JR is amazing masseuse! I'm a runner and desk worker so always have tight legs and neck and back, and he does such a wonderful job focusing on those areas, getting to the root of the tension. read more

Consistently the best massages for years. They always have well trained staff. Go, you'll be happy you did.

I cannot recommend JR more! He approaches massage with such an educated whole body approach that really works. He'll do stretches, or release tension behind my arms that I didn't realize was causing my neck pain - it's like seeing a chiropractor without any risk. I always feel incredibly relaxed AND have my issues resolved after seeing him! And he's super kind and personable - I sometimes struggle to voice my preferences for pressure during massages (recovering people-pleasure here!) and he is excellent at checking in, as well as super responsive if something changes throughout. In-symmetry itself is also super easy to book (and reschedule, because working parent life is real), and the space is lovely. I've been coming here for years! The owner has always been super responsive if there are issues, like a last minute illness or scheduling miscommunication. Parking can be tough, but there's a bike loop right out front. And sometimes I stroll over to Tartine Manufactory afterwards for a post-massage bliss lunch. read more

Probably one of the Best facials I've ever had! I came in on mothers Day to inquire about services and ended up trying the facial with an additional foot massage! My skin is glowing, and I can honestly say I feel Soooo good and will be back again and again! Everyone is super kind, and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge about skincare and massage services. Here are my before and after pics. As you can see, I have tons of hyperpigmentation I'm working on clearing up. However, it looks like my skin benefited from the products used during my facial! Sending my immense gratitude to you, Cadance for creating this space which is needed more than you know. read more

Review of MASON ENGLING I have been a massage therapist for 18 years. Now specializing in medical rehabilitation massage and a therapist for the San Francisco Ballet. Having said all that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Bodywork and am very particular who I go to. Today, I received a massage from Mason Engling. He is a very skilled therapist great manual skill. Great understanding of Anatomy and Physiology and how to apply the manual skills necessary to get the best therapeutic result. With an intuitive understanding of depth and pressure. Most importantly he listened during the intake and totally addressed what I requested. I would highly recommend him. read more

I have been working w Candice on release for my jaw and neck...she is amazing...after 3 visits I have far less pain and learning to how to take care of myself better...highly recommend read more

I've started going to see Candace recently for TMJ and it has been a really great experience. She is clearly experienced in treating the condition and I learned a ton from her in just our first session. I finally feel like I have found someone that will help me solve this problem which is an amazing feeling. She is also super nice, gracious, professional, and funny! Would absolutely recommend trying them out! read more

The treatments I have received here, both facials and massages, are phenomenal. The body workers are invested in healing as opposed to temporary relief. They are invested in your well-being. If you need a product to support relief from pain they'll find it to you. If you need a set amount of sessions they'll approximate it for you but they'll never try to trick you into more sessions. These are all genuinely kind and talented folks. Best place in all of The City for body work. read more

Janella is an amazing massage therapist and I was a new woman after 90 minutes with her! Thank you so much In Symmetry Spa. It's such a lovely space and has such wonderful energy that I really should come up with more reasons to go there than massage.‼ read more

Just moved across the street at Madelone. Loved my first deep tissue massage from Wil Hendricks. They really know muscle & skeletal structure. I have a pretty pelvic tilt, ie I lean one direction with my hips being more forward on one side and therefore one leg is longer and one side more condensed. That said, they know how to get the knots and tension out and what to recommend for self care in between massages. It was an easy check in and great overall massage experience from In-Symmetry! read more

I enjoyed my first experience at In-Symmetry and was extremely pleased with my facial by Michelle. I felt comfortable and relaxed and the facility was clean and comfy. I will definitely go back ! read more

I had a my first massage at In-Symmetry today with Sara as my massage therapist, and I was thoroughly happy with my one hour massage. I was asked what problem areas I had and what I liked/didn't like from my history with massages. Sara worked through some really bad shoulder tightness I had without forcing anything. I 100% recommend this spa! My boyfriend also went today and thought his masseuse was wonderful too. read more

I am giving in symmetry spa and Kelly Rounds five stars because I experienced five star treatment. I had the most relaxing one hour facial with Miss Kelly, she is highly educated in her trade, and knows everything there is to know about skin. My skin is very sensitive, and the facial Kelly gave me worked out perfectly, it's been a few days now, and my skin still feels and looks amazing, and she even got some fine lines and wrinkles to disappear!! Her manners and demeanor are just impeccable, and she made me feel so relaxed and took care of me, if you want this amazing experience book a facial with Kelly, you will not be disappointed read more

