My fiancé and I came to Immersion Spa for the first time to celebrate our anniversary, and overall we had a really great experience! We were originally just looking for a couples massage, but what sold us on Immersion was that the massage also included access to all of the spa amenities. We booked a couples deep tissue massage and both enjoyed it. I'd personally rate the massage itself around a 7.5-8/10--definitely above average, although not necessarily the best massage I've ever had. That said, the entire spa experience really elevated the visit and made it feel well worth it. The facility was very clean, peaceful, and relaxing, and the staff was professional and welcoming. We also loved that they use Aveda products. There were plenty of fresh towels, lockers for our belongings, and slippers were provided, which came in handy since we forgot to bring ours. The amenities were probably our favorite part. We enjoyed the steam room, dry sauna, cold plunge, and small heated pool. They also had snacks available, which was a nice touch. The spa is clothing optional, but the atmosphere felt comfortable, respectful, and relaxing. We came on a Wednesday and it wasn't busy at all, which made the experience even better. We never felt crowded or rushed and were able to really enjoy the facilities before and after our massage. Overall, while I'd give the massage itself a 7.5-8/10, I'd give the overall experience 5 stars. Between the massage, amenities, cleanliness, and relaxing atmosphere, it was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We would definitely come back! read more

Immersion Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Yes! It was amazing and clean!! I appreciate the amenities (salt room, dry sauna, steam room, clean showers, clean locker room). I also appreciate that they push to turn off or silence phones. Unplugging is the way to go when visiting these types of facilities. Also, the massages were fantastic - I got the deep tissue massage and I felt like a new woman after. My boyfriend also felt the same way. I teased him after about him making noises when getting a massage lol. He very much enjoyed it as this was a birthday present for him! We will definitely be doing this as a ritual every 3 to 4 months! Note: the only issue I had was parking - extremely hard to find parking. We recommend that you come at least 1 hour before your appointment, not only because of the parking issue, it also gives you ample time to enjoy the extra amenities that I listed above which comes with every service you book for. read more

Review for Immersion Spa ‍ I absolutely loved this place, and to this day, I still miss it. When I lived in the Bay Area, I was a faithful and loyal customer at Immersion. It became one of my favorite self-care rituals. I would bring family and friends, and I went regularly--about once every quarter. It was something I always looked forward to. There is currently no Korean spa in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I live now, and the closest option is in Atlanta. So yes... boo-hoo. Nothing quite compares to this experience. What made Immersion special was the sense of freedom and relaxation the moment you walked through the door. The spa is thoughtfully organized, very clean, and beautifully maintained. You store your belongings in secure lockers, receive a waterproof wristband, and then the entire experience begins. I always arrived at least 90 minutes before my massage so I could fully enjoy the amenities. That extra time was part of the magic. My favorite features included: * The hot tub and invigorating cold plunge * The wet sauna and dry sauna * The gentle, calming warmth of the Himalayan salt room * Complimentary roasted tea and water * High-quality bath and shower products in the women's area * A peaceful, well-run environment with clear structure and cleanliness standards Everything felt intentional and relaxing. My go-to service was always the Fusion massage, which blends shiatsu and deep tissue techniques using organic coconut oil. The therapists were incredibly skilled and intuitive--they knew exactly how to work out tension and restore balance. Some of the best massages I've ever had were here. Over the years, prices have increased slightly--as they have everywhere. I remember paying around $100 before COVID, and later seeing it closer to $130. Even so, the value of the experience made it worth every dollar. I was there hook, line, and sinker. A few practical notes for future guests: * Parking is limited and shared with neighboring businesses (including Kumon), so timing matters * The spa has separate men's and women's areas * No outside shoes are allowed inside the spa * Clothing is optional in designated areas, which is standard for Korean spa culture * Plan to arrive early to fully enjoy the amenities before your service One service I personally never tried was the traditional Korean body scrub. I watched others experience it, and while many people love it, it looked a little too intense for my taste. That said, the massages and spa amenities are absolutely exceptional. If you're considering a membership, it's worth exploring. This is the kind of place that becomes part of your routine once you experience it. I still haven't found anything in the Southeast that truly matches the level of service, atmosphere, and overall experience of Immersion. I keep looking--but this one set the bar very high. Treat yourself. You deserve it. read more

