I've been going to Mood Up Wellness for about 2+ years and my experiences have mostly been great because it's all about finding the right therapist that truly fits your needs. Since I work out quite a bit, my muscles are often sore, whether it's my legs, IT Band, back, neck or biceps and/or triceps. Even though I could tell so many therapists where I needed massaging, I found the much needed care from Cindy. She is thorough in her approach. My IT band had been the reason for possibly sciatica and other back issues. After a few sessions with Cindy, I see her regularly every two weeks and it's paid off. She spends a good 7-10 minutes (I think?) on my IT band for each leg. She's great about sensing when to put more or less pressure on tight muscles or knots depending on whether I tense up or show reaction.. I've had many sports massages from other hotel and "brand name" businesses in the bay area at half or double the price. Mood Up Wellness is reasonably priced especially for package deals. Cindy truly gives one of the best full body deep tissue massages that I've ever had. read more

Great massages for reasonable prices. Getting packaged deals are also cheaper. The therapists are highly skilled and strong. Massages include oil, hot stone, and hot towels to remove oil. Total body massage includes, back, shoulders, neck, legs, head, face, and feet. You can request to skip face and head. You can request deep tissue, medium or light depending on the type of massage work you need. They also have feet only massage and acupuncture. read more

I went on a Groupon deal. The reason for one star. I had on my underwear and the massage therapist pulled them down and applied oil and massaged my "cheeks." Totally unprofessional and shocking. I've had dozens of massages with different massage therapists. Never has this happened before. Buyer beware. read more

We purchased the "90-Minute Couples Combo Massage (body + foot) with sea salt soak, sea salt bag, hot towel, and hot stone for two" for $234. We did not receive the sea salt soak or the sea salt bag--two major parts of what we paid for. From the start, there was zero hospitality. No one introduced themselves, asked for our names, or explained what to expect during the service. The door to our room was left partially open during the massage, which was extremely uncomfortable and showed a total disregard for privacy. I requested medium pressure, but my massage was so rough that I was sore the next day. At the end, they aggressively pushed for a tip--so much so that they asked if I "understood how tipping works." When I didn't tip more, the massage therapist walked out and slammed the door, which was unprofessional and disrespectful. For $234, this experience was nowhere near worth the price. No courtesy, no communication, services not performed as advertised, and pressure for tipping that bordered on harassment. Save your money and your time. Run from this place and read the other reviews on Yelp and Google--you'll see a pattern. read more

This is my second time coming to get a massage here at Mood Up. It has been the most peaceful experience every time! I found this place back in April on Groupon. I wanted to treat me and my husband to a couples massage. It was so relaxing that when it came time for me to get another massage i did not hesitate on calling for an appointment. Angel provided me with the most heavenly massage. I drove from San Jose and will be doing so again next time. Everyone you come into contact with here are so kind. Very sweet ladies at the front desk. Thank you for suggesting lavender oil over the very strong tea tree read more

Service: 90 Min Massage with Hot Stone & Essential Oil (Current promo for $219 for 2!) Cleanliness: 5/5 Requested Pressure for this service: Medium Massage therapist: Sally This is a top 2 massage I've ever had in my life! I would say that I love to splurge in massages because my body needs it. With always trying to correct my bad posture from working on a laptop for years, to not being persistent in my daily stretch yoga, I feel like saving and investing in a massage is needed for me. Sally did soft feedback requests throughout the massages to understand if the pressure was right for me, if I was comfortable with the temp, etc.. This really gave perspective in level of awareness and comfort for me as a client. How would I describe the experience? 10/10! Sally was able to identify my stress areas and use skillful techniques to kneed into them. The hot stone that came with the promo felt really nice as the heat lifted some tension off the worked areas. I highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a skilled massage that is reasonably priced too. read more

