I went based on recommendations from friends, and I'm so glad I did. Honestly, it was one of the best massages I've ever had! The service was professional, relaxing, and exactly what I needed. At only $60 for a 60-minute massage, you really can't beat the value. I highly recommend giving them a try--you won't be disappointed! read more

I didn't actually try this foot massage spot; I only took a picture because of the two models dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes. Interestingly, the outfits they are wearing are those of an Emperor and an Empress. It makes absolutely no sense in the context of a foot massage, which gives the whole thing a totally unintentional and humorous feeling. read more

If I could give -0 stars for tonight's experience, I would. Normally our go to for a much deserved massage. Tonight.... Horrible. We stopped the 90 minute body massage 35 minutes in. I feel like I have been beaten up. The male masseuse had zero experience, he kept digging his elbow into my shoulder blades then my tailbone. I had to ask him to stop and move to another part of my back. The hot stones literally lasted 15 seconds..I am not spending another dime here, get it together Little Rainbow. A tiny bit of training on the body mechanics of massage would be awesome. I would really like my money back. read more

All of the masseuses are amazing. There's a couple that are my favorite but they all do a great job. I've been going here for years and it's always consistent and the price is reasonable. I always tip extremely well cause I know that that's what they live off of with the prices being so low. So go in with a 25 to 30% mentality to take care of these hard-working people who are there six days a week. They do an amazing job mornings are best cause it's not crazy busy yet I like the 90 minute full body and also the foot/ back Combo massage. It's fun to go in there with a group and great to treat yourself. read more

We were in town for our anniversary. Worst massage we have ever gotten. No one spoke English, no one knew what we were asking. Their prices differ between customers as we called and went and prices were different. Then the massage, omg horrible. We had a couples massage, the guy had nasty hands with bumps and callouses. He didn't do a good job, the girl working on my husband was even worse. She didn't know how to massage and KEPT PUNCHING HIM. Wtf? Both TALKED THE ENTIRE TIME, plus talked to every person walking by, walked out of the room. Several times and just was horrible. They also didn't do the full 75 min massage. Then we go to pay and they charge us a different price then what was told. wtf. Again. Let just say the extra $$$ went away from their NOT DESERVED TIP. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

Loved this place! Worth the visit, especially as a tired traveler. I felt relaxed for the rest of the day. read more

I don't know why I continue to try this place. I am continually disappointed every single time. I have more of a headache now than when I went in. Where did these people train? As a certified massage therapist, I find myself clenching my teeth the entire timefrom the work that they do on my body. I had some tension in my neck and shoulders today and out of desperation went in to try it again and was sorely disappointed. Next time I even think about going, I hope I will remind myself that it sucks and do not under any circumstances try it again. read more

We walked by this place and were looking at the rates and a woman came out asking us what we were interested in. I was really interested in getting my shoulders massaged for 20 mins, so she said they could take us now so we walked in. They give you the massage first and you pay afterwards, just FYI. We walked into the back room and were asked to take off our shoes and lay face down on a bed. The bed was slightly indented in the middle so it wasn't as comfortable as some other places I've been. They put a towel over me, and they gave me a full body massage. I don't know where we crossed our wires, but I wasn't about to make a fuss in a quiet room with other people getting their massages at the same time as us. The woman who helped me was pretty gentle - Every time there was a knot she stopped and moved to a different part. I told her it was fine if she kept working on it, but she wasn't listening. The majority of the massage was just okay; I wish they would have listened to what I wanted to begin with, but I understand that I only paid for 20 mins. If I wanted something more in-depth I'd have to pay more and add more time. The lady really went for it with my scalp though; That felt really good. When we were done and walked back to the waiting room, the cashier said they were cash only or we could Zelle them. Good thing my husband had cash on hand - Neither of us have Zelle. It would have been nice to know this first. read more

Highly recommend this spot. It's a typical reflexology place with a communal massage area, so you'll share the room with others and stay fully clothed. They work heck outta your feet + hands. I left with a spring to my step. We visited old friends nearby and ended up coming here TWICE in one week. It's that good. This spot is no frills, bur the reflexology is spot on. Def worth the visit! read more

My husband and I decided to stop in here to get a foot rub. We just wanted 30 minutes so they took us right away. The foot messages were outstanding!

