I've been back to see Mandy three times now, and each visit has shown how much she truly cares. She takes the time to understand the root cause of my pain and tailors the session to what my body actually needs. Her full-body deep tissue work is exceptional -- thorough, intuitive, and incredibly effective. Highly recommend! read more

Was in desperate need of a massage but not willing to spend a fortune for a bougie place. I found Mandy's just looking for stuff in a 5 mile radius and sent a message over Yelp and scheduled something for the same day within 2 hours. This place is tucked away upstairs in a suite at some chiropractor's office. You have to get buzzed in and go upstairs. If it does matter to you, the ambiance is not exactly luxurious - no aromatherapy or special views. Just some meditation music playing out of an ipad and a couple candles. Regardless, the massage itself was great. Mandy really goes at all the knots and ensures the massage is from head to toe. It was a very well spent 60 minutes. read more

See all

Mandy was responsive when I was trying to book her. However she didn't show up on the day and time of the appointment. I waited 15' and called 3 times she did not pick up. read more

Mandy is definitely a gem. I've been in a lot of pain and having tightness all over from lack of care to myself. I've been struggling to find someone near my since I moved to sunset, and found Mandy on yelp. I was able to book a last minute 90 min deep tissue appointment. We started off talking about what has been hurting me, problem areas, and what I usually do for pain relief. She was so intuitive to feel what was sensitive and needed extra or less pressure during the session. And she is very easy to talk to and explain the what's and why's of our body's pain. I'm pretty sore after, but that's because I have such tight muscles and they've been ignored for so long that they are sensitive. She even did some gua sha on me, which she was very careful to explain how it works and the potential redness it leaves temporarily. I've had gua sha before so I dont mind, but some people could be scared of it. read more

Mandy has a small, but quiet place on Taraval- very convenient to get to via public. Parking is also not bad if you need to drive. I have been to Mandy's 3 times- first time for my son who had a bad accident and twice for my upper shoulder pain. Her prices have gone up significantly, but given her operations and quality- I don't mind at all. Mandy speaks fluent Cantonese and decent english, but some of the things she's explaining technically is best if you know beginner/intermediate Cantonese. She is best bookable by text and seems quite busy on certain days given her regulars. I will only describe my last two visits given the first was a few years ago (but recall being satisfied with our service after the first visit). I went in for much needed shoulder and neck pain, which was getting worse by the day. The pain has never subsided there before, but seemed fueled by sleep positions and likely stress(?). I went to see Mandy and first visit, did a 60 min deep tissue massage. She spent about 40 minutes on my painful side to release my neck and shoulder. She really found specific trigger points to help me release some deep deep knots. She also gua sha'ed my neck and upper shoulders to release pain. It created some marks (similar to cupping) that went away after a few days, but you could see where blood and possible qi were stagnant in my neck and shoulders. After the first visit, I was VERY much relieved. I could move around more freely without soreness. My second visit was a week later, anticipating lingering pain. Lo and behold, my neck was stiffening up again but not to the same degree as previous. This time I got the 90 minute massage and reflexology session. I have been to many reflexologists and believe in its connected healing powers. I haven't had the same kind of pain since, and it has been about a month. I will definitely be back to see her anytime I have any issues. I wish I could go more regularly for maintenance!! read more

Did not end up going here due to switching location to South Bay, but Mandy is very responsive. Will consider if I am in sunset SF next time! read more

Mandy is such a gem!!! She responds quickly and very accommodating. Her massage room si simple but extremely clean. She gave me a wonderful 60 minute massage and she took care of what I needed for the massage. She is very pleasant and I will definitely go back!! read more

Mandy gave me an excellent reflexology treatment. She has a lot of experience and has affordable rates. My only issue is that she is at the top of a long flight of stairs which is hard for disabled people. read more

Tried reflexology on my feet for the first time.... I have been having so many problems with pain in my feet and Mandy has the touch. I will be going back read more

Booked an appointment through Yelp messaging and she confirmed at 4:30 pm same day. I arrive 8 minutes early and stay waiting outside for 35 minutes. No answer at the door, no answer to phone calls or text messages. Bizarre!! Especially when SHE CONFIRMED THE TIME TODAY not even an hour earlier. read more

