| - If you have never been to reflexology or previously reviewed reflexology and try to compare it to your fold and fluff spa..... Think again! This is not that type of place and they are going to massage the living crud out of you. It's not abnormal to be sore the next day but overall they remove the stress, help with digestion, and work wonders on headache/migraine symptons.
Traditionally reflexology focuses on the foot and lower leg, so I laugh when people comment on a full body massage, or expect to have their own room or space. If that is what you need then go back to the strip and pay 140$$$ an hour for a spa. Asian/Chinese reflexology has adapted to the American way and now give a head to toe massage, no nook or crevice is off limits. Don't be surprised when they crawl up on you and the masseuse drives their knees in your back, pull on your arms and legs, stretch you and massage from the inner ear to the inner thigh. It's all part of the experience.
That being said, happy feet is one of the best around! They work hard and the reason your masseuse waits at the front with you for a tip is that is how they are paid. This is not white America where you earn wages and everyone feels good, this is china town and the house takes the $20 fee and tips go to the masseuse, so be kind and tip well these people work their tails off. Happy provides a very good overall experience. At other places masseuse have smelled like smoke, garlic, food, and been too rough. At happy feet they usually ask if the pressure is ok, no one smells like smoke, and you get 1 full hour if not more for your $20 plus tip. I usually give 15$ as a standard tip and that means for $35 I get a full one hour massage compared to fold and fluff joints that charge $70-$80 low end.
Hope this helps and good luck on your reflexology experience!
