My daughter took me for a late Xmas gift. The peach champagne was delicious with the white chocolates. I have never been walked in the room I would be massaged in without being introduced to my massage therapist, but this was the first. I never actually told her the type of pressure I wanted, but we did X the areas to be worked on on our intake form. I like a very light massage and somehow she did it absolutely perfect my massage therapist from what I could see had short bleach blonde hair and she did a fantastic job. read more

Intermission Spa and Salon - The couples massage room - Massage Near Me - Upland, California

See all

If you are looking to relax in Upland I would 100% recommend Intermission Spa. The outside is deceiving, but once you are in, let the relaxation begin. The staff there is all super skilled and nice, however I love my girl Claudia. Unfortunately I suffer from chronic migraine, so I often visit Claudia for her headache relief massages. In means of price, I feel like Intermission Spa is very reasonable. They also accept Spa Finder gift cards! read more

I discovered Intermission Spa in Upland approximately three months ago. I AM HOOKED. I am a retired certified massage therapist so trust me, I know when a massage therapist is legit! Kristina at Intermission Spa has it all! Positive energy, soothing touch, strength, outstanding technique and she doesn't blab during your session. I have been to Intermission Spa at least eight times in the past three months and Kristina has not let me down once. She is professional and so very kind! Intermission Spa is a winner. The only blemish is the location. The facility is adjacent to the railroad tracks. When the train passes it sounds like it is coming through the wall however I still rate them at 5 Stars because of Kristina's outstanding service! read more

I often send Mrs. Yelper to Intermission Spa, and thankfully they helped her heal from some stubborn long-time aches. Those aches are a real problem when you have to do what she does--clean operating rooms. Natasha gives us (well me indirectly) a Swedish Massage, and expertly so. This is not your typical strip mall massage place...they are the utmost in professional expertise. Especially Natasha! Mrs. AND Mr. Yelper approved. read more

I went here a couple weeks ago. I got a couples massage with my friend. This is a nice place . They are remodeling. They offer complementary wine, water, etc. I think I got my massage by the owner. I like his technique. I wanted to go asleep . I definitely need to go back !! read more

Place is adorable. With cozy environment ideal for relaxation and forgetting outer world troubles for a little while. My provider was Natasha, a tall beautiful woman with great massage skills. When I get to the room she was a little rushy. While receiving a massage tried having a conversation with her but her answers where very short. I guess she was having a long day but she was never rude. Maybe staying professional. I will definitely go back and having another session with her. Massage 100% reccomended read more

Claudia and Jose did a wonderful job would totally recommend this spa. My husband and I left feeling great

Thank you Kevin and Natasha for making our anniversary special. From the champagne and chocolates to the relaxing massages; we really enjoyed our time at the spa. read more

My sister gifted my husband and I a couples massage for our anniversary...we were glad they were open on the holiday. The pricing is similar to a Burke Williams but without all the amenities. We arrived right on time to our massage but almost left because we kept ringing the doorbell and no one was coming. We tried calling and still nothing. Finally a few minutes later our masseuse rapidly opened the door, told us to come in but that she had to go. Nobody was in the reception area so we let ourselves in to the waiting area. I helped myself to tea and my husband to some coffee but there were no strawberries or champagne like some of the other couples mentioned just some random wrapped chocolates. The coffee was instant and the tea wasn't that great. One of those wooden tea offerings and a Keurig would be a nice upgrade. We had to wait about 30 minutes passed our massage time for our massage to start. The location seems like an old house and different rooms are the massage rooms but there's no spa like at the larger massage chains. Also, I guess because they were running late we didn't fill out any of the forms and no one asked us if we had any sensitive areas or areas of focus. Everyone was rushing around and not really paying attention to us other than to get the massage done and get us on our way. Usually massage places offer fruit or some water with cucumber slices or something like that. So we were not impressed with the customer service at all but still giving 4 stars bc I loved my massage and my masseuse Laura. I got the whole works, she got the knots out from my neck and worked on every part of my body. I loved the hot stones and the warm wet towels after the foot massage. Her hand massage was great too as well as my face and neck! I love that she used a scented minty spa oil for that portion. It smelled and felt so good. I felt relaxed with her and felt nice after the massage. One last suggestion would be to use a warm oil for the massage instead of cold cream and to position the head rests a little lower as they were a little uncomfortable. Thank you Laura for a great massage! read more

