If you're like me that love a good HARD massage they will do it without you asking for it. I was worried I'd be sore the next day but they really know what they were doing cause I felt nothing but RELIEF. I've never been taken care of like this. Omg. I didn't say a single word during the whole massage I was just in heaven and after the massage was done she just said thank you and laughed cause she knows she just gave you the best massage of your life. I'M NEVER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I will tell everyone about it. OMG I LOVE IT.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with this business. I made multiple attempts to…read moreschedule a massage appointment, and both times the business failed to follow through with the confirmed appointment. The first time, I received a message stating that the person scheduled to perform my massage needed to leave early. When I scheduled again, I was contacted and told that they were overbooked. I understand that unexpected situations can happen, but having this occur twice is frustrating and raises concerns about how appointments are being managed. What makes it even more confusing is that the business advertises that walk-ins are welcome. If scheduled appointments are being overbooked or canceled because staff are unavailable, I'm not sure how walk-in availability is being accommodated.

I had my first ever real massage at The Now last week and I'm still thinking about it. After having…read morean insanely stressful last couple weeks at work I wanted to treat myself and try to decompress and Jordan was absolutely amazing. All of the questions at the beginning to gauge my comfortability and how I wanted the massage to proceed left me feeling so at ease when it actually started. I had had a cheapy chair massage up in the bay area at a different establishment years ago that I hated. I had kept waiting for it to end. But with Jordan I was shocked when it wrapped. It wasn't long enough and my muscles and all the stress I had been carrying had dissipated. Will surely be back to have another session with her! Also the scalp treatment add on is a must! Smelt like cookie butter and for anyone with chronic migraines it's a 10 out of 10!

I booked a last-minute 80-minute massage with Emmanuel because I'm moving out of state next week…read moreand had two membership credits left to use. I honestly went in with pretty low expectations because I have extremely tight hips and piriformis issues, and it's rare that I find someone who really understands the type of massage and pressure I need. I don't know where Emmanuel came from, but he is incredible. I barely had to explain anything. I just mentioned where I was tight and what was bothering me, and from literally the first minute until the end, everything was perfect. The pressure, pace, technique, and areas he focused on were exactly what my body needed. I have genuinely never had a massage where I had absolutely zero feedback or adjustments to give. I was so relaxed I fell asleep a couple of times. I immediately booked another 80-minute massage with him for next week before I move. Now I'm actually so bummed that I discovered Emmanuel right before leaving Long Beach because if I had found him sooner, I would have been booking with him every single week. Emmanuel is seriously amazing. One of the best massages I've ever had, hands down. The NOW Long Beach has an absolute gem on their team.

I thought I wrote a review but I guess I didn't! So I found…read morethis place many years ago. Probably about 10-12 years. I remembered this place because they're the only ones I've been to that offer the stamp card. Super good deal, btw! Anyway, there's a reason I keep coming back, because obviously, but I need to be specific: Lately, my back has been super sore (been to the gym 3 days in a row and muscles are fatigued PLUS, lower back has been super sore and stiff. Chiropractors help a little but it's not enough) so I was planning on coming here and then going to a Chiro appointment and maybe even acupuncture too! Just a self care kinda day. I earned it! Well, last week, I came here and I asked for someone strong for deep tissue massage (I usually request a male) so I got Lucas (I think?) and he was super strong! He got in the deep muscle tissues to help me release lactic acid and I felt so much better. I got the 90 min (30 min foot and 60 min body) deal and it was WORTH IT! Plus, I tipped on the card. Be generous guys... this is a workout for them! I massaged a few friends a while ago and it makes you sweat! Even a Swedish massage! Anyway, today... I could barely walk and decided to take a 2nd day off of gym. Rolling on a foam didn't work for me. I needed to be kneaded like a dough! IYKYK! lol! So I didn't care who massaged me but I called before driving over and I got an appt within 5 min of getting there. There were several ladies available! Woohoo! I guess they rotate in shift unless you ask for someone specifically. I got Jenny! (Now don't go booking her! She's my new person now! lol!) She was amazing! She saved me a trip to the Chiro! I told them in my broken Chinese-English that I work out and my whole body was super sore... and showed them where it hurt! She understood the assignment! I got another 90 min combo deal and it was less than $100! She did my foot reflexology and calves. Then we moved to the room. I got completely naked and got under the thin, soft sheet. She came in and went to work! Not too hard but just perfect! She stood on my back and released so much tension and tight knots on my back and butt! Wow! Then she used her arms and elbows and hands and dug out all the lactic acid buildup! Seriously... all athletes need to come here. They know what they're doing! I LOVED the hot stones and the stretches she made my body do! My stiff body went "Crack, crack, crack" and I felt like a new and young person again! Saved money on chiropractic appt so I tipped her 40%! She was shocked and so grateful! I was more grateful, are you kidding?! I was also surprised it was almost empty... but not everyone is self employed like me! lol! I heard a guy come in saying it was his first time EVER getting a massage. Too cute! He's in for a treat! All in all, 5 star massage! I don't care about the parking lot or location... I'll always come back here! Thank you guys! Tip well, ok? They'll remember you. ;)

