This isn’t your standard Glenn Ivy retreat. This is kneading knots from out of your soul, lol. I have so many knots and good golly. I leave feeling like a million bucks.
The location is really strange. Located in the Big Lots plaza shared with KFC. Stick to your GPS. I won’t give you directions. You’ll end up in Egypt.
Okay, upon entering. You’re kindly greeted. Asked what type of massage and service. Male or female masseuse. Pay for service. You can opt for the communal or the private. I did do private as I went with my daughter on my third visit. The therapy center is adorable, clean, comfortable beds, soft linens and plush towels. There is a basket to place your personal items.
I opt for reflexology and then have them torture my back and release toxins from my lymph nodes. It’s a beautiful torture. Good pain. It hurts so good. When it ends. You’re sad. I think his name is Kevin? I’ve had luck to get him five times. I’m terrible with names. My kid is lucky I remember hers. Sometimes.
They have been shutdown and are limited to what they can do and dude, I can’t wait to be ‘gingerly’ massaged and my soul to leave my body.
Tip accordingly and get their stamp card!

I Would give it 5 stars but the last time I went I got a guy and he’s a smoker! His hands smelled horrible and he paid way to much attention to my butt cheeks! It was supper uncomfortable and annoying! FYI if you want a private massage get the oil massage! That’s what my husband and I always get! All of the women are great just tell them what you want as far as pressure (don’t be shy).
Update: ask for Lee lee she’s the best

Massage, YES
Reflexology, NO
Friendly front desk and easy to communicate with.
Offers both men and women practitioners.
Treatment room appears quite with no noise coming from reception area however snoring can be heard from the customers around you =o) Typical room set up with “bed chairs” in open area, dim lights. I found they offer what feels like a massage however no reflexology as advertised.
Tip generous as they work hard and prices are cheap

I think this will be my go to place for Chinese torture massages (that’s how I describe these types of massage places). This isn’t your traditional massage place with scented candles and a private room. It’s a large communal room with raw onions along the wall. I have no idea why they keep onions. Maybe the onions are suppose to absorb toxins and evil spirits or something.
They use lot of pressure during the massage so don’t come here if you are used to relaxing massages at the spa. They really beat the crap out of you to get all the knots and toxins out of your body. It’s somewhat painful during the massage but I always feel better afterward. Price here is one of the best I’ve seen. For almost an hour of massage, it’s only $20 (before tip). There are several different massages you can choose from but the basic foot massage is the best deal. Even though it says foot massage, they still massage your whole body. If it’s your first time you may want to ask for mild to medium pressure. I asked for medium on my most recent visit but it was still somewhat painful around my neck and shoulder area.
It’s kind of hard to find this place because it’s located on the side of a plaza. It’s the only place that faces east while all other businesses face north. It’s in the same plaza as Big Lots and KFC. It’s easier to find if you enter from Edwards Road instead of Imperial Hwy.

Last night my usual place, who I’ve been going to for three-plus years, royally screwed up. I called for an appointment with my go-to and they tried to give me the switcheroo upon arrival, which I can’t stand on principle.
So I went to Ava because I went there a few years ago and liked the massage. I called ahead, around8 p.m. and they were able to fit me in for a $20 foot massage. The beds were so comfy, and the towels were soft; however I do think that the hole where you stick your face in is not so great. I had Kevin, who gave me the best massage I’ve had in a long time. I think I might be switching massage places!

Unfortunately I had a bad experience, I came out with more stress, she wAs supporting her body weight in my spine and she did not focus on any of the necessary muscles instead she put a lot of pressure on my lower back so I came out with spiinal and lower back pain

I can’t begin to describe this place. Amazing is one word. They are very reasonable with pricing and they can fit you in the same day! I have been coming here for almost 3 years on and off and this place has improved. It use to be one big room with beds and no curtains so you can see your neighbor. Now there are separate room for more privacy. I like this place when I need a deep massage after a long week at work or after a workout. Don’t come here for a relaxing massage. The masseuses here do an amazing massage and you can let them know if you want it softer. I get the full body massage for an hour and it is quite enough for me. Yes, I will be going home sore but I feel like a feather the next day. It is located on the left side of the plaza where Big Lotd is located, behind KFC.

Message was ok and I’m fine with that. I Don’t expect a Terrific amazing experience for $40.I’m reasonable I’d like to say.. But my issue was when tip time came, I offed a $5.00 tip the guy said may I suggest a $10 tip.. Ok not only did that surprise the hell out of me, I couldn’t understand him so he had to repeat it like 3 times. in front of other guest. Embarrassed me.Really your going to suggest I give a 25% tip. Obviously I’m not loaded with cash or I wouldn’t be getting a $40 message & not to mention my experience was not worthy of $10 tip. That’s a no no in my book .Id wonder if someone suggestion a tip amt on ok service what would he pay ?

Holy foot massage Batman! This place is awesome! It’s not in a chair, it’s on these short beds with ottoman’s (because they also do back and other massages) I only did the foot massage & I literally feel like I had a whole body massage. Definitely recommend!