Mandy really helped me with neck and shoulder pain. She helped release a lot of pain. I added on for reflexology. She's truly the best. Her space is very professional, and easy to get to. Highly recommend. read more

Today, It was my first time going to this location. And I didn't know what to expect. Mandy welcomed me and brought me to the massage room. When it came to the actual massage, I was stunned and amazed, she applied decent pressure to the places I told her about and it was amazing. She took care of me and explained to me what I needed to do. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Mandy. read more

Great massage .. my appointment start later and finish early. thats my only complaint Massage was very professional and relaxing. All my knots are gone. As mandy said i feel younger . i feel younger. Very quiet room.. Thank you Mandy read more

Mandy's great! Very knowledgeable about circulatory systems, eastern medicine, and delivers a great massage at an affordable price.

Based on Mandy's response to my initial review, it's clear that she admits to what she had done, and doesn't respect and/or heed to a customer's instruction. If my service requests had been for medical reasons, she could have caused some major injuries that can result in legal liability. That being said, I would highly recommend that others spend the extra money and look for massage services from qualified massage therapists. I've definitely learned my lesson, the hard--and painful--way. read more

Mandy's Massage - Cupping, without permission. So painful, and she didn't even do it right! As you can see, she didn't just cup and leave it there. - Massage Therapy Near Me - San Francisco, California

Mandy provides a great foot massage! She definitely knows what she's doing. Will be back.

Mandy is amazing! She is very affordable and replies quickly to messaging. I love Mandy because she assesses and knows exactly where to work the hardest in your body. She adjusts the strength according to your preference. She has saved me from a stiff neck multiple times. She also has given pointers to prevent the muscle tension building in the future. I always come out of Mandy's place feeling rejuvenated. read more

Isn't it amazing when you walk into a parlor and just get to work without too many explanations needed? My shoulder blades are on fire and I just knead someone to bash those pesky knots out. Mandy knew what she needed to do the moment I pointed to my upper back. She got to work and my only regret 30 mins later was that I booked a 30 min appointment and not a 1 hour one. 30 mins were sufficient for her to give me 180º of unobstructed neck movement though. No other disturbances in this little room because you're the only customer, a soothing and relaxing experience. read more

Mandy did an amazing job! I got 30 min upper back and shoulders and will definitely be coming back here.

Mandy magically works out every sore muscle you may have. No. Just kidding. It's not magic, just finding the right knots and working on them with just the right amount of deep pressure. Try her. You'll love it. read more

I love seeing Mandy. She's nice, gentle and very good at her job. She is knowledgeable about pressure points and muscles. I got into a car accident and had a very tight neck. I went for a 90 min deep tissue massage and I feel like a new person. She does do a full body massage though. But she says there are pressure points in your legs that help your shoulders and neck. She says it helps with the blood circulation. I asked her to spend more time on my neck and she did a great job. 100% recommend and I'm picky about massages. read more

Mandy surprised me with a good massage! I didn't know what to expect with the reviews, but I'm glad I gave her a shot. She was quick with responding in Yelp messages and was accommodating to me being a few mins late. I only give 4 stars because I wish she used more oil. Other than that it was relaxing and helpful to my overall soreness. I will definitely come back! read more

I don't want anyone else to come to Mandy as she won't be available when I need her. She is absolutely one of the best massage therapists I have had (all over the world from dives to posh). A treasure. Gets all the kinks out. Beware she does hurt sometime as she digs to get at the tough knots! read more

