Cloud 9 Foot Spa

This was SO AMAZING! Amy was my therapist and I’ll definitely see her again. It’s so hard for me to relax during massages because my muscles are so tense. I opted for the 1 hour foot massage which includes 20 minutes of body massage and 40 minutes of foot massage… HEAVENLY! The only thing that was different was the fact that there are other people in the massage room with you if you choose reflexology — since you’re fully clothed. If you choose a regular massage you get your own room. Didn’t bother me though. My regular massage place just lost my business!

Cloud 9 Foot Spa is my personal favorite Foot Massage Spa in Houston.
I always request Jack when I get a massage service at Cloud 9 Foot Spa. He found all my pressure points and worked out a lot of my knots, and I was super comfortable and
My first experience was exceptional! So I have to admit… I got addicted to this place and came back 4 times that month or so, each time bringing family and friends to enjoy with me.
One of my most memorable times was when I decided to try the one hour massage with a girlfriend and the look on our faces and feeling we had after left the room was like a TRUE HIGH. We really did feel like we were laying on pillows of clouds. So relaxed and pleased with the massage.
Some people may not be sure who to go with for their first time (therapist) but I suggest anyone really. It’s really up to you to tell them how you like your massages. They can’t read your mind, so help them out and suggest to them how to improve your experience.
+ Very clean… it even smells clean and relaxing when you walk in
+ Quiet rooms
+ Heat pads for your back to lay on
+ Drink plenty of water in the lobby before and after (tea is provided as well)
+ Warm water to soak your feet in
Tip — It’s really worth getting the 10 pack deal. Consider getting it to save money. You can also give it to friends/​family.

Great massage. I was expecting just a simple foot massage, but received a whole foot, leg, back, and neck experience. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm. Will definitely come back really soon.

This place is amazing professional people clean place very peaceful and principal I would retirement a lot of people to come very relaxing and powerful new signs
L brought my daughter to get a massage to head to work closely with her and adjust the pressure and the bunny points she was so relaxed when it was over and happy she loves this place

Facility and clean and look well-​maintained. Parking lot is in the back. Love that I can book appointments online, so convenient! I booked for a full body 60 minute massage. Since I saw so many recommendations for Annie, that who I went with. The massage was wonderful, and lots of popping and cracking. I felt relaxed to the point I was about to fall asleep. I do recommend coming in at least 15 minutes early to fill out the 1^st timer’s form if this is your first time and circle the areas your want more or less pressure on for your massage. This place is well worth the money. They use hot towels as well, make sure to let them know if it is too hot because it certainly can be!

5-​star worthy massage. If you’re interested in deep tissue, make sure to request William. Online appointment booking is convenient and easy. Need another incentive? $ 5 off a massage before 4pm for checking in on Unilocal and $ 10 off for writing a review.

Always a great massage! You can’t beat their attention to detail and great technique. I have had more expensive massages not half as good. Wendy was my therapist and she was great.

I LOVE this place. I might as well forward my paycheck I go so often. This place is near the med center a little hard to navigate if you haven’t been there before. Thier lot is actually behind a 2 story building as is thier entrance so off Holcombe you drive down the side of the building, past the dumpster and you are there. You will quickly learn to just use the back street off Kirby to get there.
Once you get there you are checked in and given your choice of body or reflexology, with the body it’s a typical massage, but they give you a sheet to circle where they should focus on.
I like the reflexology. Jack and Kim are amazing, so are the others but these two are my preference. They put a hot pack on the small of your back and then start your session. Only negative is included in your hour is the time it takes them to get the hot water for your feet, leave and then come back with the hot pack so really you get a 40 to 45 min reflexology.
The best thing besides the actual service, if you are a medical professional in the med center, show your badge and get $ 10 off your service so now your 1 hour session is $ 25 bucks. Amazing!

Pretty good experience. Friendly staff and customer service. Wendy did my massage and foot massage with hot stones. She knew minimal English to communicate effectively but I only hoped she read what all I filled out on the questionnaire prior to the massage. She was nice and did a good job overall.

