Local gem! I visited Spa J'Adore while visiting from Chicago. A friend bought me a massage and I chose Spa J'Adore, as I wanted a great massage in a no-frills, not pretentious space. They came through! Located in the gorgeous Post Street Medical Building, Spa J'Adore sits in the penthouse with great views of the city. Sammy was amazing. I treated myself to a 90-min deep tissue. She quickly got to work. A combination of deep tissue with thai-inspired massage, I left feeling incredible! The rate was incredible reasonable . This isn't a place to lounge at all day, but if you want a great massage, Spa J'ADore is it! read more

Luxury experience. Amazing view . I recommend Ilya for a great massage. I liked the decor and the Valcony is awesome read more

I had a fantastic deep tissue massage with Sammy!! She is very professional, friendly and patient. Highly recommend!! The spa is also in a cool building on the penthouse floor with great views and the rooms were clean. read more

I had an amazing 90-minute massage with Dali! From head to toes, all my pain points were treated with the perfect pressure. Dali was very attentive and made sure my problem areas were tended to. I couldn't recommend Spa J'Adore more. read more

I always wanted to try this place and I finally did. My massage was so good! The staff was friendly other than the lady that's at the front front desk. I asked for the bathroom key & she just sat there. I know she's not apart of the spa she's apart of the salon but still.. you should have a positive attitude regardless! But anyways, my massage was really good. I definitely needed it. She worked out my knots in my shoulder so I walked feeling awesome! I'm happy I have a new place to go too! read more

Terrible experience!!!!! Decided not to do the service due to condescending and unprofessional customer service. I could give this zero stars if I could. read more

I found this place at the last and minute. My masseuse was good at identifying pressure point and my areas of concern got the attention i needed. I recommend conveying how much you are willing to talk during the massage. For me, I'm okay with my masseuse asking abiut pressure and areas of concern but i am not at all comfortable talking through my entire massage. For me, it takes away from the experience. read more

I LOVE this place. I always judge a place by the ambiance/decor, and this place NAILS it. The inside is magical, and so relaxing. The experience- Let me start by saying, I am generally the type of person who goes for a massage once every few months, as needed. I'll confess I'm also a groupon whore when it comes to massages. But, this place changed me. Ilya was absolutely amazing and listened to all my issues, in order to cater my massage to me. He lets you choose 3 essential oils to use. I'm very uneducated when it's comes to oils, so I always let him choose. I was so happy with my first one, that I ended up purchasing the pack of 3 60 minute massages for ~$150..such a good deal! So happy I found a place I can consistently go to without feeling guilty every time. Would definitely recommend this place and Ilya! read more

Chenoa was amazing!!!! This was my first time getting a massage ever!!! And she made me feel very comfortable. Chenoa is so professional, she asked me if the pressure was okay and if there is any area I need to focus on more. I honestly never been to a massage so I just depended on her. She was amazing. The pressure was perfect for me. I am usually really really ticklish on my neck but the neck massage didn't tickle at all. It felt so good and relaxing. I felt so relaxed and light after the massage. I am at home now with my 3 year old and feel so relaxed and happy. Thank you Chenoa so much. read more

So I have to take it back on this establishment. The masseuse Ilya started acting unprofessionally during the massage. Even if I shared that I didn't want to talk, he would talk on and on about politics and about his business ideas. He's a good masseuse but it's definitely not a relaxing experience. Nope. read more

Ilya was incredible and I feel so wonderful after my massage. Perfect amount of pressure and I will definitely return. Thank you!

This place deserves my positive review, I'm usually a gold star client but I've spaced on an appt time and a package expiration and they have been very accommodating! The 3x hour-long massage package is a steal (just remember to use them within the valid time frame), the masseuses are good, the ambiance is pretty and quiet, and its centrally located in Union Square area if you work downtown. If you want to go to a clean, calm place for a relaxing massage and be treated with professionalism, this is a great spot. read more

I got a 90 minute swedish massage here by Ilya. I called just the night before hoping to get an appointment and was lucky to get an appointment super early on a sunday morning which worked great for me. Thw Spa was decorated so beautifully for Halloween which was a delight and it has a beautiful view if you go to the balcony. The massage started right on time and Ilya was very professional and asked me what kind of oils I need for my swedish massage. After mentioning about my tight spots he made sure the tightness is slightly relieved. I have a great start to my sunday. Their in house massage deals are to due for. I would definitely come back. read more

