masoz.app is a guide that brings together independent massage therapists in Istanbul. Here you can browse profiles by district, massage type and service location. Everyone listed is self-employed; the platform does not act as an intermediary, and you arrange the appointment directly with the therapist by phone or WhatsApp. Every profile is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and profiles with identity and photo checks are shown with badges. If you are not sure which massage suits you, you can read the descriptions on the massage types page and discuss the length and your expectations with the therapist beforehand. If you are looking for a therapist in a particular district, you can go to the district pages; for a particular massage type, the type pages; and therapists who come to your home are on a separate page. Only professional massage is listed on this site; no service other than professional massage is allowed.

Identity and Photo Checks

Editorial Assessment Instead of Reviews
There are no user reviews or ratings; only some profiles carry an assessment by our editorial team and the "Tested Service" badge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when choosing a massage therapist?
- You can look at the years of experience on the profile, the massage types the therapist specializes in, the place of service (their own studio or your address) and the verification badges. The "Identity Verified" and "Tested Service" badges are the strongest trust signals. Clarifying your expectations by phone before the session is also important for a good match.
How can I reach a therapist?
- Bookings are not made through the platform; masoz.app is a guide. You contact the therapist directly with the phone or WhatsApp button on the profile page you like, and plan the day and time with them. Since there is no intermediary, changes and cancellations are also discussed directly with the therapist.
What should I do if I am asked for a deposit or advance payment?
- Be careful: asking for a money transfer before the appointment as a deposit, advance payment or "travel fee" is a common scam method. Always pay at the time of service, in person. If you come across a profile that asks for an IBAN or bank transfer before meeting, do not pay and report it to us through the "Report a Violation" page; the profile is reviewed and removed if a violation is found.
