Reflexology Massage near Burlingame

“I've been coming to Project Zen for over a year. I've received massages and reflexology from a number of different practitioners. Most recently, Rowena has been one of my favorites! I leave with a sense of renewal and am so grateful for the ability to use my ClassPass membership here!“

“I've been to dozens of different reflexology / chinese type massage places over the last 20 years, but Avee 9 is clearly the best place by a LOT.

Now it should be understood that I like a massage that some would consider way too hard. I want the mass of the titanic with the anger of a teenager thrust into my back with explosive force. This is obviously not for everyone.

Jennifer and Yoyo ( I am probably spelling them incorrectly ) are soooooo good at what they do. Both of them can do a walk on back technique without a towel covering that allows them to dig their heels into my lower back while sliding them forward while using oil. It's incredible.

When they switch to their hands you can feel them hunting for knots, discovering issues and working them out. If they do happen to miss something just ask. They are happy to help.

There are many common issues I see with some other Chinese reflexology places. Those issues include uneven massaging ( ex: rubbing the right shoulder blade for 4 minutes then skipping the left ), extremely light pressure, no knowledge of proper pressure points, using too much oil, loud bickering in chinese between co-workers, unstable when using walk on back technique and falling into a memorized routine without paying attention to the clients body.

Sometimes you get a place that avoids 90% of these problems and that's a damn good massage. Avee 9 avoids all the problems and does the BEST job.

The ONLY issues that I have with this place are the noise & parking. It's not particularly quiet and the two parking spots in the back can be full via locals in the neighborhood. To me it's still worth it. I work hard physical jobs that worsen my sciatica and need a massage to get me back to work. A little noise and parking at petco is no big deal. Additionally, It's quite small so there is no room for a shower which is a bummer but that's not a deal breaker.

I moved from Redwood City to South San Francisco recently and tried a local place for convenience and WOW it was truly AWFUL in comparison. I am done trying different places. I know I will never find a place as good as Avee 9.

Is it a fancy spa with bamboo signage, facials and a sauna? Not at all. But if you need Thor's hammer thrust in your back at speed this is the place to go.

Calling ahead is always the best option and tip WELL. I always do and they take phenomenal care of me. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Had 90 mnts to pass by while getting tires on car. They took me in on a walk in. I had a masseuse named Lucy. She's was absolutely amazing and the business was clean and comfortable. Thankyou.“

“I had to write a review because this place was a hidden gem. I had a car accident and so my back has layers upon layers of knots. It’s very difficult for anyone even a 6 foot Swedish man to really get in there. No one ever really gives me a deep tissue that penetrates enough. If you have back problems, I highly recommend Mina. If you can handle someone walking in your back then that’s a plus with her as well.“

“Credentials: I’m a second generation massage therapist who grew up in this industry helping my family run multiple shops. I’ve helped train many of our massage therapists by providing feedback on touch and technique. I’ve also trained with many different therapists from around the US and Thailand. Blahblahblah been doing this for a long time.

What I need is good bodywork and I need it often or my arms will fall off. Mei has the touch and knowledge that comes with time and an intuition that’s hard to teach. Their prices are more than fair, if not generous, and this allows me to come often. I get the pain management massage for 90 minutes and I have her do only focus work. Anatomy is complicated, but she always knows where to go.

I’ve gotten many massages, from no frills to high end. This shop is no frills — I prefer it and let me tell you why: All I want is good body work, I have frills at home. You pay a whole lot extra for frills. Some of the best massages I’ve ever had were in no frills shops. We had therapists who also worked for [a very popular luxury spa] that charged more than double (and their pay was the same) Would you rather pay double for the same massage?

Mei does everything herself and she works hard. She’s friendly, attentive, and helpful every time I come. I don’t speak Cantonese and can communicate with her fine. She could use a better system for phones/appointments, but I don’t mind it. The noises are pretty minimal and don’t bother me, but I’d bring earplugs or earbuds if it did, your own music is always better anyway. For the price and quality of work, she can honestly bring in a mariachi band and I’ll still be chillin.“

“Cheryl is a veteran of the business and it shows. I had an excellent full body massage that loosened numerous tight areas around my back and lower neck. It was one of the most relaxing experiences I've had in a while and I highly recommend Cheryl's services to anyone who's booking a self care weekend in half moon bay.“

“From the moment I walked in, the vibe was calm, clean, and welcoming. The booking process was effortless, the therapist, Colleen was incredibly professional, and the whole session felt customized just for me, not a generic “one-size-fits-all” massage.

