I went yesterday with my mom and had the crappiest experience. She said she had a great massage but…read moreI did not. The guy that I got barely massaged just pushed and put pressure. I got the combo with oil barely got oil massaged and everything was over the towel. We had private rooms and at one point he opened the curtain and left it open for the rest of the time. Mind you im in there in just a towel. People are walking by and I can see them. He covered my eyes but I can see the light and hear everything. Then when we get to the counter to pay we give each of our people $10 tip and he was RUDE. Scoffed and pointed at the paper as to give him more. This was a treat for me and my mom that was all I had. $10 each is more than 10% for $60 massages. Tips are recommended not required. It was very ungrateful. Extremely disappointed because the last time I had an amazing experience.

I'm so excited to share this review! I tried a Thai massage for the first time! Wow, what an…read moreexperience. I did what they call the Thai Combo and added the CBD oil. I was a bit nervous but I was determined to do it. The thought of someone walking on your back is intimidating. However, it didn't feel as weighty as I'd expected. I'm sure it helped that my tech was petite. This feels like a much more therapeutic experience than a traditional massage. By the time you're done, your muscles have been thoroughly stretched. It wasn't as relaxing as a traditional massage but I felt the benefits of it a lot more. It was also very intuitive. I highly recommend coming here. Everyone was so nice and made me feel really comfortable. I loved the Thai music they played. Also, the space is very clean. It's just a 15 minute walk down The Promenade from the Hyatt Regency here in Long Beach.

I had pretty much sworn off massage for years because of too many disappointing experiences and…read moreinconsistent service. Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding. The work is consistently skilled, intentional, and truly therapeutic. This isn't a "fluffy" massage that leaves you wondering what you paid for; it's thoughtful bodywork that actually helps. I've referred so many people to Firm Hands at this point that I honestly can't help myself--I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Whether you're looking for real therapeutic support or intentional self-care, this place delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend.

Jonathan CURED my cervical radiculopathy with sport massage. I was in severe pain for months (and…read moremild pain for years), was on nerve medication, going to physical therapy and getting acupuncture. NOTHING gave me relief like the massage I received at Firm Hands. He is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do.

Now I'm trying to convince my fiancé who hates massages to go.

We came here on a weekend afternoon. The prices were very good, about $50 for an hour massage or…read more$30 for a half-hour massage. The 3 of us opted for a half-hour massage and the tip guideline posted was between $5-$15 for a half-hour massage, which was reasonable. The therapists were knowledgeable -- they used hot stones and pressure points and also some deep tissue techniques. However, my sister said she pointed to her elbow to get massages and the therapist didn't seem to understand that. Overall everyone enjoyed their massages and we thought it was a professional and clean environment. The rooms are divided by curtains. I would recommend this place and would come back next time I'm in town. They charge $2 to use a credit card and you can tip on the card as well, just hope that the tip goes to staff (i thought it was a little odd that the staff didn't walk us out so it wouldn't have been a little tough to tip them).

Nice little massage joint in Long Beach. Been comin here for 10+ years now and have had consistent…read moreservice across the board. Always know what I'm going to get for my money. Also appreciate how the prices remain constant over the years (think they've only gone up $10 or so for a full body in last 10 years). I typically get the full body 60 minute massage and it never disappoints. Always leave feeling refreshed and happy with the money well spent. Make sure to request a female and if you are going with your spouse/partner, request separate rooms as the combined room can get a little cramped for my liking. The guy that runs the joint is pretty consistent too, always literally saying the same exact sentences whenever we call to book the appt, arrive at the appt, or approach the massage room (my wife and I love when he says "everything, take off". lol). I think it's pretty standard at these types of massage joints, but expect to tip at minimum $20 for a 60 min massage, otherwise they will give you the death eye and you'll be super uncomfortable, so to not get that feeling right after a long, distressful and relaxing massage, just be prepared to fork up the extra $10 in advance before paying and it will be all good vibez. In the end, you're paying $70 for an hour long full body massage with hot stones & oil, which is still a killer deal. And the masseuses do such a great job every single time I've gone, I don't think I've had a bad experience yet (except when my wife got the main dude at the front as her masseuse she didn't really dig that, one because he was a male, two because his keys jingle-jangle the entire 60 minutes, and three he still plays the front desk role and will answer both calls and people entering mid massage, which is such lame and also super weird. Anyway, like I said, request a female and you won't have to deal with any of that!). Whelp yelp, feel like I gave all future customers the skinny on the joint and how to have the best massage possible with little to no issues. So take it or leave it, I think this place deserves 5 stars in my book.

It is a no frills massage parlor that…read morekeeps the prices low by not having all the fancy decor, furniture, and other miscellaneous items that other massage places have; all that fancy stuff makes you pay double the price than what you would pay here. I try to come at least once a month just to recuperate and it doesn't break the bank. All of the massages come with hot stones at no extra charge which is a nice touch. I enjoy doing the super combo massage, but they are all great packages. All the ladies are great! The gentleman in the front speaks good English and always answers the phone. I will say that it's not a quiet massage place, and it's not the most private, but those don't matter to me as I'm just trying to heal. I tune the noise out, but I totally understand if that's not for everyone. Lots of parking in the private lot. I've been here many random times (weekday, weeknight, weekend) and there is always people getting a massage or calling in for a massage, so I highly recommend making an appointment as walk ins are not guaranteed.

Massage methods included acupressure over a thin sheet to warm-up the muscles, and then a combination of acupressure and Swedish methods using oil to work on the muscles. Primarily, only my upper/middle/lower back, glutes, and hamstrings were worked on for the majority of the massage time. There was noticeably limited time committed to working on my neck/shoulders/upper and lower arms/hands/quadriceps/feet, which all needed the work, too, given that it was supposed to be a "body" massage. Generally, approximately 30 to 60 seconds of time and "light" massage only was committed to each of these other body areas. Cleanliness. The massage room floor looked dirty and could've used a good scrubbing/sanitizing, especially since I was barefoot on it. While lying on my back, my head was resting on a decorative pillow like that found on a sofa, but it didn't have a proper sanitary cover, so it's implied that other customer's heads had previously been resting there too. I had a scratchy, ragged and torn, threadbare washcloth placed as a covering over my face while I was lying face-up on my back. I have no idea what the washcloth covering was for, but it wasn't comfortable or soothing for my face.

I had a 90-minute full body massage with hot stones and lavender essential oil, and Nancy did an amazing job focusing on all the tension points throughout my body. I walked in feeling extremely tense and stressed, and left feeling deeply relaxed and relieved. The atmosphere was calm, clean, and peaceful, and the hot stones combined with the lavender oil made the experience even more soothing. You can truly tell they care about helping you feel better and not just rushing through the appointment. I know I'll probably feel a little sore tomorrow from how much tension was released, but honestly it was worth every minute. My body feels lighter, calmer, and refreshed. Highly recommend asking for Nancy if you're looking for someone who really pays attention to your body's needs. Such a wonderful self-care experience and perfect Mother's Day treat.
