My sister who lives in Texas wanted to get me something special for my birthday. She researched and found this place. I finally got to check them out on Mother's Day! Upon arriving, I was greeted by two wonderful employees. I checked in and went to swing on the swings outside until I was called back. My amazing masseuse Sam took care of me and really made sure that she took the knots out of my problem areas. If you want a massage for a decent price, this is it! You get top notch service at a fraction of what they charge at the Langham etc. My husband already signed up for membership read more

The massage was excellent the ambiance was very comforting. My technician, Rose, was professionally exemplary. I highly recommend Now Massage. read more

I had the pleasure of checking this place out as a birthday gift from my friend. I was so happy to be able to get this experience as I loved my massage. My therapists' name was Rose and she was amazing. This was my first massage postpartum and it was everything I needed. The facility is clean and beautiful. Definitely has the "aesthetic" vibes. They also have free parking while you're there, but be sure to ask them in advance where the parking is as it could get confusing. Overall, great place for a massage. read more

I had such an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The massage was exactly what I needed -- professional, calming, and incredibly relieving for my tension and stress. You can truly tell they care about their clients and take their time to make sure you're comfortable. I left feeling refreshed, lighter, and so much better overall. Highly recommend to anyone needing some self-care and relaxation as a pregnant woman. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This was a surprise birthday gift from my friend. I liked the ambiance and everything looked so uppar. The problem came with the time. My friend paid for 50 mins and it isn't cheap. But we barely got 30-35 max. What happened to the full 50 mins of massage? I would love to come back but the time that they took off...on top of that we tipped. Please give the customers what they pay for. If there is a timing or scheduling error-tell the people. read more

Went for my first massage at The NOW tonight. My masseuse was Rebecca. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was the BEST massage I've ever had by far. An amazing experience. Can't wait to be back next month. Feel so much physical and emotional lightness after. read more

My wife and I went to TheNow in Pasadena for the past few years. The massage therapists there are excellent and we really enjoyed our time there. It is unfortunate that we had to move and we would have continued our service had we not. We are really grateful for Brian and Susana and their expertise. We have taken friends and family to this location and everyone has given it excellent reviews. We wanted to say thank you to them as we are no longer there. If you're looking for massage therapists that are excellent at their jobs TheNow in Pasadena is the place to go! read more

The Now Massage Pasadena is absolutely amazing! Amazing massage Therapists and great customer service. I've been a member here for more than 2 years, definitely highly recommend it. read more

Been needing some relaxing and TLC so my sister and I wanted to check out The NOW. Two deep tissue massages for 80 minutes totaled $370 after tips. Quite pricey in my opinion but overall a good experience. Parking is convenient in a parking garage. The parking structure is shared with an apartment complex and there is a 2 hour parking validation which is a big plus! Parking can be so annoying in Pasadena lol. Upon entering the lobby, it was a nice clean area that smelled of soothing candles/essential oils. The people who checked us in warmly greeted us and gave us water while we waited for our masseuse. When the time came for our massage, I let my masseuse (I forgot her name but she was super nice!) know of any aches and pains I was feeling. My massuese assured me she would check in on the pressure and to let her know of any specific areas I would want her to massage. Before entering the main massage room, she let me know that we have to whisper and be mindful of the other clients getting massages. The main room was a dimly lit room with curtains to separate everyone. There was a very soothing and relaxing audio of ocean waves that made the massage so much more enjoyable. The massage was overall very enjoyable and the ambiance made it all the more relaxing. My massage started a little behind schedule so my massuese was kind enough to extend our session together. The only downside I would say is the price of the service. I felt like the total of $185 per person for a 80 minute massage was quite steep. Not sure if I would come back again, it was a nice one time experience. read more

The Now is my most favorite place in the world. The aesthetic is modern, minimal and inviting. Every staff member is pleasant and professional. I'm treated as royalty when visiting and upon returning. I hope they never go out of business. I've booked with a number of therapist and each was able to attend to my needs and desires. I hope they more locations read more

