If I could give this place 10 stars- I would! As a certified massage therapist myself, I know that American massage education will never be even 1% close to a traditional Asian massage. Although these incredible people may not know enough English to communicate, their hands are able to identify an issue and work on it from a true holistic and healing perspective. This place reflects hundreds of years of knowledge about human body, this is something you will hardly find at a regular massage place. And that's very unfortunate. Therefore, visit this place, tip generously and enjoy their amazing massages. read more

They are really good. I have 25 years experience as a massage therapist. I am now federally disabled and only give 4 sessions a month. I do come to spring massage a couple of times a month because touch matters. There are a wide variety of techniques it does tend to be sensual and the women are quite skilled. Be sure to tip well read more

Spring Massage & Spa - Massage Near Me - Grass Valley, California

It costs less because they are not licensed and probably not paid well. I'm a massage therapist, and I was hurting, and desperately needed a massage now, so I went here. The facility is dark and not inviting, the female "massage therapists" were wearing heels and gemstone shirts, not usual attire for a massage therapist. The language barrier creates an environment lacking appropriate communication to get your needs met, if you are actually looking for specific, serious body work. You are just guided to a dingy room without meeting your massage therapist and when a man walked in I said no, female please, it took a while but when they figured it out a female came in and began, again, not asking for specific needs or if I had any injuries or areas to avoid. The massage was rough and she used elbows on the back of my neck, I love deep tissue but this hurt and took weeks after to stop hurting. I lived in Asia and studied massage there, I understand that it is done differently but this was not safe. After I asked to see the CAMTC (license) of the "massage therapist", as I did not believe the woman that worked on me had actual training, I was met with a lot of confusion and no one spoke English. Legally in Grass Valley all massage therapists must have their original license and photo displayed (not photo copies). It appeared that none of the 5 staff doing massage there had a license. Honestly the whole experience felt yucky, like I was supporting something inappropriate by spending my money here. read more

They were very attentive, but it hit all major points. It was a nice and clean place overall stuff friendly and Massage was actually pretty good me recommending to go absolutely read more

They should be charging more. The massage is actual deep tissue Asian massage. Loved it. Will definitely be back when in the area. Language barrier. But it's a massage, not a talking session. So perfect. read more

Really great, professional massage! Perfect firmness and the heated rice bag under the neck was a wonderful touch. As a female, I felt 100% comfortable with with my male masseuse. read more

Overall a decent 60 min foot plus other (head, legs, etc) massage, but could have had more pressure and presence. My pet peeves during foot reflexology massage are; when someone falls asleep while giving it (I'm the one who should sleep if anyone!), the masseuse talking to someone while give me giving me a massage, and lastly being semi forced to overtip because when you ask for change for a $20 they only offer back a $10. read more

Great massage and great price. I got the 60 min foot massage from the male masseuse. Very relaxing! There may be language barrier but you can point to the menu or use Google translate, I believe they speak Mandarin Chinese. read more

If you're a woman don't let the guy massage you. I went in as a man and mine was fine. My girlfriend went in a few days later and said it was "off". She's experienced plenty of professional massages. In this one, she was over exposed and hands roamed too far. I'll leave it at that. Otherwise it is a nice place with above decent service. Too bad the perv vibe came out on her treatment. read more

My daughter and I purchased the 70 Min body massage. Our services were done at the same time in a very private quiet room. The services were excellent. I did put in a request to have a female therapist, and there was no questions asked. The setting of the room was very quiet and the therapist did not engage in conversation while we enjoyed our massage. Attention to the feet was very minimal for both of us. However, the rest of our bodies were well massaged. Very pleased overall. read more

I love spring massage. Sometimes the massage can be inconsistent from one person to the next but I've found that communicating with them works. It's a great massage for the price. Men usually massage women and women massage men and if you don't want that you can ask for your preference. read more

Excellent service I was in a lot of pain and had a deep tissue massage. The gentleman was a surprise to me- but was professional & I left feeling much better. read more

I made an appointment for two, requesting to be worked on by women for a 90 minute combo massage. When I got there, there was some language barrier but it was fine and sorted quickly. My girlfriend and I were put in the first room, given no instructions. I asked if they wanted our clothes off but she said no. So they worked on our heads, feet, then arms. Afterwards they had us remove our tops and lay on our stomach. The room has a large curtain and no door and is right by the entrance. I personally didn't care if people could see in because I was lying face down. While facing up, I was fully clothed. So if you're shy and don't want people to see your skin, maybe you can request a different room. Now let's talk about the massage itself....AMAZING. 90 minutes for $70 like WHAT???? They were thorough and used hot stones which were very relaxing. They even wipe off the oils they apply using a hot towel. I made sure to tip 50% because the massage itself was THAT GOOD. If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely return! read more

