Online Booking - their website was easy to navigate…read more Location - building was easy to fin even if the name small, and they have ample parking. Area was pleasant and near other businesses. Walked to get coffee and went to the CV market after the masaage. Service - Mei, the owner, was so pleasant to talk to and she explained that they moved here not long ago from a previous location. Ana, my therapist, was also nice and skilled. She was consistent on "hard" pressure that I wanted. She may speak limited English (or maybe just polite not to converse a relaxing client?) but she understood me when I told her my problem areas. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. Additionally, the price is the average in the Bay Area. Will recommend this place to my family.

My husband and I decided to finally schedule an overdue couples massage…read more The lobby was clean and relaxing. The wait was not long. Both massage therapists did not speak English. It was ok because we were still able to understand each other. However, there were a couple of times during the session where they would walk out- which made my husband and I wondering where they went- we didn't know what to expect. The first time they left- they brought hot stones- the second time- they brought hot towels. I didn't expect a deep tissue massage. I felt it for a whole week. If you do get a discount if you pay cash.

I am a frequent customer of Health Day Spa and truly enjoy coming here. I have my favorite people,…read moreand they have a good group of massage therapists offering different types of massages and package deals to accommodate a variety of needs and preferences. I appreciate the reasonable prices, find the spa clean and nicely set up, and enjoy the convenience of ample parking, including two designated disabled parking spaces conveniently located up front. Jennie, the owner, is very nice and always does her best to accommodate my appointment times. However, I have one significant concern that keeps this from being a five-star experience: the lack of a consistently quiet, peaceful atmosphere during massages. Loud conversations among employees are a common occurrence, and customers can also be quite loud when entering the spa, checking in for appointments, or asking about availability. Conversations often carry throughout the space, disrupting the relaxation of customers who are already receiving massages. This is an issue in both the front room with the massage chairs and the private rooms in the back. In the foot massage area, where the reclining chairs are positioned side by side, continuous conversations among employees while performing massages are particularly distracting. I would like to see these conversations kept to a minimum unless they are directly related to the massage being performed or something that requires attention in the room. Customers come to relax and enjoy their treatments, and ongoing employee conversations can take away from that experience. A quieter environment would allow everyone to fully enjoy their massage. I would really appreciate a stronger emphasis on maintaining a quiet atmosphere throughout the spa. Posting visible signs reminding both employees and customers that massages are in progress and quiet voices are appreciated would be a great start. Perhaps a gentle reminder of spa etiquette could also help everyone be more mindful of the peaceful environment that customers come to enjoy. Employees could keep conversations among themselves to a minimum and speak quietly, while customers could be encouraged to lower their voices upon entering and checking in. These small courtesies would make a meaningful difference for everyone. I have asked for quiet on several occasions, and employees have been respectful when approached. I appreciate their cooperation, but customers should not have to interrupt their own relaxation to request the quiet that should be part of the spa experience. A spa should be a place of peace and tranquility. Quiet should be the standard, not the exception, and maintaining that atmosphere should be a shared effort. I enjoy Health Day Spa and want to continue coming back. With a greater commitment to reducing noise and creating a consistently serene environment, this would absolutely be a five-star experience for me.

I love Health Day Spa. They offer affordable, quality massages and the environment is very warm and…read morewelcoming. I like to get their 100-minute special, which includes a 40-minute foot massage to start and ends with a 60-minute body massage. I noticed they specialize more in acupressure massages so if you like strong massages, this is the spot for you. Ask for Jane or Andy - they're amazing! To avoid a credit/debit surcharge, make sure to bring cash!