Centrally located with an amazing view of the city scape at this spa. After a year away due to COVID, they are now open 100%. I've been coming here to see Penpa since 2019. So glad I am able to return again. read more

I have had several massages with Latsamy, and am so delighted to have found her! I have been receiving regular massages for decades as one way that I manage chronic musculo-skeletal pain. I recently lost my favorite CMT of many years, and am pretty picky. Latsamy is absolutely wonderful! She has a strong and deep touch without being hard, and she always finds the places where muscle pain is originating and really works out the kinks. She has a lot of knowledge and is also warm and friendly. Spa J'Adore is great: I love the affordable pricing (if you buy a package) and the location (near Powell BART) is very convenient, with fabulous views! read more

Feel the need of recieving a massage? Check out Yelp's deal worth $120 at the price for $55.00. I noticed a couple of times the prices fluctuates from 49-60.00 but where in the city can you get a deal like this? YEAH I'll pass on the ones in Chinatown known as the happy ending LOL Located in the Union Sq area at the top penthouse floor. Spa J'Adore has a smooth boutique feel. What can I say? Ask for Simon!! He was absolutely the best. If you like deep tissue and firm hands, he is the man. Words cannot describe his magical hands, I felt like a re-energized person who was totally relax. Hands down, I will be back. read more

Could not be more appalled by this establishment. Bought a Groupon for $95 in February for a couple's massage, and gave to my significant other for part of his birthday present. Had to call several times to get through to a person, since the scheduling part of their site was down, and when I finally got through, they didn't have an opening until July. That was pretty ridiculous to begin with, but I scheduled my couple's massage for 7/28/2013, and left my contact info if anything was to change. I called 4 different times on 3 different days before the appointment to try to confirm since I didn't hear anything, but couldn't get through. Walking into this place was an absolute joke. I scheduled my whole day around this appointment. And when I walked in to redeem my Groupon WITH MY 4 MONTH PREVIOUS SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, they said 'Sorry, we are not doing couple's massages anymore. Contact Groupon for a refund." They had my contact information, it would have taken them 40 seconds to pick up and call me to tell me not to travel all the way to their salon to be turned away. Absolutely ridiculous - avoid this place at all costs (no pun intended, because you will lose $$$). read more

This is a real soothing spa. I came to the spa because I needed some relaxation. I went to the front desk because I had an appointment, I was able to check in 15 minutes earlier than the time that I booked. Everybody in the facility was nice, and the music in the mood really set the tone. My sore muscles automatically dissolved and I felt better and looser than ever. This is a good place to get your mind off of things and I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

5 stars for Chelsea, 4 stars overall. Note that while they tell you on the phone they are on the 17th floor, when you get into the elevator there are only 16 floors...so I go outside - check the building address, I'm in the right building. I ask a guy in the lobby, they tell you to take elevator to 16 and take the stairs to the 17th. You would think they could tell you that. So I get there, and they share a reception area with a bunch of other businesses. I did realize that "their" reception is at the end of the hall, where you go to pay. The water glasses at the end are, teeny - like shot glasses. And here is the reason they lose a point. I go to only about 1 massage a year. it is hard enough to turn off my "monkey mind" for the experience. I was not a fan of the music they play, some Enya (which was *fine"/appropriate) what drove me insane was all the (not quite Musak) versions of real songs done in flute or clarinet, Maybe Kenny G? it would take me 1/2 of a song to try and figure out what "light rock" song they were covering...rather than concentrate on the massage itself. Give me birds or waterfalls. The music drove me crazy. BUT YEAH to Chelsea. I got this on a Groupon, so it was a really good deal. $65. read more

Review for 1 hr, Swedish massage on Saturday, lunch time: -Thanks Ilya for one of the best massages I ever had! - bought 3 more 1-hr massages (was more cost effective than the LivingSocial coupon!) - no pool or hot tub services, but massage is well worth it without those services Tips: - Take elevator to 16th floor - follow the signs and walk up to the 17th floor - walk all the way to the end of the hall to suite 1700 - you need a key to the bathroom, key is hanging on the wall, of the front suite door - if you're in the neighborhood, go have some yummy pho! read more

Spa J'Adore - This sign is posted on the elevator so you know to hit the 16 floor button, and get off there to walk up the stairs to the 17th floor. - Day Spas Near Me - San Francisco, California

