Healthy Life Foot Massage

Best massage ever! I go to a lot of massage place but hands down this one takes the cake. Big ups to coco and Ellen for adjusting my back!

Recently renovated. Semi private massage areas. 20/​hour and 10 tip. Jessica is the best I’ve had. Only complaint is when employees chat too much, especially in the back– but how can you blame them working here all day. Hot tea after is a plus. Usual spot and best value around!

I need a massage AT LEAST once a month. Even when I had monthly massages to MassageLuxe or Massage Envy, I would find myself coming here to Healthy Life Foot Massage in addition since it was so affordable. Prices have recently increased to $ 20/​hr + tip but they have undergone some remodeling to match their rates by add curtains and other accommodations to enhance your experience. The dim lit room with light instrumentals playing in the background make for good ambiance as long as the workers aren’t feeling too chatty.
There are plenty of massage beds here and plenty of workers, but they get pretty busy at night time. I recommend calling in ahead of time to secure a spot… especially if you would like to request for a gender specific masseuse.
They call it a «foot massage» but you basically get a full body massage. First they start you off soaking your foot while sitting up so they can work on your shoulders and neck. Then you lay down face up and they work on your head, face and neck area. If you would like them to skip out on anything, just ask. Next are the arms, wrists and hands. Then finally the get to your feet before they turn you over face down. If you’re a guy, they already had you topless but if you’re a girl, they will lift up your shirt and unhook your bra –for reals! They give a nice oil massage before applying a hot towel to clean it off. I must say I really like the massage oil they use here. It feels a lot better than the other foot massage places that use lotion.
This place is pretty solid. There has been good days and there has been terrible days, but the good outweigh the bad. I feel like it’s a better statistics than going to MassageEnvy for double to triple the price for the same chances. It really depends on which masseuse you get. When you find one you like, TIP BIG, and return to the same one. It’s a good investment :)
CASH ONLY — I have seen the owner hustle people to the liquor store in the corner for the ATM there… so save yourself from a big scene and a transaction charge, bring cash!

They raised their prices; from $ 15 to $ 20/​hr. The restrooms are still not that clean, the masseuses are the same but their décor is nicer; They added sheer white curtains for every 2 beds. I would have preferred cleaner or more restrooms instead of just one restroom and them taking the time to train the personnel on technique and customer service.
The lighting is brighter so removing your shirt or undergarment may be less comfortable.
For women, wear shorts and a strappy top. For men, shorts and tank top. Wear sandals or easy-​to-​remove shoes.

I came here for the first time yesterday cause I pulled something in my back between my shoulder blades. I had Tony, he was amazing! I really weird about having people touch me but I gave it a shot and it was so amazing! Now I’m gonna start coming all the time! Money well spent! Also $ 20 hr that’s more than fair tony does an amazing job! Make sure you tip! I did $ 15 tip!

They just renovated this place from $ 15 it’s now $ 20 so far massage was fine. But it’s required to give a $ 10 tip if you give $ 5 they will complain. Which is not good what if you don’t like the service, cause one time my husband doesn’t like the massage he gave $ 5 and the guy who massaged him complained. What kind of service is that! Not recommended!

I thought $ 20 is a good tip, the girl wanted $ 40 tip!

I would honestly say this place is needed to be shut down as how they «harass» customers for tipping «minimum» $ 10 dollars. I gave the girl 5 dollars tips as courtesy, and she demanded minimum 10 dollars. I told her straight up I ain’t giving her none if she keeps talking to me like that, tips is a gratitude toward your service, she quietly took it and mumbled and walked away. I would highly suggest any other places, but here. Please don’t.

Worst experience ever! I came in with my friend to get a massage, they were very unprofessional talking to each other while I was getting my massage, they pulled down my pants so half of my ass can show to everyone, and took off my bra… I felt so uncomfortable. Not only that but we didn’t tip because we didn’t have any cash so they chased us outside asking us for there tip. What kind of shit is that? They forcefully made us tip 11 dollars with our debit cards and didn’t even ask us the amount we wanted to tip. I will NEVER come back!!!

