My best friends treated me and our other best friend to a day at Burke Williams to celebrate our milestone birthdays, and it was such a special experience. The four of us arrived early and took our time enjoying the amenities. The cozy fireplace, the relaxing lounge, and the complimentary hot and cold wellness drinks were the perfect way to ease into the day. The only place we weren't able to go into was the quiet room bec it was full. I had a 50-minute massage with Sunny and she was incredible. She had the perfect touch and pressure, knew exactly where I needed the most work, and was so attentive the entire time. She even made sure my friend and I, together with our 2 best friends, had celebratory drinks and charcuterie after our treatments, which made the experience feel even more personal. We loved the hot tub, sauna, and steam room, and really took advantage of everything the spa had to offer. If I had to name one small improvement, it would be having more hair ties (had to ask for them) and some basic hair styling products available in the locker room. But honestly, the staff was so friendly, warm, and accommodating that it more than made up for it. Overall, it was such a memorable and relaxing day. The perfect way to celebrate a milestone. Highly recommend!

As a regular of downtown SF's Burke Williams, it was the end of an era when they shut down. Recently, my group decided to try their Santana Row location to see how it compared to the one we used to know. Booking our 80-minute appointments via phone was a breeze, & we were met by professional staff at check-in. They're in the business of customer care & it shows in all points of contact. My masseuse was completely lovely & used a gentle touch when I needed but I was working with an injury & I don't think she knew how to handle such an issue. As they aren't physical therapists, know your body's limits before engaging their services. Nice touch keeping my robe in a warmer during my treatment. After our massages, we took advantage of their amenities: steam room, sauna, quiet room, & jacuzzi (loved the cold hand towels to help keep you cool.) If memory serves (& if I'm not simply romanticizing my old fave), the SF location was more spacious & had a more updated appearance. As this location is inconvenient for me, I'll be booking Burke Williams far less than I did when they were in SF; but for those who frequent Santana Row, this day spa is undoubtedly a lush experience.

With its grand curved staircase to the entryway and it's absurdly high pricing, I was expecting quite the experience from Burke Williams, and it came pretty close to delivering. To start, the customer service here was great, probably the best part of my experience. Everyone was very professional and friendly, and ensured that the customer was number one. It was my first time here and I they were happy to help me schedule over the phone and give me a tour upon arrival. I came about an hour before my massage to get checked in and enjoy the amenities, check in and the tour took a little longer than expected, so if you're a first timer I'd recommend coming even earlier to really get to experience it all. The spa has a unisex waiting area and then a women's and men's side. The women's spa side included a very large jacuzzi, sauna, steam room (which was closed when I was here), quiet room with reclining chairs, showers, and plenty of toiletries. The amenities were nice and never felt too crowded, though I was here on a weekday in the middle of the day. After enjoying the amenities, I got what I came here for, a massage. Since it was my birthday I got an upgrade and chose to change my pure relaxation massage to the detox option. I probably wouldn't choose this on the regular as it is a bit more expensive and isn't as relaxing, but it was nice to get the himalayan salt scrub and the aromatherapy. My only real complaint about my visit is that it was pretty loud in the hallways. During my massage I could hear people scuffling by and having full volume conversations. So it wasn't quite as relaxing as I had imagined it would be, especially for the cost.

Ask the Community - Burke Williams Day Spa

Does this location have champagne as an option for the client after the treatment?

If they have it, you would need to request & pay for it. It's not something that is freely given to clients as part of the service.

I am calling at 8pm on a Thursday and the answering machine said they are closed. Is this location permanently closed?

No, they're open. Perhaps they don't take in new guests as it nears closing time. Still, that's an odd message for an answering machine during operating hours.

Do the estheticians wear face masks during treatment?

Some do. Depends on the esthetician

Do they offer massage services for men?

Yes they cater to both men and women

Where is the best place to park?

I prefer the lot across from Maggiano's. Any lot works as it is centrally located atop Hotel Valencia.

Do they offer pedicures outside?

I've never seen them offer that. The spa is fully open.

Can I book appointment just to use the spa or do i need another service as well?

You can book spa-use without having to book another service. I'm unsure of the price, but it's an option

Do they offer gel polish with their manicures, or just traditional polish?

Good afternoon, we offer Dazzle dry polish which is a long lasting, excellent and healthy alternative to gel.

Are masseuses wearing masks?

When I was there, I saw some wearing masks and some were not.

Are the sauna and jacuzzi area open for use now?

Good evening Cheri, current mandates don’t allow for heated amenities at this time, however our spas are open and we have been cleared to utilize lockers, showers and the vanity area. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Do offer Dermaplaning as a service?

Do Spa Finder gift certificates work here?

I read that they did, but they told me no. Disappointed that it was denied.

Do they have a separate men's spa and sauna?

Yes. They have two separate sides for both women & Men. Clothes are optional.

If my husband I go get massages using our gift certificates, can we go into the hot tub and sauna together, or are their separate areas for men and women?

