Today I decided to treat myself. I felt wonderful after My massage by Tatiana!! She was fabulous. She used great techniques to work out the sore spots and provided helpful tips to help prevent future pains and tensions in my body. She was very professional and respectful of my requests! I will definitely be back. This was a fantastic way to start of my week and birthday!!! Thanks Tatiana!! read more

What a great place so close to home. Our massages were amazing. The girls did a great job. My only complaint would be the people talking next door. Towards the end of our massage they were a little loud. Other than that everyone was super friendly and the accommodations were excellent! Will definitely be back. read more

My best friend and I tried this location for massage and we had a fantastic time and will return!! The ambiance is behind the lobby is relaxing yet indulgent! They have a unique decor that has all the best of everything. A mix of natural zen, to fun and luxurious. Something you must experience! My massage practitioner was Kevin. I know massage. That was definitely one of the best massages that I ever had. I prefer medium pressure which he delivered and I can tell he can provide a deep tissue pressure easily. Strong, professional with a down to earth and easy sense of humor. I was very comfortable relaxing and talking. Great break from my stress and I left feeling a million times better than before I came in!!! Thanks Kevin & staff we had the best time! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Wonderful experience, I loved the ambiance and the service was perfect, I came to get a couples massage with my boyfriend and we loved it, champagne and chocolates, how wonderful the best part was the massage,very detailed work. Defenitely coming back to this spa, thank you. read more

Intermission Spa and Salon - Romantic Couples Massage - Massage Near Me - Upland, California

I would give it zero stars if I could. Waited 30 minutes after my massage appointment to actually get my massage . Massage was mediocre . The lady who massaged me was really rough at times and kept doing some weird moves that were not relaxing at all . We had the couples massage done and the lady massaging my bf kept talking loud and it was very annoying . Definitely don't come here for a massage go somewhere else that will be worth your money . read more

Just left this place and the reviews people leave do not match the service. I feel like people who leave bad reviews have nothing better to do because my girlfriend and I just left and this place was GREAT! We had Michael and Yolanda and they did amazing. Great service from employees AND therapists. Good champagne, chocolates, and massages! Greeted and offered more champagne every time they came in.... overall, it was a really great experience and we knew that it was going to be really busy but we still got taken care of. Our massage started late but of course they still took care of us for the 2 hours that were promised. Great experience. Thank you to Michael and Yolanda!! read more

Came here yesterday with my girlfriend and had the best experience ever ! The setting was calming and beautiful and our massages were so good ! read more

My husband and I wanted a day to relax and he purchased a couple massage. We were staying in the area this weekend and the spa came highly recommended. The ambience was beautiful everywhere around us we were so relaxed they greeted us with champagne and chocolate that was a big plus for me boy did I need both masseuses where amazing my back no longer hurts my neck and shoulders I am so relaxed thank you so much we will be coming back again hopefully soon and will be recommending you to our family and friends in this area thank you again Mario and Joann read more

Awesome!! I purchased their couples massage deal for a christmas present for my husband and we were extremely satisfied! We left super relaxed, feeling great and both slept like babies when we got home! I woke up so energized as well! We were seen right away and given such a hefty glass of champagne (which was a great way to start!) I had Paul and my husband had Natalie, both very professional and very experienced! Would definitely go back again and recommend to all family and friends!!! read more

