Jia Foot Spa

Great place for a relaxing message. Go for the full body deep tissue massage one hour treatment. I like Nicki there and find her to be a capable professional.
Give it a try knowing the place could use a good makeover as it is more store front than spa perhaps that’s how they keep the prices so affordable.

Wife and I got two deep tissue massages. 60 min $ 50 each. Now the price is great and the masseuses were above average. There were some serious issues that will probably leading us elsewhere in the suburbs. First major issue was with the employee outside of our semi-​private rooms that was obviously ill. Constant sneezing, sniffling, and coughing kept making the relaxation into worrying about hygiene of establishment. While my neck was being massaged I kept receiving a few blows to the temple honestly not that big of a deal because I readjusted my self to avoid the extra contact. Wife’s masseuse left to get hot towels and left the door OPEN. At the conclusion of my massage the door was left OPEN while I’m supposed to put my clothes back on. Well aware of the plastic divider but closing the door is essential for privacy. Honestly thought the masseuse was still in the cleaning process and did not want to show disrespect by getting up wearing only my boxers. Another issue is with the lack of overall concern for customer relationship. At no point was I asked about problem areas and potential injuries. Also tipping is crucial but at no point were we asked how was everything and why we tipped 10% instead received a mean mug look as we paid. We want to tip and develop a relationship with a masseuse just not at this establishment. 2.5 stars.

My first time ever getting a massage and it was definitely worth it. $ 29 for an entire body massage for an hour is an absolute steal. Call in prior for an appointment just to make sure you have a spot (only have 8 beds) and wear loose clothing like a wide neck shirt and roll-​able pants since they massage your neck, back, and legs. I also think it is best to not have make-​up on your face and to keep your hair loose since they start with a deep head/​face massage.
Probably the main difference about this place compared to other massage parlors is that all 8 massage beds are in one big room and you do not have to take off any clothes. Everyone who is there is getting massaged at the same time, but no one really can tell because they cover your eyes with a towel and you are so relaxed you can pretty much fall asleep.
They also have punch cards (buy 10 massages, get the 11^th free) so ask for those! I think they accept credit cards, but I would bring cash just in case (especially for the tip). I definitely will be back and I highly recommend.

It was awesome! Me and my mom had a great experience there! We will be back!

My sister introduced me to this type of reflexology massage while I visited her in California, and I’ve been meaning to find a place locally where I could go. I think I found it. This is not your spa-​like, aromatherapy place where you have to go into a locker room and undress and put on robes. If you like that kind of experience, this is not for you. But if you want to keep your clothes on and get a great massage and really be in and out in one hour, this is a great place to go. It truly is a great, relaxing massage for your entire body. I got the 30-​minute foot and 30-​minute relaxing regular massage (one-​hour special for only $ 29!) and I didn’t quite know what to expect but I got a whole lot more than I expected. It was truly a total body massage. They start with your face and scalp and neck and upper back and then move onto your feet for a deep message. Then they ask you to flip over on your stomach, and that’s when the unexpected happened. They really massage you from top to bottom and more on your head and scalp while you’re on your stomach! That was so refreshing and relaxing. What a great massage at a great value. I will definitely be a regular there!
Some tips
–Wear a shirt with a wide neck because they need to access your upper back under your shirt with sleeves that can easily be rolled up
–Wear comfortable pants that you can roll up to your knees
–Don’t style your hair or expect to go anywhere important immediately afterwards because they will get all up in there
–Same with makeup. If you’re wearing it, it may get smeared as they start with massaging your face a little, but my masseuse asked me if I wanted to do my face, so I think you can decline that if you don’t want your face touched
–Be forewarned that they will touch every part of your body! And my masseuse held my hand lot! Some of the techniques probably will get some getting used to if you’re not used to it. I saw male masseurs there, although I had a woman. If you have a preference, let them know.
Give it a try! For $ 29, if you don’t like it, at least you won’t feel like you paid an arm and a leg for it.

Sunny was incredible. I did a 30 minute foot massage and then a one hour massage using the stones and she walked in my back. They do that in the private room on the back. At first I was a little skeptical as I like a very hard and deep tissue massage and she was so tiny however she has extremely strong hands! I would definitely go back!!!

It was HORRIBLE whoever I had kept leaving me to answer her phone. Not even the work phone it was her own personal phone! On top of it it was my BIRTHDAY and it has a horrible birthday surprise to have a massage where my person kept leaving me every 2 minutes. I counted and she left 12 times for her own personal phone and 2 times for the work phone. Overall it was a HORRIBLE experience. And the quality of the massage was even worse.

Best massage EVER! And so cheap! Be sure to come in something like a tank top and yoga pants, and be prepared to have your face and scalp massaged. Ask for Nikki or Lucy, they are fantastic.

