Massage Envy – Whittier

Angelica is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever experienced that I now go every week! She has over 15 plus years of experience and it shows through all the various techniques she varies throughout the session. Angelica has saved me hundreds from pain medicine and doctor appointments from chronic pain. I was hesitant on writing this because I didn’t want anyone to take up time slots, but I just book months ahead of time now. Secondly, I have to give a shout out to the girls who work the front desk! They are always so professional, welcoming, and patient. They do such a great job talking with you but also getting you in and out quickly. Plus, I love that they always remember me. Great location!!!

I want to give Shout out to my girl Anabel! Man, did I miss you! You were everything I needed tonight! I feel like if I praise you too much you will become even more popular than you already are. You are a very good masseuse & I Thank you so much for your consistent technique & professionalism:

I had my first Massage in Whittier with Phung and it was awesome very nice and professional she was very tentative to my needs her had pressure was great on my back. Massage Envy in Whittier was very welcoming, I will definitely be going back…

I just had a great deep massage with Corrine, and it was wonderful. Corrine was nice and professional and really worked out those knots. I will definitely be going back to her again.

This has to be the best massage envy!
I have a membership with massage envy and I’m originally from the HB location in Orange County. I had a big state board exam in Whittier so I decided to get a massage the night before. I called within two hours of driving up there and they were able to fit me in on the books! The gentlemen (I think his name is Kevin, I’m not quite sure though, sorry!) I was paired with gave me the best massage of my life! All my knots were completely gone by the time our session was finished. I wish this location was more local so I could come back :(

The massage therapists are great. The waiting area is relaxing. The front staff is very helpful. I got two complaints, 1^st– I had so many issues with my membership not being found in their system. They had to keep calling other office for my membership confirmation. 2^nd– issue is, the hour massages are actually 45 mins. They start late and end early. I had 90 minute massages and they were actually 65 minutes. I recently had a 2 hour massage and it was short by 15 minutes..

I was completely satisfied with the massage I received at Massage Envy. What might keep me from returning is that they really tried to sell their membership once my massage was done and I was checking out (which kind of harshes the mellow after a massage!). I’d prefer to keep going to Burke Williams where I can hang out a while and not be sold something…

Bella is magical! My stress just melted away with her massage. She had just the right amount of pressure to work down my tension. I’ve had «deep tissue» and «sports» massages before; that’s not what I was looking for this time. I’ve been under a lot of stress and just wanted to escape my tension for a while. Thank you, Bella! YOU ROCK!
Also, a shout out to Angie (? … I don’t recall names well … sorry) and Christian working the front desk! The staff was very courteous, friendly and professional. I originally booked my massage at the Brea location, but due to a sick staff member, I had to be rerouted to Whittier … WOOHOO! My win! I became a member and I’ll definitely be back to Whittier. A great team is a good indication of good leadership too! Kudos to the whole team at Massage Envy Spa — Whittier! Thank you!

Love coming here. Everyone is warm and welcoming. I always see Anjelica… She’s the best and knows where my tight spots are. I missed a few months, so I’m able to book a 90 minute massage session each month, which is the way to go!!!

I got a gift card for my bday for I went in for a facial. The girl helping me suggested the acne facial so that’s what I got. I understood that my face will break out after the facial. Well it’s been since March and my acne has got so much worse than it was. I’m pretty sad by it. I do have to say the process trying to leave the building is really overwhelming as well. It’s kind of like one of the infomercials, the poor cashier is trying you to buy all these things and you keep saying no and she’s basically saying «but what there’s more». The dermatologist was professional even though she stated she didn’t want that as a career. My face is broken out of bad my self esteem has lowered greatly. And the prices are high, they think their that much greater then the surrounding spas

First time going to any Massage Envy locations. I called in the morning for the La Habra location and although informative a little rude. Later that night around 4:45pm I called the Whittier location which I am glad I did. Made an appointment for 2– 1hr massages. I ended up getting Annissa who has magical hands that heal. I asked for a medium/​deep massage and that’s exactly what I got. She made sure I was ok and was very professional. She advised me to come back and I ended up signing up for 1yr worth of massages. I’ll be sure to book with Annissa again! The environment was clean and very calming. The staff was very nice, approachable, professional and courteous. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a light relaxing massage or someone whose looking to get those knots out… this is the place to go!