My husband and I were not expecting the experience that we had! We had popped in to Little Rainbow without reservations, midweek, and were immediately accommodated. When we left, we turned to each other and said "that's one of the best massages I've ever had". We have been lucky enough to have many massages Throughout our travels so I feel that we have a good means of comparison. The ambience is super funky, so be prepared! The carpets are wanky and old , the lobby is messy and uninviting, but the massage!, Truly a stand out! This place is such a great value. We were completely shocked! If you are looking for a spa type experience, this probably would not be your place. But if you are looking for a really great massage at a really great value, then don't miss the Little Rainbow! We will definitely be back! read more

Last weekend hubby and I were sore and tired from exploring Solvang, so we decided to book a 60 min couples massage. We were put in a private room closed off with a curtain for privacy. It was $60, a bargain at just $1 a minute! I had a male massage therapist and my husband had a masseuse. You get what you paid for, he applied A LOT of pressure and the hot stones were HOT. He did get the majority of my pains out and the staff were very sweet, 4/4 stars. We'll return to try a foot massage. read more

Been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. This place is clean and the staff is knowledgeable and very nice. If you have time, I recommend the two hour massage. They will find all those pesky knots and work them out leaving you feeling like a million bucks. This place will always be our first stop when coming to Solvang. read more

Always get massages here when in town. Clean establishment and staff is friendly. Good service-fair prices. read more

Treat yourself! This is a must stop on your to-do list while in Solvang! A shout out to Ares and Mike! My mom and I had a wonderful experience with both gentlemen. They both know how to work out knots and hit the perfect stress relieving pressure points. Who knew you could have stress in your jaw? The hot rocks were a nice soothing surprise! This was our first time in the more private couples room, highly recommended! We have also had great experiences in the more common area. Thank you Rainbow Foot Spa for a wonderful way to end our 2 day Solvang Thanksgiving getaway! read more

I don't generally like massage. In fact I find most of them painful, uncomfortable, and overall unpleasant so I never want them but on this particular day my body was ACHING and I needed relief for my achy muscles and thought maybe a massage could help and I was right! This is therefore the only massage I have ever enjoyed. I still had moments of awkward discomfort but I felt soooooo much RELIEF immediately! What walked in as tight, stressed, sore and achy muscles on a cold winter night walked out as loose, relieved, soothed, and warm muscles from the warm oils and warm temperature in the building. They accommodated my husband and I as walk ins and were extremely sweet and gracious. The place is modest and simple no frills in terms of decor , aesthetics etc a bit outdated but as long as you're not there for that you will leave satisfied read more

My husband and I were on our way to Paso Robles for a wedding. We left a day early from the OC to spend the day in Solvang. I haven't been to Solvang in about 22 years. As my husband and I strolled the streets of Solvang, it seemed to look different - in a positive way. My husband and I had lunch at the Belgian Cafe. While we were eating our lunch, we noticed the Little Rainbow Foot Spa next door. So after lunch I told my husband we were going in there for a short foot rub and he agreed. We approached the door and asked if they were able to accommodate both my husband and I for a 30-minute foot massage. They said yes! Somehow something got lost in translation. Anyhow, I thought I was being asked to pay upfront before our service which I didn't have a problem with. Then I realized the therapist was selling us two "gift certificates" for two foot massages for later use. I told her that we wanted foot massages right now if they had therapists available. A little embarrassed, she showed us to the open massage room where there were several massage beds. They started with a foot soak in warm/hot water. We both had nice massages. They ended our massages with a little bit of stretching which felt great. My husband and I both agreed that it was a little too loud in the massage room. When you're trying to relax and unwind, soothing music is all I want to hear. But the music was a little too loud and so were a few customers who came in after us. The other complaint that I have is that I am not crazy about the chopping/"slapping" techniques. Again, I am trying to relax and enjoy the massage. The chopping/"slapping" is usually startling (imo) and is like a rude awakening. But, I will have to say, when my husband and I walked out and started walking around the town, our feet felt rejuvenated! I would rate the massage itself as good. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but we definitely felt the difference in our feet! read more

