Juan is a very talented masseuse. Easy to book, very nice room and amazing massage. I had my first massage from him today and I usually go to female practitioners, but he made me very comfortable and was very skilled. Wonderful oils, very skilled and hot towels at the end. I was butter! He didn't talk a lot or try to get to know me - but I was there for a massage. I get how some clients may want a more personal touch, but I was there for the sole purpose of a relaxing massage. That's exactly what I got. read more

Fantastic massage, outstanding care. Really perfect in every way. Very caring therapist, respectful and professional. I'll be back.

The massage studio is impeccably, clean and charming filled with Buddhas a nice heated massage table. The bathroom is very clean. Juan is very neatly groomed. neighborhood is charming. It is easy to book. There is only one problem one seems to have absolutely no interest in his clients. He answered the door frowning. He told me that he wanted to enjoy himself and he needed people to relax while he was doing what he did and he needed to be able to do what he did Because he had so many years of experience to spite this initial rudeness I decided to try the service. He never once asked me how I was doing. He allowed me to tell him what pressure I wanted, and he adjusted the pressure I had told him I did not want any pushing or pulling or stretching, and he did all sorts of pushing, pulling and stretching. His moves were professional. He obviously knows what he's doing. Perhaps he prefers to work only on men and if that is the case, he should have stated that I don't know there was just absolutely zero heart and his rates are very high 150 an hour with an introductory rate of 130 I am also a Yelp provider of services And I knock myself out to give my clients what they are seeking and to always applied TLC. When I perform my service, it's not about me. It's about being of service. Clearly this is not the case with Juan. The music was very fast-paced and I'm sure that embodies his philosophy of getting people out the door as quick as possible. This is unfortunate. read more

I got the deep tissue massage which was good. I expect the Swedish massage is where it's at! The venue was clean and calming. read more

I am a masters track and field sprinter/jumper. I booked a massage with Juan because my hips and legs were in knots. Juan applied the perfect blend of massage, trigger point, movement therapy. I feel like a new man. Without a doubt a 5 star service! read more

I'm pretty sure this was the best massage I've ever had. Juan Pablo is very professional, his space is very relaxing and I really appreciated the cold water after a great massage. I would absolutely recommend him for everyone looking for a great, relaxing massage in San Francisco. read more

Juan is amazing ever I had for long time, I loved how he organized well and fast responses. This review has been over due but it was blessed experience. read more

Juan is great! Best massage I've ever had. Also really appreciate his flexible schedule and late hours that make after work appointments easy. Highly recommend! read more

My experience with Juan was excellent on all accounts! His space was clean and relaxing. We had a thoughtful discussion prior to massage and he focused on areas of concern. He even asked if I preferred massage lotion or oil which I appreciated and considered quite thoughtful. Pressure and massage itself was really excellent. One of the best I've ever had. Particularly probably the best I've ever had on my lower back, if that's what you're interested in! I would come again and would recommend. Thanks Juan! Extra thanks for taking me so last minute! read more

Juan is fantastic. The atmosphere is calming and perfect to relax and recharge. Highly recommend!

The Swedish Massage was amazing. I was received by Juan who had his mask on and with a very straightforward and calming protocol of temp checking, hand-sanitizer and forms to check for any COVID-related symptoms. This left me at ease and I was able to fully relax and enjoy my 60 min massage. Juan was very attentive to my concerns and focused on the spots that really needed it and it left me fully relaxed. He even gave me a few tips to take care of my back daily. read more

Juan provided an excellent massage experience. He was super attentive and caring from the moment I arrived at his massage studio. I love the ambiance he has created in his space, and during the session the music and lighting kept me in a state of tranquility I haven't experienced elsewhere. After explaining my tension areas and soreness he instantly set out to work making sure to check in with me along the way on the level of pressure. The massage felt very focused on the areas I requested. I love that he provided choices between oil and cream. The hot towel at the end left me feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day and it's great that Juan offered me water to make sure I stay hydrated. The location is convenient if you're in the haight, mission or near Golden gate Park. read more

I've seen Juan 4 times now over the past few months and have recommended him to several friends and family members. He is absolutely AMAZING, and I am so happy I found him. He takes extra care with COVID--sanitizer, temperature check, etc. He is also such an extremely talented, intuitive, and effective masseuse, and I've had a lot of massages. His booking is easy, and he is always on time. I really can't say enough good things. Go and take your body to Juan! read more

Juan gives a great message. Very relaxing but also therapeutic, using a good mix of medium to strong pressure (but never too strong), along with stretching. Good advice after on how to avoid getting knotted up again. The place was clean and pleasant. I will definitely be back. read more

Juan is wonderful! The most relaxing massage I've had in ages. I highly recommend, will be back again soon!