Long overdue review. I've been coming for years and was so happy that The Now Pasadena opened up after loving the Silverlake location. Absolutely love how convenient it is to book and how they usually have availability last minute. I am not picky about my masseuse and it's mostly because every single one I've had has been solid. The front desk is always friendly and helpful. The space is relaxing, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. There are plenty of spots to relax pre and post massage. The price point is great. Love the flavored water they provide. I often buy gift cards because they make a fab gift. 10/10. Favorite place for a massage in LA. Highly recommend read more

the massage quality is hit or miss, really depends on the masseuse. the biggest gripe i have is the fact that the front desk always seems to be training someone. i can rarely check out seamlessly, it's always slowed down by explanations or corrections happening in real time. i understand the need to train new staff, but it consistently affects the efficiency of the checkout process and makes what should be a quick interaction feel unnecessarily long. not something i want to deal with at the end of a calming experience. i've had a membership for years but recently cancelled due to many reasons, one of them being the customer service experience. Update - i am indeed at the pasadena location on walnut street and have been going to that location for years. i don't know what type of information you were able to review, but i do not appreciate being gaslit like this. happy to hop on the phone if management would like to DM me for my contact info. read more

I like the subscription plan, because it reminds me to take some time for 'me' once a month. Alberto gives the best massages. He is skillful and very healing. read more

I've had services at various massage boutiques and spas (ranging from $-$$$$) and hands down the best experience I've had to date is with Johnathan at The NOW Pasadena. I booked a last minute appointment for a 25 minute session. At first I was worried a shorter session wouldn't be enough time for a quality massage but OMG Johnathan proved me wrong. Johnathan was incredibly thorough with check-ins throughout my service to ensure the pressure was adequate while also reminding me to *breathe*. (Clearly, I was due for a massage.) Above all, his technique felt very intuitive. If you haven't been to The NOW I definitely recommend booking with Johnathan for your first session! You won't be disappointed :) read more

I work for the humane society and we have been working nonstop for the wildfire relief - this business kindly offered our team members a free 25 min. massages. The space is warm and clean. The front staff was kind and welcoming. Before entering the massage my masseuse asked me where I needed to be massage. When entering the place it felt like I was transported to Thailand. Big room with closed off smaller rooms. The sound of waves and warm light gave a great vibe. My massage was wonderful ( too short) LOL it was great! And I appreciate this company offering this to me and my team highly recommend this company! read more

The Now is an overall, positive vibes only experience. A serene and tranquil space distant from the noise of downtown Pasadena. The staff is welcoming, pleasant and courteous. The ambiance is exactly what I anticipated. Quite frankly, the website pictures don't do this place justice. I was greeted with a smile and immediately offered cucumber, water. I walked in rushed because the traffic was bad but luckily 50 minutes later; nothing mattered. It's my second time visiting The Now and I've become a member. Did I mention they validate your parking? They validate your parking! And it's literally next door to them. A fan since day one and a loyal fan I've become. Want to forget about your worries for a moment? You must visit The Now, like yesterday! Best wishes..... read more

I brought my friend for a massage for her birthday and it was not my first time that's why I wanted to bring my friend I have been at the silver lake location before, but it was my first time in Pasadena. I booked the 50mins massage but when we got in the room I read the time and it was 12:02pm and when the massage ended I looked at the clock and it was 12:40pm. We both did not get the full 50mins and the place is not cheap. Won't be coming back read more

Michael was amazing! He focused on the areas that needed a lot of work and was able to provide a full body massage to end the week relaxed and refreshed. He was very attentive to my needs and had amazing positive energy that made me feel so welcome and taken care of! read more

My wife and I have been using their services for a few years now. My masseuse is expert in finding my "issues" and addressing them. The 80' session seems to be a perfect amount of time for her to get it all covered. Nice aesthetic e perfect as well. Happy cooperative understanding front office folks, too. read more

