She didn't push another session like other places. The knots I had were still there but that's my fault because I allowed the inflexibility to continue.

I like to get their 100-minute special, which includes a 40-minute foot massage to start and ends with a 60-minute body massage. I noticed they specialize more in acupressure massages so if you like strong massages, this is the spot for you. Ask for Jane or Andy - they're amazing! To avoid a credit/debit surcharge, make sure to bring cash!

I have been visiting Health Day Spa usually once a week for about five years…read more My go to person lately is Susan. She provides exactly the massage I request. Swedish massage, medium, not too hard. Most massage spas offer soft, medium, or hard pressures. I prefer soft to medium. That's exactly what I ask with Susan and that is what I receive. If you want a hard deep tissue massage, I'd recommend Carmen. She's very experienced and knows exactly where your pain or discomfort is, and believe me, she will definitely get your pain out. Depending on your pain, depends on how much pressure Carmen will put on you. Two different times, Jenny (the owner) performed Thai massages on me. She does not offer that massage. She only performed Thai massage because I have been going there for years. Omg, that was so painful. However, when I walked out, my body was like jello. At that time, I didn't live far away. I was able to drive home and fell right to sleep, waking up totally refreshed. Today, Susan worked on me. I always get a 90 minute massage, which costs $98, plus I give 25 to $30 tip. That's just me. My tip is giving extra thanks. Today, though, I caught myself snoring twice. I love Health Day Spa. It's dark, always quiet unless a guest is talking loud. There's soft relaxing music playing. As I have mentioned before, everyone that works there does not speak English well. I suggest you speak slowly and clearly, or use your Google translator, as I do. Jenny, Bill, and maybe a couple other employees will understand English. I have also mentioned, if you want a happy ending, go somewhere else. Health Day Spa is 100% legit, with trained massage therapists.

First time here on a Sunday. My mom comes here for her massages with therapist, Ada. I recently…read morepulled a muscle so I thought I would give this place a try. I called on a Saturday afternoon to book for a Sunday appt for 2 people. We showed up on Sunday & there was a miscommunication so our appts were not in their books. Bummer. They thought we were coming the day that I called. Uh, wrong day. The person over the phone sounded really unmotivated. It was hard to understand him also. My spouse spoke mandarin to him to do the booking. So if u call to book, PLEASE MAKE SURE you are clear over the phone WHICH DAY you are booking for. They eventually found an available female therapist and I went in a room to get started. After 20 mins, they were able to accommodate my spouse for his massage. They made it happen and I appreciate them being flexible. Here goes my detailed review: AMBIENCE: First impression - BASIC. Nothing fancy here. The rooms have walls that DO NOT connect all the way to the ceiling, so what that means is that you might get to hear ur neighbors talking during your session. The room is nothing but basic, no bells or whistle, no fancy candles or aroma smell, no dimmed lights either. Bed and a chair inside with some hooks on wall. It's not a zen place here. It's a place to get ur kinks and knots out on ur body. There was spa music that plays in there tho. Let's be real, it's no Napa Valley spa here. You get what u pay for. CLEANLINESS: It felt clean overall. Head rest on bed had a disposable sheet for you to lay ur face in. I can't guarantee they change their bed sheets after each guest but I hope they change the flat sheet that is under the blanket tho. I also assume everyone keeps their underwear on under the sheets. PRICE + MENU: Affordable. That's why I decided to come here and try it out. I did the $65 an hour full body massage. See my price list photo for more pricing info. They also offer foot massages too or combo. Pay cash is best here. They charge extra $2 for each credit card transaction so keep that in mind. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Good. I will come back and try again. My therapist, Amy, seems polite. No one rude or anything there like other Yelpers mentioned. At least I didn't encounter anything too unpleasant while I was there. My therapist spoke cantonese so it was nice to communicate and feel she understood my needs. She got all the knots I needed to get out from my shoulder. Just know that at the end of ur sessions, most asian massage places will use HOT towel to wipe u down completely after they lotion you up during ur session. Some might think it's a weird process if they are not used to asian massage places. So just keep that in mind. It's like they just gave u a towel sponge bath lol. Me and my spouse both got the full body massage, total cost was $130 ($65 each). We paid about 25% tip. In total we paid $160 cash. That total price is pretty much what I usually pay at the Equinox Spa for a 50 mins massage for one. Of course, there is absolutely no comparison. It's like comparing a Bentley with a Honda Civic. Not fairly comparable. But like I mentioned - "what u pay is what u get". I think my $65 was VERY WELL spent. My therapist took off the pain I had so it got the job done. I do recommend trying it out here if you are just looking for muscle relieve in an affordable way. Not a place I would send someone a gift card or anything. But I'll be back again when if I run into any pain issues again. I took off one star for the shady ambience and also the questionable bed sheets on whether they changed it out (or not) after each client. But as for the interior decor, they could definitely use some help. A remodel would make it feel more welcoming. It's just really dark inside, nothing fancy at all. It gets the job done. Go give this place a try

