I wanted to spoil my mom for Mother's Day. I did a bunch of research before traveling to San Diego and found Firefly Wellness Day Spa! This place was so perfect. The spa was very clean, and calming. Quality: The services request was amazing. I made an appointment with Jess for my massage, and my mom had a facial and a massage. Jess was great! I loved how she listened to what I wanted to focus on during the treatment. I was very pleased with the treatment! I would totally recommend booking Jess for your massage! She will tailor the treatment to you! My mom absolutely LOVED her spa day! She was so happy with her facial and left glowing! Her massage therapist gave her a really relaxing experience. I would come back here again next time I'm in San Diego! Thanks for a lovely spa day! Parking: there is a free parking spot out for clients If the parking spot is taken there is plenty of metered street parking around the area. read more

I attended the spa event- glow in full bloom. Deb did the mini chemical peel for me and she was fantastic. She was very gentle and did a great job explaining what each product was and how it works. The spa was very clean and cute! Would definitely recommend it to anyone- great service! read more

Been here off and on, had the monthly plan (save a bunch if you commit to 1 massage per month. Just signed up for it again. Real professionals here. Massages are great. They have an intake form where you can indicate how hard you want it, what's troubling you, and a body where you can circle where you need the most attention, which is really nice because so many massage places you just show up and they start working on you without that intel. Friendly staff, clean location, always a good time. read more

I've been there for a massage and also an official excellent products and care but a little too pricey for my wallet.

Love this day spa! I have a monthly membership and get an amazing massage from Annette each time! Annette is so wonderful, I feel rejuvenated every time! Join and enjoy! read more

Service was good. A little pricey for my budget. I personally did not like the location. I had to park 3 or 4 blocks away. If you don't mind the parking situation it is a good place to go for good service. read more

This review is years overdue! I've been getting regular massages from Kate for the past 3-4 years, and it's something I really look forward to each month. Not only is she an incredible massage therapist, but she has such a kind, friendly spirit that's wonderful to be around. Over the years I've gotten facials or massages with several of the practitioners at Firefly, and every single one has been fantastic. You really can't go wrong here! read more

I've added on a service at Firefly: Lashes by Debbie. I get classics and they're perfect every time. Not too much, not too little. I told myself I'd just get them done for the holidays, but I can't stop. It's now July and we're playing around with a hint of purple lashes at the ends. Just enough to keep people guessing. LOVE. Also, parking is *not* that annoying, I take that back. There's plenty of options in the neighborhood. read more

Great experience here. Just got facials with my teen son and it was so nice and relaxing. Deb was great at informing my son what she's doing and what the different cleansers will do since it was his first facial. While with me, she was silent and I appreciate that, I was able to just relax with no small talk. Perfect! The place was super clean, neatly decorated and smelled nice. Coming back with my husband. read more

I had a wonderful facial with Natasha today. I am 77 years old and can honestly say this was the best facial I have had. I will be back for a massage soon. read more

Initially had 1 couples massage scheduled and then decided to also have a facial for significant other. From the beginning, the booking experience was easy, quick and secure. The place is clean, the massage extremely affordable compared to most other spas, and the people working there are beyond professional and great at their craft. I would easily recommend to any of my friends or family and will definitely be a returning customer anytime I'm in San Diego. Stop wasting your time and money and give them a call. A++ service. read more

My husband and I were in San Diego for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. I scheduled a surprise couples massage at Firefly and couldn't be happier with the service we received. We did the hour and a half with cupping and both came out so relaxed and ready to enjoy the rest of our weekend. The place is very clean nicely decorated and there is a lot of goodies in the front. We will definitely schedule here again the next time we are back in SD. We also received a letter from the owner after our visit, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend. read more

Firefly is truly a gem. From the moment I walk in the doors, I immediately feel relaxed and content. The atmosphere is lovely, with nice dim lighting, lovely smells, and calming music. The front desk staff is always so sweet and welcoming. The massages, however, are the thing of dreams. I am teleported straight to heaven as soon as I lay down on that table. I have been a member for about a year now (best decision ever) and getting monthly massages from Kate. She is a masseuse magician with the hands of an angel. I swear she has superpowers. She gives the absolute best massages I have ever had. She is great about asking what areas I want to focus on or where I've been having issues, and she seems to always be able to tell when she finds an area of my body that needs a little extra work. I always leave feeling so incredibly relaxed and refreshed. I honestly cannot recommend Kate or Firefly enough. You will not regret your visit. read more

