I've gotten many massages before, and I knew this wasn't a fancy place, but never in my life have I…read morebeen straddled without my consent to receive a lower back massage. My masseuse also spent an uncomfortable amount of time on my glutes, basically manhandling it which felt more like an ass grab than a muscle massage. To make it worse, she lifted the sheet for my leg massage while she was still straddling me, and thrusted against my butt and held it there for a moment before getting of the bed to begin the leg massage. She used a heavy amount of massage oil, I was practically dripping, and due to the length of the butt massages, I had about 5 minutes of the final part of the massage when you flip over onto your back. Have you guys ever heard of someone rubbing on your pelvis during a massage? Because I've never had that happen it me. It was extremely uncomfortable and felt fetishized. I tried to look into it she even had a massage license and couldn't find her name. I believe her name was Jie Dong. So yeah, please do your research before going in here. I felt extremely vulnerable and didn't know how to take control of the situation. I wish I said something in the moment, but I don't think anything excuses that behavior.

I needed a good deep tissue massage. Lady met with a smile. Told her about my needs. She said 10 dollars more for a deep tissue massage. I agreed. It would take her at least good 5-10 minutes to get her hot stone and towels. She saturated my skin with oil. It was not a well pointed massage. She did glided her elbow towards my bony parts... which of course hurts. My muscles are still stiff. Neck can't still turn fully. I wish I had driven further to my usual place. She expected a tip towards the end. Different expectations I guess. I gave her what I thought the service deserved which would be close to nothing. Sorry.

First off... I feel so torn writing this review... because Amber is absolutely the BEST and I want…read moreto keep that a secret but she deserves it -- Amber is our absolute FAV massage therapist because she's holistic, incredibly intuitive, and just an all around incredible human being. We chose her initially for my wife's pregnancy to entrust someone to give her prenatal massage and Amber was the absolute best. You really want someone who knows what they're doing because of how sensitive the body is and Amber is a mom herself and knows how it feels. For me, I like deep tissue and Amber is SO GOOD at it and doesn't hurt the muscles, some deep tissue is totally off base and they go into areas and damage more than they help but Amber is right on the money. She's a healer, an extraordinary person, and we're SO excited for her new spot, we used to have her come by all the time when she had a mobile setup but now looking forward to going into her new sanctuary!!

I like how she knows a variety of techniques as well as energy work. Not many people around do cranial sacral balancing. Her touch is gentle yet profound at the same time. I feel like every time I'm getting a session. It feels like a warm hug from my best friend. I have been seeing her for a few years now and was pleasantly surprised this last week when I stepped into her New Spa oasis in downtown Walnut Creek. I always joke with her that she can be an interior designer. Because everything is top-notch. Don't think just because she does Swedish and lymphatic drainage that her deep tissue is weak. Her deep tissue knocks my knots right out. If you're looking for a high-quality Massage, this is the place you need to book. One of the best parts about her new location is that it includes free parking.

Upon checking in, the staff welcomes you with a questionnaire and a foot bath (?!). The facilities are clean and tidy. After a 5-min soak, you're provided slippers and escorted to the treatment room. I've had the Signature massages here before-- the best. It feels like a combination of Swedish, Thai, back walking, acupressure, and hot stone. Everything you could want. Their oils are delicately scented and leave my skin super soft. And they focus heavily on your preferred areas, while still leaving enough time to massage the rest of your body. I've run into places that either disregard your questionnaire entirely or focus solely on your preferrred areas; Hattha didn't have this issue. They seem to strike the perfect balance. The massage therapists are courteous and professional. And STRONG...! They don't shy away from applying pressure or working out difficult knots. I always return home so relaxed afterwards. I need to take my bf here next time...!

Sometimes it is difficult for me to get a hold of them to get an appointment but I feel like scheduling online was best and if they missed my call they'd text me back.

The massage was relaxing with perfect pressure. Price is reasonable and the facilities are clean. I'll be back for my regular massages here!