The Burke Williams location in San Jose have both the hot tub and sauna services separate. You and your husband would have to use them separately. The Burke Williams location in San Francisco both men and women can use those services together.

I originally booked an acne facial, but after taking a close look at my skin, Cindy recommended that a congested skin facial paired with microdermabrasion would be a better fit. I really appreciated that she customized the treatment based on what my skin actually needed instead of just sticking with what I had booked. She was so thorough and took her time with my facial. She removed an incredible amount of blackheads and whiteheads, and I never felt rushed. Throughout the appointment, she explained what she was doing, answered all of my questions, and gave me personalized recommendations for how to care for my skin between appointments. I know one facial isn't going to fix years of congestion, but my skin already feels so much cleaner and refreshed, and I left feeling like I had a plan moving forward. Cindy is knowledgeable, honest, and truly cares about helping her clients achieve healthy skin. I'm looking forward to continuing my skincare journey with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely wants the best for your skin!

Been with Mimi since February of this year, 2026, and by far received the best results within less…read morethan 5 months for my annoying small acne bumps that would always appear visible under lighting or sun. Mimi was able to help me by creating a regimen full of skin care products that I never had previously, and yes you HAVE to be consistent. She never once poked my skin using a needle or any rough tool to extract anything that will leave a mark. She is so gentle. My skin feels fresh and moisturized each and everyday. My skin with makeup application feels so much better. I received so many compliments about the glow of my skin & how clear it looks! My overall goal was to use less makeup (foundation) coverage and only acquire concealer for small corrections .. and, of course, my cream blush. Thanks to Mimi, my goal was achieved. More often I'd rather go with concealer instead of foundation just because my skin looks so good without it! Ladies, if this is the goal you're looking for, I promise you won't regret it. The cost is worth it all. Thank you Mimi for being part of my journey towards regaining my confidence back & embracing the skin God has created for me to love. Definitely will be a long time client.

I can really recommend MeMe from my personal experience going to her for hormonal acne concerns…read moreover the last 4.5 months. She gives firm and clear advice on consistency of skincare, which is something I was too lax on. And the new AM/PM routine really started to show results after daily consistent use around month 3. My skin is way better now, and has far less active breakouts and congestion than where I started from. When breakouts do happen, they are individual small pimples and not clusters of breakouts. So they go away on their own much faster. It's a relief to have clear skin again, thanks MeMe!

I never thought I'd be the kind of person to do any of this. I've never wanted treatments for…read moreface/body pI used to look at cosmetic treatments and just not get it. But navigating peri-menopause, heavy depression, and sudden weight loss all at once completely drained me. The weight loss made my face drop and lose so much volume, and I was feeling so old and ugly that I honestly regretted losing the weight in the first place. Louise has been an absolute angel through all of it. She actually listens, validates every single insecurity, and takes such incredible care of me. I've done 2 sessions of Sculptra and 2 sessions of fillers with maryam and jamieson. Sculptra is so gradual and looks completely natural. It's not about changing your face; it's just rebuilding what you lost. I know it's an investment, but it is so worth it. We waste so much money on daily coffee and little things without a second thought why not put that toward feeling good in our own skin. Even my husband was totally against me getting anything done at first because he was terrified I'd look fake. But seeing how natural, fresh, and glowing my skin turned out, he completely gets it now and is 100% on board with me keeping up with it. Seeing the results first hand totally changed my perspective, and I finally understand why people do this. Waking up and feeling like myself again has been life changing. If you're struggling and need someone who genuinely cares, go see Skin Refine you will be in the best hands. Not to mention staff and atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly. They make me feel welcomed and youthful lol.

I've always been hesitant to go to a medspa because of what I've read and heard about how pushy some businesses can be with new clients. I also felt intimidated that I would be talked down to because I have only researched treatments and have had no prior experience. I'm really thankful to say that my experience at Skin Refine Medspa has been extremely positive. I felt seen, heard and understood. Most of all I felt safe! I've been going to Skin Refine since January of last year and I absolutely loved my experience so much, I've been returning since and recommending them to my friends! In fact, I just went in today and felt confident to schedule a new treatment for myself. Thank you to the Skin Refine staff for making me feel safe and secure in my own skin. I am grateful for the ability to ask questions without committing to anything until I'm ready. I feel beautiful and so happy with my results!

One of my eyelids grew milia throughout one year out of nowhere, and it was really bad for my self esteem. I was looking around for where to get this fixed, and my primary doctor suggested a professional esthetician. I asked someone on the team if they could deal with this type of issue, and Aily responded promptly by asking for details and confirming a quick appointment. As Aily deftly removed my milia while explaining what she was doing, she also analyzed my skin and basically said that I'm good and needed no treatments done. Honesty especially in a profession where you need clients is so rare that I wished I did have something that would have prompted a treatment plan with Aily. Aily was gentle and informative, and helped me feel both physically and mentally better by tenfold at a time when I was feeling quite depressed. I will now refer my friends who do need help with their skin here.