Booked a 90 minute appointment with Juan and was not disappointed. He asked questions at the beginning to see if there was anything specific I was looking for and at the end asked if I had any feedback on what I liked or didn't, which I really appreciated him asking. Definitely one of the better massages I've had and will be going back! read more

Juan was amazing. His studio was clean and quiet and very relaxing. He was very good at asking what my preference were ahead of time and he made sure I was comfortable during the whole massage. He asked about my preference for oil or lotion. Very professional. Took his time. Thanks for am amazing experience. read more

Juan is a one-of-a-kind massage therapist. After a *very* stressful day at work with many deadlines, he eased out all the tension in my back. Even knots I didn't realise I had! Needless to say, I will be coming back. Note that Juan is flexible with his pressure and can change to suit your needs - at times I nearly fell asleep. His technique is also unique - being a traveled massage aficionado, I don't believe I've experienced something quite like it - a combination of deep tissue, Swedish and stretching. He's respectful and a great listener. My phone had ran out of battery and I needed some way to get home - Juan offered to give me a lift. Really one of a kind, and very professional. read more

Juan Pablo was so good. I was able to make an appointment the same day and was very impressed with his setup -- felt very spa-like even though it's tucked up on a residential street. He used a variety of pressures and the movement/stretching throughout was really refreshing. He seems to really understand the body and this was one of the best massages I've ever had (pre-COVID, I used to go every few months so have experienced the good and the bad for sure). I will definitely be going back as well as recommending him to my friends. read more

I found Juan through Yelp and I just had one of my best massages...and I like massages. Juan is very intuitive with the body. At the end of my massage, I felt completely relaxed with more space in my neck, shoulders and upper back than I have felt in years (my focal point request). Juan also implements stretching as part of his practice which is unique and in line with loosening the muscles (I love it!) In addition to that, Juan is professional with a calming and kind demeanor. He has also created a welcoming and soothing studio in which to practice. The room is warm and so is the table which is an added bonus. Long story short, go see Juan! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! I cannot say enough positive things about my massage with Juan. I have problems with tension headaches due to stress in my shoulder and neck muscles, so I needed a specialized treatment. This is exactly what I got, and more. He exceeded my expectations. First, he saw me last minute. I called and he was able to see me within the hour. I had a headache that was going on three days, so I was in a lot of pain. The space itself is calming, clean, and lovely. We talked about my specific issues, and he offered a choice of lotion or oil, which was really nice. He has an instinct for how much pressure to apply. The entire massage was just right on, and very, very helpful. He deserves 5 stars without a doubt, and I will definitely be back. read more

This was my first time with Juan, and let me just say that he is absolutely wonderful, took me in within an hour of my initial message to him, showed up to a lovely studio, very relaxing and clean! Extremely professional, knowledgeable and my massage was amazing. I feel fantastic! read more

10 stars!!! By far the best massage I ever got and I am very picky. Juan knows what he is going. He is the master of massage! He asked all the right questions - and listened. I felt rejuvenated and the pain and tightness went away. His place was clean and I felt very comfortable getting a massage there. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. read more

My first time with Juan was truly exceptional. He is extremely professional and pays close attention to detail- providing water before the massage, walking through the process before starting, asking questions about my preferences. The cucumber eye mask and hot towels are amazing as well! Juan is very good at what he does and takes lots of pride in it. This was the best massage I've ever had and I felt like I was walking on a cloud for hours after. read more

Juan is a fantastic therapist and a true professional. His space is so relaxing and he pays great attention to detail to ensure your entire experience is top notch from the moment you walk in the door. I'm so glad I've found him in the neighborhood and highly recommend :) read more

Juan accommodated my same-day massage request and I'm very glad I choose his business. His massage room was spacious and relaxing, and he was experienced and kind. I'd certainly return if I was a local, but I was only in town for business. Thanks, Juan! read more

