This is a truly local massage place--nothing overly fancy, just clean, comfortable, and functional. I've been fortunate to have some excellent massage therapists over the years (13!), and for the past four years I've been seeing the same therapist here for deep-tissue massage to help with various aches, pains, and muscle tension. What sets her apart is the attention she gives to what I actually need during each visit. If I have a specific area that is bothering me, she takes a genuine interest in addressing it rather than simply following the same routine every time. She has incredible strength when deeper pressure is needed, but more importantly, she adjusts her technique and approach based on the individual needs of her client. After four years, I consider her a trusted provider and an important part of maintaining my physical well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive deep-tissue massage therapist. read more

Had a full body massage for 1 hr today. It was a head to toe massage. The best! I have lots of kinks n knots so Ann worked her magic. Will b back. read more

Great service, helped fix some of my back issues so I will definitely be revisiting this place.

I've been hear a few times. Great place considering the proximity to my home and very affordable. Average massage quality, friendly staff, easy to get an appointment. Sometimes can be a bit noisier than I like. All in all a great value. I'll be back regularly. This another place I would give a half star more than I am able. read more

My regular massage therapist moved away a while ago and I've been trying different places until I found Pleasant Day Spa, and now I don't need to keep looking anymore. The prices are very reasonable and the facility and the people are quite nice. I've now had two full body massages with Lulu and she is fantastic. She was very thorough and when she found the knotted up muscles and tension areas she expertly worked them loose with a minimum amount of pain. At the end of my second massage with Lulu, I felt like my muscles had all melted into the table I was so completely relaxed. I didn't want to move and disturb all of my soothed muscles. I highly recommend Pleasant Day Spa ... give it a try! read more

Still coming here a year later got Leo again... he has magic fingers! He really works those knots!

Do you want to go to heaven but aren't willing to pay the steep price? Then do I have a solution for you!! Come here and get a full body massage for $45 and you will swear you're in heaven! I know, I know...so cheesy!! But seriously, I've been coming here for years and have had many different people and I've had the most fabulous massages ever! Today, I had Vicky. My back was full of knots and she got rid of every single one. She's terrific. I couldn't help but notice some reviews complained about massages being too rough or they hurt. There's an easy solution for that. Speak up! Say something! You've got a voice, use it - and they will adjust accordingly! Easy peezy! read more

Pleasant Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

I came to this place because I got fed up w the one by outback steakhouse. There was always a change in people, one guy would fall asleep massaging your feet, then one day it was just closed. Anyway....I've come here twice now, and am really happy. The guy who did my massage had good technique & strength. Kind of grossed me out that his hands smelled like cigarettes. He got the super knots out of my neck and back. Which is no small feat. So what ever. This is my new spot. read more

So glad this place is back open. 8 months without a massage is way too long. Felt clean, safe. I wore a mask during the massage. Weird at first but quickly forgot about it. It was skin to skin and they still do the hot towels. But you could probably ask them to do a massage through a thin sheet. I will definitely go back soon, especially given the chance we could go back into lockdown. They did raise their rates a tiny bit. But let's be real, it's still an amazing deal. read more

The first time I tried this place, my masseuse did an ok job. I thought maybe I'll give this place another try. My masseuse was Tina, she did an incredible job on getting the spots that I circled in the diagram - I would recommend her. But my boyfriend received someone who did a terrible job. Fast forward to yesterday. I had the worst headache and back/shoulder pain. I went in for a 60 minutes massage and my masseuse Cindy, 1 - did not follow the diagram. 2 - she mainly massaged my neck area and kept pinching it. 3 - she somehow pushed against my shoulders and made it worst, my body felt worse coming out than going in. 10 min into the massage I already wanted to ask her to stop but thought maybe it'll get better. Nope it kept getting worst, her techniques were terrible. Overall my experience here was not good and made me felt more stress and the areas that didn't have pain now has it. Please, if you hire someone, make sure they actually know how to do their job right because we don't just go in for free. We're paying for our service. read more