Had the most amazing facial yesterday at In-Symmetry Spa (San Francisco Mission). Their new esthetician partner Studio Soothe is so unique, I've never had a facial that focused on massage before, was so cool to get an expert like Minette to do gua sha and other massage techniques to my face, head, neck, and shoulders. I was so relaxed after I immediately went to sleep so peacefully. This is such a perfect addition to my fave results-driven massage spa, now I can get awesome facials and massages in one convenient place! Highly recommend any services at this gem. read more

I really liked Arina. She was down to earth and easy to talk to. Very present, and obviously into her work. Great facial massage too, which is what I asked for. read more

For some years now, this spa has been a relaxing oasis in the heart of Mission Creek, a gem of a mixed use neighborhood that features residential, light industrial, and small businesses/cafes (i.e.Tartine Manufactory!) that make a visit worthwhile. I've been getting bodywork here for years, and always been happy with the results. Candace, the owner, is easy to communicate with and makes everyone feel at ease. The treatment rooms have been recently refreshed and provide tranquil vibes. Recently, I decided to add facials to my self care repertoire, and I'm so glad I did! I had a wonderful facial from Irina that left me feeling soothed and centered all day. Highly recommended! read more

I've had several massages here. RJ is great at deep tissue! my new regular massage place.

I had a fantastic gua sha facial with Kelly. I am someone who is prone to lots of redness, but incredibly, I have had the most even, smoothest skin since I had my facial one week ago. Cannot recommend enough!! read more

Janella is really great. Talented, knowledgeable, positive, caring. The site itself is easy to access, always clean, tidy, and straight forward. And I really appreciate Candice's responsiveness on email and text. I wish there was a hot tub for soaking on site! read more

I went in today with some discomfort in my neck and shoulders, and I was really impressed with Emily! She was knowledgeable, friendly and the massage was top-notch. I've already booked a return visit! Highly recommend. read more

Facials facial facials! I have acne and complicated skin that I am embarrassed about. This place takes care of your needs with their customized facials. They talk through the process and products they use on you including giving you recommendations for skin care at home. They do a great job with extractions and usually add a neck and face massage. Can't wait to be back! read more

In Symmetry Spa set the gold standard for therapeutic, custom- targeted, results- driven deep tissue massage. The massage therapist Dustin listened to my needs (tense right shoulder, misalignment of neck, tense calves) and focused on those issues. I felt elevated, healed, and strengthened after the session, especially in the week following the treatment. This is truly an effective intervention into overall wellness as well as treating specific muscular skeletal issues. Great vibes, relaxingly spick and span, and friendly peeps! read more

In-Symmetry - Entrance - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

Today I had an incredible facial at In-Symmetry with Irina: the 75 minute Soothe Signature Facial. Irina explained each step of the process and made it such an incredibly relaxing experience. There are just so many wonderful parts to this luxurious facial, the double cleanse, enzyme peel, soothing masques and the fabulous face/neck/shoulder/arm massage!! I don't know any other way to say it - I felt completely transported. My skin is looking so bright, clear and glowy. I really enjoyed it and I feel like I just poured so much love into my skin. I'll be back! Thank you to Irina!!! read more

Great place for some bodywork. Andre was great and the place was super easy to find, quiet and welcoming. I'll be heading back for weekly massages. read more

After reading a talk thread post that Karen K. had written awhile back, about the wonders that Corey can do with skin, I knew I had to make an appointment (for those who have not seen Karen K's skin before....it's beautiful) at In-Symmetry. The moment I walked into In-Symmetry I knew that my experience would be nothing short of pure bliss. The interior is well lit and fresh. There are two cats that lounge around. One (the big orange tabby) contently, the other one (calico) unimpressed that you're disrupting quality time with her owner. It's basically a more organized, more zen, and brighter version of home (well maybe not my home....but a home I'd happily occupy anytime....) I loved it. Corey was very friendly and introduced herself. She already had a glass of water waiting for me. It was apparent in our brief introduction that Corey had a natural way with people. I knew that for the next hour and a bit - it was all going to be about me. Me. Me. Me. Me. (A little "Me" should be prescribed regularly. High dosages are encouraged by loved ones) She led me into the esthetician room and gave me some brief instructions, before letting me crawl into the warmed soft blankets of her "magic" table. The rest of the experience........was.....well.....amazing. It was far more than just a slew of face products. It was indulgence. Pure heavenly indulgence. A big ole bucket of "Me-ness" Corey is a facial master. She knows how to plump skin, make it glow, and puts nothing but natural products on it. Instead of using hyper-complicated and somewhat skin risky procedures like micro-debrasian and the like - she nurtures the skin and believes in lavishing it with attention. She massages it with moisture (a great special line)- lots and LOTS of MOISTURE; rather than stripping it away from the skin. After my amazing skin pampering experience, I felt incredible. My shoulders were loose and you could practically see yourself in my skin - it was so radiant. I waited in the main lobby area, while Corey helped me call a cab, and even recommended a great acupuncturist. (Quick and INDULGENT tangent - Acupuncture is a great way to break-down the toxins which build up in your system. These icky toxins are often a contributing factor of break-outs and skin ailments. Cleansing your body from the outside AND inside is definitely something to look into, if you've been having skin problems.) I hurried out to the waiting cab. The moment I stepped inside, the driver spun around quickly, unprompted, and exclaimed with wide eyes: "Wow - your skin.....it looks awesome!." It felt like a cheesy commercial, and I could hear annoying ad jingles in my head, -but I couldn't resist saying "Nope.... Corey's awesome." read more