I go to massage 3 to 5 times a week. My friend say to come here & ask for Jim. He does good massage, but I had better. They charges $ 20 for 1 hour. I always tip $ 5, sometime if they are really good, I tip $ 10. But when I tip Jim $ 5, he say too little, I was surprised. He demanded more thinking I will give him more, I said no. He say something in Chinese loudly, so award. The room is very noisy, specially when the front desk announced via the microphone. Try LH foot massage in Catina Plaza. They charged only $ 15 like many others massage place. If you want your private & really quite room for $ 30 a person try Venus on Magnolia. There are many others clean & quite places. I will never return to this place.

I’ve been going to this place since they opened. Jimmy is a great masseur. He’s professional, consistency and most importantly he knows how to massage. Great service!!!

I like them but because I have been going here for four years. For newcomers beware, it will be a hit or miss. You need to call for an appointment and get the right masseuse or masseur for your needs. If it is lower back, light or hard (I am) you need to tell that to the receptionist, and they will say that to your therapist in Chinese. This way you get what you expect. once you got the right person, the following session you need to request your therapist. When my reg. therapist left, it took me four visits to find a good replacement. Goodluck but if at first they didn’t massage you the right way, ask who is right for your requirements. To avoid the miscommunication and disappointment at the first visit. Do not forget to tip well, the therapist talk to each other and know who is a good tipper, and they can refuse service.

When I do need a massage, this is my go to place. Mainly because its cheap, and for some reason I just really like the atmosphere here. Keep in mind that when getting a massage here, you’re in an open room with plenty of other strangers. Waiting time is around 5 to 10 mins, so its not too bad considering I don’t call in for an appointment.
I really came here to give a 5 stars to Luis though. I would imagine that being a massage therapist, you’d be very tired or sore after a couple of sessions. So I do give a lot of leniency if it seems like they’re hurrying the process or slack on a few spots here and there. However, this was not Luis! From start to finish, he hit every spot, and some that I didnt even know existed. Unlike some of the workers there, he doesnt take his time getting the towels or talk much which I really appreciated. He is a little more on the rougher side with the pressure, so I would ask him to be a little softer if you dont like it. I would totally recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone if you’re really sore or really in need of a good massage!

Will is the best! My fave place! Please tip well!

I went it to get a massage first timer to do it here in the U.S. My first time was Philippines. I went because $ 20 a manager at a beauty salon near my place recommended this place. I’m on a tight budget because I’m Criminal Justice student. I had muscle strain on my lower back pulled at the gym A-​Okay after few days of healing but still tightness in there.
The place is nice and clean but the happy life two foot massage place their curtains are see through. It’s supposed to be BLACK OUT curtains in between beds. They are Chinese people but can speak English that’s what the person recommended told me. Yes they speak English but not a lot the masseuse Liza don’t speak a lot of it. It’s so hard to communicate. I can’t give the review of how the service is on the massage.
I was somehow dissapointed because the communication I had with my masseuse. She only put oil on my legs, feet, whole back, shoulders. She didn’t massage my whole arms and my front body when It was done she ask for a tip. I gave her $ 2 tip she insist a $ 5 tip. I give a reasonable tip to those who I’m satisfied with their service. They shouldn’t force customers to give tip and ask for the amount. She didn’t do the job right. I simply told her put more pressure on my thighs, legs, feet, lower back & shoulders & massage my whole body. How come they charge me $ 21 using credit card? I called that place few times if they accept credit card but didn’t say extra $ 1 charge.
Would I go back? Yes but I’ll ask for a massage from a male. No, if I find a place that someone recommended it.
I think they should look at this Unilocal reviews to improve their place.
My review is you get what you pay for.

