5 /5 Aaron Recine: I am hesitant to write this review because I dont want to give up my new favorite spot! It feels like a hidden gem that only I know about!
I have been to many many different massage places, both corporate, private, and Chinese reflexology style and hands down, by a MILE CoCo is the absolute best I have ever had.
Bear in mind that I want a VERY hard massage that feels like the therapist is almost trying to kill you lol. CoCo has incredible strength, but where she stands out is knowing WHERE to focus that strength. She runs her thumb across your body and searches for knots and tension. I will also use Google translate to inform her of problem areas if needed. ( Chinese Simplified seems to work ).
I recently moved from Redwood City to Gilroy and will likely try other local spots, but I am very doubtful I will find someone who is as detailed, thorough, and professional as CoCo.
Also, as others have said, the business has changed hands fairly recently, and the owner and her sister are working hard to make the place inviting and professional.
The only improvement I would suggest is adding a sound dampening curtain or other material to block out the noise of the kitchen / break room area in the back. It can be a little distracting. Beyond that, I have no complaints.
Also, TIP WELL. I always ask for a 2 hour body massage, and I have NO IDEA how professional therapists can sustain constant pressure for so long, and thats coming from someone who used to be a professional mechanic! I tip $40 for 2 hours.
Seriously bummed I am moving, but I am sure I will make the over hour drive if I can not find a local place with the same dedication to the craft that CoCo obviously has.