Not only is the lady at the front super sweet and accommodating, but the foot massages are so amazing! We are a family of four and the foot massage room is absolutely perfect for us - mommy and daddy take up two beds, and the kids take the other two beds. The kids get the 30 minute foot massage and then relax for the next 30 while the parents get an hour massage - loves it! It cost $60 each for the adults and $30 each for the kids (under 7yo). Such a nice and pleasant experience - can't wait to be back!

I have been coming to Palace Spa for years but mainly for a Swedish massage. I recently had tried…read moretheir reflexology massage which was amazing. They have a separate open room with about 6 chairs in it, lights are very dim and the room is quiet. I did the 60 min foot reflexology and it was amazing. They start with massaging your head, shoulders and upper body while your feet soak in water. After about 15 mins they get to your feet. If you are active like me and have sore feet this is a must try. For the last 15 minutes they flip you over and massage your whole body. I always seem to pass out. Next I have to leave a review on the scalp treatment they now provide. I have seen this all over the internet and have been wanting to try it. This location is the only place I know of that has it in or near Concord. The price is very affordable and you can add on a foot massage. Well I booked an appointment and let me tell you, I have never walked out of a massage place smiling and feeling so refreshed. I highly recommend the scalp treatment, we don't realize how much stress we carry in our head and for someone who uses their brain a lot for work lol this just released all stress and tension I had.

Mikayla was very friendly and explained everything she would be doing during the process. I chose the Advanced Head Care which included the scalp/hair treatment along with a mini facial massage. The service also included massaging of the neck and shoulders. She showed me pictures of my scalp in the beginning and how to tell the difference in areas. Unfortunately she did not do the after shots so I'm not sure how it looked after the treatment. Maybe next time. ‍ It was very relaxing and educational. They have a 20% discount for first time visitors and I do plan on going back again. I recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

I hate leaving a bad review - but this was not a good experience at all for me…read more I visited H20 because I have thinning hair and thought this head spa might be able to support me with better scalp care. I purchased the "expert scalp service" which included a mini facial. It ultimately seemed like they just don't cater to people with any scalp or hair issues, they don't ask you about your concerns or goals, and really they provide a one size fits all experience. I really wanted to optimize my hair and scalp care, and sadly came away with the opposite. If they knew anything about scalp care for thinning hair, they sure didn't share any of that knowledge with me. Pro: The person who did my treatment seemed very kind and she meant well, so I have nothing against her specifically. I am giving two stars just because they seem like they try, they just don't seem to have any actual expertise in scalp or head care. The scalp analysis was a few quick close up scans of my scalp with no real explanation other than "see, there's some build up". I have very fine, brittle and thinning hair and the tech kept brushing it roughly throughout different parts of the treatment, including when it was wet with product in my hair (great way to lose more hair). I cringed as I could hear and feel my hair breaking every time. The treatment table is super uncomfortable and my neck kept locking up as the tech worked on different sides of my face, scalp and neck. The facial itself was totally claustrophobic - they put the face mask on, then a big sheet of gauze with something on top to weight it down covering your entire face, including mouth and eyes. It stays there for an hour while they do the scalp treatment. I couldn't see anything and there was so much going on with the water - it totally freaked me out when I was lying there trying to relax and had no idea what the tech was doing. And at one point, all of a sudden there's all this water shooting out at my neck out of nowhere. I spent half the treatment bracing myself for jump scares because I couldn't see anything. But even worse than the hair breakage was that the facial irritated my face so much that I am now all broken out :( I take really good care of my skin so this is a huge bummer. I have no idea what they did to it - there was some kind of scrubbing machine at the beginning of the facial that may have stripped my moisture barrier - or it was the fact that they left the mask on for an hour while they did the scalp treatment and it clogged my pores. My face is now all red and bumpy and some of it is itchy. This has never happened before, and I have no allergies - I think they just messed with my skin way too much. I'm sure they did not consider any specifics of my skin type or age when they did the facial. I'm glad other people like this place, and I'm sorry I didn't. If you have any specific scalp or hair issues, it may be best to avoid H20 or like me, you will come home with a lot less hair than you started with (and possibly a broken out face too!)