Best spa I've been to in the Bay Area so far. Online reservation is recommended, but walk-ins are easily available on weekdays. The facility is clean and provides slippers, towels, and bath robes. Male and female are separated, except for in the couple's massage room. There's a salt room for women and a jade room for men, a dry sauna, steam room, hot tub, and cold plunge. I always like to get the "black tie" which entails 25min of Silky Scrub + 85 minutes of deep tissue massage, or any massage of your choice. The full body exfoliating scrub is unique to Korean spas. The technique of the masseuse is very professional and skillful. Highly recommend if you haven't been here yet! read more

Got the Silky scrub thats 25 minutes. Bare minimum, a full body scrub with a shampoo and she even did a face wash for me which I didnt expect (the online description doesn't mention it). I think i'll keep doing this option! They changed the tipping system, you pay after your service and can tip with your card. They also accept cash, venmo and zelle for tip as well. read more

Immersion Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Palo Alto, California

It is easily accessible and has a parking lot. We came around 10 before our appointment at 12 to use the amenities. When we enter, we check in and are given a body towel and hair/face towel. We also were given a key to the lockers. It's two different sections; women's and men's area. Once we got the key you open the door to the area and get shoes. Then you switch shoes and go to the locker area where you can change etc. This spa is swimsuit optional and majority of women did not wear swimsuits. We put on our robes and go to the main area where there's a jacuzzi, cold plunge, eucalyptus steam room, and dry sauna. Then in between that area, they have the scrub section where you get the Korean scrub. When it was our turn our number was called (same number as our locker). They recommend soaking 15-20 minutes before your treatment. The full body scrub was so rejuvenating. They really scrub thoroughly and also wash your hair/face. My lady Lee was so great! Then right after the scrub, we booked a massage. It was also very relaxing and the pressure was good. It was very relaxing also. The whole day was a great experience. After the massage, we showered and then got ready in the area with hair dryers and skincare near the lockers. It was a great and relaxing day. If you want a quiet spa experience, this may not be the best one for you because you can hear talking from one area to other areas. Also, the shower area isn't fully enclosed and are mini stalls so if you aren't comfortable with that, just note that before you come. I loved this place and will be back! read more

My sister-in-law and I have been going to Immersion since before the pandemic. We have always had a great experience there. The last time I went for the Scrub Plus treatment I didn't have the best experience. In fact it's been almost a week since and I still have a bruise on my arm. I gave an email feedback to Immersion and I never received a response back or an acknowledgment that they received my email. So for this I couldn't give them a 5 star rating. I'm big on customer service and I feel that someone could have at least acknowledged that I took the time to send them feedback. read more

They have improved since the last time I went and I love it even more! New and more small amenities that make your experience nicer, better signage and communication, and new scrub bed surfaces that are less slippery. I always get a scrub and never the same one since I never can decide what extra perks I want with my Korean scrub. I only utilize the showers (both sitting and standing), hot tub, the phone/sitting area when I have to send a text or email, sometimes the salt room, and then the finishing (?) room. If it's your first time, be sure to ask for the procedure, not sure they will always know as some check in attendants aren't as attentive to your account as I had a gift card on my account but they went straight to charging me for the services. My only feedback to them is that the website services listed differ from the booking site that you're taken to after you click "Book". Likely just an oversight when they built out the website, but definitely check your email for full details of what you booked, not the website! read more

