in usa most of us believe in a good days pay for a good days work. these masseuses work hard on bodies sometimes for 2 and 3 hiours. this is usa. tip them well. i will go to swan spa again today because of the good work they do. especially amy. i will tip her well as she should be. dont give a hard working masseuse $20 gor a 2 hour hard massage and think its generous. this is usa. not a hut in tge phillippines. have class massage customers. thanks amy! read more

So glad I ran into this spot. Everyone is so nice and beautiful It was clean and I was tended to quickly. Which I wasn't expecting as a walk in. The prices are great. A steal! read more

Please don't go here. Worst, weirdest massage experience I've had. I immediately felt uncomfortable when the man up front thought it was okay to tell me I'm "really pretty." A compliment is one thing, but the delivery was really unsettling. As other reviewers have mentioned, the woman was inappropriate in the way she was touching. I've had a lot of massages, but I don't know. This was not the norm. I felt so uncomfortable and kept squirming away. Then she kept walking in and out of the room, just leaving me lying there basically naked except for the sheet on me. I felt so vulnerable. I asked for hot stones and she brought them out and burned my back. She was even panting because they were so hot she couldn't hold them. I had to ask her to stop because it was far too hot. My back is literally burnt. This was the worst massage experience I have ever had. I've been so stressed and painful and really needed a good massage today, but I'm more tense than I was when I went in. I even checked the room for cameras because I felt so uncomfortable with everything. Ugh. I need a shower. This place needs to be investigated. read more

Went in for an hour couple's massage. Was led to 2 separate rooms which was ok. I knew within the first 3 minutes this was going to be a waste of time and money. There was no method to the massage because this was not a trained masseuse. Best part was when she was done in under an hour so we can leave. My boyfriend right away asked me if my masseuse offered me a "happy ending" because his tried many times to touch him in parts that only a urologist should go. The best part was the demand for a tip! Here's a tip: this is not a massage place. Run. read more

Made my mom pay $30 tip for $60 massage. Stop scamming old people, improve your business ethic

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I am so upset with our experience. My fiancé and I were looking to get a 60 min massage. We just moved and use to go to another spot so we were looking for a new go to spot. First I thought it was the weirdest thing when they asked to pay first I already felt sketched out. Went back to the rooms, my experience was absolutely HORRIBLE they didn't even massage basically just dug her elbow in me and with no oil or lotion. Felt super uncomfortable & to add to the experience her loud duck quacking ringer was going off and she decided it was ok to have a full convo while the massage. Then when my fiancé came out he had the same experience and his lady kept putting his hands on her legs and he had to keep moving them away and tell her no. Made him feel very uncomfortable and upset. At this point he didn't even want to tip because he said it was a horrible experience. But we went to the front to pay and they had the audacity to yell at us when we were tipping 20% even with a bad experience and they asked for 40%!!!!! TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WILL NEVER GO BACK PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN! SHADY PLACE! read more

Came here for their hour foot massage for $20. They give you a cup of tea while you soak your feet in the warm water. Half the time was spent on my back and the other half on my feet/legs. Nothing too spectacular except for the fact that the lady who was servicing me kept telling me how tense I was and that I needed to upgrade to a full body massage to get the kinks out. She was trying to upsell the whole time!! I just wanted my piece, quiet and relaxation lady!! read more

Michelle, the original owner, has since left and handed over the business. The back rooms that were once devoted to foot soaks/massages have now all been converted to private massage/facial rooms. Since this handover, I recently had a European facial appointment with Lena. She was late for my appointment by 15 minutes, so the appointment carried over for 30 minutes longer than I planned. The facial quality was mediocre, it contained all the usual components, but each left me longing for more (since my standard for Swan Spa is the quality of Michelle's facial). - The pimple-popping and pore-cleansing portion was not particularly thorough, barely focusing only on my nose and around my hairline. - The hand massage comprised of pressing between my fingers and lotioning my arms and hands. - No complimentary eyebrow plucking/shaping. - Extra long final face mask step. - Answering the phone multiple times in the room while I was having my facial done. I may be back to try the full body massage, but considering the price of the facial, I'm now on the lookout for another facial place. read more

