    Clothes burn from massage.
    Marbella H.

    I been going here for years (on and off) but since the pandemic, I completely stopped going. However, I been feeling horrible pain on my shoulders and decided I needed a deep tissue chair massage. On a chair massage you do not remove your clothes. However, your skin shouldn't be burnt like this. I did feel it burning but I never thought it was this bad. I just mentioned to him that he was massaging a bit to hard, so he switch sides. I left and then I started feeling some weird painful burning sensation on my back after like 20 minutes. I touched my back when I was driving and it felt kinda moist. When I got home I asked my mother to look at my back and that's when she told me I had a burn mark on my back. I will not be going back to this place and I do not recommend any else going either. This business has been running for years, they are not new at this. They should know how to do a chair massage without having this issue.

    Vigorous massage is a great deal and I've always had a good experience. My mom and I go together and get the combination massages. They are only $30 for 90 minutes and they work your feet and back really well. We love Sherry, the owner. You start out with your feet in a warm tub - super relaxing. I highly recommend as they are always accommodating. Walk-ins are welcomed as well as appointments.

    Best place in town. Cheri and Jon always listen to what pain issues you are having and focus on them. Great pricing too.

    Jon works on my neck arthritis and fibromyalgia which requires an extremely hard shiatsu to be effective.

    In my opinion best massage location in Bakersfield and I've been to quite a few, there's only one…read moreother that can compare however the massage therapist here are very friendly and ask what is bothering you and focus mostly on that to allow you the best experience. The gentleman at the front desk is running that place better than most people I've seen run a massage therapy business. He even takes text messages up into a certain part of the evening after the business is closed to try to fit you in and knows what his opens are within 5 to 10 minutes of you texting them. I would love to gate keep this place to myself but I know that they don't need my endorsement for the great things that happen here. Though I won't gate keep the location I will gate keep my therapist (for now) However if I know you personally message me and I'll tell you who she is.. Overall the only place I'll be going to in 2026 unless something changes.

    All of the massage therapists here are pretty good. Today, I had Shelly and she was amazing. She…read moreknew the pressure points that need to be focused on. I was truly relaxed and relieved from my discomforts. The place is clean, quiet, and on time. They also offered a good promotion that benefits individuals that get services frequently. Their prices are fairly affordable, especially for the work they do.

I'm not sure if she understood me or not because of the language barrier -- so if you have past injuries or specifications for your massage, I wouldn't recommend this place due to lack of communication and language. Luckily I didn't so I just told her I needed a deep tissue massage hoping she understood. To start, the table had a thin sheet I laid out to cover myself with. Usually places have another thicker sheet/blanket but oh well! I told myself it didn't matter. I'm pretty conservative mind you, so when she started whipping the sheet around and exposing me without consideration and bending my knees while exposing between my legs, I felt uncomfortable and couldn't relax the entire time. At one point, my entire back side was completely exposed and the sheet wasn't covering me. I was extremely uncomfortable with that. When I flipped over for her to do my front side, she accidentally exposed my breast. Again, I felt extremely uncomfortable even though she said "oops, sorry!" As for the massage itself, it felt unorganized and all over the place. Usually therapist will slow their way into it and work their way around. This lady was all over the places and wasn't smooth. I felt like her thumbs were poking me all over instead of doing a deep tissue. Some parts felt great, don't get me wrong, but she rubbed my triceps so hard with her thumbs I was bruised the next day. When I flipped over to have my front side done, she never worked on my traps, front shoulders, or chest. She spent all her time on my legs (which I couldn't care less about compared to my back, traps, and shoulders). Last thing, when I went to pay at the end of it, she was hovering over me to see if I was going to tip (I'm assuming). Normally people don't hover over you while you're tipping, it's awkward and kinda rude. Overall, I won't be going back. Maybe this is just a bad experience for me. Idk but most massage places are considerate while exposing only the necessary body part and being methodical with the massage.