Had our appointment moved an hour later, which I didn't mind. But when we Came in for our appointment there wasn't anyone at the front. We just sat and waited in the front with no one there. Waited and rang the bell and nothing. Even sat down and filled out the form that was there and waited some more and still no one came out to attend us. Really unprofessional and ruined my gfs bday gift read more

This place is amazing! My deep tissue massage was just what I needed to help my back pain!

In the middle of several home improvement projects, our anniversary snuck up on us! On Tuesday I called to make an appointment for a couples massage package for Thursday. Booked the 90 minute couples massage with champagne, chocolates, and a body scrub. I was soooo excited!! Then on our way...there was massive traffic. Police and firefighters had lanes shut down, no real detours, nothing. It took 30 min to get TO the freeway... right as we should have been arriving. Our arrival time is now 30-40 min later than our arrival. I'm panicking. I'm angry. Hubby calls and they assured us they would take care of us. And indeed they did!! Gloria and Rachel did our massages and when I tell you it was in the top 3 I've ever had?! Wow. The couples massage area was so nice. Very romantic! I loved every minute of my time and wish we could've been able to do the body scrub but all in all the experience was LOVELY! read more

My hubs and I got the couples' spa treatment with champagne and chocolates. We also got a 2 hour treatment which included a foot massage. We arrived at a quiet part of Upland, and walked in a small building that says La Bella outside, and apparently Intermission and La Bella are one and the same! A bit confusing, but a friendly lady pushed the door to let us in and assured us we're in the right place. They made us fill out patient intake forms asking about illnesses or pain or previous injuries, and to draw on a vitruvian man (lol) body diagram where we have pain in our body/or any areas that need to be avoided. Good. I had none, but did have some stiffness in my shoulders. When that was squared away, we were invited to a lounge area with cozy seating, a fake but warm fireplace, and sparkling drinks, Godiva chocolate truffles, strawberries. Barely 3 mins in, 2 females walked in and told us we could bring our drinks upstairs. We went upstairs to a room with two massage beds & asked if we've done had massages done before. I have but kept my panties on this time because my husband was feeling like a prude and did not want to strip down at all (crazy ole coot) so i told him to at least keep the undies & i will too. The massage itself was more like a swedish massage with a lot of pushing and stretching, plus the hot stones (i mean HOT stones!) - which my masseuse Asha would be quick to ask me if i flinch if its too hot and remove it when I reply in the affirmative. The combination of the massage and stones is alright, but I felt like Asha missed a few moves on my right leg - so it wasnt stretched or balanced out with the left. Also for some reason my lower back hurt and i wish she couldve done more for the lower back but she just sort of avoided that area altogether. My peg for a good massage is whether i feel refreshed and stretched afterwards that i just want to sleep. I've had a lady who did home visits and did swedish-shiatsu combo massages and climbed up on the bed and really worked out all my muscles and stretched my body and limbs this way and that way. It cost me 10% what i pay for an American massage - then again, this was in the philippines 10 years ago. Still, that is my gold standard of massages. To compare, the massages in Rowland Hts and asian areas are slightly too rough for me (& still isnt enough to satisfy me). All others from froufrou spas are too soft. I've yet to find a good place to get a massage in the US. Finally, my 2 hour massage was over. They had these nice mint smelling oils that they rubbed on the temples - or the nape? i forget. It was a good experience, but I may be inclined to only come when I want a lighter massage. Lastly, if you want to use a Groupon, apparently you need to schedule way in advance because they only have certain slots for Groupon holders per week or so, but they will accomodate you if you purchase the service directly through them (since they price-match). tl;dr: the massage feels like BDSM with the hot stones feeling like dripping wax on your skin, coupled with the very mild swedish massage that doesnt feel quite so complete. they have tons of extras (great ambiance, sounds, romantic lounges, champagne and chocolates) but could be better if they improved the quality of the actual massage. I'm all for supporting local businesses but I feel like I dont need fluffy pillows and the extra things, I want the actual massage to be a little better! There just wasnt really any chance for feedback during the massage. read more

