Keson Massage Spaah

Been looking for a good massage spot to hit in my way home from work and I found the right place and the right girl! Kim gave me the best and most relaxing Swedish massage… I think she used hot stones too. Whatever it was, it was blissful and cost effective. I’m sold on this place. I won’t look any further.

So I’ve been driving past this place for a couple of months now. Always forgetting to try it out. Well my day is finally here. Thanks to the Existing Unilocalers I decided to try this place out. This was a much awaited massage experience after a looong time for me
So I called in for an appointment like an hour before and they were free. Good for me. Sweet people here. I found them a wee bit slow on the communication but that shouldn’t be a problem for anyone though. They’re warm people. (Literally. Haha they have warm hands perfect for a massage ;))
My masseuse was KIM. She’s really sweet and she gave me the most awesome massage. One hour of the Swedish massage that they offer. (I wasn’t brave enough to endure the Thai or Deep tissue But I believe I made the right choice for this session)
It started off great with a warm towel massage for my feet. And then Kim used just enough scented oil for the massage for the rest of the body. The massage she did for me, heavenly! I probably fell asleep in between. I was sooo relaxed. She had a lot of patience to focus on each (allowed) area of the body and did a great job at it. I’m sure my blood circulation definitely got a jolt at that
The oil wasn’t an issue. (I’ve seen others say nasty things about their oil usage) and she wiped it off clean with a much warm towel (s). So my skin felt moistured but not oily and sticky (like it usually is when I do a facial oil massage at home). She finished off with a facial and a back rub with some light stretching. And before I knew it. Yes, I dozed off again. Very briefly
I guess I’m going to sleep well tonight. Although they have a very funny sign in all the rooms and lobby — «NO HAPPY ENDING » Hahahaa I wonder which moron asked them for one. Poor girls they had to put up this sign. It was Hilarious by the way!
So That’s that! Hope you guys have as much peace and relaxation out of the massage as I did!
Have a good day & don’t forget to try this place out .(they accept credit cards but it’s a 2 $ extra service charge. So if you wanna save that, get cash when you go there)

I came here for a deep tissue massage, it was very relaxing. It was $ 50. I would go there again.

I have been coming here for the last couple of months. Tanya is my favorite. The first few times I did traditional Thai massage which is super intense and can be quite painful. She did an amazing job and was very in tune with my body. Then I asked her for a Swedish style massage with specific focus on my shoulders and back and again she was so in tune and focused, loved it! I highly recommend her.

I started coming to Keson after reading through tons of Unilocal reviews. It is not easy to find the right massage therapist that can actually do a decent deep tissues! I have seen Tanya exclusively and she is amazing and most importantly consistent! She always uses hot stones and this tiger balm type ointment that is amazing. I have seen her once or twice a month for the past 6 months. Parking is easy either at the meters right out front or the coffee bean lot. I usually call for an appointment the day of. (Someone always answers or calls you right back. Another important point!) $ 2 charge for credit cards.

Was Skeptical to get Asian massage because I’ve had a few where it seems like they don’t know what they’re doing. Not here. Probably one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I had the combo. The lady gently sat on my back and was on the table a few times. I felt rejuvenated after. Pet peeve, hate when you pay for 60 mins and they don’t take full time. Not here I think we even for an extra 10 mins. Will def come back.

Just had my first combo massage with Nana and it was awesome! She really stretched out my muscles and worked on my neck and shoulder areas where I needed lots of attention.
I loved that this place was really clean and that I got my own room.
Nana is there Tuesdays and Fridays. I highly recommend her!

AMAZING massage spot! Don’t hesitate to come check out this place, it is always money well spent and the prices ROCK!
Tanya and Connie are the best massage therapists I’ve had to date. If you aren’t afraid of deep tissue work, these are the ladies for you! Also traditional Thai is amazing here if you enjoy being walked on. Thai women really know how to put their whole body into healing yours! My dad is the toughest critic and he swoons over Keson. I’ve been here 6 or 7 times and am always sorry when I go anywhere but Keson!

I have been here twice, both times were superb.
Today I had some exercise and stress related knots in my upper back and general soreness and tightness. Nada was my therapist, 1hour/​Thai. After some very effective lower body work she started to zero in on the knots (without me telling her what was bothering me). She went in on those knots hard with her elbows, forearms and feet. I have a high pain threshold and she went right up to it. She was very diligent, was patient where warranted but moved from spot to spot quickly. I left feeling so much better.
They don’t seem to be too busy, but I have gone midday during the week.

Connie is the best at finding the muscle spasm using good techniques not excruciating add hot stone and hot wet towels to facilitate a complete relaxation of the spasm. She charges 50 for the hour it flys by. So good the next day. I have a serious issue with pain and numbness and she helps emmensily.

I came here for a massage with my mom. The massage part was good and the room was clean… However, I had a sick masseuse breathing down on me who kept coughing and sniffling up their runny nose and then touching me. I am not a germaphobe but seriously felt like I had to run home and take a shower.
A sick masseuse should never be working on you. It seems gross and very unprofessional. I have never had this happen before and honestly am not sure if I would give this place another try because of it.

Pretty great massage. First time and wasn’t disappointed. Only two complaints, hard pressure was just medium for me… And it was freezing in the room.

A year and some change ago, I moved down to Orange County. Amongst the MANY things I missed about LA, Keson was right up there on my list. The Thai massage places I tried down in the OC were suspiciously bad. As in, I’m pretty sure people don’t go there for a back massage. Their massages were consistently terrible. Whenever I came up to LA to visit I would make sure to drive by Keson for a massage. And now that I’m back in LA, I am back at Keson like a regular.
It hasn’t changed. And that’s a good thing. The quality of the massage is still high. But of course I only ask for Tonya. If you have knots, she has the precision of a medical professional in honing right to the problem areas without a word! Anyways, I still think this place is the best Thai massage joint in LA!

