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.

Experience is night and day depending on who you get, and if bought online, or prepaid discount pkg…read more(usually sold after a great first time experience). Similar to other reviews, once money is sunk, you'll likely see shady practice where "the good therapist" is usually unavail or they'll double book and game your time until you settle for others. I had a great first massage, followed by some of the worst by others...barely any effort or movement. One essentially just held my hand for a good 5 min (I thought she fell asleep). I've had stronger handshakes. This is unethical. If they want to render less service for deals, it should be stated upfront rather than bait and switch.

When I started itching for a massage, I decided to check groupon to see what was available. These…read moredays, yelp spoils me so much that right next to the groupon window, I almost always have a yelp window open to check reviews before I purchase anything. Yup, I'm that chic. No shame over here. It's money so I better make sure it's well spent. From the description, they were offering a "pure relaxation" massage and I instantly had images of myself laying on the beach with a big fat umbrella, two insanely hot guys fanning me, the sound of slowly lapping waves in the distance, and some ice cold water being handed to me by an insanely hot chic. Ahhhh.. Back to reality. This is a massage we're talking about. I saw Tommy's name mentioned a few times in the reviews so I decided to book with him. Upon walking in, I was greeted, offered water and then introduced to the man himself. He walks me back to his private room where he shows me the table, asks me which spots he wants me to focus on (lower back, scalp).. He proceeds to give me a super relaxing, firm (but not super firm where I would consider it deep tissue) massage. The hour flew by and before I knew it, it was time to go. If you're looking for a spot to get a great massage with a skilled therapist, come to see Tommy.

Parking is easy underneath the building. I have had myofascial massage sessions with 2 therapists- Ms Bria and Ms Blanca. Both have a slightly different style but both are amazing. The pressure is perfect, they seem to find the right knots. On occasions when I went in with back or neck pain, the therapists have been able to reduce the pain. I always leave the room feeling relaxed. End of the session, Ms Blanca also does stretching which is super helpful. Highly recommend it! Please give them a try.

From start to finish, with two different sessions now completed, I've had everything I've not known…read moreI needed and what I requested, far exceeding my expectations. Coming from someone who has seen chiropractors and massage therapists since age 12 (now age 44), I know a thing or two. However this was refreshingly different. I felt heard, understood, seen, and all the things you wish for in any given relationship! However I don't know about you as the reader , but for me I'd MUCH rather be MOST LISTENED TO and understood BY THE ONE who is going to help in (hopefully) making me feel better not just physically but mentally as well, by reliving the pain in my body. Amen right ? Well that's what has happened for me here. From my over explanatory phone call about my pain (I'm sorry and grateful to and for the woman who had to listen on the other end) to my over explanations to JONATHAN , who by the way is by far the best massage therapist IVE EVER HAD (and I do not ever LIE nor would I ever joke about pain management /relief). Jonathan truly listened, heard and understood me. That was blatantly clear by how he worked on my body. Done deal he's the best! But of course none of this could be possible without the man himself, Dr. Leslie Chui. The man exudes excellence, integrity and kindness. He's the type of guy whose presence calms your entire being , without even trying. His chiropractic technique and skill are above and beyond , just like his practice (Back & Body Wellness , in case you didn't pick up my hints ). Dr. Les has created something special here, not only proving that science can be medicine, but it takes the right type of people to orchestrate this type of healing. It shines through in his hand picked staff. I give Back & Body Wellness ALL of the stars, I give it a 10 out of 10. I don't think I'll find anywhere else that is so unique, full of skillful people and so dedicated to helping others. I Thank you so so much Dr. Les, I am ecstatic to have found your practice, and you