I just received a massage here, from Jeff I believe is his name. I so understand why this place has such a good rating. My massage was great! I had an 80 minute foot and body combination massage with hot stones. It felt like the tension was melting off of my body.
I will be getting another massage tomorrow or Friday someplace else, because I have a problem area that needs extra attention, and wasn’t thoroughly worked on, because as with most (all that I’ve been to) foot massage spas the full body massages are very generic. That was a really long sentence. Lol. In a comment that I read, someone said that they received a body picture for them to circle areas that needed special attention, but I did not get that. So, if you have a problem area that needs special attention, you may want to go to another massage parlor. If you just need some tension released and need to relax, this is perfect. Oh, also, on my form filled out before the massage, there’s an option to select the type of pressure you prefer. This was not shown to the massage therapist, so don’t expect to get the pressure that you circled you prefer. The therapist will ask during the session though if the pressure is ok, and you can let him/​her know then if you want it lighter or more firm.
Would I recommend Cloud 9 Foot Spa to others? Absolutely. Will I return again? Maybe. I’m frugal, and there’s a foot «spa» off of Bellaire Blvd. that has significantly cheaper prices, and I always receive great massages from them as well. They are further away from me though, so my returning will depend on if I’d rather have a short commute and pay more for the massage, or if I’m willing to drive further and pay less.

2 stars because my therapist was nice and tried really hard but just didnt do any massage at all. I felt like my body was being washed with oil instead of a massage.
I am sad to say I was really looking forward to this. I am usually able to communicate well with my masseuse in Chinatown but it just did not work out this time. I found myself in pain and oily just waiting for her to get it over with. When she did my legs she tucked the sheet between my butt like a thong and left me freezing and exposed. Gah!
I may try to go back again and try someone else listed in the reviews here.

Wonderful massage
Clean and relaxing place
Amy was great
Highly recommend
Relaxing music and atmosphere is great

Consistent service and a commitment to excellence.
I’ve been to Cloud 9 a few times and each time has been a great experience. Each therapist is willing to hear your concerns and I love the fact that there is no weird small talk. I come to relax lol. I had one unsatisfactory experience and was immediately contacted by management. They wanted to make it right and they did! They really are a great deal. They often have specials during the week or if you’re down to pay with cash.
They even offer deals if you bring a friend which is a win/​win. I usually do a full body (anywhere between anywhere hour and 90 minutes) and it’s a worthwhile addition to my self-​care routine.
Give them a shot!

I was long overdue for a massage and decided to try out Cloud 9 and use the groupon deal for the 80 minute foot and body hot stone massage combo. This place was also highly recommended to me by a close friend who goes regularly with a particular therapist.
The place is clean and modern with a zen feel which was lovely. Front desk gives great customer service! However the reason for the 3 stars is due to the unorganized transition from the foot massage to the body massage that totally killed my relaxed vibe. I started off in a room along with other people for the foot massage portion. The therapist took a while to settle me in and I stayed laying there for minutes while she was back and forth before she began. No biggie although I did start to get impatient. Once she began she was still back and for getting towels dumping water and it was a bit distracting in my opinion and didn’t allow me to fully relax. Once done, moving to the private room was a hassle she didn’t know which one to take me too and once again when I was taken to the room I laid there for minutes for her to get what she needed.
The massage however was great and Helen my therapist was sweet and professional. I will be sure next time I get a massage where I stay in one place and don’t have to be moved from one place to another though.

I had never heard of this place until I saw the Groupin advertisement. I bought the Groupin and decided to try it out on my day off. I was very pleased with my experience.
The 40 minute foot massage was a new experience for me and one that I plan to revisit. The 40 minute hit stone massage following was awesome as well! It’s the foot and body combo. William was my therapist.
The prices are very reasonable as well. The building is close to the street and parking is available in the back.

The 5 star is hard to get from me now a days. But this place has in fact earned it.
I had a case cancel and I was heading to the gym when I saw the sigh for 25 $ foot massage. Initial thought «another one of these places?!» But my back was hurting so I went in anyway. Their parking lot is small. So know this going into it.
You walk in and it’s very zen like. Nice neutral calming colors and a super sweet front desk. If you go in wed/​Thursday you get a 10 dollar off services if you pay cash. Just FYI. So that being said, a 90 minute massage is 65 bucks. When you sign in they have a body chart where you can circle where you need extra attention. For me, between my shoulder blades.
I’ve had Annie and Eric both give me massages in my 3 times here and I think anyone there would be an amazing job. They’re all kind, they ask you if things are comfortable constantly. They care about their clientele.
This place is amazing and if you haven’t been you need to come. Seriously amazing.

