Angel Massage

Hmmmm…. As someone who’s had over 600 professional massages, I can confidently say the massage therapist’s technique and pressure are pretty decent here but the drawbacks are in the finishing touches with low quality sheets & tables and a sketchy location.

The good: a VERY thorough and quality massage, deep tissue actually means deep tissue here, there are no reservations needed (always someone who can take walk ins it seems), it’s very inexpensive for the quality of the massage, they don’t make you fill out any forms or ask you any questions at all about your body (which could be good or bad), and it’s decently quiet inside the building.

The bad: super sketchy looking place both inside & out (makes you wonder what you’ll catch from the sheets), the table was rickety and had a low dip in the middle making it hard to lay flat comfortably, the sheets and towels are very scratchy and rough on the skin, and depending on your personal tastes the massage itself can become quite uncomfortable because when they give you a butt massage they GIVE you a butt massage.

The weird: be prepared to bare all as you are greeted by your mystery masseuse after being ushered into a small dark room by the receptionist who politely tells you to remove all your clothes and lay face down on the table. Well then! Don’t mind if I do…. The massage is pretty standard and they don’t pay any particular attention to your own individual needs which is fine by me since I’m completely average. The uncomfortable bits are the butt massage when they frog leg your legs apart to massage the calf & you’re suddenly and unceremoniously de-robed “down there”. The same thing happens on the front when they lift your legs in the air. So you can’t be shy at this place. You get the impression that the masseuse doesn’t mind your nether regions. Her hands are just as comfortable on your back or forehead as in between your toes and buttocks (& I do mean “between”) She’s probably seen & touched more of people’s bodies than most doctors. Another thing they do with the pressure point therapy is spend a lot of time with your toes, which is great if you like foot massages, but can be a tad uncomfortable for those who are sensitive or get ticklish.

They also will leave once or twice during the massage without saying anything. That means they’re going to get a hot towel. This was awkward for me as I wasn’t sure if the massage was over or not at first. Oh, and they absolutely don’t honor the 60 or 90 minutes thing. It’s Always Always shorter by at least 5 minutes but for the price who cares, for what she just did to my butt she earned it.

Overall it’s a great massage if you are ok with getting butt naked and getting your tush & piggly wigglies worked on by a complete stranger in a dimly lit room near the strip club

This is the worst massage place ever. I got my massage from a lady who called herself ‘Anna’. She was very aggressive in terms of pre-tipping and cut the massage short on the pretext of being busy . Worst customer exp. ever. I had to tip her just so I could get out of the place without being harmed! Such Asian parlors have bought bad image to genuine asian massage places. The girl was no where near who can be called as a trained practitioner and pretended to not know English when she did not want to hear a feedback. Further, the place stunk of restroom smell. It is worth staying away from this place and spend your money else-where

Anjou massage was not in the best of places, as there’s a sketchy appearing ?strip bar next door. Nonetheless parking was plentiful immediately in front of the store.

We had called ahead of time to schedule an appointment as we were using a Groupon deal (we ended up paying $30 for a 60 minute massage – a great value). Upon arrival, check-in was seamless and we were brought back immediately. The room was dimly lit with two massage tables covered in white linens. The room was a chilly, which made getting undressed a little rough.

The massage itself overall was great – just the right amount of pressure. The masseuse kept checking in to make sure she was getting it right. However, there were a few awkward/uncomfortable moments. Particularly when massaging my back and upper butt, the sheet was pulled all the way down so nearly all of my butt was exposed. She also did some odd flipping of my ear cartilage which was not pleasant. I would suggest that in the full body massage, they start off by asking if there was one particular area I wanted them to focus on. This may make the massage more customer-centric. At the end of the massage, we were given a small cup of water. Overall, the value was great, but the awkward moments were too much for me and my friends.

I was a little weary since this place is right next to Cheetah’s but it was great! 4 stars for a couple reasons:

– located right next to the Bullpen (pub) so it’s very loud. You can hear thumping/bass during your massage.
– my masseuse answered her phone several times and walked out, leaving me unattended for a couple minutes.
– $2 charge for using a CC (which I hate). They do have an ATM on-site but I think the fee is higher. So bring cash!

But overall, the massage was cheap! $20 for foot massage w/ $10 tip. And my masseuse was VERY strong which I liked.

I really like the environment which is new and clean. Also, the aromatherapy body massage was truly good. I enjoyed my experience in there

Only gave a 4 star because of the way my lady folded the sheet when massaging my butt and legs. Not much privacy.

Amy was so sweet and caring and gave a great massage. It was a bit difficult to communicate with her because Chinese seemed to be her first language. But she tried so hard to make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

When she did my legs and back she folded the sheet up over my butt and legs, instead of just uncovering one at a time. I was highly exposed and it didn’t bother me too much because I had a nice rapport with Amy, but if you like your privacy, you definitely would not have liked that

I’ve gotten massages at expensive spas before, but was not impressed with the massages. I realized that you’re just paying for the nice ambiance…at least here the girls are very strong and give me the pressure I need. I get massages to relieve my back pain and they take care of that here!

I am a taxi driver. My lower back is always bother me while i am driving. I saw ground opening massage and decided to give it a try. 90 mins full body massage only $60. It was the best massage that i ever had. Peggy applied the right pressure to my back, after massage i felt like a new born baby. This place is new and clean. Music relaxed me and almost put me into sleep. I tipped peggy $25, she deserved that. Thank you anjou massage! I am your regular clients now.

I love my massage. Peggy was great. The massage was relaxing and well worth the price. The receptionist told me that if someone comes before 1 PM, it is $10 off. I usually go to happy foot on convoy. I am now going to come here. Great location

Best massage that I ever have! I have been coming to this massage for a year now. I love Amy, she is strong and nice. Even though she doesn’t speak good English, but she always know what I need for my body! Come to this massage shop people !

I have been going to this place for massage for almost a year now. Always a great massage. I have a herniated disk and my back gets very tense so it’s noce to have relief!

The lady here do good massage and professional.they got spacious room and comfortable massage bad here, make me really relax. I will definitely come back

I walked in and was immediately assisted. I didn’t have a reservation and I thought that might be problematic on a Saturday afternoon but it wasn’t! I had Kim for a one hour combo of body massage and foot reflexology! Very relaxing indeed, even though the shop is located on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. and next to a strip club! I felt price was reasonable and I enjoyed the services provided. I’ll definitely return!

I highly recommend this place. Very peaceful, clean and quiet. My boyfriend made got the massage he wanted. He enjoying the massage is amazing experience. He had terrible in neck . But just one time. My boyfriend did studying and working out all the issues in his back. He can regular working again and he feel great. I will be try next time.
