This is my second time visiting Pimalai spa and it was as amazing as I remembered it to be…read more I made an appointment for a one hour deep tissue and they assigned me a massage therapist named George. George greeted us I entered the spa and offered me a choice of Water, Hot Tea or Champagne. All good choices but after a full day of traveling I opted for the bubbly beverage while they preparred the room. George asked me how much pressure I would prefer and the areas to focus on. I had been sitting on a plane and carrying luggage so my entire back was stressed and in need of work. George stretched my back muscles and proceeded to relieve the tension that had built up. He seemed to know every muscle in detail and knew exactly the right pressure and technique that was required to complete the task at hand. I heard joints popping and oils being applied to my tired muscles all while relaxing on a warm massage table with comfy sheets and headrest. The music playing in the background was soft and relaxing. I have had many massages over the years and George provided one of the best I have ever had. Next time I am in town I will stop by for another wonderful experience. They have multiple rooms and a full staff so I would assume all the massge therapists to be top tier. I highly recommend Pimalai Spa!!! John L

Pimalai is the best place to get your massages here in San Antonio! I have come to Pimalai twice…read moreand each experience has been amazing. From the moment you're greeted at the reception desk, you'll feel taken care of. The vibe inside is peaceful and serene with low, comfortable lighting and soft music playing. My partner and I had a couples massage by therapists George and Reuben, with both of us getting Thai Combination massages. George's work was amazing, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and so relaxed! He guided me through the process gently, explaining what he was going to do and how it would feel. My entire body was relaxed by the end, from the soles of my feet, my back and my arms, all the way to the top of my head. Don't hesitate coming to Pimalai for your next massage, you'll leave feeling amazing!

Small lady but I swear she almost broke my arm puttting that much force with my arm hanging over the table. Im a larger lady and damn tough but this was one of the most anxiety riddling situations I've ever been in. If you are used to a legitimate massage experience dont go here.

Unfortunately, that ended up being a mistake. The location is inside a gym and has the appearance of an abandoned space, which was already concerning. After booking my appointment, it was canceled the same day and I was asked to reschedule. I agreed, but when I showed up for the new appointment, I waited 15 minutes and no one showed up. I reached out and never received a response. I genuinely like supporting small businesses--that's one of the reasons I love Yelp--but this experience felt extremely unprofessional and disappointing.

Therapists: I love that they have so many therapists and offer late hours, which makes scheduling super easy. I usually book male therapists for deep tissue, and they do an excellent job. Madriz and Tres are especially amazing -- very skilled, professional, and know exactly how to work through tension. Membership: I have a monthly membership and it's absolutely worth it. Great value if you go regularly. Theres different tiers of massage therapists. Keep in mind for tier 2 & up, you pay extra on top of the membership fee. The only con is that the prices have skyrocketed from when I first started coming here. Overall, Oak Haven is my go-to for consistent, high-quality deep tissue massages. Highly recommend if you want real therapeutic work, not just a relaxing spa massage.

I called to book since I had two appointments to schedule, and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. My fiance had been for a massage here once before, but it was my first time. The check-in process was very easy, and my masseuse, Alisha, was very professional and friendly. I like that they don't use your time talking or asking a ton of questions- they spend that time towards treatment. I felt the massage was very relaxing and of course at times a bit painful!! However, I'm already feeling some relief since my appointment. My partner was also happy with his massage and is feeling relief. The pricing is pretty standard, and if anything slightly less expensive than other spots. We will definitely try to book more often because it's certainly helpful if you work a physically straining job and workout.

