Chuan Spa has become my go-to place for an extra treat. I have an autoimmune disease/chronic pain,…read moreso I get a 90-minute massage every other week at Massage Envy--which is a better price point for regular treatments. I've had probably 1,000 massages in my 43 years of life. But after seeing her twice now I can honestly say that Jenae (Jenay?) is the best masseuse I have ever had. Hands down. And I've had some really good massages. My regular guy is amazing. But she is life-changing!! I just wish I could afford to come here more regularly to see her. This last time I had a 90-minute massage with her and it was epic. Perfect combination of therapeutic/working out tightness and relaxation. Every single movement of hers is purposeful and exactly what I needed. In general, I actually prefer the amenities at Burke Williams (Pasadena) better--and it's not as expensive. But I will continue to come here exclusively as long as Jenae is here! I hope you do whatever it takes to make sure you hang on to her!

worst massage in town. no lie…read more at least for my experience. i brought my girlfriend here for a couple massage for her birthday. 90 minute couples massage. first five minutes was mild at best. we had to ask them to massage with a little bit more effort. shortly after it was pure sharp elbows, digging into our backs from the weight of their bodies, which overhang above. they use gravity and their elbows in an effort to avoid actually expanding effort or using their muscles at all. i don't know about you, but that's not a massage to me. shortly after i looked over to my side to notice that the man that was massaging, my girlfriend was sitting down on the bed lightly massaging her upper back with no more than a few fingers contact. there was no effort or work there. just sitting lounging doing the absolute minimum contact possible. this was almost the same for me however, my masseuse, also using only one hand, would pause for many seconds at a time before exerting some pressure then again another break of many seconds before pressure again. she was systematically conserving energy and then applying the minimum level of pressure from one hand only. after a couple warnings, she finally started to get that. i am not gonna leave us alone and she started massaging more correctly. then excuse the man who was pretending to massage my girlfriend and replaced him with a woman that was massaging me. then they sent one man to massage me who was lazy and barely doing anything so let him go when they sent him them yet. another one who is doing the same thing. at about 45 minutes i finally told him to leave me alone and just continue with my girlfriend. i don't know how it's possible that others aren't reporting this more often, but i cannot speak on what i do not know but what i do know is if you are sore, tired, and just looking for some muscle, relief and relaxation and you expect some discernible level of quality and effort than do not come here. these people do not care at all about giving you a good experience and i gave them multiple chances they are lazy and do not care about their customers at least not for my girlfriend and i if you doubt me at all, please read my other reviews. i'm very honest in my reviews and i take great care to be fair. and i write these to help others. it certainly doesn't provide me any benefit other than that. thank you for reading and feel free to contact me if you'd like more information

Did you know there was a Korean spa in Pasadena?? I didn't…read moreknow! So when my fiancé told me he booked us plus his dad a 2 hour spa in Pasadena I was pleasantly surprised that there was more to this than just a massage! Located on a main street with parking in the back - not much spaces and you have to be careful where you park because other spots are for other businesses. But once we found our spot, we went in and from the outside it looked small, narrow, and tall. But once we walked in it looked so different than it did from the outside! It was nice and dimly lit. There's a waiting room in the lobby as you wait your turn, cause get this - it's a PRIVATE session with us you and your party! They book sessions where you pretty much have this whole section to yourself without sharing with strangers. They let me in the dressing room first as two other women were still wrapping up their session. So my fiancé and his dad waited in the lobby until they were ready to let them in. They led me into the changing room that has a bunch of lockers, big mirrors, hair dryers, and bags for your wet swim suits to put in after! There's also 1 connecting bathroom to the changing room. Once I changed they led into the back room where the hot tub, cold plunge, and steam room was located. WOW. It looked so nice! Plus I was the only one there so I got to enjoy it by myself for a good couple of minutes! They told me that the other 2 ladies were wrapping up and once they left my fiancé and his dad could join me. They told me where to rinse off and let me just enjoy myself, and it was nice. The hot tub was nice and bubbly and the cold plunge was a nice escape from the heat. The steam room was nice but I couldn't last in there for too long. Our appointment time was 2pm but my fiancé and his dad couldn't get in till 2:10 and due to the 2 ladies that asked for a little more time to do a cold plunge and they let them rather than telling them that there was another party waiting. Once they finally left my group was able to come in and enjoy but they didn't get to enjoy these extra services long enough, maybe just 10 mins? Before we were told it was time for us to start our massages. They went to another room for a massage while I stayed in the wet room for my body scrub, I had to remove my swim suit so they can properly scrub me and UGH. They scrubbed me like they scrubbed away my sins! It felt so good and when they asked me to flip over I nearly slipped with how smooth I was! My masseuse/scrubber was an older women but she knew what she was doing! I had the body scrub, cucumber facial, body massage, and a hair wash/massage! It felt pretty worth it for me! After I was done they led me to the dry room to sit in the heated salt room and clay room. This was where I got to meet up with my group again and eh these rooms where just okay to me. You lay in there in a warm room with salt or clay balls around you. I got to chat with my fiancé and it seemed that there session was okay and he was quite jealous of what I got and wished he chose that too. After we were in the dry rooms for a bit we went back down to soak some more but they cut us out right on the dot at 4 and it was a bit of a bummer because my fiancé and his dad had much shorter times because of the 2 ladies before us. For me, my session was great but had to knock a star because my fiancé and his dad didn't have that great of a session and had their time cut short but still enjoyed it. Pros: You get the whole spa room to yourself but need to have a party of 2 or more Cons: If another group before you is late, they cut into your time and don't give you extra time to make up your full paid session

