    We came here on a weekend day in the afternoon and were able to be seen right away without calling…read moreahead. However, during our appointment, we heard people calling in to make appointments, so it's probably recommended. I think this place is a hit or miss. I had an amazing massage by Lucy, who seems like she just knows knots when she touches them and is able to work on you pretty well. My partner, however, had someone who he had to ask to put more pressure, and in response, the therapist said "you might need a male therapist if you need more pressure." This is unfortunate, but I think it really is the luck of the draw. We found the most off putting thing about this place is that they charge a 10% surcharge to pay with card. For example, an hourlong massage is $50 in cash, but $55 when paid on a credit card. I do not share the opinion of most of the low-rated reviews where they ask you for tips. Our therapists did not do so, and also, it is completely reasonable to tip more than normal since the massage prices are lower here, especially if you receive a great massage. However, the marked differences between the cash and credit card prices was a turnoff to us, especially since it is random whether you get a skilled therapist or not.

    The lady asked to tip more. Not very business like! In addition, the service was very lacking, felt…read morelike the masseuse just lathered oil on me gave a wipe down.

This spot is super duper clean, an OCD person's dream! The gal at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming. I ending up reaching out to them via yelp at 4pm and got an appointment to go in at 6pm that same day. Prices are reasonable ($85 for 1 hour, not including tip). Will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

She really focused on the area and was able to release a lot of the tension. Right now, my back feels much looser and more relaxed. We'll see how it feels tomorrow, but so far I'm very impressed! The facility is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. The staff were all very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I was also pleasantly surprised that I was able to get in right away without an appointment. The hot stones were a great touch and made the experience even more relaxing. Next time, I'll definitely book the 75-minute massage because I was just getting completely comfortable when the 60 minutes flew by! I only wish I had gotten the name of the therapist who worked on me because I would absolutely request her again. Thank you for the great experience--I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

    I had a Myofascial Release/CBD massage. This was my first professional massage as an adult (outside…read moreof the occasional PT massages). The experience was wonderful from start to finish. Lupe provided clear instructions on how to find the suite, as well as a heads up about parking on Saturdays when there is a nearby farmers market. It made arriving seamless. The suite itself is very relaxing. I was soon brought back to the massage room. We discussed my problem areas (neck, shoulders, upper back, and jaw). She definitely made sure to target those areas. The massage was everything I needed and more. I had never had a Myofascial massage before, so I wasn't sure what to expect other than what I had read online. It involved long strokes, stretching of muscles (and holding some of those stretches for 5 minutes), cupping, and digging into some really tense areas. The CBD was a great addition to add some extra relaxation. 70 minutes was a good amount of time to get to all target areas. I will absolutely be back and hope my husband will agree to getting one as well!

It's located on the second floor of the building which is also elevator accessible. I was greeted right away, very friendly I was offered water or tea. My maternity massage was about an hour. I got down to my undergarments and I was wrapped in a warm blanket on the table. She asked me what my concerns or pains were before starting. My masseuse was super gentle. It was my first maternity massage but it was very gentle son don't expect getting pretzeled and pulverized. It was so relaxing I even fell asleep. Will definitely come back. A much needed massage for those maternity pains and a time and a good time for a nap and distressing.

    I came her for the first time with my friend. We both booked 60 minute Swedish massage. We were…read moretold to pay for our services before the service was done. I thought that was odd but we paid for it. We were sent to a room with my friend and I together. When it was time for our massage, my friend received a Swedish massage and my masseuse was standing on top of me. The whole time they were talking during our service. I was confused why my lady wasn't doing a Swedish massage but I let it go. I wasn't in the mood to say something. They were giggling and whispering loud throughout the session. When we're done it was time for us to leave and we gave them cash tip. The lady who I tipped raised her voice on me and demanded more. I told her that's all I had. She gave me the worst attitude and stormed off. Please do yourself a favor, there are better and professional places than this. To me it felt like they don't care about the service they provide for their clients but focused on the money. It seems like a lot of people experienced bad service here. Also the lady who stood on me for my massage was a big back so I had difficulty breathing at some parts of the massage. And she was the one who kept talking and laughing during my service and had the audacity to pop off on me for not giving her more tip. Ridiculous.

    I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience here. I booked a 60-minute couples massage, and…read morewhile my husband had a great experience with his masseuse, mine was the complete opposite. The person who worked on me didn't seem to know what she was doing at all. There was no real technique or flow, just random elbow pressure on my back the entire time. I even asked for more pressure, hoping it would improve, but she just kept using her elbows in a way that felt uncomfortable and unskilled. On top of that, she kept stopping throughout the session, which made the whole experience feel disjointed and unprofessional. What made it worse is that she didn't even massage my hands, arms, or feet, which I would expect from a full 60-minute massage. And to be clear, I didn't even get the full time. We started around 6:52 PM, and she left around 7:35-7:40 PM. That's not 60 minutes. Another thing that really bothered me was how the oil was removed. She used a dry tissue or paper towel to wipe my back, which felt rough and uncomfortable. Meanwhile, my husband's masseuse used a proper warm/wet towel on him. I don't understand why the service was so inconsistent between the two of us. I left feeling worse than when I came in. My back actually felt strained, like a nerve was irritated from the random elbow pressure. I was visibly upset and honestly didn't feel like tipping, but still left $5 out of courtesy. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for something that's supposed to be relaxing. I wouldn't return based on this visit.

    I have been visiting Health Day Spa usually once a week for about five years…read more My go to person lately is Susan. She provides exactly the massage I request. Swedish massage, medium, not too hard. Most massage spas offer soft, medium, or hard pressures. I prefer soft to medium. That's exactly what I ask with Susan and that is what I receive. If you want a hard deep tissue massage, I'd recommend Carmen. She's very experienced and knows exactly where your pain or discomfort is, and believe me, she will definitely get your pain out. Depending on your pain, depends on how much pressure Carmen will put on you. Two different times, Jenny (the owner) performed Thai massages on me. She does not offer that massage. She only performed Thai massage because I have been going there for years. Omg, that was so painful. However, when I walked out, my body was like jello. At that time, I didn't live far away. I was able to drive home and fell right to sleep, waking up totally refreshed. Today, Susan worked on me. I always get a 90 minute massage, which costs $98, plus I give 25 to $30 tip. That's just me. My tip is giving extra thanks. Today, though, I caught myself snoring twice. I love Health Day Spa. It's dark, always quiet unless a guest is talking loud. There's soft relaxing music playing. As I have mentioned before, everyone that works there does not speak English well. I suggest you speak slowly and clearly, or use your Google translator, as I do. Jenny, Bill, and maybe a couple other employees will understand English. I have also mentioned, if you want a happy ending, go somewhere else. Health Day Spa is 100% legit, with trained massage therapists.

It's a chill place. I did the 60 min foot reflexology and acupressure for $55. The acupressure consist of shoulder massage and arm massage. Foot includes thigh to foot. It was great!! It hurt so good. Lol. My feet felt happy and refresh. The guy that did my massage did an amazing job. He didn't introduce himself so I didn't get his name. Barely talk and just did what he needed to do. I might try the body next time, need some more work on my shoulder.
