Very little to no communication, which made things even more uncomfortable. The beds don't have an actual head rest for facing downwards, so my face was smushed into the makeshift one on top of the bed + a paper towel... Parking is limited due to the area -- I had found street parking a few blocks away. I was shorted on the time a tiny bit, but only realized once I was in my car and driving home (because I noticed the time was exactly an hour after I had walked in to the shop). 60 minutes should be exactly 60 minutes. Overall, uncomfortable experience and I would not do it again :(

Last night I decided to give them one last try and booked a 90 minute massage. For the first 30 - 40 minutes, I kept hearing a buzzing and the massage therapist kept either switching to one hand or just resting a hand for a minute or so without moving it. I finally looked up to find that she had been texting the whole time she was working on me. I called her out on it and she finally focused on the massage. Will not be going back. If you're thinking of going here, don't waste your time or money.

Given the past reviews, I requested a female therapist and my partner had a male therapist. The massages were very firm and strong. They work hard here and got a good amount of knots out. I would describe the massage as a lot of pressure with a Swedish and acupressure style with some Thai massage-like stretches. I think there were instances of the deep tissue massage on my shoulders, but there could have been more deep tissue at other aspects of the massage, though don't be afraid to ask them to focus on certain spots. The place was cold with AC on, but the hot stones they put on your foot, back and neck throughout were warming. The place was separated into various rooms with curtains. To respond to other comments about tipping -- Because massage places like these are deeply discounted costing $40-70 instead of $80-110, I don't understand the issue with tipping $20 for a strong massage. It is still deeply discounted, so keep that in mind when frequenting these "cheaper" massage places - people still deserve a living wage. Would definitely recommend this no-frills place.

They got the job done! Walk in welcomed, no appointment needed, so affordable for deep tissue and…read morehot stone included. I'll call it the deli of massage whenever you're super tight and needing deep tissue massage without the hassle of making an appointment and still having to wait a few days or even weeks. Quick in and out so don't expect any amenities nor compare it to your typical luxury spa. I spontaneous drop in on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm because my shoulder and back were so tight. I got the 90 minutes combo for $70, tipped $20 since it was exactly what I needed with no added luxuries of standard spa. I always loved deep tissue massage so I didn't mind a male masseur. He checked in often with me to ensure the pressure was okay. I asked if I wanted him to walked on my back and of course I did. All and all I was satisfied with my treatment for a very affordable price of $90 total for 90 minutes whole body massage; you can't ask for anything less than that. If you have sensitive skin, perhaps skip the facial massage part since l'm almost certain they use the same lotion for the whole body as well though I didn't ask them to confirm it. Since I live near by so I went straight home to take a shower afterwards. It's best you wear short or shrort and tank top for full body massage. You always have the option to undress to your comfort level or fully clothed.

Once you get in they ask for full payment up front PLUS TIP 4.). I've never had someone use so much oil on just my back I told her I would go ahead and pay but I would not leave a tip yet she wanted me to leave the tip area blank so they could fill it in. I put a big 0 with a line thru it. Tips are based on services you receive not knowing what I was getting I was not leaving a tip ahead of time. She used hot towels & rocks on my shoulders. I just got a upper body massage since I had sore neck muscles It's definitely a different type of massage. She used her elbows to massage more than her hands I decided to leave a tip so I changed the 0 to was going to leave $10 tip she said no no no you have to leave $20 so she pushed me to leave $20 tip ontop of the $70 hour rate plus the fee to use credit card which there is no sign about a fee they charge for credit card

It's…read moretaken me a minute to write this review only because I am finally able to revisit my experience in my mind. I decided to try this massage place out because I read the great reviews. I feel like I owe it to my fellow massage lovers out there to share my experience. Long story short, my visit to Ya Ya Massage Spa was like a bad dream. My first impression of this place was the smell. I cant really describe with words, but it was disgusting. Next, was the room where my massage took place. It was eerie. It had a red glow from a light that had been sloppily painted red? Creepy. (See picture). I got undressed and soon realized there was nowhere to put my clothes because the hook on the door had someone else's shirt and some sort of negligee! Wtf! (See picture). I remember thinking to myself "what kind of place have I come to!" I thought about leaving then, and I should have. I'm too nice. After undressing, I realized there was nothing on the table to cover myself with and I wasn't given any instruction on what to use, so I found a towel in a basket and used that. The massage itself was mediocre and probably would have been considered fine if it weren't for the fact that the woman was playing an Asian pop song on her phone on REPEAT! I said something, but she just changed it to another pop song which then was on repeat. She also did a terrible job draping me--I felt completely exposed through the whole massage. The massage cost me $70 (I used a coupon on their website) and I still tipped because once again, I am too nice.

The woman very politely said yes she was available, and literally within five minutes of the call! She was very strong intuitive and absolutely helped my body in a matter of 30 minutes! I can't tell you how many massages in Portland. I've been disappointed with not hard enough., rarely and only one session , but this was absolutely amazing & I really look forward to going back!
