    I really enjoyed my time at Been Light Sauna! It was my first time trying infrared light sauna and red light therapy and doing it in one session was great! I love that you can get a private room with both and you start with the full body red light therapy and then move into the infrared sauna room. The entire process is so relaxing with 15 min of red light therapy followed by 40 min of sauna. The sauna isn't as hot as a traditional dry sauna but still makes you feel super relaxed after. The eucalyptus towel they give you is perfect for cooling down and feeling refreshed. Such a good experience!

    I've been wanting to try red light for so long. This is a brand new place in downtown San Mateo. Staff were very friendly and explained the whole run down. The place is very clean and they gave privacy in the room. Basically once your session starts, you go through each session timed independently. It was def nice to try this for the first time, as I've been curious. Now just waiting to see the benefits and if it's worth getting a membership still.

    I came here through the yelp elites. As soon as I filled out the slot time sheet I got a phone call to set up the rest of the experience. The girl on the phone was so sweet and answered the questions I had. She also, asked me some questions and recommended what services I should use when coming in. -Parking: there is street parking all over the place and there is parking Lots a few feet away. As soon as I walked in, i was greeted by staff and was hit with crisp, cool air with a hint of something that makes it also smell refreshing. It was perfect since it was a hot day. When I walked in the receptionist was very welcoming and sweet, she gave me a tour of the location and what services they had and what was the benefit of them. She went over what benefits I was looking for and her recommendations. We got started and my first experience was the red light therapy. - red light therapy: I got on a bed and put on my light blocking protective eye wear and used the remote for the bed to get as close to the lights as possible (her recommendation). There is this timer that beeps when it's time for you to flip over. It was perfect for me to remember to flip since I was getting comfy. Once you are done with the red light there is a robe you can put on so you don't have to put your clothes back on. I then got shown the sauna. -Sauna: I was told about the timer as well. Told about the colors of the light and the benefits of them and was also handed an iPad. There are speakers connected to the sauna. you can listen to music or watch a show on Netflix. You can also turn up and down the heat in the sauna. When you are done with the sauna they give you a cool peppermint hand towel to get cool. It feels so refreshing, and perfect after sweating for 45 minutes. -shower: I brought shower stuff since I wasn't sure if they had showers or if I could shower there. Turns out they have a shower. One and you have to reserve it. I didn't so I just went home to shower. But it's a good idea if you do since there is so many things to do around there since you are in downtown. -Packages: As I was leaving I was told about the pricing of the packages and the benefits of how many times to come. My schedule is a bit different every week and the sessions in the package do roll over. So that is really nice.

    Beem Light Sauna is truly next level. The private suites make the entire experience feel luxurious and personalized--you're not just going to a sauna, you're stepping into your own wellness space. The medical-grade saunas combined with the red light therapy are incredible, and you can really feel the difference in both relaxation and recovery. Jin, the owner, is absolutely amazing. You can tell how much care and intention he's put into every detail of the space. His team is just as wonderful--so welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever being overbearing. This is hands down one of the best wellness experiences in the Bay Area. I always leave feeling completely reset

    I joined the membership because the staff was so nice! Fingers crossed I look younger in a couple months!

    Yesterday I was doing a wellness day and decided to try Beem Light Sauna! Since this was my first time I did the introductory option of 15 minutes of red light therapy and 45 minute sauna. The place was very clean and welcoming. I loved the different light options for the sauna and they also had a tv in the room if you want to watch anything.

    There are so many good things to say about Beem Light Sauna. First of all, I'm really grateful to have found this place. I was actually taking classes at Flexx Burlingame and they had a booth where I was informed about the establishment opening soon in San Mateo. I was instantly sold and decided to join with a founding membership. Fast forward to a few months later to their soft launch and I finally got to try the infrared sauna with chromotherapy. Absolutely incredible experience. I came in with the intention of relaxing and letting go of tension and that's exactly how it went. I was able to change the healing light colors inside the sauna, as well as the temperature, and it was honestly the best sauna experience I've ever had. I also tried the red/blue light therapy and solo sauna combination and it was equally amazing. On top of the services offered, the staff has been absolutely lovely and wonderful to work with. Jin, Kayla, Cho, and Kyndra are some of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of interacting with whenever I come in. Super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable - lots of shoutout to them I've attached photos of what the solo sauna with chromotherapy and the advanced red light therapy rooms look like. (They have several rooms, but I only took photos of these ones.) The establishment is really clean, pretty, and inviting overall. It's located in downtown San Mateo, so street parking is limited. I usually park in the garage which is conveniently located next to the building so it's super easy to get to. I've only had good experiences so far. I highly recommend giving it a go and experiencing a transformative session. Thank you so much Beem team for being absolutely wonderful! Can't wait for my next sessions!

