I paid $93 for a 90 minute massage. I asked the lady if she did deep tissue massages since it…read morewasn't specified on the service menu. I'm not sure if she understood me or not because of the language barrier -- so if you have past injuries or specifications for your massage, I wouldn't recommend this place due to lack of communication and language. Luckily I didn't so I just told her I needed a deep tissue massage hoping she understood. To start, the table had a thin sheet I laid out to cover myself with. Usually places have another thicker sheet/blanket but oh well! I told myself it didn't matter. I'm pretty conservative mind you, so when she started whipping the sheet around and exposing me without consideration and bending my knees while exposing between my legs, I felt uncomfortable and couldn't relax the entire time. At one point, my entire back side was completely exposed and the sheet wasn't covering me. I was extremely uncomfortable with that. When I flipped over for her to do my front side, she accidentally exposed my breast. Again, I felt extremely uncomfortable even though she said "oops, sorry!" As for the massage itself, it felt unorganized and all over the place. Usually therapist will slow their way into it and work their way around. This lady was all over the places and wasn't smooth. I felt like her thumbs were poking me all over instead of doing a deep tissue. Some parts felt great, don't get me wrong, but she rubbed my triceps so hard with her thumbs I was bruised the next day. When I flipped over to have my front side done, she never worked on my traps, front shoulders, or chest. She spent all her time on my legs (which I couldn't care less about compared to my back, traps, and shoulders). Last thing, when I went to pay at the end of it, she was hovering over me to see if I was going to tip (I'm assuming). Normally people don't hover over you while you're tipping, it's awkward and kinda rude. Overall, I won't be going back. Maybe this is just a bad experience for me. Idk but most massage places are considerate while exposing only the necessary body part and being methodical with the massage.

Since this was my first time, I didn't know what to expect. When you fist walk in the place is very dim, making you want to be relaxed as soon as you walk in the door, it's nice and quiet and smells calming. It seems to be a popular place so making a reservation maybe best. I knew I was feeling a bit tence but I really didn't know how much until my massage started. I noticed I still felt tence even after my massage, lucky for me it didn't stop at the table. On to the foot and head massage... Oh man was that a treat, now I can relax. Best $20.00 hands down.

Wow! The best! My wife and I came in and felt so relaxed after our massages. My wife received a…read morebody massage and I decided to receive the relief package, that includes a body massage and cupping. Walking in, the place felt peaceful. We were able to receive our massages in the same room. I wish I would have got the name of the guy who gave me my massage and cupping because I felt so relaxed. I'll be back so I'll get his name next time. In the past I used to receive cupping more often, although after coming to Dream Foot Spa, I feel like my body knows what a true massage and cupping feels like. The service was friendly as well. I definitely want to come back to receive a foot massage.

Last time I was in here I checked in advance to see about foot massage…read more I went in and the lady put my feet in the water. Then she proceeded to talk on the phone for probably 10 or 12 minutes. A customer came in and she told me she should work on the "walk in", as he may leave if asked to wait. She went to other room to take care of walk in customer. Keep in mind I had called to check before hand. A very bad massage, and the worst customer service I have ever had at a massage place. Would not return certainly would not recommend. They would not get off the phone, gave a half assed massage. Massage lady was Anna, an older very skinny lady.

When I walked in I was happy to be there, but skeptical that I could get a good massage. Boy was I wrong. I'm not sure of the woman's name, but she was powerful. She found all of the knots and tight spots. She worked me over, and after an hour I was relaxed, peaceful, and rested. I love a good deep massage, and she really delivered. Go check this place out.

One massage here I asked for hard massage, the massage therapist was a little lady maybe 110 lbs, just over five feet tall. This lady was very strong, after about 15 minutes I opted for "medium". It was just right. In my experience, they have not shorted me on time. Nor have they nagged or begged for more tip. It is only $40 for an hour. A solid value, they also do the hot stones.

Although the girl was wearing surgical gloves which I thought was odd but whatever. My feet are well groomed and clean, otherwise it would have made me feel self-conscious. She actually did cover different pressure points in the heels, around the balls of the feet and toes. When it came to the massage itself, 90% of it was done under a double folded sheet even though my shorts remained on! The masseuse used her elbows and forearms for most of the massage with little variants of technique. My back was actually getting sore from her continually going over the same spot again and again doing the same thing. I was glad that I hadn't scheduled the 90 minute massage! There was a little bit of massage oil used on my shoulders, forehead and lower legs. That's it! It was so far from an actual massage. I didn't even bother to say anything. I just paid and left. I was not looking for any extra services, just an actual professional massage. It seemed as though the girl was afraid to touch anybody or have any type of skin contact. Kind of the wrong profession to be in if that's the case! I had just taken a shower before I arrived so I know it wasn't due to my hygiene!

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.