I've been seeing Mandy once a week for about a year now and am very happy with her service. My weekly appointments (I get the 90-minute body & reflexology combo, plus cupping every other week) are a major part of my "self-care" routine and help tremendously with stress and anxiety. Even my fiancé notices the difference - especially when I miss a session :P. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone! Looking over Mandy's other reviews, I do understand some of the criticism but can also understand the "why" of it all. When Mandy leaves the room mid-massage unannounced, it's usually to go wash her hands after massaging the leg/feet and before the head/face portion of the massage. [I had a previous massage therapist who did not do this - despite being a bit "fancier" - and it always deeply bothered me.] Sometimes Mandy's phone rings and she will pick it up, which can be distracting, but the way I see it is: she's a small business owner working entirely on her own and trying hard to accommodate all her clients. I can forgive the occasional interruption knowing that I'll get a good massage. [That said, maybe an answering service would help during sessions, but I speak zero Chinese and don't know how to communicate this politely.] I've never felt forced or upsold into a treatment. I have found Mandy to be respectful, gracious, and kind. She seems genuinely invested in my well-being. I feel lucky to have found her! read more

At the end of a long week there's really nothing better than a nice long massage (barring the price). Fortunately Mandy, a JEWEL in the sunset, was available for a same day appointment and I booked myself a Swedish massage within the next few minutes for the following afternoon. Mandy's room is a little difficult to find. Look for the chiropractor office and her sign outside, and press the button on the side to get buzzed in. Her room is pretty small and if I have one complaint, it's that the curtain's a little thin and doesn't provide a lot of privacy (I waited until the door was closed before I started changing). I got to my appointment 15 minutes early and Mandy was free to start my massage early. I haven't done too many massages but I really appreciated that she did some deep tissue techniques as well. At the end I regretted not buying the 90minute service instead. Her prices are extremely reasonable and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Mandy is absolutely amazing! Deep tissue with cupping 90 minutes is a must. I also do the reflexology combo every few visits... all exceptional!! I get massages regularly for my health and enjoyment and Mandy is one of the best out there! read more

I have been having back and shoulder pain that's causing me to have trouble sleeping at night. So I booked a 60 minutes deep tissue full body massage trying to see if it helps. Mandy was very experienced, she started relaxing the tighten muscles on my back and could immediately tell that my problem was caused by long hours of desk work. She suggested to add cupping after the back massage, as that would improve blood circulation and help loosen up the back and shoulder for a longer lasting effect. I can feel the effect almost immediately, the shoulder and back pain are gone and I can feel my whole body is definitely more relaxed. read more

Mandy is fantastic! Quality massage. Affordable. She responded quickly to my inquiry, and was willing to be flexible with times. The location, at least from the street view is an "if-you-blink-you'll-miss-it" type She works inside a chiropractor's office -the space has a very eastern medicine feel. Clean, comfortable, relaxing massage space. A hidden gem. I'll definitely be back! read more

Mandy's been my go to massage therapist for the past year. Great quality massage for the price. Will continue to support her for many years to come :) read more

Mandy is a professional, friendly, and attentive massage therapist. I had a few massage treatments with Mandy. As soon as the treatment began, she examined the issue on my back by learning the knots and tightness. She was very thorough with the examination and would put an emphasis on massaging the muscles that needed extra attention. Her treatment is a combination of Chinese tui na and reflexology, which is excellent and helps bolster immune system. read more

I messed up my neck and right shoulder from falling asleep weird on my sisters couch the other night. I woke up with a stiff neck and shoulder pain so I spent ALL day today looking for a place to get a last minute, quality massage. As I was about to give up, I found Mandy's Massage which is down the street from me. I noticed it was appointment only so I decided to give her a call to see if she had any openings. She didn't answer but ended up calling me back 30 minutes later & was able to fit me in as her last appointment! I got the 60 minute full-body Swedish massage for $50 and it was amazing! Hence the 5 stars! It was just what I needed: relaxing, pressure in the right spots, not rushed, she used hot stones, towels, beads and oils. I wasn't aware that she would be using all of those beforehand but I'm not complaining. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed and in less pain. Mandy is sweet and knows what she's doing. I'd recommend her to a friend and I'll definitely be coming back! P.S. finding great quality massages for this price in SF is rare! Please tip her generously :) read more

I have to say that I am missing Mandy's massages during this time of the pandemic! I just wanted to update my previous review to say that since that time, Mandy has been perfectly respectful during every massage session, and has her phone on mute, and doesn't pick up calls in the middle of our session. Thus, it's just a relaxing experience that my aching muscles really need. Can't wait until I can start going there again. read more