Amazing place in West University with prices comparable to Bellaire/​Chinatown. Been going every week for about a year now. There’ve been a lot of new masseuses since then. Currently, the best are Wendy and Michelle. Amy and Annie are good if the other two are unavailable. William is good if you like really firm pressure.
They make it easy to save by a couple of ways:
*Buy massages in bulk as giftcards — It usually makes your 1 hr full body $ 40 or foot massage $ 25
*Bring your medical center work ID. Full body ends up being $ 45
*Come during off-​peak days. Monday/​Tuesday 1 Hour Foot Massage is $ 30. Wednesday/​Thursday 1 Hour Body Massage is $ 45.
Foot massages are «asian-​style» meaning it’s really a full body except they focus on feet and you keep your clothes on. Just like any asian foot massage place, there is a minimum acceptable tip that often exceeds typical western tipping percentages. Nothing less than a $ 10 for either foot/​body massage. They even have a sign! I know, it may very well exceed 25% but if you go to bellaire/​chinatown for a $ 20 1 hr foot massage, it’s pretty much expected you tip more than $ 5 ($ 7 – 10 ideally) or some places call you out on it.

I was a walk-​in client and was taken immediately on a Friday at about 4 p.m. The receptionist is nice and helpful. I liked that she asked if I preferred a male or female for my massage. I don’t really like her asking for me to pre-​pay the massage before getting it especially since I still have to tip after it’s over. Might as well get it all done at once at the end.
The massage itself was great. I’ve only had foot massages at places in Chinatown and those establishments weren’t as nice as this one. I really liked that they used an actual towel to put my face in the hole instead of the Chinatown method of using paper towels. Jack is the man. He was amazing, and I enjoyed every minute. It’s a bit more expensive than the Chinatown spots, but the location and convenience make up for it.

«What I’ve learned is that America is about money, and if you can make your culture commodifiable, then you’re relevant. I don’t believe anybody agrees with what I say or supports what I do because they truly want to love Asian people. They like my fucking pork buns, and I don’t get it twisted.»
–Eddie Huang, restaurateur
Whenever I see a business like Cloud 9 or Phở Binh on Westheimer, I’m conflicted. On one hand, I scoff at the non-​Asian demographic gobbling up these Asian products at a ridiculous markup, 50−100% higher than what one could find in the right neighborhood.
On the other hand, I’m happy for these business owners, because they found a way to make bank selling products from their own culture. Making it big. Supporting their family and sending their kids through college on their own terms. Isn’t that what the American dream is all about?
I’ve gotten a fair amount of foot massages, mostly thanks to my friend Scotus (real name changed) who gets one everyday he comes back to Houston to visit. This dude loves foot massages. When we were in Thailand, we got 7 foot massages in 5 days. If it were up to him, we would have spent the entire trip laying on our butts getting foot massages. If there were a foot massage Dukedom on Unilocal,he would have it.
Anyway, basically what you get with a foot massage here is a head rub, neck rub, and foot rub. You can get a 30, 60, or 90 minute session, depending on your schedule. Since everyone is discovering how amazing foot massages are, they’re pretty booked and you’re probably going to have to call in advance to schedule an appointment.
You lie on a bed in a room with several other beds with quiet, serene music playing in the background, and let the masseuse drift you into relaxation. I took a 30 minute session and I fell asleep within 10 minutes, so it was pretty good. There’s an option to select «soft, medium, or hard» point pressure from the masseuse, and FYI, you can tell the masseuse in person whether you want him to change the strength of the massage as well. Mine went just right. I walked out the door in a daze back to my Bellaire neighborhood, my pocket a little bit lighter than it would usually be. And honestly, I don’t mind.

Cloud 9 is the perfect name for this spa, because that’s exactly how you feel when you leave. WOW. For a mere $ 45 you’re swept away into massageland and the masseuses are amazing.
My friend and I found this place last minute, called, and booked a couples massage room for the two of us for the same day. The girls at the front desk were really helpful and nice, and the place was actually really busy. I’ve been to cheap massage places before (granted, they were all in New York where I’m from), but this one was beautiful, sleek, and clean.
You choose your strength level prior to entering your massage room, and you can also let them know which specific areas you want targeted, if any. William did my massage and he was STRONG! Yes, I like my massages really firm and he exceeded my expectations. My friend was also satisfied and impressed with her experience.