CAUTION: MASSEUSE IN DISGUISE…read more I hate to be the first to pop the bubble but DAMN! I have no idea how Lyn has so many good reviews. I was not ready for this experience at all. I went in for a Swedish massage which is advertised for $85 and hour on her website page. When I go in for my massage today 6/4/2018, she sits me down and tells me that her massages are $100 per hour insisting that Swedish massage will do me no good because it's just a "soft touch". She also bashed all Asian massage shops claiming they are no good because it's cheap and the masseuse chatter too much. As we proceed, it's a very tiny massage room with barley any light. Modern day music is playing. It seemed like the sheets I went into were used from the previous customer right before me. I could tell because I saw no sight of any other sheets to replace the old ones. There was even a dirty blanket on the floor. As she's massaging me, she is literally applying so much pressure that it was a painful experience. She told me to "curse and breath." She was also cursing saying words like "fuck" not to mention she kept going in and out of the room. She even complained about 3 times while massaging me. It definitely seems like she cannot keep up with her clients different body shapes and sizes. She didn't even do the complete hour and all of a sudden the massage was done. The massage itself was horrible. She makes up random moves as she goes along and it does not feel good at all!! Be aware that you will get criticized during your massage, along with major disruption, and uneasy music. This is not the place to come from if you are looking for a peaceful relaxing massage. Waste of money and time!

Worst experience ever! Called in for an appointment but when I got there they told me they were…read morebusy but I reminded them that I have an appointment. So the receptionist told me to go to the room and change. I ask if the bed was just made because it look like somebody just used it so she went out and got me some towel and change the sheet. So if I didn't complain I'm gonna use the old sheet that's have been used. I laid down then the receptionist came and did my massage. I feel that she just practice on me. The worst part is there was this other costumer that had their kids with them and I heard the kids talking for the whole time I was having my bad massage. I don't usually write bad review but I just don't want other people waste their money to this place specially when you want to have a quiet relaxing time.

I had gotten great massages here before COVID. Today was the first time returning there in over a…read moreyear. A pretty, petite gal around 30 yrs. old who said that her name was "Bobo" attended me. I paid for the table shower and a one-hour massage for $70. After the shower, I waited around in the massage room for about 15 minutes as she attended to other clients that entered the business. Finally, she came into my room and tried to explain to me (in broken English) that she was so busy that she wouldn't be able to do the massage(?). Instead, she offered to refund me $20. I told her that I was not in agreement and desired to have the hour-long massage that I had paid for. However, she denied that request, pretended not to understand my English, and refunded me $20. So, basically, I paid $50 for a shower today and didn't get any relief for a very sore lower back. I'll never return to "Chinese Massage" again. I don't recommend that you risk getting played either ;(

You can tell that she had a very diverse knowledge of pain management and have had previous experiences with clients dealing with similar health issues that I'm currently going through. I had a 60 minutes massage that flew by and felt like it was only like 15 minutes because it was that heavenly. She took before and after photos to show you how my body was slowly detoxing the inflammation in my system. She also gave me some aftercare tips and what to avoid and can continue to do. I highly recommend her because she does so many awesome amazing treatments that I'm sure you'll find something that is suited for you and feel amazing afterwards. It was that great that I already purchased a summer sculpting package so I can't wait to show off my sexy new body for myself.
