Level 2 Massage

Very good place to get a real relaxing massage. I enjoyed my experience here and will be a return customer.

This place SUCKS. The message was okay and then when it was finished this rude lady demands me to give her a $ 20 tip. Do Not waste your time going to this place. You go in there thinking it’s great and when you walk out you will never return. Don’t waste your time with this place!!!

My husband and I went there for a couple’s massage. It was just okay. The two ladies talked quite a bit to each other and had their phone go off 2 times. Although it was a cheap massage, I would rather pay more for quality. Then to top it off, my husband and I tipped 20% and they told us it was not enough. When I said, «really 20% isn’t good?» They responded it’s different from when you go to a restaurant. I felt uncomfortable and gave more. Once my husband and I reached the car, we could not believe the lack of professionalism! I was SO shocked that I went on Unilocal to see if it was only our experience but apparently not. Also we were asked to pay more since we used a credit card. PLEASE do not go to this place! They do not deserve business!

Jennifer is no longer at Level 2… she has opened her own therapeutic massage spa in Banker’s Hill. It is Eden Therapy.

Wow! Great location, beautiful atmosphere, incredible massage therapist. I’m glad I ended up at 2^nd Level. My massage therapist, Lina, was great! She was very attentive to my body. She could tell where I was sore and she really worked those areas. Her touch started off light, but then she really got after my muscles and where I was feeling sore. I got the full treatment … She went after me with fingers, elbows, and feet! I felt much better and far looser when I arrived! Lina was very attentive and I look forward to many more massages with her. By the way … For those of you that are afraid to pay up front, you have nothing to worry about with 2^nd Level Massage, I highly recommend it. I read some of the negative reviews and to be honest, I’m not sure what they had to deal with, because my experience was top notch from the time you walked through the door. I really look forward to my next massage with a Lina!

RUN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Absolutely horrid experience… have never been so ticked off after a semi-​relaxing massage.
Before you say that I didn’t give them a chance, this was my second visit. The first visit was quite pleasant and they were extremely welcoming. I tipped decently since my girl was awesome. Reading some of the reviews, I think others may have gotten nice girls before there too.
But the second time– incredibly awful. First, the girl just scurried down the dim hallway, I had to double-​time it to catch up with her. Then she just pointed into the room saying «Here’s my room». No talk about what to do or what I needed work on. I feel completely rushed so I quickly change and get on the table. The sheet wasn’t even unfolded and it was tinier compared to most places! Plus the room was kinda cold as well, but I figured I’d just deal with it. I had just gotten a massage the week prior at a high-​end spa in Santa Monica so I got the original kinks out. I was basically there again because I felt I slept wrong the night before.
So anyways, the massage went alright. Not the best but again, she worked on my neck and shoulders to get the knots out well. What I didn’t like was that the walls were pretty thin (and my room was towards the center of the suite). You can hear loud cars and Harleys as they pass by. Not the most relaxing experience. She did use a good amount of oil which I was happy about.
Then, when it came to the end, she mumbled something about being done and getting water. I took this as my cue to get up and start dressing. As I’m half-​naked, there’s a knock on the door and she comes back into the room with a small cup of water (even though I said I was changing). She sets the water down as I’m changing and proceeds to strip the bed of the sheets. I’ve started to put on my watch when she looks at me and I’m thinking I need to leave as maybe she has another client waiting or something. So I don’t put the rest of my things on and start to walk toward the door. She then says «You pay me now, tip». Ummm, okay… but I need change first which I tell her. She then says, «I get you change, how much you want?». I say, well can you please break this $ 10 for me. She then demands, how much is tip? I say $ 8 (which given the fact it’s a $ 40 hour massage, a 20% tip is not too bad), so please give me back $ 2. She then says, «No, most people tip $ 20». I said no, that’s 20%. We go back and forth and finally I just let her have $ 10 knowing I will never come back here again.
I meet my friend in the hallway and we give each other a look. Unfortunately her therapist gave her the same scam but didn’t give her back her $ 20 and she ended up getting bullied to leaving her the full amount– a $ 20 tip. SERIOUSLY!!! That’s 50% and to DEMAND it?! It’s one thing if I think you’re an absolute rock star at what you do and I think you deserve more than 20% (hell, people usually give only 10−15%), but to block a person from leaving the room until they give you a 50% tip. THAT’S RIDONKULOUS!!!
Now reading some of the reviews, I wonder if the two girls took one look at us and said «Ugh» since we were just two girls. If we had been any of these frequent male customers who tip generously, we may have gotten better service or hell, a friendly hello or handshake with their name. Or maybe it was because last time we went mid-​week and this was during a weekend. Those weekend girls need to understand this is not to do business or treat others in any way. If the girls are expecting $ 20 tip, then they need to tell their management to raise their prices and give it directly to the girls. Seems like such a tax scam as well since tip is only handled in cash.
What an awful place, run the hell away!!!

This is definitely a top notch massage spa; very clean and beautifully maintained. I frequently travel to San Diego for work and have been looking for a massage shop where I can get a good massage and stress relief before driving back to LA. I tried several shops in the Convoy area that were so-​so at best before I found Level 2. When I went to Level 2 for the first time a few months ago, I finally got an excellent massage. I’ve been going back ever since for the combo deep tissue-​Swedish massage, followed by a table shower that is totally relaxing. The bathroom and shower rooms are very clean, and the towels are fluffy and clean, so there are no worries about picking up a rash or other skin condition like at other places (yikes!)
The massage therapists are Chinese and are very skilled. Tiffany and Keke are both excellent and do a good job working out muscle tension and kinks in my body. The other therapists are good too; all look to be in their 20’s or 30’s and really know how to do a good massage. I usually go in around 5 or 6 pm and never had to wait. The $ 60 for 90 minute massage is a great deal. Hint: If you tip fairly and are not a tightwad, you will be rewarded with very good service on return visits.
They have a lot of therapists and private rooms with doors (not curtains), so there is never a problem with overhearing talk from other rooms. The therapists speak pretty good English which helps, and the receptionist speaks very good English and is fun to talk to before and after the massages.

