We came here on a weekend day in the afternoon and were able to be seen right away without calling ahead. However, during our appointment, we heard people calling in to make appointments, so it's probably recommended. I think this place is a hit or miss. I had an amazing massage by Lucy, who seems like she just knows knots when she touches them and is able to work on you pretty well. My partner, however, had someone who he had to ask to put more pressure, and in response, the therapist said "you might need a male therapist if you need more pressure." This is unfortunate, but I think it really is the luck of the draw. We found the most off putting thing about this place is that they charge a 10% surcharge to pay with card. For example, an hourlong massage is $50 in cash, but $55 when paid on a credit card. I do not share the opinion of most of the low-rated reviews where they ask you for tips. Our therapists did not do so, and also, it is completely reasonable to tip more than normal since the massage prices are lower here, especially if you receive a great massage. However, the marked differences between the cash and credit card prices was a turnoff to us, especially since it is random whether you get a skilled therapist or not. read more

Mission Massage Therapy Center - Current price list as of March 2025 - Massage Near Me - Hayward, California

The lady asked to tip more. Not very business like! In addition, the service was very lacking, felt like the masseuse just lathered oil on me gave a wipe down. read more

This might be the best hidden gem in the area. $50 (Cash) for a full hour massage + tip. Massage is great and they use great pressure. I'm going to be a recurring customer as weekly massages are a must. read more

Great place and great price. Nice clean and quiet place. Tina and Lucy are great. One hour for $50

I just got a massage from this place. It was an ok massage, but what I don't like about the ladies here is that they demand for more tips, make you feel bad for tipping them 15%. What is your experience with this place? What do you think about them demanding for more tips? read more

We all know the old adage that you get what you pay for. That being said, I have had a few massages here and some were good and some were bleh. I usually do not give such a low/average rating but I believe a 3-star is an apt rating for this place. I would have given 4 stars for those times I did get a good massage but because it is such an unknown, I leave it at the 3-3.5 range. Now if you just need a massage and for a cheap price, then this will do. But if you want a top of the line massage therapist, then I suggest look elsewhere. They also have a way to ask for the tip. Now they didn't force me to, but they were vocal about it. Lastly, they are usually pretty open for walk-ins. But call ahead just to make sure. Also, on-site parking is a good convenience for them which also why I hold off on giving it a 2 star rating. read more

Mission Massage Therapy Center - Entrance - Massage Near Me - Hayward, California

See all

I'd give a zero stars to this place. Lucy is so greedy and she always tries to get more tip out of you. She made me feel bad for giving her a 20% tip. The owner should read these reviews and take an action against the ones who ask for more tip. I'm so annoyed by them. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. read more

After my massage by LUCY, i give her my tip and she counts the tip in front of me and says "that's it?". The 3 times I have gotten a massage from her I always give $20 tip when tipping is even optional. This time I only gave $11 which is still a lot because that's what I had. That is very rude for her to count it in front of me and not be grateful and ask for more. Rude and ungrateful people/workers. Never coming back. read more

I told them specifically that I wanted my feet to be massaged because I haven't been able to walk on them for weeks because of the pain. And they said they would be able to take care of that for me in their full body massage package. The lady was on her phone the entire time. And then switched out with another woman 30 minutes in who also spent more time in her phone than giving me the service that I asked for. It was one of the worst experiences that I've ever had and I definitely won't be coming back here. If I could I would give this place 0 stars. read more

My sister in law and I both got massages here today, and both thought the place was great! Cute little private rooms with a notification that they DO NOT offer erotic massages, so don't even ask (yay!). I had Amy who was great, perfect amount of pressure. My sister-in-law said a large amount of time was spent on her back/upper body and she wished more time was spent on her legs and feet. I wished that I had music playing in my room (it was on in the next room), and some time was spent on my head and neck when I was on my back, otherwise we both said we would be back! read more

