Such a good service, the massage therapist was delightful, yet firm with her treatment . The facial I received was also top-tier, had all of the newest equipment great place to relax and reset. read more

After tweaking my back, I booked a last minute deep tissue massage over the weekend. I was a bit worried this would turn into a typical spa style massage - lots of rubbing and oil but no real knowledge of how to address injuries. My therapist Long, however, was fantastic and knowledgeable. He really targeted the areas I pointed out and used different techniques to help relieve the problem. The next morning, I woke up with almost no pain and little tension in my back. Thanks team at Qua! read more

Don't go here if you're looking to drift off into a peaceful other world. You'll be getting your massage to the back drop of every noise imaginable. The good: - Massage was bang on time. Efficient check in. - My masseuse was good - polite, firm pressure and good technique. - Decor is ok. The meh: - No aromatherapy or scented oils used. Just basic oil. I'm used to being asked what scent I like. Or at least have some oils burning. It didn't feel like a massage experience without them. The massage was over $110 plus tip so I think it's a fair expectation. - The noise is insane. The rooms aren't even real rooms, they're just cubicles with partitions and sliding doors. You might as well have it right there in the reception area. The combo of the massage music and the background noise irritated me. I'd almost prefer one or the other. You can hear everything - people checking in, the manicurist and her customers, the massage customers next door. - There's no relaxation area after. If it's really a "spa" it should have one rather than walking right out from your massage to the waiting area :( Overall the massage loosened me up but I didn't get that zen relaxation I was really after. Made th experience feel clinical - like physical therapy - rather than a spa massage. :( read more

Came in for two deep tissue massages on a Sunday. Let me start with the positive: - Both were on-time, friendly and professional. - We completed a questionnaire prior to the massage and both were mindful of our requests. - The "pressure" of a deep tissue is always difficult to gauge as it is subjective as to what is considered "light", "medium" or "firm" pressure, so I always start with medium and go from there. My masseuse applied the perfect level of pressure. - The spa itself is small, but cute, and the decoration is well balanced. - The customer service was great. We were immediately greeted, we were offered something to drink and given our questionnaires and we waited in the "waiting area". If this review was based on just the masseuse and customer service, I would have given either four or five stars. However, it is based on the overall experience and that is where things significantly change. The "waiting area" is almost directly across from the mani/pedi station and right next to (and I do mean right next to) the massage rooms. We were escorted to our rooms, and I realized after I got into the room that the rooms are not enclosed. This means that everything (and I do mean everything) that is going on in the spa you can hear. So, for the next 90 minutes as my bf and I both tried to relax and enjoy our massages, we instead listened to doors opening and closing, phones ringing, laughing, foot traffic and clients talking about their weekend and just consistent noise. I have never had a massage that wasn't in a quiet space so this was an entirely different experience for me and my bf, one that neither of us would choose to replicate. It is not that it is super loud, it's just consistent and at different levels and coming from different things. There is background music but it's not enough to drown out the other noises. I would suggest if you want to try this place for a massage (because the masseuses were great) that you bring ear buds or some other noise cancelling device. If I had known that it wasn't in an enclosed space, I would never have made an appointment, so I thought I should write this review for anyone else that may be seeking a serene experience. We won't be back simply because there are other places we can go for a massage where noise is not a concern. This may not be an issue for some, but for those that prefer the "typical" massage experience, you probably would not find the atmosphere enjoyable. In hindsight I probably should have said something before we left, because after I read the reviews more in-depth, I realized that this is a known issue. Again, customer service and masseuses ---- really good! Noise level ----bad. read more

I had a really great deep tissue massage. The Qua was able to accommodate us last minute and were really friendly and professional. I definitely recommend getting a massage here! read more

At this price point I had been expecting a spa experience. It's not that. While the massage and facials were good and the people who work there are lovely, the space feels somewhere in between a nail salon and nice hotel spa. As it was my first time there, I arrived early to relax and ended up waiting outside with a locked door and no one at reception. It did not feel safe as there was a homeless man literally watching me and circling around. I would not pay this much money for this experience again. read more

I came to Qua Foot Spa for my Sunday Funday with my cousin. At first, he was a little hesitant because our massage therapists were both male but Anthony assuaged his fears by using expert massage techniques to knead away his tensions. My massage therapist was David and he is truly a master at deep tissue massages. I nearly fell asleep during my massage. I love how they offer a wide variety of all sorts of teas, including my favorite chrysanthemum. The lavender and gray tones along with the leaf designs on the ceiling sets the mood for a tranquil, zen experience. I left Qua feeling like a whole new person and I can't wait to come back here again. read more

