The Loop was MY Secret for years. It is a gift to our community: professional, clean, and all around AMAZING. Each massage therapist has their own technique, so find someone who does exactly what you want. The greeter always asks if you want soft, medium or hard, and where on your body you would like to focus. You have to speak up for yourself, after 5 minutes if you find it's not right for you & if you are unhappy, don't wait for the massage to be over to complain When I read negative reviews, I feel outraged. It's on you to speak up. Enjoy!! read more

I have frozen shoulders that are thawing, and I have been seeing Bill once a week. He has incredibly strong hands. It's one of the most painful massages I've ever experienced, but in the very best way (I get elbow-dig, deep-tissue work, too), and I wouldn't want it any other way. Every time I leave, I gain more mobility in my arm, shoulder, and neck. The Loop is clean, cozy, and simple (with curtains closed for privacy). If you're easily distracted, you might sometimes hear other massages happening in the semi-open area. The front desk staff are always cheerful and kind. And everyone is punctual. I tip 30%, considering how low the starting prices are for the massages and how hard the masseuses work. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I booked a 45 min full body massage with a female masseuse. The lady at the reception area was very sweet and confirmed if I still wanted to do a 45 min massage and my preference on full body or upper body. She also asked for my preferred intensity level (soft, medium, or firm). It is a small space so there are multiple stations in the back that are nicely decorated. I met Sophia, my masseuse, and she began right away. It was very relaxing and Sophia did incredible! I will definitely be returning. Business does prefer cash payments, but also take card payment. There are 1 hour meter parking at the main road Ocean Park Blvd. read more

See all

I always have an amazing experience here! The atmosphere was clean, relaxing, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My massage therapist, Lily, was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, professional, and made sure the pressure was perfect throughout the entire session. My other favorite massage therapist is Coco! read more

Loved this place for affordable yet high quality massages!! The receptionist was so kind and the space was very clean and peaceful. My masseuse Anne was great and the pressure was perfect. Can't wait to go back! read more

Incredible service from the receptionist to all of the massage therapists. Amazing massage, amazing prices.

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. When I arrived, the receptionist asked what pressure I preferred, and I clearly said "soft." However, once the massage started, the therapist used hard pressure. I repeatedly asked -- at least four times -- for softer pressure, but my requests were ignored and she continued doing what she wanted. She didn't even massage properly -- it felt like she was just doing compressions the entire time. At one point, she got on top of me and started using her knees, which I did not ask for. My boyfriend's therapist did not do anything like that, so it made the experience even more concerning. On top of that, she began stretching me in a way that exposed my chest, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and violated my sense of privacy. Throughout the entire session, she also kept talking and asking me personal questions about my tattoos, which completely took away from any chance to relax. Overall, this experience felt unprofessional, uncomfortable, and disrespectful of my boundaries. I would not return. The receptionist did not charge me for this massage so I guess thats cool. read more

I love this place. It's very reasonably priced and they stay open late (perfect for someone who deserves a massage after a long day of work). The masseuse took really good care of me and I felt like all of my knots were massaged out of me. I'm already planning my next appointment to come. 10/10 read more

Great massage every time. Clean, comfortable. Welcoming and friendly staff. A lot of excellent massage therapists so can almost always accommodate. Very good price - definitely a good value. read more

Parking can be a bit tricky on this side of the business because of residential permit parking, but across the street where the park is, you should be able to find parking. Make sure that you park on the no permit side! I love how the rooms are setup, it is quite vibey with the flowy curtains. Like most massage places, it is open air, so you might hear some minor noises, people snoring, the usual haha Their deals are amazing, 90 minute for $80 cash is unreal. They will always ask you if its too light or too hard, be honest! You are a paying customer and quite frankly so many people wait till its over to comment that they didn't get "the massage" that they were seeking. Communication is key! Overall the staff is very friendly and quick to help, my cousin and I went and we left feeling brand spanking new! I uploaded the service options and pricing, so give it a go! Also lots of small restaurants, a market, bakery, pizzeria, ice cream place, bagel shop across the way to keep you busy while you wait. read more

My boyfriend and I make it a point to get a massage every time we visit LA. We recently tried this place and were thoroughly impressed. The prices are great and the front desk staff is incredibly friendly. Amy and Gia, the massage therapists were amazing. We opted for the couple massage, which was incredibly relaxing. We'll definitely be returning! read more

Do yourself a favor and go here. So reasonably priced and fab massage. I've never had a bad masseuse

Amazing massage therapists - the staff is kind and professional. Every time I come regardless of who I have the massages are amazing. The price is so good and I love that they use the hot stones and even massage your face and cranium. It is our new go to spot weekly! read more