Okay so my husband got a couples massage for us through Groupon, to enjoy for my birthday. It was supposed to come with chocolates and champagne and sounded like a perfect start to a relaxing weekend. We had a hard time finding the place but eventually located it right at our massage time. Noone told us to get there early so we figured it was fine. Outside was a round table and a bench with balloons and some stale mini cupcakes, half eaten hard chocolates and cheap Ande's Champagne which was open and sitting in a bucket of melted ice water. My husband and I just looked at eachother perplexed... was this someone else's and they hadn't set up ours yet? Then we saw a note on the door to have a seat and partake in the goodies while we wait. I sat down and picked up a cupcake but it was hard. My husband whispered how cheesy it was and just then Kevin came to the door. He asked if we had champagne and we said no... so he poured us some in a plastic cups. Some tinfoil fell in my husbands. We followed Kevin inside and there were the massage tables. The place is a single room with vaulted ceilings and painted a relaxing seafoam green color. The scent of lavender filled the air. Next to the massage tables was a couch covered in a blanket. We sat and filled out some paperwork while Kevin disapeared behind a curtain into the rest of the business or home (Im not really sure what it was). Then we were asked who we wanted to massage us. My husband got Natasha and I got Kevin. Then Kevin left again so my husband and I could disrobe right there in the front room. Awkward. So we got naked and covered ourselves on the tables and waited. I had downed my cheap champagne and wished I had a little more. The music was much too loud in that small room but I decided to just relax and try to zone out during my massage. It was decent, Kevin did a thorough job although I must say it was too rough. I wish he had asked me my preference on touch. I never relaxed enough to fall asleep or even stop thinking about how hard he was pushing and it got to the point where I just wanted it to be over. Once it was done, my husband handed Kevin and Natasha each a $20 bill. On the wall is a sign that states something about how you tip your bartender, and your waitress and how you should tip your masseuse. A tasteless request for gratuity, it also mentions how you should tip on the actual cost and not the sale price. Well this Groupon couples massage was $80 for an hour, marked down from $250 or something like that. Im not real sure why it's $250 when a single person massage is $60 for an hour... but I guess they charge more when they get to both make money at the same time. Stupid. Anyway when he handed the $20 to Kevin, he looked down and then kind of gave a look like he wasnt impressed. I dont know, maybe thats what I thought I saw, but I did get that impression. Then Natasha told my husband if he wanted the same deal that he could book with her directly in the future. We had forgotten our Groupon confirmation and almost had to pay again but luckily my husband found it on his phone so it could be scanned. As we left, we were both really sore. Both of us said it was too deep of a massage and it felt like we were bruised for a couple days afterward. It's our own fault for not asking them to ease up... but we're not assertive like that apparently. LOL. I suggest you just tell them, Im sure it would be much better if we had. Never the less, it was a cheesy experience that didn't really feel romantic what so ever. I can't recommend it. read more

Intermission Spa and Salon - Get here early and hope theres some champagne and chocolates left for you. - Massage Near Me - Upland, California

See all

I just got back from my massage and I'm rather disappointed. I purchased an Amazon Local coupon that entitled me to a 60 minute Swedish massage ($80) and peppermint scalp massage ($10). I thought it was a good deal, but after my experience I feel like it was a waste of my money. In actuality, I ended up with a 45 minute massage alone ($60). Upon my arrival I was surprised that I wasn't greeted in a more friendly or inviting manner. The masseuse never introduced herself or welcomed me. It started the whole thing off on an uncomfortable and awkward note. The massage itself started off well, but was ended early when the next client arrived. My massage started at 10:08am and yet I was walking out the door at 10:58. I did NOT receive my full 60 minute massage; more like a 45 minute massage. I didn't like that I was quickly shuffled out the door to make room for the new client. I was also perplexed because I was wondering about the timing and my "add on" peppermint scalp massage. When I asked about the peppermint scalp massage, I was told that my head had been massaged, just without the peppermint oil. Basically the $10 peppermint scalp massage add-on does NOT add time to your massage, just a different oil when that part of your body is massaged. Well, I got a quick massage around my neck and head and no peppermint oil, so I did not even get the peppermint scalp massage add on as described in the Amazon Local coupon. When I left I wasn't thanked for my business. Instead, I was instructed not to buy from Amazon Local deals because their business (Intermission Day Spa) doesn't really make any money off of it. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the whole experience and would NOT recommend this "spa" to anyone. I'm actually more upset than relaxed. What a waste of my time and money. read more

Very relaxing, calm atmosphere. Much different than a corporate type of spa, this had way more of a comfortable vibe. There lounge is nice, and enjoyed the champagne. I bought the 3 1 -hour massages for $119 - great deal. Very reasonable prices across the board. Everyone was very professional. Natalie is a great message therapist. I rolled solo, although I hear this place is great for couples. I will be back, many times - super glad I found this place. read more