This place is a dump. I tried to hard to like them. First time, okay. I asked for a women, but got…read morea man. He was nice, but could not understand any English at all so when I was asking to focus on my left shoulder. He just didn't understand. Second time was a women & she did a good for the price. It's was hard to relax as they seem to have people upset when they leave & now o understand why. So while my 2ed time there are people upset about & I overheard them saying they didn't get their full time & refused to pay the full price. In my mind at this moment, I felt bad as I thought the customer was trying to full one over. But then through my own experiences learned this was probably not the issue after all & was in fact the business. Also I hate to say this, but the place on the 2ed & 3rd visit smelled like armpits, and dirty feet. Body Oder, and then some. I wanted to make it out to old building, and lack of ventilation, but it's not a clean place. Fast forward to my 3rd & final visit. Let me say the only reason I did go back again was my neck & back issues, it being in the neighborhood, and the call same day appointment works nice for me. I would say the prices, but there are many little places like this that offer same type of prices. Anyways, I paid for 60 minute deep massage (not deep in my opinion) seemed more like a regular Swedish, & the 20 minutes extra of the feet for 60$ and feet for 20$ extra a simple total of 80$. They did make me a little nervous before as they said 80$ them 90$ then 80$ and i actually said I'll just stick to the 60$ deep tissue hour, and then they went back to the 80$. Ugh. So anyways, I went with the 80$ deal. Or so I thought ha. after discussing the package I was going to get, I didn't get on the table until 7:10 & then she came in about 5 minutes later. Making it now 7:15 when she started the massage, and it was nice, other then the smell of armpits, but it seemed short. I was relaxed when I left & didn't really pay attention even though on the table I did think it went by fast. I was driving home & looked at my clock, and it said 7:44 pm. I gave her a 20$ tip. Paid 100 total, for what I can confirm a 35 minute massage at most by my call log to call them before i arrived & when I was coming back for difference of 40$ really should have been more as a 30 minute massage there cost 30$ and I just over 30min with the trouble of having to turn around to discuss this with them. I now understand why every time, I've been there someone has been upset up Front as a customer. Nobody wants to deal with that. definitely not after trying to relax and getting a massage. Then as I've witnessed the man who own the place will all the sudden act like he does not understand English. He kept telling me we don't have an 8pm appointment when I called & he clearly I had just been there for a 7pm appointment. He also acknowledged the fact I was supposed to be getting and 80 minute massage & then I'm trying to point out the timeline. It does not line up even close. He then goes to not understanding me. He also hung up on me when I tried to call him once I'm driving home and I see the time on the clock to see how we can resolve this as I'm supposed to still be getting a massage at this time and he hung up on me. So if you do go to this business, I would be very careful of watching the time and confirming the price if you do anything extra other than just there is basic massage or deep massage. Is recommend watching the price and watch the time. One last thing if you use their punchcard for the 20$ off 10th visit make sure to have them sign, and use the red stamp also or Leo will say it's not legit & stamp over where it's been signed from previous visit. So even their own card system for discount that they have by their own decision, they try to cheat out of that and don't honor that. You have to watch them with everything and it's just not the way a massage is supposed to go or any business. 7:55 call time is 10 minute after leo hung up on me & drove me & got my 40$ refund. bottom of the barrel with you. I left from my 7 pm appt & 7:44pm & called at 8:02 as it dawned on me i should still be on the massage table. **** I was still at work at 6 lol you can't just say somebody was somewhere they weren't people these days can prove there's cameras everywhere. I was nowhere near your location at 6 PM. So thank you for acknowledging that you did rip me off and many other people say the similar stuff. You can't just make up false timelines and say somebody was somewhere when they weren't there. Hello there's cameras everywhere. People can prove where they are. You really just show yourself the dishonest business you are with that comment. You literally came on here and lied about my appointment time that's wild. lol I was no where near your business at 6pm! LOL that's hilarious though. Like I said watch the time w them

The best 90 minutes of my life!…read more As a Yelp Elite, I've had my fair share of massages, and I can confidently say my 90-minute session at GMedical Spa with Mateo was hands-down the best massage I've ever had in my life. From the moment I arrived, Mateo made me feel completely comfortable and welcomed me with the welcome package I booked. I decided to add on myofascial work for my neck, shoulders, and quads, and WOW... best decision ever. He somehow knew exactly where all my problem areas were and went straight to work. No guessing, no wasted time...just pure relief. I will officially no longer be going to those Thai massages where they stomp all over me . Mateo's technique was incredibly effective, but I was also completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time. I left feeling so rested, loose, and relaxed that I honestly didn't want the 90 minutes to end. I'm already excited for my next session because I'll be adding cupping! If you're looking for someone who truly listens to your body and knows exactly how to work out the areas that need attention, book with Mateo. You will not regret it!

