I stopped in on a Friday around 145 or so and was greeted at the door. I didn't get the name of the provider but he did a very deep and very relaxing massage of my back, neck, shoulder, arms, and hands. I really loved that he did lots of stretching at the end and checked in about pressure as sometimes it was quite deep but at 35 bucks for 30 mins, I will probably be here multiple times a week. I work at a computer and suffer from upper back and shoulder pain from repetitive motion so I would recommend this spot to anyone who does the same! read more

I am extremely disappointed with the way a recent gift card redemption was handled at your spa. When I originally purchased the gift card, I specifically asked if a 20% tip could be included and was told it could be. I wanted the tip to be included so that the person receiving the gift would not have to worry about paying anything additional when he came in for his appointment. I also went in for the foot spa the same day the recipient went in and let them know I was going to pay for mine and gave them the gift card for the other person. Unfortunately, when I redeemed the gift card, I was made to feel uncomfortable and was essentially shamed for not leaving a tip. I tried explaining several times that the tip had already been included with the gift card, but I was repeatedly told that it had not been paid. The situation became so frustrating that I had to locate and provide the original receipt to prove that the 20% tip had, in fact, already been paid. This was incredibly disappointing and embarrassing, particularly because the entire purpose of including the tip in advance was to make the experience easy and enjoyable for the gift recipient. Instead, he left feeling as though he had done something wrong by not tipping, when the tip had already been paid by me. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I am very concerned about how this was handled. Your staff should be able to accurately review gift card transactions and, if there is any question about whether gratuity was included, resolve it without making the customer feel guilty or embarrassed. I hope you will take this situation seriously and review how gift cards with prepaid gratuity are documented and communicated to your staff to prevent another customer from being put in this position. read more

The guy giving me a chair massage was rushed, distracted, and answering the phone the whole time. Then raised his voice at me when I only tipped him a few bucks! read more

Stopped by for a 30-min. Deep Tissue massage & had a very therapeutic experience! Released so much back/neck tension, felt so relieved. Simply the best massage I've found in Austin... and the cheapest too! 100% recommend read more

This is a legit Chinese massage place that will give you very firm massages when you ask for one, at a pretty reasonable price too. I walked in on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't busy. Loved the experience - very no frills and just focused on the massage. Will definitely be back for more chair and full body massages! read more

This place DOES NOT MISS! Every full body massage I've gotten here has been great. The masseuse is always friendly and responsive, the prices are great and they seem to always have availability. I'm hesitant to leave a review in case they get busier but still I won't gatekeep, this place is great for massage read more

Start a timer on your phone when they actually start your massage. This is the third time today that they have shorted me 10 minutes and want to argue about it. I'm very calm. Just show them the phone and they get it. But not ok they are shorting me and others time that is not part of the treatment. When they are soaking your feet. Or towel wipe down or transition from the foot massage to the chair massage. That time does not count anywhere else you go. It's the time from when they are using their hands to work on you. Enjoy! read more

Always a good massage. But in my old age I have to tell them to go easy on me. My body/skin isn't as tough as it used to be

I understand when a company is busy, but 4 different walk-ins were taken before me after I had waited patiently for 25 minutes. I was then brought the the massage chair and waited another 10 minutes before my 30 minute massage was to begin, starting at 2:13pm. My masseuse stoped on 3 separate occasions to tend to people coming in and setting them up for their foot massage. He then promptly stopped at 2:40pm. As you can see that was not a 30 minute provided service, but I was charged full price and when I stated facts he just looked at me. I went ahead and paid, but explained that I would not be coming back to a place that does not provide a service that should be expected. Please use this review as you will, I hope that you also rethink your decision to come here. read more

