About Diamond Massage in west Wichita

A massage studio. Six rooms off one corridor, a lounge to wait in, a front desk with the price list standing on it, and a menu that runs from half an hour of foot work up to two hours on the table.

It sits in a small retail strip on the north side of W Central Ave, a short way west of N Maize Rd — the block with Chili’s and the Walmart Neighborhood Market, across Central from the Dillons. Along this stretch the mile roads are close to a mile apart, so Tyler is a mile east and 119th St W is a mile west, which is the fastest way to work out whether we’re on your way home.

No facials, no nails, no waxing, no body wraps, no sauna, no tanning bed. No chiropractic and no acupuncture. We don’t diagnose anything and we don’t treat medical conditions — there’s more on where that line sits further down this page.

There’s also nothing to join. No membership, no monthly draft, no package of ten you have to buy before your first session, and no first-visit rate that quietly expires. The figure on the menu is the figure at the counter.

Sixty minutes on the table is $60. Body massage runs $40 for thirty minutes, $60 for sixty, $90 for ninety and $120 for two hours, at whatever pressure you name — deep tissue and Swedish are pressures, and neither carries a surcharge. The combo, which opens with thirty minutes of foot reflexology and finishes on the body, is $60, $90 and $140 across the same three lengths. Foot massage is $30 for half an hour and $50 for the hour. The couples room starts at $120 for the hour and four hands at $120, both of them two therapists working at once. And the scratching massage is $70 for forty minutes or $120 for eighty — half of it essential-oil work on the back, half slow scratching across the back, arms and scalp, which is a thing almost nobody else in Kansas puts on a price list.

Those numbers mirror our Square booking page line for line. Every duration and every category sits on the massage prices page, the questions we get at the desk are on the FAQ, and the comparison against the rest of the city is on the west Wichita hub.

Himalayan salt stone is $20, aromatherapy $10 and cupping $20. All three go on top of a session you’ve already chosen — none of them is bookable on its own, and none of them is included by default. Salt stone and aromatherapy cost double on couples and four hands.

Cupping leaves round marks that sit on the skin for a few days. That’s expected, not a sign something went wrong, and it’s worth knowing before a wedding or a pool weekend — what the marks are and how long they last.

Kansas has no state massage license. That catches out anyone who moved here from a state that has one. The legislature has looked at creating a license and hasn’t yet — most recently Senate Bill 253 in the 2025 session, which died in committee.

The City of Wichita licenses at city level instead. Chapter 3.55 of the city code requires a business license and a therapist permit for every therapist, both renewed every two years, and every working therapist carries a city photo ID card. Ask to see it any time — here, or at any other studio in town. It takes four seconds and it’s the single most useful question you can ask before you lie down.

The NCCIH notes that in the 45 states and the District of Columbia that regulate massage therapy, therapists must get a license or certification before practicing — Kansas is one of the handful that doesn’t, which is exactly why the city card is the thing to look at. We wrote the long version, including what to ask a studio that hesitates: Kansas has no massage license.
