This place is so relaxing!!! I came by cause it hurt so much things about this place!! honestly super clean inside service is a beyond amazing ! It is such an experience that you have to try! At the beginning or at the end of your massage, you can use their massage chair to relax and wine down!

This new head spa place just opened up in South Pasadena, and I saw their advertising on Instagram so thought I'd give it a try. Let me warn you, this is going to be a novel of a review, so grab your tea, sit back, and see what I experienced, you won't want to miss it! I made an appointment on instagram, specifying what I wanted and when. It seemed fast and easy enough. The day came, I received a confirmation message saying they can't wait to see me at 3:00. Mind you, I made the appointment for 3:30 and won't be able to make it at the time they said. I even sent the screen shot of the initial confirmed time. They were able to accommodate, thank goodness. When I got into the place the first thing I noticed was how aesthetically pleasing, new, and clean it was. Great! When I got to the front desk at 3:20 (10 minutes before my appointment time) a lady came out from the massage area and asked if I had an appointment. Before I go on, I need to mention this, the ENTIRE staff speaks Mandarin as their main language. I gave her my name and appointment time. She didn't know what massage/package I wanted even though they texted me half an hour earlier to confirm my arrival. I wished the staff communicated better with each other and have just one person at the front desk in charge of just booking and guiding the customer through the process and expectations. I mean, I've been to scalp massage places before, but never have I been led to the back and asked to be sat on a massage chair, which by the way had all their buttons in Chinese. She proceeded to set the timer on for 15 minutes and left me to my own devices, literally. My neck is very short and so instead of massaging my upper shoulders, the machine knobs kept circling the base of my head, which was quite uncomfortable and I didn't know how to change that! There was no one around for me to ask. So as I sat there waiting for the 15 minutes to pass, wondering if this was going to cut into my 70 minute scalp massage treatment (spoiler alert, it didn't, again thank goodness). When the 15 minutes were up, the massaging chair stopped, and my head was no longer bobbing back and forth, I sat there for another few minutes wondering if I should get up and say something or sit there like an idiot not knowing what was going to happen next. I decided on the latter. Finally someone came (who happens to be my head spa masseuse) and asked if I could wait 25 minutes before she can start on me. Umm, no. First off, my appt is at 3:30, 70 minute spa would make the appt end at 4:40 and I set it at that time since I need to pick my daughter up at 5pm. So I told her no, I can't do that. She said ok, that's fine she will start working on me. This is getting long, follow for part 2. Haha jk but seriously, other than my masseuse giving me the 70 minutes I paid for and explained my scalp condition to me in the beginning and end, the whole hair washing was okay. She was quite strong in massaging my head that I had to ask her to go softer. I expected a facial massage and cleanser or some type of face treatment too (like how other places do) but she didn't touch my face at all, other than the heated eye pads that were too hot and I had to ask to remove (in her defense, she did warn me prior to putting it on). Again, wished someone told me the whole process of what to expect every step of the way before it was done. The shampooing and massaging of the neck and body was okay. There was a lot of repetitive motions. Half an hour into my massage, someone brought their kid in and was talking in Mandarin the entire time. It was difficult to relax. The only positive? I did like the scent of the conditioner they used. I think that was the highlight. This place has a lot of potential as it was a nice setting with individual rooms and calming scents and I wish them all the best. But for now, it's not a place for me. Please work on staff communication and explaining to customers what to expect. Maintain a quiet atmosphere and diversify the massage and shampooing techniques. I tipped my masseuse well knowing how much time she spent on me. Hopefully management sees this and improve form future customers. Thanks for sticking to the end! Enjoy your day :)

Purchased a Groupon for this new head spa at the end of 2024. Called to make an appointment and was told that don't take Groupon. I shared with him that this must be a mistake because I obviously have one and it matches the business name and number as well as address. I then asked for a manager to call me back, which no one ever did. I ended up contacting Groupon and hassling with them for a few days and eventually they gave me a refund. Groupon did speak to the spa and they simply told them that they didn't wanna take any more Groupon they sold.

Free sodas,Coffee and tea

My friend and I want to treat ourself and have some girl's time,So why not scalp spa right? Elegant Scalp Spa were where we wanna give it a tried. Vibe : The place look nice and clean.A little bit moderate noise which I secretly hope it could be more quiet but anyway vibe was good! By the way,They offered free sodas,tea and coffee OMG we loved it! Service : It's worth the price and we went since they open in the morning,So not many people yet and all the staffs are nice and friendly.We chose gold package and it's just what we needed,The only thing I wish it would be different was that they used a varieties of hair product that fit the needed of clients.My hair and my scalp came out great and clean but I've been to the other scalp spa and my hair came out softer and smoother that's all. Parking : Plenty of street parking but make sure to read the signs where you can and can't park. Overall Do I wanna go back for the second time? Absolutely! It's a good place overall.

