So Relax

Waited downstairs 20 min no one showed up went upstairs asked for 15 min massage told them I was on lunch gave me a 20 min rub charged me and had the nerve to point I the tip sign!

I had a 15 minute massage and it was amazing! It hurts at first but the you are very relax. I went back the next day for a full body massage and it was the best massage I’ve ever had. It is painful but totally worth it!!!

Pretty sure this place is closed. Walked all over the mall and could not find it. Phone number no longer works

My office manager paid to have 2 dudes come in and give 5 min massages to anyone in the office interested. At first, most of us were like, ‘ummmm???’ and then I decided I would be silly to turn it down. SO STOKED I gave it a shot. I feel great. The pressure was a bit much at times, but I just hoped it didnt leave me injured and I powered through. Towards the end, he cracked my back… So loud. So wonderful.
I always see these guys at Horton Plaza giving massages and trying to get peeps to hop in the chair.
The only thing not ‘so relax’ing is when they talk to each other during the massage. But whatever. Prices are good, massage is great… I plan to bring my boyfriend down to Horton to try em out soon.

I went to so relax at horton plaza out of desperation because my neck and shoulders were killing me. I asked him to focus on my upper back and neck, and to stay away from my knee because I just had surgery. Not a single person in the place spoke a word of English so he rubbed my legs and butt and did focus on my neck and shoulders. The pressure was overwhelming but I endured it and made my way through it. I didn’t enjoy a single moment of the experience, but now several hours later I actually do feel a little bit better hence the two stars. I would not return or recommend this place to anybody based on my experience. My wife went along with me and she enjoyed hers. My wife said she would recommend them and give them five stars based on her experience. I have paid a little bit more and had a completely enjoyable experience at many other massage establishments with better results.

he tortured me for 1\2 hour, I told him it hurt, he said no pain, no gain and continued his assault on my shoulders, I actually had to pay him for this Piss poor massage, beware of this place!

I am sure this will be flagged but avoid this place with all powers of your being. The staff smoke right outside their store creating an unhealthy and smelly environment. Why would I want any sort of massage from a smoker. It was bad enough to walk out of the parking garage unto his cloud of acrid smoke.

Great value for the money! You really can’t beat a $ 13 massage. The double locations are a bit confusing as I found an unattended chair stand with signs at the foot of Horton Plaza, while the actual location with employees was Nordstrom, but nonetheless good experience and great value.

I must disagree with the last review but I also don’t know what service he recieved. I’ve had two foot massages from here and have thoroughly enjoyed both. The first I did a 30 min combo which is 15 min feet and 15 min on a massage chair. Today I got a 60 min foot massage and it was great!

This place is good for the money spent.
For $ 13 you get a pretty decent chair massage. I pointed out exactly where my problem area was (between my shoulder blades) and she worked me, a good kind of pain that I know is going deep and getting rid of my soreness and stiffness.
Yes, the doors are open and you are going to hear mall traffic but this massage was good enough that I was able to clear my mind and tune all that nonsense out. This is an especially good spot if you work downtown and need a quick fix or break from working on the computer all day.

So Relax should be called So Effective, because they do the job quick, precisely and your pain goes away immediately. The Chinese acupressure and massage therapists here know what they are doing. This is not your usual Envy massage type of place, there are no smelly candles, no scented oils and not too much privacy. But you can get a 10 intense, deep and, yes, painful sometimes, massage for $ 13. That lady masseuse is incredible, she is very strong, so you will have to indicate the level of intensity you desire. Located in Horton Plaza, very convenient in between shop and shop.

I was just looking up this place on the Internet to check their hours because I’m in the area and I noticed a horrible review so I felt compelled to speak up and tell everyone how GREAT this place is! I’ve been several times before and it never disappoints. No, it’s not a spa or anything even close, but if your feet are tired, or your back is aching, there is not a better massage for the money. The people who work here appear to be traditional Chinese and they are trained in classic Chinese pressure point and reflexology. Some people might find such style as painful, but I view it as authentic and therapeutic. I LOVE THIS PLACE — go check it out for yourself and enjoy!

Don’t mistake this for the type of massage you would get at a traditional spa. Those tend to offer more Swedish types of massages which focus on long smooth strokes and are geared toward relaxing you. The massage you will get here would be better described as more «deep tissue.» There is lots of kneading, a lot of pressure used and some aspects of it can actually be painful. I was very sore after getting a 30 minute massage here, but I have to say that the next day, my muscles did feel a lot looser and some of the knots were completely gone.
I am the type of person that prefers Swedish massage so I won’t be back again because this isn’t what they offer. However if you’re looking for something that «hurts in a good way» and will really work out some of the tougher kinks or knots this is good for what it is. You won’t feel great right after but the next day you will likely notice a pretty big difference.

Barely adequate for the price. Should probably be named No Relax for starters. Do NOT come here if looking for relaxation. You are in one big room listening to the sounds of the mall, some crappy Asian music and the masseuse yelling at the other employees in a foreign language during your massage. I pretty much needed full body attention for my sore muscles… she worked out a few kinks but I would not pay money to return here. Felt very amateur – lots of thumb circles & elbows crunching over my ribs. Painful in an abrupt, uncomfortable way, not a «yeah that’s a good hurt» kind of way. Also extremely cold in there & she did not seem to notice my icicle limbs (or maybe just didn’t care). So I suppose I’m better off than I was before my massage but wouldn’t recommend to others.

Worst. Massage. Ever.
I usually get a massage from the truly *excellent* spa down the street. I don’t know why on Earth I decided to try them!
First, after the guy kept giving «FREE SAMPLE!» as soon as I got on a table and closed my eyes, he immediately fled and was replaced by some scuzzy chick. She smelled like raw fish! Even being laid on my back, I could tell that her breath — and hands — reeked of raw fish.
To add injury to insult, The Raw Fish Lady delivered the most painful massage of all time; nothing like the «FREE SAMPLE.» At one point she literally grabbed portions of skin from my back and clawed in with her fingernails; her head massage consisted of scratching my scalp with her long, terrifyingly dirty fish-​scented nails.
When the massage was over, I noted that it had been an entire 10 minutes shorter than the 30 minutes I initially asked for. Good riddance, I thought — until they tried to charge me for the entire 30 minutes! Their way of making of up for this void consisted of screaming angrily and belittling me — all while butchering the English language — for the remaining 10 minutes until I reluctantly paid so they would shut up.
I have never paid someone to shut up in my entire life. Them shutting up was the only relaxing part of the massage, although as of this writing, my body feels quite battered, bruised and potentially broken in many areas, and I still vaguely smell of raw fish. Am also hoping I did not catch rabies, but will have to get back to you on that one.