I've been regularly getting massages from Relax Day Spa for years now and even have my favorite person that I call ahead to schedule with. The massages are WAY better than alternative high-priced exclusive spas, but without the frills (which I don't need) and for very affordable rates. They target the tight spots, know the reflexology for feet and give great deep and thorough massages, helping to loosen my tightness, every time. I'm convinced it's an investment in my long-term health as I always feel so much better afterwards. And while I have walked in for a massage at busy times and had to wait, what else do you expect when something is in high demand? I don't fault them for that. Planning for less busy times and/or calling ahead is the way to navigate that. Just glad that I have an option for a quality massage that I can regularly treat myself to and afford! read more

I've been to this place twice, and while the first visit was just okay but cheap, the second was an absolute nightmare. The woman who sat me seemed completely unwilling to take my business and even threw a towel in my face as she showed me to my chair. If they dont want the patronage of certain customers, they should just refuse service upfront and reveal their true colors. I will never set foot in this establishment again. Don't give your money to bigots. You'll get better customer service at Taco Bell. read more

Harassed my grandmother for more tip! I used to come here a lot bc the massages were great but it has CHANGED. I had a 30 minute foot massage which was just rubbing my leg repeatedly and not really getting into my feet. I thought, off day, ok. I went to pay for my, my mom, and my grandmother's massages and they asked how much my grandmother put in the tip jar...and then the man up front proceeded to harass her and then my mom for more tip. Not to mention my mom's 30 min massage was cut short to 20 min. Shocked and upset we wanted to know why we were being harassed - at first I thought my payment didn't go through when he came after me too. But the man was relentless. We finally threw in more money - regretfully - and got the heck out of there! Never coming back. Ruthless. read more

I have really tried to give this place a chance. This was my 3rd time going. Once again they rushed the whole service. Paid for 45mins and got maybe a total of 30mins. The staff is always scrambling to figure who is next and almost like they are already fighting for the next client. The guy at the register literally threw my card back at me because I asked about why the price different between my gift card and balance. Raised his voice and told me because my gift card only covered 20mins when it said 40mins on it. Also, I kept trying this place because of the good reviews and thinking maybe I got a person who was having a bad day. But 3 times in a row is enough for me not to come back. read more

I've gone to this place a few times because my job is stressful and I really carry a lot of stress in my back, shoulders and neck. After spending $1400 in chiro care with no real relief, I tried Relax Day Spa. They work really hard to relax the muscles and get the kinks out. I'm headed there right now! I'm read more

0 star -Horrible service and very rude! my massage person demanded more money for a tip. A 30 min massage cost $30 and I tipped $5 which is 16% that's reasonable considering he was rude and speaking to his co workers throughout my treatment. Three of us got a massage and they first tried shorting my time to 20 min vs 30. Then he demanded more cash very loudly and disrupted others while getting a massage. Not to say how he tried to humiliate me. He continued to yell and demanded more tip. I was so embarrassed that he was treating me as if I didn't pay for my service. I will never return here. Please consider a more professional place to get your treatment read more

Very happy with our #1 special (30 minutes foot massage, 15 minutes chair massage). The environment is comfortable. All staff were masked. Pricing is very reasonable. read more

Lives up to the marquee. We chose the 45 minute foot/back massage with a couple family members and it felt great, but do take note they are firm massages and apply pressure to targeted areas. The staff members are friendly and it's impressive to watch the synchronicity of the massage therapists as they work in harmony when you go in with a group. Price range is very reasonable ($42 per person for 45 minute massage - 30 minute feet/15 minutes back and arms). The dark lighting and traditional music create a relaxed ambiance. read more

Terrible experience People were so rude I made an appt and they made me wait 15 min then over charged me. Just terrible customer service. read more

Stopped in to see what they offer & if they had a suana. The gentleman behind the desk, which is about 10-15' from the front door, hollered to me "what massage.you want?". I literally had just walked thru the door & had no idea what they offered. His energy was aggressive, he was sweaty & seemed stressed. Not the type of energy I'd want to get a massage from or even discuss getting a massage from. I asked repeatedly if they had a suana but he didn't seem to understand what I was saying. Then he said "no we.dont have suana" turned walked away angrily & said something to someone else in another language in which I made.out the word "sauna" ‍ Overall just not inviting or relaxing. read more