I paid for the 60min. Foot Reflexology., I would give 5 stars but due to overall 'comfortable experience', 4 stars is still good. Pro's: Great Value Neck/Shoulder/Head/Face Included, Both Face Up & Face Down! Con: The sectional 'Bed' can be quite uncomfortable, across your hip or low back, where the 'secitonals' meet. I should have asked for a towel to lay on. It was uncomfortable, until I flipped over. Overall: I will definitely go back, but I'll bring a thin cushion. If you need or like Deep Tissue, ask for Kevin. read more

Sunday night: best to make an appointment as they were busy & had me return a bit later. Alice was my masseuse. She was mindful in asking about the pressure a few times. She left me wanting a two hour massage vs the hour I originally asked for. My total was 45$ (cash) (50$ for cards) which is a great deal I think. I can't believe I don't come more regularly. Overall, happy that I returned after they asked me to wait- happy with my experience with Alice- and mostly happy that I took my self care seriously today. read more

My gf and I got the best couples massage, they had strong hands and knew exactly what they were doing! Would definitely go back

PDS takes walk ins. I came to this place after checking online to see what was near me. I was pleasantly surprised by the rates and the massage I received. I got a 1 hour massage and it was definitely worth it. Na na was my masseuse and she made sure I was comfortable for the duration of the massage. I'll definitely come back here soon. read more

This was the third foot massage spa that I'd visited recently trying to find one I liked. They were not great. The massage was just ok... the spa itself was run down and needs a serious redecoration. I felt it was not worth the money and definitely didn't get the relaxation feeling that I was looking for. read more

Important Read Entire Review. Fantastic Spa 5 Stars. This Is NOT A Massage Parlor, So If Your Some Weard-o Go Somewhere Else. Extremely Professional. Extremely Clean. Beautiful Interior. Super Helpful. On Time. Great Location. Lots Of Parking. Very Safe Area. Flagship Stores 4 Shopping Massage: Deep Tissue Massage, Although If You Prefer A Lighter Touch, Just Let Kevin Know. I Was Referred To Pleasant Day Spa, And Wanted To Pay It Forward So You Could Experience It For Yourself. I Have Had Many Spa Experiences, And The ONLY Thing That Is Comparable Would Be The Long Drive To Japan Town In San Francisco. If You Pay Cash An Hour Is $45 And 90 Minutes Is $90. I Personally Think The Prices Should Be Higher, But Heck I'll Keep Quiet And Tip The Massage Person BIG... I Know People From Danville, Alamo, Diablo, And Orinda Will Say "Oh On, I'm Not Going To Pleasant Hill" I'm Going To Pay Twice As Much For Half The Massage, Because It's In Danville. So Save Yourself A Trip To Japan Town And Enyoy The BEST Massage This Side Of The Bay. Side Note...Since I Don't Like To Have Any Oil On My Body, If Your OCD Like Me, You May Want To Schedule Later In The Day, And Then Go Home And Take A Warm Shower To End The Day. Again That's Just My Personal Preference. 5 Stars Exceptional Spa read more

Tried to walk in on a Sunday: not sure if it was because we asked for full body massages or a couple's massage or both, but either way, an appointment was required for what we wanted. Luckily we were able to get one that same day. When we came back for the appointment a couple hours later, the receptionist looked at the clock (we were five minutes early), said she'd take us in five minutes, changed her mind, and took us in. After we'd been lying down for what felt longer than ten minutes, one masseuse came in and started working on my boyfriend. I started to wonder if she was going to work on both of us. Several minutes later another masseuse walked in, apologizing as she did so. Okay- you cannot be self-conscious about your derriere if you're going for a full massage here, as your bare bum will definitely end up exposed. The first time the masseuse folded down the sheet, I thought it was an accident and she would cover me back up. NOPE. I was sore from snowboarding the day before, so aside from that initial awkwardness, having a total stranger massage my butt wasn't so bad. Not sure if it was this particular masseuse, but the lack of communication was off putting. Most ask if the amount of pressure they're using is too light/hard. This girl said nothing. Nor did she lighten her touch when I flinched from having my calves and back of my neck squeezed too hard. The real cherry on top was when she scraped her nails up and down my scalp. Our total was $84- 40 per massage, plus a fee for using credit card. For this price, I would come again, but hope that I get a different masseuse. read more

