I decided on Monday that I wanted to come for a massage on Friday. I had not been here in years. They have expanded the place, but it was so easy to get a massage booked. I was able to upgrade to deep tissue for one hour at an affordable rate. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The massage therapist was knowledgeable and pretty thorough. I will definitely come back again. read more

Zen Massage & Chiropractic - Focus Massage - Massage Therapy Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Such a good local business with friendly and helpful staff and a quaint environment. The location is definitely unique - set in an older home - the vibe is more eclectic than fancy but I think that's part of its charm. The prices are the best I've seen for good quality service, and the masseuse made sure to check in on me throughout my experience since he understood this was my first deep tissue massage. I've been here a couple of times now and will continue to come back! read more

When you first arrive at Zen Massage, don't be surprised--it literally looks like someone's house! But trust me, head to the back to park, walk inside, and get ready to be blown away. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, offering amenities as they check you in, which already sets the tone for a relaxing experience. Once your appointment starts, your masseuse will come downstairs to escort you to their room. I had Beth, and she was absolutely amazing! As someone who runs and bikes 15-20 miles a day, I desperately needed a 90-minute Swedish massage--and it was worth every single penny. I also added aromatherapy and left a $20 gratuity, totaling $120, and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. I'm pretty sure the whole house heard me snoring, but that just proves how deeply relaxed I was. My body melted under Beth's expert hands, and I'm 100% coming back. Part of me wants to gatekeep this place, but honestly, if you need a massage, this is the spot! They offer a wide range of services to fit anyone's needs. read more

Zen Massage & Chiropractic - Massage Therapy Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I needed a massage and couldn't get an appointment for my birthday at my usual spot so I decided to give this spot a try. I have read mixed reviews and wanted to see for myself. I was impressed by the ease of scheduling online and the pricing for a TWO hour hot stone massage! This spot is located in two houses in Dilworth. Note: parking is tricky and a bit tight. I drive decent-sized SUV and was concerned about the tight parking spaces. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and did not wait long for my massage therapist. I was escorted to the neighboring house where my massage would take place. If you're expecting a high-end luxury spa feel, you will be disappointed. It's a more historic, down-home feeling. My masseuse was great. I felt very relaxed and even dozed off several times despite trying not to do so. Overall, it was a great massage but I just wish the accommodations had been a bit better. There was an "old" smell In my clothes when I left, the same smell I noticed on the sheets. After a massage, I'm accustomed to being offered a bottle of water given the activation of my lymphatic system but didn't get that. If you just want a "good massage" without the ambiance, this could be your spot. read more

My experience at the Zen massage was amazing! My masseuse Sue did such a great job (I booked Swedish massage), she also answered my questions about the knots in my shoulders and neck, and I left feeling so relaxed! The office is very cozy and cute, the smell is very nice (essential oils) and everything was really clean and home-like. The staff is very friendly and nice as well. I'll be back! read more

Love the massages here. I've been a client for about 15 yrs. Today was the my first visit with Chiro, Dr Mike. The best adjustment I've ever had!! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Zen for more than five years and my regular massage therapist, Michelle, has seen me through pregnancy, weight gain, weight loss and different forms of training. She is attentive, effective and I always feel rejuvenated when I leave. In addition to creating a relaxing ambiance, having a great energy every visit and offering exceptional massage services, Michelle also has a talent in providing great facials to add to skin care routines. I will continue to go to Zen Massage. read more

I had a very bad experience 10/10/25 with Zen massage. I had a 1 hour deep tissue massage scheduled for 4pm. I received a call around noon that the massage therapist would be running late and I needed to come at 4:30pm if I wanted to keep session. Options were come later or cancel massage. I agreed to the 4:30pm session: I arrived at 4:15pm and checked In . The massage therapist didn't come and get me to take me back until 4:33pm. Late again. The actual massage was the WORST massage I have ever had. I have had many over the years and I am a sports medicine. Practitioner- so I know what a therapeutic session should feel like: she concluded the session at 5:20pm- almost 20 mins short of the 60 minute session I signed up and paid for. I voiced my discontent to worker at front desk, paid and left. The only response was.... " I'm sorry". Very unprofessional experience overall. read more

Zen is such a special place and I've been having g massages here for the past 3 years. i had a massage this week with Olivia who is a magician!!! She is so knowledgeable and has amazing techniques and to top it off is so kind! if you are suffering with back or neck pain Olivia is your lady!! read more

