A disappointing massage. Payed $89 dollars for a deep tissue but instead got a lazy massage. It sucks that I spent that much for the type of service I received.

They are supposed to be open but I went for a walk in and the store was closed. Very disappointed.

I had a 90 min massage yesterday. The place was very nice- clean and the people were very kind and helpful. However, unfortunately I don’t think my masseuse knew what he was doing. The massage was not good. I’m not sure if he was brand new but I am in so much pain today. My back hurts so bad. I can barely walk without pain. Massage was very awkward and too harsh- lots of digging and uncomfortable pulling— it was not relaxing at all, and when he was stretching me, he didn’t take any consideration into how stiff my body was, and he forced the stretches despite my discomfort and my lower back is just an absolute fire today. I am in do much pain :( My husband had a massage too and his was lovely— he is a little sore too but it’s not awful. So it really depends on Who you get— just be careful!

I was in town for a few days and discovered Happy Head while exploring the city. Best discovery. The Head and feet massage put me to sleep for an hour and then again when I returned to my hotel room. I went again for another Head massage and added the neck and back. I definitely recommend Happy Head for your massage needs.

Do not waste your time this place is garbage. Walked out halfway during my massage they did not offer to refund me in anyway. Please save your money and go elsewhere

Whenever I stop in San Diego, HHFR is a must. Being a bit sore when I came in, HHFR left me feeling loosened up all over!

I was visiting town and decided to get a massage. I found Happy Heads and had a great experience. The staff was welcoming, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I got a strong therapist, which was perfect for the deep massage I like. Definitely recommend!

Love massages and get them once a week. Visiting from Austin and had 2 hrs to kill. Stopped in an seemed reputable. Decide on 1.5hr massage. Was partnered with Neal. They survey areas that were sensitive and what kind of massage I was needing. I explain all the pressure points that I was looking for. Neil comes in and immediately starts going heavy utilizing the poles to walk on my back which was fine until the pressure was a bit heavy which my comment to correct as far as what I was looking for. Continue it again soft and then immediately back to heavy and deep. I stopped again to ask more swedish massage then deep tissue. He acknowledged. Continued again to the point where he was pressing on nerves and I sat up at that point and told him I need him to go softer. Started slow within 5 minutes back to doing the same thing again and at that point I sat up and said I was done. Receptionist Apologize and called her owner regarding how to handle. They felt the best solution was to charge for 30 minutes even though I was only in their 20 minutes. Not really the resolution I was expecting. Just passing through definitely would not return and for those looking to explore perhaps consider an alternative.