Terrible space, there was a screen or sheet set up between my massage and the next, all I could hear was what was going on next door. Apparently a stone massage. For $120.00 it was not the right choice. Sorry Yelp, you let me down on this one. P.S. The owner took the time to contact me and apologize. Seems they just purchased the Spa and are making changes. A complimentary massage was offered and appreciated though I was on vacation so unlikely to redeem. read more

My painful Chinatown massage yesterday left me reminiscing about the last, wonderful massage I had at Spa J'Adore. Spa J'Adore is located in the penthouse of a medical office building and shares the space with other day spa practices. I purchased a half-off deal and booked Dario Cordova MPT recommended on Yelp. Thanks, Yelp, for the spot-on tip. Dario was fantastic. I told him I had shoulder pain. He told me that he studied to be a chiropractor before and said my shoulder pain was because my neck was misaligned. He carefully cracked my neck. I've had my neck cracked once by a Chinese doctor and did not like that experience, but when Dario did it, I barely noticed - it was quick but effective. Dario had strong pressure, used a variety of techniques including acupressure and stretching, and successfully relieved the tension in my muscles. After the massage, he served a nice, hot tea to me before he had to leave for his EMT class. I left Spa J'Adore feeling happy and relaxed. read more

Love this place! Their promotions are a really great deal. Recently moved from SF otherwise I would have continued to be a regular here. Ilya is great!! read more

I came here last Saturday as my husband gifted me a Groupon for two 90min massages. I read the reviews on Yelp and all seemed great. I was really looking forward to a deep tissue massage as my upper back has been really tense from working in front of a computer. Upon arrival it is noted that the elevator doesn't go up to the 17th floor where the spa is located, instead you get off on the 16th floor and walk up a flight of stairs to the 17th. Honestly I was so confused, as there were multiple doors that looked like a super old school legal building (think detective Eddie Valiant's office door from Roger Rabbit). Once I finally found the correct door, I was pleasantly surprised as the Spa was really pretty. No one was at the front desk and I was already late. Instead a random guy in board shorts walked up and I asked if he worked there. He said "No, let me go get someone"...odd, who was that guy? Anyway, I was finally greeted by a very nice gentleman whom escorted me into the room where I met my masseuse Sami. The room was the last one in the very end of the hallway and it was extremely cold; I got goose bumps every time the cover was moved. Sami could barely breathe the entire time; sniffling and breathing heavily out of her mouth. Perhaps the coldness of the room got her sick, either way, I sucked it up and got the massage but the whole time I was annoyed nobody bothered to let me know prior to my appointment. She didn't ask once ask how my pressure was or which areas to focus on, and just went straight to it. From the get-go her technique was completely off. There was no flow or balance to either side of my body, and though I asked for a deep tissue, she completely ignored and often used only one hand to basically poke and rub. I managed a spa for years so I know close mouths don't get fed. I asked not once, but 3 times during my massage to please go deeper with the pressure and to focus on my neck and upper back. In hindsight, I don't know why I didn't just stop her within 15 mins and leave. During check out, I let the gentleman at the front desk know about my bad experience (worst massage ever). He was shocked and said she'd been with the spa for over 6 years and had great feedback. Not sure if it was her being sick or just having an off night, but nothing about that massage was even close to ok. Had I not been given that bit of info I would've sworn she was straight out of massage school or something. He was kind enough to offer a 60 min massage that same night, but honestly, I didn't have another 60 mins to spare and the novelty had wore off. First impressions are everything. I declined booking a future massage with someone else, as I won't be coming back. I am going to ask Groupon to refund my husband and go elsewhere. 2 stars for the beautiful facility and the gentleman, but 0 for the masseuse. read more

I looooove my massages, and I love that Spa J'Adore has specails and deals regularly and it is in a convenient location right off of Union Square. I needed this massage as the tightness is my neck and shoulders has been building from life/work stress. Lately, I try to get monthly massages to help with stress and to have something wonderful and relaxing to look forward to. Ahhh, calgon take me away! Spa J'Adore has temporarily relocated to a different office location in their same building while they renovate but they've nicely decorated the temporary space in relaxing hues with feng shui touches. The masseuse asks you a few questions on preferences and away you go. The massage was focused on the areas requested and the touch was good, smooth, professional and experienced. Wonderful - oh I will be back, for sure! Thank you, Spa J'Adore. read more