I wouldn't recommend the massages however the chiropractic adjustments are phenomenal

Mell was amazing, I feel so loose and such relief after my visit with her. I've been coming here for years and she's one of the stand outs for me! Highly recommend coming here along with a visit to Dr. Mike after your massage. read more

Highly suggest trying Massage Envy or another local massage place first. Long story short, i was going here for a while going to Evan and had good service. I went in again, had a bad experience and I left an authentic constructive review for zen on google. A YEAR LATER, I decided to give it another shot. The owner called me and said my name was "flagged" in the system and that I couldn't come in for a service. Instead of trying to provide a positive new experience, he literally told me I had to DELETE my negative review on google. What a way to run a small business...into the ground. If you can't handle one constructive review, you should not be running a small business. Read reviews, learn from them, improve, and your star rating will increase. read more

Have been coming here for years and I've never had a bad experience. Their prices are so affordable for what you're getting. Today, I had Paco as my massage therapist and he hands down gave me one of the top 4 best massages I've ever had. He was very informative about why certain areas of my back/ shoulders hurt and where that pain typically comes from and etc. I've had great experiences with every other massage therapist I've seen here, but hands down if you book an appointment..book with Paco read more

Love, love, love this place! I was searching for a good massage and chiropractor, and I'm proud to say I found it. I got a one-hour massage and an adjustment, and the prices, staff, and overall experience were amazing--so much so that I went back the following week for a repeat visit. Many thanks to Dr. Mike, Carolyn, and the staff! read more

Update- after expressing my concerns and dissatisfaction, the owner called and offered a free massage visit due to the review and complaint. While I appreciate the effort, this offer would be more valid and sincere before a negative review or complaint with the attendant at the spa. I had been cancelled on 3 separate occasions within hours of my appointment time. I stand by my original statement, "I would be charged $35 if I cancel working 24 hours of my appointment." 2 separate day of cancellations and a schedule mix up is very disappointing. I am charged a $35 cancellation fee if I do not cancel within 24 hours but am offered nothing when it happens to me. Also the bathroom has roaches as seen in the last visit I had. Unfortunately I will be finding another massage company. I love my therapist here at Zen, but the lack of customer service and compensation for me when things go awry is unacceptable. read more

Best prices for massage in Charlotte. You have to call to make an appointment (no online appointment scheduling) and if you want to request a female therapist you have to schedule ahead. I've been here twice and they are always on time. The massage rooms are comfortable. Tip: get on the mailing list so you are notified of the sales/special pricing read more

3/5 update. So I just called to book a massage to give this place another try. Instead of reaching out to me about my previous review they decided to not let me come get a massage there again. Seems like instead of dealing with the issues they have in a professional manner they just run from the Situation. So if you have any bad experiences in the place make sure you don't leave an honest review or they won't allow you back. I will ensure I let everyone I possible can know that this place should be avoided. read more

The massage I had was good but I was not aware that the therapist was going to use cupping. I do not believe in that nor like it. This being done while I was face down, without my authorization and I had huge blood bruises and massive skin discoloration all up and down my back. I got home and it looked like I had been beaten. This should be illegal and is a pseudoscience with no proven health benefits. I would have never agreed to this prior to this being done. I will not ever go back to zen. read more

I don't know what just happened, but that wasn't a good massage. A lot of conversation, but not a good massage. A lot of rubbing softly, but never an increase in pressure as I requested from the lady. We discussed me being a marathon runner, which she complimented. Still, no increase in pressure. This was one encounter where I felt cheated out of both the service, and gratuity. Zen has always been above reproach, but they fell short with this experience. read more

I meant to update this review after my last visit to Zen. The manager contacted me to come in and try another massage. This massage was much better and lasted the full time! My husband and I booked a couples massage like we normally do. We were brought in 5 minutes late and the massage ended 8 minutes early. That is almost 15 minutes of massage time I missed. The past couple of times I've been I noticed the 50 minute massage was actually more like 45 or 40, but the last time it was more obvious. My therapist reeked of cigarette smoke making it really hard for me to relax. I haven't been back since this time even though they have sent tons of coupons and offers. read more