This place sucks! The lady is rude & demands tip of $ 20!!! She reminds me of the old Asian lady in the movie «Menace 2 Society» when the rude annoying old middle age Asian lady says «Hurry up & Buy» I Feel sorry FO Yo mother!” This place is horrible please save your $ & don’t go! I rather have Captain HOOK massage me!

Bad experience! Won’t come back again~ save ur money～

Went there recently with a friend. The only experience i can describe this place is Horrible!!! The masseuse didn’t apply any pressure even though it was suppose to be a deep tissue massage. I almost wanted to leave during my massage because I felt like I was wasting my time. After the massage the girl pressured and asked for tip. She said it customary to give a $ 20 tip. What a bunch of BS. I was shocked to hear that. I was going to give a tip even though the massage was horrible. My buddy told me that same thing after his massage. Avoid this place like the plague. Don’t waste your money or time.

After driving almost 4.5hrs homing home from camping at Joshua Tree, I stopped here to get a much needed message. Visit started off great. Room was well lit and the lady, Helen seemed nice. While I’m trying to relax she starts in on upgrading to 90 minutes, over and over and again at the end of the message. I told her that I would take another 30 min and added to put a tip on it! She proceeded to tell me what to tip her and what she felt she deserved! And after I said, «You know, I’m just leaving and don’t want the message extension», she proceed to he pissed about the $ 20 tip that she did not deserve. I’ve been in the hospitality industry for 20 plus years. I will never go back to an establishment that demands what they deserve in tips! Your choice Unilocalers!

I am their regular customer. I have the minor back pain and a lot of stress due to work. Their massage really helps me relieve the pain and the stress. Yes, it is true that the masseuse expects a $ 15-​$ 20 tip for a one hour body massage there. I think it is because the price of the massage only is only $ 40 and the masseuse relies more on the tip. I like deep tissue massage and they can maintain a good quality of massage with a fair price. If I go to the other spa, I might need to spend $ 80 or more for a good deep tissue massage. Therefore, I think it is a good deal to me.

Should have read reviews before coming here, all I am going to say. I was disappointed, be prepared to tip good

One of my favorite places I go to for a great massage. I’ve tried several of their masseuses and some are better than others, I just like some techniques better during the session. When I’m getting the massage, I tell them what feels good and they spend more time on that area or if I don’t like it I tell them such. I usually tip $ 15 – 20 when getting a full hour, sometimes a little more if they really work hard at working my body. They remember if your generous and the massages even get better on future visits. The place is clean and always plenty of parking which is a plus.

this place sucks, they demand a $ 20+ tip … very unprofessional

I should have read the reviews, place sucked. First they want to charge you extra for a credit card. Then the bathroom smelled like death took a shit, clearly plumbing problems. Then the massage was weak and i was freezing the whole time. They say the building was old, which is why i had to freeze. Then they pressure you for an exorbitant tip. I go to the front desk after to pleasantly explain my dissattisfaction. She then stares at me vacantly for 10 seconds as if she can no longer speak english. Very bad experience. If she offers to give me anything, it would have felt better… the way it was I felt like I was robbed. Ill never go again, theres 10 better places not that far away.

Massage was absolute crap felt like she was just spraying oil on me and just brushing it around. Hands down the worst massage I ever had. Tipped the misuse anyways and get this SHE DEMANDS I TIP HER AT LEAST $ 20 when I refuse she stars jumping up and down in a childlike tantrum and calling me stupid in broken English! And demanding I hurry up and leave.
Save your money and go somewhere else if you want a good massage this place has horrible service and horrible massages period.

My back was sore after playing tennis, and I heard this place is good if you want a legit chinese style massage, so I made an appt. last saturday. $ 40 bucks for an hour. They only offer body massage here, no foot massage or any other combo. I requested a hard massage which included walking on the back. Therapist was awesome… took her time and made sure I was happy. Walked on my back and stretched me out. $ 40 an hour is a great deal for a good massage, so keep in mind because their prices are so low if your therapist does a good job a $ 20 tip is standard. If you tip $ 10, you are under tipping. Your therapist WILL be mad if she does a great job and you tip $ 10. Front desk was nice and my therapist spoke enough english to understand what I was saying. My back felt much better afterwards, Level 2 and Lotus are my favorite massage spots on Convoy.

DO NOT GO THERE!!! Went there during lunch. The massage was OK at best by TIFFANY and when I tipped her she said «everybody tip $ 20», I said I gave you 25% and she yellEd at me twice. «you don’t come back no more». I stopped at the front desk and told them what she said and they laughed. Then I heard her say «don’t come back «again. DO NOT GO

Here’s a tip: You will Thank me for saving your money.
Front desk — not friendly and barely speak english
Bed and room — cold
Therapist — Never smile, did not asked for pressure points, and seems like rushing the service even though requested 90mins.
To end the note; I haven’t reached my pocket for tips, well it was a disappointing massage but as I about to put my shoes on, she asked me for her tip and demanding $ 20 tips. ??? What was her deal? She expects me to give her gratuity but she provided me the most annoying, unsatisfying and rushed massage ever?
My 11 year old nephew can give better foot massages than her and I am happily give him $ 25 tip. lol Overall Do not go here.
HAHAHAH!
