Meritouch

Got a quick 20 minassage. It was great. My neck and shoulders felt a lot better after thr knots are being worked out. And they accept credit cards! Will definitely be back!

Coming from out of town for the weekend and looking for a day spa where I could enjoy a massage as I was having a lot of knots in my back and neck… called 8 places and none had same day appointment. Saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a go as I was very sore. What a deal! Didn’t need to undress, just walked in and sat on the chair! 30 minutes for $ 28 and it was one of the best massage I ever received. My knots, my pain, my headache were all gone! Fantastic deal!

I was SO skeptical, but all the Unilocal reviews convinced me to give it a try. I had crazy back pain after a cross-​country flight and family illness. I’m definitely feeling a difference, and I’ll be back.
This place is tucked away on the third floor of Westfield Mall – it’s directly above the main food court. I had less than a minute of wait time. I took a look at the prices and within 30 seconds a man who had been checking his phone on some down time asked if I was looking for a massage. I said yes and he led me to an empty chair and put down a paper towel over the face rest. I asked him for light pressure. Let me tell you – it wasn’t light. But it also wasn’t too much. Once when I got a little tense under the pressure he stopped and asked if I was okay, which I appreciated. It’s no-​frills, but the service was a lot more friendly than I expected from a mall kiosk. I only went for 20 minutes to try it out; it was $ 21, and I tipped $ 4. It’s been about a week and my back pain has definitely decreased. Since it’s so affordable I’m thinking of making it a standing tradition every other week before I go to therapy down the street.

I waited for a massage for 15 minutes, with no one else around. When it was my turn for a massage, an Asian person walked up and their staff took her before me– without any explanation. When I asked for clarity, all of a sudden no one on their staff knew how to speak English– it was so convenient.
This company is in dire need of a sign-​up sheet because without one, their policy for accepting the next customer seems to be a bit discriminatory.

I will echo the praise of others and say I am now a big fan and will be going back regularly. I used to see a private masseur, and it was often a hassle to make an appointment, and then be obliged to lie there for a solid hour when all I wanted was a neck and shoulder rub. Meritouch is by walk-​in and you choose how much time you need. Great prices, short wait, excellent technique. I felt so much better after he was done, all my aches gone. The only concern I have is if the masseurs clean their hands in between clients. They are not a store, but a kind of kiosk in the open, with no bathroom of their own. Maybe he used hand sanitizer — I would be fine with just that, and will watch next time I go.

The idea of a massage day is always great, but something I never end up doing. Too much money, commitment, time, etc.
But as a dancer, runner, waitress, and overall an active person, my body goes through a lot.
A bit of yoga, stretching, and advil usually helps get through some big aches, but there was a morning where I woke up where I could barely move my neck.
Still needing to go about my day and be productive, I was desperate for a solution. I instantly thought of those mall masseuses and decided to look one up.
Getting a massage at the mall always made me crack up a bit. It’s on the same level as people getting their teeth cleaned. It’s like, really?
But now I am a believer.
Luckily, Meritouch is located on the third level (by the Bloomingdale’s side), closer to quieter stores. It actually feels a bit isolated from the crowd.
After being harassed by a woman who insulted my hair (she was trying to sell curling irons and I yelled back at her. I can barely turn my neck! Obviously I didn’t do my hair that morning), I walked up and was seen right away. I opted for a 20 minute session.
Right away, he found the large knots in my neck and shoulders and started kneading away. I can’t even describe how good it felt to slowly iron out all the kinks.
In 20 minutes, he massaged from the top of my head, to my arms and hands, all the way down to my calves. He went back to my neck one more time as my session ended.
It took a few minutes to shake out and come back to my senses.
After paying and tipping, I sat down on a bench just to stretch a bit and was very happy to see that I was able to turn my neck around and rotate my shoulders.
In 30 minutes, I was in and out and on with my day. No more stiff neck! If you need a stress reliever that won’t impeded on your busy schedule, I recommend doing this!

These guys are excellent! They have 4 massage chairs set up on the 3^rd floor of the Westfield Mall (on the Bloomingdale’s side). I’m normally wary of these places, because they’re not the typical lie-​down massages and I didn’t think good massages could be gotten from chair massages, but I was really wrong.
I work nearby and was experiencing some major neck/​shoulder/​back pain, so my coworker and I decided to try this place out, since their prices are very reasonable (about $ 1/​minute). Now are come here regularly, once to twice per week. I’ve tried all of the masseuses, and they’re all very good.
Their style is the deep-​tissue kind with heavier pressure, which I love. They really loosen up the muscle knots and you can feel a difference right after. I can stand straighter and my shoulders aren’t hunched over as much. My coworker, who likes a bit lighter pressure, also loves this place. They really get the job done here.
I also like the fact that they focus on the problem areas (neck, back, and shoulders). For office workers, these are really the only areas that need massaging (while leg massages feel great, I never notice any difference afterwards). I’ve stopped going to my regular lie-​down massages because these weekly chair massages are all I need.
No appointments necessary. Just walk on by. I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so.

