A Beautiful Day Spa Massage Pasadena

Dr Shi is a wizard. No, a fairy. No, a healer. Yes, definitely a healer…read more Although A Beautiful Day Spa is well known for their massage treatments, the well-kept hidden secret is Dr. Shi. Dr. Shi has been practicing acupuncture for decades. Dr. Shi can speak some English, but is fluent in Mandarin. As a patient who speaks some Mandarin, I'm fortunate enough to learn that Dr. Shi travels to give speeches in China and he continues to learn the arts of healing. Dr. Shi is an unorthodox acupuncturist in which his methods are not just sticking needles in your body. He asks your body to change the tendons, the muscles, the bones, the fascia, and even the skin. And yes Dr Shi talks to your body, it's so strange (I know), but he can find where the source of your pain is from and he tries to find the root cause of the pain so he can transform your body. Even if I don't tell him I have pain in a specific area, he will find out after assessing your body. As someone who suffers from multiple injuries, my chronic pain and musculoskeletal problems caused migraines, dizziness and pain with movement. I saw renowned acupuncturists twice to three times a week for three months and my symptoms never improved significantly enough to go about my daily life. I saw Dr. Shi for one month, twice a week and my headaches and dizziness improved right away. My range in motion also increased with less pain. Additionally, my stiffness and deep pain lessened. So why the magic... okay, I get it. You need a concrete example. I have a painful bump in the back of my head, it was about 2inch so not too big, but pressing on it caused migraines and shooting pain down my neck and spine. Dr. Shi placed acupuncture needles in my body, asked me to do some strange movements, and in three sessions the spot was less tender and I no longer have shooting pain down my neck and spine. This was also combined with Western medicine. It's not completely gone because he explained that healing is treatment, time, taking care of yourself, staying warm and moving correctly. I also like the way Dr. Shi inserts and takes out the needles. He prepares your body and gently inserts the needles. If it will be a painful spot, he will guide you on how to lessen the pain for that acupoint. I am excited that the acupuncture clinic will be opened soon. This way, Dr. Shi can help more people.

The front desk staff were understanding and indicated they would let it slide, which I appreciated, as I have not visited your establishment in quite some time. However, I recently noticed an additional $20 charge on my credit card for the double booking. While policies are in place, this is excessive given the circumstances. I'm willing to accept the charge, but I must express my disagreement. I am never going back to your business. To be clear, I was a generous tipper for your staff during my visit, yet that seems to have had no bearing on my overall experience. This has led me to reconsider my loyalty to your business. Numerous alternatives offer similar services, and their customer service is worth considering. You may have lost a long-term customer due to this incident. I hope you take this feedback seriously. Is your business really that desperate for $20?

There is parking on the street on the curb in front of the storefront. It is only a couple of bucks. My first experience with a head spa was in Japan. The experiences were very similar. You are given a silk kimono to wear. After sitting down, you get a full visual of your hair and scalp. Whoever is helping you that day will give you a breakdown of what was seen and what will be done to treat your hair/scalp. The massage and washing of your head/hair is very therapeutic and relaxing. After your session, you revisit your hair/scalp and you can see the changes from a 60 minute treatment. You are also given a cup of yummy tea and a snack if you'd like. Overall, my experience was great. They make an emphasis on feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and i definitely felt that way after. I will definitely be back and recommend it.

I came to Head Spa EN with a long-awaited gift card from my husband, who had raved about this…read moreplace, and had an appointment in the books for midday on a weekend. I've had a Japanese head massage/scalp eval at a different location (different folks completely), and loved it, so I had very high expectations here. All in all - this 60 min experience was a glorified hair wash. Maaaaybe about 20 min in the middle was a really wonderful scalp massage, but it was pretty much just A TON of rinsing out my hair. Back and forth, a shampoo, steaming, rinse with this and that, then rinse rinse rinse rinse. The massage was so nice - and brief in the scheme of things - and then more shampoo (or treatment or something) and rinse rinse rinse. Then rinse rinse rinse rinse with a different technique. My hair is long, not absurdly long, and on the thicker side; I don't know if this was too much? A small thing that also would've been nice is being told what each item or step was; there was an awkward several minute pause in which my hair was "steaming" and I wasn't sure why nothing was going on and had to ask. I had told my masseuse specifically as well that I had a neck spasm, asking if she would work on my neck at all; wasn't sure if that was part of the scalp massage. She said yes and I got a few pats on the traps during the massage. What bothered me the most though, was the somewhat rapid jerking of my head off the bowl for different elements of the shampooing and rinsing - this did NOT help my neck. All in all - on their website on the front page it says "About our spa: deep scalp & neck myofascial release". I just don't feel like this accurately reflects what went on in 60-70% of my hour-long massage, which was, again, a fairly well-marketed hair wash/rinse. With that description - and price ($160 for an hour) - I want a head, scalp, and neck massage, not a hair wash. The studio is very clean and well-kept, with pleasant decor and music.