CAT...CAT..CAT Walked in and the place smelled funky. We were greeted by a cat that that was kept on a long rope leash. The littler box was in the front room where you enter. With extra kitty litter lined up against the wall. For those who are sensitive to smells and cats, don't come here! read more

Great massage. It was a hot day and a large group of us (8) decided to see if they had an opening to get out of the sun for a bit. They were able to accommodate 4 people at a time so we did 30 minute massages each. My massage was very relaxing and got some knots out of my back. Staff was very friendly. read more

Massage was good but not the best but needed as we were so tired. Probably the best rates of Solvang and right downtown. We had a reservation for a 60min at 8:30 but we weren't really seen until 9:15 and we changed it to a 90 min I was surprised how late they stayed for us. We did a body and foot combo massage for $75 for 90min, it included hot stones,foot massage outside then private room for the body massage for the other half. Felt good after! read more

Playing with friends, I got tired and happened to pass by. The experience was very good, and the people were very enthusiastic and skilled. They had foot massages, where they first soaked their feet in warm water and then massaged their feet. After the massage, they felt their legs were smooth and comfortable. It was really a great experience read more

I grabbed a flyer for 1-hour foot massage that said $20 from 10am-1pm (from in front of the shop when walking by with my family around 9am). After my husband and I got our son down for his nap, I rushed over and arrived at 12:15pm, thinking that as long as we started by 1pm, I would qualify...or at the very least, I could do 45 minutes. The man inside seemed flustered and pointed to the clock. I asked if I was too late. He didn't answer, but he ushered me into the back room. In the back two or three ladies -- who had massage guests lying on beds -- seemed to chastise him (I couldn't understand the language they were speaking) and seemed very annoyed with me. I stood there awkwardly, not understanding. The man invited me to lie down, covered me with a blanket, and put a towel over my eyes. He left, came back, kept talking with the ladies, and finally tapped on my shoulder. I sat up, and he played a message using a translator app saying that the special offer was not valid but the regular price for 1 hour was $45. I spoke into the translator app saying, "I am sorry I was too late. I thought that if I arrived by 1pm it would qualify. How about we just go 45 minutes until 1pm for the $20. I lose out 15 minutes for being too late?" He said, through the translator app, something about that was impossible and the special has long been changed or discontinued, or something. It wasn't clear. I'm still not sure. (But I **had** gotten the flyer from in front of the shop that very morning). After a bit more awkward back and forth with the app, and the ladies still talking at him disapprovingly, I finally said, "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother. I don't feel comfortable, I'll just go." I left, awkwardly. As a business owner myself, I really don't understand their making me feel so unwelcome. If the man had explained things up front when I first got there, I would have paid full price. Instead, I just felt like a imposition. Even if we agreed on terms and a price, I didn't feel welcome after all that back and forth with the ladies and the translator app and the lying down with a towel on my eyes and then back up. It was just awkward. :/ read more

I had a very good experience here. The massage therapist was very knowledgeable. It will be a place on my "go to list" from now on.

Good, local massage spa. Always friendly and accommodating. Go in stressed, leave relaxed.

Nice little place to get a good and quick massage. Service was great and for $60 you can beat a full body massage for an hour. Worth my time and money and will be coming back next time we re in town. read more

When I was in Solvang this past week, I went to the Rainbow Spa to get a 30-minute body massage. The woman who was massaging me didn't give me a full 30 minutes but stopped at 29 minutes. I was exhausted and had an injured leg so was too tired to bring it up. Thinking maybe it was just a mistake. The massage was excellent though. The next day when I came to get another massage because I was still in great pain, this massage therapist who didn't speak English as well, stopped the massage at 29 minutes as well. I wasn't going to put up with this crap so I said kindly to her to please massage me until it was 30 minutes. She actually massaged me for for about 3 minutes. As a result I gave her a better tip than I normally would because she did a little bit longer. After I tipped her she didn't even say thank you and she looked at what I tipped her and just said "Bye." I thought maybe it was a language barrier problem but I'm sure they know the word thank you! Plus when I looked at the other Yelp reviews I saw that they have a tendency to balk at the tip that they receive. No matter if I gave over the amount that was necessary. Very rude! First of all they try to Jip people out of their time and then they're rude enough to complain about what they get tipped? I'm never going back there again! read more