I had the most amazing massage today by Mell!! (booked last minute, love the new online booking feature). I had quite a lot of pain on my left hip and shoulders and she was very thorough with these spots and. I feel like she is very passionate about her work with how detail oriented she was. read more

My therapist greeted me and said " we are going to be in the driveway today. I mean literally the driveway. They assigned me to this room and it's cold and smelly and the energy here is bad". We arrived to the room and it was literally a closet. It was cold, no lighting on and it smelled like mildew. She apologized and allowed me to cancel the appt. There was no offer to move massage to another room or therapist etc. Discussed this with management and they apologized. I've been here twice and never had this happen. My therapist cancelled her appointments for the rest of the day and left before I did. I wonder if she didn't want to work. Update. Manager stopped by and spoke with me while I was waiting for my son to complete his massage and he offered me a credit towards my next massage and free aromatherapy. I'll be back. Great service recovery read more

Had a great deep tissue massage with Mell on Friday. She worked out knots I didn't even know i had! Highly recommend her. I feel so much better read more

terrible massage didnt get the fulltime and i was grateful for it. the masseuse did not know what he was doing i felt awkard the entire session. his hands just stay on my neck and he did not address any of my knots. in fact i left more stressed than ever. Heres an analogy for you i felt like a dead fish in a net waiting to leave read more

I was feeling so extremely sore. I was in need of a great massage. I received a thorough massage. She was sooo good. I believe her name was Lindsay. I will be back to receive a massage from her. read more

Well this was my first massage ever so I have nothing to compare it with. But, I can say everything from the online appointment to the massage itself was professional and easy. I was at easy the whole time and hate that I wasted so many years being apprehensive about getting a massage. I got the deep tissue because my back was very tight and sore. I never experienced pain and was asked a few times about pressure level. I will definitely make this a once a month habit and will definitely be back at Zen Massage read more

I've been coming to Zen for random massages for around 3 years now and I have always been pleased overall. However , today I had the pleasure of getting worked on by Mell and it was simply amazing. Her energy is excellent and she takes pride in her work. She educated me on stretches to improve some of the problem areas she discovered and walked me through my first "hot stone" experience. The massage was amazing and the perfect representation of what I requested as far as service and pressure level. I 100% recommend Zen and I 1000000% recommend you request Mell - I will be doing so each time I book. read more

I had an incredible massage today at Zen! I was able to book online and chose a 2 hour massage. My therapist, Michael was outstanding. He used the perfect amount of pressure and got deep into my knots and problem areas. He also did some stretches that really helped me. I would highly recommend requesting him. The check in/out area is not super relaxing as it was pretty full when I arrived with people waiting for chiropractic adjustments. I would definitely return here and would request Michael! read more

Always professional had a massage by multiple staff and never had a bad one and then u can get a chiropractic adjustment right after I go to place in Charlotte read more

I HIGHLY recommend Mell. I don't know how to explain the level of care I received but it was far beyond my expectations. I went in unaware of how impactful a Swedish massage was compared to my regular deep tissue but Mell quickly pulled my achy body together plus more. She talked me through my concerns / questions with patience and attentiveness. She deserves all my pay stubs honey! Don't forget to bring cash to tip-- our service industry people deserve more than what they're paid :) read more

I had the best massage of my life yesterday from Mell at Zen! She was so kind and knowledgeable and was able to get all of my knots out! I live in Pa and was in town for a birthday but I will drive back down just to get a massage again from her! read more

Mell provided a great deep tissue massage! Highly recommend seeking her out. I will likely be back this week for another massage from Mell. Thank you! read more