Went here last month (or so) for a GDO with 2 gfs. I was a little apprehensive purely because I didn't know what to expect. (First time visiting a bath house...) Front staff wasn't as inviting as you would think a place like this would be too create a feeling of welcoming and relaxation. There was a lot of info/instructions given and by the time I was brought back into the locker room and amenities area, I kinda forgot what they were. I would DEF RECOMMEND bringing thin sandals next time mainly for the restroom use, feels a little gross to go in barefooted IMO. Overall, the place is pretty small. There's a Himalayan Salt dry Sauna--prob my fav, a steam room, cold plunge, and a hot tub, and a shower and blow dry area for after when you are done and need to get ready to leave. My lady who did the bath was excellent. As mentioned, I had no idea what to expect but the moment I laid down, she poured the perfect temp water all over my body to wash. Then she did a pretty lengthy scrub and massage and everything felt GREAT! (Front, back, side positioning and all. ) In the final cleanse she told me to put my hands together and cupped and she poured a milk like substance and told me to put in my face and THAT smelled and felt SO GOOD! (Don't know if they offered that but I would've bought it!) I don't know if I'd come back to this one, but I'd definitely try another place to compare. (Later that week, I kinda suspected that her hard scrub might bring about open pores to create "bumps" on the back of my arms and it did, but in a good way. ) Definitely a unique experience. (No pics were allowed. ) read more

The place has come along way... It use to have alot of unexpected activity between patrons but highly has improved. They have a unknown person mingling amoung the patrons and if anything is observed that clearly misconduct is quickly addressed and they are asked to leave the facility, so if you plan on coming here for that type of behavior rest assure you will be observed and dealt with. Overall the place has seen many upgrades and enhancements and the improvements really help the place stand out. It always kept clean, Plenty of towels to services your visit and staff are always pleasant. If you never experienced a clean well maintained sauna then you must come and try out. It has the most unique features ...Steam room, dry room Jade room hot jacuzzi and a cold plunge. I recommend this place... read more

Excellent service from Kim and Rosa. The spa was exceptionally clean, professional, and welcoming. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the experience relaxing from start to finish. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning. read more

My husband and I had some free time without the kids so we decided on getting a massage. We called day of and the spa had an appt for a couples massage same day. We arrived about 45 min prior to our appt so we can try out the amenities. Theres plenty of parking. The receptionist was fairly friendly however since it was our first time there I expected some kind of tour but she just talked us through the different sides. When you walk in through the lockers, they ask you place your shoes on a shelf or inside your locker. They don't allow flip flops or slippers throughout the spa. I felt like maybe they should offer some disposable ones or reusable slippers.. I thought I was going to fall and slip since a lot of the floor was went from the amenities. They ask for a phone free environment which is nice and have a small area in the front of the locker area for cell phone use. As far as the amenities.. the eucalyptus steam room was great. The sauna was good too except I wish I got a little hotter. The hot tub was a huge NO for me. The jets weren't on... there were already a couple people in there.. and assumed they didn't want it on. I went in to just feel the water and you can just see things in the water that totally grossed me out. I immediately went out. The ice pool was nice and refreshing if you plan on doing any circuits. And the salt room was quiet and relaxing. For the massage it was good. The techniques they do differ from your typical Burke Williams type massage.. it felt a bit more rough and quick, but the pressure was great. Overall I give this place a 3.5 for my experience. My husband though thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Would I come back? Probably.. I would just skip out on the tub if it doesn't look too sanitary. I hear the scrubs are really good so may be back to try that. read more

Visited for the first time yesterday night. What an interesting vibe. There was an older white gentleman, maybe Russian (?), he was wearing one of those hats for the sauna. Anyways, he kept looking at two younger Latino looking guys. At one point in the locker area he had his phone out (sort of looked like he was taking pictures but couldn't tell). The 2 Latino guys kept trying to ignore him and he seemed annoyed. I don't know what happened, but he said something to one of the workers, and the worker said something to them. They left quickly after. The Russian guy watched them leave while having his phone out in the locker area (couldn't tell what he was doing) which just seemed strange. I'm not used to the nudity and it was uncomfortable seeing the phone out so I didn't stay more than an hour. This type of place probably isn't for me. read more

