Massage Heights is a local business offering massage services. They closed their Davis branch in 2017, and some of the staff moved to the Woodland location.

2014-03-06 16:21:21   I am going to start out by saying that I have been a member here for a little over 10 months . The location is excellent and the staff is very helpful. The heated massage beds are awesome and the place is always clean. I just renewed my membership for another 6 months. The massage therapists range in experience. I have tried 5 different therapists and really love Lily and Hope. Lily has a nursing background and really makes sure every part of the body is covered. She gives an excellent face and shoulder massage. She is very accommodating and a pleasure to talk to. She really understands how the muscles, body, joints, and bones function . She will also add on awesome elevations like a free foot scrub or cold stone face massage. She goes above and beyond to make sure someone tall like me 6'4 is comfortable the entire time. I love her hot stone massages ;) Hope is really great if you want a customized massage . She is taller and can really work deep tissue. I felt less pain and more relaxed with her massage. I have also had two facials here, they were ok. Spa central in Davis is better facial wise . I also don't care for Dermalogica. Ok now on to the things I think massage heights could improve upon. The only reason I ended up with a membership here is not because I was pressured but offered a second introductory rate to try the services again. I do not like a hard sell and want the freedom to make my choices based on experiences not pressure. The ladies up front are sweet and helpful but I think they try to hard to sell memberships since most are commission based. Just relax and let people make the choice. I also don't like being pushed on products so often as well. Massage heights has made a few mistakes with booking appointments or not having a therapist show up when scheduled. I will say they did offer free foot scrubs, extra time, or incentives for their mistakes so they are improving customer service and I appreciate that. They do have a high turnover rate as far as staff goes so make sure if you find a therapist you like talk to them and get their thoughts on who would be best suited should they leave because I was really sad to see Becky go. I cannot comment on credit card billing issues since I always pay in cash for membership and services rendered. I did attend their holiday party and take advantage of their holiday special of buy 2 get one free as well as 20 percent off products. The two products I do like are the linen spray and body butter. All in all this us a good place to get a massage and you have a wide array of therapists to choose from. They are open from 9am-9pm so hours are very flexible if you work til 6. Take advantage of the free chair massages (2 per month with a membership.) Also one of the most important thing I learned is be generous with tips here please. The therapists are paid by the hour and only 8 dollars. I tip at least $15-$25 dollars per 1.5 hr massage. They also just aired an Undercover Boss episode so check that out as well. I overall am a satisfied customer and again Lily or Hope ;) thanks Ladies for making my experience so good. I enjoy being able to take advantage of the free 10 minute chair massages as well. Brandon is a good therapist for reflexology . —ElizabethBarthel

2015-06-07 03:39:14   I got a 90 minute massage here a couple of weeks ago and it was very nice. I didn't like it nearly as much as I did when I went to a smaller business just run by one therapist, but it certainly wasn't bad. The people were very nice, the service was good, timed perfectly, and relaxing. The only thing I really didn't like was all the oil the therapist used - I felt like a greased pig at the end! I suppose I could have asked her to use less, though. Nevertheless, I would still recommend the business. —chem2012