I feel compelled to write this review in hopes that the owner (or maybe the person there IS the owner!) makes some changes to the way they do business. First, the lady at the front immediately charges you the minute you walk in BEFORE your service which is odd. Second, she went on to charge me a 2 dollar fee for using my ATM card. I believe that is ILLEGAL in California. (I'm going to check on that). I have to say the massage was great, my therapist was very nice and did a great job (not very good at proper draping for a massage but many of these small places lack that) HOWEVER, at the end of the massage she was complimentary then proceeded to say that I was rich. WTH? Well then as I proceeded to get cash out for the tip, she said the tip was $30 and not $20. (Hence the rich comment to justify her next move?) MIND YOU MY MASSAGE WAS $90.00 so I tipped well above 20 percent. She proceeded to tell me that 20 percent was for restaurants. is this woman NUTSO?!!! Does she think I'm an IDIOT? I was so mad, I held strong and said NO. I said, "I pay 20 percent for great service and a tip is voluntary. This is not okay." She then took $10.00 out of the drawer gave it to the therapist and said she'd pay her for it. Okay sorry but your little bluff didn't work with me. I can totally see guests getting bullied by this woman. It's too bad. I work close to this area and looking for a place I can visit frequently. THIS IS NOT IT. I know how Yelp reviews can be detrimental to a business, but the owners of this place need to know what is going on. I hope you are able to fix this problem. Sorry but I'm not coming back. Wow. I am dumbfounded right now. read more

i've been a customer @ swan spa for probably over 3 years now. i was first introduced to the original owner Michelle by my sister inlaw. Michelle used to have her biz at home and her biz has gotten better and moved to a local shop, now the Swan Spa. i must say.. since the biz took over (Michelle no longer is the owner), the service has dropped. i believe the new owner is at her 20s which really caught me by surprise. the new owner is barely at the shop, even when she does, she is always on her laptop and or chat with her bf @ the shop front counter. that's a big biz no no!! but again, she's only at 20s.. no offense. i still get my facial done there by either Lena or Amy, but i miss Michelle very much.... i wish she's there... anyhow, the only reason i stayed is b/c of their diamond peeling package. the treatment works very well for me and i have renewed the same package pretty much since i started with Michelle. i just came back from facial today and saw a new face at the front desk counter..perhaps they switch owner again? i haven't seen the young girl for at least few months now and the new lady @ the front desk today looks more like a biz owner! i hope i don't need to look for another spa anytime soon but it's hard to say.... i might need to start looking else where but only if the new joint offer the same if not similar peeling package.. read more

Worst spa ever and I frequent several locations Walked in for a one hour body and the front staff said $50. A bit weird to pay before the service especially since I wanted to leave tip on the card. She then says I can leave tip now, how much. I told her make it $65 then and she kept pushing $70. Why do I tip 40% on a massage I haven't received yet. I said no $65 and then she said $100? Best massage ever in return. Wtf? Now I don't know if that's shady stuff but I should have left at this point but I really need a massage as my back was in pain. Spent about couple more minutes and I kept saying just charge me $65 and she finally said okay but said $2 fee (out of nowhere) so now I paid $67 Well, I guess I should have listened to myself because the lady who massaged me was terrible. I told her can she do it firmer and she said ok. That "firm massage" lasted about 30 seconds and literally was the weakest and below satisfaction massage. Should have listened to the previous customers review Gg swan spa read more

Worse massage ever. You have to constantly let them know what to do. Went in for a deep tissue, negative , they were soft and hard to communicate with. read more

Under new ownership. Terrific deep tissue massage with a little Thai type stretching thrown in. Clean and Professional facility.

Cathy the manager called me back right away after seeing the review of my bad experience here. She was very apologetic and told me the masseuse I had was new and she thanked me for giving her honest feedback so she knows what customer thinks and if some employees might be under performing. She also invited me back to get another free massage to make up for the bad one I had. She went above and beyond to make her customers happy. I will give it another try and update review. ---------------------------------------------- Worst massage experience ever. Right when I walked through the door for my appointment the front desk person which happened to also be my masseuse asked for payment first before service being performed. I thought ok maybe that's how they do it here. $50 for full body massage, more expensive than most Asian massage places..ok. Appointment was for 5pm, she took a while before she arrived into my room probably taking phone calls or what not so my massage didn't start until 5:05-5:10. Basically I had a massage for 30 min and the rest of the time she was just oiling/stroking my leg and arm with no pressure. Then she told me I was done, looked at the clock and it was only 5:53 or something. I got up to change and right when I opened the door she was outside awaiting her tip. She didn't say anything but kept looking at me. When we arrived to the front desk I asked if she had change for a $10 bill and she said no because they only take $10,$20 bills and gave some strange excuse etc...wtf...well good thing I had 5 $1 bills in my wallet, gave her that and she took it and looked at it for a long time with no expression then looked at me, I said thank you and she said thanks back with no expression. You expect a good tip when you start late and end my session early and barely massage me. Well I'm never going back again. read more