LEFT WITH BRUISES! I'm not one to leave reviews or complain but I feel really upset with the service. This is the first time I have ever been here. I had one women originally who did a great job but somewhere during the massage they switched. My massage got much rougher and intolerable. This is the most painful massage I have had ever and I have had many massages. I thought she would see the discomfort in my face but I guess not. read more

I've been here a few times and has been good. But this time I left with bruises!! I could tell during the massage that she was spending too much time in one spot. The other have the time it was just rubbing motions with out the massage. I didn't pay to get pet. I'm definitely going to another place where they know how do give a proper massage. read more

Pleasant Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

WORST MASSAGE EVER! I have been going to the smaller original place by Safeway on Contra Costa for a while. We were referred to this location because they were booked at the other one. The woman didn't even use lotion. She was literally just pulling my arms and legs. Barely tapping.. and who taps! The experience was terrible and I was charged $50 and told I had to add a tip. $60 spent on the worst massage I have ever had. I will not be back and will be letting everyone know about the horrible service I received. read more

This place rocks. We just happened to walk in because we were impressed as we were passing by. The place is nice and clean. The massage itself was wonderful and a great value. This is my new go to massage place. read more

The place is clean. I had a woman and she was awful. She even slapped my back super hard at the end and said done. But the rest of the time she hardly worked at anything. My friend had a guy and she was feeling great. If I go I will only let a guy do me. The price is great but let the same as I came in, plus a red hand print on my shoulder. $20.00 if you pay in cash. read more

Don't go! I am a strong, muscular person that doesn't get hurt easily and this massage left me crippled for 4 days. My lower back starting spasming after the massage. I went home and used my TENS unit; Salonpas pads and alternatively ice and eat for 4 days. I could barely walk. I thought it might just be soreness from the massage but not when it lasted 4 days. It was cheap and convenient but not as the cost of how much pain I was in afterwards. They speak minimal English and it can make it difficult to communicate. They get 1 star for being courteous. Otherwise, no stars. read more

My SIL and I were desperately looking for a Spa that would take two walk-ins at the same time on the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend as are scheduled appointment at Anew Day Spa failed to call us before they canceled. We called before we arrived and the woman who answered was very friendly and accomodating they were able to take both of us right away. Upon arrival she greeted us with a smile and walked us right into our rooms. The rooms looked for very nice, with calming music and lighting that made me feel very relaxed. My massage therapist walked in and she was very sweet and new what she was doing, I didn't catch her name. She made sure the pressure was okay. I usually have a hard time letting the therapist know if the pressure is too hard just because I don't want to offend them and I let her know that. She said don't worrk just let me know. She found all my knots right away and massaged them out. I felt very comfortable and relaxed and would definitely go back. Especially with the great price. I will be gifting my husbad with a message for Father's Day. Don't forget to pay with cash, for the $5 discount. It's $45 with a card. read more

I went for a full body massage. The massage was completely inconsistent, rubbing random parts of my back. There must be a shortage of lotion for both their hands and for the massage. Oh and listening to the front desk woman hack up the mucus wasn't exactly relaxing. read more

Great price: $40/hour. We went here for a deep tissue and swedish massage. Most of the therapists were nice and friendly. However, we were surprised that one of the therapists had asked us to pay prior to the massage. Good thing that the other one said, no need. The quality of massage is just fine. We also wanted to pay via credit card but was told that they didn't know how to use the credit card machine. So just make sure that you have enough cash. read more

for $ 25 (cash) or $30 card you get 60 min foot massage. but not so much reflexology because I didn't see/feel my partitioner try to undo knots in my legs, nor did i get the feeling she had an understanding of anatomy. But it was very relaxing..even with the noise of the office. (phone ringing, laundry machine being emptied, someone using microwave.) Of course, I did arrive at dinner time (5:30pm). I will come back because the ladies working there are very nice, but will continue to search for a place w a better understanding of art of reflexology. read more

Wowwwwww! That's what the lady that gave me the most amazing message I've ever had me saying the whole time. She had a bunch of different ways to get my knots out and man did I have knots. She was exactly the kind of masseuse I was looking for because she was caring about how hard or soft she was going. I really enjoyed when I called to make the appointment the lady on the phone had a very nice soft voice and let me put my name down. When we got there we paid the $45 up front and then we were given a diagram of the body so you could mark where exactly was causing you the most pain so that way they could make sure to take care of those parts the most. The room was very large and nice. The music was soothing which made it easier to relax. To end the message we were also given a hot towel rub down. Will be back for sure! Highly highly recommend! read more

