Not bad for a 'cheap' massage! ($40 + $10 tip) Most of the cheaper massage places are run down and unkempt. Harmony has a clean spa-like ambiance, though the rooms are not fully sealed and you can hear chatter next door. Fortunately the music played is pleasantly distracting. I had a 'deep tissue' massage with a professional masseuse, with minimal chatter involved. The massage consisted of back acupressure and then mostly back work; there was minimal leg or arm work performed. I was also pleasantly surprised by the warm towels used to wipe off the massage oils afterward. Do not expect a diagnostic massage for specific aliments, but do expect a massage that will remove stress from your day. Overall a good value. read more

I was visiting from San Diego and my cousin thought it would be a good idea to get a massage. TOTALLY DOWN! I've had this shoulder pain on my left side for the past few months and it hasn't gone away with any masseuse. Also, who wouldn't want a massage while they're on vacation? I did some research on Yelp for places to go to, but they none could accommodate two people at once for a last minute appointment. My cousin mentioned this place near her home, so we decided to start there. We were greeted at the door with the two options for a massage: Swedish or Deep Tissue. My cousin chose Swedish and I chose Deep Tissue. We were both escorted into our own rooms. My masseuse knew every point of my body that needed work. The only time she talked was when I asked her a question and started talking myself. Otherwise, it was a very quiet, relaxing, peaceful massage. She completed the whole hour v. the 50 minutes. After the massage and stepping out of the room, my masseuse gave me a cup of water (common courtesy in the massage world). I gave my masseuse a $10 tip, which is typical of what I would have done for a good massage down here in San Diego. She smiled and said thank you. My cousin tipped her masseuse $6 - she did NOT complain. For $40 + tip it was definitely the way to go. I have no complaints and would definitely come back. It was a good experience. read more

This place is always trying to up sell you and the owner is always trying to talk over you. She will argue with the customers as well as the workers. This definitely is not the place you want to go for a relaxing time. I would definitely not recommend thjs place. They overbook and the owner will massage you halfway and the worker would then step it to continue the rest of the massage. What a joke. If you want to be more stressed then come here. read more

I came here one morning to get a full body massage. The friendly receptionist gave me a list and suggested I get the Deep Tissue massage, so I did and paid $40 upfront for the 60 minute massage. The rooms looked pretty clean although I did notice a small hole on the ceiling and became a little paranoid but continued to get my massage. The masseues was a lady of chinese descent and she was very good , she discovered a knot on my right shoulder blade and tried working it. It was around lunch time and I can hear her coworkers talking about ordering lunch and I suddenly heard plates moving which I thought was funny and a little annoying. Although the music that was playing was relaxing enough that it did not bother me very long. After the massage I gave her a $15 tip and thanked her for a great job. I felt really relaxed and rejuvenated after that and will go back. $55 total cost, not bad in my opinion. read more

Lady on the phone was extremely rude and didn't let me talk. There's was a language barrier and I tried my best to help each other understand. Instead she started to yell and hang up on me. When I called again, she continued to be angry. Instead I went in to ask about their Groupon special and they said they didn't accept it. Extremely unprofessional and rude environment read more

Literally the worst massage I have ever had in my life, I am a licensed massage therapist so trust me when I say I understand that this profession is not easy. My wife and I came in for a couples deep tissue massage and we were both greatly disappointed. Both women hit bones in our back and hips and made it extremely painful. They were very unprofessional and couldn't even understand English which made it even worse when we asked for more or less pressure. In the middle of the massage both women left for almost 10 minuets with no warning. And when the massage was finished they tapped on our bodies and said "okay finished" As we left the room the three woman hovered around the door and pretty much demanded a tip. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

OMG! I just had a Swedish massage at Harmony and it was excellent. Just the right pressure, soothing, peaceful and just what the doctor ordered. I had a sore neck and back from over exercising, but this was just the right form of relief. I will be back!! read more

I've seen a sign for this place driving by, and finally lured into trying it through groupon. The place is nice, at the front desk I was suggested to pay extra for the "deep tissue", which was unnoticible. Overall was alright, not enough to return though. read more

Very relaxed!Highly recommend!!! By waking in, had a very nice one! The front desk lady is very friendly! I like this place! read more