Never come back here again .Had a Mother's Day gift from my husband, the facial was ok but the massage lady unprofessional she asked me : you never have a body massage before ? just because I didn't understand what she tried to tell me to do in the dark room . And I don't know what kind of massage she did to me but I didn't feel nothing . She touch your skin few minutes and she stopped to do something in the back . read more

This experience was the WORST I have ever had at a spa. The owner was not professional at all and was rude from the very beginning. We ended up canceling a facial and just went with a massage but she insisted we "HAD to pay" for the $160 facial anyways bc we didn't call 3hrs in advance. She kept saying "it's written on the email" she clearly doesn't even know what her own email says. Bottom line* show some CLASS to your paying customers and READ your emails before them out. Know your ma'am .. talking over your customers and telling them what they "HAVE" to do will resolve nothing. read more

Firefly Wellness Day Spa - Do you see a $160 penalty fee for canceling?! Don't try to screw over your customers. - Skin Care Near Me - San Diego, California

Massage was great, surpassed my expectations. Spa was clean and staff was amazing . Definitely coming back and recommending family and friends read more

Hands down (pun intended) best massage I have gotten in a long time! Karen worked on my knotted muscles with such determination, and really focused on my shoulders as I requested. I got a 90 minute massage and it felt like it lasted 2 hours; that is how relaxing it was. It's in brand new, small residential building, right off Washington Street, in N. Mission Hills. Firefly is extremely clean and beautiful. The waiting area and treatment rooms are serene and the whole vibe is great. Can't wait to go back, may try a facial next time. Karen says she does both, and has almost 20 years experience. Glad I walked by and happened upon this hidden gem. read more

This is the best place I've been in San Diego for a massage. Gabriel was phenomenal! My back spasm is non existent after my appointment. I cannot recommend him enough. I also received a facial from Aranza and she did an amazing job. My skin feels great and I'm so relaxed. read more

What a lovely experience! The entire team at Firefly Wellness Day Spa is amazing. I surprised my mom with a couples massage and would definitely come back again. Gabe and Jennie were so kind and accommodating. read more

A mechanic knows where to take his car to get work done, same reason why a massage therapist knows where to get massage. My wife is a massage therapist and has been coming to firefly for some time to get some muscle pain relief, so when she asked me to come with her for a couples massage, i knew i was in for a treat. My wife had surprised me with a valentines day couples package and since i am a mechanic i know nothing about massage, I leave that all up to my wife. We came and after I filled in a quick check in sheet as a new client, i was off to some much needed muscle pain relief. Holly was very thorough and asked me about my problem areas, which has always been my neck and back. My wife suggested i get some cupping; I had never tried it so i was curious about it. It felt strange at first, but Holly had told me that it would feel strange but never painful and she was right, after 60 minutes of massage along with the cupping my neck and my back felt great!!! No wonder my wife comes here all the time. If you have are feeling sore, muscle aches, you must give Firefly a try, you will not regret it. read more

Amazing! My boyfriend and I went for a late valentines date on 2/22/22 of all days! We got lucky and went on a day where Firefly was having free upgrades on their massages (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I was told). That was definitely a nice surprise! I'll definitely recommend to friends and come back for another treatment! read more

My husband and I both decided to get facials in preparation of our first baby coming soon, and decided to give this place a call. They were on point with reminders about the appointment (I'm very forgetful) and had great service from the start. we love the privacy they give, and how they don't force you into getting anything you don't want or need. Alley was amazing, and didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had during the facial. Even my husband fell asleep during his! Will definitely come back again, for a facial, massage or their other services. read more

After being in quarantine for three months and stressed out, I was in need of a massage ASAP. I was looking though Yelp and I found this place, it did not disappoint at all. The spa is very clean, smells so good as they have diffusers thought out the spa and my massage was awesome. Holly was my masseuse, she did a great job targeting my shoulders, neck and back. I decided to go with a medium/deep massage and I feel much better now. Will definitely come back! read more

My husband and I both love this place. It's a clean facility and the massage therapists are extremely professional. Unlike many other massage chains, Firefly is not just about a basic massage - they really customize and focus your massage on your needs and health goals. If you are hoping to work through pain or injury, or just hoping to truly relax, this is the place to go. read more

I booked a last minute appointment with Monica because I had so much tension in my neck and shoulders. She was amazing and really got deep into my knots. Thank you so much! read more