I’ve had lots of massages before, but this was on another level. The pressure was perfect (exactly where I needed it), the techniques were thoughtfully tailored, and I could feel the skill in every movement. It wasn’t just relaxing, it was transformative. I left feeling looser, lighter, and noticeably better in my body, like the tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying had been gently unraveled.

What really sets Colleen apart is the care and attention to detail. Shes intuitive and truly knows how to work with your needs while still making you feel completely comfortable. I felt cared for from start to finish, and the results lasted well beyond the session.

If you’re looking for a massage therapist who is talented, skilled, and genuinely excellent book an appointment with Colleen.“

“I am so glad I went here after my flight last night! Outstanding massage!!! I pampered myself with the 90min combo. The massage exceeded all expectations. Very professional, outstanding masseuse, and only $95 for 90 minutes. Four Seasons is a hidden gem for sure.“

“If you're like me and need really strong precise deep tissue leg massages and shoulder work, highly recommend this place, they close really early though. Overall the most amazing bodywork I've had for the price!“

“My favorite massage parlor so far on the bay. Great prices, STRONG hands and clean. Generally quite busy so recommend calling ahead. Love this spot!“

“If you are looking for a really great massage at a good price then I highly recommend coming here! You will not regret it. You will feel like a new person, best massage ever!“

“I had Rira, and it was incredible. Nearly a spiritual experience. I have also had other masseuses here. This is probably my ninth or 10th time. Somehow it seems to get even better every time I go. This is a big duel and a little town, bring your tension and stress here, leave balanced“

“This place has a variety options. Different option for everybody. Make sure to make an appointment. Good vibes“

“Five stars to Leah for one of the best facials ever. Really nice location, super friendly ladies and great service. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent massages of different types. Therapists are very kind and skilled. Booking is easy via their website.“

“Excellent experience. Very knowledgeable and skilled practitioner, relaxing ambiance.“

“Experienced and knowledgeable massage therapists who use the Chinese deep tissue style. Rooms were clean and soothing with low lighting and spa music. Not only did my masseuse end with a hot stone treatment (totally unexpected!) but she also added a hot towel rubdown and head massage. I'm considering getting the package of 20 sessions, but they have a new sister branch in San Mateo I'm going to check out.“

“The spa is clean, comfortable, and professionally run, making it easy to relax and unwind.

A special thank you to Ludy for his professionalism and skill. He is friendly, attentive, and genuinely focused on his clients’ comfort. He quickly identified areas of tension and applied the right amount of pressure to provide effective relief.

I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and slept exceptionally well that night. Ludy’s expertise and dedication to his work are evident, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality and professional massage experience.“

“This was my first visit to Ananya and I requested “Lilly”. You should too! She was incredible. Small but mighty! If you’re someone who likes lots of pressure she can deliver. I opted for the 90 minute Thai massage. I’ve had many massages both here and in Thailand, and I must say I think this was the best massage I’ve ever had in my life. Lilly was extremely skilled, talented, strong, professional, and sweet. She can continually checked in on me to make sure I was comfortable, and that the pressure was adequate. The atmosphere was very relaxing, warm, clean, and quiet. I highly recommend Ananya and Lilly.“

“My wife and I go in to Izumi at least once a month. They are great! Most recently we both saw Laura! My wife is 8 months pregnant and she said it was one of the best prenatal massages she has ever had! I have chronic lower back pain and im not sure what kind of magic she did but I feel so much better. Thanks Izumi and team. You guys are amazing!“

“Pretty expensive but it was good massage. Beds weren’t next to each other but in same area. Must be priced high because of area. $152 for 60 minute Swedish couples massage with credit card. Includes $2 credit card fee and $15 mandatory tip per person.“

“Had a massage on christmas eve from Cici she made it a comfortable experience a job well done 5 star! steve, mountain bike“
