I absolutely love the vibe at this spa. From the moment you walk in, the front desk team greets you with a genuine smile, which immediately sets the tone for a relaxing experience. The membership discount is such a great perk and makes it easy to come back regularly. I usually go either by myself for some much needed self care or with a friend, and we book the couples massage. I love that we get a few minutes to chat before and after. The location is perfect too. It is so easy to plan a massage and then grab food nearby to extend the experience. Linda and Judy are my absolute favorites. They are both incredibly skilled, attentive, and consistent. I always leave feeling relaxed and reset. Highly recommend if you are looking for a welcoming, professional spa with a great atmosphere read more

Time for my massage fix and My Beauty Spa never fails. Originally the masseuse I requested changed and I'm glad it did. Ida was very skilled and her massage was very deliberate focusing on stress points but slowly easing out the knots. This resulted in a massage that was very soothing. I got the 90 minute foot reflexology which focuses on whole body massage and foot reflexology. I've never had a bad massage here as each worker is trained and focuses on customer satisfaction. I also appreciate the spacious and very clean facility! read more

I made an appointment same day and was immediately greeted upon arrival. This is always been the experience with the front desk staff here, which is such a nice start to your experience. They have you fill out a form and mark on a diagram where you'd like your massage therapist to focus on and what pressure you'd like. They follow this pretty well and will also take requests during your session. Very good pressure!!! The only downside is that my massage therapist kept the door slightly open which allowed more noise to come in and I was just take aback a bit by the door even being slightly open. Also, the walls are pretty thin so I could hear the guy next to me. They do have music playing which is nice, but the other noises did put a little damper on my experience. Nonetheless, it's so close to me and the massage was sooooo good, I'm coming back again in a few weeks! read more

They were quick and fast to see me. I liked the layout of their rooms and it was very spacious inside. I requested to have a facial with acne extractions. Maybe I just like when they tell me which steps they are doing within the facial, but the esthetician didn't speak much. I also don't really have this much acne when I get a facial done, but the extractions were extremely painful and I'm still experiencing scarring from the extractions sadly. Overall, the massage was nice and definitely felt less tension on my face. I wanted to give this place a try since I live very close by, not sure if I want to go again. read more

This is my first time at this massage place. I'm very particular on the area where I get my massages. The lady name Linda is my masseuse. She did a very good job doing my massage. The ambiences is relaxing, good vibe and good customer service. I highly recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I had a great facial with Fion. Just discovered the place on yelp and called maybe 20 minutes prior to arrival to set a spontaneous appointment and they accommodated me quickly and kindly. I got the classic Facial which included cleansing, extractions, scalp, shoulder, and neck massage, serum and mask that had a 10 minute cooling period where she left the room. The room was really clean and music was calming. I appreciate that she kept checking in. Had a nice combination of hot and cold temperatures, with the massage leaning on the side of more quick, efficient movements. My face looks glowing, and I would highly recommend it as a great value. If I had to be picky, it would only be to say that it would be nicer to have the aesthetician wash the materials after my appointment, not during. But my eyes were closed, I had great service and I was relaxed! I appreciated her technique! She made recommendations on how I should protect my skin the night of the Facial. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone nearby or passing through. read more

I always leave super relaxed. My go to for sure. Amazing pressure each time. I go for about 90 with the cbd.

I had the most amazing experience here. At first, I just went in for a facial but asked if there was any way I could also get a 30 minute massage and they accommodated me right away. Wendy was so amazing. Hands-down, probably the best facial/ massage I've had and woman at the front desk is so sweet. Thank you guys so much. I will definitely be going back. read more

My relationship with this place has developed slowly over time. Just craving a last minute massage to soothe my aching muscles, I happened upon here thru Yelp. Since that time many months or perhaps even a year ago, I have become a member to take advantage of the small discount with each session i book. It's a small $50 fee/yr to get $5-10 off per service. I think salon services may be discounted also but I'm not sure since I haven't done my hair here. Anyways the have a good staff that is large that many times you can find a last minute appointment. And pretty much most of the therapists are good. Some not quite strong enough for me but it decent to ease some delayed onset muscle soreness! Couple the fact they are very clean and neat and you'll feel comfortable with your massage! You can even use the Resy app to book your services in advance while choosing your therapist too! read more

I always ask for Aida,She is the best! She has magic hands firm and slow, I feel amazing every time I left the place. Aida listens all my needs, and try her best to fix all my problems. The place is quiet and clean, the reception girl is sweet and friendly. Sometimes they have promotions, go for those good deals. read more

