Classic Family Spa

Great price and great service. Will definitely come back. Alice the manager was very accommodating! Thank you alice! (:

My husband bought me a full body massage through Groupon and I finally took advantage of it. I seriously had o e of the best massages I’ve ever had. Paul dug into muscles I didn’t even know we’re there and boy were they sore! I would highly recommend this place!

Amazing service, May gave an amazing full body massage. Definitely will come back again soon. Very relaxing. Room was very clean and comfortable. I loved it.

Very clean, relaxing envionment. The couple’s massage was awesome! Loved it next time were doing the sauna

Massage places are only as good as their masseuses. I’m very picky — and I’ve had a lot of injuries, so I do get doctor prescribed therapeutic massages, but this place really impressed me. Bonus — the massage is done in separate rooms so it’s private, and it’s tidy and clean.
CeCe was my masseuse, and I kept thinking throughout the massage, if only she was on my insurance plan. Regardless, I think I’m planning to come here at least once a month. CeCe is extremely intuitive — her style is Chinese acupressure and Meridian, Swedish and some Thai thrown in– and she is medium-​firm (although I’m sure you can ask for whatever you need). However, you will need to be able to endure pain especially if you’ve got injuries– she goes right to the source, and then knows exactly where the pain will be referred, so she zeroes in on other places that can be sore. She put a warm compress on my back where I have injuries to my lumbar facets, and she worked on my foot which has a torn fascia and my foot has not felt this good since before its injury. And she worked on my thumb and forearm for where my carpal tunnel has referred pain, and after massaging the area, the pain really subsided. She knew exactly what to do. Very competent.
There are also lots of specials and Groupons since the business is new.
One drawback is that the staff’s English isn’t great (if you speak Mandarin, then you’re set), but you can still get a sense they are not jaded, and they’re interested in doing the best they can. There’s also a jacuzzi and sauna there. I didn’t use those facilities this time. I think if they were to expand in the future, this place will be the Glendale alternative to some of the Korean spas.

My lower back was extremely sore and I looked on groupon for a convenient place for a massage. I found Classic Family Spa and I called to make an appt for 10 am the next morning. I arrived early at 9:30 am and was greeted promptly and taken to my room. The lady at the front desk had no problem with my groupon and quickly redeemed it. Paul was my therapist and he was FANTASTIC! He has a heavy hand but I needed it. The music playing was relaxing and the room itself was clean and comfortable. The lobby is chilly but that didn’t affect my massage. My friend joined me a few minutes later and had Tony, he said Tony was very professional and definitely would return. I feel the same way, and think I will go again later this week to just keep my lower back from feeling sore again. On my way out I was handed a few great coupons and I am excited to use them. I would say give this place a try, I did and I don’t regret it! Don’t forget to tip!

On Friday, January 8, 2016 I received the best massage of my entire life, and this 58 year old body has had a lot of massages. About 9 months ago I started participating in 5K walk/​runs after a 30 year absence and while my health has improved, I have also experienced hip and ankle problems. A few days before visiting Classic Family Spa I had some deep tissue work done and it did help some, but nothing like the results from the massage I received from Paul. Both my husband and I are scheduling massages with Paul for this week to prepare for the Star Wars 10K and half marathon next weekend. I should mention a couple of things — while I started jogging again, I am still very overweight and Paul had no trouble manipulating the tissue around my hips. In addition, I learned that Paul was a physician in China and that explains a lot about his knowledge of the human body and how to manipulate muscle and tissue for therapeutic purposes.
In addition to the great massage, the business offers great discounts if you want to return several times, which both my husband and I will be doing. Thank you Alice, for operating such a professional business, and thank you Paul, for the best massage ever.

****Update 1÷7÷16: The spa owner contacted me on Unilocal to let me know I misunderstood her about the Groupon deal. It is still not clear to me, but since I appreciate her reaching out, I wanted to clarify that in this review. She also said that Paul’s technique is a curative technique that can feel uncomfortable. I wish I had known that before. Hopefully, they will let future customers know this so they can be prepared. ***
Went here tonight and had a not-​great experience (which was really surprising because I had read all the positive reviews before purchasing a Groupon for $ 21 for $ 50).
When I arrived, the lady at the front desk said it would be $ 25. When I showed her the Groupon, she redeemed it and handed me a coupon for «next time.» I tried to ask her about the remaining value ($ 25) and she just repeated that I could use a coupon for next time and insisted I follow her. Since it wasn’t much money, I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it (they probably do this with all the Groupon purchasers assuming people will just accept it). They have coupons available inside, so don’t buy the Groupon — just go an ask for a coupon if you wanna check it out.
Anyway, I get set up in a room and the masseuse (I think his name was Paul) comes in and starts rubbing my head and temples. I am very uncomfortable and ask him if this was a foot massage (thinking maybe it started that way?). He didn’t speak English well and seemed confused and motioned to the rest of me as if he was asking if this was a full massage (I’m fully clothed and in a recliner — reflexology-​style). When I said it was feet only, he put gloves on and poked and scratched at my feet. It was truly the most uncomfortable massage I have ever had. I really couldn’t take it after ten minutes and said I didn’t feel well, tipped Po for the –10 min and RAN out of there. Not sure why the lady didn’t communicate it was a foot massage and also why it felt so awful and not good.
The facility seems clean and nice and they have a sauna area that looked promising. Too bad the massage itself was so terrible. If you want to take your chances here, do NOT buy a Groupon since they won’t honor it. And DO NOT get a foot massage here.
No need for the coupons for me because I will not be going back! I hate to leave a negative review but I have to be honest. I would like to save a fellow Unilocaler from foot scratching. Looks like people who had regular massages had a better experience.

