Golia Beauty Center

It’s my 6th time coming here and once again Cindy did a remarkable job. My neck and back have been suffering from chronic pain from work for years, and Cindy definitely knows what she does and helps me address a lot of pain and muscle tightness. Ivan and other masseuses are also great. With the price and the service, you cannot find a better massage place here in SF. Only recommendation for people who want to come here is to make reservations as they can get super busy.

I’ve been coming to Golia Massage for three years now, and they never disappoint. Every session leaves me feeling incredibly relaxed. Whether I’m dealing with a tension headache or chronic back pain, I always walk out feeling completely refreshed and recharged. Highly recommend their services for anyone needing consistent, high-quality care!

Had the worst massage here a few months back (forgot to write a review then). I asked for someone who was more skill and was willing to pay a higher rate— the woman in charge of booking gave me a woman who genuinely hated every second of being there. She wore a bow in her hair, and her fingers felt like she was jabbing me and caressing me at the same time somehow. Most of the massage was her giving me rug burn through a towel/my clothes. I was in pain coming in and somehow was worse during/after the massage. Couldn’t communicate with her, and when I finally did at the end of the massage, it was because I “didn’t tip enough” I always tip 20% or more for services— but me tipping 10% was a sign that she did a horrible job. She then tried to pull out her calculator to teach me how to tip 20%— mind you she tried to make me tip that on top of the credit card price. Not the service price. A genuine scammer. I had to ChatGPT translate for her to tell her it was the worst massage of my life and she had the audacity to ask me why I didn’t tell her sooner (via translate app). I didn’t know someone could be so far removed from common sense, I’m getting annoyed writing this review and remembering her. Yes, I was supposed to climb off the bed naked mid massage, find my phone to translate and teach her how to not stab me with her fingernails, all while being limited in mobility. What a joke.

I had an amazing experience with both the massage and facial. Everything was done so professionally, and it felt incredibly relaxing. My skin was feeling really dull and tired before the facial, but afterward it felt calm, refreshed, and deeply relaxed. I could genuinely feel the difference. Highly recommend!

Incredible massages for a great price. Only $70 an hour (cash) or $75 (credit) with an expected 20% tip. My wife and I both got the exact massage we needed. Me from Cindy, the owner, her from Ivan. Cindy dialed the pressure down to medium and was able to find the spots on my super tight IT band and hip to ease them both up. If you are looking for a great massage and do not want to spend money on frilly amenities that don't directly benefit you, this place in the heart of SF's Chinatown is perfect.
