    Cartier K.

    I visited this location last week & will definitely be coming back again. I left with my scalp feeling so rejuvenated and hair feeling silky smooth! While there, I received the Combo B package (which includes shampoo, conditioning, water circulation, scalp and shoulder massage) + Ginger Nourishing Hair Soak (hair mask + steam) & it was 80 minutes of pure bliss. Their hair products for sensitive scalps smell so good too, like fresh peaches & honey. This location has only been open for a couple months, so everything is brand new. Overall my experience was a pleasant one and Christine did a great job at making me feel relaxed.

    Love the aesthetics

    It started with a detailed scalp analysis by Christine, who then customized a treatment based on the results.

BUT this review is mainly about the AMAZING Kat! I started seeing her for a prenatal massage, then postnatal and now normally deep tissue. She's done trigger point with me which is when she holds a point and I breath into it as well as pin and stretch technique. Today we did deep release technique- psoas release. She has been influenced by Rolphing and has studied miofascial releasing technique. She specializes in Integrated Therapeutic, Motherhood / prenatal, Thai, Acupressure, East / West, Trigger point and Deep Tissue. I have been to A LOT of spas and seen many massage therapist all over the country / world and she's tied for first place in my book. Highly recommended her, just don't take my time slot ;) :) PS she also works in the Los Gatos location and if you visit her there you can use the pool / hot tub / sauna :)

I also appreciate that they push to turn off or silence phones. Unplugging is the way to go when visiting these types of facilities. Also, the massages were fantastic - I got the deep tissue massage and I felt like a new woman after. My boyfriend also felt the same way. I teased him after about him making noises when getting a massage lol. He very much enjoyed it as this was a birthday present for him! We will definitely be doing this as a ritual every 3 to 4 months! Note: the only issue I had was parking - extremely hard to find parking. We recommend that you come at least 1 hour before your appointment, not only because of the parking issue, it also gives you ample time to enjoy the extra amenities that I listed above which comes with every service you book for.

    Review for Immersion Spa ‍…read more I absolutely loved this place, and to this day, I still miss it. When I lived in the Bay Area, I was a faithful and loyal customer at Immersion. It became one of my favorite self-care rituals. I would bring family and friends, and I went regularly--about once every quarter. It was something I always looked forward to. There is currently no Korean spa in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I live now, and the closest option is in Atlanta. So yes... boo-hoo. Nothing quite compares to this experience. What made Immersion special was the sense of freedom and relaxation the moment you walked through the door. The spa is thoughtfully organized, very clean, and beautifully maintained. You store your belongings in secure lockers, receive a waterproof wristband, and then the entire experience begins. I always arrived at least 90 minutes before my massage so I could fully enjoy the amenities. That extra time was part of the magic. My favorite features included: * The hot tub and invigorating cold plunge * The wet sauna and dry sauna * The gentle, calming warmth of the Himalayan salt room * Complimentary roasted tea and water * High-quality bath and shower products in the women's area * A peaceful, well-run environment with clear structure and cleanliness standards Everything felt intentional and relaxing. My go-to service was always the Fusion massage, which blends shiatsu and deep tissue techniques using organic coconut oil. The therapists were incredibly skilled and intuitive--they knew exactly how to work out tension and restore balance. Some of the best massages I've ever had were here. Over the years, prices have increased slightly--as they have everywhere. I remember paying around $100 before COVID, and later seeing it closer to $130. Even so, the value of the experience made it worth every dollar. I was there hook, line, and sinker. A few practical notes for future guests: * Parking is limited and shared with neighboring businesses (including Kumon), so timing matters * The spa has separate men's and women's areas * No outside shoes are allowed inside the spa * Clothing is optional in designated areas, which is standard for Korean spa culture * Plan to arrive early to fully enjoy the amenities before your service One service I personally never tried was the traditional Korean body scrub. I watched others experience it, and while many people love it, it looked a little too intense for my taste. That said, the massages and spa amenities are absolutely exceptional. If you're considering a membership, it's worth exploring. This is the kind of place that becomes part of your routine once you experience it. I still haven't found anything in the Southeast that truly matches the level of service, atmosphere, and overall experience of Immersion. I keep looking--but this one set the bar very high. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

    My first time at a Korean spa, and it was a great introduction! The facilities were very clean and…read moreneat. I've never done the full rotation of hot tub to dry sauna to steam sauna to cold plunge - it was genuinely painful. If you've never experienced this, be prepared to get your heart racing. I was expecting a relaxing experience, but the saunas will leave you out of breath, and the cold plunge will shock your system. It's supposed to be really good for detoxing your system, and I definitely felt like I sweat out a bunch of toxins. We really enjoyed the massage chairs after this whole rotation and showering. The massage chairs are super comfortable and have a variety of massage options. It was so soothing that I fell asleep during my massage. There are a variety of popular scrub massage options that I did not try this time around. The downstairs co-ed dry saunas were a bit underwhelming. The saunas were comfortably warm and had blankets to rest on. These saunas didn't seem to be for the purposes of detoxing since they were at a moderate temperature. I was so comfortable that I ended up falling asleep in multiple rooms lol. Bay Spa was the perfect introduction to Korean spas, and I will definitely be returning!