First time I had really good experience here! But the 2nd time I went back, I was pissed! We call and make an appointment around 3 -4 hours ahead. When we get there, the girl who work over there told me: I just called you our girl messed up the schedule so you need to wait around 30 minutes. She also said we can do one first so since he has to wait 30 minutes why don't you do 1.5 hours so you can finish the same time! And she will give me a hot stone for extra! Before I say yes, I told her I need strong girl to do my body cause i have muscles if the girl is not strong enough, she won't be able to help me! Front desk said: oh ya! For sure!! Guess what! The first 5 minutes, I already know she's not the right one so I told her I need someone else! NO! their answer is NO! ok! Fine! I really don't want to argue with them! And then when she use hot stone on me, SHE BURNED ME WITH THAT HOT STONE!!! My back was burned! I told front desk and guess what she said: on really! Sorry! That's it!! Nothing more! The Masseur ran out and ask for TIPS! Excuse me! TIPS!! You were not doing your job when providing the service and also BURNED me! Now you told me I need to TIP you! You must kidding me! The worst part is the owner ! The owner told me she has opened this place for many many years, they never had this problem !! So I asked her are you telling me I am the one who has problem?? Oh my god! Just want to inform you guys, make sure they have the time right and they don't put super HOT STONE on you! Honestly, I will not suggest you this place at all! read more

Got treated to a Mother's Day massage by family, Amy was the girl who massaged me and she was amazing. I got a deep tissue massage for an hour and it was heaven, I actually fell asleep during part of it. Everyone is super nice, very accommodating. It's a little hole in the wall but it's clean, professional and they give awesome massages. Definitely going to make this a monthly treat to myself! read more

I've been coming to Harmony for over 5 years. It's such a relaxing experience. Gloria (Manager) is always so friendly.

I have been here for years. I really like this place. Great quality massage at a very competitive price!

It's the best massage I've had in town! I loved the deep tissue massage, they use oil on my whole body and I feel very relaxed after the massage! The price for a Swedish massage is only $35/hr! I definitely will go back! read more

Went for the first time and had a great experience. Tried the deep tissue massage and the masseuse, Ann, had incredible technique. She provided lots of pressure (which is what I had asked for!). The service was great, I'll definitely be back. This is the most cost effective place I've come across in the South Bay, especially for a deep tissue massage. read more

They have a groupon price of $35/hr, but everyone can get that price without going through groupon. When you called to confirm, they will tell you they are charging $35/hr. When you arrive at the store, they will ask you to do deep tissue massage, which is $5 more. My friend and I agreed to have the deep tissue massages. they requested us to pay upfront, so I had them charged on my credit card, the lady asked me to sign but leave the total amount blank. I explained to her that she can charge my card and I will sign and write the total amount with tips later. She insisted that I had to sign first and showed me other customers' signed receipts, those customers also left the total amount blank. We were asked if we wanted to be a shared room, we said yes. We got ready and lie on the massage bed facing down. When the two female masseuse came in, they talked in Chinese for a while, something like they would like to massage my friend than myself, (because I am a big lady). I felt a little hurt, but I understand that it is harder to massage a big lady like me. I wouldn't want to massage someone like my size if I was the masseuse. The massage was okay, the masseuse knew what she is doing. My friend didn't enjoy hers because the masseuse was basically just rubbing her instead of deep tissue massage. The masseuse also disappeared for a couple minutes to get hot towels and figuring out how to play a cd on the boom box. The the worse thing happened at the end. We finished massage and got dressed. When went up to the counter to write the total amount on the receipt. I put a $7 tip for each masseuse. When I ready to leave the place, the lady at the counter said, "oh $7 tip for each one." I said, "Yes, is that okay?" She said, "umm, it's fine, but normally customer pays $12-$15 per hour." I was surprised and said "really? people paying that much? that's like more than 25% and more tips." she showed an unhappy face and said, Yes. people do. In order not to embarrass my friend and myself, I rewrote the receipt and gave a $10 tip per masseuse. I felt very bad and I told myself not to go there again. read more

So I went here loved to the massage people were nice until I was ready to leave I left a pretty good tip and as I was walking out the door the receptionist asked for a bigger tip I thought so rude of them to all for more I would never ask my guest to leave me a bigger tip and I'm a waitress I told her no thats all I have and I walked out read more

This is no longer a 4.5 star establishment. Don't be fooled by their rating. The establishment is dirty, the massesues lack professionalism (they will answer multiple calls during your massage session), and worst of all, they will give half-ass massages. These massesues will follow a routine and they will ignore instructions. Two way communication does not exist here. Even if they find your knots, they will gloss over them and not actually work them out. Bottom line: Don't waste your money here, this place won't help you find relief. read more

