Fancy a Massage in Bangsar?

I'm a fan of massages, I like people rubbing the aches away. Good thing massage centres are common in Malaysia and I've surveyed a few places in Bangsar so here's the rundown:

1) Chow Yang Reflexology
This is probably the most popular massage centre in Bangsar. Their staff are local or from either Myanmar or Thailand. You need a high pain threshold to enjoy their foot massage; you might find it enjoyable if you prefer the strong kind of massage. I only tried their food and shoulder; unfortunately my neck ached more the next day and I never tried it again. 

2) Everhealth
This is a popular massage chain and the staff are China nationals, so communication is difficult. However the staff are polite, plus they have a variety of rooms (private and sharing). I got a young female masseuse during my 1st experience; she wasn't very strong and didn't get all the aches out. The 2nd time I tried the traditional body massage and the masseuse was STRONG! Check out their happy hour deals :)

3) SiFu
Very affordable and simple, the staff are from East Malaysia and they can communicate in English, so win! I've only tried foot massage here but I don't think I'll try body massage because I saw the massage chairs and I'm not a fan of that. Considering its strategic location in Telawi, there is no end to shuffling of tired feet in and happy feet out! 

4) Thai Odyssey
There *used to be 2 branches of this Thai massage chain in Bangsar: Jalan Telawi (opposite Restoran Nasi Kandar Pelita) and Bangsar Village II. I've been to both and I prefer the BV II outlet because its quieter but the services and the quality is the same for both. Their strong point is the traditional Thai massage; during the foot massage, they use a rod to press points on the feet and I prefer the human touch. It may be a bit pricey but the quality is guaranteed. 

5) Amante

I bought Groupon for 1.5 hr aromatherapy. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience: staff was friendly and attentive. The downside was they pushed other packages (buy 12 sessions for the price of 8, no expiry date, etc) and I hate turning people down. Unfortunately they do not provide foot massage! See their site, they have many outlets and I highly recommend the hot stone massage -- super relaxing and they often have promotional offers! 

6) Family Reflexology
With a special promo of RM68 for 80 min massage, this place is bustling. I have not tried the body massage; the foot massage is good and similar to Chow Yang, which is no surprise considering some of the staff from Chow Yang has joined this new center. Check out their Facebook here.

7) Holistic Esthetics
See my review here.
*Update: the Bangsar branch has shut down, so you may opt to visit their Publika branch. 

8) Serenity Telawi
*Update: shut down. I must commend the proprietors for refunding the remaining credit in my package in cash. 

9) Little Thailand 
Little Thailand is another massage center on the same row as McDonalds. The therapists are friendly and skilled in prodding the tense muscles into a relaxed state. However this establishment only accepts cash and prior reservation is not really recommended by the front desk help. Happy Hour RM40 for Thai Traditional massage 1 hr is available 11am-3pm. 

10) Healthland
The popular Thai massage chain has opened a branch in Bangsar but I've yet to try it, despite purchasing a package. My friends and family members said the quality is good; the staff are professional and not chatty during their work so you can relax without hearing chatter. 

Share your thoughts/experience; do suggest other places nearby for me to consider!

Extra Note:
Aura Wellness is apparently only for male customers but the receptionist refused to elaborate on their services and kept pressing the door opening switch to send me out. Screams dodgy to me. If anyone has been there, do let me know on their services.