First off, I am literally a forced refugee from Tru Spa. When they closed suddenly my heart literally fell into my stomach, mouth wide open and tears welling. My happy place for over eight years was gone. Where the hell would I get my nails done? I loved loved loved Amy, the most awesome nail tech ever. My one girly thing that must be perfectly done are my nails. I wear only one nail color, Wicked, and if you mess it up I can tell like no other. Tru made me happy, but alas I had to move on. Sad face. I tried a couple of other places. They were OK, but no Tru and certainly no Amy with her perfect nail work and heavenly massages. So I took up Audrey's offer to try Qua and to give the gel polish a try. OMG. Hello. Two weeks later and my nails are still practically perfect. See photo! The only reason I am getting them done exactly 2wks later is because it drives me crazy to have long nails. The mini moons I can live with, and NO CHIPS. I have found a new home for my fingernails. Sandy is awesome! Oh and so happy to continue to be able to see Rachel, my fave waxing esthetician! read more

Went here with a friend for our birthdays. We scheduled them at the same time. I scheduled a 60 min massage/60 min facial combo and she scheduled a 90 minute massage and a manicure. When we arrived, I noticed that they scheduled my facial before my massage and had me waiting 30 minutes in between my facial and my massage. The facial was average at best. I have a beard and they completely avoided the lower half of my face. After the massage, I had to lay in the room for 45 minutes waiting for my massage to start. The massage was also average at best. It's the next day and my skin is sore on my back, which is a first. My friend got her massage first and when she was finished, they told her there was no one available to do her manicure and apologized for the confusion. Not sure I know where the confusion is. We made an appointment and it was confirmed. Sounds like confusion in their part. So my friend then had to wait for an hour and 15 minutes for me to get done. We both agreed the face rests during the massage were borderline painful. Neither one of us will ever go back and I don't recommend you go here either. read more

Beware, if you received a gift certificate for this location before they changed their name from Qua Foot Spa, to Qua Spa (same location, same phone #, same everything), it won't be honored. The receptionist was illusive at best in explaining this policy and refused to connect me to anyone capable of discussing it further. - - - Update: No request to send the certificate was made on the call, though in a private Yelp message I've been told that gift certificates with the old business website on them are not honored. Still unclear what the relationship is between these businesses. read more

Great facial. My skin felt so clean for days. I had smaller pores and a glowing face. My esthician was lovely. I'll go back.

I had a very good experience here! Great customer service, skilled staff, and reasonable prices. I got a 60 minute massage, oxygen facial, and signature mani pedi and was happy with all my treatments. As long as you're not looking for a "full service spa experience" (they don't have a steam room, jacuzzi, showers, etc.), you'll be pleased. My spa day at Qua started with a 60 minute massage from Gary - he was attentive, thorough, made sure the pressure was to my satisfaction, and wasn't too chatty, which I appreciated. There was a very minor snafu at the end of my massage - my masseuse didn't know I had a facial scheduled right after, so he told me I could get dressed when the massage ended. It was only when I mentioned the facial that he brought me a robe and told me the basket with my belongings would be moved to my next treatment room. My facial with My also went well. She did a great job with my extractions - the discomfort was definitely worth it! She was a little too chatty at first, but quickly picked up on the fact that I wasn't in a talkative mood and reduced the amount of conversation. I loved the fact that My didn't try to sell me on various products during my facial (this is something the folks at Bliss do a lot, and it can be annoying!). Tina did my mani pedi, and I was very happy with it. She was very thorough and did a good job shaping my nails. The scrub was great as well. The front desk staff was great - Sabrina was very polite and friendly. It's a small spa and I felt well taken care of (they made sure I got plenty of water, and the cookie and chocolate square I was served during my mani pedi was a very nice touch). The only drawback to this spa is that it doesn't have the typical spa "extras" (you're not given a robe and slippers upon check in, there's no steam room or showers, etc.) Given the very reasonable prices (my massage, facial, and mani pedi combo was $240 before tip), this is not a big deal - just something to be aware of. Also, the waiting area is not very private and faces the nail salon area. Overall, this is a great spot to get some quality R&R at decent prices! read more

One of the best places for massage in town!!! The stuff is very kind! Immediately when you get inside they offering you special tea! Very good one:) I used the promotion deal- 69$ for massage and express manicure, both were wonderful! The massage is very professional! It's not the kind of place that use a lot of oil and not really give you massage, it's the opposite! The parking here it's only 3$ per hour! Which is great! Tnx qua spa! For sure I'll be back again!!:) read more

It a place where you appreciate the service and care when you need it the most. The prices are great! I went in for a facial with Jessica and she was kind and she was wonderful. Understood my problem and explained the process she would take for my situation. She was amazing and the products she used made perfect sense. Love how easy it was to interact with her. I'm seeing her on a monthly basis Joseph has been someone I would never had met if it was for my spontaneous need to get a foot scrub which was not his speciality but he went out of his way to do it. When he saw my chart and the problem areas I had placed on the paper he Immediately knew what I needed. I am going weekly and I have not felt this good in a long time. If you are on the go and need a long term fix for an inexpensive remedy with amazing products and professional people -this place is your spot !