We were so disappointed with our massage experience. Had a couples massage on 06/29 at 2:45pm. First, take the time to read the most recent reviews - folks have the same experience with being bullied and pressured for additional tips. We tipped 25% on the original price of the service and they called me over, pointed to a sign and kept saying "need more - 90 minute massage". They repeated themselves about 9 times while I also reiterated that the sign says "SUGGESTED". They would not take no for an answer. This is so unacceptable and degrading for customers. The massage itself was confusing - the music would start playing and turn off immediately after 3 seconds; this went on for a full 90 minutes, so it was extremely hard to settle into feeling relaxed when the only sound you hear for 90 minutes is the sound of them talking back and forth and music abruptly cutting off. Next is the actual massage - asked for medium pressure and instead walked out feeling bruised - the head massage consisted of her literally knocking on my head with her knuckes - yes- knocking on my skull like she was knocking on a door. I woke up today feeling WORSE than when I came in for the massage. Will never return and would not recommend to anyone. read more

I've been coming to MoodUp Wellness for about two years now, visiting quarterly, and I always ask for Sally. She's amazing -- her deep tissue massages really help with knots and muscle stiffness from my Muay Thai training and gym sessions. She's attentive, skilled, and always makes sure to focus on problem areas. Highly recommend if you're looking for real relief and a consistent, professional experience. read more

I loved my experience here! I found this place thru Groupon and got a good deal $59 for 30 minute message on my back, neck, shoulders, and head. They even used hot stones, and that was amazing. When I first came in I was greeted kindly by receptionist, she was super cool, friendly and helpful. Place is huge inside and has plenty parking. The waiting area was nice and clean. Barley even waited because they took me so fast. Ding was my masseuse, and she was absolutely amazing! She worked on every knot I had. She knew exactly my more troubled spots without me asking and she just messaged them out, it was so amazing. She had nice firmness and this was just an amazing message! Room was nice and dim to set the mind in relaxation and good calming music. They do lots of specials, and daily specials! You can get same day appointments too. I will definitely be a regular customer! read more

Great establishment for an inexpensive rejuvenating massage! Front desk is always very friendly, but there were a couple times where a vacuum was running as I was getting massaged; not ideal for when you're trying to relax. Otherwise, the massage therapists are hit or miss. read more

Please do not support this establishment. I had Linda as my masseuse and she was just fine upon my 90 min session. As I wrap up I come out to already offer to tip, the girl at the counter points at a suggested sign about SUGGESTED amounts. Given that my massage was ok and $119 I provided a $20 tip in line. More than the 15% but definitely less than the 20% for great service. As I am done the girl at the front desk says do you see the recommended amount l? Are you sure? Do you want to give her more? And then when i said no I'm fine. She asks me how the service was. I said fine and she hinted that if I did not have feedback for Linda then I should give more. At the same time Linda walks over and points at the SUGGESTED amount too and keeps speaking rapidly in Chinese. Now feeling pressured to tip more, I give them an additional $5 in cash. But now I am annoyed. Please do not let them bully you and go somewhere else if you don't want to feel pressured about a suggested tip. I will be looking for a new massage location for my future massages. They have lost my business. Far warning for ppl who are uncomfortable with demanding and bullying establishments you feel entitled they deserve the tip they have suggested on paper. Negative stars if I could. I will not be back. read more

This is my 4th time coming and second time seeing Leah. She did a great job and made sure to ask if I was doing okay during the massage. The location is also close to me so that is a major plus. (: read more

I bought this deal off of Groupon, which was for a 45 minute Swedish massage with hot stones. They have other cheaper deals too. To me, it was definitely worth it, given the price as other places are definitely more expensive and don't offer as much service. They did ask for extra for tip which was fine since they went beyond my expectations including a massage on legs and feed, head as well. Service I thought I made an appointment which I actually didn't and they let me walk-in away and get seen immediately which I really appreciated. Nancy is really great and took out a lot of my knots in my back. The hot stones were really hot too, but not burning and just right. Ambience The place is really spacious, clean with multiple massage rooms. I would come back again for a longer massage and other types of massages. They have acupuncture services too. read more