Felt a little pressure about gratuity. But, best massage and facial I've had.

This is a review for Tuesday Cohen who is an outstanding aesthetician. I just got home after a custom facial treatment and my skin looks rested and plump, as if I just came back from a two-week vacation. Every step of the experience was perfect. I loved the hot and cold stone massages, the texture and the scent of the products. The extractions were painless. The massage at the end (shoulders, neck and head) was out-of-this world. I forgot I was in the room. This was my best treatment to date and I look forward to reallocating my self-care budget to make it a regular thing. Thank you Tuesday! read more

I came across in-symmetry through the massagenow app. Upon entering, the lobby decoration consisted of pictures of Buddha and plenty of plants to create a zen atmosphere. I checked in and filled out a questionnaire regarding areas or goals for my facial session. I was greeted by Tuesday, my esthetician, and was advised to undress leaving only my under garments. As an facial connoisseur, I was comfortable enough to go topless as it is more convenient for the shoulder and upper back massage. Tuesday checked in with me with whether if I wanted her to tell me her process and product applications or if I wanted to doze off. With my customized facial, she decided to do a enzyme facial with extractions followed by a kelp and green tea mask while I relaxed to some French jazz. I sat on remnants of what I believe to be coffee spills while I waited in the lobby earlier. Tuesday was extremely helpful and offered to apply some Shout stain remover to my white pants. Now that's excellent customer service! I saw my parents that same weekend and they were complimenting me on how great my skin looks. My skin has been glowing, less prominent dark circles, smaller pores, and plump skin. I look like I am more so in high school again irregardless of my asian genes. Very satisfied with Tuesday's work. read more

In-Symmetry - Cute lobby - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

UPDATE 12/1/13: Candace promptly followed up with me after the original review was written to find out what went wrong with the massage and to offer a complimentary massage to make up for it. Thanks to her service recovery, I received a great massage from Torrey this afternoon. Prior to my appointment, Candace gave a few suggestions on therapists to try: Holly, John, and Torrey. Holly was her top recommendation, but for those of you without flexible work schedules, she only works on weekdays. Either way, though, I appreciated the quick follow-up and Candace's determination to find the right therapist for me. I will be returning to In-Symmetry after all. *Bumps review rating up to 4 stars* ORIGINAL REVIEW: Yikes! What on earth happened? This used to be my favorite place to get massages when I first moved the city two years ago. Deep-tissue massages with hot stones for a ridiculously good price? Yes please! Sadly, over time, prices have gone up, while the quality of the massages have gone down. In fact, I got one of the top three worst massages of my life at In-Symmetry yesterday. I told my masseuse about the tightness in my upper back between my shoulder blades and to focus on that area and that I prefer firm pressure massages. So you know what I got? A massage that focuses on the shoulders/ neck area with what feels like deep pressure in those areas, and light pressure everywhere else. And it was like my masseuse was *trying* to avoid the area between my shoulder blades, where I told her I needed the most work. I also felt like the hot stones were used haphazardly. It was so unlike any other massage I've gotten at In-Symmetry. When the front desk manager asked me how I felt, I couldn't say disappointed. So instead, I told him, I was ready for a nap. Which I desperately needed, because I came in as a ball of stress, and I left as an annoyed ball of stress. At least a nap would get me to stop thinking about how annoyed I was. Looks like I'm on the search for a new place to get actual deep-tissue massages. Bleh. read more

