Yesterday, I visited Harvard Garden Day Spa with a very sore neck and in need of a high quality relaxing facial. Lesley gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. She's outstanding and listens very carefully to your needs. After my massage, I enjoyed an exceptional facial with Jessica. She's extremely knowledgeable and passionate about our lymphatic system and is a lymphatic specialist as well as massage therapist. My experience was very pleasant and I'm extremely picky. I will definitely return and can highly recommend! read more

This Spa is a dream. Welcoming staff and cozy atmosphere! This establishment offers phenomenal services that more people should know about! Today, I had reserved a 90 minute facial routine that included exfoliation, LED light therapy for collagen stimulation, facial massage for toning and contouring, lymphatic system draining to reduce facial inflammation and improve immunity, followed up with a hydrating mask, neck and head massage. I encourage to book your next appointment with Jessica! She'll provide a sensational spa experience with her treatments, kindness and expertise. read more

My husband bought me a gift certificate and I got a massage/facial combo for $280 - 90 min body massage and 70 min facial, so that didn't feel too egregious. (And I'm normally someone who does a $40 foot massage.) Leslie and Jessica were wonderful (esp since my first time for a facial). Rooms were comfortable and I had a robe and slippers when I changed room. I really appreciated that though this was a nice, classy day spa, I never felt pressured or like I was dealing with snobby people. Would definitely recommend. read more

I have been coming to Harvard Garden Day Spa for years and have been getting the Gua Sha facial for a few months. This facial treatment truly transforms externally and internally. I have noticed less sagging and fewer fine lines. Jessica is gentle yet firm enough to smooth out and tone my face. This treatment has also had a positive effect on my sinuses. After several treatments, I noticed I was less clogged as fluids drained from the stroking motion. This treatment has not only helped my facial appearance but also helped drain my sinuses. I highly recommend trying this treatment; you won't be disappointed. read more

I am a little late to provide my review but when you have an amazing experience you should share it with people! I had the jelly hydration facial (I think it's called) and wow, was it fabulous. I have extremely dry skin which is totally my fault. I only use soap on it a few times a week and I thought that was a good thing. I don't wear make-up, so I didn't think it was necessary. I was wrong! After feeling the difference between nothing and actual hydration, I will 100% take the steps Jessica recommended to me. For a week I've been exfoliating, hydrating, and moisturizing trying to prolong the benefits of my stellar facial. It was truly sensational. I was relaxed, super comfortable, and my face, hands, arms, and legs felt like a million dollars when it was over. I had no idea I was going to get those parts massaged too!! To anyone looking for a great facial, I highly recommend you give Harvard Garden an opportunity to pamper you. Thank you so much Jessica :) read more

Jessica and Leslie ate fabulous I was very satisfied with my facial and massage I will definitely go back read more

Considering the ratings, I was rather disappointed. The massage therapist seemed rushed and wasn't very welcoming. Although I was supposed to receive a full-body massage, certain areas were skipped. For being on the pricier side, I expected more. Will likely search elsewhere. read more

I've been a client of Harvard Day Spa for over two years. The pricing seems standard for the services. Leslie is a great massage therapist. I usually melt into her table. Jessica, the owner and also an esthetician, always seems to be striving to make her business better. She recently updated the aesthetics, of the interior of the building. It's not "glamorous," but I personally do not feel comfortable if that's the vibe--I'm a casual gal. Jessica is also constantly updating her trainings and skills as esthetician. Recently, I had the Gua Sha facial fusion and it was worth every penny. Previously my face had been feeling not myself/puffy after 3 plus stressful Covid years. A few days after the Gua Sha facial I felt like my face shape returned, fluids had drained, my face felt more relaxed and I've been feeling more like myself. I'll definitely book another Gua Sha facial, and other services offered. Harvard Day Spa is a beautiful, clean and low key spa, that really strives to do the best, and after every appointment I leave feeling that! read more