I've gotten massages here and were good so decided to give a facial try. Bought classic facial since it states: "Cleaning/steaming exfoliation and EXTRACTION, face, neck and shoulder massage, mask and moisture protection..." I told the Wendy, the facial person I mainly want extraction, though, not many. After all was said and done, there was a very long more of neck and shoulder massage and only extraction I got was around my nose, period. Mind you, I came for extraction and facial not a massage, though felt good. After it was finished, I told her I was expecting extraction on my forehead and she said since I got the classic facial and it's only for 60 minutes, w mask, there is no time for the entire face extraction so they only do nose. So next time, do the Sothys facial which is longer (and of course, more expensive.) So.. why doesn't the description say that?? Nose extraction only or partial extraction only.. I have gotten many facials and never ever had this kind of experience where they say extraction but only does nose and does not specifically say that. Nothing against the person who did the facial. She was wonderful. It's just the way it's structured so be warned. If you get a classic facial, you'll get at least 30 mins of massage and little facial. I don't think I'll be coming back here for a facial again. Very disappointed. read more

I get massages from My Beauty Spa every few months. I call the day of when I feel I really need one. They've always been able to accommodate the time I can get in. Most of their masseuses have strong arms. I love it. read more

WHEN: Sat @2pm A friend of mine wanted to celebrate our friend's birthday and he just wanted a haircut (which is down to the bottom of his neck). This place does packages that do both haircuts and massages! Here are some of the CASH DEALS: $35 - Haircut w/Shampoo $65 - Haircut for Two $90 - 60 Min Body + 30 Min Foot Massage $110 - 60 Min Body + Haircut $125 - 90 Min Body + 30 Min Foot Massage $135 - 30 Min Back + Facial $150 - Classic Facial for Two $155 - 60 Min Body + Facial $180 - 90 Min Body for Two My friend and I went for the Haircut + 60 Min Massage Combo. But with just one hair stylist available for our time, we took turns. I started with the haircut while my friend got his massage. HAIRCUT - Leon Although it was a nice shampoo with massage, this was got to be the longest haircut I've ever had. A whole hour, really? It was just 2 inches cut, no styling and at one point I did fall asleep, haha. He did a great job overall, but I'm more used to getting 20 minute haircut. Perhaps my friend who's' a guy had a shorter experience. MASSAGE - Ida Ida did a wonderful job and communicated well. Upon check in, they had us fill out a form and we were able to list what to focus on for the body massage, which I appreciated. We get our own private room, and the piano music sounded like some tune that was played in a loop. I enjoyed it!!!! When I finished my friend had finished getting his haircut, which...didn't looked that much of a difference. But that was his fault for just letting Leo do whatever, so it was just a trim. My friend responded "I'll take what I can get" so oh well. He also said that it was the longest haircut he's had ever! All in all, I'm glad they do cash deals, and would rec to friends. read more

I was pleased to find a salon that uses Sothys products for its facials, and booked an appointment for Friday after work. The staff is not especially friendly. I was shown to a room and left to get ready. Fion (the tech) was having a very loud conversation with coworkers, which I could hear through the wall and door of the room. Not especially relaxing, and the other staff continued talking loudly the whole time. Fion returned and started the facial. She was using a lot of heavy pressure on my face, and I asked her repeatedly to stop. She would lighten up for a minute, and then go right back to it. I actually had her stop completely a couple of times because it was painful, and not doing anything good for my skin. Same thing with the neck and shoulder massage--she used way too much pressure. I asked her to lighten up, and she said that you have to "attack" the tension. I'm a massage therapist, and I know that's completely wrong--you don't attack, you coax the muscles into relaxing before you start the deep work. I had her end the massage because it was painful and stressful. She went to finish the facial, and yes, once again, too much pressure on my face. So I just had her rinse everything off and end the session. A waste of time and money. I will not be returning for another round of expensive and painful treatment. read more

This place always gets 5 stars from me. If I could, would give them 10 stars. Anne is amazing! She did my facial today and it was not only very relaxing and amazing but also she took her time to massage my shoulders and head for a very long time. She truly has magical hands! The front desk is always great. Their level of professionalism is incredible! Anne makes jokes and makes enough! So friendly and professional. read more

