Bamboo Foot Relaxation

I’m so bummed to have to now give them a 2 star review as I’ve been a custom here for the past several years…
And I’ve always just rolled the ‘chat roulette massage dice’ on who I got with 8 times out of ten times it working out with lovely results…
…BUT about 7 mins into my latest one hour foot massage I found myself sooooo regretting never having written down any names of the many magical women who would literally walk on my back like a Cirque de Soiled performer.
This person just clearly didn’t know what she was doing… and after several attempts to kindly ask for what I wanted (more pressure in general) I gave up and hopelessly plotted out excuses in my head of how I could cut my losses short.
To no avail, I just chalked it up as a loss and took some of the blame for not ever having locked into someone.
But what has just turned me into a dude looking for a new go-​to $ 20 foot massage vowing never to return is THE TIP expectation!
As a customer I decided not to exercise my right not to tip (for context, I usually tip bet $ 5-​$ 10 on a $ 20 massage depending on satisfaction) which resulted in the front receptionist literally chasing after me in the parking lot to ask if I was going to tip my massager? After politely declining and explaining that I was not happy with the experience she looked at me with a quizzical look and huffle-​puffed back inside.
Oh my.
So I’m not saying don’t go… after all it really is a good value @ $ 20 for one hr foot massage that goes way beyond just your feet & legs… BUT make sure you find your person and stick with them.

Great food massage w michael.
Inexpensive at 20 plus 10 tip. Usual massages are over twice that without tip.
Place is clean and quiet.
Will be back.

I walked in yesterday afternoon without an appointment. I opted for the 30 min foot/​60 min body massage. For the foot massage, you are assigned to a recliner amongst others in the communal area and get a head, shoulder and foot massage. For the body massage, you go into a curtained private room (which could benefit from more heat for comfort and to loosen the muscles) to unrobe for a massage on a typical massage table. Although my therapist didn’t speak any English, he naturally pinpointed the problems areas in my shoulder and kneaded those out. He had a positive and natural healing energy. I will definitely go back. They have a $ 2 surcharge if paying with a cc.

Customers should be decided how much tip you!
NOT YOU! !
Even though massage was not great I tiped you 20% but you asked more. Ridiculous.

Love the ambiance and the way they run their business. I prefer this place over many of the other foot massages i’ve had. On the weekend definitely make an appointment. Also, if you use card there is an additional charge so try to bring cash.

First time coming to get a massage at this location. Very nice and extremely relaxing. Perfect amount of pressure, obvious that he knew what he was doing. I will definitely be recommending this location to friends and will be returning soon!

My husband and i got a foot massage here just now. After Black Friday shopping through Thursday and Friday, we definitely needed this! My legs were hurting from walking in the mall, My hands were hurting from carrying all the load, And my head was hurting thinking of the massive credit card statement to come! While they couldn’t do much to the credit card issues, except to add a little more to that pain, the rest of the pain is all taken care of. I feel invigorated. My masseuse was amazing. Used the right pressure from the get go, followed instructions, and had good skills. I also liked that the people working there didn’t keep chatting up.
I am writing this review while Mr. is still enjoying what remains of his 90 min massage. He has issues with his Achilles and the masseuse is doing a good job of focusing there. Hope he gets rid of his pains too.

I was in dire need of a massage as my back and neck was riddled with knots. I clearly had bigger issues because Peter was in disbelief at the state of my back. After diligently working on my back I walked away a much happier woman… Definitely will be back… Happy to find a place so close to home! :)

Hands down, one of the BEST massages I’ve ever had. Professional, incredible. Ask for the full body massage. Truly one of the BEST.

Hi, I visited this foot spa yesterday and received an hour long foot massage. The massage was very good, and at the end, I gave the guy who did it a $ 2 tip (it was all I had in cash) while the lady at the front rung me up. He took my money and walked over to the lady where they whispered together for a few moments. Then the lady told me «We usually ask for a $ 5 tip.» I’m sorry, but WHAT?! You don’t ask for a tip, period. It was extremely unprofessional, greedy, and embarrassing. I won’t be coming back.
I gave three stars, because the massage was really nice, but their demeanor and understanding was horrible.

I found this location on Unilocal and because of the positive reviews i said lets check this place out, i called i made an appointment when i got there one guy said follow me and as soon he start the massage i notice that he doesnt know what he is doing he was putting to much pressure on my head that i got bruises i said to myself its k maybe he will get better as we go omg he was hurting my body, honestly i couldnt stand the way he was giving massage and i said its k just stop i have to leave, the whole thing was 15 minutes, i went to talk with the lady at front desk she was the rudest lady i have ever seen, she said you dont know the way we give massage thats our way and she told me your wrong, and i told her i came here to relax not to get bruises, she told me you need to pay 10 dollars because u sat in our chair and you got service for 15 minutes i was so mad i didnt know what should i do .i just left the place and i had headache all night.
I dont recommend this place at all with 20 dollars there are much better places to go .you can get better service cleaner place and better customer service.
If you care for your body and your health dont even try this place its horrible.

My wife and I are addicted to getting massage. we get massage almost every month. I mean we can now understand the difference between a good massage or bad one. this one was horrible that my wife even couldn’t wait to the end. she stopped the masseur and walked out. she claimed that it was the worst one she has ever gotten.