When I looked up Massage 4 U, it looked like there was a legit business named with actual reviews and then this one, with nothing. So being who I am and trusting Yelp, I did not like the signs. The lady on the phone was extremely unprofessional in the few times I called her prior to the massage. Phone call 1: (very drowsy) "can you call back in two days?" (seriously?!), phone call 2: "oh sure we can do a massage, what time, well 11 is better for me" (what the hell?!), and the morning of, phone call 3: "can you come in around 12, I have some things to do, great thanks" (OMG, WTH?!). I knew driving to this massage that I was in for the worst massage of my life and my boyfriend urged me to not go, but I felt bad since he'd paid for the massage and it felt like such a waste. In I walk to a business building where I'm greeted by some old, clown-faced woman dressed in a spaghetti strap top (which she had no business wearing) and shorts. OMG, this is my masseuse?! What the hell happened to professionalism?! She told me to walk to her office and she'd be there momentarily. I walked into her "office" and it was hideous: random objects strewn around, it looked like maybe she lived here too. The massage room was even worse and I'm pretty sure she uses sheets she bought from a thrift store that haven't been properly washed because they smell like butt. I was disgusted. Once again, I SHOULD HAVE LEFT. The massage was horrible. The masseuse was sucking on lozenges the entire time and of course she was sick (which I got later), and she seemed like she had no FREAKING CLUE WHAT SHE WAS DOING. She kept doing this weird joint jerking thing which I don't trust anyone but my chiropractor to do but she kept saying she has her "own, unique" way of doing things. Yeah right, lady. Massages are supposed to help relieve muscular stress, assist in the lessening of muscle knots, and just be gosh darn relaxing!!!! This massage was no where close to this standard. I don't know how she finds customers but I'm hoping she's soon out of business because she clearly is scary and in all the years of receiving massages (which is like over 2 decades), she needs some masseuse health check to come in and review the crap out of her. DON'T GO. DON'T GO. DON'T GO. This is not the Massage 4 U, you are thinking of.

I am a massage therapist who needed a good massage and Darla, the owner, delivered. What the heck…read morethe other person was ranting about I don't know. I was handled professionally from the beginning and got a same day appointment which is not easy in this business. Most folks don't realize that good therapists have many customers in various locations and scheduling appointments takes some flexibility. Not too mention many customers are flaky and don't show up when they say they will.....and guess what, we don't get paid when we show up and you don't. Anyway, the massage office is comfortable and relaxed. I like to talk as I see this as part of the therapy. Darla worked around my chatter and asked me all the time if I was feeling better and if I wanted this or that, heat or pressure or so forth. She is caring and skilled. I for one will be going to her again, as I said being a therapist myself, she understands where I hurt. I feel very safe with Darla and she offered me a wealth of information regarding supplements and vitamins to improve my overall condition.

I am writing to share a complaint about my recent post-op massage with Lori. I have had two…read moreprevious therapists at this location and both experiences were excellent, so this appointment was very disappointing. From the beginning of the session, Lori was extremely rough with the massage. Post-op massages require care and gentleness, but throughout the entire appointment her technique felt overly aggressive and uncomfortable. In addition, she made several comments about my body that were inappropriate and insulting. She asked if I had liposuction on my arms, which I did not. She then asked when I had a tummy tuck, which I have also never had I only had a C-section. These assumptions were unnecessary and made me feel uncomfortable during the session. There were also moments that felt very unprofessional. At one point she tossed a pillow onto my neck area instead of placing it properly, and when wiping the oils off my body with a towel she was extremely rough. This is something I have never experienced during any massage, especially a post-op massage where extra care should be taken. Because my previous therapists were so professional and gentle, this experience stood out for all the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as the level of care and professionalism during this appointment did not meet the standard I experienced before.

I have been a returning client for over a year and Dafne has the expertise and excellent customer service that truly make my appointments to be the highlight of my day. Dafne always takes my medical needs into consideration during the massage therapy session and she does excellent with massage therapy for my scoliosis, surgery sites, and scar tissue. She always knows how to provide a relaxing experience while helping with tough spots or complaints that I address during the therapy session. My visits on a routine basis with Dafne have truly made my quality of life better because since I have been doing massage therapy sessions with her, I have noticed a decrease in the amount of visits to the hospital, the amount of times I get sick (in general), my breathing capacity has improved greatly, and because of all of these factors, my overall morale has shown great improvement as well. If anyone has considered going to Key to Wellness for massage therapy, I highly recommend visiting Dafne. I guarantee that you would not regret it and would be able to tell the difference as to just how much it can truly change your life for the better.
