    I had a very relaxing pedicure with Deanna today. My feet feel and look great! Much quieter atmosphere than Deanna's previous shop.

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!

    I have been visiting Health Day Spa usually once a week for about five years…read more My go to person lately is Susan. She provides exactly the massage I request. Swedish massage, medium, not too hard. Most massage spas offer soft, medium, or hard pressures. I prefer soft to medium. That's exactly what I ask with Susan and that is what I receive. If you want a hard deep tissue massage, I'd recommend Carmen. She's very experienced and knows exactly where your pain or discomfort is, and believe me, she will definitely get your pain out. Depending on your pain, depends on how much pressure Carmen will put on you. Two different times, Jenny (the owner) performed Thai massages on me. She does not offer that massage. She only performed Thai massage because I have been going there for years. Omg, that was so painful. However, when I walked out, my body was like jello. At that time, I didn't live far away. I was able to drive home and fell right to sleep, waking up totally refreshed. Today, Susan worked on me. I always get a 90 minute massage, which costs $98, plus I give 25 to $30 tip. That's just me. My tip is giving extra thanks. Today, though, I caught myself snoring twice. I love Health Day Spa. It's dark, always quiet unless a guest is talking loud. There's soft relaxing music playing. As I have mentioned before, everyone that works there does not speak English well. I suggest you speak slowly and clearly, or use your Google translator, as I do. Jenny, Bill, and maybe a couple other employees will understand English. I have also mentioned, if you want a happy ending, go somewhere else. Health Day Spa is 100% legit, with trained massage therapists.

I typically request very hard pressure. Unfortunately, most masseuses will understandably tire out before 30 minutes and then they coast through the rest of the session. Not Bob - this man kept that very hard pressure I so desperately sought throughout the session and he put all of his energy into my treatment. He was communicative and ensured I was comfortable the entire hour. Honestly? It was one of the best massages I've ever had. Bob, if you're reading this, I sincerely thank you for caring for me today, and I look forward to seeing you sometime soon!

No shoes...super weird. The locker room is standard. The facilities are simple, a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. I got the 1B package. It consisted of a body scrub, facial, hair wash, milk treatment and massage. It was a 1 hour and 30 min session. This was the unexpected part. Not used to being completely nude. And nude you are. To use the hot tubs anything you are nude. The services were also unexpected. The pressure used to do the body scrub and massage was way too hard. Every time I asked for lighter touch or to avoid an area she would laugh and swat my hand away. Maybe that's what a Korean spa is and how services are done. t was painful and not that enjoyable. Which is why the 3 stars. I will say my skin has never been soft though.

    First time here on a Sunday. My mom comes here for her massages with therapist, Ada. I recently…read morepulled a muscle so I thought I would give this place a try. I called on a Saturday afternoon to book for a Sunday appt for 2 people. We showed up on Sunday & there was a miscommunication so our appts were not in their books. Bummer. They thought we were coming the day that I called. Uh, wrong day. The person over the phone sounded really unmotivated. It was hard to understand him also. My spouse spoke mandarin to him to do the booking. So if u call to book, PLEASE MAKE SURE you are clear over the phone WHICH DAY you are booking for. They eventually found an available female therapist and I went in a room to get started. After 20 mins, they were able to accommodate my spouse for his massage. They made it happen and I appreciate them being flexible. Here goes my detailed review: AMBIENCE: First impression - BASIC. Nothing fancy here. The rooms have walls that DO NOT connect all the way to the ceiling, so what that means is that you might get to hear ur neighbors talking during your session. The room is nothing but basic, no bells or whistle, no fancy candles or aroma smell, no dimmed lights either. Bed and a chair inside with some hooks on wall. It's not a zen place here. It's a place to get ur kinks and knots out on ur body. There was spa music that plays in there tho. Let's be real, it's no Napa Valley spa here. You get what u pay for. CLEANLINESS: It felt clean overall. Head rest on bed had a disposable sheet for you to lay ur face in. I can't guarantee they change their bed sheets after each guest but I hope they change the flat sheet that is under the blanket tho. I also assume everyone keeps their underwear on under the sheets. PRICE + MENU: Affordable. That's why I decided to come here and try it out. I did the $65 an hour full body massage. See my price list photo for more pricing info. They also offer foot massages too or combo. Pay cash is best here. They charge extra $2 for each credit card transaction so keep that in mind. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Good. I will come back and try again. My therapist, Amy, seems polite. No one rude or anything there like other Yelpers mentioned. At least I didn't encounter anything too unpleasant while I was there. My therapist spoke cantonese so it was nice to communicate and feel she understood my needs. She got all the knots I needed to get out from my shoulder. Just know that at the end of ur sessions, most asian massage places will use HOT towel to wipe u down completely after they lotion you up during ur session. Some might think it's a weird process if they are not used to asian massage places. So just keep that in mind. It's like they just gave u a towel sponge bath lol. Me and my spouse both got the full body massage, total cost was $130 ($65 each). We paid about 25% tip. In total we paid $160 cash. That total price is pretty much what I usually pay at the Equinox Spa for a 50 mins massage for one. Of course, there is absolutely no comparison. It's like comparing a Bentley with a Honda Civic. Not fairly comparable. But like I mentioned - "what u pay is what u get". I think my $65 was VERY WELL spent. My therapist took off the pain I had so it got the job done. I do recommend trying it out here if you are just looking for muscle relieve in an affordable way. Not a place I would send someone a gift card or anything. But I'll be back again when if I run into any pain issues again. I took off one star for the shady ambience and also the questionable bed sheets on whether they changed it out (or not) after each client. But as for the interior decor, they could definitely use some help. A remodel would make it feel more welcoming. It's just really dark inside, nothing fancy at all. It gets the job done. Go give this place a try