I have become a regular customer here! I prefer deep tissue massages that are borderline painful because of all the tension and knots I get that need kneading (no pun intended). I always ask if Fion is available because she remembers the amount of pressure I prefer and it's great to have a familiar therapist for consistently relaxing massages. If you need cupping or guasha aka body scraping, you can add this on as an extra with your massage, which I've made a habit of doing. The staff are all friendly and greet customers with a smile. Shout out to Tina at the front desk! The location is clean, spacious, and I've never had an issue with my reservations on their website. I recommend booking a Saturday morning massage and then walking across the street to the Alameda Farmer's Market for a nice post-massage stroll. read more

Yesterday, I woke up very stiff with some acute pain in my neck, and I decided to book a 90 minute massage with hot stones. I was able to get a same day appointment by booking through their website, which was so convenient! Upon arrival, the spa was clean with pretty decor, and the two front desk attendants were friendly and got me setup in a room very quickly! My masseuse, Linda, was FABULOUS. She completely eased my sore neck, and she loosened up my entire back as well, something I haven't experienced from many other massages. Anyway, long story long, I would highly recommend this spa! I can't wait to try their facials next. read more

I booked a last minute appointment on a Monday evening because my shoulders have been extremely tight for weeks. It was an impromptu self care day! I booked a 1 hr body massage and 1 hr foot massage. The receptionist was super friendly and gave me an option to either have both massages in the same room, or have them in separate rooms. She recommended having them in separate rooms because you get to soak your feet in the foot massage room. The massage service was great, you get to indicate on a piece of paper where to focus more on your body during the massage and what pressure you'd like. I didn't get my masseuse's name but she was very friendly and used medium pressure. They use hot stones during the body massage which was great. The massage table was also heated so I wasn't cold during the duration of my massage. My body feels all nice and loosened up now and I will be returning in the future. read more

I called in for a early bird massage and this receptionist booked me immediately. I was in 5 min after the hour and there was no wait to get started. The rooms were nice and felt separated from the others so you feel a bit more relaxed. The therapist provided a soothing massage but I can't help to notice the music paused and restarted in between the session. That was the last thing I wanted to focus on at that point. As for as the service, it was a decent massage which got me relaxed, but I probably should've asked for deep tissue to target my pain areas/aches I've been having. I am willing to try this place again and look at some of the other spa packages. read more

I was traveling from Michigan to Alameda for my birthday. Not only were these ladies very kind, they did such an amazing job with my massage and facial. My skin is glowing and I haven't had that nagging lower back pain for a week! They give a small discount for paying cash. I would recommend and encourage those thinking about it, to go in. I was impressed with their hospitality and skills. The only notes for improvement are: Noise control. The walls arent sound proof and it's easy to overhear employee "lunch room" conversations. I would work on being clearer about pricing for add ons. But Worth every penny! Sunny did FANTASTIC! read more

I just left a 1.5 hour magical experience with Linda. I absolutely recommend booking the Cash Special. $100 for a 60-min hot stone massage followed by a 30-min foot reflexology massage. All lovely. Beautiful ambiance (sounds, sights, smells). read more

I give this place four and a half stars! If you're a person who used to wish shampoo time at the beauty salon could go on and on because it felt so good, you totally need to try a scalp treatment at My Beauty Spa. There's a 60 minute treatment for men and a 90 minute treatment for women priced at $125. Imagine lying face up on a table in a dimly lit spa room as soft, meditative music plays. At the head of the table is a sink that has a comfortable head rest. Your session starts with a face, neck and shoulder massage. Then the room begins to fill with one amazing scent after another as your therapist (in my case Fion, whom I highly recommend) applies various shampoos, conditioners and proteins to your hair then takes her time luxuriously massaging them in. She uses both her fingers and an actual head massager, and of course, lots of warm water. There is also an upside down u-shaped metal contraption, on the bottom of which are tiny holes aimed at your head. Warm water streams through the holes as the therapist slowly moves the contraption back and forth to cover your whole scalp. Heaven. I can't wait to go back! The facility was clean with pleasant decor, and staff were cordial. The only reason I am taking off half a star is because some people (myself included) have very sensitive skin. I was not aware at the start of the service that a facial massage would be included. It was lovely, but the moisturizer used had a strong scent, which often means people with sensitive skin may react to it. I am lucky that I didn't react to what was used. It is rare that I don't react to perfumes on my face. My suggestion to My Beauty as a massage therapist and former esthetician is that when people call to schedule this service, let them know that a facial massage will be given and ask them whether or not they have any topical allergies. That gives someone with sensitive skin a chance to either forego the facial massage or arrange to bring in their own facial massage product that works for them. All in all, my experience receiving my very first scalp treatment at My Beauty was stellar and highly enjoyable. I will most definitely return. read more

