    We booked a couples massage in advance. Staff was friendly during our visit on a Saturday evening. The couples room had simple decor, with a vase of lovely flowers and even a sofa inside the space. It was slightly stuffy in there, but it wasn't problematic for me. And gentle music played in the background during our session. My masseuse definitely found and treated my knots and applied effective technique to help loosen up the tension in my muscles. And the pressure was STRONG, borderline painful, but I like that I got what I requested and paid for, the deepest deep tissue massage I've ever gotten. The best shin massage I ever had too, even if that part was brief. If you're looking for a true deep tissue treatment, this place delivers!

    New address: 20812 baker rd Castro valley (Right begin the old location) The receptionist was kind and patient with my mom.

    I was looking through Yelp for a local massage place that did deep tissue massage because I was having sciatica issues and muscle tightness in my neck and shoulder area. I also scheduled directly through Yelp which made it convenient. Check in was quick, pay up front for your service, and slight discount for paying with cash. Onto to massage... my massages therapist, was professional, asking me what my issues were and what I wanted to focus on. Also checking in briefly, throughout the service, as to the pressure. A little warning, I'm use to deep tissue massage so there is some pain expected but parts around my sciatica were quite painful. She definitely got in there and worked the muscles, did some acupressure and used hot stones. A few times I had to really breathe through it. (she did check in at each of these times and I reassured her I was ok. I know there are kinks that need to be worked through) That being said, my sciatica was 90% better after leaving and gone the next day. So if you are looking for a "healing massage" I would recommend this place. No frills but good massage. The room was small but neat and clean. Bed and linens were comfortable. They also have a parking lot for convenience. I'll be coming back.

    I have been visiting Health Day Spa usually once a week for about five years…read more My go to person lately is Susan. She provides exactly the massage I request. Swedish massage, medium, not too hard. Most massage spas offer soft, medium, or hard pressures. I prefer soft to medium. That's exactly what I ask with Susan and that is what I receive. If you want a hard deep tissue massage, I'd recommend Carmen. She's very experienced and knows exactly where your pain or discomfort is, and believe me, she will definitely get your pain out. Depending on your pain, depends on how much pressure Carmen will put on you. Two different times, Jenny (the owner) performed Thai massages on me. She does not offer that massage. She only performed Thai massage because I have been going there for years. Omg, that was so painful. However, when I walked out, my body was like jello. At that time, I didn't live far away. I was able to drive home and fell right to sleep, waking up totally refreshed. Today, Susan worked on me. I always get a 90 minute massage, which costs $98, plus I give 25 to $30 tip. That's just me. My tip is giving extra thanks. Today, though, I caught myself snoring twice. I love Health Day Spa. It's dark, always quiet unless a guest is talking loud. There's soft relaxing music playing. As I have mentioned before, everyone that works there does not speak English well. I suggest you speak slowly and clearly, or use your Google translator, as I do. Jenny, Bill, and maybe a couple other employees will understand English. I have also mentioned, if you want a happy ending, go somewhere else. Health Day Spa is 100% legit, with trained massage therapists.

It hurt so good. Lol. My feet felt happy and refresh. The guy that did my massage did an amazing job. He didn't introduce himself so I didn't get his name. Barely talk and just did what he needed to do. I might try the body next time, need some more work on my shoulder.

I was confused why my lady wasn't doing a Swedish massage but I let it go. I wasn't in the mood to say something. They were giggling and whispering loud throughout the session. When we're done it was time for us to leave and we gave them cash tip. The lady who I tipped raised her voice on me and demanded more. I told her that's all I had. She gave me the worst attitude and stormed off. Please do yourself a favor, there are better and professional places than this. To me it felt like they don't care about the service they provide for their clients but focused on the money. It seems like a lot of people experienced bad service here. Also the lady who stood on me for my massage was a big back so I had difficulty breathing at some parts of the massage. And she was the one who kept talking and laughing during my service and had the audacity to pop off on me for not giving her more tip. Ridiculous.

    This was a life changing experience. I never had a massage before (which I'm not beating myself up…read morefor) and have dealt with awful lower back pain for years after I had my youngest son. I had my first ever massage with Tiffanie and yall.... No pain. After it was done, I couldn't believe how easy it was to get up and put my pants on. No pain, no stiffness. She has miracle hands. Like frfr. I'll be going back even if my back pain is gone permanently because the experience was just that amazing. I was so nervous at first, a bit insecure and not really knowing what to expect but Tiffanie was so kind and inviting. There was no judgement. She gave me clear instructions and made sure I was comfortable with everything. She also talked to me about the importance of taking care of myself and even advised on other things we can do for next time - like acupuncture and waxing (for my facial hair). And her music playlist is on point! Thank you to my mans for making me go for Mother's Day and thank you, Tiffanie, for your healing hands.

I almost always have to tell massage therapists to adjust pressure but Tiffanie's was perfect from the get go. I feel like she truly understands the art and science of massage therapy, especially given how insanely tense my shoulders have been. We shared several laughs about just how incredibly tense my shoulders were and she worked her magic. I have a ways to go to loosen the months worth of tension in my shoulders but my massage with Tiffanie was exactly what I needed after a stressful few months! I'm trying to incorporate regular massages for my own self care and mental health and I know I'll be coming back to HoHSpa!

And staff wasn't the friendliest when we first entered the lobby. Plus, they make you pay in advance including a $20 tip, which is kinda weird (I'm fine with the tip amount, but requiring customers to pay it in advance is questionable). Fortunately, the masseuses were cordial during our massages in the couples room, and they did a good job delivering a satisfying deep tissue treatment. My bf had the massage table with the bars hanging from the ceiling above, so he got a bit of back walking from his massage therapist. He was satisfied with the pressure and technique. I was all good without the ashiatsu. I loved the strong pressure and my masseuse's ability to find and focus on my knots in my back, shoulders, and legs, using her fingers and elbows.

After the shower, I waited around in the massage room for about 15 minutes as she attended to other clients that entered the business. Finally, she came into my room and tried to explain to me (in broken English) that she was so busy that she wouldn't be able to do the massage(?). Instead, she offered to refund me $20. I told her that I was not in agreement and desired to have the hour-long massage that I had paid for. However, she denied that request, pretended not to understand my English, and refunded me $20. So, basically, I paid $50 for a shower today and didn't get any relief for a very sore lower back. I'll never return to "Chinese Massage" again. I don't recommend that you risk getting played either ;(
