Found this place by accident and so happy I did!

It is $5 more than my regular place in San Gabriel, but makes up for it in:
1. Ambience
2. Cleanliness
3. Professionalism
4. Distance
5. Fluffy towels

AND I met the owner and he is a great guy. Also, talented...he painted all the murals in the place.

I have been having horrible neck and shoulder pain for the past few weeks. I went to a massage therapist near my house out of desperation, and it was good but I still had the pain and discomfort in my neck and shoulders. I was certain it was going to require a trip to my wonderful chiropractor to fix. Until I met Mary at Spaahbulous last night.

WOW. My neck and shoulders feel SOOO much better. She really got in there and I'm sure the work on the feet helped out a lot as well. I'm not 100% perfect after just one hour, but it was so good I'm already going back on Saturday for another.

The only minor thing I miss from my old place in SG is the recliners that fold down so you can lay face down. This place does your back while you're in a sitting position. However, they do offer full body massages ($40 for 1 hour) and they have proper massage tables for that. Spectacular.

I am so happy I found this place and can't recommend it enough... and always remember to tip!

Spaahbulous and More is one of those great Los Angeles treasures. The exterior is unassuming and easy to miss - but everything within in nothing less than a gem. The massage is amazing. They thoroughly cover everything from your feet to your eyebrows- and everything in-between. The interior is wonderfully relaxing, with a beautiful mural, intriguing lighting, and soothing (but not cheesy) music. Everyone is super nice and seem to genuinely care about creating the best experience possible. The biggest problem with Spaahbulous is that, at $20 a visit, it creates an almost irresistible temptation to go several times a week.

What a fantastic find!!

$20 for an hour long foot and upper body massage (back and arms). Granted this place is $5 more than the places in San Gabriel Valley, but it is well worth it in exchange for actual ambiance: dim lighting, big comfy chairs, soothing music, peaceful surroundings, and extremely polite masseuses.

Make sure to tip your masseuse when you're done (not at the front desk), and tip them well ($5-10), cuz they've definitely earned it after rubbing your feet for 30+ mins.

Also, make sure to ask for a frequent customer card at the front desk, and get your 10th massage for free!!

They give you hot tea or water after your service. Make sure to make an appointment, especially on the weekends. They welcome walk-in's but if you catch them when they're booked, you might be turned away(happened to someone as I was paying to leave).

A rare gem in Downtown is the best way to describe this place. Beware it may be hard to find because of the difference in Spring and N. Spring. The bf and I totally circled around the block until we realized we parked right in front of the store. The owner is extremely friendly... a little over the top and even though her dog is cute, I didn't really appreciate her bringing it to her "spa."

On to service, GREAT atmosphere... I cannot stress this enough. Unlike most Chinese massage places in SGV, you get the same price ($20/hr) and get the spa-like ambiance of a full-service spa. The lights are dimmed, they have great soothing music, and the ever-so-peaceful sound of running water from their mini waterfall. It literally puts you to sleep. The massage therapists here are also great. While most foot massages I've had split the body to foot ratio at 20:40mins, the one here is about 30:30. I would've preferred more foot but the treatment here is really good and the guy actually did wonders for me while minimizing the usual, unbearable pain.

Definite must. And, the business offers those Buy 9 Get your 10th visit free promotion. Make sure you tip your therapists -- they work really hard and provide great service.

As I was getting my foot massage (which includes calves and some leg action), I felt like Imelda Marcos or better yet, Marie Antoinette. It's hard not to feel like a creep in a big puffy chair while someone slaves away on your achin' dogs, but you learn to live with it. I want to go every goddamn day.

At one point, the toe portion of the massage felt like a sex-act. I'm not kidding. It was like a sexual assault on my feet, but they like that sort of thing.

We were "walk-in" but were seen right away; I like to live on the edge. However,on weekdays there are just a few foot-technicians working so it may be less foolhardy to call ahead. If it had the opulent surroundings of Pho Siam, it would definitely warrant a 5-star. But then, they probably would have to charge more, so let's stick with things just the way they are.

It may be $20 I ever spent.