My Beauty Spa - This is the treatment bed. - Eyelash Service Near Me - Alameda, California

We found this place when they first opened and we have been back multiple times since. The place is very clean and quiet. We get a 60 min massage most times. The last time we went really left us feeling that it's better than most spas we've been to. The masseuse really took the time to make our experience great especially for my bf. Most people don't use enough effort to even make a noticeable difference on him but she took time to explain to him and really put in the effort to give him relief. It was the best massage he's ever had. read more

So my husband and I came here on a whim and I'm so glad that we did! It's honestly the best little spot ever! I mean you can obviously tell by the 5 star reviews! So we were walking by and decided to stop in and check it out not even thinking we would get a service but they just so happen to have an opening for two 60 minute foot reflexology appointments! So we decided to get it done and we were not disappointed. I had Ida and she was so sweet! She did such an amazing job I actually fell asleep at one point and that literally never happens! Her pressure was firm yet comforting. Next time I go back I want her to do a full body 90 minute massage because not only do I need one but if she's good at 60 minutes I know she can work wonders with 90 minutes! Can't wait to return. I highly recommend this place! read more

I requested a same day appointment via their online booking platform and there was plenty of options available. I noted in my booking that a female servicer was requested. Within a few minutes of my booking, they noted no females were available for my time, but they were happy to reschedule me that day for when someone was available. I went ahead with a male therapist at my desired time. His name was Mike, and he gave an incredibly thorough massage. Sometimes I feel like massage therapist try to run out the clock, but he really gave what I felt was a thoughtful massage, checking in often to ensure the pressure was okay. The massage helped relieve months of tension and I left feeling very relaxed!! The location was clean, quiet, and the private rooms each played relaxing music. I look forward to my next appointment with Mike! read more

Today I had my first facial. I called at 11:50 and asked if I could come in and they scheduled me for 12:30 classic facial. I was a little late due to trying to find parking because of the farmers market but the staff was understanding. They greeted me when I arrived and lead me to the room for my service. The place was clean and aesthetically pleasing. The facial was wonderful I have not relaxed in the manner in a long time. I plan to come back for many more services. read more

This is my go-to salon for several reasons. The pros are their easy online booking system (you can schedule an appointment day of), clean facilities and cash only deals. I typically alternate between the 90 min massage and their facial/massage combo. Now for the cons? It's on Park Street and also across from the dispensary. That means parking can be a headache and the dispensary patrons are not the best drivers. Look out when you're crossing the street to get to the spa. Another con is that you sometimes might not get your preferred masseuse if you book late, but if you are open to any masseuse, that shouldn't be a problem. As for the massages itself, I wouldn't say it's the best I've had on the island but for the price and convenience, it's my regular spot. read more

I absolutely love bodywork! So I'm a little snobby about my massage experiences. After beating my body up on an extended hike I sorely and desperately sought out relief which I found at My Beauty Spa. I debated between giving them 3-4 stars for the following reasons: Yeah, I was able to get in at the last minute for a 90 minute massage on a Sunday . The price was extremely reasonable. The people were very nice and accommodating. The place was pleasant and clean. However.... I think there was a bit of a language barrier. I asked the masseuse if she did shiatsu and she said yes, but she did not. She told me she was going to do a one hour full body massage and 30 minutes on my feet. I told her 30 minutes on my feet was too long because they were bruised from a long hike. I preferred to have a longer body massage and maybe 15 minutes on my feet. She didn't massage my feet at all. The music that they play is that generalized loop track which I find rather boring. I always appreciate a masseuses personal soundtrack with a variety of calming music. I know that's kind of picky. However, the massage was also kind of a generalized relaxation massage and there was nothing remarkable about it. Did I feel better when I left then when I came in? Absolutely! Did this massage send me to the third heaven? Unfortunately not. Will I come back again? Debatable. read more

This has become my new favorite massage place in East Bay! It's a nice and clean spa that has hair services as well as massages. The staff is really nice and the massages are very affordable and the cash deals they have are amazing ($100 for a 60min body & 30min foot massage) -- especially compared to other bay area spas. Upon check-in, you fill out a quick form where you can indicate the strength you want and main areas of focus. The private room also had a nice ambiance, heated massage table, and they were playing soft piano music throughout. The massage itself was incredible -- I loved how she was very firm yet gentle. When she was massaging out my knots and kinks, it didn't even hurt. It was very relaxing and the hot stones were great. Will def be coming back and becoming a regular :) read more