I came here on a Saturday with a friend for her belated birthday celebration. Our masseuses were Sami and Marni. We were punctual for the massages but came to learn that my masseuse (Sami) had a rash on her forearms. She said don't worry it's not contagious, I've had it for a couple of days. I'm wondering why nobody bothered to call me before I went all the way to the city for this appointment. She offered to reschedule but really doesn't help the situation much because this should have been communicated to me PRIOR to the appointment to save me the trip. Extremely disappointed in how they handled the situation. I sucked it up and got the massage anyway but had an unpleasant thought in the back of my mind. Sami didn't ask any questions about what areas to focus on and just went straight to it. The room I was in was the last one in the hallway so closest to the freeway. There was not enough curtain in the room to cover all the light. It was also very cold, I got goose bumps every time the cover was moved. The most disturbing part was definitely the rash. I'm pretty sure that violates some kind of health code. read more

Booked a DEEP tissue massage through a promotion and came out a big fan! The +'s: + Simon went DEEP. I walked out feeling that my shoulder and back muscles had been liquified. + Online booking is so the way to go + Great reception area to relax and wait for your therapist + Massage room is adequately dimmed and wonderfully quiet! + Simon concentrated on areas to hit and he hit them on the mark. I had severe tightness in calves, shoulders and back. He applied the right amount of pressure. I needed someone who could dig deep since I have a high threshold of pain. No doubt it was painful but it was worth it! Of course he can lighten up the pressure upon request. + Spa is located at penthouse of building which is close to Union Square. Very convenient for me since I shop a lot. Go to the 16th floor and walk up one flight to the penthouse. The -'s - Simon doesn't do weekends which is unfortunate for my schedule. - Not all the therapists are strong at deep tissue. Knocking off rating for the 2 other massages that I had gotten by two different therapists. TIP: Make sure who you book. Went two additional times and the massages were not as successful. All depends on who you book. read more

When I first booked this place, I was excited because it the ambience of this place looked to be very relaxing and professional. However, upon walking into the spa, there were two masseuse therapists eating and walking around while talking very loudly. Since I brought my boyfriend with me, he was shocked and asked if we were in the wrong place. I had to double check, as I thought this place would be more professional. Although the ambiance is not necessarily great, the massage was relaxing. I however, would not pay this price again for the massage. read more

Loved my massage with Sammie. She asked what I wanted her to focus on and really worked on those areas about 80% of the time. Their area outside is nice to watch the birds of telegraph hill perch and eat some seeds. Great view of SF. I ended up buying a package of massages because I was so happy with the experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

I'm not really feeling this place. The photos on yelp are nice and will have people wanting to get their massage done, but kinda left me feeling creepy when I left. I was getting my massage and all of the sudden I was asked if I get readings done. That was it.... my whole mood changed and I was terrified if my masseuses was gonna give me some readings on me and a whole bunch of stuff. I don't do well when it comes to dark stuff like that. read more

I am going to this place for 1 year now, and this is my second time writing a review. it has a great ambiance and a balcony with a nice view! I want to add that so far my favorites masseuse is Ilya, ( I have a tense upper back/ shoulder) He is a pro for sure! I totally recommend read more

They're at the very top level of the building, which the elevator cannot take you there directly. This makes everything so confusing!! You need to get out of the elevator one floor below and then walk up there. The receptionlist was not so nice when you request anything over the phone. However, if you walk to him in person, he seems pretty nice. The massge itself was a little bit above average. I don't think the level of service would justify their price. Maybe I set my expectation too high cuz I have gotten amazing massages before. read more

I got my first massage ever at Spa J'Adore yesterday. I got a groupon and booked an appointment through Booker. I had a massage with Ilya, and it was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The spa is on the 17th floor, so you just have to take the elevator up to the 16th and then walk an extra flight of stairs. The decor is cooling and relaxing, and I didn't hear any external noise despite the fact that it is in a busy part of the city. Ilya is very knowledgeable about different essential oils, and he shared some oils that may help certain ailments I may experience. He also carefully blended some oils for my massage that would be perfect for what I needed. He also let me smell some of them beforehand so I could select what I liked best. The massage I had booked was an hour long and he took up the whole hour so I didn't feel like I was being shortchanged. I loved it so much that I bought a package of another three massages! The prices here are very good as well. I would definitely recommend a massage at Spa J'Adore with Ilya. I can't wait to go back! read more