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately...you get what you pay for. The front desk woman was very friendly. The masseuse herself did not even introduce herself and there appeared to be a substantial language barrier. That made it very hard to communicate what I needed and wanted from the massage. I asked for a deep tissue massage and definitely did not get that. I also asked the massage therapist to avoid a few areas like my neck, and the front desk woman translated for me, but she kept ignoring that so I had to keep moving away and asking her to stop. I left feeling like I wasted my money and time. read more

It looks small and unassuming from the street, but inside it's a lot larger than it seems. My husband and I went for a couples massage and I wanted more pressure and him less. They nailed it. I didn't get the elbow dig "deep tissue". I got a true muscular deep tissue. The next day I want sore at all. Both my husband and I nodded off during the massage - and that never happens! read more

I go here for frequent massages. I think it's really good, massages are great and everyone is kind. The only thing I wish that could be different is if it could be more quiet/serene that way I can focus on relaxing, that's more of a guest courtesy issue rather than the business issue though. I would just bring ear plugs if you are the type to need silence during your massage. read more

I get massages pretty often since I bodybuild , I Saw the good reviews so I said why not there's more good ones than bad ones so it's gotta be a good spot right ...... lol I Didn't want to leave a review but I have to be honest , the receptionist lady is probably one of the best receptionist lady's I've encountered , very nice , accommodating , friendly, she has great energy, Refreshing ,That part was great , now when it comes to the massage, maybe I got unlucky and got one of the older ladies who didn't know what she was doing , there was zero technique, everything was random , it just felt like she kept guessing what to do like she had no idea what to do during the massage. I had to tell her to use massage oil , like 20 mins into it she's just patting my back and my legs with the cover on me letting the time pass & I'm thinking when is the actual massage going to start .... it just felt like she was going through the motions and not really focused on if I was getting a good massage. She was much older & didn't speak English , It wasn't good at all, towards the end she tryed to massage my face with dry hands and I left with red inflamed marks under my cheek bones from the irritation , I'm chocolate so you can imagine how unhappy I was seeing that when I went into the restroom, and the receptionist lady asked how it was & I kept it real with her & she told me come back and try another lady which I more than likely won't . I gave it a shot. Wish my experience was better. read more

Always reliable. Be clear if you want to emphasize a specific area because, depending on the therapist, there could be a language barrier. This is my go-to massage place pre and post-travel. I highly recommend if you're a local. read more

Simply Amazing. I've been going to The Loop for the past 3 years. I had several different injuries, broken shoulder and broken ankle, and they have always helped with my recoveries. They are very attentive to your specific needs. Booking is super easy. I have walked in several times or booked 15 minutes before the appointment. I'm so happy to have this place in our neighborhood. read more

Love this place! My partner and I have been here twice now, and each visit has been nothing short of amazing. The quality of the massages is top-notch, especially considering how affordable the prices are. You really can't beat the value you get here. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional--they make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, which adds so much to the overall experience. We've both left feeling refreshed and completely at ease every time. Honestly, I don't think we'll be going to another massage place again--this one has everything we're looking for. Highly recommend! read more

10/10 recommend. My endorphins are so high that It takes me a while to come back. Haha

Excellent prices and excellent service! If you have jaw pain, see bill! I went for the first time tonight and it was great.

It was an incredible massage! I couldn't recommend it more. The place was clean, relaxing, and beyond wonderful. Anna was my masseuse and I left feeling 10x better. My body was sore, and she knew exactly what to do. I will absolutely be back! I'm so happy I found this place. read more

Loop massage is a great place to get an inexpensive massage. I have always been able to get a last minute massage . Lulu and Cindy are great. read more

It was so peaceful. I have social anxiety and I felt absolutely safe and welcomed here. They took care of me very well and I recommend everyone to come here! read more

I love the Loop! Massages are amazing especially when they use the hot stones as part of your treatment, which is included not extra. The prices can't be beat either! The staff are pleasant and the place is clean and esthetics are nice. The only one thing I can think of that could be a con is there are only huge heavy canvas curtains that separate the individual massage areas not private rooms with doors. It's still private however you might occasionally hear a whisper. Between the fabulous massage and zen music it's easy to tune out any occasional slight whisper. Medium pressure massage is subjective and can depend on whether you have a male or female masseuse. So be clear on the type of pressure you prefer for your massage whether deep tissue or just relaxing mild pressure. Don't sleep on this place it's definitely a place to for a massage! read more

This is the best massage we've ever had in our life we WILL be back! The heated massage tables were so cozy and I left about to take the biggest nap of my life I was so relaxed. They're so on top of it I love them read more