I received four hand for my birthday and they asked me if I would like strong massage or mild. I asked for a strong one and the next day I had bruises and I couldn't hug to anyone. But I liked it a lot! It's a very different technique and very active massage. In the end I wanted to give tips but they find it little so we gave more tips, it was kinda weird. But they for sure deserved it. If you are looking for something real and not this hippie fluffy rainbow massage this is your place read more

A great value and a high quality massage! I received the combo back/foot massage and it was well worth the money. The only complaint I had was that the process was a bit confusing: they had me lie down on a massage table fully clothed while they did the foot massage, then at the mid point they had me sit up and take off my clothes for the back massage, but weren't super clear about which items to take off, and they had different instructions for others I was there with, so it was a bit complicated. But once I got settled I was very happy with the back massage as well - in the future I'll probably skip the foot part and do a back/shoulder massage for the whole time. Overall a great way to unwind and get those knots out in Grass Valley! read more

See all

We've been here a number of times and we love it. We haven't had a bad massage yet. Very professional and clean. We usually do the 90 minute massage. Prices are very reasonable compared to the hotel and boutique places. read more

My experience with Steven was fantastic. I'm from San Francisco and am in town visiting. It's been a stressful period. To find massage of this quality in a small town was amazing. Steven worked all of my problem areas. He used hot stones and warm towels. He removed lotion after working different muscles. He asked a few times about pressure and preferences but was otherwise just completely attentive to his craft. He is an excellent practioner. Highly recommend. read more

My First time getting massage! It was a long month for me. Intense heat,work pressure and some unsolved mystery of my life made me feel like lost and tired of everything. Wanted to feel alive again. With my friends' recommendation for massage, I went there. I got a combo massage(Foot+Body) for $40. The entire process of massage helped me in-process everything that I was going through. And by the time massage was done, I felt so light and got myself a new perspectives about life matters. ***Everything is normal if your mind is able to process all the information that you are getting from your daily life*** For me, massage helped me get back on track. Thank you, Spring Massage&Spa for your wonderful efforts! read more

Website says walk-ins are welcome. When I walked in, a woman shouted at me, "Phone?!" I understood this to mean "did I phone in for an appointment" to which I said "No." She got on the phone with someone, had me speak with the person on the phone, who told me I had to call for an appointment. I was given a business card with the phone number and escorted out the door. This walk-in did not feel very welcomed. I won't be going back. If appointments are required, they need to change that on their website. read more

went in for a massage and they were absolutey rude.

This was seriously one of the best massages I have ever had. Steven was so communicative and skillful. He applied just the right pressure and was super attuned to what I needed. I can't recommend this more. The place is quiet and clean. Please leave an excellent tip because these folks deserve it and it's the majority of what they work for.thank you Steven! My kinks and Body tension is gone! read more

What a freaking disaster! The phone number apparently goes to the owners house because she's the only one that speaks English. Nobody in the actual spa speaks English. So, I make an appointment for a 30 minute chair massage. The gal takes my name, so far so good. I get there on time and they have no freaking idea why I'm there! I explain that I have a 30 minute chair appointment and give them my name, even spelling it out. Chaos ensues. A full 10 minutes after my appointment was to have started I got fed up and started to leave. At that point one of the women literally grabbed my arm and led me to a table room. After I wrenched my arm out of her grasp I grabber HER and led her out to the lobby and showed her the sign saying "30 minute chair massage - $30" She said, "yes yes" and hauled me right back into a table room. Well, I left in a pretty serious huff. A little while after I got home I got a phone call from the woman I originally made the reservation with. She asked, "Was there a problem?" I made my complaint to her and told her that I would NEVER go back to her establishment (I've actually been there several times and never quite been satisfied with the service). Do NOT patronize this place! read more

Fabulous massage!! Can't remember the name of the person, but they did an amazing job! A step up from "Happy Day Spa," in the Folsom/Sac area. This place was a little cleaner and felt more 'relaxing.' Spent a lovely week-end in Grass Valley/Nevada City at a B& B. Spur of the moment decision for a massage. Couldn't have been happier. Ahhhhhh! read more

They did a really wonderful job and I felt very relaxed by time I left. I wasn't sure of their procedures, but they were friendly and it went fine. read more

My husband and I have received A LOT of body work in our lives. The best compliment we could give these ladies was to go back the next day for a second massage! Anna and Angela are incredible body workers! I will definitely hope they are still there when we return to Grass Valley! read more