Awesome job for the price I paid! I got a groupon deal for $35. The woman had me undress in a room and lay facedown. I was really pleased and had a good experience. The woman took out the knot I had between my shoulder blades under my neck from sleeping wrong on a high pillow. I would come back. read more

I go to this place whenever I need a massage, don't want to pay too much for it, and want to go to a place that is relatively clean and well lit. The phrase "you get what you pay for" really does come into play here. The massage is cheap and they are opened very late every day. Here are a few tips based on my experience: 1) Most of the masseuses do not speak English. If you want to get a massage that will concentrate on your shoulder or neck and you don't speak Mandarin, you need to inform the front desk so that the receptionist at the front can let the masseuse know. 2) If you get a deep tissue massage expecting for an actual deep tissue massage, you might not get it if your masseuse ends up being a beginner and only know how to rub your back for the next 60 minutes. Whatever your expectations are, please make sure to inform the receptionist to communicate to the masseuse unless of course you speak their language. Do not expect they will just know. Some masseuses are really good and some are just really bad. Know what you want and you will get what you want. 3) Tips: Most of them expect at least a 20% tip even if they did a horrible job. If might because the massage in general is so cheap. If you don't give them enough, the front desk will inform you to pay more and will prevent you from leaving until you give the masseuse more money. Its hilarious because you give the masseuse the tip, you see her count the money, report the money to the receptionist up front and the receptionist decides if the tip was reasonable or not. If it isn't, the receptionist will say.."she worked really hard on you, was it not good, you should give her more"...and then masseuse sticks out her hand for more money. Word of Advice: The definition of a tip is: a gift of money, over and above payment due for service. When the service is standard or sub-standard, the tip is less. Tips are also voluntary and should not be expected as required payment. If you require it, you should include it in the massage cost. 4) If you buy a groupon or see a online deal for them and think you are getting a discount, please be aware that you are not. The price on the groupon is the same as their regular massage price and during that period they just change their pricing sheet to reflect a really expensive massage and how much less they will give it to you for buying the groupon. So you are not really losing out but your not paying any less than someone without a groupon or deal. read more

for the prices you pay, the service is exceptional. the masseuses are very friendly here and totally compliment your body (ha ha ha) though the person i want says she doesnt do it (front desk) but she DID do me once and won't let me schedule her, saying the others are far better. but i beg to differ! i need to learn their names to request the same people. they are very professional here. there are tons of rooms, one couple room, and a lot of single rooms. there are few of those foot massage chairs. the place is really clean and neat. read more

Harmony Acupuncture and Massage is definitely a 5 Star Health center. Every one of their Massage Therapist are excellent! I have been patronizing this place for the past 4 1/2 years due to several back injuries sustained. If you are experiencing aches and pain's, Harmony Acupuncture and Massage is your medicine Bar none! The staff is very professional and well trained. Their prices are more than competitive, they are incredibly inexpensive. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment. You will not be disappointed. P.S. I noticed the negative post by Angelica L and Evelyn H. In my personal opinion they must work for a competitor or something. I have never, I do mean never had an issue with any of the therapists demanding tips! Furthermore, one of them mentioned to watch the curtains. There are no curtains in this place. I question if they have ever gotten a massage or ever been inside of Harmony Acupuncture and Massage of Milpitas, CA. read more

DO NOT BUY A GROUPON FOR THIS PLACE!!! I bought a groupon for a 60 minute massage. I called and made an appointment. When I went there the extremely rude woman at the reception (she said her name was Jenny) told me that I cannot use my valid groupon and should pay her if I want to get a massage! So even after you buy a groupon they want you to pay extra. THIS IS PLAIN CHEATING!!! Please note that their groupon voucher mentions no conditions other than making an appointment, which I did. This lady just wouldn't honor my appointment no matter how much I tried to reason with her. When I asked to speak with the manager/owner she was taken aback and then told me that she could give me a 40 minute massage, even though I had paid for 1 hour (CHEATING again). I insisted on speaking with her manager but she wouldn't give me their details. At this point I was just tired and never wanted to come back but was stuck since I had already paid for the groupon. I agreed for a 40 minute massage but again a raw deal when after 30 minutes the same woman came in and told me its done. So basically I paid for a 60 minutes full body massage but all I got was a 30 minute back rub. The massage was just ok and definitely not worth al this trouble, when there are so many better options available. Save yourself from being cheated by this extremely dishonest establishment! I wish I could give it 0 stars!!! read more