Worst massage experience I've ever had…read more Before the massage even started, the lady asked for payment $60 for an hour FULL BODY MASSAGE and a TIP upfront. I told her I would tip after the service instead. Right away, the experience went downhill. She told me to lay on my stomach and spent the first 15 minutes just lightly rubbing my back with almost no pressure at all. When I asked her to go harder, she suddenly became too rough and actually hurt me. I got so uncomfortable that I let out a huge sigh. I checked the clock and realized she had only been rubbing my back the entire time. Then she suddenly said another lady would take over. The second lady did better, but she also focused only on my back. My chest was starting to hurt from laying in the same position for so long, so I asked if they were going to massage my head, legs, and arms too since I paid for a FULL BODY massage M. I don't think she understood me because she only massaged my feet for a few minutes and then said, "That's it. Done." The timing was also misleading. They started touching me around 9:05 PM and finished at 9:55 PM !! not even a full hour. I was so frustrated that I just walked out. Then the first lady literally ran after me asking for a tip. I didn't even turn around. Absolutely the worst 55 minutes of my massage experience. I wish I could give a 0 star!

I went to Muscle Lab in Pasadena after needing to recorrect a deep tissue massage that had gone a little too deep in places it shouldn't have, and wow, what an experience. As a first-time visitor, I received half off my treatment, which was such a nice surprise. I booked the myofascial treatment, which included infrared therapy, scraping, and bionic suction cups. All the services were provided by Xandra, and she was phenomenal. She was vibrant, kind, and warm, and she made me feel comfortable and cared for from start to finish. Xandra is incredibly knowledgeable and truly understands body healing. She explained everything in a way that felt personal and empowering, and I could feel the difference immediately after the session. She's definitely someone who knows how to turn a first-time visit into a long-term client relationship. I already booked my second appointment and can't wait to give my body more love at Muscle Lab. They offer so many great treatments and services, and with the holidays coming up, I'm excited to explore more ways to support my recovery and wellness. Highly recommend for anyone seeking real healing and expert care. read more

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of receiving NAD IV therapy administered by Nurse Jessica, and we cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care she provided. From the moment she walked in, Jessica was warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She immediately made us feel comfortable and well-informed, taking the time to explain the process thoroughly and answer all of our questions with patience and clarity. Jessica's gentle and confident approach truly stood out. She was attentive to every detail--constantly checking on our comfort levels, adjusting as needed, and ensuring the IV therapy was administered smoothly. Her calm and kind demeanor helped turn what could have been a clinical experience into a relaxing and even uplifting one. It's rare to find someone who combines medical expertise with genuine compassion the way Jessica does. We left feeling refreshed, cared for, and deeply grateful. We wholeheartedly recommend Nurse Jessica to anyone considering NAD IV therapy. She is a true professional and a blessing to her patients! read more

I am a huge fan of Cryotherapy. I go about three times a month but when I found out that one opened up in my home town pasadena I was so excited. I immediately made an appointment and went it the next day. My mind was blown they had so many different treatments I was in shock. I got the package with 5 treatments and I've never been so happy to find my new spot. First they massaged my legs with the massage therapy gun. After came the relaxing leg compression while I watched the "last dance" on the flat screens. Then came the Cryo chamber and man was that amazing. This place is a must try and you will be a customer for life. Next time I will be trying the Sauna and the Cryo facial. Thank you for opening! read more

My first time to do cryotherapy. I really like this facility. People seem very knowledgeable and definitely were helpful. Everything was clean and professional. I'm going back :-) Edit: So, I wanted to give it a couple days to see how my first Cryotherapy effected my injured shoulder. Let's just say I went back for a second treatment, because the first one was so helpful with swelling and pain. Have seen an Orthopedic Surgeon since and based on my MRI, and it is sounding like surgery a high possibility, unfortunately. Planning on using both Cryotherapy and trying Muscle Lab's Infrared Treatment for better Healing and pain management, as well. read more