This was my first time at the Pasadena location (have been to the CDM location before) and my sister and I had a great time. It's located just slightly off the beaten path of old town Pasadena so it can be a little hard to find. I love how simple it is to book everything for yourself and a guest online, including all the add-ons. Everything is easy and transparent as far as pricing goes (although it is somewhat expensive but we were splurging a bit). I went with the Now 50 with hot stone and my sister went with the Now 50 deep tissue with scalp renewal add on. When we arrived, our massage therapists talked with each of us for a few minutes about our needs, preference, and any areas of concern. I felt like they really cared about making the experience personalized. Once they finished, they walked us into the treatment room. Everyone is essentially in one big, dark room with these big canvas sheets separating us for privacy. It's actually much nicer than it sounds and for the most part, I was unbothered by the surroundings because the soothing ocean waves drowned everything out. It's really quite a relaxing experience. Iliana took her time to really work out the knot in my shoulder that had been giving me pain, using the hot stone for targeted pressure. I felt so much relief when we finished I felt like I was in a bit of a dream state. My only recommendation is that they install a water fill up station! It's important to hydrate after a massage and the tiny single-use cups just didn't cut it and are so wasteful. read more

Mercy did a wonderful job of checking in before the massage to determine which areas to focus on, and during to adjust pressure as needed. Her presence was very calming and soothing. The environment was also very peaceful and inviting. read more

As soonest you walk in you feel already relax, the check in process easy , the staff super friendly. The massage therapist amazing!!!

Just went today and had Lauren as my therapist! OMG! Lauren has only been there 2 weeks and is Amazing! She is very nice, friendly and an excellent listener! Asked her to concentrate on my head, neck and shoulders plus my upper back! Fortunately my legs and arms are ok! I could tell Lauren has lots of experience because she touched and massaged points of my head that no other therapist has known to do! Usually, they just slightly massage the parts I requested and move on to the rest of the body. Lauren worked my back, each side of the head; behind my ears and temples! She is Awesome! I have had many massages and this is the 4th one at the Now since I can only come when I'm visiting my daughters! Please request Lauren and get a massage from her! You'll be so happy and content! This is the best one ever! Saw and told Ko, the GM, and finally met Sarah, the business owner, how great Lauren is! And they should do whatever to keep her happy and working for them! read more

My husband and I always come here and we have enjoyed all of the massage therapists we've been paired with-- especially Mikey and Johnathan. They both have such calm/healing energy and know their stuff. I am a personal trainer and I always refer my clients here as well and they love it. I also love their membership option bc it helps us to take better care of ourselves and it's such a great deal. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was dreamy! Jonathan had me totally blissed out after a 50 minute healing/deep tissue massage. An epic way to start my holiday season. My only regret was not booking for longer! read more

Edited: the manager responded and called me back and i appreciate it and will call when I get off work to fix the issue. I will say I actually posted this at about 9:10 am, not 6 in the morning- just for the sake of clarity. Anyway, appreciate the good customer service Website booking system only: I wish I could say I could review the massage but the website and app won't even let me book a massage as it just says unknown error when creating an account and they aren't in the office to answer their phone and won't be open by the time I'd need to be there for said massage. Frustrating! read more

I've been going to The Now and everyone has been really great....from the receptionist to my therapist. But my last visit was exceptionally relaxing. Val, my therapist helped me to be more comfortable because of my condition. She made sure that the pillow that she provided helped me. The pressure point from the different parts of my body that I told her concentrate on was perfect. Can't wait to go back on my next appointment. read more

Just had another massage from Michael G. Just as amazing as last time! He is truly outstanding.

Michael is an incredible masseuse. Had the best experience today and will be returning soon. Seriously amazing! Thank you Michael.

