I'm visiting from Sedona and wandered into Chinatown, where I fell in love with the neighborhood and happened upon Rose Health Spa. It looked like a tiny massage place from the outside, but when I knocked I was pleasantly surprised -- the interior is beautiful, serene, and immaculately clean. I immediately booked a 90-minute massage. The price was incredible: their cash rate shows $80 for one hour, but I booked a 90-minute session and paid only $120 (plus tip) -- an absolute steal that felt like a $150 experience. The massage itself was outstanding: skilled, attentive, and perfectly tailored to my needs. Each treatment room is individualized and thoughtfully arranged, and the whole operation felt extremely professional. If you get the chance, book ahead -- Rose Health Spa is a hidden gem in Chinatown and a must-visit for anyone looking for top-quality care at an amazing value. Highly recommend! read more

Rose Health Spa - Lobby modern clean! - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I was looking for massages in Chinatown on Google and didn't find many standouts before checking yelp! I'm so glad I did as I feel yelp scores tend to be more reliable. Rose health spa is basic, but efficient and well priced. I was able to make a same day appointment by calling. They asked me to pay with cash which I typically do for this type of service anyway. I had a 60 min deep tissue massage with Julie and it was very good. The room was minimalistic but player relaxing music. Julie used decent pressure and spent a good amount of time on my neck and back where I was experiencing the most pain. Prices for massages in boston have become completely unaffordable. I can't wait to come back to rose health spa due to the value. Thank you! read more

Oh my god. One of the best massages I've ever had. Focused on what I asked for. Super nice. Def check them out.

I just got back to Boston via red eye flight, and I was looking for somewhere with same day massage appointments. Setting up an appointment was very easy! I called Rose Health around noon to ask for their availability for the rest of day, they asked around what time i'd want to go in (2:30/3) and how long I'd want to massage for (an hour). They told me they had availability for 3pm. They asked for how many people, so I said two, and they confirmed 3pm would still work (had my boyfriend tag along for a nice Saturday reset). On the phone, they told me it would $80 cash per person (their card reader is not working right now). We ran a few minutes late (curse the T!) and they gave me a call at 3:02pm to just verify that we'd come. After ringing the doorbell, they let us in and got us checked in. The place itself is very quiet, and you can't hear any street noise from inside at all. Super peaceful. My massage therapist was Julie, and she was fantastic! Applied the perfect amount of gentle pushing pressure where I know a bunch of my knots have disappeared, but not so hard that I'll wake up sore tomorrow. And if you are looking for pressure, my boyfriend's massage therapist (I didn't catch his name but he seemed to work the front desk) did put on the heavy pressure where it hurts in the good way. They used massage oils, which they also used hot towels to wipe off at the end of treatment. More places need to do that! It was a very methodical massage, working through the upper body from the left side first, then the right side, then the neck. After the upper body, they had a little bit of hot stone rolling (which was an awesome unexpected surprise). They also made sure to ask periodically if the pressure and heat was okay. After the upper body, they did a little reflexology with my arms and hands, and who knew my forearms would be so tight?? Then they put a warm towel over my upper body and moved onto my hips and legs, and a little bit of stretching with my calves/toes. After all that, I flipped to my back and got a little bit of a sinus/nose and neck area massage. All that in an hour! I would highly recommend. We each paid $100 in cash ($80+$20 tip). They speak both English and Mandarin, so don't be afraid to check this place out! Can't wait for my next massage already (: read more

I was weary of the rave reviews but had to check it out for myself. I hurt my neck/shoulder at work a month ago and have still been having pain. I opted for the 60 minute deep tissue massage ($70) and it was the most relaxing, yet painful at times, 60 minutes of my life. She somehow found all my knots in areas I didn't even know they existed. And did a great job addressing them while also addressing the rest of my body. This was an actual full body massage, face down and face up, with the full head, neck, arms, legs, and feet being massaged. Hot stones were used for my back and the hot towel to clean off the oil felt so nice. The staff was very kind, timely and professional. Overall, highly recommend and would absolutely consider taking a trip into Chinatown just for this. read more

Same day availability. Good rate and a quality massage. You really can't ask for much else!

Called same day for a massage. They had availability which I was very happy about. The place was very clean. I was greeted by a male massage therapist who asked if I was comfortable being treated by a man which was considerate. I said I was and so he provided the massage. It was very good. I like deep tissue and his technique was excellent. I would highly recommend Rose Health Spa. read more

Julie is amazing and is one of the best that i ever encountered. the place is clean and professional.

It was very good! Everyone was very nice and it was clean. I had a couple of special requests and they had no problems!