I love this spot! I have been coming here for years. I highly recommend, whether you want to get the couples massage or a single massage. It is the best! everyone is so nice and they make you feel so welcome and comfortable if you just want a day spa to yourself or you want to Plan a girls day with your best friend. It's the best place to be. They have great and affordable prices! All the services I have gotten I am happy with I always leave filling relaxed and energized. I have gotten a facial I have gotten massages. I have tried out their sauna I have gotten a body scrub. It is definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend!! read more

Ok so I finally got around to looking for a spot using spa finder since I got a gift cards at year and I sort of walked into chaos. I called, no one answered. I got a text message right after with "TEXT". Ok, odd. I relied with wanting a massage. They stated 430. I said ok. I get here at 430 and no one knew who i was or who texted me. Smh. I guess there was an event being held there and they seemed very overwhelmed. One lady offered to give me a complimentary foot massage while I wait since the girl that does the type of package I wanted wasn't ready for me until 40 minutes later. I figured a free foot massage wouldn't hurt while I wait. I would just tip the girl that did it. They even offered me champagne and a slice of pizza! (From the event) lol sweet! When I walked I to my room it was so relaxing!! They had the tv on with meditation type music and views of the ocean. Loved it! They gave me wine and Chocolates. First they gave me that foot scrub complementary and it was very much needed. After that I got the phone the package which is a neck and shoulder and upper back massage with a facial. I love the aura five here it was amazing I was so relaxed. I can't wait to go back with my husband! They need any price Groupon included! They also do group events so that should be fun for a girls dayl yay read more

Don't let the exterior of the place fool you. The inside is very tastefully done to create awesome spa vibes. The couples massage area was equally as great -- from the waiting room to the chocolates and champagne to the large couples massage room. My husband and I both got fantastic massages. Jasmine had amazing technique and even stretched me. My husband said Natasha also had fantastic technique and took the time to really ensure he had an amazing massage experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Love this place! This is our go to place for couples massage whenever we are in SoCal. Kevin and Natasha are super nice and accommodating. We scheduled a couples massage this pass Saturday and we were running late due to having dinner with relatives and celebrating a birthday in Glendale and they still accommodated us. That couples massage was awesome especially after a 7 hours drive. read more

Well what's a girl to do after nearly 7 hours of taking down over 300+ braids... well she comes here for a massage that's what she DOES!! My wrists, fingers and neck were sore. Looked up the most recent reviews for this location and since it is close to home thought I would give it ago... it's been YEARS! i'm saying YEARS! since I last darkened their door step. I remember that the air conditioning in here was atrocious during a massage and I never came back. Location has a new owner and the 'mood' has been transformed for the Spa side. The waiting room is a real lounge offering either water of Champagne. Unlike the other massage locales they choose to have monitors that show revolving relaxing slides with the music in the rooms. Here is my recommendation choose chillax zen music. A monitor omits light and when you are trying to relax you don't want bright lights in there. Air conditioning still isn't the best but it wasn't unbearable. The staff was nice and accommodating my massage ran a bit behind (like 30 minutes) but they kept me apprised and allowed me more time once it began and for some reason my Masseuse kept getting *twice* interrupted (I think I actually had the Manager) he apologized and gave me the 90 minutes that I had originally requested. Since I had mentioned my arms and fingers were sore he took extra special attention and it really helped. I didn't hear any trains... didn't feel any either. I came home relaxed and was able to get a good nights rest, something that I haven't been able to get since my world turned upside down last January. Respectfully Reviewed read more