I’v been going to Keson since i moved to SM 6 MONTHS AGO. Being a massage therapist myself I’m so picky but everyone i’v had a massage from here has been great. Connie is awesome and pays attention to detail with warm stones and hot towels, i always leave feeling like a new person!!!

I am one of those people who always discovers suddenly that she needs a massage and only has time for it RIGHT NOW… not in the three days it might take to schedule with some professional healer. So I always end up in a pickle, looking for a place who can squeeze me in an hour from now. This means that I frequently end up going to various corporate massage… ahem…places, because they always have open tables. But the massages at those corporate places are sometimes not something to… well…envy. I’m always asking on the phone «Do you have someone who can do deep tissue? Like, really get the knots out?» and despite the receptionist’s assurances, I end up with some patsy who is dragging his oiled up spirit-​fingers over my back with barely a tickle. Or if I actually do get someone who can dig in, the person wants to talk to me the whole damn time.
So THANK GOD for Keson. I called 30 minutes before and they took me with no questions. Here I was treated to the whole shebang. My masseuse walked on my muscles with expert precision, she greased me up and used her elbows on the gnarliest places in my shoulders, she broke out the hot stones and I felt like I was melting, she gave me a killer scalp massage. And the only words that were ever spoken during this wonderful experience were «Is this okay?»
YES! Emphatically I say, it was more than okay. It was glorious! I shall be back.

I get a massage twice a week at various places, and have been trying to find a place that has masseuses as good as wu lim qi gong master in NY (across the board).
At most places, you will get a good masseuse here and there, but then they are rarely there when you go back because they left due to not high enough pay, poor management, etc.
Enter Keson Massage.
Tonya is the owner, and she works fast without making you cry. She uses a combination of techniques and the massage table is very comfortable. Some of the massage tables or chairs I’ve been in, they aren’t so comfortable, and the place where you put your face smells, or they just put a simple paper towel down but the hole for your head is actually on the same plane as your back, whereas it should be a little bit lowered so you are not straining your neck as you get a massage.
The table that Keson has is very comfortable, and the face is lined with a very comfortable sheet.
She used a variety of techniques for the deep tissue. stones. oil, she basically didn’t miss when hitting the knots, whereas a lot of times rookies will hit your bone uncomfortably. Pretty awesome.
$ 50 for deep tissue/​hour
$ 45 for thai

I am a man who likes deep deep tissue massages but I don’t necessarily love the whole Thai massage where I have to be an active participant.
I told them that.
They gave me Tanya a middle age Thai woman she took me back and gave me an Ashiatsu massage to die for. For those who don’t know what that is it’s basically walking on your back while she holds onto bars suspended from the ceiling. I’ve had them before but I have to say her skills are amazing. That’s the best massage I’ve had in five years – which amounts to around 100 massages.
It is not for the faint of heart though.

I cannot even begin to tell you the level of high-​maintenance I notch when it comes to massage.
I’ve been getting proper massages since… well, probably before you were born. So I can spot the fluff-​n-​puff crap a mile away, and I can tell brilliant technique the second fingers hit my back.
That said, I’ve hit several different spots since moving to LA and they’ve all been terrible. (They have, however, been incredibly gracious about giving me my money back. I don’t scam and I’m not looking for free stuff, but if the masseuse/​masseur doesn’t know what she/​he is doing, or if I leave feeling worse than when I entered the place, then I ain’t fucking paying. End. of Story.)
Enter Connie at Keson Massage. This wonderful woman was not only confident in her abilities but she gave me one of the best massages I’ve had since leaving my shiatsu person in Japan.
I used to love hardcore deep tissue but in 2010 I had a terrible car accident that totally jacked my lower back. After $ 30K worth of physical therapy (including Dr. Fields in Santa Monica, look him up!), my back is still giving me problems. Although it’s much better than it was (there were times when I was crawling around my house on all fours because I couldn’t stand up… for, like, three days), but unfortunately, it’s still sore. Especially when I try to go running.
Long story short (too late?): Connie whipped me into shape like Mary Poppins took care of those broken, pesky children. When the session was over, she sat me up to towel me off and I said, «Oh my god. It already feels soooooo much better. You’re an angel.»
She’s like, «I told you.»
LOVE the confidence!
After one session with Connie, provided you drink 50 oz of water after the massage, I’d bet my racer’s 2014 season on you feeling better. And I don’t take racing lightly.

I called on a Thursday afternoon and they were able to accommodate us right away. 15 minutes later my husband and I were both getting massages (separate rooms).
I got a Swedish massage, my husband got the combo Thai/​Swedish.
I was pleasantly surprised when mine included hot stone massage! I’d never had it before so I didn’t realize how nice it feels! She definitely helped get rid of some of the knots in my back.
My husband’s didn’t include hot stones, but his masseuse did walk on his back.
Sure, when someone came through the door my masseuse had to stop and go answer it, but that’s ok.
For $ 45/​hour, this is a fantastic deal!
I highly recommend it and I’d definitely go back

What is with you pervy a** men? As I was happily relaxed getting my 90 minute massage from my favorite person, Tonya, I heard a weird exchange happening in the room next door. A dude apparently missed ALL the «NO SEX» and «NO HAPPY ENDING» signs.
I hope you sick (married) guys (yeah, that guy yesterday had a wedding band on) read this Unilocal review before traumatizing the poor girls at Keson. It’s a LEGIT massage spot okay? Stay away creeps!