Everything I wanted in a full body massage for a great price. Julie was amazing. It was so clean. It's my new favorite place. read more

Rose Health Spa - As of August 2024 - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I strained my neck and back so bad from working I couldn't sleep the night before. After seeing Julie, I can move my neck again. I was also able to get in same day, and she even called me when a spot opened up earlier. Super nice people there and it was very clean. She will give you as much pressure as you want, just ask. read more

Very good (solid) massage, for a very decent price. Clean spa, on-time, and professional. I was distracted a bit with the back-door continuously opening to let employees and deliveries in; but the actual full body massage and the hot stones felt great. read more

Judy is fantastic from head to toe Very reasonable and hits the sore joints and muscles read more

First time visit this Spa, stuff are speaking Chinese, the environment feel very clean and comfortable. The light and music was perfect I do the combo which 30 mins foot and 3 mins body cost $70 before tip. I would recommend it! read more

This was a SPECTACULAR massage! Angela and Julie are very thorough with wonderful customer service!

Came here for a couple massage for 90 minutes (60 min deep tissue + 30 min for reflexology). Prices have increased a little since the photo of the menu (I think it was $105/pp since we paid cash). We're already considering doing this monthly; this is a great no-frills but extremely clean and polite location. Honestly I wouldn't change a thing - I was able to turn my neck for the first time in months, and I feel completely restored. They made sure we were comfortable, asked us if it was too much pressure, and even used hot stones for a couple minutes. I also have to say that I either need to shower immediately after massages or basically get the oil all over my clothes. This location gives you a warm towel massage once their done so you're nice and clean and fresh. Might be common other places but that was a super nice touch I've never seen. read more

This is a 5-star review with the proviso that we are clear about what the place is and is not. This IS a fantastic place to get a healing massage. When your body doesn't feel good and you need someone to help it feel better, there aren't many places that can offer more. The therapist I had was extremely well versed in anatomy and did an exceptional job of identifying root problems and getting me back into one piece. She didn't just look at the obvious knots - she dug deep into the other parts of my body that were contributing to the problem, and I'm feeling incredible relief from head to toe. This place is NOT a place to go to be pampered. There are no amenities, and though the shop is clean and comfortable, it isn't luxurious in anyway. You aren't going to get a dreamy and gentle swedish massage that feels like being rubbed down on silky clouds. This is also NOT a spa that has a dozen or more employees, so occasionally, you'll be put on pause for a quickly answered and deflected phone call. All in all I am very satisfied with the place and would gladly come back again soon. For the cost of the services provided, and for the fact that I need this kind of massage a couple times a month to help with ongoing physiology problems - it's a perfect find. I wish it was located nearer my home in Los Angeles! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for a couples massage at around 7:30 pm. This place is very clean and everything we expected in regards to getting a 1 hour deep tissue massage for muscle pain. It is very no- nonsense, but expect high quality and a clean environment. It was just what we needed. I highly recommend coming here!!! read more

Great massage, very professional. My back pain was relieved. There was some outside noise from staff talking loudly on the phone that I found distracting. read more

I've been to 5 star spas around the world and honestly the massage I had today at Rose Health spa was one of the best massages I've had in quite a long time. Highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing my gal Julie at another location in Chinatown for at least a year and when she came to Rose Health Spa, I gladly followed her!! This place is brand new. It just opened Feb 1! So it's really clean and has a nice ambiance. The ladies are friendly and it's very comfortable there! Prices are affordable and you can call day of or do a walk in visit. The biggest reason to come here is Julie- just try her once and you will understand! She gives the best pressure and knows all the right spots. You can also tell her what area you want her to focus on and she will get at that too. I have honestly gotten massages all over the world and Julie is the best! I will follow her anywhere. read more

Best massage in Boston heads down. I get massages at least once a month and have tried almost all popular massage spots in Boston. Rose Health Spa always provide consistent quality of service and know their customer's body. Really hard to find... highly recommend it! read more

The main masseuse fixed my wife's neck problem. She was awesome and the rest of the staff was very attentive and very skilled!

Hands down the BEST massage I have ever had. I went after days of being in pain from tight shoulders and upper back, neck pain, headaches, not being able to sleep. Read the reviews and so glad I listened and went! I saw Ann for a deep tissue. As someone with chronic pain, it is difficult to find a masseuse can address my complicated back problems. Perfect amount of pressure and specialized attention to all the right areas. I walked out of there dead (in the best way) and could easily have stayed for another hour. I will most definitely go back, probably within the week. Plan on this being my regular go to. ABSOLUTELY go, you will not be disappointed! read more

Went during covid and site unseen - was nervous but back hurt: completely clean and legit. Looks like a sketchy area (or just not where one would go for a nice massage) but truly professional, Clean and an A plus massage!! Thank you for being so clean and professional and will return. read more

Fair priced and clean. I mainly come for Julie who is amazing! Definitely recommend seeing her, she's helped my chronic back pain.

