YoYo Healing Touch

I have been going to yo yo for over 1 year. Fair prices and decent massages. The turn over of the personnel is disappointing.
I have not had the same massage person for some time.
I continue to go because it is near me and pretty good.

Was looking for an affordable massage on the mainline and came across Yo Yo’s. They had open availability so I called and got an appointment for a couple of hours later.
Facility:
This is very much a no frills «spa» you can definitely hear slapping and phone conversations over the music they have playing. I was not able to completely relax but if you can drown out the noise to save $ 20 then go for it
The Massage:
The therapist didn’t speak much English and I tried to explain to her that it was my first time here and the type of massage I liked but she walked out of the room and I guess didn’t hear me. If she did then she didn’t understand me. The massage started off very relaxing and then it got strangely rough and painful. I mentally said «no pain no gain» but this stretched my comfort zone and I eventually yelled «ouch» and asked for less pressure. I thought ouch and squirming was the universal sign for being uncomfortable but she carried on. At one point during the massage she sat on my back and rocked her elbows and knees back and forth. It was weird and very unexpected.
The Price:
There is a 20% off discount between 10.30am-12.30pm. I didn’t go between that time and I paid for $ 40 for a 30 minute massage. Note that the massages aren’t separated by relaxation, deep tissue, Swedish etc. and they will not ask you what you want or discuss your trouble areas.
All in all would I go back? No. Am I still bruised? Yes. Would I recommend the spa to a friend? Probably not.
But to each his or her own, this was my experience and probably varies by masseuse.

The reason why I’m giving it 3 stars is because of the following:
My boyfriend and I love to get massages so we decided to check this place out. This is definitely something out of the normal spas. Each room is separated by thin walls and there aren’t any doors, instead curtains are being used so you hear everything. The staff is really nice and polite though.
What caught our eyes immediately was the 30% off on 1hr massages from 10am-​2pm.
— the first time I went there was amazing. I got a 30 min massage and it felt great! My masseuse was very good and even did great massaging techniques that really helped my body. So I purchased a gift card for 1 hr massage for $ 68. (Sounds like a good deal)
— It has been a month since I first went there and suddenly the prices have changed. On top of that, they eliminated their 30% off for early birds. Not only that, they didn’t even tell us about it and the gift card that I bought a month ago wasn’t even credited for. You would’ve thought that they would take that, especially knowing that it was bought before they changed their prices.
I looked at their website again and it still says $ 68/​hr. I feel that they should change that asap so other people won’t be surprised when they get there expecting something else. Also, their brochure still says $ 68 too. My boyfriend and I didn’t really want to argue, especially in the morning so we just let it go. But I thought for future reference, here is something everyone can read.

The massages here are very strong. I asked for medium pressure and had to tell the masseuse to apply a lighter touch. My upper back was in a lot of pain the next day. Perhaps, I am used to a spa with calming music, private rooms (not just curtains) and a discussion about troubled areas or preferences. My husband thought that it was great but he is a big guy and likes hard pressure. I will probably not return but my husband will. He liked the price and the pressure.

I go to yo yo weekly. A few other reviews detail the current 30% off specials midday. I found this no frills massage to be terrific. All of the girls are quite good with some having different expertise (reflexology, etc).
I do 60 – 90 minutes per week and while the massage can feel a bit expansive/​hard on muscles/​unique you will feel so great when you leave that should be your testament. If you are uncomfortable with all the stretching, regardless of language hand signals and head shakes work. I need it for stress!
I love my massages and after fancy spas and in home services would say YoYo meets/​beats those massages!!!

Fabulous. You feel like you are in another country when you walk in — amazing massage. Not a typical spa service — be prepared for cubicles and none of the frills –but just one of the hands-​down best massages ever. Therapists do not speak great English so be prepared.

I went for a 60 minute massage after the place being recommended to me by a friend. My masseuse was excellent in releasing toxins and really making sure to give me a deep tissue massage, however, I am a bit sensitive and prefer a softer touch and she unfortunately did not understand english when I was asking her to go softer. Although I was in a good amount of pain during my massage and was unable to fully relax and enjoy, once I got out I felt amazing. They really use great technique that cannot be found at most spa like places. I wish I had been able to communicate with my masseuse better during the massage, but overall a great experience. Be aware before going in this is a full body massage, they will have you flip over and do your front side, and although many find this uncomfortable, the release of toxins through this method is remarkable.

What a great find!
Very clean environment with a professional staff that is very attentive.
You get a private room and the price is right.
Don’t expect to get spa treatment like the four seasons but I definitely can see me coming here every two weeks.
The manager Chi is very friendly and can easily help translate with the Chinese staff.

Discovered this barebones message place that offered a 30% off promotion of 60 min deep tissue/​acupressure messages for $ 48. For $ 76, you get 90 minutes. You’re put in a medium sized walled cubicle. You undress, put the towel provided on the massage table and the Chinese lady will give you this outrageously good massage by going really deep in your muscles, step on your back, and stretch every part of your body.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Don’t expect this to be spa like at all. You can hear other people talking in the other cubicles even if there’s semi relaxing music playing. There’s no aromatherapy fluff, just no nonsense deep tissue massage. Definitely worth every penny. My husband has already gone back there twice and I also plan to make this a habit. They also have reflexology chairs.