We came here because we saw the deals on groupon. The deal that the spa had was actually better so we booked that one. We got the 2 hour couples massage with champagne and chocolates. We arrived 10 minutes prior to our appointment and were given champagne. There were some little dove chocolates and fruit in the room that they said we could serve ourselves to. The champagne was delicious. The massages weren't great. They didn't come to us until 20 minutes after our massages were supposed to start and they didn't add those 20 minutes to the end of our appointment. What should have been a 2 hour massage ended up being only an hour and 40 minutes. Why take away our massage time? We got there early. They were the late ones. The massages - we had a man and a woman (whose names we were not told). They lacked in pressure! We both had a few knots on our backs/shoulders, but neither of the masseuses really worked on relieving the pain. My masseur asked me how my back was and when I told her that I was still in pain, she just pushed on my back and shoulders really hard. She didn't rub out the knots and painful spots. We were both disappointed by the service. We were hoping they could really relieve the stress and knots since we booked 2 hour massages. We left very disappointed. My masseur told me to drink lots of water when she was finished giving me a lacking massage. When we got out of the room, we expected someone to offer us water, tea, or some kind of drink. We weren't given anything. The spa felt like a renovated house of some sort. The couples massage was upstairs and had windows that looked into the spa next door. We weren't given robes, so it felt awkward to get undressed with the possibility that people next door might be able to see us. I would not recommend this place to anyone I know. We were so disappointed. Three stars purely because the champagne was good and the deal seemed like a good one. read more

They are ridiculous! How do you post something ONLINE make customers commit and then not stand by to your price !!!!! I understand mistakes happen but how is that the consumers fault. I COULD HAVE BOOKED SOMETHING ELSE. But instead I went with what they called "great rate" you had online, to top it off the guy that put me in HOLD, wasn't even humble he argued and bitched about the situation while I was on hold listening to the whole conversation. ***don't go if this is how they treat new customers think about how you will be treates**** read more

This place is unprofessional and has unlicensed massage therapists. I was injured by an employee and they threatened me over the phone when I called to tell them I could no longer walk. I had to miss work and get my leg an MRI and go to several doctors appointments. Overall the experience cost me roughly 1000$ and the owner will not take any responsibility for what they have done to me. Do not go here its cheap and sleezy. read more

My husband and I both enjoyed our couples massage with Kevin and Natasha. We bought a deal on GROUPON, but found out later if you call them directly they will give you an awesome deal over the phone, so you dont have to wait for discount apps...just call. Initially I had reservations reading some of the reviews, but so very glad I decided to see for myself. Location is a nice business complex, business on either side and across the street so I am not sure why others are thinking their location is odd. We were early but Kevin came out and had us fill out questionaires, what you like dont like etc. Immediately walking in the doors are the massage beds, a couch to the right. We were offered champagne and chocolates, which I accepted, lol. Natasha worked on my body for a full entire hour. She is MAGIC. I read complaints that she wasnt friendly or didnt speak much, who cares!!! LOL! I didnt ask, but Natasha and Kevin seem to be from another country, and quite frankly not making bs small-talk and getting right down to business is refreshing. Very thorough back legs feet neck shoulders...on and on...I LOVED her skills. Another reviewer complained she sat on the bed at one point...well yeah...hello. She uses her body weight to hold your leg at one point applying pressure glides therefore blocking your leg from flopping off sideways...she isnt taking a break people, lol!!! My husband got Kevin for deep tissue and said he was fantastic. For the amount of time we both recieved, reasonable cost, and skill level, my husband and I both rate them a 5 star business couple. We love that there are many things to do close by so we can get a great massage and then shop Victoria Gardens or eat ate Joe's Crab Shack :) NO this is NOT a full service nail hair wax etc salon, this is a nothing but SKILLED PRO Massage...I like it. Thanks guys! read more