The place is very clean, from what I saw. Very quiet atmosphere and very attentive staff. I walked in, chose my massage, and let them know I needed someone very strong for my massage. I had Kim and he was awesome. 60 minutes of stretching and massaging and getting knots out that were just awful. I walked out feeling so much better than I had in a while! This was exactly what I needed! I loved it. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is the best place for deep massage for athletes to get rid of all pain stored in muscles. Ask for Hunter--he knows where the knots are without telling him! For $60 combo deal--best stress release! read more

Relax Day Spa is my happy place! I come here often - once a week or every other week for several years - and get the combo 2. It includes a 30-minute reflexology foot and leg massage and a 30-minute chair massage for your back and neck. I would recommend this service. I try to go during the weekday because it gets busy after work hours and on the weekends. I can walk in and never have to wait. Everyone here is relatively intuitive; however, one therapist applies too much pressure, but I just let him know that it's too hard, and he listens. They are affordable and deserve five stars. Thanks for all the excellent services over the years! read more

I just paid $42 to get beat up. This reminded me of a massage I got at a women's prison in north Thailand (don't ask...) Is it brutal? Yes. Do these people know EXACTLY how to massage your foot to make your worries melt away? also yes. Trust me, you might want to ask them to stop, but bear through it and your feet will feel so much better afterwards. It is Eastern medicine at its finest. The chair massage was an entirely different experience. That I would give 1 star if I could. I am covered in bruised and it was ineffective at actually massaging me, instead it was just a lot of pressure on random pressure points that just plain hurt. I can definitely deal with pain for a satisfactory end goal (I get my eyebrows threaded twice a month!!) but this was ALL pain and NO gain. 1/5 Chair massage 4/5 Foot massage I am happy I went earlier in the day -- it was nice not to be surrounded by people also getting massages but at the end of the day I think I will try some other Asian massages in town before settling on this one as my go-to..I am pretty sure it can be better. read more

Relax Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best massages every time no matter who you get. They know how to 'fix' you. Ambience could be better and a little stressful with how quick they move you through. I got the system down though read more

If you are coming to Relax Day Spa expecting a soft gentle traditional massage you may not like it. I love coming here because I always get a good deep pressure massage that gets those pesky knots out. I like that it's dark and quiet. I never fail to fall asleep when I get a foot soak and massage. I'm impressed that the staff is still wearing masks and taking guests temperatures upon entry. read more

It's gone down hill in the last few years. Booked for an hour deep tissue. Was in and out in less than an hour. Make it make sense.

I've been going here for quite some time - about 6 times. It's inexpensive and I tried most of the combination massages. I highly recommend Combination 4 - 40 min full body + 30 min foot. It has the most value. For other options that are either shorter or not for the table full body massage, they seem to have to rush through it. I agree that it is either a HIT or MISS with the other options. Perhaps they put the most experienced people on full body or you can TRY and ask specifically for a strong massage. Beware that the staff don't speak English well so you can't ask for any customization in the massage options - Just answer whatever is on the price sheet. Furthermore, if one has never been to an Asian massage before, note that the chair and feet are done out in the open. BRING SOME HEADPHONES if you wish to cancel out any converstaions going on around you but I don't mind, everyone still speaks softy in Chinese. The full back is within a private room. For the value, I don't mind to continue to go, but I long for one closer to my home in Buda, TX or a space where it's a bit less crowded. They're getting more business lately. Tip something. If you don't like this style of massage, understand that this is how it is in Asia. They rubbed your feet for a living. If you didn't like your American masseuse, I'm sure you would tip something anyways. This is no different. read more

Really wish I would have got the ladies name who did my massage but I will be back for that for sure! She was amazing!!!! I had surgery on my shoulder a little over a month ago and have been so sore everywhere so I just randomly pulled this place up, was skeptical on getting a massage but was like I guess I can try it! I asked for a deep massage but for her to be a little careful and she did exactly what I needed. I woke up this morning with my sore spots feeling so so much better! Also, everyone was so nice, welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. Definitely will be going back. read more