This place was amazing. My best friend took me here on my birthday and we loved it. Not a whole lot of amenities to choose from that come included, but its so relaxing. We ended up doing the body scrub, body wrap and massage as well and it was great. Everyone is very friendly, establishment is clean, and we met some friendly women there as well and had great conversation. Would definitely come back read more

OMG. My mom, sister and I treat ourselves to massages together annually and have tried various places across the Bay Area - including super swanky spas - hands down the Pure Bliss treatment and massage was all our favorite - we will be back! The Pure Bliss starts with a Korean body scrub, the one where they remove all your dead skin which is incredibly satisfying (and a little horrifying), then a warm rinse followed by a *very* thorough and very relaxing massage, in which they even wash your hair for you, followed by a milk cleanse for your face. Our treatment ladies were all very hardworking and professional - I can't believe how hard they work in these 90 minute treatments. Don't expect to be fawned over - these are Korean ajummas - all business, and I love it. You will never feel as clean and refreshed afterwards! I recommend arriving 90 minutes early to enjoy the Himalayan salt room, hot tub, cold plunge, sauna and steam rooms as you like. Can wear swimsuit or go naked (women-only area). The treatments/massages take place in a small area next to the hot tub/steam/sauna room, so it's a different setting than usual massages and not quite as private but you have your own curtained area and it all was amazing. It's possible to book multiple massages simultaneously if you go with friends/family which is also nice since we always like to go together. read more

Outdated hairdryers, poor service- no one checks inside the spa area to insure calm and quiet atmosphere.

Good value massage with great masseuses. I wear a bathing suit as I still can't get in my birthday suit in front of everyone, but that's OK. It's not the fanciest but it's so affordable that I can go once a week! read more

12/14/24 For my birthday this year, I wanted to do something relaxing, so my husband and I decided to try out Immersion Spa. I booked the Pure Bliss treatment which consists of a full body scrub, massage, face mask and milk rinse. When you book online, your credit card is used to hold the slot; you pay for the treatment when you get there. You can check in earlier to use the amenities: the hot tub, salt room, steam room, and ice plunger. They are located in a small plaza, with a small parking lot in front. When you enter, you will see the front desk, then based on your gender, you will go either left (men) or right (women) Zach and I were 20-30 minutes early. He went to park and I went in first. After checking in, I went to the women's side and placed my things in a locker that they loan you for the time you are there. It felt weird, but I got fully naked so I wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb with my undergarments still on. While I was waiting for my treatment to begin, I utilized the hot tub and the steam room. It was very quiet inside which was nice. I would have preferred to listen to my music to help pass the time, but they have a rule that you can't use your phones while in the spa. My entire treatment was about 90 minutes. I was helped by Michelle. I had never gotten a body scrub so it felt really rough, but I understand that she needed to do that to scrape off the dead skin. It was kinda gross to see my dead skin all over the table and floor, but my skin felt so smooth and soft by the end of it. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. The next section is my husband's experience: READER BEWARE.............. Unfortunately, Zach had a TERRIBLE experience. When he got into the men's locker room, he saw that many of the men were naked. He didn't feel comfortable so he kept his underwear on and wrapped a towel around his waist also. He loves using the steam room so he went in there to wait until it was time for his massage. In the steam room, there was a couple in there engaging in oral s*x and the guy doing it looked at my husband and gave him a look then asked "want to join?" My husband declined politely as he could and left the steam room as quickly as possible. He tried not to think about what had just happened and was hoping the massage would take his mind off things. Zach said that his massage was one of the worst ones he ever had. He felt that the lady wasn't applying enough pressure so when he asked for more pressure, she did add more pressure, but at the same time was doing something that burned his skin. Once the massage was done, he quickly dressed and left the spa. He was already out before I was done. He had texted me if I was done, and that he really wanted to leave. read more