I was thinking what to get my Daughter-in-law for her birthday. I came up with a day at a spa. I didn't have much time ( I waited until the last minute), so I call Harvard Garden and spoke with Jessica. She was an angel !!!!! I mean this. Lets just say modern technology was not my friend that day, I was having trouble getting the gift certificate through the normal electronic process. Jessica helped me through every step. I won't go into full detail but I will say she went out of her way to help me. She made this electronic nightmare go away, and I was able to get the certificate to take to the party that evening. She could have done what other businesses do, tell me to call on another day, try later, or just send me on my way. She didn't. Customer Service at it's best. I might buy my significant other a gift certificate from this spa just because of how well I was treated when the electronic process didn't work. Jessica found a way to make it happen. I just had to report this, very happy customer !!!! Pepper Salas read more

This was my first time here and I loved it. As soon as you walk in you feel the vibe so calm and welcoming I really loved my facial done by Jessica she's really good and took the time to explain to me the procedure and also the concerns about my skin. I'm definitely coming back. Thanks read more

I went in and Leslie did a fantastic job of giving me a full body deep tissue massage. She initially focused on the pain in right shoulder blade (which bothered me a lot), then she moved on to the rest. She's got the right hands and touch for the job. This was my second time there. My first time was with Jessica, who is also awesome. The environment is very relaxing and professional, and I'd definitely recommend. read more

The best spa ever! I've been booking services here for a few years now & I will continue to. I always leave feeling glowing & refreshed. I've moved out of the area but still drive 30 minutes to get pampered. Jessica is amazing, kind, and very attentive to skin needs. She's always teaching me something new about skin care. The spa is very cute & inviting. Booking an appointment is very easily done online. read more

Leslie is amazing ! Really love this cute massage studio and my massages are always so great and relaxing . Highly recommend Harvard.

Went for a 90 minute deep tissue massage from Marissa and it was uhhhhhhmazing. She was super friendly and really really good at what she does.It's hard to find a place that claims to offer deep tissue massage and then actually backs it up. Super glad I went in. UPDATE: So I recently went back a different masseuse, I believe her name was Leslie, and she she was just as amazing as Marissa. Such a great massage, I felt incredibly better after the massage and she was very nice as well. I love this place. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for when it comes to massages. ‍ read more

Well I have had quite a few massages from Jessica. She is wonderful! The ambiance of the spa is serene and very clean. I went in with a sore back. It feels better and I feel so relaxed. Thank you Jessica. read more

I stopped by here on Saturday for a day of relaxation. I booked a "Hot Stuff" Package. The moment I stepped in I knew that this was going to be a great experience. I was greeted by Leslie and she mentioned that she will be my masseuse. The Hot Oil Therapeutic Massage I got was out of this world! I almost fell asleep getting the massage. I work out a lot, so there were some knots being taken out, but it wasn't painful like the other places I've gone to. I highly recommend Leslie for When the massage was done I was informed that my esthetician Jessica will be coming in to start on my Oxygenating facial. I really needed this facial because my face gets really dry in winter/spring. The facial was everything!!!! My face felt like it had it's life back, and it was glowing when I left the spa. It's been a few days since the facial and my skin still looks refreshed. I highly recommend Harvard Garden Day Spa for a day of relaxation and pampering! read more

First time visit here & I booked a 90-min deep tissue massage as an after holiday treat for myself. My massage therapist was Leslie and she did not disappoint. I had months of tension stored in my muscles, she wasn't afraid to apply appropriate pressures where needed, hit all the painful spots & sent me home feeling so much better. Very pleased with my first visit! read more

Got this as a bday present for my momma and she loved it! She booked another appointment that same day, thank you for providing some relaxation and relief! read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mother. She got to be a pampered princess for a day! Rachel is the one that did her facial. My mom said Rachel was very nice and did a great job! My mom was beaming after her facial! Quite likely we'll be returning to Harvard Garden Day Spa pretty soon! Definitely worth a try. FYI - parking is on the street - don't even attempt to park in the parking lot behind the building. read more

Small and unassuming spa. Tasteful decor and very clean. I've experienced the foot reflexology and a facial here. Never rushed and friendly service. Was knowledgeable but loved that they weren't aggressive in pushing the skin care line. I will be back. read more

I love this spa. It's just perfect. The location is easy to get to, and it's on a very calm and beautiful tree lined street. The spa is a very cozy and beautiful place, and it's very calming and inviting. The therapists are down to earth and offer a very gentle approach to helping with stress aches and pains. The therapeutic massage is wonderful. Overall I highly recommend this cute beautiful spa. Go on! Book an appointment and start pampering yourself! read more