Busy and not great customer service. The massage was drool-​worthy and decently priced

This place was amazing! Very affordable and loosened everything up in 20 minutes. These guys are very talented.

Thank goodness Meritouch exists. My shoulders and neck were extremely tense and sore, making the work day a complete drag and really painful.
However, I moseyed my way over to Meritouch in Westfield mall (3^rd floor and to the left of the escalator on the Nordstrom side) and got the best neck, shoulder, and mini-​back massage ever. I simply walked right up and while 3 out of 4 chairs were taken, there was one for me. You simply tell the masseuse how many minutes you’re looking for, they lay a paper towel cover down on the chair, and get to work!
The masseuse used firm pressure that worked out every last bit of tension and knots that were in my shoulders and neck. Yes, it was painful, but those knots were tight! I asked for 20 minutes and it felt like an eternity — of heaven.
I am definitely coming back. Inexpensive, but GREAT massages and a central location right on Market Street and close to the office!

Location note: Meritouch is at K29, which is 3^rd floor of Westfield, left & around the corner from the up escalators.
I was having a lot of neck & head pain so I stopped by Meritouch. Wow, what an excellent massage! I have gotten a lot of massages in my life and this ranks as one of the best ever. In just 20 minutes, the masseuse was able to undo what was going wrong in my neck/​shoulders/​head with perfect pressure and technique. And for the value, ($ 21 for 20 minutes) I was impressed by the quality. It also felt much longer than 20 minutes and the massage made me forget where I was it was so effective! I will definitely come back to Meritouch on a lunch break or after work when I need it. I wish I got the name of my masseuse, he was a gentleman around 5’9, hope that he’s there next time I stop by.

After showing up and waiting at most 5 minutes, you’re seated and someone is working through the knots in your upper and lower back — best use of ~$ 20 and ~20 min. Perfect after a long day sitting in a chair and before running mundane shopping errands. it’s hard not to love Meritouch.
I haven’t gotten the chance to know any of the masseurs /​masseuses /​therapists by name, but I’ve heard rumors that the guy who goes by «Wong» is a superstar.
One thing to watch out for, their chairs are a little old, and sometimes the padding moves in such a way that you might find the metal structure support of the chair a little too close to your face — usually not a problem because you can ask them to re-​adjust
Pros:
+ no appointments /​commitment
+ little to no wait
+ great location
+ fantabulous price
+ great impulse spend
Cons:
— older chairs with shoddy padding

This is for the Meritouch at Westfield Mall — really great place. I did a 15 min massage here. No wait. No advance appointment. I gave a nice tip. They did the upper back and the neck and shoulders. Its on the 3^rd floor.

Great chair massage therapy. Very convenient to get to and no appointments needed.

If you’re after a quick but good massage this is the place for you. I’ve been struggling with hip pain & sen hit the spot.

Great massage!

After a long, arduous day of eating and shopping we decided to stop at Meritouch. It is not an actual store, rather out in the open in a less busy area of the mall.
30 minutes is $ 28. My shoulder knots are gone. I like firm pressure and had to ask for it to be firmer.

Now why all the Chinese massage places in San Francisco or anywhere in the world can’t be as professional as Meritouch?
For quick fix, quick massage and CHEAp this place deserves more than 5 stars!
They keep the whole entire service quite and not talking to each other.
It’s not as nice as getting massage at the day spa in a private and quiet room but it’s decent enough.
Great massage, cheap and they are all professional and wearing uniforms.

No appointment. Every masseuse has a grip like a lumberjack. Perfect. I come here every 1 – 2 weeks whenever I feel the tension in my neck and shoulders. I used to see a massage therapist at a spa but it was always a hassle calling for an appointment then having to reschedule or cancel when life intervened. Now, I take BART into the mall and go up 3 flights of escalators to heaven.

Massage is one of the few things that makes me sad in the US. If you only know how much I love it, you’d know how much it pains me. I can’t get this often here of course ’cause it’s expensive. I can’t even get a massage once a month or even once every three months! It’s more like once a year. Ugh, sucks!
I really needed one lately ’cause my neck and back had been hurting. After having a big lunch in the mall, I was feeling a bit sleepy and just want to relax. I walked around the 3^rd floor and bump into this:
10 mins — $ 12 30 mins — $ 28
15 mins — $ 16 45 mins — $ 42
20 mins — $ 21 60 mins — $ 55
Hells yes! You get your massage on a massage chair in public but I’d rather do that than be naked in private with a stranger! The guy did a good job taking away all my neck and back pain! That is all I care about!