(Updated 10/26/10) Yeah. I maybe spoke too soon and in search of a new massage spot. I think between the time that I started going here and the last time I went they switched management because my usual masseuse isn't there anymore and the receptionist is different. My last massage there...I noticed the masseuse kept checking the clock to see how much time was left. One hour. To the minute. When I had gone there before, I wasn't cut off. My masseuse would finish what she was doing or she knew how to budget her time better. I usually tip five bucks there. No one ever said anything to me before. Mind you...it's a tip. It's voluntary. You're not "required" to give one. This last time I was waiting for my cousin to finish up...the receptionist came up to me and asked how it was and I said "okay". She replied with "well...if you feel good you should tip more. Usual tip here is $10-$15." I was apalled,. So much, in fact, that I didn't find the energy to go off on her. I saw my cousin walk out of her massage room and basically said "let's go" and headed straight to my car. Needless to say...I won't be going back there. I might...just to have them ask for a bigger tip again and have me go off on them on the spot. OH hell no. They did NOT just mess with me. That is all. :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes Yelp drives me crazy. It's like a relationship...I always end up coming back for (un)solicited advice. I literally live around the corner from Harmony. I can make there and back without going through any stop lights...that's how close I live. I kept seeing their "marketing" going up and down Jacklin when I would leave my house or go home. I'm hesitant to get massages because when I go to the Philippines, we have a masseuse that we know come to the house and do an hour full-body massage for roughly five bucks. So, when I see an hour massage cost anything over that I don't care to look into it. I have knots in my shoulders that have been building up for years. And I'm talking at least six years...and I haven't had the money to go get a massage. It has gotten to a point where I have decided that I need to get massages on a regular basis for my health's sake. As wih every other business on Yelp, there were some mixed reviews. I decided to try them out. After all, the worst that can happen is that it'll suck and I just won't go back there. I have been there three times within the span of two-three months. I wanted to go back sooner after my second time, but I had gotten a sunburn and was scared that the massage oils would aggravate my peeling skin. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to go back. When I made an appointment for my two cousins and I the other day, the lady that I had the first two times apparently doesn't work there anymore. I'll be quite upset if I find out this is a lie because she was really good. Regardless, I still left the place satisfied as did my two cousins who had been there for the first time. My knots are subsiding...and I have been patiently waiting for the day that I can finally say that. I will be back soon.... I don't like being chased after for a tip...never good form, but I have come to expect it. I DO LIKE.... *The first time I went...the receptionist took the time to listen to what I needed and explain the different types of massage they offer making it easy for me to make my decision. *Seriously...$40 for a deep tissue massage is well worth it. When I'm rolling a little more in money, I promise to up my five dollar tip. *Convenience for me is amazing. *Throughout my massage, I'm constantly asked if the pressure is too much...to which I can respond it's not enough or "holy shit, can I please leave with my spine in one piece?" *I can tell them "Hey...I have these REALLY bad knots in my left shoulder..." and I will leave being able to tell people they worked my left shoulder for a good part of the time I was in there. *The impartial walls. Call me weird, but a part of the reason I had hesitated on going to a massage spa out here was because of all the "inappropriate" massage talk. Not to mention, I'm claustraphobic. So, I like that if I start to go crazy or if something isn't right, I can easily scream bloody murder. *They always like to reassure their service as you leave. "Do you feel better?" I'll always talk about how my knots are getting better...and it may be a ploy to get me to come back, but they always tell me it will take time for them to go away and it won't happen in one visit. Needless to say...I'll go back. I like it...it always drives me crazy when people are taken aback by the service they get at "those typical Asian places". Seriously. Look at where you live...and look at what you're surrounded by. I actually enjoy the service here. So, yay. :) read more

I was very optimistic about this place, since there were okay reviews on Yelp and when I called in to make an appointment, the girl was so friendly. I should have known why it was cheap! I took my boyfriend here for his first massage for our anniversary so I wanted it to be nice..it was in a super small place with price signs everywhere in the waiting area..when we got in our room, it wasn't that bad. Just like any massage place beside the fact that there were 2 windows covered with curtains which was freaky. He got a deep tissue for $40/ hr & I got the swedish for $35/hr..it started off okay until the lady that I had started breathing all hard, making it so difficult for me to relax...Also I got the swedish massage bc I wanted a soft massage, until she started to hurt me all over my back. I didn't say anything bc I thought I was just tense in those areas, but now I know she was just crasy. The day after my back from neck to tailbone is in pain!! After the massage, I tipped them and the girl at the front had the nerves to tell me to tip more money and I was liek okay, so I doubled it & she still gave me a dirty look! If you hurt me & breathed all up in my face, why would I give you 30% tip!!! ( that's what she asked for). And the last time I check I wasn't obligated to give you tip! If you are trying to go to get a cheap massage, go for it! But special occasion or no pains, I'd suggest you re-think this place! read more