Perfect location very quiet and relaxing Excellent services great massage and facial and the 2 ladies are excellent and a delight I am hooked read more

Not worth the hype! My hubby bought me a package gift certificate for my bday. I initially tried to make an appointment, I could not get one for 2 months! Unfortunately I came down ill and had to RS. ANOTHER 2 month wait of course. Today was the day. I expected a new, opulent facility based on their prices, was surprised to find a tiny converted house behind Wolfe's market with zero parking. The decor was nice, but clearly the home is old. First, I had a facial. I have no real review on that since I am not a huge facial fan. Next up was a 90 minute massage with 20 minute foot massage. She did a lot of superficial rubbing, very little muscle/tissue massage. Did not seem to be a trained masseuse with anatomy knowledge, IMO. Was supposed to be an "aromatherapy massage" - smelled nothing. The absolute shocker came at the end. As I was checking out, the receptionist tells me "The package price has gone up $35 since you purchased this, so you will have to pay the difference". Talk about TACKY. ANY business knows you honor all gift certificates, regardless of any price increases! I complained, and she told me she had to ask to waive it. Glad they did, or their tips would have disappeared. THESE services were not worth $255 in any realm of the imagination. I will be returning to Aromatique down the street - better prices, better facility, better massages. Personally, I have no idea why this place seems to be so popular, but they are overpriced, unprofessional, and the services were MEH. read more

I went for a 60 min deep tissue massage with firm pressure. Marissa was awesome! She easily identified all of the places that I needed the most work. She checked in with me a few times to make sure that I was feeling okay, which I appreciated. After the massage she mentioned a few things that she noticed in our session and gave me some advise on how I can help relieve some tension on a daily basis. I truly left feeling relaxed and well taken care of. If I lived in the area I would absolutely return to Harvard Garden Day Spa for a deep tissue massage or any of their other services. p.s. If you have NOT gotten a deep tissue massage before..just know..they can HURT. The important part is to breathe through the hurt until the muscle relaxes. You will not regret this massage in the weeks that follow! read more

This place impressed me! The facial was so amazing. I loved Jessica. She was great and considerate. Analyzed my skin and gave me tips on keeping it up. I felt refreshed after the facial. Face, head, shoulders, arms and feet massage provided during the facial was also great. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. Already booked my next appointment :) read more

I had the 75-Min. Stress and Pain Management Massage with Leslie and it was probably one the best massages I've had in very long time. The Stress and Pain Management targeted all areas and Leslie was amazing working through all my tension and hitting all my trigger points. She had the perfect amount of pressure for me, med - firm and doubled checked with me to make sure the pressure was good. I felt the perfect balance between relaxation and stress and tension relief. I will definitely come back here for my next massage. read more

I have been a long term client of Jessica's. By long term, I think I been coming here for about 6 years. Jessica is amazing! I have referred all my friends and family to her and they all fell in love with the services. I always purchase the 5 facial package and get facials on a monthly basis. Jessica seriously takes the time to analyze your skin and treat it with what it needs I am spa junkie, I love to relax and skincare, I had many facials in different countries but Jessica by far is the only esthetician that can make my skin glow! Thank you, Jessica, for being awesome! read more

Booked a facial appointment here and I loved it so much! Went in with the intention of getting another facial treatment done but after Jessica's suggestions I'm happy with the results! She was very helpful with my skin concerns (rosacea, acne, oiliness) and i left feeling very relaxed, plus my skin looks great after one facial. Definitely coming back. read more

I had such high hopes for this place given the location and all of the reviews! I was taking a little weekend trip and had an area of congestion on my cheek I wanted extracted so it could hopefully heal in time. I just got a mini facial, I didn't need all the frills just the extractions so I loved that they even offered something like that. Parking is on the street but luckily, it was pretty open. We got started right away, she cleansed my face and got right to the extractions. Like I said, no frills. I noticed her going over the blemishes a few times and then she was done. I was surprised that I hardly felt the extractions and that was great until I realized the congestion was still there. When I went back out to the reception area, I was told that she wasn't able to extract it and that she wasn't really sure how to handle my skin which was really discouraging. I feel like that's something we should have discussed prior to starting. I wish she would have said something during the facial so that I could considered my options but she didn't make that effort. I will say that she offered a $10 discount so that was nice, but I still would have rather not spent $40 just to have my face washed. I booked an appointment the next day for a facial in San Dimas and they were able to take care of my skin without a problem. It seems that this place is for people who already have normal or clear skin and want to enjoy a facial just to relax. If that's the case, I will say the spa is nice and relaxing and Jessica overall is friendly it just wasn't for me! read more