I recently booked a much needed same day massage and did not do my homework on this spa. I was not satisfied with much of anything aside from some relief I had following the massage. Here are my takeaways that others should consider before booking any services: 1.) The location is oddly placed nearby train tracks and you can literally hear the train rolling through (not relaxing). 2.) The aesthetics are very poor and the lighting and signage from the outside are poor. 3.) Upon entering there was no greeting from the two women seated at the reception area. They spoke to each other in Russian and handed me a clip board. 4.) The massage therapist was the owner who is a nice man but he breathed quite heavy the entire session and I may have felt a sweat bead from his forehead hit my skin. 5.) I let him know how the receptionist could be more welcoming and he merely chuckled. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment. It simply misses all of the important points when it comes to customer experience and engagement. read more

PLEASE BEWARE THIS PLACE! This was my first visit with two friends. We purchased a group package that would offer us a 30 minute massage and 30 minutes of their spa services. They led us up to our rooms, where two of us would receive a massage in the same room and the other member of our group received a solo massage. This was merely due to space, nothing more. Well, the time flies and the next thing you know, we were given an hourlong massage. When it comes time to pay, the man at the front desk (who I assume is the owner alongside what appears to be his wife) realizes that there has been a mistake. Our group had received an hour massage as opposed to the 30 minute massage we had paid for. THEY DEMANDED WE PAY THE DIFFERENCE, WHICH CAME OUT TO $90. How is that the customer's fault? We did not know that is the service we were given because we assumed we were being given the service we paid for. Were we supposed to keep track of the time while we were receiving a massage? They saw three young women, we had told them this was our first massage ever earlier so they knew we were inexperienced in this situation and made us pay the difference FOR THEIR MISTAKE. Accidents happen. I worked in food-service many years. Never would we expect the customer to pay for something they did not order. HORRIBLE. I understand that businesses like this spa are not supposed to be open during this time, but we wanted to support local businesses. What a huge mistake. Why? When we arrived, NO ONE was wearing a mask. I received this service today, January 13, at 5 p.m. We are still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. Regardless of how you personally feel about masks, COVID-19 is currently a public health issue and has proven to be dangerous. To not wear a mask inside a small space for the sake of your customers is incredibly lazy and dangerous. PLEASE TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. THESE PEOPLE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF US IN ORDER TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. read more

Surprised my daughter with a spa day for her birthday. My other daughter & her BF joined. Intermission spa did NOT disappoint! From making the reservation with Kevin to arriving at the location!! They sent a confirmation that same day to assure we were still good for our appointment. They were very helpful & responded back immediately with all my questions!! Overall, super happy with the service they provided. The ladies who helped us were super friendly & my girls had a fantastic massage!! Definitely returning with my hubby for couple massage. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Intermission Spa last weekend. I booked a "couple massage" for my daughter and myself. We were quickly checked in and taken back to a relaxing room to enjoy champagne and chocolates. From there were were escorted to our massage room that was equally tranquil. Both of our masseuses were wonderful. I will absolutely return. read more

Threw my niece her bachelorette there and used the lounge area. Super clean and professional. Honestly the best massage I have ever gotten. Kevin and Natasha are the best and went above and beyond for our event and couldn't have asked for a better place. Will definitely be returning for future services. They have a forever costumer now. Thank you intermission spa for making my nieces day so special read more

What a hidden little gem! I was referred here by a friend who had the couples massage (along with chocolate covered strawberries and champagne) and told me About their experience. It sounded really nice and I love supporting mom and pops so I gave it a try :) I was greeted by a woman at the front desk who was super nice and helpful and checked me in for my services. The time came for my first appointment, a full body wax. Rose came and brought me to my room me feel very warm and comfortable. Rose talked to me Throughout the entire waxing making me feel like an old friend rather than a stranger. She gave me a very thorough waxing and was very fast without feeling rushed. She even got all those pesky little hairs with some tweezers. Very nice!! Next she provided me with a cozy robe and brought me to the shower so I could rinse off and prep for my next service. Gloria came to greet me for my one hour massage which I was super excited for! Much needed! She was very professional. Her energy was great and her hands applied just the right amount of pressure. I didn't even have to request any changes throughout the massage. I felt so calm and relaxed afterwards. This place is awesome. It's VERY clean, warm and inviting. Everyone is so kind and friendly with awesome customer service. I 100% am coming back, and next time with a friend. Don't forget to ask for a tour! The place is huge! They have so many cool services. A one stop shop? Haha read more