Great massage. I did the 80 minute Swedish massage and the masseuse was VERY good. Clean facilities and decent amenities. Would definitely go back. Convenient parking too. read more

Clean, safe, healthy guidelines evidently followed, respectful and professional staff, quiet and relaxing environment, and highly quality products apply on clients, available everywhere to ours used, healthy snacks and refreshments for use, and prices that I can afford. read more

Been coming here for a few months making girls evenings and it's the best. It is a very medical style appt, no soft lighting or spa music, no draping for modesty . They will scrub everything professionally and it feels amazing ! Pros: Easy parking , clothing optional ( gender separation ), great price , clean facility, crazy talented staff. Cons: small-ish so sometimes gets louder than it should in a place to relax. Love this place . Will keep going back read more

My daughter and I are always looking for daddy daughter dates and Immersion Spa is our latest success story. The front desk had two young ladies that were super polite and got us setup. We arrived early so we could take advantage of the showers, saunas and hot tubs. The locker rooms and sauna areas are divided by gender and are full of amenities. After that we met with our massage therapist and had the best 85 minutes of deep tissue work. Post massage we headed back to the separate locker rooms and had full access to the amenities again. Check out was positive and our friends at the front desk were just as supportive and kind. I've seen other reviews of other Spas harassing clients for tips or add on services this is not the case at Immersion. Additionally I left my water bottle at the spa and when I contacted them they had it waiting for pick up. I recommend this place for daddy daughter dates, solo self care or a couples retreat! read more

I really enjoyed wandering the amenities before getting the pure bliss services including Korean traditional scrub; massage; hair massage; facial collages. I also liked the Korean specialist, Lee. She showed me her body gestures due to my Deafness. She did a great job!!! read more

The facility is so clean. Not so crowded and my Executive Massage combo was amazing. Theres some snacks in the vicinity and water dispenser for hydration. read more

Horrible experience. This is the fast food of Korean Spas. There is no place to lounge, they rush you around like cattle, and it was aweful customer support. The massage room was incredibly loud and the hot tub was old and looked green on the bottom. Opposite of relaxing...don't go. read more

I enjoyed going there when I lived closer to the area, it would be peaceful until certain men would come in and in a way ruin the experience for others. Older Indian man with a beer belly would touch himself and sit really close to other men, the older Indian man would basically let you know if you can touch yourself or not and if you didn't want to do it then he would report you and say that you're being inappropriate. À group of us were shocked when that happened, sad we didn't speak up but we didn't want the man to point more fingers at others. I do appreciate how often they check in the saunas for this. read more

It was just alright. Kind of small place. What set the tone off to a wierd start was the off putting redhead receptionist girl. She wasn't really welcoming, and it seemed like she just didn't want to be there. It sets the tone for the rest of the visit. read more

If you enjoy using the spa before a scheduled treatment, the price point to do so is excellent, and this spa is one of the cleanest! However, you must be comfortable roaming in the nude. No spa slippers or bathing suits are permitted when using the hot tub, ice bath, sauna, steam room or salt room. Don't forget cash for tips! My gf and I had our scheduled massages for 11:30 and decided to arrive about 30 minutes early to indulge in the spa amenities. The friendly front desk girls will give you a couple towels, a robe and a locker key at the time of check-in. Once you enter the spa, shoes are to be removed at the door and items stored in your assigned locker. Turn your cell phone down and continue preserving the serenity in the atmosphere with little to no talking. We disrobed and entered the hot tub. Then, we made our way to the ice bath for a minute which makes you feel amazing before entering the eucalyptus steam room. From the steam room, we spent our final moments before massage time soaking in the calming effects in the salt room. As our appointment approached, we had some hot tea, sat in the tiny waiting area until the ladies called us by locker number. The deep tissue massage was extremely relaxing, loosened up my whole body (including my face/head) and really put the icing on the cake for the entire experience. These ladies have strong hands! Once, our session was over, we returned to the shower area to remove the oils and wash our hair. The provision of Aveda products for hair and skin is very much appreciated! They have combs, blow dryer and after shower hair conditioning treatment also. On our way out, we dropped our envelopes with cash tips for our masseuses and headed to lunch! This is a perfect way to start a Sunday. I've heard much about those phenomenal body scrubs and am looking forward to my next treatment here! read more