I was hopeful as my excellent regular massage therapist was injured in a car accident so I was…read morelooking for something local and affordable. I have heard mixed experienced from locals about Belmont Shore Spa and thought I would at least give it a try because the rates looked very affordable. I originally talked with Diane about a 90-minute deep tissue and at the time 60 was avail for the next day. I booked that for the next day and was told she would send verification to text and it was not received till next day (minor concern). But I got a nervous feel, and I was told many times CASH! That is no problem. Then what seemed like a nice shift.. I was informed Lynn could take me for 90 minutes if I came by right away. And I asked fee and was told $100 cash which is also listed on the website. Great .. easy . I grabbed a $100 and was out the door. Parking was horrible though and I had to walk literally 4 blocks. Upon arriving Diane was friendly and introduced me to Lynn who seemed tense, and non-communicative. I wasn't expecting just curtains and no private rooms which felt mediocre to me but I understand this type of set up is often customary. I undressed and ask Lynn to please use just coconut oil. The massage was incredibly rough and I had to say a few times to go lighter. The experience was horrible.. tense, then she got on top of me and straddled my body digging in. This felt incredibly uncomfortable though I know this is done in some traditions. But it felt unprofessional. To me there is no need to straddle someone on the table. I wondered if this was some Thai sex massage parlor, it made me uncomfortable. When I tried to talk about what I needed and what to do she shushed me for talking. This made me even more uncomfortable- Though some areas of my body did feel looser after the massage. That night I had horrible pain and felt worse. Now I have had massages for over 40 years and NEVER once had this kind of reaction. I still have burning in my shoulder and felt she caused injury. To make matters worse then I went to pay $100 which I was told and she said it was $105. Luckily I had atm which sometimes when paying cash I don't bring ATM. . So felt extremely tacky to atm me for $5. Next I was never asked by Lynn or Dianne if I would like to leave a tip. AND TIPPING IS OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!! Hassling customers for tips is simply unprofessional .. HINT Customers will WANT to tip for exceptional care and service. Before I left I asked some other questions to find Lynn for example is there 9-6 M-F Like seriously? I get it now. This is a sweatshop slumlord style operation where they overwork their massage therapists and probably pay them little. Instead of basic business skills. Then I'm on the Freeway about 15 minutes later and receive a call from Dianne asking where is the tip? Are you serious? How stressful, tacky, unprofessional and just rude. .. Completely unprofessional, miscommunication, misrepresentation on website of fees. SO yes this is one of the cheapest spots in 90803 area code but now I know why. If you want a cheap massage this is your place ===customer beware! I have now talked to two other neighbors that had horrible experiences at this location. This review is on Diane and what I experienced, and the painful and unfriendly massage I had with Lynn. Won't be back, and will tell my friends, to stay away in droves.

I have been training the last 10-12 years nonstop and have undergone many injuries, along with extreme tension and tightness in my body from combat sports. Prior Experience with Bodywork: I have met many physical therapists, massage therapists, and chiropractors, but this is the first time I have left a session knowing my body actually feels better and that the person truly cared about my pain and health. Skill, Technique, and Awareness: Mrs. Ayanna did not miss one beat and there were NO wasted movements. Minute by minute, she analyzed my body, and without me needing to say a word, she found the spots that were extremely painful and tight. She took her time working those areas before moving on to the next issue. Usually, I have to tell the therapist what needs to be worked on, but I'm guessing she could just feel what was wrong and carefully applied pressure where it was needed with the utmost precision Ambience & Environment: The ambience and beauty of the facility were amazing. I have trained at many places, and this was hands down one of the best-looking locations I have seen in a while. The tone of peace was set, and the music was chosen for relaxation. I explained my problems and Mrs. Ayanna went straight to work Care & Thoughtfulness: I am so happy to know that I now have somebody who can help me work through my pain and tightness from years of abuse from MMA Mrs. Ayanna even provided me with a sample of the herbs she used to help me with my breathing and pain, which you don't often see someone offer.
