hour on her cell phone texting and then returning to do the massage. You could tell she had no interest in being there. I watched others getting a massage, and it was way more intense than the little strokes I got after every 10-minute intervals. I literally had to get up and leave because it felt like a joke. The woman doing my massage seemed more attentive to her cell phone than the client. Terrible! I doubt I'll be back here again. Not worth the reception or service. read more

Wow. I've been to a lot of different spots but Mike at Happy Feet was seriously skilled. I wasn't sure about having the massage in the open room but in the end it was perfectly fine. He had the perfect amount of pressure to not only "fix" a few things but also help me relax. There's something about a massage therapist that really understands muscles, bones, joints, etc. Mike was one of those guys; experienced and talented. I definitely found the foot massage to be particularly good compared to others I had as he was able to spot an injury I had and do a little work to loosen things up. Definitely a STEAL at $55 per hour. But, it allows you to tip well. read more

I had one heck of an amazing massage here today. I had no appointment, and was lucky to be able to walk in and get going. The man worked my back and lower back and it was the best deep tissue massage I had. All this while my feet were soaking in warm water. Next he worked my feet, toes, calves and it was amazing. All I wanted is a blanket to feel cozy. The massage made me want to doze off, it felt amazingly great! Will be back for sure. read more

I had a gift certificate to this reflexology place so I went here this month for an hour long foot massage. I had to wait for a few minutes before someone came out to greet me. The staff took me into a dark room in the back and had me seated. One of the male massage therapists initially brought out a tub of warm water for me to soak my feet. Then, he gave me a massage on my neck, shoulders and back for 20 minutes. It was definitely like a deep tissue massage. It was awesome! Then, for the next 40 minutes, he concentrated on massaging both of my feet. It was a very relaxing experience. They also gave you a dish of orange slices to enjoy during the massage. Definitely recommend this place if you are around Chinatown... read more

Best massage after a long bus trip . Great professionals, quiet , dark the offer a beverage or oranges. Definitely be back.

Nicely designed place and clean ambience. Not much of a welcome or greeting upon arrival. Very little communication overall which was confusing and a bit cold. Reflexology massage was solid but it ended up being 50 minutes instead of an hour. No questions about pressure or pain points / injuries. Tea and orange slices were a nice touch. As seems to be standard at these type of places, any tip amount will be scoffed at and unappreciated. Really leaves a sour taste as a last interaction before exiting. I can't imagine they get many return customers. read more

Ever had a traditional Chinese foot massage before? If not, THIS IS A MUST TRY. This place was recommended to me by a coworker who lived in China for several years. She said she traveled the states and tried several places, but this spot in Boston is the only place that came the closest to what she experienced in China. I personally have nothing to compare this experience to, but I can say I would much rather spend my money on this massage vs a back massage at an expensive fancy parlor. With the traditional Chinese foot massage, they not only massage your feet but also your head, neck, back, arms, hands, fingers, and legs!!! You even get hot tea, oranges, a hot towel and hot stones. I took my dad here when he came into town and he loved it!!!! If you've never done this go and if you have, go anyway! You won't be disappointed! read more

Happy Feet is my happy place! Whenever I'm feeling down or my body is aching, Happy Feet's got my back. I found this place over a year ago and I've been coming back ever since as often as I can. If you didn't know, reflexology is basically a form of alternative medicine where the focus on the pressure points of your feet to resolve issues in other parts of your body. There is no scientific evidence that it is an effective cure for any medical condition, so I won't go into it; but reflexology is a great way for me to relax and balance my mind and body. Ever since I've been getting reflexology, I've noticed that my muscles are more relaxed, especially the ones in my back that are affected by my scoliosis. With Happy Feet, I am usually seated right away because I make appointments beforehand. I rarely have to wait, and I've noticed them ask people to come back if they don't make appointments if they're busy. Inside, they offer complimentary orange slices and a beverage of your choice (I usually stick to tea or water, but they also have juice and soda). You're first seated on the ottoman to soak your feet in an herbal bath while they work on your head, neck, back, and arms. Then, they'll dry off your feet and you move to a chair to work on your feet and legs. The chairs are nice and comfortable and they give you pillows to lean back on. I usually wear dresses or shorts when I go to get reflexology, and they'll lay a towel on me to cover my legs. Afterward, there's usually a hot stone rubdown and some additional legwork. I've worked with several of the reflexologists there and I've never had a bad experience. The most recent time I went, I saw some new people, but I also saw a lot of the regulars. If you're wary of trying out new reflexologists, then be sure to call in and make an appointment with a specific person, but they're all pretty good. Some will have different specialties, but the process is generally the same. My one small warning: I don't speak Chinese and I don't have any major health/body issues -- so I don't have to communicate much aside from the basics. If you do need to tell them something specific about your body, you may not be able to because many of the reflexologists don't seem to have strong English skills. All in all, I always leave with happy feet; so I definitely recommend. read more

