Loved my 60-min therapeutic massage with Kristy…read more She was truly gifted in helping me relax and feel at ease -- I don't get massages regularly, but everything she did was perfect and I was able to truly let go. She even gave me tips for my piriformis syndrome, and was very gentle and conscientious around my (now discovered to be) rotator cuff injury. I was really impressed with her knowledge and advice on some of these longstanding issues. I also for some reason thought I saw reviews mentioning her (maybe it was Rachael instead? Sorry ) but regardless, Kristy had such a kind and gentle spirit and I would absolutely trust her for any of your bodywork needs!

I was a little confused booking online because each masseuse had different rates. I called and they made me a profile and booked me. I went to KRISTY and she was soooo goood omg. She litterally massaged me like noone before even my stomach. The staff is so sweet. They even have a relaxation room where you can hang before leaving which I sat and drank my tea. I absolutely loved this place and they will be apart of my self care.

I love Piedmont Springs. I started going to see Milena before and after my back surgery…read more She has made such a difference in my healing and I look forward to our sessions together.

Primary purpose of this review is a huge shout out to masseur David Righthon, who gave me one of…read morethe best massages ever. A sure, gentle touch with plenty of careful power to apply when needed. I've not been in for some time due to health issues. The spa amenities have slid a bit since the pandemic (e.g. bathrobes are no longer provided for patrons booking tub or steam/sauna before their massage), but otherwise still a lovely community resource for health and relaxation.

I have been here three times, and each visit was fantastic. The most recent service I received was…read morea couple's massage with my girlfriend. I was fortunate to have Bob as my masseuse. I typically request very hard pressure. Unfortunately, most masseuses will understandably tire out before 30 minutes and then they coast through the rest of the session. Not Bob - this man kept that very hard pressure I so desperately sought throughout the session and he put all of his energy into my treatment. He was communicative and ensured I was comfortable the entire hour. Honestly? It was one of the best massages I've ever had. Bob, if you're reading this, I sincerely thank you for caring for me today, and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon!

Sunny came and got me promptly at 9:30 and she did a great job with the pressure and massage. I didn't expect much for the massage but she was great.

I booked the 9am and got there about 8:25, which gave me time to get oriented/tour facility and do a soak to prep. The reviews were accurate. I glad I was solo, made it easier being comfortable being nude. Lots of amenities to glam up before leaving. It was calm and quiet when I arrived, and got busier as I was leaving. Staff was great, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They explained everything and answered questions with a smile. The place was super clean and staff actively removed used towels/swept throughout my stay. A good scrub, felt like a symboloc ritual for shedding the old for the new. I now have baby soft skin!

Absolutely loved my spa day here. Came around 9:40am for a 1030am appointment…read more We did a 90 mins milk and honey treatment. After the body scrub they wrap your body in a foil while they shampoo your hair and apply a face mask. The spa is small but has the essentials: sauna room, steam room, cold plunge, and jacuzzi. Upstairs there's a clay ball room and the salt room. My absolute favorite was the clay ball room. I was so relaxed after my 90 mins treatment when I went into the clay room I almost fell asleep. I will definitely come back. Only thing is it is in japantown so parking can be hard. But it was very convenient to go across into Japan Center for lunch afterwards

She has a full open Angel of Water state-of-the-art system which is truly next level.

Downstairs feels like a spa lounge with a cozy couch, relaxing music, and a TV, and upstairs has a sauna, two beds, a private bath, and even a kitchen area, all spotless and peaceful. Jacqueline instantly made me feel comfortable and truly cared for. She's knowledgeable, calming, and clearly passionate about what she does. This is hands down the best colonic experience I've ever had. If you've been considering trying colon therapy or you're a regular like me, you have to experience this place. Absolutely 5 stars!

Back in the day, this was my go to spot for waxes. I went consistently enough that the place that I…read morewould get regularly waxed at, stopped growing hair. That was probably one of the best things about this place besides, they're overall ambience and calm environment. It is also very clean here. I've been to a couple of other places, but this is my regular spot. If for any other reason, I just wanna get like a touchup I would definitely come here and pay the higher price point and get professional service here instead of going somewhere else and paying less but getting subpar service. They also give you numbing spray which is super helpful and other great tips to minimize hair grow growth. Totally worth it and highly recommended!

Nobody asked for a Kabuki vs OnsenSF comparison, but here…read moreyou go. 1. $$$ Price Kabuki is $49/pp 2.5 hrs OnsenSF in the tenderloin is $50/pp 2 hours 2. Environment & Ambience: Kabuki has a much wider space, calming music, great ambience, wonderful smells and decor. OnsenSF is a dining space when you enter and spa in the back. Everything looks modern and nice, relaxing environment despite being located in the tenderloin. 3. Hot Tub: Kabuki has a rectangle shaped hot tub as opposed to OnsenSF's square shaped tub. 4. Cold plunge: Kabuki has a cold plunge that's perfect for people who don't need it to be extremely freezing. OnsenSF has a cold shower with many heads in place of a cold plunge. Both are enjoyable experiences 5. Steam Room: Kabuki's steam room is also rectangular as opposed to OnsenSF's square room. Kabuki's steam room also has a shower to rinse off excess salt and sweat before entering the common area. 6. Showers: At Kabuki, there's also a line of stools for the seated handheld showers where you can fill a tub of water and pour it over yourself in addition to the traditional shower stalls, where OnsenSF only has the traditional showers if I recall correctly. 7. Sauna: The sauna was great because you could adjust the heat by moving up the wooden bleachers. There was also plenty of space to stretch out and lie down. There were wooden half-cylinder blocks to place under the neck and back to promote blood flow. My partner's favorite standout was the salt scrub they have that's free to take at the refreshments table. You use it to scrub away dead skin in the shower and steam room. My favorite was the bowl of towels buried in ice cubes that helped me keep a cool head in the hot tub and sauna room. I will say that the thing that makes OnsenSF stand out is their dining pop-ups, but there's plenty of dining options on Fillmore and in Japantown. I would definitely go back to Kabuki again. The experience was incredibly relaxing. Highly recommend.

Possibly the best bathhouse in the Bay Area…read more Kabuki Springs is tucked away off a busy street in Japantown and feels like a portal to another dimension, one full of warm water, a quiet atmosphere, and plenty of lemon ginger tea. I was instantly drawn to how intentional everything feels here, from the dark wood of the sauna to the sleek tile in the showers. It feels carefully crafted to be both modern and timeless, with the Japanese motif flowing through all of the design. Personally, I love the dim lighting in the baths; with no windows, it feels like time is suspended. Is it midday, or midnight? Sunny, stormy? Early, late? You can't really tell when you're there, and that feels like the point. It's an escape in its truest, most relaxing sense. Attendants are constant in the baths, which makes it feel far more luxurious than what the price would suggest. Cucumber, lemon, or plain water are all on tap, as are iced hand towels, salt scrubs for the steam room, and hot lemon ginger tea. I loved how cups are encouraged to be reused (I hate seeing the giant pile of single-use cups in the trash at other spas). I'm holding out hope, however, that traditional green tea may make an appearance in the future! I'd recommend attending on one of the single-gender days, as I found that lent itself best to the fully immersive experience. Shower sandals are available, though I found them a bit uncomfortable. Next time I'll be sure to bring my own. As a bathhouse enthusiast, I cannot recommend this place enough. I can't wait to bring my friends here to learn for themselves just how relaxing and rejuvenating the sauna, steam, soak, and plunge rotation can be.
