    Monica B.

    I'm updating my review two years later. I've been coming here very consistently for over two years now (and referring family members here) and today was sadly the last straw for me. It used to be great here but over the last six or so months the woman who runs it has become increasingly rude. She went from greeting me at the door and giving a water bottle and candy at the end every time to beginning to be rude or dismissive on the phone (which I didn't care because I always end up having Karina massage me and she is sweet and amazing) and now she's just come so far from how she used to be. The last four times I've come here I've had my time shortened midway through (ex. from 30 to 10 because they have walk ins who want longer massages). She is also extremely rude to Karina, barking orders at her with little to no respect. Today I called ahead like I always do and arrived 15 minutes later as discussed on the phone. The boss abrasively told me I was too late and they were too busy now (one walk in for a long massage was there) so it it would be ten minutes and then I'd need to go. I could have gone anywhere but I called and drove there and not only was it not honored (again) but it's shocking to me that she continues to make it clear they don't value me as a customer because I am consistent and I tip very very good. I'll miss you Karina but I have to find a place being run with a bit more respect and kindness!

    In my opinion best massage location in Bakersfield and I've been to quite a few, there's only one…read moreother that can compare however the massage therapist here are very friendly and ask what is bothering you and focus mostly on that to allow you the best experience. The gentleman at the front desk is running that place better than most people I've seen run a massage therapy business. He even takes text messages up into a certain part of the evening after the business is closed to try to fit you in and knows what his opens are within 5 to 10 minutes of you texting them. I would love to gate keep this place to myself but I know that they don't need my endorsement for the great things that happen here. Though I won't gate keep the location I will gate keep my therapist (for now) However if I know you personally message me and I'll tell you who she is.. Overall the only place I'll be going to in 2026 unless something changes.

    I really wanted to leave a fully positive review because I genuinely enjoyed my massage. The…read moreenvironment was incredibly calming, and my masseuse, Karen, was wonderful. Unfortunately, the experience at checkout completely changed how I felt leaving. When I booked over the phone, I specifically stated that I would be using a gift certificate. Nothing was disclosed at that time about an additional charge. After my massage, I was told I owed an extra $10 because of the age of my gift certificate. I questioned the charge, and ultimately I was not charged the additional $10, but only after I pushed back and questioned why I owed anything at all. The certificate was purchased in December 2024 and states "4x massages," not a dollar amount to be applied toward massages. Hands of Joy has also not increased its massage prices since the certificate was purchased. What concerned me even more was that after I questioned the charge, additional wording was handwritten onto my gift certificate that had not been there when it was originally purchased or given to me. I will be attaching a photo of the certificate for transparency. Terms added after a gift certificate has already been purchased are obviously not terms the purchaser could have agreed to at the time of purchase. I am away for school for months at a time, so naturally it can take me longer to use a multi-massage gift certificate. Being made to feel as though that was somehow an issue, especially over a gift that had already been paid for, took me from feeling completely relaxed to feeling frustrated and belittled. My biggest concern is for customers who may simply pay an unexpected charge without questioning it. California has specific protections surrounding purchased gift certificates, including restrictions on expiration dates and service fees. I would encourage anyone using an older gift certificate anywhere to understand its original terms and ask questions before paying an unexpected additional fee. Karen and the massage itself were wonderful, and I genuinely wish that had been the entirety of my experience. Unfortunately, the way the gift certificate was handled at checkout, and having wording added to it afterward, left a disappointing impression.