Tammy my massage therapist was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, kind and very helpful. Prior to our session she made sure my questions were answered. I appreciated her check ins to make sure I was comfortable with pressure. From the moment I walked into Firefly Wellness I knew I was going to have a great experience. Your shop is clean, modern, cozy, and smelled amazing. I would highly recommend your services to any of my family or close friends. Looking forward to joining your massage membership :) read more

I was never really the kind of person that gets massages regularly, but Firefly has converted me! Their monthly membership is a totally reasonable price and the regular massages have helped release a lot of chronic tension from my neck / shoulders. I've gotten massages from Andre and Holly, who are both incredibly skilled massage therapists and can really sense what your body needs. Firefly is definitely worth checking out if you want a quality, reasonably priced massage! read more

I've had a rough week and getting a massage at Firefly was absolutely what I needed. Very professionally done, but more importantly it felt great. Great service. When I'm back in town I'll definitely come back. I highly recommend it. read more

I've been going to Karen for facials for over a year now and have never been happier with how my skin looks and feels. She is patient and knowledgeable when it comes to the right procedure for your skin type so I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin. I also go to Karen for massages and always leave feeling so relaxed. The new space in Mission Hills is the perfect place to come for massage services or facials. I always look forward to my appointments at Firefly. read more

The manager is very rude and UNPROFESSIONAL!! We had to cancel our appointments and reschedule for a later time due to traffic on the way to the spa. When we called we were told that we called right on time, before we would be charged a cancellation fee. Upon arrival, two of the employees called their manager only to have her be rude, speak over me, and demand that we pay for a service we did not receive. I get that times are tough but maybe they should be more understanding and they won't lose potential customers. read more

My SO and I have had great experiences at Firefly. We get the 60-minute couples' massages. The space is cozy, intimate and well decorated. Karen is very thoughtful in appointments and follow-ups. I've gotten amazing deep tissue massages both times, one from Alfredo and another from Holly. They were thorough, skilled (found all my knots and tight spots) and I really appreciate that they used the full 60 min for the massage. Left feeling super relaxed with looser muscles. Definitely would recommend! read more

Such a cute place!! I got a massage with Tammy and she did a great job! I have a few complicated areas because of spinal deformities and she did a great job getting them to relax. Super pleased and will be back! read more

Just had to share how great my experience was at Firefly Wellness Day Spa!!! I was a little anxious to be out during the pandemic but the ladies working took every single precaution to keep the spa perfectly sanitized, even sanitized the pen before and after I used it, so I felt so safe! On top of that, the esthetician Alley, was so knowledgeable and talked me through my leg wax and how to keep my skin healthy. Can't get over how great it was!! I will definitely be going back for other services! Thank you Alley and Firefly Wellness Day Spa for making this such a great experience! read more

I've had facials here before but booked a couples massage with my husband for Valentines day. Karen and Andre were amazing! It was the most relaxing massage I've ever had. We'll probably be booking these more often! read more

Very clean and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean and very zen. I love deep tissue massages and cupping. I suggest asking for Holly B.!!! She's amazing, and she puts a lot of emphasis on the areas you really need deep massage on! read more

The ambiance is fantastic. Relaxation starts as soon as you walk through the door. Registration was simple. Got a couples massage same day while on vacation. read more

I took my MIL there for Mother's Day and treated myself. We both had amazing service and treatments. My treatment provider was Andre. I had a referral from a friend that had a massage from him prior and she raves about him. I am normally modest and prefer female providers, but he was the only provider available so I went for it. He was so professional and amazingly talented I am so glad I went with him. He made my Mother's Day extra special with one of the most amazing massages I've had in my life. Thank u Andre I will be back! read more

It was my first massage ever and it met all my expectations and more! Andre was awesome!! It felt incredible!

I have been getting massages from Karen for over 10 years now and she is by far the best masseuse. She is very knowledgeable and has great technique with deep tissue massage. She's also helped to work out a lot of trigger points that I have in my back and neck. Karen is great! read more

I have chronic headaches from tight shoulders and neck due to having a vision impairment and Kate at Firefly has been able to help me a lot. She's very professional, highly skilled and always makes me feel comfortable and welcome. I also enjoy the ambience of the lobby and treatment rooms. It's very clean, cozy and aesthetically pleasing. The owner, Karen, is also very pleasant to interact with and I appreciate her willingness to work with me when I needed to pause my membership. The cost is very reasonable especially when you consider the top quality services you'll receive. I can't recommend enough if you are experiencing any pain or just want a relaxing massage. read more
