What can I say, I love a good deep tissue massage. I've come here a handful of times, and each…read morevisit has been consistently great. They really take the time to work out your knots and use a lot of pressure, which is exactly how I like my massages. Before your session, they have you fill out a form that lets them know which areas you want them to focus on, and they actually pay attention to it. If you're someone who actually wants the tension worked out (not just a light, relaxing rub), this is the spot.I usually go in feeling achy and tense, and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Highly recommend if you're looking for an all-around great experience with quality, consistent service. Thank you guys!

I typically request very hard pressure. Unfortunately, most masseuses will understandably tire out before 30 minutes and then they coast through the rest of the session. Not Bob - this man kept that very hard pressure I so desperately sought throughout the session and he put all of his energy into my treatment. He was communicative and ensured I was comfortable the entire hour. Honestly? It was one of the best massages I've ever had. Bob, if you're reading this, I sincerely thank you for caring for me today, and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon!

So far had three different masseuse and have enjoyed the massages.

The only thing I felt that was weird was I had to pay for the massage as soon as I walk in and also add the tip. I did end up telling the lady that I'll go ahead and pay for the massage but will add the tip later on. I suggest bringing in some cash for the tip. The lady that gave me a massage was Eda. She got all my sore muscles and the knots that's been bothering me. I still had 10mins left when she ended the massage. I believe she ended it because there was another customer in the next room to mine that arrived. It did not bother me much since she got all my knots and sore muscles without pointing them out. There was a language barrier though since she could barely understand and speak english. There was only two masseuse when I got there the other lady was younger. The five star is for Eda getting all my sore muscles. I wish she was able to understand me when I told her how much I appreciate and enjoyed the massage.

UPDATE: Ronald Aleteanu, one of the owners, reached out to me via comment on here. He said "reach…read moreout directly so it can be resolved at the level it should have been", which is odd, because he was the one that initially sent me the business' refund policy when I asked for a refund and rejected my refund in the first place. It just feels like he is wanting to publicly look like he is addressing the situation properly. I did end up reaching out again today, per his request, and Elena Aleteanu, the other owner, has not changed her stance. She is telling me that they can't do anything on their end and that I need to reach out to Square. Square is telling me that they can't do anything on their end and that the business needs to initiate the refund. So, I reached out to Ronald again directly, and he did not respond. In addition, he got my Google review deleted and is trying to get this one deleted as well, but thankfully Yelp is a lot better about keeping honest reviews. I also forgot to note that the service was booked for two hours total, as a side by side massage. Elena tried to SCAM my sister and her partner by offering each a 1 hour service, one at a time (because of being understaffed), even though it is a two hour service. I paid $400 for the massages, so she's was trying to tell my sister that each service (which included a full massage and facial) of $200 was for one hour only, which is a lie. ORIGINAL POST: AVOID California Skin Care & Day Spa in Newark I prepaid for a service (it was a gift), received a confirmation reminder the day before, and made arrangements for my sister and her partner who are visiting from out of town. I even paid for an Uber to get them there. They arrived on time and the place was closed. No staff, no setup, nothing. They waited about 40 minutes, while I tried calling and messaging every available number. Eventually Ronald Aleteanu, one of the owners, responded on WhatsApp , but that did not change the situation and the service still was not provided. Between the Uber and waiting, this ended up wasting about 2 hours of their time (& money for the Uber), and they left with nothing. After all of that, Elena Aleteanu (who eventually came) claimed she had called and left a message (and at one point claimed that she talked to someone - a complete lie). I never received any call or voicemail, and I confirmed that the number I entered was correct. Their explanation just does not add up, especially since they had no problem sending a reminder the day before. What is most frustrating is that they still refused to issue a refund for a service they never provided. Instead, they only offered store credit, which is completely unreasonable. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. I also posted this on NextDoor and numerous people replied noting that the same thing happened to them. So this is not an isolated incident. I've posted those screenshots here.

This was a life changing experience. I never had a massage before (which I'm not beating myself up…read morefor) and have dealt with awful lower back pain for years after I had my youngest son. I had my first ever massage with Tiffanie and yall.... No pain. After it was done, I couldn't believe how easy it was to get up and put my pants on. No pain, no stiffness. She has miracle hands. Like frfr. I'll be going back even if my back pain is gone permanently because the experience was just that amazing. I was so nervous at first, a bit insecure and not really knowing what to expect but Tiffanie was so kind and inviting. There was no judgement. She gave me clear instructions and made sure I was comfortable with everything. She also talked to me about the importance of taking care of myself and even advised on other things we can do for next time - like acupuncture and waxing (for my facial hair). And her music playlist is on point! Thank you to my mans for making me go for Mother's Day and thank you, Tiffanie, for your healing hands.