I was having back pain and didn't feel like going to the Accupuncturist that I usually go to for these sorts of things. I decided to walk in to check this place out on a Tuesday after work without any expectations and was surprised in a good way. They had a $75 special for 60 minutes hot stone massage. This place is very clean and professional. You choose what you want and answer a series of questions regarding the intensity and if there are any specific focus areas you want worked on. The staff is very courteous and mindful of your choices. My masseuse was Jessica. She had muscle-man strength and was very strong. I would highly recommend Jessica because she is the best! read more

I have had two massage experiences @ MoodUp with two different massage therapists. They each had a different style and methods of releasing tension and pain in my body. Sally was strong and attentive to my needs. My body responded well the next week! It was more loose and I had more flexibility. I saw Leah today and she was awesome. She really worked my neck and shoulders in the CBD massage. My body feels so much better and I have less pain. I would recommend this place. The staff is friendly and professional and the treatments are great. It was also easy to book an appointment online for various time slots. read more

Pretty dang good!! This is a runner up to the San Jose Massage parlor!! Prices are so reasonable, staff are friendly, place is so well kept and they really do take those dang knots outtt! Definitely one of my go to!! read more

I have been going to this place for over a year now and always had good experiences. The place is also nice and clean. But my last experience was very poor and this review is only for my last masseuse Cindy. Cindy did not do any focus areas that I mentioned at the beginning. I insisted to keep the pressure soft, but she did not understand it. As I had good experience at this place in my past visits, I took a 90 minute massage. But with my masseuse (Cindy) I was waiting for the 90 minutes to end. There are red marks on my back now and whole back is extremely sore. During the massage too I told Cindy to keep the pressure soft but she didn't understand, it felt as if someone was beating my back. If I goto this place again, I will make sure I don't ask for Cindy. read more

If I could five zero stars I would. I found them on Groupon and decided to call and ask if they would price match the deal instead of me purchasing the Groupon. Most establishments prefer this since Groupon takes a cut of the profit if purchased through them. At least, that's what a couple businesses have told me. The deal was for a 90 minutes combo couple massage for $177.39. When I called, the lady said I had the choice of a full body or a foot and body combo and I could choose once I arrived. So I booked my mom and I for 6:30 pm today. Well, when I arrived, the lady at the desk told me otherwise. She said the deal I was referring to was for a 45 min body + 45 min foot massage and that the deal that I wanted was $200. So I mentioned their deal on their website where it was a full body for $189 and she said ok we can do that deal. This definitely came off as them wanting more money to me but I brushed it off. We were supposed to get deep tissue massages and flipped halfway through. Both our ladies focused more on our back and had such light and gentle hands. It was definitely not a deep tissue massage with how light they were. They left the room at 7:30 to get warm towels which confused me since there was a warm towel machine in the room. They flipped us over a little after 7:35 I'm guessing since it took them a couple minutes to come back with the towels and wipe the oil from our backs, arms, and legs. Once flipped on our backs, the worked on our heads and the other side of our legs and arms. The whole thing ended at about 7:50, ten minutes shy of 90 minutes. I figured, whatever, it's only 10 minutes. We walked out and turned a couple corners trying to find the exit and were greeted by them at the front. We gave them our tips and that's when the whole dilemma started. They showed us a sign that was hidden behind a glass pitcher and some cups stating that the RECOMMENDED gratitude was something like $20-35 for our 90 min massage. And that's per person. I politely said sorry, that's all the cash I brought. And she insisted they had a machine and I could pay card. I reminded her that the front desk had said their registers closed at 7 and she INSISTED I PAY MORE. I was flabbergasted. Who demands someone to pay tip?! I already paid for services. Tip is an extra added bonus for a job well done. It's a generous gesture. I flipped the lid! I told her she was lucky I even gave her anything and it was free money and she should be grateful. She had the audacity to try and stop me from leaving. Who demands someone to pay them extra for a mediocre service provided?! Crazy lady! I'm definitely never coming back here. read more

I've been a consistent client for 6-7 years, I always ask for Leah or Linda but they're all amazing. You can pay $200 at Burke Williams, or $70 here for an honestly better massage. I prefer deep tissue, and as firm as possible. These women are STRONG. The spa is clean, customer service is friendly, and my appointments always start on time. read more