Since I had such a poor experience on my first visit, they were proactive and reached out to offer a complimentary service to come back. I am happy to report that it was indeed a better experience. They listened to my feedback. I got a better treatment room and better massage therapist, Eve. However, do keep my other review in mind. Ask not to be in the room that looks like a dungeon...not sure if they're renovating or not. Also, ask for anyone but Rodrigo. It was cold in the room, so perhaps ask ahead of time for a heater in the room. read more

The massage and the environment of the location is all deserving of five stars. This place is truly a little oasis amidst the unassuming building you walk into. Massage was truly awesome and I feel a little mean saying this but when I am getting a massage I want to just disconnect from the world not talk. That was hard to do since I had a chatty one rubbing me down. Maybe on the questionnaire ask that before our massage. Here's why you lost some stars, a one hour massage is never a one hour massage these days so I took from it being cut short albeit only 6 minutes. Yep I set a timer recently because I have run into my share of bad ones. And really the reason why it wasn't five stars is the incredible rude, mean, horrible man I had to deal with when booking the appointment! Wow he had no customer service and yelled at me on the phone needless to say I was a bit nervous going on after that but everyone else was amazing! read more

Not sure if it worth the 2nd star. It was my 2nd day in SF after a long international flight and being 5 months pregnant. I found them on Google and Yelp, both listings are full of good reviews so I called. They got me started from 7:15PM for one hour prenatal massage. Okay..I was like 5 or 6 min late. During that hour, there's no AC, it was a hot day. Even if I'm your last customer, I think I deserved the same treatment. 2nd, I'm not 100% sure when the service started but it was definitely after 7:20PM, however, she told me that the service was ended when time was 8:20PM. REALLY?! You charged me for getting ready for your service?! I didn't realize it till I left the building. 3rd, the reason everyone needs massage is to get relax especially bring a prego, your body is sore everywhere. The masseuse kept telling me she can't go harder because of some reason she was trained but can't remember now! The pressure was so light which I didn't feel relaxed after it. I got another message next day at a different place, the masseuse worked so hard and adjusted the pressure at different places of my body, and the pressure was not too much to make me uncomfortable. read more

I love this place and I highly recommend it! The last time I went there I was looking for a very relaxing massage and Sami did a great job!

Great massages by Eve! She's super friendly, but has totally picked up on my vibe that I'm not very talkative and does a great job working on my upper back and shoulder tension. I go pretty regularly (every 3-4 weeks) for a 90 minute massage and it's always a relaxing experience. I like to get there a little early and sit outside so I can enjoy the view and the parrots if they're there. Fair warning, the parrots are pretty loud when they're there. Also, prices are great for just a massage. I wouldn't really call this place a spa, but I still love it. read more

Spa J'Adore - Day Spas Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm glad I had a groupon so I only wasted half the money, but I'd still rather have my $65. The office staff was friendly. The masseuse was sort of distant and vague. Then she wore rubber gloves the entire time which was really off putting. Worse was that at the end of a 60 minute massage absolutely nothing felt better than it had going in. (I suppose the upside is that, given that she did NOTHING for my muscles, the next day there was none of the usual ache either.) The only difference between pre and post massage was that now I was oily. $65 is a lot to pay for oily. The assistant/receptionist did offer to rebook me with someone else but since I was in from out of town it hardly seemed worth wasting my other day in the city on another potentially bad massage. I won't go back and cannot recommend them. If you do decide to risk it, take note that the spa is not accessible. The elevator in the building stops one floor short of the top and if you cannot climb a flight of stairs you're out of luck. Glad my mobility challenged friend had other plans that day or we'd have been in a jam. read more

Pretty good value for massages in Union Square! I've had massages with Ilya, Marnie and Latsamy. I think Latsamy understood my needs the most. She was very sweet and located all of my knots and applied the perfect pressure for each area. Ilya was also very good, although I think he might have been a little light-handed. I could have asked for more pressure but it was fine. Marnie's style wasn't my favorite. She will explain to you that she's less inclined to do a "foofoo" massage. So if that's what you're into, don't schedule your service with her. The penthouse space is interesting as a number of different businesses share the space. I believe there is just one man that works the counter/phones for Spa J'Adore. He's always very nice and remembers to offer tea/water, ask if you need to use restroom etc. A tip, just because I work in the building. The parrots that hang around the building are very loud in the morning around 10am and again around 5pm. If you want a completely serene and tranquil massage I would suggest refraining from these hours. Their chirps are not what you hear in those relaxing spa recordings with little finches chirping. These birds are obnoxious and there's a lot of them! LOL read more