Worst experience I've ever had with a massage. I am leaving more stressed then when I came in. The male (older might be an owner with reddish hair) who worked on me wouldn't work on my knots, didn't use enough oils so he burned my skin and didn't massage anything I asked him to. Gave me an excuse that it's all he can do. Why fill out a form of what you want done if it's just a suggestion form and they refuse to do what you ask of them. For $160 it isn't worth this place. Expensive and very unpleasant. Also power kept going out and for at least 30 for the 90 mins it was spent him trying to fix an air conditioner or the loud unpleasant music. read more

Bought a groupon for a couples massage and I wasn't disappointed. Britney and Keisha were experts with out massages. This was my boyfriends first massage, he was feeling uncomfortable, but these two ladies put his mind at ease. I'm making an executive decision to return at least once every two months. read more

i spent my 21st birthday at intermission spa and it was the greatest experience for us! i've never had a massage or facial, and they spoiled our group of 7 and took care of us all right away! we all had a great time, and i will definitely be coming back when we come to Upland! read more

My friend booked the couples massage for the two of us on Groupon. Both of us are female, and it was a fun girl time thing to do! We had trouble locating the spa, since it is in a business suite on the bottom level of an apartment complex. We went in the front reception area in the apartment complex, then to the side entrance which is a dermatologist's office, and then finally we called and were directed to the right place, which is hidden on the other side. We asked if many people have trouble finding it, and she said yes, nearly everyone. She explained that they have had some trouble with people taking their signs and something else that explained the difficulty. Due to the trouble finding the place, we arrived right at the time of our appointment, instead of early like we were planning. We also had to use the restroom at that point, so we were led around to the apartment complex pool restroom. I really wish they had their own restroom, but it didn't bug us too much, especially since it didn't take away from our massage time at all. If you are expecting a large fully-staffed spa, you will be (maybe unpleasantly?) surprised. The spa is a single room with 2 massage tables and a couch right off of the front door with no reception area. I was surprised at first, but I actually ended up liking the cozy and personal feel. It seems to be owned and operated by the two masseuses, and I like to support independent business owners. Both Natasha and Kevin were nice and engaged appropriately in casual conversation with us before we began the massages. We filled out intake forms, which allowed us to mark any areas where we feel pain or tension, and any areas that we would like to keep "off limits". Others have mentioned that the champagne and chocolates were "cheap" or "cheesy", but we liked it! My friend is pregnant, and she was immediately offered chilled sparkling cider instead. Kevin brought out a chilled bottle of peach moscato champagne for me, and left it on the table, allowing me to basically have as much as I wanted, even though I only had a glass. The chocolates were a tasty touch too, and we thought they were good! We thought it was a nice touch, especially because the overall price of the hour-long couples massage is reasonable, and the champagne and chocolates are simply a nice, fun touch! We were asked to disrobe and get on the tables while Natasha and Kevin exited the room behind a curtain in the back. My pregnant friend had a great prenatal massage from Natasha, and Kevin did my massage. I have only had a handful of professional massages, but I have to say, my massage was fantastic! I appreciated the firmer touch, even though he had soft skin on his hands. I loved the incorporated stretches, and he really worked out some tension and knots in my back. He was attentive to every little detail in his strokes, and they both seemed very knowledgable. We got our full time allotment, and didn't feel rushed at all. They were very professional and attentive. They do have a sign posted about tipping, but so did the last massage place we visited. The first thing it says is something like," tipping is appreciated, but never mandatory". I didn't mind the sign. They also mentioned to us not to purchase from groupon again if we book again in the future, and just to book with them directly. They have already emailed my friend deals for this month and we will definitely book again directly through them in the future, although I am happy we found the groupon deal or we would have never found them. Overall, it is not the typical spa experience. It is different. For some who might not be expecting it, it might seem sketchy at first, but in our experience, it wasn't at all. We loved the cozy, personal, intimate ambience. For us, it was the perfect girl time spa day. read more