Dude woke up and chose violence. I am someone who his a high pain threshold, I got up left midway thru my message. I asked the gentleman to ease up a little, he kept going harder and harder with each stroke. I'm sure I'm going to be covered in bruises tomorrow, I have a massive headache now, and I regret going to this place. 0 out of 10 do not recommend. read more

Great place for a respite from the streets of Boston. Clean, friendly and very relaxing. Would go back

Desperately needed a foot massage the day after I spent the entire night on the dance floor at my wedding & then walked around Boston all day. Call at 5:40 on a Saturday night & was able to book a 60 minute massage for 6pm that night. The massage was overall very good & left my feet feeling so much better! I will say I had to ask multiple times for more pressure and it would last a minute or so because going back to something a lot softer than I would have liked. But other than that, it was great! read more

One hour foot massage for $45. Included shoulder, neck, etc seated massage. Very deep tissue. Convenient Lincoln Street (leather district) location. Entry way location has shabby carpet, but once inside as expected. Cannot beat the price compared to intercontinental massage quoted at $140. Bit of a language barrier, but very friendly, kept checking in about pressure. Made my day. read more

This is an awesome deep tissue massage and foot rub. It rejuvenates your body & get you back out walking the city. We were in Boston for a week and I had 2 massages. I loved it. I recommend calling first and setting up an appointment, same day is ok. Go for 90 minutes. In walking distance if your staying around downtown or Boston Common. Thank Happy Feet team, I'll see the next time around. read more

Worst massage I've ever received ever, they just hit your feet. They have no background in This at all

You pissed me off, Happy Feet, and that makes me UNHAPPY. VERY. UNHAPPY. I called on Monday to make an appointment for today, Wednesday. Someone had told me about you months ago, so I took advantage of a day off and figured that I would jump on that Groupon deal and head in. I even gave up what turned out to be the only sunny day in about a week as well I arrive, just off the commuter rail, to find that the woman I spoke with NEVER WROTE THE APPOINTMENT IN THE BOOK. NEVER. WROTE. THE . APPOINTMENT. DOWN. So I had no appointment. I gave up my sunny day off, took the (sketchy) commuter rail for nothing, and THEN had to wait 1 hr 45 minutes until the next train from South Station. Yeah. Once again, this makes me VERY UNHAPPY. VERY. UNHAPPY. I called from my other phone which was at home, and the girl asked me what time I called on Monday; "I don't know... afternoon.... I spoke with a woman" was my answer. I couldn't show her my phone (since it was at home to prove this call) but it turns out it was THE MANAGER I spoke with. EVEN BETTER!! The MANAGER didn't write down the appointment! However, if you, Happy Feet, are reading this and would like a screenshot of my phone, please message me so I can get that to you ASAP. Besides, even if I had the phone with me at that time, you still couldn't get me in. Idea: Even though I repeated myself on the phone and confirmed the date/day/time of my appointment, maybe they could call. Better yet, hire someone who just writes down appointments (now THAT is an idea). Finally, I want my $13.50 for the train back. Seriously, message me because I want it back. In closing: don't make an appointment because it obviously just won't happen. read more

HOT MESSES - LEARN HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS! Foot massages are usually "ok" especially for the price. However, this place is always so disorganized and scheduling an appointment can take years off your life thanks to the hot messes behind their counter. Scheduling via phone isn't any better since no one seems to know how to speak English at this shit-show. Today I walked in, was told I would be next, and then waited the 30 mins for the next time slot. Right before I was about to be seen, two customers walked in for the same appointment time I was promised. The receptionist turned to me and haphazardly said, "sorry, we do not have time for you now." NEVER AGAIN! read more

Awful place- someone check this out- they put a front as a reflexology but it's untrained folks trying to massage? It was painful and felt bruising the next day- also agree with other users, was pressured to tip more than 20%. Needless to say will not be going back . Hope those three extra dollars were worth it read more

I would not recommend this place. Firstly it is not professional at all. After this I did not feel any relaxation and my boyfriend even felt headache because of the cold wind during the massage. Secondly they asked for 30 dollars tips! 33% of the price. I don't think their massage worth this amount of money. I would never go there again. read more