Gift certificate
Mariana P.

I purchased this gift certificate from the sales rep named Mark when I tried to book an appointment they said it was expired but clearly gift certificate does not have an expiration date they asked for proof, said they would show the owner and get back to me they clearly can't communicate.

Today was an incredible experience meeting my favorite Jenny. She's incredibly talented and I can't stop gushing about her hands.

Is the "Swedish massage" the only service detail difference between the "Swedish massage &scalp" and the "Gold Relaxation" package? I'm interested in the Gold R as well as getting a little massage.

Is there parking available?

Dr Shi is a wizard. No, a fairy. No, a healer. Yes, definitely a healer…read more Although A Beautiful Day Spa is well known for their massage treatments, the well-kept hidden secret is Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been practicing acupuncture for decades. Dr. Shi can speak some English, but is fluent in Mandarin. As a patient who speaks some Mandarin, I'm fortunate enough to learn that Dr. Shi travels to give speeches in China and he continues to learn the arts of healing. Dr. Shi is an unorthodox acupuncturist in which his methods are not just sticking needles in your body. He asks your body to change the tendons, the muscles, the bones, the fascia, and even the skin. And yes Dr Shi talks to your body, it's so strange (I know), but he can find where the source of your pain is from and he tries to find the root cause of the pain so he can transform your body. Even if I don't tell him I have pain in a specific area, he will find out after assessing your body. As someone who suffers from multiple injuries, my chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems caused migraines, dizziness and pain with movement. I saw renowned acupuncturists twice to three times a week for three months and my symptoms never improved significantly enough to go about my daily life. I saw Dr. Shi for one month, twice a week and my headaches and dizziness improved right away. My range in motion also increased with less pain. Additionally, my stiffness and deep pain lessened. So why the magic... okay, I get it. You need a concrete example. I have a painful bump in the back of my head, it was about 2inch so not too big, but pressing on it caused migraines and shooting pain down my neck and spine. Dr. Shi placed acupuncture needles in my body, asked me to do some strange movements, and in three sessions the spot was less tender and I no longer have shooting pain down my neck and spine. This was also combined with Western medicine. It's not completely gone because he explained that healing is treatment, time, taking care of yourself, staying warm and moving correctly. I also like the way Dr. Shi inserts and takes out the needles. He prepares your body and gently inserts the needles. If it will be a painful spot, he will guide you on how to lessen the pain for that acupoint. I am excited that the acupuncture clinic will be opened soon. This way, Dr. Shi can help more people.

I was really excited for this place from all the reviews I saw, but it wasn't what we were…read moreexpecting. I had booked a 60-minute massage for my mother and requested strong pressure. The receptionist confirmed that they had someone who had the strongest therapist booked for my mom and I had nothing to worry about. However, my mother told me there was barely any pressure even when she inquired they said that strong, deep pressure would be an extra charge. Which is fine, however, it seems that they just gave her light strokes throughout. She wanted to walk out mid-session but chose to stay to see if there would be any improvement but there was none. We would not recommend this place. Update: Dustin tried offering us 30% off for us to come back.. doesn't seem like a good/decent solution to anything. We declined and still would not recommend this place.

I have back and neck problems and have gotten at least one massage a month for the last 10+ years. For the last several years, Lucky is the only therapist I've gone to. She's consistent, understands anatomy and musculature, and she tailors the massage to your needs. I prefer medium-pressure Swedish style, but shes versatile and she'll supplement with some stretching or even walking on your back if you request it, and I've enjoyed the therapeutic value of both of those things on occasion. She's a very capable massage therapist, and for me, her massages are the perfect blend of bodywork and relaxation. The facilities are clean, and the front desk staff is consistently friendly and helpful. I've been to this spot since it was called The Massage Place, then The Massage Hub, and now Massage One Wellness. I purchase massage packages to take advantage of the package discount, and I've never had any issues with them honoring my package when they've changed the store name. I see some reviews where gift cards weren't honored; maybe it's a physical gift card instead of the packages purchased at the front desk? I always pre-buy the package when I'm checking out, and the package is then digitally associated with my account. If you're looking for a quality massage for a fair price, try Lucky at Massage One!

Upon arrival, he had weird vibes about the place. No one spoke English so there was no clear direction and communication. His masseuse just pointed to a room so he entered and was left for a few minutes. Again, because there was no communication, he was thinking "Do I undress or what is happening?" As the service began, the massage was extremely rough, like putting DIRECT pressure on the spine. To the point where it was very painful and not even remotely enjoyable. The craziest part to me was that my fiancé felt uncomfortable because his masseuse was only using one hand because she was using her other hand to be on her phone calling people. HUH??? How unprofessional. I was baffled to hear this. Then the last half of the massage it seemed like she was simply rubbing just to pass time and not actually massage. If you are looking for even just a HALF decent massage, do NOT come here.