I'm not a big membership person, but I love having an In-Symmetry membership. For me, it's not a big number monthly and then when I want to take care of someone in my life, it's very easy. I just gave my husband a massage with Meredith and he raved. (He is not a raving guy, normally. He'd done a big project at my Studio as a favor and it felt so great to be able to say thank-you without a big showy gesture.) I've given staffers massages as rewards for extra effort and I frequently set up facials for my son. Plus it's nice for me too...naturally. read more

Marta Torres-McKay was absolutely amazing. She is very professional and proficient at her craft. She is super intuitive and was able to pin point my problem areas without me even having to say anything. She offered very insightful information on what is going on with my skin currently and the steps I can take to maintain healthier skin. I was so appreciative of all of that! Not to mention she is SO warm and SO comforting, it was THE best experience!!!! Not to mention the massages were EVERYTHING!! She went above and beyond, truly. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. I will DEFINITELY see her again without a doubt and I actually really look forward to it :) amazing taste in music as well! That was a sweet touch :) I can go on and on , but I think you catch my drift :) Please go see Marta for a facial!! You will leave so happy and wanting more! read more

Amanda F is by far one of the BEST massage therapists I have ever had. She truly understands how to work your muscles- amount of pressure to apply, how to work out tough knots, tackling complementary muscle groups for maximum impact, etc. In summary, she "gets it" and is extremely effective. You will feel like a new human after you see her! read more

I came here yesterday for a hot stone massage with Michelle. It was my first hot stone experience. Michelle (works only Wednesdays) was very gentle and effective about stretching me. She had an excellent attitude and was professional. I never felt akward. I was surprised how hot the stones were and I was also surprised that the stones were not used that often, on top of my back with a cloth separating it from my skin and under my shoulders and rubbed on my back and neck. It was definitely a very nice addition to the deep tissue massage, it felt like there were two people massaging me. : ) The rocks were like extra pairs of warm hands. In-Symmetry was very clean and it had a very calming atomsphere. Everyone was very friendly and nice. We got large glasses of water as soon as we got there. It was hard to find (location is not the most convenient) but so are treasures. read more

This review is for Tuesday - she has given me the most incredible facials over the past several years! I usually get the 60-minute customized facial and it's truly the most relaxing and rejuvenating hour. Tuesday is so talented and knowledge about all things skincare, and her products are organic, natural, and gentle on the skin. She makes great suggestions based on your skin needs/texture etc. and I've always left with baby soft and glowing skin. She's also generally just so pleasant to be around and will make your day a whole lot better! read more

Came here for a relaxing massage and that was exactly what I got. First time getting stoned and it felt amazing! I had Aurora and she was very accommodating to my needs. Made sure I was comfortable and she knew what she was doing! read more

In-Symmetry - Cute "I got stoned" rock at the waiting area. - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming In-Symmetry for about a year now and have made the big step to purchase a membership! (might as well since I was coming once a month). I'm all about the Sports/Therapeutic/Deep Tissue massages. Having a pretty active lifestyle and working a desk job can certainly do a number on your body if you're not keeping track. The massage therapists are great! They actively listen to how I'm feeling and will help me triage when I'm not sure why I feel in a funk. The organic facials are also wonderful and such a treat! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing customer service and massage therapist who catered to my needs. It was also unlike any experience I've had. The massage therapist took time to ask me where my problem areas are and even did a different technique than what I've experienced before. Yet the results were just as amazing. I will be returning to this establishment! read more

I love this place and have had the best massages there ever! It is so fantastic to be able to get a massage from a pro after a hard days work or a hard workout at the gym. The price for an amazing one hour massage is really reasonable. The staff is super friendly and helpful, I can't say enough good things about this spa! read more

Just had one of the best hours of my year. Brad is the man. Felt so taken care of and found the facility to be clean and aesthetically pleasing. read more

Finally a great place to get a massage in the mission neighborhood. Got a gift card for my birthday 60 minutes massage. It was very easy to book - plenty of open slots to choose from. They called and emailed me the day of letting me know my masseuse is out sick but they have someone else for me if I could accommodate a 30 minutes change in timing. When I got there it was very peaceful with water and many tea options. My masseuse Catherine picked me up shortly after my appointment time. I got a 60 minutes massage with her that was really great. Good pressure - not timid putting pressure on a pregnant mama and her hands knew exactly were I needed the work done. Only cons would be pricing - 60 minutes massage is 115$ which I guess is standard in SF ( gets cheaper with membership) and no showers. read more