I just had a great massage for the first time here. I got the 90 minute Swedish massage and asked for medium pressure with a focus on neck and shoulders. The masseuse (forgot to ask for her name) was amazing and I will definitely be back. Be aware that it's in a shared room with private sections, so if you're sensitive to noise just keep that in mind, but I found it really easy to tune out any residual noise. Got a delicious vegan froyo after next door :) My new monthly ritual! read more

Best massage I've had in my life and I've been 20+ places easily. I get Bill, and he is so good, im scared to mention him because he will get too busy -- but he deserves it. Feels way longer than time given and it's perfect for healing muscles. He unstuck part of my back that had been locked for 4+ years. Can't say enough good things about Bill and the place overall. Perfect if you want a real massage and not ambiance BS read more

I don't think I've ever been THAT satisfied by a massage. I'm a changed woman! The one hour Thai massage by Emily was amazing. I over exerted myself in workouts this week and pushed new limits that caused stiffness. I felt like I needed something extra so that I could move around without walking like a brittle old woman and The Loop came through. I usually leave massages feeling like it lacked something here or there or like I still have some of the same pain or stiffness and this time it was almost like Emily had a sixth sense for everything I needed. Amazing! read more

First timer at this Massage boutique. I will give the cliff notes: 1) Cannot beat the price 2) The place was very clean with no weird smells 3) Extremely easy to make an apt and they were ready as soon as I arrived which was 8 min early. No wait time. 4) Staff was very friendly and attentive 5) I love a massage that hurts because of the amount of pressure and I got exactly what I asked for. Deep pressure with a focus on the areas I communicated. 6) I know every experience and masseuse is different but I had a great massage from Anna. Here are things to consider: 1) This is not a spa like Burke Williams- it is a massage place. I actually prefer this and don't need all of those extras- I just want a good massage at a reasonable price. 2) The first 20 min is massage over the sheet. Sometimes that bugs me because I want the oil and hands on the entire time- but she used her elbows and really made it worth the time. 3) I think you MUST communicate what you want in a massage, otherwise they won't know. The front desk person asked and I got exactly what I wanted. Overall, I will definitely be returning! read more

The attention to areas of pain and overall body massage is absolutely amazing every single time. I have been coming here for over 2 years and I have no plans to stop. I truly recommend this place for a full body massage and you can not beat the price any where else in LA. read more

Wish I could leave higher than 5 stars! Such a wonderful experience. The pressure of the deep tissue was great. It felt like the first true full body massage I've had, where there was actual attention the legs and lower body too. My masseuse was respectful and thorough. The front desk was incredible kind and welcoming. Could not recommend this place enough. I feel like it's the west side's best kept secret!! read more

Amazing massage at a hard-to-beat price!!! Will 100% go back-- easy to make an appointment, space is clean and nice, and the massage was really great, with so many options read more

the best experience 1000/10 bill was fantastic you have to go! i did the 60 min massage to help with my muscles and soreness!

Best deal in Los Angeles! Great message for an even better price. Give it a shot. Less than a dollar per minute

such great value, 90 minutes couples massage for me and my husband we paid a total of $164 + tip. they really work hard to make your experience good one, hot stones, stretching, deep tissue massage. If you want someone strong, ask for Amy. read more

Amazing massages, the price was pretty good compared to other places around. The staff was also really nice, would definitely recommend

I am a regular at The Loop, I have never been disappointed with a massage there. I recommend the 90 minute massage because it takes the brain 10 to 20 minutes to shut down and truly relaxed. Anna is my favorite massage therapist, with Bill coming in a close second. This staff is wonderful and welcoming. It is my friends and my favorite place to go together after a long week. I can't recommend it enough, and the prices are fantastic. read more

I get massages weekly and have tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt but am repeatedly disappointed. This place is ridiculously loud!!! Between the street noise because they keep the front door open, to the loudly piecing restaurant piano music they have playing (not the tranquility you expect from a "spa") to the construction happening directly through the wall. I was awoken 2x by drills and could hear pipes banging for the rest. When I told the front desk they should warn people before they go in- because it was the least relaxing massage ever- she just said she couldn't hear it. Of course she couldn't, but I could hear the video on her phone playing as I was laying there. No effort to amend the situation or offer a discount. They've lost a repeat customer. The masseuses are great on most occasions- however, why give an option to book a deep tissue vs. Swedish massage when the massage is going to be the same. I went in requesting deep tissue and it definitely wasn't that. Was it relaxing? Yes. Is it what I requested/paid for/booked? No. There are many places up and down ocean park to get a massage- I suggest going to one of those instead if you would like a proper relaxing time. read more