Always friendly and courteous here. Linda is by far my favorite masseuse--professional, attentive, and consistently amazing. She really knows how to find and fix the problem areas, and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality care and a peaceful experience! read more

I needed a massage to relieve my sciatica and decided to try out this place. The receptionist is nice and got same day appointment easily. The room was clean everything was decent. The therapist was not bad and applied My own Ben Gay to my injured muscle. Overall it was a repeatable experience until at the end when you tip them... So i thought a 23% tips was a generous one but after she received the tip, i heard snobby complaints that 'minimum' is a $20 tips, ie they expect a 30+% tips... I suspect the therapists are under paid and expect to make up the difference from the tips...so why not tell me up front $65/hr and 30% tips! kinda ruined the whole experience and not sure i want to repeat anymore... read more

I've always had a great massage with Emily! I used to go here when it was Perfect Day Spa and swore I'd never return after they filed bankruptcy and screwed over those of us with membership packages! I will continue to partake in the occasional massage, but I will never purchase a package. The reason for 2 stars is because my son and his gf recently went for a 60 min full body massage and when they tipped $20 each they were both shown a gratuity sign and were told they need to tip more! They show that they literally only had $6 left and the lady insisted that they give that to them too! The F'ing audacity! Tipping is a request not a requirement! They are also very young adults who are in college! I'm so pissed off! read more

I had discovered this place from Groupon and was pleasantly surprised at how big it was! Be sure to park in the parking lot in the back as the front door near the street is not an entrance. I opted for the deep tissue massage and my masseuse did a great job working out all the knots from my shoulders. I really liked how the rooms were actual individual and private rooms with doors. I did take a look at prices and noticed that deep tissue typically has a $15 up charge. Overall, really enjoyed my massage even though I didn't catch the name of my masseuse. I am a bit disappointed that my hips didn't get worked on at all although it may be a controversial body part due to some people being more conservative than others. I usually have a lot of hip tightness and no one ever asks about trouble areas or bothers working them at all. read more

MoodUp Wellness - Private room with hooks for clothes - Massage Near Me - Fremont, California

This was the worst massage experience. I have been going for years and it has changed hands a few times. I have had very good masseuse previously but this time my masseuse was 20 minutes behind. There was horrible noise and commotion the whole time from someone vacuuming, people yelling at each other and tossing hot stones in a plastic bucket the entire 2 hours. Not relaxing in the least. The masseuse kept leaving the door open so i could hear everything. Then towards the end the manager came in and was talking to her and then my massage was rushed and ended early. Each time I go seems to get worse. I miss the previous employees and front desk people. Time to find a new place. read more

Great masseuse but only space Chinese. She was trying to sell me the acupuncture services. She's very strong. Worked out knots in my back and shoulders kinda hurt when she was doing it read more

I purchased a Groupon and went today. I guess you get what you pay for. The lady at the front upsold my 45-min massage to an hr for just $10 and so I agreed. I don't usually write reviews but I'm pretty livid with the additional time I purchased & all they did was massage my back and the back of my legs. I was waiting to be told to be turned over, but it NEVER happened. My foot hurt when I got there, but they never asked nor massaged feet, thighs, hands or the head. I told the girl in the front & she said oh shoot I forgot to ask. When you walk in, it gives you the impression that they are a professional spa. But, they don't give you papers to fill out identifying areas for focus. If you have less than 90 minutes, all they give you for a Swedish massage is only the back side of your body. No other areas. NO attention anywhere else. If it was just any other Asian spa, they should just say oil massage and you kinda get that they will be doing whatever they want and not really follow what massage therapists do. 2 stars bc my lady was nice, I still tipped $20 bc there was a big yellow sign about how much was needed per hour. The girl in the front has to know what you want to tell your person and if she doesn't ask, you get basic. I didn't know that if someone is giving you a hot stone massage you don't get more than your legs or back done. Smh. read more

MoodUp Wellness - It gives you the impression they are a legitimate spa that does full body treatment but it's not so - Massage Near Me - Fremont, California