So tonight I gave in and stopped in to get some relief! I’m a nurse and my neck and shoulders need attention! I took the 30 min table massage. It was nice and I hope did the trick! The masseuse did a good job a little rough and painful but it’s just what I needed! In a pinch for a quick retreat I recommend this place! PS they don’t really speak English so it was a little awkward to begin with! LOL

Hands down the best massage I have had. I like that they use deep tissue approach. Reflexology part works wonders. Wear tight fitting clothes. Like that they give a better massage with my clothes on than I have ever had in a private massage setting. Great prices!!!

This place is awesome. Very reasonable and very good. Wish they’d open one in Plaza De Lago, Wilmette!!!

I walked in to try out the «Jia Special» at $ 29 for 60 minutes. Talk about a steal for the price of a massage! First of all, you keep all your clothes on. It’s best to wear something where your legs and arms are exposed since they will spend some time massaging your calves and your shoulders. She started out by having me lie down on a cot with my feet soaking in warm water. Then she proceeded to massage in this order: scalp, forehead, temples, neck, shoulders, arms, thighs, calves and feet. Then she had me turn over and spent some time on my back and neck.
Overall, a great experience and I will be back for another one in the near future. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there are about ~10 cots in the main room and the lady next to me fell asleep while receiving her massage and was snoring very loudly. It’s hard to enjoy anything fully when someone is snoring in your ear.

I have had hundreds of massages and believe it or not, this little no-​frills place in Plaza del Prado is the best I have ever had!!! I opted for the combo 30 minute foot massage and 30 minute table massage. The foot massage was great, but the neck/​shoulder/​back table massage was incredible! She worked out every single knot I had and I felt amazing. She asked me a couple of times if I liked the pressure, which I did.
It was very intense, so if you want something gentler, I imagine you have to ask. I am sure she would have complied but I liked that she worked everything out.
All this for $ 45 — a total steal!

Linda was my 5 STAR MASSEUSE utilizing more acupressure technique vs some of the deep tissue manhandling elsewhere. She understood and adjusted pressure when requested. Her head, neck, face and shoulder massage are light years beyond anything previously experienced. The rest of the body was treated with an expert’s touch. Every kink gone and bonus, my forehead was totally smooth when I looked in the mirror this morning.
Facility needs a Zen facelift. Could be a moneymaker given its location. Wouldn’t take much monetary investment to bring this place up to par with other foot spas nearby. Turning off the overhead fluorescent lights, closing the backroom door, black out the front windows and asking staff to keep the chatter to a minimum would be a good start.
If you like acupressure and want to leave feeling like a million bucks, Linda’s your 5 STAR gal! $ 45 for 90 minutes was a bargain. Gave a generous tip which left us both smiling as I departed.

Not bad. Not great…
A little too loud at times for a massage place. Need a little more styling to make it more ZEN… you know =)
Has potential!

The massage experience was very pleasant for both my mom and I. However, the mood was totally shifted at checkout session.
My mom and I both had different massage packages, therefore, we tipped our massage therapists differently.
The female massage therapist who got tipped less gave us a face.
Then my mom felt awkward and was about to give her more money to make it even and I stopped my mom.
I believe the female therapist’s poor attitude do not deserve any extra tips. I do not understand why I had to explain to her why we tipped her less. Isn’t this common sense? We all tip base on how much we spend, right?
Besides the female massage therapist’s poor attitude, I was really satisfied with my massage service. IF i decide to come back here again, I will make sure she is not my massage therapist ;) She is very immature.

Review is for GLenview location. Worst massage and extremely disappointed. Had back pain hence went to jia massage first time. The masseur applied too much stress on back even after requesting for gentle massage. The masseur was sick and coughing most of the time. No soothing music. Didn’t want to tip for worst service received but tipped
was waste of my time and money. Never go here. I have been to other massage places and the masseur/​masseuse treat the clients very gentle and adjust the massage to the needs of client

It’s hard to come by a $ 29/​hr massage — the price is right. This massage is full body so only what felt like 15 min is actually spent on your back, which was little disappointing. I did enjoy the calming traditional Chinese music playing in the background.

It’s very reasonably priced and you feel great after the massage. Look, starting at $ 29 for an hour, please don’t come in and expect shi-​shi, scented mist and privacy. Get on that chair, close your eyes and get a full hour of deep tissue foot and body massage.
You keep your clothes on and all the chairs/​tables are next to each other. Wear loose pants so they can roll them up and short sleeves tops.

My wife and mother-​in-​law said this place gave great massages and was very inexpensive. We booked 1 hour massages for four of us last Sunday. The price was only $ 29 (plus tip) for one hour head, neck, shoulders and foot massage. It was worth double that price – one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time.
The workers speak very little English but they know how to give a great massage. You keep your clothes on here because the tables are side-​by-​side with no privacy. But, even with clothes on, this is one of the best massages ever.
We will be back to Jia every time we visit the area!