This is my first review for any establishment.
I just wanted to post the gross disservice that this location had provided me. I normally am satisfied from services rendered from any type of service, even if the services rendered are sub par. What I had experienced is straight out ridiculous.
I came in about 15 minutes early for my appointment, as requested. They then asked me to have a seat in their tranquility room and wait for the therapist to take me back to one of the rooms. At the time of my appointment, the therapist was still not available. I then proceeded to ask for the restrooms, so they can be aware that I have not been assisted.
Again, I tried to be courteous. I waited another 15 minutes, still no therapist. I ask the front desk for an update and they start acting and talking as if they had no idea I was in their waiting area. I was the only one in the area the whole time I was waiting. A lady comes out of the back office area to speak to me. She then proceeds to offer me another appointment at a later time. I declined at this time. She then proceeds to inform me that they will schedule me for a different date. I, again, declined.
This was the worst experience I have had at any establishment. Let me reiterate, «the worst of any and all».
The facility did not accept the fact that I have wasted 40 minutes of my life waiting in their waiting area. There was a person that stepped out from the back office area who was in business attire, which I thought would help resolve this issue. To my disappointment, this person, most likely a manager, just stepped out of the building to talk on her phone. It seems like the personal phone call was more important than customer service.
I don’t understand why this company or this location would not just accept the error. They instead opted to just put no importance to the experience that a member had. No accountability. No respect.
After a few back and forth, at this point I am very frustrated, they decided to compensate with a 30 minutes complementary massage. Which I hope is valid in all locations because I will never return to this location again. After about 45 minutes in the location, I left without any service rendered. I took with me frustration and emotional stress which is the complete opposite of what I have come in to massage envy for.
Thank you for wasting my time.

I’ve found two new individuals with angel hands, Corrine and Jazmin! Both have been amazing with my prenatal massages. I book 1:30 sessions because it feels so nice to be pampered. Ladies, if you’re feeling pregnancy blues and everything is starting to hurt, make the appointment. So worth it!!!

Came here for a prenatal massage well into my 3^rd trimester and it was JUST what I needed! Booking the appointment was easy and the front desk gals are very friendly and professional. When I arrived, every staff person I came into contact with was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere of the place is very calm and relaxing. They have a very nice waiting area that sets a relaxing mood before you even start.
My masseuse Edith (almost positive that’s her name) was so great. She was extra careful to make sure that everything she was doing was safe for my pregnancy and I appreciated that extra level of care. The massage bed was SO comfortable. A heated blanket combined with soft pillows made me never want to get up!
The massage itself was so soothing and relaxing. I laid on each side with pillows while Edith focused on my shoulders, back, and legs. She did try to massage my head, which I dislike, but she stopped as soon as I told her that I didn’t like head massages. Good communication! The amount of pressure during the massage was perfect and I was in a total state of relaxation. I felt amazing for the rest of the day!
A prenatal massage is not the end all cure for your pregnancy aches and pains. Of course the pain and discomfort will come back, but the rest of the day and the next morning I still felt much better than most days. I highly recommend if you just need some relief from your pregnancy symptoms and a little bit of pampering.
Of course they try to sell you a membership, but I didn’t feel like they were pushy at all. I just said No and they moved on. At least for pregnant women, I recommend checking this place out!

Let me start off by saying that I «accidentally» signed myself up for a 1-​year contract after my first massage at the Whittier location. The appointment had been a gift from my sister, who was a member at the time, and it also happened to be my first massage ever. It was an incredible experience! The massage itself was very relaxing and luxurious. However, as I was checking out I started to feel lightheaded and slightly dizzy. I was told to drink a lot of water.
Since it was my first time, I was offered a family add-​on membership for 49.99 $ a month for one year. It sounded like a great deal. In my lightheaded post-​massage dream-​state, I signed the contract without realizing I would become contractually obligated to pay them every month, regardless of whether I chose to get a massage or not, for an entire year ($ 600 unless I was able to provide a doctor’s note saying I was medically excused from getting massages). At the time I signed it, I thought I would be able to cancel at any time.
Looking back, it makes sense that I would have to agree to the entire year to get a deal. However, it wasn’t explicitly stated to me that I would be obliged by contract to pay for an entire year.
Indeed, after I realized what I had done, I called in to freeze my account, because I couldn’t afford to pay the extra $ 50 over the holidays. It is nice that they offer this option should you find yourself in financial hardship; you can freeze your account for up to 6 months at a time– during which you cannot use their services but also do not have to pay the monthly fee.
It has now been over a year and a half since my first massage at this location and I choose to stay a member even though I have paid out my contract. I still find it relatively pricey, but this is a luxury I definitely prioritize for myself.
Over the past year and a half, I find that I am more relaxed on a day-​to-​day basis, my posture is better, and my mood improves substantially whenever I know my massage is coming up.
The waiting area is dimly lit and they always offer cucumber or lemon water. I usually book with Chris, who gives great relaxing massages, or Christine, who has been very helpful with my tension headaches.
The massage rooms are private, softly lit, perfect temperature, and very clean. They also leave chocolate mints on the pillow. My 50 minute session flies by and I’m never ready to leave. Every masseuse I’ve gotten over the months has been very attentive to my needs, and makes sure I’m happy with the pressure/​overall structure of the massage. Soft music plays in the background throughout the entirety of the massage, how I wish I were there now.
I went in for my first facial recently with Vanessa and had a great experience. In just one session, I learned a lot about the state of my skin and my missteps in my skincare routine. Although they recommended a total of $ 140 in skincare products for me, I left with a $ 40 package that covers all the basics. I’ll definitely be alternating my monthly visits with facials and massages from now on.
Although I became a member without the terms being clearly communicated to me, I am very satisfied with the quality of the services I receive at Massage Envy. I plan to remain a member for the foreseeable future and knowing that I’ll be back soon makes me very happy. :)