Just had the early bird special-90 minute full body and it was amazing!!! The ambiance was great and my masseuse did a great job. All my muscle pains are gone and I am definitely coming here at least once a week. Also, the price is really amazing for the massage I just got. :) read more

Enjoyed a 60 minute foot massage during a weekend visit to Grass Valley. This is actually a foot/head/body massage. Your feet soak in a very hot bath while scalp, neck, shoulders get massaged. Ray was very good - deep, strong massage but still gentle. A good amount of time spent on feet, then with hot stones. Then arms, legs, back. I remained fully clothed the entire time. I have experienced foot/body massage in China, Taiwan, other parts of California and this was among the best. Will definitely return next time in the area. read more

I just had one of the best massages ever. I highly recommend this place. It's clean, professional, and they are absolutely amazing at getting those knots out! read more

I considered not writing a review just so I could keep this place a secret for as long as possible! But, I just couldn't do it. I called today & made an appointment for 1 hour reflexology foot massage and 30 minute back massage. The woman who I spoke with on the phone was very nice and helpful. I wasn't sure what to expect because from the outside, it is not fancy. Bank Street is a super small street that is kinda like an alley & the business is located under another business. My massage was done by Ray. He was amazing! He got all of my knots out of my back. I was beyond relaxed! I had a headache when I arrived there, but it went away after Ray massaged my face & head. I can't wait to go back. read more

Walked-in and did 60 min back and shoulder massage. It was great!! I will definitely make this place my go to place :)

My husband and I get weekly massages in LA but wanted to find a masseuse in the Nevada City area. Spring Massage had good reviews on Yelp so we scheduled an appointment. WOW we were so happy with our combo massage! Michele and Amy were spectacular! Putting spring massage on our must do list on our monthly trips to NC. Can't wait to try their early bird special, 90 minutes for $65.00! read more

I found Spring Massage by mistake as a visitor walking in the Historic Downtown Grass Valley. I decided I needed to take care of myself and have a foot massage. That's a decision that I am proud of; WOW! I felt I was in another dimension as I entered with the ambiance and peaceful environment. When setup in my area, the massage I got was more than I expected; Not just a foot massage but covered hands, neck, shoulders, back and hips. I actually cried in relief. A grateful thank you to Spring for offering a quality, affordable, necessary service. I wish that I lived in the state so that I can go regularly but definitely recommend them and will pass on to my friends and family who do live nearby. read more

I never leave reviews but this one is necessary. I booked a couples massage, I am 8 months pregnant & upon my arrival the man sitting up front from what I thought was a receptionist later opened the curtain to begin my massage. The entire experience was so uncomfortable. I was given a towel wrapped around me & told to lay on my side. When he came in he didn't put a sheet over me instead took the towel and used it as a blanket? (Uhm what) then he began the "massage" which was taking his hands and massage the same spot on my shoulder for literally 20 min. I asked if they had any female massage therapist because I was convinced he had never massaged anyone in his entire life let alone a prenatal massage .... To which he replied "no very busy" 5 min later I asked for the massage to stop & he asked if I wanted him to massage my feet/ he didn't speak any English. I didn't want to ruin my fiancé's experience so I let him finish his hoping he was enjoying it. He later walked out and told me that was the worst massage he's ever gotten. I don't mean to bash any livelihood but that was actually ridiculous how horrible our experience with this place was. read more

I love this place! The people working there are so kind and welcoming. The inside is amazing! Quiet, cozy, and relaxing! Best rub down ever... Give it a shot, you'll never go anywhere else. read more

My husband and I dropped in on a whim, and SO GLAD we did! This place has charming ambience, fabulous prices, and the massage was exceptional. We got the 60 min full body- so refreshing! Will definitely be back when we're in the area again!! read more

Fantastic! I recommend asking for a massage with "May", she is a natural healer, strong, and thorough. Tip generously... the prices are so reasonable! read more

Really appreciate being accomodated by Yanni and being able to drop in for a 90 minute full-body massage every few weeks. Always get a good one! read more

First time here and it was great! It wasn't a typical massage but he really got in there and worked out the kinks. It was like a healing!

This place really is amazing! I've worked in the spa and salon industry for 20 years and know a good massage. This place blows most other massage out of the water, and for a fraction of the price. My suggestion or "tip" to anyone would be to remember gratuity and let that speak through the language barrier. read more

The absolute best massage I have ever had in my life! The place is cute, clean and relaxing. I've had massages in the past but never can get a masseuse who can do it hard enough! I need serious back work every now and then and I was totally impressed with them. William is awesome! read more