Lyn is one of the best massage therapists in the Bay Area. I heard about her from a local yoga…read moreteacher and then checked her out on Yelp and saw so many happy clients and great reviews. Lyn does more than give you a massage- she goes into conversation with your body and responds accordingly. I suffer from sciatica and lower back issues and she knew exactly what to do to help me out. After 90 minutes on her table, my pain was gone. For deep tissue work, she GETS IN THERE and you have to be willing to go there too if you're looking to release the big knots that build up over the years. She instructs you how to breathe through it when she's in the hard spots, and I actually felt an emotional release during the massage. Feelings can get trapped in your body... that's a fact. I didn't even tell her about that part, but she's so intuitive she knows when her clients are clearing stuff out. If you're a massage afficionado (I consider myself to be one), you know the difference between GOOD and GREAT. Lyn is GREAT. There is one pretty insanely negative review on Yelp that sounds like someone who is unfamiliar with great massage or spent the entire time on the table critiquing... I'd completely ignore that if I were you. Lyn is a salt of the earth kind of person who is skilled and empathic. If I had ten thumbs, I'd give her ten thumbs up. :-)

She is mobile and available nights and weekends can't ask for more ! She is top tier and has been…read morein business for over 20 years

I had gotten great massages here before COVID. Today was the first time returning there in over a…read moreyear. A pretty, petite gal around 30 yrs. old who said that her name was "Bobo" attended me. I paid for the table shower and a one-hour massage for $70. After the shower, I waited around in the massage room for about 15 minutes as she attended to other clients that entered the business. Finally, she came into my room and tried to explain to me (in broken English) that she was so busy that she wouldn't be able to do the massage(?). Instead, she offered to refund me $20. I told her that I was not in agreement and desired to have the hour-long massage that I had paid for. However, she denied that request, pretended not to understand my English, and refunded me $20. So, basically, I paid $50 for a shower today and didn't get any relief for a very sore lower back. I'll never return to "Chinese Massage" again. I don't recommend that you risk getting played either ;(

Worst experience ever! Called in for an appointment but when I got there they told me they were…read morebusy but I reminded them that I have an appointment. So the receptionist told me to go to the room and change. I ask if the bed was just made because it look like somebody just used it so she went out and got me some towel and change the sheet. So if I didn't complain I'm gonna use the old sheet that's have been used. I laid down then the receptionist came and did my massage. I feel that she just practice on me. The worst part is there was this other costumer that had their kids with them and I heard the kids talking for the whole time I was having my bad massage. I don't usually write bad review but I just don't want other people waste their money to this place specially when you want to have a quiet relaxing time.

Just had my first experience yesterday with Massage Envy Castro Valley and it was good. The front…read moredesk staff is friendly and welcoming, the ambiance for being in a strip mall makes for a nice oasis amid some chaos outside, and the facilities are clean and well maintained. Overall a really nice experience. My massage was well performed and addresses all of my needs. Now, the one area for improvement was the general demeanor and approach of my massage therapist who was cooly professional, but nothing more. When he got me from the lobby he asked "How are you today?" while walking away from me. I replied, and then asked him and got no reply. He then did my pre-massage check in, and then told me he would leave so I could undress but told me to keep my underwear on (This will be important later). Once I was positioned, he retuned, assured me that my add on treatment was present, and then in silince attended to my massage. Once he got to my legs, he realized that my under wear was now in his way and had me sort of turn my boxer briefs into a pair of briefs. Now I'm fine with keeping my underwear on, but once on a table laying on them, trying to relax, having to figure out how to roll and bunch them in a way that is comfortable for me was a challenge. That resolved he finished the massage, and at time said "Okay Timothy, that's time." He then asked if I would like some water and left. No inquiry into my enjoyment, nothing. And let me be clear, I get that this is a transaction, and there is nothing technically wrong with detached cold clinical professionalism, it's just a tad more warmth and genuine curiosity would have made the experience a five star over a four star. Luckily, the front desk staff asked a some great questions after and have now scheduled my next massage with another therapist. Looking forward to many repeat visits.

Using a certificate from a Xmas gift. Great service and the…read moremassage was excellent. She hit all the pressure points. Came out relaxed. Wished they could offer a membership for quarterly instead of the monthly subscription. .....perhaps maybe...