I am writing a review of your establishment & the Karen behavior I endured after being a customer for 5+ yrs. We both know I have video footage of this incident so good luck trying to lie about what you did. I have never had an issue at Zen until now. 2 months ago, you cancelled while I was on my way. No apology/reschedule. I had taken PTO &finally found an ideal therapist. I tried several times to reschedule, but was told they wouldn't know her availability until the Thurs before each wkend. Each time I called, they told me she was full. I asked to be on a wait list (never added)& speak to a manager (never called). This went on for 1.5 months, to the point she stopped booking wkends. I decide to take off again on a weekday. When I called, the woman took my info but when we were ready to confirm, she randomly put me on hold & disappeared forever. The phone cuts back in, they put me on hold again, then hung up &stop answering. I stopped by the next day & a lanky blonde woman was at the front desk. I told tell her what's been going & asked to speak to a mgr. She told me no mgr was there but that she would take my info & dismissed me. I told her that I wasn't okay with that resolution anymore, & wanted to know why I was being mistreated. I asked if she could pull up my acct to see if there was a reason that I was unaware of & immediately her disposition changed. She responded to me saying she was going to call the cops &that I was making her uncomfortable. Then Karen proceeded to leave me in the lobby alone to go behind the drape and tell someone that she didn't feel safe.I was SO confused. She told me to leave & threatened me numerous times when all I was doing was asking why I was having so much trouble rescheduling.It is 2024 so we ALL should know by now that it is UNACCEPTABLE to arbitrarily threaten the police on people of color. I am a professional and a mother. I video taped her to protect myself.I continued to ask her calmly to please help me understand what I did & why am I being threatened when all I did was ask a ? as a patron of 5 yrs. Karen told me to leave HER establishment-- but yet in the beginning she told me no mgr was around. So turns out she was the owner, treating patrons this way! Each time another customer (all white women) came in, she treated them with the utmost respect, giggling and cordial but for some reason I was making her uncomfortable? She could never tell me what I did. At some point she looked over top of my head and asked the woman in back of me if she needed help. I was invincible. It was the most disgusting, degrading thing that has ever happened to me. Eventually there were 5 women there who all were being helped, so I asked all of them did anyone else feel I made them uncomfortable? No one could say a word because I had graciously let them all in front of me to avoid this Karen holding up their appts with her nonsense. One of them said she was sorry I had to go through this but said "maybe it's not a good fit." Even though her intent wasn't malicious, it ignorantly suggests I don't belong. Divinely, I ended up seeing the therapist I had been asking for who gave me a hug w/tears streaming down my face &apologized for what I went through. THREE police arrived 1 hr later. They didn't bother taking my name because Karen was absurd. I asked them to please find out WHY she called them and WHY I couldn't book an appt. She LIED saying I've spoken inappropriately to her therapists.How considering I don't want convo during my massages. I was told I am never allowed back. If I had done such a thing, then why am I receiving a hug from my last therapist & another offering to book me that day in front of you? these 1 star reviews show how this owner behaves- cancelling on long standing customers & lying on them when you complain. I flew to high ground on u because u are NOT more important than my life. Today though, u will learn a lesson about the disrespect u showed me, & I hope u fold as a result. I will gladly take my $ elsewhere & reported u to the BBB for discrimination/defamation. Cheers! read more

I just had a wonderful massage from Mell at Zen Massage on East Blvd. I highly recommend her!

****SAME DAY SCHEDULING**** Zen Massage was everything I expected for such a reasonable price. I had the deep tissue massage & Reagan made the massage a very informative session. He explained the benefits of every technique used from head to toe. Pro: You won't leave out super oily Con: You can't choose your own essential oil to personalize your massage read more

I was very hesitant but I needed a new massage therapist. All of the other places required monthly memberships which I didn't want. Joe was my therapist and he is amazing. I go every other week now. Prices are reasonable. read more

Just came in today for a much needed massage, my body had been so tense from sitting so much at my office job, and without knowing, I originally requested for a Swedish massage. But as I was getting my massage, my massage therapist Mell noticed how tense I was and suggested I get a deep tissue massage instead, so I did, and what a difference! She was so wonderful, she relaxed me so much that I dozed off a few times. I'm looking forward to my next massage with her, I highly recommend her! read more

This was the best massage of my life until it ended 20 minutes early- I got there early and she started late and ended early. I told the front desk I didn't get the full 90 minutes I booked, and she didn't seem to care at all and said she would tell management. So I paid over $100 for a little over an hour massage. The lobby was packed when I checked out as well- this place is overbooking clients and screwing people out of money. I would have made this my regular place if they simply fixed the situation and charged me for what I received. I will never be back. read more

If could rate 0 would! Masseuse started massage and 5 minutes in said said wasn't feeling well and left the room. Understandable but it was the customer service after that was horrible. No discount for literally driving that way, no offer to have another masseuse, literally nothing other than I left and called another spa to finish my massage. Will not be retuning and absolutely do no recommend due to customer service. Such a disappointing experience as I was very much needing a massage as I travel for work constantly and today was the only day I could. Go somewhere else! read more
