Happy Feet Foot Massage

If you aren’t looking for fancy and just want a great massage, this is the place to go… I absolutely love this place.
I have had at least 10 table massages here (I have also had their chair massages) and they have all been AMAZING!
I am a lady who has been to the Pfister and Aveda in Milwaukee multiple times for deep tissue massages and have never left fully satisfied.
At Happy Foot I don’t even need to ask for deep tissue. I always get an hour massage and they work their booties off the WHOLE time (they even get up on the table. its amazing!). They really get in there and work out everything.
Like I mentioned, It’s not super fancy. They only have curtained off rooms so sometimes if its busy you can hear people quietly talking or giggling while they are getting foot massages… but most likely you will be enjoying your amazing massage and the sound of someone else’s joy wont upset you.
Staff is always super sweet and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get a massage.

The massage hurt! I was secretly crying inside but kept telling myself to tough it out b/​c I know I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. I also did the foot/​reflexology. It was a gift or I would not have returned. The best part was the rubbing of my scalp. The girl then pinched the bridge of my nose-​some pressure point I am sure. I didn’t look, but also experienced a painful sensation with digging on my feet. I don’t know if it was the girls’ hands or a tool she used, but it wasn’t pleasant.

I believe this place is actually called Happy Foot Palace, and is inside Mayfair Mall.
I really wanted to like this place. I have walked past it dozens of times, and have often been captivated by the reflexology posters in the windows.
I wanted to like this place, but I don’t. I don’t think I’d go back.
I opted for a 40 minute foot massage ($ 35), instead of the 20 minute ($ 26), figuring $ 9 more for 20 minutes, was worth it since I had the time. First of all, no one that I interacted with actually spoke English. I pointed to the service I wanted on the menu, which was fine, and went to sit down.
The masseuse got a tub of tepid water, that I assume was supposed to be warmer, and left me to have my feet soak for 8 minutes. It was unclear to me if this was part of the 40 minutes or not. If so, I was not that pleased.
She came back after 8 minutes, and started rubbing my feet and calves with lotion. It was fine, but not amazing. She did this weird thing where she sort of dug her nails into the tips of my toes… sort of a peculiar sensation.
I also asked for more pressure after about 10 minutes, because, I feel that I can have anyone just rub my feet. If I’m paying for a professional, I expect a professional quality.
After 40 minutes, maybe I felt a tad more relaxed, but did she actually aid any tension in my feet? for $ 40 (with tip), I think not.
Also, I went to pay with a credit card after, since there was no indication that that wasn’t acceptable (it’s the mall, for crying out loud), and she stuttered out the letters «A…T…M»
Sort of annoying. Pretty disappointed. They may provide better services for their chair massages, so I wouldn’t totally write it off, if you’re in the mall and have some time to kill, but their «foot massage» is definitely not reflexology, or anything that special.