Such a great atmosphere and the people were awesome! Natasha was so nice and made our group feel so comfortable. Absolutely recommend for couples, friends, etc. I know I will be coming back! read more

Great! Loved it. Kinda small but they have everything!!! Plus it feels intimate and cozy. Everyone was extremely nice, accommodating and very professional. I can't wait to go back!!! They always have specials and packages and you can't beat their prices. I spent 5 hours there and really felt like I got away from the world for the day, which I desperately needed. I never felt rushed and I would have stayed longer if I could have. They have personal saunas, which were really nice and made me feel like I could close my eyes and really relax. The salon next door (part of the package I bought) was wonderful as well. They have a shower stocked with soaps and shampoos so you don't feel gross after your massage, sauna, etc... Plus the little desserts, chocolates, champagne, hot tea, etc... really topped it all off and made me feel extra pampered and added to the whole experience. For a place that doesn't break the bank but still provides an entire spa day, you can't beat this place!!! I seriously can't wait to go back... and hopefully take my friends and do one of their spa day party packages. read more

My boyfriend and I had a Groupon gift from his sister based on a recommendation she got from her son. We had the 60 minute couples massage. The champagne was great and the chocolates were one of my favorites, Lindt. We had the full hour for the massage which is rare in many massages and spas. It will be worth my 30 minute commute to do this several times a year. I would recommend Intermission Spa. We were at the newer place on Benson in Upland. read more

I got a nice Swedish massage here, although at times I felt masseuse's nails digging into skin on my arms. There was also a bit too much pressure for tips, even though the masseuse was the owner. I ended up paying $50 for what was advertised as a $30 special. For that reason, I would not return. read more

The best massage ever!! I look forward to coming back I'm confused on the low stars because this was a very good experience!! Thank you for all!! read more

Unique and quirky setting with a very nice couples room for our massage. My guy was Russian, Paul I think, and I knew from the get go he had a very intuitive style. It was great and we will return! read more

This place gave me the creeps! As soon as you walk in the massaging area is right there. No reception or changing area (probably no restrooms either). I would have been able to over look my surroundings if the massage would have at least been good. I've been to several spa's throughout the years but at this location it seemed like they were inexperienced or maybe they were tired "who knows". read more

This place was great! Recommending this to anyone who needs to relax! Our usual massage place wouldn't take us past 6pm so we called this place and they took us at 7! Wine and chocolate mixed with a hot stone massage is a magical combination! We found our new regular place! Staff was so friendly and location was very clean with a soothing atmosphere. They do it all! read more

Hands down the best massage i've ever had! Every visit to Intermission Spa leaves me feeling more relaxed than when I walked in. The over atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. I can't wait for the owners to expand their business so I could come in more often! read more

The best deal in town!!! I took my brother there today for his birthday for a 2 hr massage, and I have to tell you I am sure that I have had at least 100 massages, and this experience was right up there in the top 10, I had Palo and he had Evonne and we were treated like royality and left feeling like it was a excellent experience, you should all book a massage there, they have really setup the place for a great experience, and have brought in the best massage therapists! You won't be sorry, you will be relaxed, maybe even fall asleep it is so relaxing, I for one will be going back as often as I can! read more

I was a little surprised that we didn't have a great experience with all the good reviews. My husband and I went in for a couples massage. We had a lot of mixed feelings about this place. The facilities are nice but cluttered. Staff was friendly but they ran 15 mins late and I felt a bit uncomfortable too. Not sure why. The massage itself was what I based the majority of my review on. The massage was choppy and felt rushed. I felt like the message therapist was inexperienced or didn't have enough training. My husbands felt the same way about his massage too. read more

I was very disappointed in my couples massage. Just like another reviewer said, it was total bs. Champagne was cheap (no biggy) but what really bothered me was my massage therapist. She talked the whole time and had no idea what she was doing. I was so uncomfortable. She even touched my butt crack. She made my hand touch her inappropriately a few times. She wore flip flops and had long fake nails that kept scratching me. I got so fed up, I had to ask her to stop the hot stone therapy because she kept dropping them. Plus, the foot scrub felt terrible. It was so rough, I honestly thought I was going to be bleeding when I looked down. Don't waste your money. Skip the groupon and spend your money elsewhere. read more