Ok. I think this place is either a hit or miss or it’s gradually getting worse.
So here’s why ²⁄₅ stars. Some of the younger staff need to be re-​evaluated. Maybe it’s a cultural thing? Forgive me in advance if I cause any offense. I am clearly speaking on my experience and while I am part Asian, not all countries in Asia are the same…
I have been here a total of 3 seperate occassions. The massages are excellent. The first time I came here, I treated a friend of mine and tipped each masseuse. I don’t know if there’s a seperate etiquette for a massage. But I figure ~20% of total would be ok?
The second time I came here was in a large party and once again I tipped accordingly and so did many of my friends. Now that I recall, there might’ve been some ruffled feathers from the staff but it was overshadowed by our party being so large.
My most recent visit was this past weekend and I treated a friend. I had handed my masseuse (an older gentleman), a bill and asked that he split the amount between him and the masseuse that tended to my friend. The older gentleman nodded and said thank you as I made my way out. My friend met me infront and so did his masseuse who kept saying «tip, tip.?» The lady in the front was very kind. I understand at this point that she didn’t want to upset anyone so she simply asked if I was pleased with the massages. I replied yes and that I had already given a tip to my masseuse to have split. To which the younger masseuse appeared appalled as he stood there with his hands on his waist shaking his head. At this point, the receptionist had to answer calls. I was confused and trying hard to understand what amount this guy was expecting to recieve, let alone that this was actually happening. He stood there staring at me and my friend and I with his arms folded and was obviously upset and refusing to give let up unless he got more of a tip.
Bottom line (cultural or not), you have to understand that a tip/​gratuity is a gift or money for services rendered. A customer is NEVER obligated to provide a tip. It is a socially acceptable gesture. But still not a requirement. If you don’t like your job or how much it currently pays, I suggest changing careers. Perhaps the tips in the restaurant business might be more rewarding? And that’s an honest suggestion. It’s also NEVER ACCEPTABLE to harass your clients under ANY circumstances.
Other than the tipping policy here, the massages are good, inexpensive and there are plenty of staff to decrease your waiting time. But with so many options in the area, I won’t be back as this place has unfortunately left me with a bad taste.
Enjoy~

One of the best spots in Orange county, I love massage as much as I love surfing lol, that place is one of comfort zone spots, ask for Jessica or Koko, those are the two girls usually do massage for me don’t know about the rest,
But Jessica the have a magical hands with an enough pressure to make you feel satisfied, she don’t speak much English but she ask me 3 to 4 times in the massage if the way she is massage is ok, usually they focus on the back but if you ask for any other areas they would do more massage on it,
Also I usually take a private room (totally private not just a curtain between the beds) for 30 $, the semi private is 20 $ and the normal is 15 $, the price is the best comparing to the professional spas,
Also you should leave tip 5 $ and up.

Dont know why this place gets such low reviews. Its a peaceful place and is clean.
I went in for a massage, decided to get a male. The masseus (Mike) was professional, even with a language barrier between us, great services are universal.
If a massaeus is breathing hard that means they actually try their very best to release the tension of your muscle soreness out. And thats what Mike did. When another person accidentally bump to my elbow, he actually cared enough to wipe my elbow in case if it got dirty (very big +1)
The massage was on point. From neck to toe, back to front. My only regret is only getting one hour instead of two!
My concern: the space in between one massage bed to another is very close, quite dangerous when masseus is carrying hot/​warm water and accidentally bumps into another person. And the noise is louder than other places since the employee room is very close to the massage room.
Other than that, nice place with affordable prices all over FV/​GG

I went in with my girlfriend expecting to get a foot massage. Instead, my feet were almost not touched at all. I’ve had traditional foot massages in Taiwan, and this was no foot massage. The guy massaging my girlfriend untied her dress without asking and made her feel very uncomfortable.
We were so disappointed that we left without tipping. However, one of the guys chased us down outside and said, «Seriously? You forgot to tip». I couldn’t believe it. Tips are not required in the U.S. It’s known as gratuity for a reason. Maybe we should start tipping everyone just for doing what they already get paid to do. Had the guy been more respectful, I probably wouldn’t have written this review.

This was my first Asian massage experience and it left an impression on my muscles! I’ve been training for a cross fit competition and I feel like the masseuse knew where I was aching/​tight and how much pressure to apply without me having to say a word. I had a male masseuse per my training partner’s request and he was very firm and I only cringed two times out of the two hour massage, but I figure, no pain, no gain. You could tell them if the pressure is too much, but I chose not too. We asked that they spend less time on the foot massage and more time on the full body. They obliged, but even with the 10 minute foot massage I was knocked out and snoring and so were others in the room. The price was $ 15 an hour and I did two hours and tipped ten bucks so $ 40. I’ve gone to spas and gotten massages at my chiropractor’s office and they weren’t as good as this place.
Tip: If you’re a girl make sure to wear a tank top. Also the massage is in an open room with 15 other people and the first part of the massage you’re sitting upright so you can’t take your top off per sé if you’re a girl.