Highly highly recommended!!! My fiancée and I had an amazing time here! The massage was amazing and really hit all the stress spots in my body! Not to mention the stone therapy, essential oils, and scrub were a heavenly combination!! Please give them a try! We did a Groupon and booked with Laurelle who gave amazing service!! We'll definitely be back again! Ohh and one last thing, they provide you with champagne and chocolates while you wait !! read more

I booked a couples massage for my boyfriend's birthday. We just left and are feeling GOOD! From greeting until leaving, it was a spectacular experience. Checking in was pleasant and welcoming, being greeted by the friendly staff at the front desk. The form to fill out allows the client to indicate spots to stay away from, as well as areas that need a little extra attention. After checking in, we enjoyed champagne in the very lovely sitting room. There were trays of chocolate candy to nibble on with the champs. After 15 minutes or so, we were escorted upstairs for our massages. Elaina worked on the boyfriend and he said she was amazing. Kevin worked on me and it was awesome. He did this stretch/massage/ pressure point maneuver on my hip that was "life changing" (the exact words that fell out of my mouth after he did it!). Upon leaving, their daughter (lovely, charming girl!) brought us water. We did not feel rushed out, maintaining the relaxing experience. This isn't the local $20 for hour massage place, but it was well worth the indulgence. I will be back. Soon! read more

My massage was absolutely wonderful. They focus on the areas I asked for. I will most likely return.

Natasha is the absolute best, love her! I recommend this spa to everyone 10x ... super clean & pleasant. Very relaxing environment

I am excited to go here after reading the amazing reviews. I also like the owner's replies to the few negative reviews. If people have mask issues and are in fear of a virus they should stay home and refrain from publishing their opinion on Yelp and hurting small businesses. read more

What a great experience my husband and I had while visiting la Bella spa . Our massage therapist were Jazmin and Elena ... I have to say jazmin was one of the best massage therapists and I have had a lot of massages . She paid attention to detailed from a warm towel on my back to hot stones and even wrapping my feet with hot towels . I was never left cold or uncovered without the sheet. Very professional and so friendly.. highly recommend! The only down side is that the front desk didn't have change and I wanted to leave more of a tip . I will definitely be back read more

I am shocked that this place is getting high ratings.. . I have been getting massages for 14 years very regularly. But my Massage Envy just is so busy I could not get a quick appointment. I had a pinched nerve in my neck and thought I'd try it Intermission Spa.. since they had openings. When I arrived I rang the bell, that is fine, no problem then 3 people came out looking shocked I was there. Kevin is the owner, he was not the original therapist was was booked with (Natasha) but he took over for his wife. the sheet was very loose, as in he didnt keep it placed well when I was facing on top. I personally thought it odd. Also he explained they stayed open during Covid by putting a back door so people could come in back. No-one wore masks, and I thought well maybe they all got the vax, but that was not true, he said they didn't and won't .. he explained to me a story about his mom, reaction to the fax. I had a bad vibe there. I am not an over sensitive person, so this is true and not an over reaction. It might be ok, for those new to the experience of massage, but to me this place likes to bend the rules, its not clean, and I felt as if they would bend the rules further if given the opportunity. Things need to get cleaner, tighter both in service and in speaking. Make people feel more welcome read more

Had a couples massage for valentines weekend and so glad me and my boyfriend stopped here! Was such a great experience! It was so relaxing I came out feeling like I can do back flips and cart wheels. Customer service was AMAZING everyone was so friendly. The two masseuses were so kind and made us feel comfortable the whole way through. It was a beautiful homey romantic environment and I really can't wait to go back! Thank you guys so much. I would 1000/10 love to bring my family here to do a girls night with mom and sister or recommend to any couples who want a relaxing romantic date. Also another thing it was very CLEAN read more