I’m 8.5 months pregnant and my sister who is a member was kind enough to transfer her monthly massage over to me so I can enjoy a prenatal massage.
First off, the place is very clean and staff was very nice and friendly. I was scheduled to have my massage with Marilyn. She was sweet and nice. She did push just a little for me to become a member, mainly at the start of the massage but did not continue and did let me enjoy the massage. I’m sure all the masseuses make their little pitches to non-​member customers. Its their job so can’t hate on that.
My massage was good. Marilyn did well and it felt very nice. However, afterwards that night, I did feel like the massage «wore off». Like it was just a pleasure for the moment. I felt like those same trouble areas and knots on my back were still there when I was relaxing at home that same evening. It is now the morning after and I’m sitting here writing this review wishing I could get someone to rub my shoulders where my knots are at.
As any pregnant or previously pregnant woman knows, carrying all that weight causes a lot of strain on your body. I wish my massage yesterday could have been a bit more therapeutic rather than just pleasure for the moment. Like I wish the massage could have really gotten rid of these painful knots I have… maybe it was my fault and should have asked for more pressure.
After the massage, they staff tried to sell me the membership, which again, I couldn’t be mad at because that is their job. Unfortunately, I was not able to sign-​up right than and there. But I just told them that and they are okay with it and aren’t super pushy. Just be prepared for that if you get a service and are not a member. I do wish I could have signed up because they do have great deals. So if you personally can and like the services, why not sign-​up.

I asked for deep tissue with someone who knows sports massage … they gave me Maryann and she paved at me like she was tenderizing beef! I was nauseous from circular rubbing she did so I was trying not to puke the whole time. two days later I still have a massive pain in my leg muscle went to Dr and I’m on bed rest for 3 days with stretches to repair damage she did.
she might do fine for someone else but that was possibly the worst massage I have ever had. I’ve had bad massages but she’s the only one who sent me to the Dr and had me put on bed rest.

This review is specifically for Marissa who offers facials at this location.
First I’ve had two facials massage envy locations in the past that were less than stellar so I didn’t go back. The previous person I saw at this location had a sour vibe so I was glad she wasn’t there anymore… I had prepaids and wanted to use them instead of going to my usual expensive facial place…
I can be at skincare nerd and I could tell that Marissa had the same passion
I will definitely be back next month for another facial with Marissa I feel like she is knowledgeable and very passionate about helping people’s skincare needs. She will make product suggestions but that is part of any skincare facial experience… She isn’t pushy. She made recommendations for my skin’s next session which I agreed with…

I went to Massage Envy for the first time in Brea with some friends a few years ago. It was the best massage I’ve ever had. No other massage has ever compared. They didn’t try to sell my anything back then but fast forward 4 years…
I saw Massage Envy popped up in Whittier and couldn’t stop thinking about the massage I had a few years back. I decided to give this location a try since it’s convenient and was already thinking about possibly joining the membership for the sake of making my back feel better. The verdict? Yes, I signed up for membership. I got a 2 hour hot stone massage and it was again «the best massage i have ever had». When I checked out, i received excellent customer service. I was sold after a good experience and hearing that the cost is covered with HSA. I’ve been back 1x since then… I booked the same therapist and it’s consistent… «the best massage i have ever had».
3 massages at Massage Envy so far — all male therapists, all booked on a weekday evening. I asked for medium/​deep pressure and that is what I got. They focus on what you want then to do. Ask for Jose.
As far as online booking goes, it sucks. I’ve tried to book 3x online. The first time, I got an immediate call back. The other 2x, i never got a call. Instead, call and book your appointment directly with the actual location.