I selfishly waited to write this review until after I left San Francisco. I was in the city for 2.5 months and went to Mandy's regularly. I loved her so much. While this might not be a high end spa, her suite is cute and clean. Her prices are very affordable and she caters to the unique needs of her clients. One of the best massages I have ever gotten from an unassuming and very affordable place from the sweetest masseuse. She doesn't know this, but I refer to her as magic hands :) read more

This place was recommended by a friend, I've been going to different massage places, and of course, some of them are good, then they change, and some of them is you get what you pay for. Mandy's is a little different, her prices are fair to low, she put's her heart into what she does. Very nice and friendly. She will ask of the needs, where soreness, pain, or even what problem (s) you might have. The best thing is; she is very true and professional, she will tell you what will work and what doesn't work, especially a lot of people think that one time massage will do magic and heal whatever the problem is. She takes the time to explain and shares information. She never shorten the time also, matter of fact, there were only over time for all the times that I've been there. She showed me a lot of pressure points where can help anyone to relief pressure and or pain temporary. She does well for relaxation massages, but her specialty is foot massage, I'm not talking about these foot massages that just rub your feet and make you feel good, I'm talking about the real foot massage that can heal problems. And again, it takes time, and it might not feel good at the moment, but a few times later, one will feel the body change. I don't consider myself as just a customer, to me, I'm her patient. I would recommend Mandy for whatever a person's needs, if it's just a simple relax massage or try to have the body heal. She is a one man show, so it's by appointment only. Leave a message, and she calls you back if she doesn't answers. read more

I have to write a review for sweet Mandy! She is so kind and does a phenomenal job. I came in with a really tight neck and shoulders and she helped me relax and loosen up. Her little room IS difficult to find if you've never been, but it's a little entrance between the opthamologists office and the hair salon. The door says it's a Chiropractic Health office but she'll buzz you in and her room is right at the top of the stairs. It's small but it has everything you need! She takes great care and even gave me some bonus time to do gua sha on my neck to improve my circulation. She took her time explaining what it was to me and informing me that discoloration will happen (which is normal for gua sha). She even showed me pictures of other clients who had received gua sha so that I was comfortable with the results (which I was). I feel so much better now as a result of seeing Mandy! She's awesome! She doesn't take card but she does take cash and Venmo :) read more

My session with Mandy was great. I have been having some shoulder and back problems that had gotten worse after a recent move. I had a 90 minute session with Mandy and came out feeing great. She worked my problematic areas, explained some of the process and also gave me some simple stretches to use in between sessions. I'll be coming back for sure :-) read more

My gf randomly messaged me she found Mandy on Yelp and was getting a massage today. Well after she said how great it was, I rushed over and Mandy was nice enough to squeeze me in as the last one even though she had to stay a little passed her closing time. Mandy was very nice and hospitable, offered water and accommodated all the luggage I can with. Oops. She seemed well experienced and knowledgable, 8 years experience prior I think and now has her own place so she can make better house. She had good post massage recommendations as well and knew how to target knots etc. I have been working out a lot lately on a fitness challenge so I had more knots than I thought. She gave me such a nice deep tissue massage, and a discount for my first time. My body was so sore some of it was painful and we laughed but it was easy to ask her to adjust pressure, even I didn't know I was that sore so it was fine. HAPPY TO FIND A NICE WELL PRICED PLACE IN SUNSET AREA. And her English was good as well, we had nice conversation to start. read more

She was amazing. Me and my girlfriend went. Super kind and very attentive. The massage was deep and relaxing and we both got cupping too. Amazing overall experience and the most affordable in the city! read more

amazing swedish massage!! easy to book, extremely responsive in about 10pm after a quick message and available same day. very relaxing and sore muscles relieved, just what i was looking for on my day off! will be going back. read more

Mandy couldn't have been nicer. She does a thorough full body massage. I just felt sorry for her when she had to deal with my tight shoulder muscles --many a masseuse has dealt with them. It has been a while since my last massage but I can see setting up regular appointments. read more