You know what they say about those small hole-in-the-wall places. Well this one is it! Tiny location across from Active Sport in a small shopping center. You literally walk in to the massage room so it made me a little skeptical but the massage itself was phenomenal. I had Kevin and asked for a light pressure because I am a total wheenie when it comes to pain. Well he somehow used strong pressure without giving me any type of pain at all! He said it was because he warmed me up beforehand. That must have been it because I have felt great ever since. He really knew what he was doing. The only negative is that it is a bit of a drive from my home which can be an inconvenience. Otherwise I think I would go here twice a month. read more

If I could give zero stars I would.... To start off they moved locations a week prior to us coming... Didn't bother to tell us or make it clear that they moved. Not sure why they wouldn't say anything to us when we made the appointment weeks earlier. Arrived at this address and called to see exactly where they were and after the phone ringing about 10 times someone finally answered then said they sent a text with the new address hours ago which was not true.. Good thing we left super early so we were still able to make it which was good but arrived annoyed since they also didn't mention that they were in a building that didn't even say their name on it.. We just assumed it was it then walked in and it was it.. Place was super small.. Not much of a waiting area.. Room massage was in was pretty bright so it didn't have the best ambiance but it wasn't a romantic massage anyway so whatever but the other weird thing was the table had like paper on it not really sheets so that was weird. Greeting was weird by the massage therapist.. Well we didn't know she was our therapist at the time.. She told us to fill out paper work and get changed.. One girl entered the room.. and just started working on one of us... The other entered and did the same.. Neither massage therapist introduced themselves which I thought was weird.. Neither also really went through the paperwork at all.. Pretty sure they didn't even look at the paper.. Massages were ok.. For one of us she didn't even work on the areas my mom requested even during the massage.. Wasn't the worst massage but it could have been better. At the end of the massage both ended pretty weird.. One said the massage was over but the other just stood over me looking at me and didn't say anything.. Awkward. So they tell us to change.. While we were changing they entered the room.. RUDE.. Wait till your people are done then talk to them outside.. One girl asked for the groupon then proceeded to talk about how they don't get their money right away from groupon and they would match the price if we saw the groupon and blah blah blah.. Then says that it's expired and we owed $20 each person... Gave them that because we assumed that it was true.. Then we tipped them really well and left. Pretty sure that we didn't owe crap for the massages she probably just thought we weren't going to tip them.. Our own fault for believing that so whatever but thats going to come back to then in a bad way one of these days. Next day we get an e mail with the packages and pricing they had to offer.. One of which was the groupon we had.. Which pissed me off even more.. So conclusion.. These people are a rip off and so freaking rude and unprofessional.. We will never come back and will make sure none of our friends and family ever go to this place. Unprofessional and rude!!!! read more

I had my facial done by Sandy who did an absolutely wonderful job and the massage by Natasha who is awesome! The ambiance at Intermission Spa at La Bella is beautiful and I really enjoyed myself. Most definitely will recommend to my friends. Thank you for taking care of me! read more

My husband and I had a 60 minute couples massage. Thankfully the paperwork was short but understandably necessary.In addition they had wine and chocolates that were apart of the couples package experience.Kevin and Natasha were both very throrough and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole thing. After we were so relaxed. We definitely see why they come so highly recommended. We will definitely come back again. read more

First off to bat, I created a YELP account specifically to write a review for this spa. All I'm going to say is, I LOVED this place! Natalia and Kevin were so experienced and catering to your needs. Their techniques were so new to what I'm used to and got the job done! I've just come home from there and my body couldn't feel more relaxed. Their champagne was delicious and the music was perfect as well. I will say, I did feel awkward having my booty area massaged but I didn't mark it on the paperwork and they were very professional so my fault! . Also, that Indian place nearby with bottomless champagne brunch is a nice way to finish it off! We will be back! read more