Not the best. I'm not sure if the ownership or staff changed recently, but my massage was very soft despite a deep tissue add on and the facial was very sparse and my skin has been red for a day and a half since the facial, despite noting my sensitivity on the intake form. Also, I'm breaking out more than before I went in. Overall, I was underwhelmed and disappointed. I would browse other options if you're looking for a day of pampering. Note that parking is not validated in the garage right next to the entrance and, as expected in the city, it is upwards of $20. read more

This review is for a gel manicure I received as a gift, so no comment about pricing, but she did a pristine job. She was very thorough with cuticle trimming and the nails look great! A little stingy on the hand massage for my taste- I love a good hand/arm massage, but that's ok. The place is pretty small. They have one chair for hands, and one chair for pedicures at the front by the desk, and then a few rooms in the back for massages/facials. I would come back, I'll just have to check pricing :) read more

I received the best massage of my life from David. This massage changed my life and he taught me how to help manage my stress better as well. He has extensive experience with both western and eastern massage techniques and incorporates all of his knowledge and experience based on what the client needs, of which he can primarily detect intuitively. He asks questions to get to know what the main pain points are, if you have any pain in other areas of your body, will help you to identify blockages and better understand your body and how it works in conjunction with the mind, the soul, our environment, etc. I feel so empowered, I can't wait to come back and learn more and receive more massages which definitely transcend beyond your standard Swedish massage! read more

My bff scheduled a spa day for my 40th! Boy o boy! She picked the perfect spot!! Joseph looked at my tired mom beaten down body and went right to work!!!

I recently had the oxygen facial with microdermabrasion and it was AMAZING!!! My was the esthetician and she was fabulous! She first asked a few questions to get to know me and my skin better, then she provided a few options for my consideration. She never pushed in any one direction but gave me all the details so I could make the decision as to which facial I wanted. When doing the facial, she explained each step and at the end gave me instructions on how to maintain my new glowing skin so the effects of the facial can be felt for as long as possible. The spa itself is very nice. Beautiful decor, clean and inviting. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I didn't have time to try another service but I'll definitely be back. I highly recommend this Spa to anyone looking for a great environment to relax and recharge. read more

QUA Spa - Beautiful interior. - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ask for David! He's so good at what he does! Keeps me coming back! Great job! Thanks, David!!!

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. The service was extremely friendly--the results, meh. I booked: QUA Package II: $259, which includes: QUA Oxygen Facial QUA Classic Swedish Massage - 60 Minute QUA Signature Manicure QUA Signature Pedicure I started off with the massage. Massage focused more on the back of my body. I requested firm and the masseuse was good, but I wasn't particularly impressed. My body didn't feel looser. There was no euphoria. I think I'll stick to Thai massages. I was annoyed by the lack of quiet and serenity during my massage. I could hear laughing and speaking right outside the room. Also, the masseuse didn't provide any eye covering. While the room was dim, it wasn't that dark. I also found the massage table uncomfortable. The facial was my favorite part. The aesthetician walked me through the entire application process and was very attentive to my needs and preferences. I liked that she suggested DIY recipes for upkeep rather than pushing expensive products. Re: the mani/ped -- My nails chipped within 3 days. I wouldn't come back for a mani/pedi here. The seat was also uncomfortable. I agree with other reviewers that there's nothing 'Signature' about the mani/pedi. I tipped all the people 20% for their efforts. I don't think I'll return though. Too bad because I live/work nearby. Overall, I think the space needs an upgrade. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place for facials. While I appreciated my provider's enthusiasm for extractions, I have spent the first week after my facial with a noticeable scab on my nose due to the process damaging my skin. It has now been two weeks, and the skin on my nose is still red and healing. Other areas of my nose after my facial also experienced significant peeling and flaking off of skin. As you can imagine, this is not the result I had hoped for from my facial, and it has been pretty embarrassing as the abrasion on my nose is difficult to hide. I wanted to give this feedback, because I think it would be important to find other methods of extractions, as this is the first time I've had this happen after a facial. I sent a message to Qua to give feedback and did not hear back, which I found disappointing as well. read more

