Came here for a massage and got more what felt like a medical intervention with Jennifer over at…read moreLucky Foot Spa. I was in major pain, work has my back out of whack and was in desperate need for someone to get everything feeling better. I gave Lucky foot Spa a call and headed right over. I knew how messed up I was so I opted for the two hour massage for $140, such a great deal for something so necessary for me. Jennifer was my masseuse and she was super strong, maybe even too strong for me and I'm a thick gym goer who has a decent pain threshold. I thought I needed work on my back, but Jennifer found that the true cuplrit of my pain was my neck and shoulders. She tried to knead her way to get the knots out of my neck and shoulders, but I will definitely need a few more visits for a real resolution. Its been two days since that massage and I am feeling so much better! I definitely need to make a bi weekly massage part of my self care routine. When im ready for my next one, ill be right here at Lucky foot spa

Very welcoming, spacious and friendly I've been twice now first time was the body massage I don't think they paid attention to the body areas that I filled out on the clipboard so the second time I got the foot massage and it's basically the same thing as paying for the body massage.. Only downfall is when it comes to giving tip. They never seem satisfied, even though I did tip a good amount.

Didn't ask my name because they had caller id. I arrived on time, the only one there, and waited 15 minutes. No big deal. It may have just opened for day. Explained to the front desk the areas I'd like to focus on. They said no problem. 6-10 chair beds in one dimly lit room, good ambiance. Another person came in right after me and they sat us directly next to each other until the other person requested space. Massage was good, had to request more pressure. I specifically pointed to the places I wanted focus (forearm, thumb/hand, calf, Achilles, and foot & ball of foot -- all on the left side.) (also lower neck and behind my left ear to loosen the muscle near my eustachian tube) not only do I feel the right side was given the most attention, my left calf and Achilles weren't touched at all. Lots of attention paid to the feet and between the toes, shoulders and neck were nice too, but not evenly distributed. There were also supposed to be hot stones, but I don't think that was even done when i was laying flat. All and all, maybe a good massage if you're just looking for a general feel good rub, but don't go expecting transformation or anything mind blowing.

The rooms are always clean, the therapists are well trained with strong hands, and they'll take care of what you're looking for. I just saw JD and had a ton of neck and shoulder pain.

It's hard to find a massage therapist who listens to and understands the human body that well. I'll be going back for sure!

I had not had a massage in way too long, so it was badly needed. I called a few minutes after 5:00…read morep.m. on a Saturday and made a last-minute appointment for as soon as I could get there. I said that I would definitely be there by 6:00; I was marked down for 5:45 in case I arrived early. I opted for the Thai Combination massage. Kris walked on my back and leg muscles, which were incredibly tight. I did not want my massage to end! I was given 10% off the total bill for my first visit. I was also given a loyalty card with a stamp; after 10 paid massages, I will get one for free! My only complaint is that it was not a full 90 minutes - more like 85. That may be because I was still filling out some paperwork at the scheduled start time. This shouldn't have been counted against me, but I can imagine this was not conveyed to Kris, who was likely just basing off the clock rather than a time. The Lakeshore Ave location is just one mile from my new apartment, so it will be easy to come back.

A really great experience at Russamee Thai Massage. The space is clean, calm, and welcoming, and…read morethe staff is professional and kind from the moment you walk in. The massage itself was excellent, thoughtful pressure, very attentive to problem areas, and clearly done by someone who really knows what they're doing. I left feeling incredibly relaxed, with my muscles noticeably eased, especially in my shoulders and back. I also slept like a baby that night, which says everything. Pricing is reasonable for the quality, and it's easy to book. This is now one of my go-to spots when I need real relief (not just a light spa massage). Highly recommend if you're looking for a solid, authentic Thai massage in Oakland

The membership discount is such a great perk and makes it easy to come back regularly. I usually go either by myself for some much needed self care or with a friend, and we book the couples massage.

Linda and Judy are my absolute favorites. They are both incredibly skilled, attentive, and consistent. I always leave feeling relaxed and reset. Highly recommend if you are looking for a welcoming, professional spa with a great atmosphere

Unfortunately I have to update my review to reflect my past few visits. I asked for Gina this time…read morebased on other reviews that said she focused well on their problem areas. This was sadly not my experience... I'm not sure what the little paper given at the beginning is supposed to be for, because most of the masseuses seem to treat the areas circled as "don't touch" rather than "focus on." This has happened to me multiple times at My Beauty Spa, where the areas I've asked for have remained untouched (especially the hands. I work with my hands and desperately need hand massage). The only masseuses so far who have given me a good massage here are Anna (no longer listed as an employee) and Linda or Judy (one did my massage and one did my partner's, I cannot remember which). I've now had poor experiences with 3 other masseuses here. I've attached an image -- circled in green are the areas I asked for focus, and circled in orange are the areas I was massaged. I got a 90 minute massage today and of the 90 minutes, about 1-2 minutes total was spent on my hands, less than 10 minutes on my neck/jaw/traps, and the area of glutes I circles was just glided over. I instead got about 30 minutes straight of shoulder blade scraping with elbow, 10 mins per side scraping my outer thighs, 25 mins on calves and feet. About 90% of the massage was done with elbows and knuckles, hardly any finger pressure was done -- I understand this technique is used to avoid hand strain, but it should not be so imbalanced. I can take very deep pressure and this massage hurt me, because she was using bone over bone. You should not use the elbow and forearm bone, or knuckles, to massage over bones and joints. Bone on bone is painful. She also randomly turned on the light and left the room without saying anything, I assume to gather some supplies, but it would be courteous to mention. I left my massage in more pain than when I came in. When I told the receptionist at checkout and showed her what was actually massaged on the map, no resolution was offered. She just turned the checkout screen with the $115 total toward me, and said next time I can just tell them at the front desk again to make sure the masseuse does the circled areas. Isn't that what I already did though? Why did I even fill out the paper at all if you are not giving it to the masseuse to focus on the areas circled? I never saw my paper hung on the door of my room or sitting in the room at all before or after the massage, though other rooms did have papers hung on the door mine did not. I paid in cash as well -- the cash discount was not honored, and no concession was offered for my pain upon leaving or for the complete lack of focus on my problem areas. I'm in a lot of pain now and even more tense than before in the problem areas, and extremely stressed out. I needed this massage desperately due to stress, chronic pain, and burnout. Now I have to wait for what they've done to heal and pay again for someone else to fix me, as I'm so incredibly tense. Whatever she did on my shoulder blades made the pain in my neck and trapezius much worse. I'm really sad and disappointed. I just paid $125 with tip (normally I'd tip more if it was well done) to get worse, essentially. I'm sitting here rubbing my sore neck and shoulders in my car and crying from the stress. This isn't even considering a previous time I came in for massage and the masseuse (Fion) was literally on her phone the first 15 minutes and barely massaging me with one hand. That time, I just walked out because it was so ridiculous. Unfortunately I don't find My Beauty Spa a reliable place for massage anymore which is sad because when Anna was there I would come every other week.