I have been coming to this parlor for years. Good massages, friendly people and clean. I had another good massage as did my wife. Everything was fine, when the massage was over I went out to the lobby and was greeted with a cup of tea. I tipped my massuese Linda $20, she became upset and asked me for more money. The counter clerk got involved, I felt as if I was being teamed up on to give her more money. I found this rude and unprofessional, a first for me at this location. The tip was 20% if not more. Am I missing something? read more

Horrible customer service! Asked lady 3 times to be easy & gentle she never did. My husband & I had couples massage & the 2 ladies talked most of the massage. When I left eh front desk know (because she was the only one that spoke English) she didn't care or apologize. My husbands massage started before mine so I didnt get the full massage I paid for & when he was done instead of leaving the room the lady that did his stayed behind (talking to mine) making all kinds of noise "cleaning." Do not recommend far better options elsewhere! read more

Since my last review, the amazing therapist s at mood up wellness have not pushed the tipping agenda. Which is very nice. Which means they actually get a bigger tip. I've been there at least a half a dozen times and never have had a bad massage therapist yet. They are all very good and professional. The place is clean and the people are friendly. It's so relaxing. I am slowly making it a bigger part of my wellness since I train and teach self-defense here in Fremont. The body and mind needs to rest and be rejuvenated. This is the place. read more

I purchased a couples massage on Groupon for me and my husband and it was wonderful. The Groupon was a 75min foot and body massage for 159$ which included essential oil of your choice and a sea salt soak for your feet. The ambiance was relaxing, very clean and low calming music. The area they do the massages has dim lighting and the chairs are very comfortable. While they massage your feet they give you eye pillows and blankets to get nice and cozy. During the body massage they cover you with a sheet. My favorite was definitely the foot massage since it was more comfortable on the chairs and you could just lay back and relax. The rooms are clean and the ladies did a great job with our massages. They do suggest tips 10-25$. Overall the experience was just what we needed and we will be happy to go back. read more

Linda is phenomenal!!! I do either the 60 min or 90 min massage and I always leave a new person. She is great at the deep tissue massages and targeting the painful spots. Not going to lie, it's not very relaxing at times... But I leave feeling fixed every time and it lasts for days. Not necessarily one of the super cheap Chinese massage parlors that you can find in the City (whilst also not high end) but worth it if you need someone to wring you out. They keep the place fairly clean and private. Would recommend! read more

My daughter went in through a Groupon special as a gift when she arrived she sat in waiting area for a long time before someone finally came out and told her she wasn't into their system when she showed the appointment was told they would figure it out.finally once back there was no communication except the passing of a sheet which she assumed meant undress and wait the lady placed the sheet over her entire body and began to rub her not asking if she had any troubles areas not even asking her her name. The worker sighed and acted perturbed during the whole session leaving my daughter to feel a burden and leaving her in tears. This establishment needs to get their shit together this is not how to treat someone that had an appointment and paid for a session. At the end she was leaving to go get cash from me in the car for a tip where the receptionist who didn't even greet her yelled at her "you're leaving without a tip"! Embarrassing her...here's your tip..find another way to make money you're not meant to deal with people when they are typically there to relieve stress! read more

Found this massage place on Groupon. We were a little skeptical because it's in Fremont but we had such a great experience that it became our go-to spot for couples massage. We got the couple's massage for $150 for 75mins. 25 mins foot massage (incl legs) and 50min full body massage with hot stones. When you come in you'll choose what smell you want (eucalyptus or lavender). I always choose lavender. They also ask you any areas that you want to them to focus extra on. Mine is my upper back and shoulders. I've been to other massage places and this place is the only place that gets it right every time. We love Lily and Lulu because they know what they're doing and when they focus on our problem areas, they actually pay attention to it.   They have individual rooms, and they have a couples room. Their couples room have two big chairs for the foot massage. And they have two massage tables for the full body massage. They have promos on somedays but we haven't tried those out. The price and the masseuse's expertise makes this place our favorite massage place in town. Hightly recommend! read more