I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it this much. I came in…read morejust wanting to relax for a bit. The massage ended up being exactly what I needed. The pressure was really good without being too much. I especially liked how much time they spent on the tense areas. Nothing felt rushed, which I really appreciated. I actually almost fell asleep a couple of times. I felt so much lighter when I walked out. Definitely worth the visit. I'd come back when I need another reset.

I kept thinking in my head, the massage therapist was heaven sent and really gave me the relaxation that I really needed. Overall vibe of the place was nice, clean, and relaxing. I used a Groupon and they just took the information and worked on me right away. This was my second time here and I would go back again!

It felt super luxurious and very natural. They have a small shop of organic and herbal goods for self care. They were super friendly and really walked me through the chemical peel process. I was thoroughly relaxed and even though I got a facial they even massaged my arms and hands. The results after the chemical peel were great! My skin is less oily overall and it just looks better! I'd definitely come back to do another

Came here for a facial right before the holidays and the esthetician scraped the hell out of my…read moreskin! Literally scraped my skin with some flat sharp tool. You'd think she was trying to skin me alive wth! I ended up breaking out a few days later... so not cute for the holidays. Smdh... Something so morbid about that esthetician, probably this place in general. I'm NEVER coming back here. Plus parking is limited. Vibe is decent but what's the point when the service is terrible.

I went on a Sunday morning at 10am through ClassPass for a 60 mins. It's my first time at a head…read morespa. No one else was there which was kinda nice. When my scalp was examined, she mentioned my hair was oily so they'll use an oil-controlled shampoo which I liked the customization. I also didn't know how much your scalp can tell you about your lifestyle; the diagnosis was spot on. I don't know who I got but she was absolutely great! There was a language barrier but she used a translating app which I didn't mind at all. She turned on the massage chair which does your whole body and gave me a legit solid scalp, head, neck, shoulder, and chest massage with the perfect amount of pressure. She noticed how tight my neck and shoulders were and offered a longer massage on those parts (so grateful!). Since I don't wear makeup, she also massaged around my eyes and face which was much needed to relieve the head tension I had. Then she focused on my washing hair and other scalp treatments and more massage before blow drying my hair on the chair for the final scalp exam. It was very relaxing and enjoyed it greatly.

I've been to about 3 different head spas now and this one had very nice and friendly service…read more It's more of a 4.5/5 star rating since I can't give half stars lol. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I wish I had more of a neck/shoulder massage as I've received those at other head spas & because my styling of hair was a little frizzy (I think maybe because of my hair type, they weren't used to styling it maybe). Now for the great things about this place! The ladies that helped my boyfriend and I were very kind and gave us both quality service. We both left feeling very satisfied and relaxed. I love that they did several cycles of washing, massaging, rinsing, and repeating on my scalp. Some of the products felt nice and refreshing (maybe tea tree or mint). The seats/beds had massagers built in which was awesome! I hadn't seen that at other spas before! Lastly I wanna mention I found them on Groupon and when I called to see if they had same day availability and mentioned Groupon, they said they could price match in person (assuming since Groupon takes a cut). I appreciated that and was happy to do so! Overall, I'd recommend this head spa (bonus points because the food in the area was GOOD).

I wanted to like this place more than I did. I think mainly because I switched my massage treatment…read moreto shiatsu from combo and it either wasn't communicated or noted because I didn't want them to use forearm or elbows. She was definitely using forearm. I didn't even smell any of the essential oils they said they would use. I was also a little bothered by them leaving the door cracked. It is a very cute and calming place. It was clean. The bathroom was clean. They definitely accommodated us a lot by allowing us in early. However, I don't think I'd return.