Yay: Nice, clean place. They speak English. The massage therapist recognized where my back was more sore and focused a bit more attention on those areas. Price is reasonable. Nay: They asked us to pay first. The massage therapist stepped out of the room once to answer the phone ringing in the front. read more

This place is great if you like deep tissue massages. I always ask for Nancy, excellent at removing my knots. They're very accommodating and will always find a masseuse for you. Place gives $5 discount if you pay cash. read more

Anna was amazing! She gave me the best full body deep tissue massage I have ever had! Worked out all the knots! I will be coming to see her on a regular basis. Was worth the drive from alameda. read more

I had a pleasant experience here. I went in for a 1-hour foot massage, and although it was more like 50 minutes, I did walk out feeling refreshed and relaxed. Their customer service is good and you really can't beat the price! read more

Just went there first time. Except for the paint smell from the place being newly painted, everything else is good. $20/hr foot massage includes face, head, neck, scalp, hand, arm massage for the first 15 min. I gave $10 tip because that's only right after such good massage at dirt cheap price. Only minus point (even after the paint smell fades) is that you can hear people talk and have to see everyone else getting their feet massaged in one big room. So if you're not into being in a large room filled with other people, get a body massage which you get in a private room. Most likely I'll visit them again soon. read more

Sophia is amazing !!! One of the best massages I've received in a long time. The massage rooms are clean and a good temperature. All of the massage therapist are nice and professional. Anyone who is available will give you a great massage. The prices are very reasonable, so it won't hurt the pocket book. They have showers available but they will also use a hot towel to remove oil/lotion. If you are looking for a good massage at a good price. This is the place for you !!! read more

I have not been able to walk for two months after an ankle sprain and after 90 minutes I literally was able to walk out of here without a limp and feeling SO taken care of by a skilled and compassionate therapist. If you want an expert massage this is the place to go. Fantastic experience from start to finish at a super fair price. I don't think it works well to view tipping at this kind of place on a percentage because the prices are so low. Think of how hard they are working and what you think is fair to acknowledge for their efforts and care. read more

Update: Got a message today from the "new owner" stating to come try them again since they under new ownership which is BS because I looked at recent posts and someone posted 7 hrs ago that their massage person kept walking in and out of massage to great customers. Same complaint I had. Do not trust this "new owner" message read more

Most painful massage ever! when the girl came into the room she ask if I wanted the massage hard or medium, and of course I said medium, I wanted to enjoy my massage. She Worked a lot on my back, because I was tense she said, , so I didn't say much because I thought I would be feeling better after, but not at ALL. I got home and changed and my daughter says,, what happened to your back??!!!!..I looked and I had bruises all over my back and butt!!...I couldn't lay on back because of the pain and burning feeling .....I will definitely not go back... read more

Omg i LOVE this place! Super clean and totally affordable. I paid for a full body massage w/the hot stones for 60min all $60!! The place is very friendly and conveniently located down the street from the sun valley mall so it's a great place to come to if you have time to kill. WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK! Thank you pleasant day spa, it was a VERY pleasant experience read more

Thought I'd try this place out as it's close to home and was unfortunately very disappointed. A girl named "Wicky?" Started my foot massage and there was nothing relaxing about it. She seemed very rushed and bothered to be there. At one point she talks to another woman "Katie" and then 10 minutes later leaves and Katie comes to finish the massage. Katie actually seemed to know what she was doing and the last 15 minutes of my hour weren't too bad. However, I don't plan to go back. There are plenty of $25 dollar foot massage places around and I've been to several. I'd rate "Creekside Salon and Day Spa" in WC as best followed by "Ling's" and then "Plus One" both in Pleasant Hill. Very disappointed. read more

Stumbled on this place because Envy was full. Needed a message before the Spartan Race World Championship in Tahoe. They worked my body and loosen everything up so much that i came back again (2 days in a row) today just to have my legs done. I fully recommend this place. My body feel refreshed and ready to take on the 30 miles competition! read more
