She uses multiple methods of getting to the problem areas, from full deep tissue massage to cupping and scraping... If your looking for a fluffy angelic massage probably not the place all though I'm sure she is more than capable. I highly recommend her to anyone that has a body that needs a next level full body treatment. George

Obviously, I can't take pics but if you go on the website, you can see that it's a calming environment. And since they can do the massage on the first floor which helps if you are unable to walk up to the 2nd floor where it is mainly located. They are always there once your appt is scheduled. Try BaiBoon, you will have a great massage in a peaceful and clean environment.

Such a great wellness experience!…read more I'm so glad I found this place! I booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage and had such a relaxing experience from start to finish. Andy did my massage, and he was incredibly talented. He really knew what he was doing and worked out so much tension, but what I appreciated just as much was how respectful and professional he was throughout the entire appointment. I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. After the massage, I was able to spend unlimited time in their wellness space, which has several different rooms with different wellness benefits. It was such a nice way to extend the experience instead of feeling like you have to leave as soon as your massage is over. They're also opening hot tub and cold plunge rooms in September, which I'm already excited to come back for! The location is super convenient, right where Mission Hills meets Hillcrest, and probably one of my favorite parts - there's parking! I'll definitely be back. Such a great addition to the San Diego wellness scene!

I visited Karma this past Monday with a friend after stumbling across it on TikTok, and I'm so glad…read moreI did! It looked like such a cool, unique place, and it was only a few minutes from my apartment. I loved it so much that I brought a friend back today for another massage, and he was very impressed by how great his massage was. Parking is street parking, so it can be a little tough to find a spot. However, there is a paid parking lot directly across from the spa, which is a convenient option. We each booked a 60-minute deep tissue massage. One thing I really loved is that after your service, you can pay an additional $50 per person to enjoy all of the amenities. If you don't book a service, the day pass is $100. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels different. They take your shoes and give you slippers to wear throughout the spa. They also give you a top and shorts to put on. You have a key to a locker that you wear on your wrist. It's super convenient where you just tap it against the lock. There's a heated wooden floor and a cozy lounge area upstairs, and they serve what might be the best tea I've ever had. I definitely lost count of how many cups I drank! The massages are downstairs, while all of the amenities and different wellness rooms are upstairs. Since it was our first visit, we did the "first-time focus" wellness journey, which allowed us to experience each room. They have two different formats for the curated wellness journey, one for visual learners and one that is written. I thought this was such a cool concept. It even tells you how long you should spend in each room, and each room has information explaining the physical, mental, and emotional benefits. There's also a guided wellness experience you can participate in. *Forest Room: This room is adorable. You choose a stone that you feel drawn to, and it guides you through focusing on an intention. *Cold Room: Unfortunately, this room wasn't as cold as it should have been. We were told it should drop to around 60°, but we arrived around 11 AM and by 1 PM it was still around 68°. The room itself is super cute and has a cloud-like atmosphere though. *Himalayan Salt Room: This was probably one of my favorites because it really helped my sinuses. There's also a massage chair where you can relax while enjoying the room. *Red Light Room: They provide protective glasses for your eyes, and there's a bin where you place them afterward so they can be cleaned and reused. There are also Mugwort and Mud Rooms, and I loved that the rooms have hourglasses with different time increments. It's such a simple detail, but it encourages you to put your phone away, stop checking the time, and actually be present. There's also a snack area stocked with individual packets of Asian snacks, Chex Mix, nuts, and lemon water. The dressing room area is also really nice. They have showers with multiple showerheads, which made for a very relaxing shower after the spa experience. They provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner along with toothbrushes, blow dryers, deodorant, and pretty much everything you need to get ready afterward. Another really unique feature is the intention wall. You can write something you want to manifest and post it on the wall. At the end of the month, they take the intentions down and hold a little ceremony of sorts to help manifest them. I thought that was such a beautiful touch. And the deep tissue massage was absolutely phenomenal. My therapist used great pressure and really focused on pressure points, leaving me feeling incredibly relaxed afterward. Overall, Karma was an incredible experience and such a perfect reset. From the thoughtful wellness journey and unique rooms to the amazing massage, tea, snacks, and relaxing atmosphere. There are so many little details that make this place special.

We both enjoyed our time! Parking: They have their own parking lot, though it's a bit smaller. We booked on a Saturday appointment at 12pm and there were only a few spots left. They only have one entrance, so they don't connect from the main parking lot behind-- just a heads up. Price: $100 for 90 minutes or $95 if cash-- which is a great price. We signed up for the $10 discount for first timers and put the code in when we booked online. But upon check in, they told us that the code only works for Monday-Thursday, which was disappointing since that wasn't listed anywhere on their website nor was it mentioned when we booked. Experience: We were in a couples room and there seemed to be a handful of rooms available. Shout out to Polly and Sara for being our therapists! They did a great job and they really dug in my problem areas. I enjoy medium to hard pressure and Polly delivered. What stood out to me the most was that after being on our back, they put Peppermint essential oil on our neck and shoulder, which felt amazing! At any other massages, my sinuses are usually so stuffy when I flip on my back but the essential oil cleared everything up. I'd like to point out however that the walls are very thin. So when people walked down the hall, you can hear them talking. Afterwards, they served tea and water. Overall: We enjoyed our first time getting Thai massage and we'd consider coming back again!

Not only is the value incredible, but the quality is unmatched. Killian is so nice and always asks for feedback to ensure the pressure is exactly right (I get medium pressure). The office is in a vintage Mission Valley building by Benihana - if you feel like you're in the wrong spot, you've found it! I am so grateful to have found him and am already looking forward to my next session.

This place is a rip off and will scam you for money…read more I went in with my son asked for 30 min massage for both of us. The guy agreed and told us to go to the table. As I was getting the massage the guy kept asking 40, 50. I was lying on the table face down and couldn't understand him. I had to pop my head up and say 30. He kept doing this and the other guys would be speaking back and forth in their language. At the end when I was checking out they charged us for a 40 min massage and $10 tip each. I was so fed up I agreed. It was not a 40 min massage. I literally had to tell the guy lighter pressure every other minute. The massage was uncomfortable and hurt and times when he would apply pressure. It was not a body massage it was a pressure release of some sort that was painful. I feel like this is a dirty tactic they use to rip people off. Not satisfied on how they trick an haggle you into taking your money for less time you agreed on. Will not go in ever again. Make sure you use a timer and tell all of the workers the time of massage you want if you go in.