my husband and I availed the couples massage for $69, so i set an appoinment 7pm but when we get there receptionist told us that she just scheduled one person only for that time and that we have to wait an hour for them to accommodate both of us. After all the argument we dont have a choice but to wait. massage is ok. ( so so) but when we're about to leave and hand them the tip which is more than 10% of the amount we purchase the lady is asking for more saying should be minimum of $10 each so basically thats $20. I was like seriously,? thats so rude to ask specially when you know you didnt provide a good service in the first place. read more

Professional massage center with reasonable price. They hardly speak English but demand for minimum $10 tip and they don't accept less than that. I paid for full body massage but They did only back massage and never turned me to massage front legs and hands. They need lot of improvement read more

First of all, there is something seriously wrong when a business tells you it prefers you pay in cash, cheat on your taxes much? The massage was supposed to cost $35.00/hr and it was just an okay massage but after it was over my $5.00(15%) tip wasn't enough and the receptionist (the only English speaking person there) told me that they get a $10.00 (30%) minimum tip. Funny, no one mentioned that to me before the massage and I didn't see anything about that on their ad? So this is really a $45.00/hr massage and false advertising. Not really worth it, I'd go somewhere else if I were you. read more

This is a definitely 5 stars must go place if you want to relax on the weekend. The therapists are very professional and I felt I'm reborn after the massage. Definitely will go back read more

They demand a minimum tip which is $15! Not good customer service. The massage is a hit or missed! Not going back again.

Went in for a massage yesterday with a few friends. We went in not knowing what to expect. We were greeted and taken into the room right away. The massage wasn't the best but wasn't bad either. I could hear everything that was going on outside in the waiting area/ front which wasn't too nice. When leaving my friends decided to split the tip between both of their therapists and the receptionist ask if that was all the money they were giving. I mean REALLY if you get a tip you should be thankful not question it. I will not be returning. read more

False advertising! They have a sign out that says $35/hr full body massage. However they refuse to give you that price and only have the 40/hr avail. So I bought in for the $40/hr. The massage was terrible and forces you to tip 15-20. Not going back. read more

This is the first time to this place. Very clean, professional and deep tissue they mean it. Reception to massage room, every corner is clean. I did not know they existed. I became a fan of this place. read more

Terrible customer service and bad massage treatment. Not worth it at all. Ask for more tips even when being paid. The worth place I have ever seen that kind of people with service. Groupon should kick them out. read more

I love this place! I really can't afford to get a message as much as I need to, but this place hits a perfect fit for me price wise. It's nice, clean, and the two times I have gone It was the same lady and both times I walked away feeling so much better then when I walked in. Totally worth every penny. I have gotten Deep tissue and Swedish both were good, but I think I'm going to stick with Deep tissue because I don't get to go in as much as I would like to and I need some deep work. However if you are sensitive or bruise easy stick with the Swedish, when they say deep they mean it. read more

The place is easy to find and plenty of parking. The receptionist was very knowledgable and kind. Angela was my messeuse and she did a wonderful job. A little harder around the neck than i wanted, but not enough for me to say something and interrupt the flow. The price is great $35 for an hour massage and about $10 for tip. Totally worth it. I know i'll be returning. read more

This is the best massage place I have been. Their massagers are very professional to do deep pressure massage. I really love this place environment and massage ladies. I came here twice each week. Their service is super good and price is cheaper than other places. I really enjoy it! read more

Awesome Massage , the place is extremely clean and peaceful. The Massage Therapist was very considerate and did and amazing job.

I've been going here for at least 1 year now and I've probably been there 8 times. $40 for a 1 hour deep tissue massage is totally worth it plus a $10 tip. The ladies never fail to put me to sleep (that's a good thing). If I go earlier than my appointment time there's always someone available right away for my massage. read more

I called to set up a time for acupuncture. The lady that answered told me that I need to make and appointment for acupressure. I explained that I wanted acupuncture and not acupressure. She repeated the the same thing again. I asked to you do acupuncture? She said no! Why do they waste our time with misleading advertisement? Why do they post services they do not do? It is nothing but a bait and switch scam read more