I am not going to go into details but... this SPA is amazing. I had BDay gift for facial and massage package and it was implacable! Especially Masseuse Merlin.... she was awesome. Very calm, knowledgeable masseuse. 10 Stars. read more

My is a genius! I have never had a facial before but heard great things about this spa and My, and am happy that I took the plunge and did it. I did the Anti-Acne Oxygen facial. My really took her time with the extractions and I have never had my face so clean in my life. I love that she took the time to explain each step and was even able to give me advice about skincare products that I use. My favorite thing was that I never felt like I was being "sold" to or told that I need to be doing unnecessary treatments- something that I'm always weary about when it comes to beauty services. Overall I couldn't be happier with my visit and have already recommended her to everyone in my office! read more

Got a groupon special. Good small location with parking. Overall it was enjoyable and a good massage. Th place is clean and the staff was friendly, but very limited on extras and seems limited. Staff was skilled and nice; price was reasonable but limited to anything other really didn't have much to offer for mani-pedi's. Not a full service Spa on my option. read more

I came in for a Qua Signature pedicure and Tina has transformed my feet into luxury. She was meticulous and thoughtful about every part of the pedicure and I really appreciated that.

Thank you so much, Tina!! read more

Booked myself an appointment here the night before. Got a discount via Yelp and I had two gift cards from Spa Week for total $50 so massage came out to $49. My therapist was Gary, he was AMAZING!!! It's been so hard to find good massage therapists and he was spot on. I am very happy with the service, from the moment I stepped in to the moment I left. The male receptionist was extremely friendly, professional and hospitable. I am coming back. And I'm coming back for YOU GARY! Lol btw there are no special amenities of any sort. They do nails and massage and that's about it. The room wasn't all that, and in fact, it was looking kind of messy and scattered in my opinion. Luckily Gary did such an exemplary job that the appearance of the room didn't matter much to me by the end of it all. Thanks Gary!!! tipped $20 on top of that. read more

I was able to snag a last minute appointment yesterday for a facial and massage, and for quite a deal too as it was a buy one, get one special. With no fuss, I parked at the Soma Grand garage, and arrived promptly for my facial at 12. When you walk into Qua, you know you're walking into a relaxing space. I filled out my forms and soon was ready for my facial with Deb. She was very nice and sweet and has this angelic voice that makes you feel comfortable. She examined my skin and noted the good/bad and we moved on to the procedure. Deb described everything was she doing and all the ingredients in the products she was using. Her massages were spot on, I only wish there was time for more! read more

Very disappointed! I choose this place because of the reviews, But that wasn't a good experience. I scheduled 60min massage for my boyfriend, the lady over the phone gave me the total and took my card number and I've told her 1. to charge my credit card since It's a gift for my boyfriend. 2. I prefer female for the massage Very simple request. Two days before the appointment i called again to the place just to make sure that everything is clear and correct , this surprise for my boyfriend was super important to me! UNFORTUNATELY my boyfriend end up getting a massage from a male not a female like I've asked before twice AND they asked him to pay for the massage So embarrassing‼‼ read more

I arrived 15 minutes early, as instructed when I made my reservation, for my massage / facial package and discovered I was too early... nobody was in yet to greet me. I waited outside for ~5 minutes (in a pretty dodgy area) before anyone who worked at the spa showed up. I wasn't asked my preference in gender of massage therapist - which does matter to a lot of people getting massages. I got over it after a few minutes, but was thrown off at first. Overall the actual massage and facial I received were good. I just wouldn't recommend this spa to anyone looking for a specific, relaxing atmosphere. The spa is small, without locker rooms, robes, or a relaxation room. It is more of a factory - get in, get your service, get out. read more

I made an appointment for a mani pedi and it was everything I expected and more! The ladies at Qua were pleasant, helpful, and fun to be around.

I would definitely return to Qua! read more

I brought my wife to San Francisco to celebrate her birthday. One of the things that we wanted to do was to get a couples massage at a nice spa. Qua is a very nice spa, but wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It's a relatively small space with no locker room, showers or relaxation room. The walls are thin and you can easily hear everything else going on throughout the spa. It's a little distracting while trying to relax and enjoy a massage. All that said, the prices were fair, I had read the reviews and knew what to expect. They don't have space to accommodate a couples massage so we got them separate. Both my wife and I agree that the massages themselves were excellent. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wouldn't call it great. My wife and I agree that we would like to try a different spa the next time that we are in San Francisco. read more