Same bad experience as Arvin R. My wife had Amy and she left several times, not really caring about her - more interested in the next male client (she did the reception as well). On the other hand, I had Lily - very flirtatious, and sits on your lower back. Afterward, she wanted to empty my wallet. I gave $10 tip and said I would pay more next time. BTW has anyone here not tipped them? if so, what was their reaction? read more

I can't give it more than 3 stars. I just walked in and I got my massage, 60 minutes for $40, which was not too bad at all. Anyway, I was massaged by Amy. The massage was very smooth which didn't help my sore muscles. I did feel better after I finished, but also one day later I felt my sore muscles really need another massage. What I didn't like: 1) there's $2 fee if you pay by a card. 2) I tipped $10 and she asked me for more. This is not professional. You're kicking your customers away. I felt uncomfortable. 3) I had to use my card twice. The second time was to tip, which the therapist didn't like. Will I come back again? I don't know. Maybe! Do I recommend it to anyone? I recommend you may find better massage therapy around, cheaper and better. read more

I came to this massage center for the first time in Nov 2012 and I was VERY PLEASED with the massage treatment. This facility is brand new, very clean and very relaxing. The room is well decorated to make it feels cozy which accompanied with a nice relaxing music in the back ground. David is a certified masseur therapist and his work is EXCELLENT. David paid attention and focused to my problem shoulder and arm. He also taught me to do exercise at home to minimize the pain of my problem shoulder. The other masseuse therapists are also very nice and friendly. I would strongly recommend Mission Massage Therapy Center and ask for David. The price is affordable. read more

I suppose it's all about expectations. I walked in on a lark having some time to burn and was pleasantly surprised. I felt as though I received value for what I paid. Amy took great care of me and periodically asked if everything was ok or if there were areas she should focus on. She did leave the room 2x - but that was to get hot towels which were part of the therapy. read more

This is my first time to give one star in Yelp...before i got a body massage i already paid $42 and add $10 for the Tip in the counter, After the massage i thought im already finish with everything but she again ask me for more Tip! Asking me for more ,i gave extra $5 just to finish it and go home its a total of $15 for the Tip and still she's asking for more..with a Value...this is my first time here and already demanding a BIG TIP.. read more

My experience with Lucy and all the staff there are so unprofessional!! Specially when it come with tipping! They basically ask you for a Amount!! That is so unprofessional never coming back her again, i don't recommend this place what so ever!! Plus her massage was a joke I could easily go to the Oakland flea market and get a better massage with execelente professionalism that this people!! read more

Ya same as other reviewers.. These girls like to jack you for your money and play it off dumb like they are speaking chinese. What a hustler place. The other reviewers are correct about the sliding on the back thing. It's like they think that rubbing oil and sliding all over you is doing anything. All it does is rub oil all over the darn place. Seems like a clean place, but not very professional on the massage aspect. I would suggest paying a little more and getting a better massage elsewhere. Also 10% tip should be the standard for massage places. 20% is just ridiculous. They already charge almost a dollar a minute! Does anyone make that kind of money!!! Really silly! Steer clear unless you wanna stiff the masseusse than it might be worth your while. read more

This place is a joke. The reviewers on here works for the center. I went in for a massage today and the lady kept walking out of the room, her name was Amy. I suggest going to a different place, so you can get your massage in a really peaceful way and not get caught up with the bullshit of your massage person walking out on you three times! This is a joke! read more

My back gets super tight and knotted. So went for a 90 min deep tissue massage $60. The first part of the massage was good-but interesting. My back was really tight so she got on the table sat on my back and used her butt to get some of the kinks out. It really worked. Unfortunately, the second part was oil slathered on and the "massage" was honestly smoothing the oil all over. There was no massage whatsoever. But laughably she kept signing like she was exerting energy. It was kinda comical until I gave her a justifiable 20% or $12 dollar tip and she asked for $20. Biatch really! I was nice and responded "You should never do that" Won't be back-period read more

The "owner" of this place is a liar and extremely rude. He got on the phone with me and was very condescending. He tried to chastise me as a client for using a groupon that CLEARLY STATES, "the amount paid ($39) will never expire." Seems like it wouldn't have been a good massage anyway. Would not be surprised if this place closes soon based on the reviews and that kind of "owner"/service. I felt bad for the worker that was scared of him. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The best massage place in Hayward or in Bay area. Been through a lot massage center and this is the best so far.