Not bad Not bad. Happy that they accept walk ins, and the massage was great with adequate pressure and attention to knots. I definitely will be back but it also was unfortunate to walk in and see EVERYONE sleeping. full on nap fest. That was just awkward read more

Horribly disappointed! I asked for $50 body and foot messages. When I went to pay an additional $10 was add for the scrub they used. No one asked if I wanted to an additional scrub to my message. If they would have asked I would have said no! To add insult to injury when I gave the tip I was told, "need to be $10." read more

It's not bougie but it definitely gets the knots out at a convenient price. They use towels instead of blankets and the rooms only have curtain partitions. All of that said if all you're looking for is a really rigorous knot-demolishing full-body massage, it's a win. read more

I had deep tissue with Kevin in Goleta n after 2 days went to urgent care. Damaged my rotator cuff . The pain lasted a month . The staff arrive from china n only watch a video - no training of body anatomy . Please be careful ! Never go there again . read more

I always come here when I'm in Solvang but the salt scrub is new to me. I'm so happy that it was added to the treatment menu. I was greeted by the lovely woman at the front desk and then assisted by her and 4 colleagues to a position on one of the pithy American ("me, friend") beach towels on the massage tables. I chalked the Americana up to pandering to unimaginative or narrow minded patrons, and although in this setting I would prefer something more aligned with Chinese culture, it no longer mattered once I was getting pummeled into submission. The massage was stellar and the salt scrub at the end was perfect! I think I'm hooked on this combination for good! I highly recommend this foot spa! read more

Amazing massage! Super friendly staff and very good therapeutic deep tissue massage. Prices are great and there was no wait! We will be back thank you! read more

This place used to be my go-to foot massage in Solvang. Sadly, it is not anymore. I asked for a 60 min combo massage for $50. After the massage I was charged an additional $10 for a foot scrub that I didn't ask for. They claimed that they asked prior to the start of the massage, but they didn't. I would have declined the scrub had I been asked. Also, one of the massagers complained to my friend's face about her tip and asked for more money and suggested that she could put her tip on her card if she didn't have enough cash. She was really rude. We won't be back. read more

Always a special treat to stop in and enjoy a relaxing massage in the heart of downtown Solvang.

I've never felt so stressed in a reflexology place until now. tl;dr I don't recommend this place. The workers are sleazy. They haggle you for tips. Disrespectful attitude from the workers (I say all the workers because no one intervened the disrespect in the public area). In the middle of mine and my guest's massage, one of the workers interrupted our session by tapping on our arm with the back of her hand multiple times. As I'm laying on my back looking up at her, she carried a very condescending demeanor. We already verified multiple times with the front clerk, a young man, that we wanted a combo 75 minute massage. This lady after getting my attention, leaned against the wall and said with arms crossed, "You want 75 minute massage? You pay?" She began to speak to me in her native language. I couldn't understand her. I asked if she wanted me to pay now. She just laughed and asked if I wanted a combo. I sat up from my session and explained to her what we both wanted. She took a deep breath , rolled her eyes, and continued her session with my guest. I had no understanding why we were being treated with such disrespect. I could not find relaxation in my massage session. It was not therapeutic. It wasn't until later that the lady revealed that she assumed I was of Chinese ethnicity. I'm Filipino. She assumed I understood what she was saying to me but she caught herself and tried to hustle me for more tips. They are sleazy and I do not recommend this massage place. There's a big screen that you can see in the public massage area of the front door. I was situated nearest that front door and I could see and hear all the haggling they did with the other customers. Very disrespectful demeanor. I may not speak their native language, but I know body language and intonation. read more