Paul was wonderful. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely be coming back.

Best place to get massages in Glendale like the vibe in this place and very friendly and a very good price. Take there time with massage no rush and best place to come with husband or wife

This is the ideal spot for serious massages. We were a group of 8 and they were able to accommodate us the same day. They provided us with perfect massages! My masseuse Alice, addressed points of stress and worked through knots to alleviate any tightness or kinks. The spa itself provides a great sauna, jacuzzi and showering facilities and well-​stocked dressing area. Open seven days a week. They have Masseuses and Masseurs with almost any style you want! I highly recommend them! Very pleased and impressed.

I love this place. Always very clean and professional. The masseuse is very wonderful. She knows how to tend to every knot in my body. I can’t wait until my next massage. I would recommend this place to everyone.

When you go home for the holidays and your mom offers to get you both massages, you always say yes.
I found this place after a quick search on groupon, and I think I stumbled upon a gem. Now I had an amazing experience with Sosi (I think that’s how you spell her name). She’s been a massage therapist for 15 years and she took such time and care with my massage-​and it was my first time!
My mom cannot stop raving about her massage. She has a horrible back, two metal knees, and foot troubles. Her masseuse was Tony-​he doesn’t speak much English, however he speaks through his massage, according to my mom. It was the best massage she’s had in years, and insisted I write this review. In her words, they truly know their craft here.
Is it a sparkling resort hotel spa? No. But you’re also not paying $ 150 for a sub-​par experience. I would whole heartedly recommend this spa to novices or long time massage therapy fans.

I was going to buy a groupon for this place, but i called first and the person said that i should just come in. When i got there, she would not honor the groupon price, even if i bought the deal from groupon. she had signs posted on the walls and the internet with prices that she would not honor. A couple came in and she just let them in front of us and ushered them into a room and left me and my friend in the lobby for 10 minutes. I rang the bell, and she came back, but still wouldnt honor the prices listed on her wall. She said she was busy and ushered us into a room in the back to wait for her. 20 minutes later, she still hadnt come back to get us so we left. Out of curiosity, we peeked in the front door 2 minutes later and suddenly she was sitting at the front desk. She had just been waiting for us to get burnt out and leave. She had no intention of servicing us. I kept calling her out on the fact that the prices were clearly listed on the wall and she just kept saying they were old. Eventually she got on a chair and took them down. We just left. Never going back.

They have excellent service and the people are very nice. The masseuse TONY did and excellent job. I would definitely recommend him.

Got a couples massage groupon deal and my boyfriend and I loved it! Our massage therapists applied the perfect pressure for both of us. The owner gave us a tour of the place when we were done so we’ll definitely be coming back to enjoy the sauna and jacuzzi!

My boyfriend and I went in through groupon and were fortunate to find ourselves in one of our favorite massage experiences ever! The masseuses were so good! And the best part, they were not talking so rudely to each other the way a lot of these places do, especially with asian masseuses. Thank you so much!

I give this place 5 stars because it was very clean, and the women were great. I went in for a couples massage today and it was great.
My partner was not too excited about it. But in the end, we both loved it and plan on returning. They appreciate feed back and they appreciate when you tell them if they are doing a good job or not. Their accents were heavy, so I felt like it was very difficult to communicate with them at some points.
But they are very sweet & very great at what they do! I would definitely recommend this place.

Who would have expected a true spa like this in Glendale? From the moment you walk in you start to relax. It smells clean and wonderful, which is a start.
I opted for the massage only. My masseuse was terrific. She zeroed in on all my sore spots and I felt like jelly afterward, not beat up!
I didn’t go for the sauna or Jacuzzi but I definitely will next visit. 5 stars!

These folks are so sweet! I questioned the Unilocal reviews but went anyway because I needed a last minute massage. Turns out the reviews were on point! Ha.
What you have here is your basic Chinese reflexology place but souped up with an added sauna and spa. They have a lot of promotional discounts available right now because they’re new, so I would definitely call them up and ask. Most importantly, as everyone else mentioned, it is extremely clean and neat.
The area is a little tight for parking but there is a lot behind it where you can try and get a spot. Peter did my massage and it was a mix between Meridian massage and Swedish. For $ 50, I have realistic expectations of what to expect and I thought that it certainly met those expectations.
Definitely a great new addition to the neighborhood!