I called this morning for an appt and was told to come right in. I was met by Lucy and I must say she gave me the best massage I will be returning in 2 wks and I'm sending my husband in tomorrow morning for a massage as well you also can beat the price. Thanks again Lucy read more

Update: 1 star because the other ladies here are still good, don't try to rip me off and give a good massage.

Nice and clean environment. They did pretty good job especially if you like deep tissue massage. The one hour full body oil massage is only $40, and I gave the guy $20 tips for doing such a great job. They are pretty busy too so no hurt to make an appointment first. read more

Great massage place! I have a bad back and need massage regularly. Lucy does a great job, I don't know why negative comments about her, I was always treated professionally and she loosens up my tight low back like a pro! read more

I live in the area and get a massage here about once every two months with my wife. After being sore in the gym they always do a great job. Amy is usually my therapist and she does pretty good. Lucy is good as well. Just don't let them walk on your back, I am not really into that. A good deal for 39 dollars an hour. read more

Save your money. Massage are more like sliding hands and rubbing butts on body. They demand tips of $20 or more for a massage. Tipping 50% should be a crime especially for a crappy massage. The only good thing is this place looks clean but no real massage. read more

Worst place I ever went to get massage. 70% of time, that girl was just sliding her rather than giving good hard massage. I was getting pissed off the way I received the massage. I only wanted to give her $10 tip the way she give me massage. So I gave $20 and ask her to get $10 back. Thats like 50% of tip. She simply refused to give me $10 back. She just stole $10 from me. It was not big deal, but you cant just refuse give customer there money back. I should have called cops on this place. Never going back to this place. Dont ever go this place. All the great reviews are written by their people. I could also hear person in next room saying "oooohh yeaaaaa' I was like WTF. read more

Wow we left this place feeling like we were walking on clouds!! Why I'm giving this place 5 stars, first We came in without an appointment and we were seen immediately which we were very pleased about. Secondly, I explained to the ladies that my husband has a very bad back which constantly hurts and we informed them we needed light to medium pressure and his neck and shoulder worked on. They followed directions very well and even checked in with my husband on pressure throughout the massage. Third, this place is clean and very reasonably priced for a massage, they give a fantastic massage for the price! My husband and I were pleasantly pleased he got all his knots removed and they knew all the pressure points to soothe his aching body, usually my husband is hurting from his massages at other places but not this time. He was very pleased and we will definitely come back. Also if you're complaining for a measly 2 dollars for credit card fee then obviously you don't get out a bit, because most massage parlors I go to have a credit card fee. read more