I love this place, been coming for years now. Usually you can get right in without a wait or appointment. I will caution the pressure of the massage (back/shoulders) can be intense. I looooove the foot rubs. Music & ambiance is perfectly relaxing & nice. Great for a solo date, couples date, or even with a few girl friends. read more

Been going here for six years and I am ever so grateful that they remained open thrumost of the pandemic. There are no indoor lava wall fountains or fancy caves. It's a straightforward place to get a massage via table or chair. They are all very hard workers & the only drawback is it can be a little bit difficult to communicate because they pretty much only speak Mandarin; but that also keeps you from talking during the massage. I never go anywhere else because I can't stand being sold bullshit coupons or monthly payment plans. It's a massage!! read more

Best $42 I've spent in a long time. (combo #1). I've been coming here for years, but was a bit leary to treat myself since the pandemic started. They were very safe, taking temperatures upon arrival, everyone was wearing a mask, and they took the sanitizing seriously. As soon as I got up there were two people sanitizing my chair. I will be restarting my monthly self care immediately. read more

The massages here are great and I find myself feigning a chair massage from this place during the middle of my day. I don't know how they do it but they always gets the knots out of my neck and upper shoulders and I like it how they don't go soft on me and beat up on me even though I'm a girl. Whenever I go to a "spa," the therapists are more hesitant to give me a really deep massage. Also, this place is super cheap. $12 for a 15 minute chair massage? Hell yes. Unfortunately, they could take a class on customer service because the woman (I think she is the owner) is rude as hell and I don't like how the therapists talk to each other loudly in their native language while giving massages. It makes me feel like they're talking about me and it's not very relaxing. read more

This is the best! They are professional and do a great job. They are clean and follow the CDC guidelines to a T.

I was in town for a wedding and had a flare up from my herniated disc in my neck. They were able to see me as soon as I walked in and my pain lessened after my massage. Fast forward to today. That weekend in Austin, I lost a necklace with a lot of sentimental value. I was going crazy looking for it. It dawned on me that I had gotten a massage. I called them and SURE ENOUGH, they had been holding on to it since March! I am grateful. read more

Very good massage therapist have gone many times I really recommend this massage place.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. This place is dirty, they ask for tips--after being super rude and the old man has the nastiest attitude---Such as this place. Don't bother coming here. There are other places, worth the money. read more

I wanted to go to the last spa I visited-they were exceptional! But, I encouraged myself to try a place closer to me. As I pulled up to park, my intuition said no, but I talked back and said, "Come on, you might discover something great!" The moment I walked in the door I was greeted by a human looking person with a cold, impersonal and rude, angry demeanor. I think it was a human robot with attitude. Yup, my initial gut feeling seemed accurate. I proceeded reluctantly. The massage was ok, but that was probably because I was trying very hard to focus on the music and not the first impression I was given. The energy there was depressed and bleak. The room was freezing during the massage....After the massage, I said thank you to the masseuse who answered back with a grunt. Apparently, this place is with filled negative energy, and energy is what these people are suppose to be working with. It was a bit like having an electronic chair massage which is not a massage, really. If this place doesn't make some serious changes, they will be out of business soon. I care not to return and will make sure to listen to my inner voice. I Will be back to my previous massage spa, which was, by the way less expensive than this place and AWESOME!!! So, folks, if your looking for rude robots to accommodate you, you've found the perfect place! :) read more

Only pluses to this place are the relatively low price and. Ability to come as a walk-in. The massages I have gotten here have been lackluster. Everytime my therapist ends up Having conversations with other workers, will even walk away to do so. On my first visit my therapist was jabbering on his cell phone for half the massage. RIDICULOUS. Ive had a batter experience using the massage chairs at the mall read more