Being a foot massage aficionado, Bay Area is heaven, there are so many foot spas littering almost every stripe malls throughout the South Bay. However, quality over quantity, despite the plethora of foot spas available, good ones are still a challenge to find.
I’ve acquired the passion for foot massage while I worked in China over ten years ago. Where the foot massage is really an art form. The pre-​soak, strength, pressure points, and even the lotions used are all fine tuned. Bamboo Foot Relaxation reminded me my favorite foot spas back in China. The massuses here are well versed with the pressure points and know just how much pressure to apply, they even provide feedbacks on my general health based on the tensions observed in my feet and address them accordingly. I find Bamboo to be just the right size, the facility is intimate, the staffs are attentive, and the owner lady is definitely wholeheartedly care about your experience. Two thumbs up!

I’ve been here a couple of times, but only recall my recent visit.
I took my boyfriend and he got a guy.
He was really pleased with his massage.
I got a woman and of the dozens of foot massage places I’ve visited, this experience was probably my least favorite.
She didn’t use very much pressure and rushed thru the massage.
It felt really half assed.

omg, this is the place!
I was taking body massage once a week, since sitting at front of computer all week long made my muscle sore and joint ache. One of my friend recommended this place to me so I decided to have a try, which was a huge surprise to me.
The girl at front desk is pretty and nice. She introduced almost all deals they had, and offered me several recommendations. I chose a combo with both foot and body massage.
The environment was nice and peace, and smelled good, which made me relaxed and comfortable. The room and bed was clean and tidy. Sheet was claimed disinfected.
The masseuse was nice and professional, based on my months massage experience. She did my necks, backs, arms, legs and front. She even did five minutes more than what I paid for.
The foot work was awesome as well, I like those flowers in the water.
So definitely I will come again, and I’ve already bought the promotion package, which was a good deal!

I have always had a thing for a proper foot and back massage, and I’ve had mixed experiences in the past. Found this Bamboo Foot Relaxation place on google on a Friday evening and looked up its reviews on Unilocal,and off I went. I was greeted by a very courteous young lady at the front desk, and after a couple of brief exchanges, I decided to go with the foot and body package. I was then led to a very clean and nicely decorated room. With my feet dipped in the hot water bucket and the light music played in the room, I was ready to go. The massage lady catered to my tolerance, had great techniques and an even better attitude! I think I even passed out for a little while during the session. lol. One hour later, I was totally refreshed and ready to carry on for the rest of the evening.
Make no mistake, people. This is the place to go if you enjoy a proper foot and back massage. All their therapists are licensed. That was some well spent 40 dollars. Thank you Bamboo Foot Relaxation! You have gotten yourself a repeat customer. I think I might try the 2-​hour ultimate package next time :)

This was my first experience, and it will surely not be my last!
Came in for a foot massage and got way more than what I expected.
The lady at the front desk is sweet and welcoming.
The environment is calm and soothing. Dark, cool, and quiet.
It smells wonderful in the place.
He took his time, worked my neck, head, shoulders, feet, legs and then flipped me over to massage the back of my legs and body.
Was firm, but I like that.
Also knew when to let up when I tensed, and adjusted the pressure.
Had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to try the full body massage even though this was already that!

My partner and I found this place by chance — and let me tell you, what a great find! We walked in and were able to be helped without making an appointment.
We were ushered to our massage seat/​tables and were quickly met by two female massage therapists. I have to say they did wonderful work (I ended up falling asleep!!)
If you are looking for a great massage at a decent price, Bamboo is the place for you! I look forward to visiting this place every time I’m in the area — it’s well worth the time and money!

3.5−4 STAR.
I’ve been to Bamboo Foot Relaxation a couple times now with my wife, and for the most part, we’ve had pretty decent massages. My benchmark are the massages we’ve had when we go to the Philippines, but of course it’s going to be cheaper and much better there in Southeast Asia. For instance, for a 90 minute massage in the Philippines, it costs about $ 10, and they go all out to make sure all the knots and aches in your body are wiped from existence. There are different standards here in the US, but it’ll have to do until we get back to the islands.
Bamboo Foot Relaxation is a very nice and clean massage parlor in San Jose. The manager who runs the joint is extremely nice. You can call ahead for a massage reservation time, which is what I recommend. If you get the foot massage, it lasts for one hour and only costs $ 20! They end up doing a full body massage for you, which is terrific. Depending on who you get as your masseuse, your massage can either be really intense or a little bit on the light side. The last time we went, my masseuse did a great job, but the lady who worked on my wife didn’t apply enough pressure.
As for the ambience itself, the lights are off at Bamboo, and it’s very relaxing. I have fallen asleep during my massage both times that we have visited. LOL. It’s ok though… they say that if you fall asleep, it is an indication that the massage is really good and relaxing. Either that, or I was just incredibly tired both times we have gone.
Anyway, $ 20 for an hour massage is a great deal. If you use credit card, they charge an extra dollar which is no biggie. Lastly, they have a stamp card at this location. Buy 6 massages, get 1 free!!! We have 4 stamps now. After our next visit (probably this weekend), we will have a free one that we can use… the only dilemma now is… who gets the free massage? Me or my wife? Dang, I think I already know who will win that discussion (hides in corner of room in shame).

Came by for a foot massage the other day and they were accommodating and I was the last one in at 9:40 pm.
The foot massage started off with a warm foot bath, and then moved on to a thorough head and scalp massage. It later moved on to a shoulder, arm and hand massage.
The next session was rather rushed with the foot and back massage. The total session lasted 65 minutes which was surprising.
They do accept credit cards with a $ 1 surcharge and had a promo for Buy 6 get 1 Free… even though I had to ask why my stamp card said Buy 10 get 1 free?!?
…I later found a scratch on my face… from the masseuse’s nails (Maybe she should wear gloves?)