Randomly walked by here once 2 Months ago and now having been weekly going ever since. The message is excellent ! Really thorough full body and they're really flexible with changing appointment times and etc ! Definitely recommend this place for a massage ! read more

Really really good massage! It's $70 in cash for a 60 minute full body massage. Slightly cheaper if you pay in cash vs. card. The facilities were extremely clean, I even dropped my earring on the floor and was using my phone flashlight to examine the floor looking for it so I did a thorough look at cleanliness (not on purpose haha). Both Alice and Julie were amazing, I did a couples massage. Call for an appointment, they seem to have decent availability. I'm definitely going to become a regular. read more

Best massage of my life. Julie gave a strong and thoughtful massage. No muscle was untouched! I get massages weekly in my hometown of NYC. Believe me, she is amazing! read more

Professional, clean and extremely pleasant experience. We have been going here for about a year and couldn't recommend rose health spa enough. Hands down the best massage I've ever had, no frills and at an affordable price. Best kept secret in Boston! read more

Had a couples massage and it was very well done. Clean and felt comfortable. We would go back.

I will admit I was a bit hesitant when I booked this massage, but I needed a massage ASAP and they were able to see me within two hours. As your kindergarten teacher taught you - "Don't judge a book by its cover!" This no frills massage parlor offers a clean environment for a strong massage. Don't expect a salon atmosphere - because this is not a place to be pampered. Rather, come here if you have legit pain to work through. My masseuse was thorough, found my triggers and applied the necessary techniques and pressures to have me feeling better immediately. As it is no frills there is no receptionist, which really shouldn't matter except for when my masseuse left to answer the phone.. Seemed odd. Am I am not sure she washed her hands after touching the phone! I am a fan - and was even more excited to see they have a punch card to get a free massage after multiple visits! read more

I would give 0 if I could. Julie is always amazing but since she's busy I got another woman to do massage. It's actually worse than by doing it. Horrible experience... read more

I've been here 3 times after my exams - One for a couple massage and two for a 60-min. The owner is very nice and accommodating with my walk-in. Their techniques are really soothing and relaxing. I can't tolerate too much pain so I opted for "moderate strength". I have chronic back pain from a sport injury so they specifically worked on my back to loosen the paraspinal muscles. As a grad student, definitely have frozen shoulders/sore neck too frequent. I'm really glad I found this gem!!! read more

BEST PLACE TO GO! Usually, the massages I get are not up to par; there's no strength and it feels like awkward touching. This place will really go in on those knots, and for a decent price! After my massage, I felt like I was flying. Definitely coming back! read more

Julie did not disappoint! Was able to get in within 30 minutes of when I called and was very happy with my 60 minute deep tissue massage. Will definitely be back again! Don't forget to ask for the punch card, when you get 6 massages the 7th is free (of equal or lesser value to the least expensive massage you received). read more

Came here based on all of the positive Yelp reviews, and I wasn't disappointed! Booked an appointment for a 60-min massage with Julie over the phone. Easy, and they also called me the day of to check-in and remind me about my appointmen t. It was very clean and peaceful. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all despite trying a new place, and Julie was so warm and welcoming. She is SOOO strong. She really worked my muscles, and listened to me when I told her about my problem areas. It was a solid one hour massage too, and I really felt that she took her time and didn't try to rush through it. There were also warm towels and hot stones involved in my deep tissues massage. I used to go to day spas downtown where they charge exorbitant prices for mediocre massages - this place blows them all out of the water. Remember to bring cash! It's easier for everyone involved, and they have a punch card too, just ask! 6 massages, get one free. Can't wait to go back! read more

One of the massages I've ever received! Julie is excellent and very professional! This is a very quiet, pleasant and clean place. I've been on several occasions, definitely recommend read more

Very clean and inviting. No frills but 100% better than any other massage out there. They fit me in easily, and were very accommodating. I didn't need to say anything about my tense/pain areas. She knew exactly what to do and I left feeling fresh and relaxed. Highly recommended. read more

All in all a clean place. No appointment necessary which is great because who wants to wait when our back is yelling at us. I go to Julie, per other yelpers' tips. She was extremely friendly and greeted me as a regular who hasn't come for a long time. When I told her it was my first time asking for her, she was very surprised that I was asked for her because of yelp comments. She did not disappoint from the first stroke till the last - strong, precise and knows when to withhold pressure based on non-verbal cues. She checked from time to time if I felt ok in places where she applied quite a bit of pressure. She gave me extra time as a friendly welcome. It was all in all incredible. My neck and back felt SO much better. I felt like my body was able to relax and got 'taller' as the muscles became less tight. Will definitely go back for her. read more