I was on a mission - get a butt booty naked massage. That's just what I got. This isn't a high end massage place so let's start with that. The place is nestled in a lot next to a Christian church and music studio. To my surprise the ambiance changes when you walk in. The decor was welcoming at first glance then we were greeted by a few Asian women who welcomed us but not your typical "Welcome! Come relax" greeting. It was like they didn't know what to say to us. Another women came out of a room who seemed like she was the HBIC (in a respectful way) who told us she had 5 more minutes with a client and she would help us soon. No problem. We were then invited to come back and escorted to separate rooms but before that, I was asked how I was gonna pay. I said "cash" and she asked me to pay upfront. I don't know if it was because of my lack of purse and limited clothing items (shorts, flip flops and tank top) and my husbands tattooed up sleeves and she didn't trust that we were going to pay or if it was just the chinese culture to collecting the dough? I don't know. That was a first for me. I guess they don't do side by side couple massages. No big deal. I changed in this 7x11 sizeroom and waited. While I waited I couldn't help but observe my surroundings. A plastic bin was tucked under the massage table to store your belongings. A full sized body mirror (target or Walmart brand) hung on the wall, a blue plaid flannel robe hung neatly on the door hook, rubber men slippers were tucked under the chair, lastly a small wall clock (probably purchased at target or Walmart) hung above in front facing the table. 2 signs were plastered to the wall. One sign for acupressure points and another disclaimer that basically stated "Don't ask for a happy ending or you will be reported to the police." Kind of hilarious but fucked up at the same time. Got the feeling they may have been stereotyped and approached with such a proposal. So I watched the clock while my mind processed my senses. The thin white sheet that draped over my naked body, my knees supported by the padding covered by a white cloth towel, the instrumental music that sounded like a mix between Kenny G and Les Miserables seeped through the walls. It wasn't long before I noticed how thin the walls were. I could hear the deep Barry Manilow voice (a man client) speaking to his masseuse. My mind began to focus on the clock. 10 minutes passed by as I stared patiently for someone to come in. Finally, my masseuse came in. Her name was Lucy. We conversed for a good 5 minutes while she started. I didn't mind it. She was nice. The massage was actually not bad at all! I've definitely had worse. I've also had better. She exposed me more than I had ever been in a massage before but what the hell?? I wanted a BUTT BOOTY NAKED massage! Again, that's just what I got!! I wasn't COMPLETELY exposed but like I said, I was more than I ever was. I started to hear the other Asian women outside speaking like I was at a nail shop and the sound of silverware clanking around. I thought, "I hope I don't start hearing a microwave because that would just kill this moment for me." But thankfully I didn't. I did hear the timer go off twice. I would describe Lucy's massage style as a mix between a deep tissue, Asian reflexology and part Swedish with the strokes. I didn't mind that it wasn't a conventional type of massage. I liked it. An hour of that for a full body massage only $40? Why not? I have a lot of neck and shoulder/back pain and I thought I wanted to only focus on those spots but I'm glad I didn't ask. I didn't realize how soar I was all over. Surprisingly my favorite most relaxing part is when she actually massaged my face. I feel like she worked out any wrinkles that formed from work today. Ahhh... At one point while I laid face down, I couldn't tell if she was using her hands as a percussion or beating me with paddles!! I got my ass beat good. No pun intended. At the end of it, she wiped my body down with a hot cloth towel similar to when you get a "deluxe" pedicure. I was offered a cold glass of water and addressed by Lucy as "ok sister" to indicate my session was over. That was kinda cute. She complimented on how soft my skin was and how nice it was to massage me. Lol. I guess she noticed my silky shaven legs. Lmao! I don't know. I looked up at the clock above and 1 hour on the dot! My husband was already finished and was waiting for me in the lobby. He is always so kind to people who provides him service but I was curious to hear his POV when we left. Let's just say he didn't read the yelp reviews before coming with me and he didn't know what to expect. In his words "I didn't expect that! I slightly felt violated but it was coo." Lmao! Let's just say... It's not as great as a place u would spend $150/hr but it was definitely better than a chair massage or one where you are fully clothed. To conclude... Both my husband and I left feeling better than we entered. Mission accomplished read more

I have pretty measured expectations when it comes to no-frills Asian massage establishments. Things like noise, harsh lighting, language barriers, etc rarely bother me. What does bother me, however, is basic lack of massage skills. That was the case here. My massage therapist appeared to be more or less completely untrained and sort of making it up as she went. Given the range of options available in this area at the same price point ($40 for a 1 hour massage) you're better off going elsewhere. read more

went to this massage therapy center for my birthday over all i guess it was OK. Amy did my massage and it was a 30 min massage for $40 which isn't bad at all. during the massage she constantly asked if i was OK which is a nice to know she cares about the massage she is giving and her client, but she probably 15 times during the massage complimented my body and the first couple times are flattering but after so many times lol it was like ooookkkk. and the one other thing was when when the massage was over she didn't even give me a chance to tip her because we paid for the massage before i received it but seconds after i was walking out of the room she asked for her tip which in my mind seems kinda of rude considering it isn't monitory its a gesture of satisfaction read more