Immersion Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Palo Alto, California

The facilities are nice. The overall experience of a scrub and treatment remains top notch. Some things felt a bit different from before though. The massage was less intense and I ended up with a splinter on my skin as a result of the scrubbing. The cream that was used on the face didn't smell nice either. read more

I don't know what kind of sorcery this place has, but my experience was perfection. I went on 5/12/26. It was a Mother's Day gift. My daughter and I went an hour early and enjoyed the amenities, hot tub,dry/wet sauna and cold plunge. Then we were swept away to what began as an out-of-body experience. If you are shy, then this place is not for you. They proceeded to scrub down every inch of my body for about 30 minutes, then washed me down with buckets of warm water and soap. Then came the hot oil massage, again, every inch, then another body wash, a facial mask of some sort, hair wash, and head massage. From start to finish, we were there for about 3 hours. Absolute perfection. Grand total $180.00. My ladies name was Gina!! read more

Deliciously decadent. So enjoyed every moment. Can't wait to go back. My skin is so soft, muscles extremely relaxed and I feel rejuvenated. read more

Too small with too many people. Rooms could only sit mostly 3 people and there were more than that number of people present. Need hooks for robes -- too many used ones on shelves. Too many self washing stations that nobody used -- better to have lounge chairs instead. There are better competitors in the area and elsewhere. read more

Great spot, totally welcoming staff. Trans patrons can feel welcomed and not ostracized or judged. Even the scrub went the exact it same way it would've for anyone else without any weirdness or anything. The massage therapist Rosa was great! Amazing service. read more

The facilities are great plenty of amenities very clean and very well organized. Scrub was wonderful.

Immersion Spa does a great job of taking traditional Korean sauna/spa (JjimJil Bang) and making it modern and approachable for those new to it, and to dip their toes into this spa culture! It is fully nude, if you are not comfortable with that please book a private spa/sauna room. It is a communal experience. I opted for a scrub and a spa pass which includes the hot tub, cold plunge, dry sauna and steam room. The spa/sauna is on the small side but enjoyed the bright light within the pool area. The sitting area to wash up is plentiful and great if you decide to scrub yourself there if not choosing the service. The sauna is on the smaller side I would say maybe 3 people fit comfortable, but nice and hot. Steam room was infused with eucalyptus and wasn't too steamy and decent visibility. Salt room was warm enough, relaxing and quiet. The scrub here at Immersion is probably one of the better scrubs I've had! For those unfamiliar, this service is not meant to be relaxing by any means. They are literally scrubbing every nook and cranny to exfoliate you from head to toe. Being scrubbed down, flipped around and getting water sloshed onto your body does feel like you're going through a human car wash ... but it's so worth it! The shampoo, head massage and face washing reminded me of core memories as a child and my mother figures. Yujin was very sweet and checked to make sure pressure was okay during the scrub and was very detailed. Instructions to reposition were short commands. It was enough to understand, but just language barrier things ig. I actually like the beds here as they aren't too slippery with just enough texture and soft enough. I love that Immersion carries Aveda products and helped myself to their facial toner and hair products. There are other basics like brushes that you can sanitize, hair dryers and hair products. They also provide an herbal tea which was hot and a relaxing way to end my spa day. I did think it was strange that they did not have a slipper option when not in shoes, but the floors were textured and did not seem slick at all. I also like that they provide simple robes, opposed to the bright and boxy uniform looking attire they usually provide at other Korean spas. The spa/sauna is gender separated here. Typically, K spas have separated ares for just hot tubs and services. In communal areas, they are coed and family oriented. As well as a dining area. There are no communal areas for coed or dining here. Please bring cash for tips for your services! read more
