My skin has been super dry and dull lately, plus I got a terrible night of sleep on the plane, so I was beyond glad Chi Yu was able to take me as a walk in. Noriko was so sweet and friendly, as was the lady who checked me in at the front (I didn't get her name). The facility is clean and cozy, offering tea or water when you arrive. The facial with products includes eminence products which all smelled and felt incredible. They also specialize in Japanese Cosmo Lifting Massages and Noriko integrated some of that into my facial, which was great and something new for me. The facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I'll definitely make this my spot whenever I'm in London!

I was dreaming of some relief and started to do a quick search on Yelp for somewhere quite near my office. Nothing too laborious as my day was packed...so just a quick tune-up via chair massage was in order. Chi Yu to the rescue! Lovely staff and very welcoming. From making the appointment, to arrival, and situation all the way to checkout and bidding them adieu, everyone was so very nice. Somewhat sad that this is not a given, but in London it certainly isn't! This makes Chi Yu stand out. I made an appointment for same day with Rie, who was great. I was escorted downstairs to the treatment area, and given 30 minutes of chair massage. Brilliant, just what I wanted. She was very communicative and definitely helped ease the tension. I probably need one every day for a month to really work it out, but this really helped. I took a menu and will definitely be back. Really like the vibe of this place, the atmosphere (also SUPER clean), and the service offerings. Facials, beauty + Wellness massage, reflexology, Thai massage, etc. £15 (plus a bit extra for Rie) --- well worth it.

I was greeted by Ali, who opened the shop a little early for me as I got there early, and as said, had no idea what was going on in the universe as I don't know London at all.

I'd recommend this place happily to a bunch more people that had no idea what was going on in the galaxy. May you be massaged!

Its a little hidden but I glimpsed the sign and thought I would just drop in and see what it was like. They didn't have any open slots as a walk-in and now I know why. The technicians are just SO VERY GOOD at what they do - I spent the next two days in a row for 2 separate I 90 minute foot massages. I so wish I could remember my technician's name - I requested her both times - she put me at ease immediately upon arrival for the first. I had never been to a group massage studio before but everything is so peaceful and quiet. The chair was a tiny bit old fashioned but it reclined beautifully. My goodness - just try them. I can't say anything more without missing them even more now that I am stateside once again.

I have to preface this review by saying that I didn't have a particular ailment, because of which I…read moreneed to see Mario from the Central London Reflexology Clinic. In fact, I simply like to try out new things and a foot reflexology massage had been on my to-experience list for quite some time. And when I saw various pictures of this practise in my Yelp-feed, I went to Mario's website and made an appointment. Since then, I've seen Mario twice: first time, he actually came to my house and set up shop. He brought his very comfortable massage chair, a docking-station to play some soothing music...and of course he brought himself and his hands. First, he asked me various questions about my medical history etc. and then he started off massaging my feet. Given that I hadn't reported any particular problem that he should focus on, Mario gave me a general foot massage that was indeed very pleasant and soothing...I drifted away into la-la-land and almost fell asleep. Second time, I went to see Mario at his Central London practice on Harley Street. Once again, I didn't have any real problem, but I had enjoyed the previous massage and decided to "go for it" again. This time though, I asked Mario to be less gently and apply more pressure. This was a good choice and when I walked away from my appointment, I almost felt like I had worked out myself...I experienced that kind of gratifying feeling you have after a firm work-out at the gym ;-) After the second appointment, Mario mentioned that he had sensed a few tense areas in my body and just wanted to make sure that I wasn't experiencing major problems there. It looks like he was sensing this right, as indeed some of the areas were giving me a little trouble. Overall, I can very much recommend Mario's service. What I especially liked, was the sense of excellent customer service: I received various notifications, reminding me of my appointment with him. I also tremendously liked the payment-flow, which was as easy as I've never experienced before. On top of it all, Mario is a very nice man and I felt very much at ease in his hands...literally speaking!

When I walked in, I received a friendly and compassionate greeting, was asked about my needs, and received suggestions for services that would be most helpful. I was ushered to a comfortable and well-appointed treatment room, where I prepared for the massage. My therapist was quick to enter and get underway. She did a most amazing job. With my predicament, the massage was intense...one of the more intensive ones I have experienced. The intensity was necessary and my therapist's efforts were appreciated! At the end of the massage, the therapist told me what to expect afterward with respect to healing. I was able to move with much less pain and am looking forward to a completely corrected back after the experience. I would absolutely recommend this business and will certainly return.