Great massage, staff is friendly, building is a little run down, I’ve been there 3 different times each time had the 1 hour 10 minutes massage. Worth it!

Tried this place out after not being able to get in with my usual massage place and another nearby place. I called and they said they could take me in as soon as possible. I arrived in 5 mins and they immediately took me back.
Overall, the massage was amazing. I walked in and they had a ton of massage therapist ready to go with many beds. I didn’t get the name of the man who massaged me but he was great. The massage was very meticulous and he massages thoroughly on every muscle possible. He was strong but not painful.
I do have to say theres a lot of things going on here. During my massage I could hear the man walk back and forth getting things and I could hear other therapists do the same. I also heard a lot of door closing and cabinet closing loud. I could hear people talking and laughing loud. I gave it 4 stars for this reason. The massage was amazing and definitely 5 stars but considering you are supposed to be relaxed and not disturbed, I was disappointed in the noise.
I highly recommend this place for the massage itself. If you hear noise and you’re courageous enough to say be quiet then say something.

It’s super strange to go to a massage place where you leave your clothes on for the entire process. The folks here are nice, but it’s not quite the experience I was hoping to have. It relieved some of the tension, but I largely felt unchanged an hour afterwards. Maybe I just don’t understand how the method here is supposed to work. The public massage room is strange to me, too.
If you’re used to traditional massage, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I was on a hunt for a new foot massage joint since the last I went to began to let me down. I had been to Ava in the past, but all I remembered was a decent massage with employees that all smoked cigarettes outside and never washed their hands… I know gross Huh?? however… I had such a pleasurable and relaxing experience this go around .
The place sits on the side of a shopping center with Big lots on one side and KFC on the other. The large neon signs make you wonder “what else are they selling?”
I came in with a friend at 8:30 pm on Sunday without an appointment and was pleasantly surprised that they took us in. We had to wait twenty minutes.. but was happy that they found us some room. I would highly recommend that you call in and schedule your appointment. Those that call in, get priority.
The massage was awesome and sooooo worth the money. Though my masseuse changed mid way during my massage…(they thought I wouldn’t notice lol), the massage was excellent.
Don’t be fooled, their foot massage for twenty bucks is actually a full body massage! They start with your face… oh my!!! Love it! They work on your arms and hands. They then work on your feet and work their magic. If they had a two hour deal, I would totally do it!!! They also have you turn over on your belly and work on your back. Oh my!! I loved it and it was so relaxing. The masseuse had the touch of an angel.
The room where they give the massage is open and not as private as you would want it to be for a massage parlor. We had a woman moaning/snoring on one end and we had another man snoring on the other side of where we were laying…. but the awesome massage makes you forget you are in a room full of strangers. You keep all your clothes on so don’t worry about over exposing yourself to a room full of strangers.
All in all.. I forgot how fantastic and cheap this place was. I will definitely come back!! They need a loyalty card!!! They may have one ,but I wasn’t offered one.

This place is a hidden gem! My friends recommended coming here and was worth it! The first time you come you get $5 off for checking in! Still not bad $20 for an hour. Felt really relaxed and great afterwords. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family. Great place to come unwind once a week to get those muscles relaxed.

My body was in great pain and muscles were stressed out and it’s time for massage.
Cost of massage is great.. just do foot massage instead of body massage. You will have similar result and lot cheaper.
After 1 hr of great massage, there is no place better than this

Went there on a weekend with my boyfriend. We called an hour before and they were able to accommodate us. It’s a massage that you get in a big communal room with your clothes on. It felt really good. It was a guy masseuse and he was able to get one of my knots out.
It’s located on the side of the strip mall, you can’t see it from the main road. But becuase it is on the side of the strip mall, that side of the parking lot is pretty empty.
And it’s so cheap!

I visited Ava Foot Massage yesterday with a friend and I didn’t know what to expect. I have a usual spot near home that I love, so my expectations were high. I got the full body massage, plus the cucumber mask. It was an hour and a half of pure bliss! The facility was clean, the staff was very kind and professional. My masseuse was great! He asked if the pressure was ok, and offered to adjust accordingly. My friend was new to the massage world and was hesitant. After leaving Ava foot massage, I’m happy to report that he is an official massage convert!
Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely be returning!

Another 1 hour & 15 minutes well spent! I once again had the C Combo Massage for 35 (+ $10 tip, yes it was that good!) And that back massage part of it…HANDS DOWN THE BEST!
I’ve been to different foot spa’s but by far I find Ava Foot Massage above the rest mainly because of the quality & style of their massage! You know that feeling like when your massage will just end at the climax part of it then you felt rob because
you wanted more? Here, I always felt contented like, wow there’s more, and more, and more! Then by the time it ends you feel really relaxed and satisfied!
It’s a typical foot massage place with a row of massage beds in the open and few additional private cubicles maybe being used for longer session like what I had today. It’s clean and without any strong or funky kind of spa smell. Funny because earlier I noticed couple of onions in the massage room floor and I found out that they really leave them there to make the air smells fresh. That’s why!
So, for those foot spa fanatics out there, this place is legit and highly recommended! I always go to Lily, she is really good!