I thought that was odd but we paid for it. We were sent to a room with my friend and I together. When it was time for our massage, my friend received a Swedish massage and my masseuse was standing on top of me. The whole time they were talking during our service. I was confused why my lady wasn't doing a Swedish massage but I let it go. I wasn't in the mood to say something. They were giggling and whispering loud throughout the session. When we're done it was time for us to leave and we gave them cash tip. The lady who I tipped raised her voice on me and demanded more. I told her that's all I had. She gave me the worst attitude and stormed off. Please do yourself a favor, there are better and professional places than this. To me it felt like they don't care about the service they provide for their clients but focused on the money. It seems like a lot of people experienced bad service here. Also the lady who stood on me for my massage was a big back so I had difficulty breathing at some parts of the massage. And she was the one who kept talking and laughing during my service and had the audacity to pop off on me for not giving her more tip. Ridiculous.

    This was a life changing experience. I never had a massage before (which I'm not beating myself up…read morefor) and have dealt with awful lower back pain for years after I had my youngest son. I had my first ever massage with Tiffanie and yall.... No pain. After it was done, I couldn't believe how easy it was to get up and put my pants on. No pain, no stiffness. She has miracle hands. Like frfr. I'll be going back even if my back pain is gone permanently because the experience was just that amazing. I was so nervous at first, a bit insecure and not really knowing what to expect but Tiffanie was so kind and inviting. There was no judgement. She gave me clear instructions and made sure I was comfortable with everything. She also talked to me about the importance of taking care of myself and even advised on other things we can do for next time - like acupuncture and waxing (for my facial hair). And her music playlist is on point! Thank you to my mans for making me go for Mother's Day and thank you, Tiffanie, for your healing hands.

I almost always have to tell massage therapists to adjust pressure but Tiffanie's was perfect from the get go. I feel like she truly understands the art and science of massage therapy, especially given how insanely tense my shoulders have been. We shared several laughs about just how incredibly tense my shoulders were and she worked her magic. I have a ways to go to loosen the months worth of tension in my shoulders but my massage with Tiffanie was exactly what I needed after a stressful few months! I'm trying to incorporate regular massages for my own self care and mental health and I know I'll be coming back to HoHSpa!

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 ;(

I got the signature scalp treatment (1 hr ish) with Lisa, and my friend had someone else. Just an FYI - if you want to book an appointment at the same time with someone else, it's easier if you call them to make an appointment because if you book online, there's only back to back appointment slots. Price was $120-130 ish after tax, and you pay 50% up front and 50% at the appointment. When we got there, we took a quick hair survey and then got our treatments. This is different from those Asian scalp treatment places where they use a camera to show you your oily roots and blowdry your hair afterwards - so don't come in expecting that. Pros: - The establishment was very communicative when it came to appointment booking. I had a last minute emergency and had to move our appointment from a morning slot -and they were super kind and easy about this. - Lisa was super nice and professional! Talked me through what she was doing and I was so relaxed I think I even fell asleep for a little bit - The room had really relaxing lighting and music - Very easy parking. The outside can be very unassuming but google maps is accurate - My hair was so soft and nice afterwards and smelled so good - They gave me a free black matte hair clip afterwards, one of the nice ones - Fantastic scalp massage - Overall everything was super thoughtful and super clean Cons: - The only thing I can think of is to have a website that lets you book dual appointments at the same time, but overall not a huge deal. - I do kind of wish they would include hair drying as part of it, but I think that would make the appointment longer so I do understand why it's not included. But good to know if you're planning on going somewhere afterwards Overall, I LOVE that San Leandro has one of these places now (because I dislike driving to Dublin, the peninsula, or Livermore), this is so accessible I know I'll be coming back.