My boyfriend took me here on a Saturday morning for a couples massage. I have never had a professional massage before so I was a little nervous. We checked in and filled out some paperwork. We then got directed to a back room while we waited. They offered us water or champagne. We only waited about 10 minutes when they instructed us up some stairs into a big room. The room had a very good vibe to it. It was playing soft music and had the lights dimmed. The 2 women were very friendly and instructed us to remove our clothing (they did advise to only remove what we feel comfortable with) and once removed go on the tables under the covers. I was nervous at first but once the massage started I got more comfortable. We got an hour massage and I wish we would have gotten longer. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back. read more

The massage itself was nice. What I didn't like was how slimy the manager was. I originally found this place from Groupon with its couples massage offer. I decided to call before I purchased it because I had a specific date in mind. The manager said she would match the price on Groupon (cut out the middle man) and even offered an additional $5 off! I was set after that and was really happy with our conversation. The place itself was in an odd little nook in the corner of Upland. They offered us champagne and chocolates which was nice. My masseuse (Sarah? Michelle?) did not know what medium pressure was. It was often way too light. I typically lie more on the light/medium pressure, so this is really saying something. I figured she was new, but she was in fact one of the more senior people. I would avoid her if you're looking for any pressure at all but if you're new she might be good. In the end when we went to pay we were quoted the FULL PRICE, not the Groupon price. I insisted that that was not what I was quoted to the person behind the front desk. He went back to talk to the manager, who stood her ground and told him we were supposed to pay full price. She didn't even come up to talk to us. Maybe she forgot our conversation, but our call was less than 24 hours before the appointment (I called the night before). So just a warning to all the Yelpers: stay on the safe side and buy the Groupon, no matter what the manager says! read more

Amazing!! my expression from walking out of a great massage. Went in for a couple massage, bath scrub and foot massage. My body was lifted after this experience. I was dealing with alot of pain in my shoulders and arms and Natasha helped with her deep tissue massage. I'm so relieved and I'll definitely be back for another massage. THANK YOU! read more

Great way to spend my birthday! A champagne toast, fresh fruits and delicious milk chocolate to start the evening.. followed by a lovely massage. They ask which areas you need work in, how the pressure is, if you want to add hot stones.. etc. Great massage, great attitudes, great service. Instead of looking on Groupon, call and ask what their deals are. read more

As a belated Mother's Day gift I brought my mom & mom in law here this weekend. I'll admit I was a little skeptical because of the reviews. (The reviews on Groupon were better). The massage & facials were great! I felt relaxed and calm and the young lady who massaged me seemed very experienced. I asked her to go lightly and she did. Got a full body Swedish style massage. LOVED IT ! It was the moms' first facial so I asked the young lady to walk my mom through it and she did. They were extremely amiable and friendly. The place itself has a nice set up. Some areas seem more updated than the others, but over all it was a relaxing environment with soft music, very quiet and soothing. The ladies would speak lightly to not disrupt the rest of us. We were in what I want to call a suite where it was 2 large connected rooms with a door open between them. 2 beds per room. They serve you champagne (yum) and strawberries and store bought mini cupcakes while you wait. Which was cute but a little bit tacky in the way they did it. Would've been nicer they bring out a platter or something instead of a plastic store carton of strawberries without napkins or plates etc... Overall for what I paid i feel it was a great deal & was happy with my experience. They completed the full hour and all the ladies did a wonderful job! The reason why im giving 4 stars is because I found the deal online, and when I called to verify availability the lady told me to go direct with them instead of online, ok no problem. So I make my reservation, for 3 facials for one hour and make my payment. THEN the lady backtracks and tells me she can't do 3 facials at the same time she can do 30 minute massage and 30 minute facials. So since I had already paid I bit the bullet and did a one hour massage so that my moms could get the 1 hour facial each. ALSO when we arrived there, someone at the front desk gave us a form to complete and led us up to the cute waiting room. When we left, there were 2 different people upfront and the gentleman asked me if I already, which I did. And then he asked did I tip, which I also did, o have cash directly to one of the girls. I wasn't bothered too much by that but my mom was, so I felt it was worth mentioning. They could be more organized /professional about that. read more