    This was my first time doing a Korean spa. I had previously only eaten at the cafe for lunch and…read moreloved their kalbi rice bowl so I came back for the spa experience with my friends. Once we paid and given key to lockers and 3 towels (1 large & 2 small), we locked up our shoes (only) in the lockers to the right of the front desk. Then headed inside to grab a pair of slippers from the shelves to the left (don't grab the ones in the basket on floor which are for used slippers). Then head upstairs to the locker rooms to change and store your things to the same numbered locker. Also, grab a pair of shorts from the shelves in there. The room with massage chairs is nice if you can find a good chair. The first massage chair I tried was perfect for my needs because I have neck and shoulder issues recently but the massage chair I have at home doesn't even reach my neck and only somewhat knead my shoulders and massages whole body. This chair (where the display controller is mounted on right and has a "neck & shoulder" function) was able to focus only on the neck and even up the back of head and down to the shoulder and shoulder blades areas only (pull out the padding behind the head area if you don't feel much happening). Some of the chairs did seem worn down and torn up but many were in good shape as well. Downstairs is the 3 Jade, Clay, and Salt rooms including an Ice room. No slippers inside rooms so place slippers on the shoe racks outside. Be extra careful going inside the clay room. There are handrails to help you get in and out because the clay balls are actually a few inches deep and very slippery and it's kind of like you're stepping into quicksand. My friends did the body scrub while I did the massage. I don't know if all masseuses massage the same way there but I did not know that the massage included being stepped on. I am a very petite gal and Gina was a bit bigger than me. It wasn't just stepping with one foot but with both! I don't know how much of her entire weight was on me because there were two ropes hanging for her to hold onto but I felt like I was being tortured during the 10-15 minute that she was on me. I can understand if the client is much bigger and so you need your full weight to get enough pressure, but I am only just around 100 lbs, petite, and asked for medium pressure and was still stepped on. After that massage, certain spots around my back and pelvis (boney spots) seemed as if they were bruised cause they hurt with even just touch. She handed me an envelope afterwards for tips. I still tipped her but I don't think I would get a massage there again due to that experience. Maybe if you are a bigger build or get a different masseuse you might enjoy it. Overall, her massage was not all that useful, or even if it was, the stepping on undid it by giving me a traumatic experience. But there were a few times I thought what she was doing didn't seem like it did anything. If I hadn't gotten the massage, I would have given 5 stars because the facility and front desk staff I encountered were great (I asked front desk about adding massage and she was very friendly and helpful and immediately was able to book the massage for the earliest opening a few hours later), but I had to take a star off just for my experience with that masseuse. Would go back to the spa to unwind and relax, but I will most likely not get massage there again.

Our appointment was confirmed, and we even received confirmation at 8:14a.m. the morning of our appointment. We arrived on time, only to receive a text at 11:02am while we were already outside the spa--saying they no longer had availability and asking us to reschedule. It was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. To make matters worse, the front desk employee didn't even handle the situation herself. Instead, she called someone else on the phone to speak with us, and that person was incredibly rude and not helpful at all. Canceling a confirmed appointment after we've already arrived, especially the day before our wedding, showed a complete lack of respect for our time. We planned this experience to help us unwind before an important milestone, and instead it added unnecessary stress. I would not recommend this spa. If you value professionalism, communication, and customer service, I would look elsewhere.

I needed to be done with the massage by 10:50 AM and out the door by 10:55 AM since I live within walking distance. At 9:20 AM, I received a text asking if I could move my appointment to 9:55 AM. I agreed, but clearly replied that I needed to leave by 10:50. They read the message. I arrived around 9:52 AM and found the door locked. The business hours posted said they open at 10 AM, so I thought it was odd that I was able to schedule an appointment before opening. After waiting a few minutes, someone let me in. I got into the massage room around 9:58 and then waited another few minutes before the massage started. At that point, I could already tell things were running behind. To be fair, the massage itself was excellent. She did a great job, and I genuinely enjoyed the service. I kept trying not to stress about the time because I had already communicated my schedule and assumed it would be honored. Unfortunately, when the massage ended and I checked the time, it was 11:05 AM. I was now late for my meeting. What made it more frustrating was that I had specifically communicated my timing needs ahead of time. Another thing I found a little unusual was paying for the service upfront. Tipping is done afterward through Venmo, cash, or card. When I told her I would Venmo the tip as soon as I had internet service again (you know how Palo Alto can be), she seemed concerned and appeared to want me to stay until it was completed. Normally that wouldn't be an issue, but I was already running late and had to rush home. Overall, this was a mixed experience. The massage itself was very good, and that is the reason I would consider coming back. I just wish there had been better communication and more effort to respect the timing request that I clearly communicated in advance. Unfortunately, the stress of *literally* running back home took away from some of the relaxation I had just paid for.