I have not gone back for a while. But this time, it was painful, I told her to lessen the pressure, but she kept pushing more. I told her no need for my neck but she kept doing that area, to the point she was pushing my neck down right and left. Then when it was done, she just gave me a very hot towel and told me to wipe it myself if needed, then she left. The towel was very hot that I try to use it. My appointment was at 11.45pm today under Judy. Maybe I try again next time with a different therapist. read more

Had the 80 min deep tissue massage with Val (who wisely suggested adding the calming hemp balm for my sore muscles) and this easily ranks as THE BEST massage I've had here since becoming a member well over a year ago. Val used the perfect pressure and modality to knead the knots and tension away and I didn't want it to end! I want to gate keep her but that wouldn't be fair to you read more

Arlene is amazing! I have been coming here for almost a year and every time, I look forward to our sessions. She is so consistent and caring and really takes her time to pinpoint exact pressure areas. She's very knowledgeable about the muscle groups and always gives great recommendations post massage. When I visit Arlene, I know I'm in good hands- literally! ‍ read more

I had put getting a massage on the back burner after losing my home in the Altadena fire. I came to see Val informing her I needed some work on my neck and shoulders where I keep all my stress. She gave me the best massage I have ever had!! Val focused on those areas and I also requested the Herbal Heat Therapy which she incorporated into my massage. I had a 80 minute session and didn't want it to end!! read more

Wow!! Can I give 10 stars??? Rachel was absolutely amazing. She gave me the massage I needed today. My hips and lower back are a constant pain I carry and she took such great detailed time to work it out thoroughly. I literally am not feeling and pain in my hips and lower back. Rachel has wonderful relaxing flow even though I requested a firmer deeper massage. Her technique and attention to my concerns really reflected in my session today. My neck and upper back are also areas I carry major stress and pain and both of them feel pushed out as well. Like I said 10 stars!!! I just woke up from a really amazing nap to top it off. read more

Asia was amazing!. She hit all my focus points with precision and care. She was so sweet and ensured I had a relaxing time.

Been coming here for a few months now and honestly it's one of the best places to get a massage! The ambience they create through the lighting, the ocean wave noise, to the smell, it is incredibly relaxing and takes you to another planet. I've been going to Samantha W and she is the best! She is really attentive to what's sore in my body and really gets the knots out! Love it! read more

The NOW as a whole is a great value and service. Since I found Jaime at this location his is my go to therapist! He has an amazing understanding of the body and his technique is A1 read more

I can't remember the last time I took time for myself. The massage was relaxing and Susana was awesome! See you next time

I treated my partner to a massage at The Now for his birthday, and it was a total letdown. The front desk lady was super rude and rushed me in before I could even say hi to him. It was his first time there so he was running behind looking for the parking lot. She was literally burning holes in my head while I was on the phone with him telling him direction. During the massage, my masseuse wouldn't stop whispering to me, which was really uncomfortable and unprofessional. When it was time to pay, I asked for an itemized receipt since I used a gift card. Instead of just showing it to me, the front desk lady acted like I was asking for something outrageous. She was so dismissive, asking, "Is there a problem?? Do you have a question??" Honestly, I'd recommend going somewhere else. This place is way overpriced for its low level of service and inconsistent massages. I recommend Reboot in Eagle Rock. read more

The NOW is a beautiful space from their bathrooms to their waiting room. Each of the massage rooms have ocean sounds playing and are separated by a cloth wall (?) instead of a drywall so you can hear noises/conversations from your neighbors. They also have a parking garage with free parking as well. I got a 50 minute swedish massage (The Now) and my husband got the energy balancing massage (The Healer). The massages were relaxing and got our knots out but we weren't fans of their techniques where they use really slow movements. My masseuse Soshi had to go a bit deeper to get my knots out and focused on my problem area (neck/shoulder) so she barely worked on my arms/legs. She did a great job in 50 minutes since I came in really tight with sore muscles from my intense workouts a few days before. read more