I love this Day Spa! After a rough week of work, I was given a Spa Day as a wonderful treat from my husband. When I first walked in the ambience was calm and I enjoyed my experience here very much. The staff was welcoming and my massage was spot on. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Great massage from no no excellent facials as well. Chill relaxing peacefulness in the spa. Reasonable always have specials every mont. h too. Wonderful Ambience I have to say. Jo jono not no no oops great masseuse read more

Bought the Yelp $50 for $75 deal because I was in dire need of a massage. I'd be back if I could use the same deal! Booking was easy and the place is very clean, cozy, and well-decorated. My only disappointment was the lack of follow-up after the massage; other than telling me to drink a bunch of water, Jessica didn't ask if I was interested in coming back or check-in with me. I guess she assumed I was a poor college student. Easy parking in the Wolfe Market lot (special marked parking in the area closest to the Harvard Garden Day Spa building). read more

I wish I could write a review about the actual facial, but Jessica never showed up! This past weekend was my mom's wedding. I wanted to look my best, so I scheduled an appointment for a facial with Jessica for Thursday at 10 a.m. I got the confirmation email and at 9:45 on Thursday morning, I drove to the spa. Closed sign in the window. Door locked. Lights out. "Okay," I thought. "I'm early... I'll just wait." So I waited. And waited. I knocked, in case someone was in the back. No answer. I called, just in case. No answer. I waited a little longer, my hope sinking and frustration mounting. Finally, I gave up and scheduled elsewhere. At 10:27, I get an e-mail from Jessica apologizing, but offering absolutely no explanation for why she was a no-show. Her apology was, "Sorry for the inconvenience." It was much more than an inconvenience. It was sloppy business and poor customer service. In other news, I scheduled with April at Aromatique and had the best facial of my life. read more

Bought the Yelp $50 for $75 deal because I was in dire need of a massage because of my serious lower back problem, 1. Booking was easy and the place is very clean, cozy, and well-decorated. 2. Jessica my massage therapist - she has magic hands and is a genius, I had a serious lower back problem. I was nervous with the thought of a deep tissue massage given the nature of my condition,however Jessica experience,extensive background, and knowledge of the body, she immediately put me at ease and was so adept at her profession! Jessica clearly has the expertise to treat me in a safe and healing way that has alleviated pressure and pain - and has truly given me back my life. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Jennifer yesterday. She took her time and really focused on making my skin feel wonderful, in addition, she helped my stiff neck, massaged my hands and feet and made me feel great. Can't wait to book another facial there. read more

What a gem! Jo Jo, you worked your magic for this first timer. Thank You! This facility is sweet, clean with a relaxing atmosphere. I couldn't happier with my experience. read more

I went here for a facial and a 30 minute back massage from Jessica. The location is easy to find, plenty of street parking in the shade, and really cute inside. Jessica was finishing up with another client when I arrived, so I chilled out in the nice waiting room, the spa music already helping me to check out. The services were great. The massage really helped me to calm down. The facial was super relaxing. Upon paying the bill, I promptly re-booked. Harvard Garden all the way! read more

i got a groupon deal for this and i knew i'd have a chance to be around the area - so i wanted to give it a try! when i first pulled up, i was a little hesitate because it's basically a residential house - looks like the owner for the lot just decided to turn this residential land into some business? i think i recall seeing a dentist office at the back 'the back house'... after i stepped in though i feel much better, the calming music, the scents and the warm welcome from the girls. the wax was done pretty fast and painless - she tried to make small talks with you too to drive away your attention. would recommend - especially if you see any more deals! read more

This place is too expensive No steam, sauna or jacuzzi and massage not that good. They have a lot of competition with the Asian massage parlors in this area read more

I had my first massage/facial with Jessica today and I must say that she has magical hands. from the moment I walked in I was immediately felt relaxed. My husband is the best for making this appointment I will be back . read more