I scheduled a 90 minute massage with Juan because my usual massage therapist is in Europe for months, and I was a ball of stress, aches, and tight muscles and fascia. I was in need, and Juan had availability for me. The studio is convenient in the upper Haight, and Juan is gracious, warm and inviting. The lighting, music, and aromatherapy were immediately relaxing. I quickly filled out standard intake forms and he asked pertinent questions about what needed work and how I prefer bodywork. I have had a series of excellent bodyworkers in my over 50 years. Juan provided me an excellent and intuitive therapeutic massage. His handiwork demonstrated his deep knowledge of of technique and pressure. I opted for arnica oil because I was in such knots. He operated deftly at each swipe of his hands and each pressure point. It also was so comfortable to have Juan working on me, that any worries I may have had about how my tired, achey, post-holiday-gluttony body might have looked melted away. He fully put me at ease. Juan knew every point to hit, and did so with talent. This was a remarkable massage. I will be a return client. --Luke read more

My experience with Juan was one of the best massages I've ever had! He was extremely professional, his studio was quiet and relaxing, and he asked for all my preferences ahead of time which was a great touch! I particularly loved the stretching he incorporated and the cucumber eye mask. I highly recommend him and will definitely be coming back! read more

Juan is warm & welcoming, and he gives a great massage! I had some back & neck pain / stiffness, and his focus on those areas made them feel great again. The ambience & mood was super relaxing & calming too. read more

Very professional and helped me relax the moment I stepped in the door. Very welcoming environment and he was very detailed about the process before we got started so I felt very at ease with him. It was super easy to make an appointment with him and the last part where he puts cooling pads on your eyes was the cherry on the cake! read more

Juan is an intuitive, amazing body worker. I went in because my back had gone out and consequently tight as a drum. I left feeling soooo much looser! I'll be back! read more

Juan gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. It was the perfect mix between relaxation and stretching. I'm not from San Francisco, but will definitely be going again when I'm back in town!! read more

Juan was exactly what I was looking for. He has a lovely relaxing studio and was a very attentive masseur. He was also very eager for feedback, which is unique. I rarely find massage therapists they care too much after the service is over. I will definitely be going back there. Best thing I've done this weekend so far! read more

A true relief and pleasure. From gracious and prompt communications and a comforting welcome, to the massage creme he used, all was smooth. I loved his stretches and the graceful movements he put my limbs through on the way there. The pressure was great. The room/music was artful, warm and soothing. And my body has been enjoying the after effects! read more

It was the best, most all encompassing, massage I have ever experienced. I left feeling relaxed and limber and less tight in places I carried stress. I did not need to say much as he found them on his own. He is extremely talented and blends together different styles to create one great experience! read more

Juan is a brilliant massage therapist. I've been fortunate to have experienced massages all over the world, and Juan is among "the greats". His style seems to be a combination of deep tissue and Swedish, though he also incorporated light stretching. He offered oil or lotion, paid close attention to the problem areas I mentioned, and his room was perfectly tranquil- spa music, really warm, and aromatherapy all made it comfy. I should mention that his massage space is in an apartment, which threw me off at first, but it was so comfortable, I'd definitely return and recommend him to friends. Thanks Juan. I feel way better. read more

I booked my reservation with Juan last minute because Kabuki was full, but I'm happy to say that my massage was in the top 10% of experiences that I've had over the past 20-years. I will definitely return and would recommend Juan to my friends. His studio was welcoming, relaxing and clean; his explanation of his process and technique was clear and professional, and, most importantly, the massage was profoundly healing. I prefer strong Swedish and Juan delivered. He combines technical skill with an initiative reading of the body. read more

I found Juan on Yelp and he was within a short walk of where I staying. Juan was well reviewed on Yelp and was very accommodating fitting me in on short notice. Juan met me in the doorway when it texted that I was there and was very welcoming. He has a dedicated room in his apartment that is clean and warm. The massage was VERY relaxing and just the right pressure. I hope to have time to visit Juan again the next time I am in San Francisco. read more

Juan was fantastic. His studio was beautiful, clean, and professional. He was very attentive and clearly discussed what the desired service was. He was very skillful and I left feeling so much better. His flexibility with timing and the fact that I could get a last minute massage is amazing. I'll definitely go back -highly recommend ! read more

Juan is a life saver! I was in some pretty serious pain after an overly intense workout and desperate for a massage. After a very late night yelp search of massage specialists in my neighborhood, I decided to send Juan a message first thing the next morning which he responded to within 10 minutes. He had an opening for that afternoon and I pounced on it. Prior to the massage I could barely get out of bed from my muscle soreness, after I felt like I could move without pain for the first time in days. The location is on a quiet street and the room is set up to feel just like you are in a spa. Next thing I do after writing this is booking another session with him. read more
