Live Well Massage

🛑 ABSOLUTELY AVOID: Unprofessionalism, Forced Tipping, and Highly Discriminatory Behavior 🛑 I am an experienced consumer of massage services and have never encountered such an appalling level of unprofessionalism. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this establishment. I scheduled a 45-minute massage and was told it was $60. Upon entering the room, before I had even begun to prepare for the service, the masseuse demanded immediate, upfront payment. This is highly irregular in the industry and immediately made me uncomfortable. I paid via card and received a receipt. Subpar Massage: The massage itself was poor. The masseuse used an excessive amount of oil, and was actively pushing the massage table around the room while I was on it—a jarring and unprofessional experience that ruined any

The therapist’s technique was amazing. They used just the right amount of pressure, really working out all my knots without feeling too aggressive. I left feeling completely relaxed and like all my tension was gone.

This was exactly the break I needed. From the relaxing atmosphere to the attentive staff, everything felt effortless. The massage itself hit all the right spots — firm where it needed to be, gentle where it mattered. I walked out feeling light, relaxed, and ready to take on the day.

I was looking a massage place in the area and found live well massage. I picked this place because of the perfect reviews. Everyone say great things of this place. I made appointment for 75 mins. When I came in both of the ladies told me they can't accomodate 75 mins but the therapist can only do 60mins. I didnt argue and I said "its fine". The therapist barely speak English. She has to use her phone to translate which was fine. The cost of the massage for 60 mins is $70 which is fair to this days and in santa barbara/ goleta area. To my surprise, when I gave the therapist $20 tip she asks for more. I was trying to explain i only have 10$ left. $20 is more than 20%. I hate to argue so I gave $30 tip. I feel like I got scammed. So beware!

Over the years I have had many massages. I have received massages from Linda and Katy at Live Well Massage, which were one of the best…and very reasonable price.
