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.

I was greeted by her at the front, she allowed me to pick the music (I really am not that picky) but I needed to hear a certain sound, music can either help me release or tense up. She did a somatic release and pressure points exactly where there was tension. I was in pain and she helped me, definitely need to schedule another session.

We both agreed that after the ladies truly went deep in order to release muscle tension the hot stones were the cherry on top.

The limited language does cause a bit of confusion over the phone, but that's understandable. We have our temperatures checked, are asked to use hand sanitize, and to wear masks during the session. This does make it a bit awkward and difficult to breathe, but again, understandable. The rooms are very minimal and the towels/sheets are low quality, but we are only there for an hour. The ladies have been friendly and accommodating to our specific massage needs. They currently charge $60 per hour and we give $20 tip for each of the ladies so $160 out the door for a bare bones experience, but no complaints from us.