When I arrived, I was given a pair of slippers and shown around the spa. They have everything from a Himalayan salt room to red light therapy and sensory deprivation floats. I loved how knowledgeable the staff was. The fire Ice room has a timer so you're able to know how long you've been in the cold plunge. Each room is equipped with the shower and shampoo, conditioner body wash. (smells like oranges) extremely refreshing ! If I had more time, I would've loved to book back to back sessions. After my session, I got to speak with the staff and was informed of all the different programs I have that can help with sleep, stress and even pain relief program. I cannot recommend this place enough! Well worth it to treat yourself.

Her only request was a hydro facial and deep tissue massage at the same place. I found this spa offered both services and my mom and I decided to take her here. My mom called to schedule the services and I called for more information about facials and recommendations for my eczema and sensitive skin. I found out the day we requested might not have an esthetician available, but Jenny and Tiffany texted us and really helped try to find a good time and day that would work. They figured out how to schedule both sets of services so they would work with just one esthetician and made it feel very smooth. I ended up getting the City Life facial with Kim plus the lymphatic drainage add on. She was wonderful!! From start to finish, I knew I was in great care. I also got a deep tissue massage with Sammy and she was just as wonderful. I left feeling incredibly relaxed and I know my sister did too. She said she fell asleep during her massage ‍ Thank you for all your help and care!

I was offered water and restroom prior to beginning my forms. There is a waiting room with leather and wood elements. Which I love! Unfortunately the restrooms are shared with other businesses and required you to go out of the establishment and into a shared hallway. I was walked to my room for an intake, and reviewed the forms for clarity. The table was nice and warm. Linens were clean and laundered. There are robes available for you to change into along with a bench and bask for your belongings. I had a massage from Luis. Asked for a blend. Firm pressure on back and shoulders and medium to light everywhere else. He absolutely did just that. My hour session seems like it was a 90. He focused on areas I requested and often checked if pressure was okay. I originally request for a scalp treatment with my 60 which would make it a 90 minute session. However, it was somehow booked incorrectly. I didn't make a fuss of it. But Luis did provide a decent scalp massage during the 60. I added in the lemon grass and coconut oil. I definitely will be booking with Luis again! And will double check to make sure my booking is correct. Would highly recommend booking with him!

    Amazing service and an introverts dream…read more I've had about 15 massages here. Only 1 massage therapist spoke more than 2 words to me. All of them simply do a light rub down and then immediately pin point my troubleshoots and get to work fixing them. I've had knots in my upper back, a pinched nerve in my glute, and a variety of aliments. They are able to figure out exactly the problem just by touch. It's amazing! And I don't have to deal with small talk when I'm there to try to get fixed up and am in a bad mood. But I always leave in a great mood! I also love how they have the tip suggestions posted based on time which makes it very easy to calculate especially since they are great at giving lots of good deals so it can be confusing calculating. One of my favorite things is that they accommodate last minute appointments. I find it very hard to schedule anything in advance. I consider this place an important need for my health, and am happy to be able to afford to come here and tip well without braking the bank. They have great prices and give deals if you purchase a package. Some parts are not the most fancy....but I'd much rather have massages that I can afford on a regular basis than go somewhere more pristine and only be able to go 1-2 times a year. Also the front desk woman has always been very professional and kind, even when I'm running late.

    TRIGGER WARNING: SA…read more My boyfriend specifically requested a female massage therapist for me when booking due to prior trauma. I was surprised when I was assigned a male therapist while my boyfriend was assigned a female therapist. I did not realize this until after they started massaging us. During the massage, the therapist began massaging and touching my glute area without my consent, which made me extremely uncomfortable. It was difficult for me to speak up in the moment, but I eventually worked up the courage to ask whether we could switch therapists. When I raised my concerns, I did not feel that they were taken seriously. They laughed and said "ok" which made me feel dismissed. I left feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable, and I also did not receive any apology for the distress the experience caused me. What was particularly confusing to me was that my boyfriend did not receive any glute massage during his session, so our experiences differed despite being there together. This experience was deeply upsetting for me and brought back memories of prior trauma. While I cannot speak to anyone else's intentions, I can speak to the impact the experience had on me. What should've been a celebration for a special occasion left me feeling distressed, violated, and shaken by what happened. This review reflects my honest recollection of the experience and the impact it had on me, and I stand by it. I am sharing it because customer comfort, boundaries, and therapist preferences matter. I hope future customers who make similar requests have those requests respected and that concerns raised during a session are met with compassion and understanding instead of what I experienced. Note: this was from well over a year ago and I have edited the review to clarify my experience and feelings.
