About A1 Oriental Foot Massage
A1 Oriental Foot Massage is a unique spot in Aspen known for its strong foot massages that provide both pain and relief. The space is simple and may not meet expectations for a high-end area, and the staff's limited English can make communication challenging. Despite this, many visitors have enjoyed their experience, especially after a long day of activities, finding the staff friendly and the service effective. However, some customers have reported issues with tipping practices, noting pressure for cash tips and unexpected charges. Overall, A1 Oriental Foot Massage offers a bare-bones but impactful massage experience, suitable for those seeking relief despite some concerns.
BEWARE!!! Massage was pretty good, however…..like mentioned below many times, they try to force a large tip. I’m all for tipping good, but don’t want to feel taken advantage of. We were quoted $80 over the phone and when checking out were told it was $90. Looked past that, left a tip, was told it wasn’t enough and that there was a mandatory $30 tip pp. if you’re going, bring exact change.
Its true, these guys massage HARD and you sometimes needs to ask/demand gentler. I once had one of them tell me "no pain, no gain" and I was so stunned I just let him keep hurting me. But on the plus side, a lady there recently provided major relief and improvement on a compressed disc/ pinched nerve issue I've been struggling with for years so I am grateful, mystified and like usual, will probably end up going back. And yes, they rudely ask for MORE tip even if you're dissatisfied or tipping standard. Overall, kind of a weird experience for Aspen but I seem to still go back.
This place is pretty good with regards to foot massages and offers pretty good value for your money but most of the workers are not very friendly. Probably because of language barriers, since everyone here is Chinese