BEST foot massage! Very clean, sanitary and RELAXING‼ I went back the very next day with my hubby who expounded, "let's come here every day". Too bad we are visiting from out of town..... Enjoy YOUR Boston trip with a visit to charming China Town and Happy Feet Foot Massage. read more

A good no frills spot. Masseuse was very experienced. The other reviews about English abilities are true ... if you have very specific needs, you may need to pay double elsewhere, but for me, I look forward to coming back again and again: read more

Came here while in town for work and got a pretty solid foot massage. It's definitely not fancy but they seemed clean and the massage was pretty good. Price is very reasonable as well. Would definitely come back here. read more

Only not 5 as we thought it was a table Massage spot. We both have aches and pains and wanted a good rub down and for being a chair massage only and through a towel... can't rate the massage high enough. It isn't a very private establishment and you are sharing the room with others with a few partitions between some chairs. Massage was great over clothes while you soak your feet and then the reflexology was to die for. Also you are served orange slices and water during the session which hit the spot! Would go back :) read more

Okay, I saw all the 5-star​ reviews and thought it's got to be at least good... right? NO NO NO I go to Chinatown in NYC regularly for foot massages. I've been having foot massages for around 10 years. This is a poor excuse for foot massage reflexology. First, the place is dirty. We made an appointment for 2 people for ONE HOUR treatments. They do NOT set a timer when they start. If you want to test this place out because you're lured in by the supposed 5-star​ reviews or by some living social deal then fine. But SET a timer and show them you're doing it. The one hour massage lasted just under 50 minutes. The first part of the foot massage is for some reason a 15 minute back/shoulder massage. While it was an attempt at deep tissue massage (which I happen to love) they push quite hard on the cervical spine (neck) which is delicate. This can be very dangerous! They stick their knee in your back on both sides... I've no clue why. They finally get to your feet. I kept thinking they'd eventually​ get it right. Again, having had consistently​​y amazing foot massages I found that this staff had no ability to know where to focus and just kept rubbing over, nearly missing the reflexology points. It was so disappointing. They at 35 minutes​ into the whole thing (including back/shoulder thing) they bring out the warm towel to wash off the massage cream. WAIT!!! it's only 35 minutes. I kept thinking there was going to be something next... NOPE took nearly 7 minutes of the warm towel and hot stones (they didn't really know how to use the stones) followed by 7 minutes of punching your thighs. Yup... that's it, ​folks. TIP: Set a timer if your still intent on trying it. read more

Had a Groupon as a gift - location was good, parking was easy. Massage itself was awesome and I had really wanted to come back here on a regular basis until....I went to leave and hand the tip to the women in the front, she counted it and told me it's too little, asking asking more money and trying to peek in my wallet to see if I had more cash. Super unprofessional- the tip was above 15%. Unfortunately will not come back again because of this. read more

A wonderful reflexology massage in a calm peaceful setting. The staff checks your temperature before you are allowed to enter. While my feet soaked in a warm tub of water my scalp, neck, and shoulders were massaged. The reflexology massage on my feet, hands, legs, and arms was one of the best I have enjoyed. read more

I love this place. They are so amazing. A big bucket of hot water soaks your feet while you get an amazing head and shoulder massage. Then the acupressure takes you to heaven. Also very good deals so keep a look out! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Happy Feet Spa. It's no frills but it's SO relaxing. I showed up early for my appointment and they got me in right away. I wouldn't go here if you had a serious injury or muscle issue but if you more want just a little tension relief it's perfect. As other mentions you put your feet in a bucket of hot water while they do a back,arm, hand and head massage. Then move to the big chair for a wonderful foot/leg massage. For $45 you really can't go wrong. read more

What a horribly run "business." First off, this place is near impossible to find! I arrived at 155 for my 2 pm appointment today (which I called to make TWO weeks ago and took the afternoon off of work to treat myself to a relaxing massage). When I arrive, there was noone in sight, so I had a seat on the couch in the waiting area. After a couple of minutes, a man came out of one of the rooms. I told him I had a 90 min appt at 2. He told me to wait a few minutes then disappeared. After 5 more minutes of waiting, I called their phone number (figuring someone had to come out to answer, right?) I heard no phone ring, but a woman picked up (from God knows where!) and told me that their 1 pm appt was late and they could take me at 215. Now, I live an hour away and coordinated my appt around the train schedule, so I couldn't wait 15 minutes PAST my appointment time. I left and am totally disgusted at the lack of professionalism. HONOR your appointments!! Pissed I wasted an afternoon of PTO on this joke of a business. STAY AWAY! Prices are so cheap and you get what you pay for! read more