My mom, aunts, and I went here during the Christmas holiday and had the BEST experience. The staff was nice, place was clean, and tranquil atmosphere. They had a masseuse ready for each of us at our scheduled time. After the massage, I just thought it was me who had, without a doubt, the best massage I've ever had in my life - shoutout to Peter. But once I get to the waiting area, I found the experiences of my mom and aunts to be the exact same. We'll be revisiting here again. Thank you to the staff! read more

Painful, the masseuse ended up causing more pain, pressing her elbows into my spine. I got a full body and asked for certain focus areas that weren't focused on at all. Extremely inconsistent, causing me pain for the entire day and the one following. They demanded and pressured for me to tip excessively, even with no enjoyment from it. read more

Was gifted a Groupon for a 30 min custom massage with hot stone treatment. I was very nervous going in because this was my first massage in the US and based on some of the reviews I read online, but I am so happy I went! In fact, I loved it so much I bought another Groupon myself so I could go again. The check-in process was smooth and quick. The room was clean, private, and calming. The staff was professional. I didn't catch the name of my masseuse, but she was very kind and helpful. She kept checking on me to make sure the temperature and pressure was okay for me, which I appreciated. They seem to have some good promotions going, so definitely take advantage of that. Just note that the tip is based on the original price, not the discounted price. read more

I am a regular to this place. Consistent with reliable great service. Receptionists are always polite and always try to find a good match of massage therapists that I prefer. read more

Amazing atmosphere, massages and staff! The times I've went, I've never been pressured to give a big tip. The front desk lady is so nice and all the masseuses are great too! I asked for a deep tissue massage and they really gave it to me! She knew what she was doing and made me feel so relaxed. I definitely will be coming back in the future. It is $65 for 1 hour. read more

Well I've definitely had better massages. My boyfriend and I came for a couples massage and they asked us to tip before our massage, we got there at 6:45pm (they close at 9:00pm) and said we had to tip before the massage because the register would be closed by the time we were done... weird but I did it without asking questions. I got a Groupon for a 75 minute couples massage for $160 and tipped our masseuses before the massage. The 70% of the time our masseuses we're talking very loudly to each other, it was not relaxing as it could've been. I tried to just close my eyes and relax but my boyfriend and I couldn't help but exchange nervous laughs and glances when they tried to engage in conversation with us when our eyes were closed or just speak loudly amongst themselves. They only massaged our backs and feet and then said we we're done. We were so confused at the end because we know we did not get the full 75 minutes. The ladies kept leaving to get things and we're unprepared. They have a sign that said if you're not satisfied speak to the front desk but no one was there by the time we were finished so we just left unsatisfied. My boyfriend had to use the restroom but the ladies handed us water and practically pushed us out and he felt uncomfortable having to go back inside to find the bathroom. I completely understand being ready for the end of the day after working since we came in a little later but I wish we could've had a better experience since I've gotten much better full body massages for a better price. Today I woke up this morning with a pain on my shoulder and I looked in the mirror to see a burn mark on my back from the hot stones. I'm pretty upset with the outcome and wish things had gone differently. read more

This is my go-to massage place in Fremont for body and foot massages. My favorite masseuse is Betty; not only she applies the right pressure when she massages my body and my feet, she is also always greets me in a cheerful manner. In the middle of the massage she also always checks in to make sure I was ok. Other than Betty, I've had only 1 other masseuse (i don't remember her name though); she was good too in terms of the technique though sometimes she applies a little too much pressure for my liking and not as friendly as Betty. I will continue coming here for massages. The price point isn't the cheapest, but also not the most pricy, but I feel that you do get what you pay for- in terms of the massages. I tried the aromatic steam service the first time I came here but can't really say it's worth the price. I booked for a 45 min session, but it felt like the machine turned off 15 mins early so I was lying there cold for 15 mind until the front-desk lady came and got me. I did doze off for most of the time the machine was on though. I would love to hear if anyone else has a good experience with the aromatic steam service to see if maybe my experience is a on-off thing. Overall, I will keep coming back, but for the massages. read more