I considered a massage here. Walked in at 3pm on a Thursday. One lady was working. I asked her if she does the massages and she said yes. I asked if she was alone and if she works the front desk too. She said yes. I told her I don't like to be massaged while she goes back and forth to greet customers walking in and answers the phone. She then shooed me away with her hand and said "ok you go". As I made my way toward the door she muttered "stupid" read more

i am not sure about other services, BUT if you want to have your ACNE cleaned. HELL NO.... i go there only b/c it's 5 mins away from my home and i need an acne skin care so bad. (i have membership in another skin care located in SB but they don't have time that day). the lady who did my skin care has poor skills (if you ever went to another other skin care place and you will know the difference). AND!! F!! It left SCAR on your face!!!!!! big and lots scars on all pimple area she did... i don't know how they can survive with such a terrible skill!!!! i went back to my old skin place today and my skin care person told me she not only left lots of scars on my face, but fingernail marks!!!!!! s h X T!!! worst service that will also ruin your face which money can not buy back. read more

Went in for a massage on Sunday and left feeling satisfied. When I go to the spa, I spend a good amount for a massage and facial. Swan Spa is only $35 for a full body massage. Like the other reviews there isn't anything special like a sauna or a jacuzzi, just rooms with massage tables, soothing music, and a quiet atmosphere. For $35 she hit all the right spots! My shoulder and neck part was kind of painful but I kind of expect that. That's how I know they are good! ha So when I want a nice cheap massage that will loosen up all my knots, this is the place to go. I might have to come back and do this more often!!! The only down side is they only accept cash. Minus one star. :) read more

I used to love this place. For $35.00 an hour, it was totally worth it! I'd recalled one time I went there for a 3 hour massage, and the lady that massaged me was awesome! She worked out every knot and tension I had on my body, and I was feeling completely relaxed and happy...that was until I had encountered the bitchy receptionist, who was also a masseuse there...she ruined it for me when she kept pushing me to buy a massage membership, even though I had kindly declined - a couple of times while she was writing me the receipt... At that point, I had stopped going there, and are now in love with my new place :) Though, if you're still planning on going there....do bring cash since they don't take credit cards, and watch out for the bitchy receptionist/masseuse there... read more

This place is pretty run down you can get same quality of service in the SG valley for much cheaper price A disappointing establishment in Arcadia read more

[UPDATE 5/08] This place is now done to 3 1/2 stars from my initial 5 stars. One of the best masseuse is gone. Also, they have gotten rid of the foot mask at the end of the service. They are still cleaner than most, but not sure if it's worth the $18 now... This place is awesome and a great deal too. The facial is very good and not overly pricey. The only downside is that it's both a foot massage parlor and facial place, so you don't get that relaxing day spa feel that you would get at Ann Karen. However, it's also about half the price of that, so it's well worth it. I also love their foot massage. It feels much cleaner than other places in the San Gabriel Valley, and they also give you a "foot mask" after the service. I highly recommend this place for foot massages, but they also charge $18 instead of $9.99 or $15 that you would get on Valley. But, well worth it! read more

Absolutely amazing place, the massage was on point and the staffs were very friendly, I would come again and again. Definitely give this place a try. read more

See all

I'm so mad and stressed out by my experiences at this stupid place. First time I go there I call ahead and when I get there at the agreed time they turn me away because they took someone else instead. Who does that?? Then many months later after a terrible day and a lot of back pain I try again because it is a block from my house. THEY MADE ME WAIT 30 MINUTES, IN A ROOM, UNDRESSED WITH NO COMMUNICATION. When I finally speak up to the lady there she apologizes and says the lady who was supposed to work on me is late but is just parking. I should've already left but I was desperate for some pain relief. Finally this woman comes in and straight up refuses to do an hour long massage. She says it's too late but it's 830 and they have 1 hour until close. At this point I'm close to tears with frustration. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Oh did I mention it was sweltering hot in there and there was a very lively argument I got the great pleasure of listening to for 30 minutes, punctuated by periodic shrill yelling. read more

The 1-hour massage was only 50 minutes long where the lady kept going out of the room. When the massage was over, she DEMANDED $20 for tip. Don't know about coming back to this place. read more

I love this spa. Very relaxing and private. I get my eyelashes done here by Cathy the owner and she's such a sweet girl! I get massage done and i love semi strong massage and these girls really have hands to massage! Definitely my new go-to spot ..reasonable price also for eyelashes read more

im only giving this place a 4 star review because twice i went, those ladies who massaged me did a great job (well the 1st one tried to convince me she had to "massage" it off my hard shoulder and i walked out w the pain that lasted for a wk -_-...but she was trying to be helpful so i dont blame her). BUT the owner, on the other hand, or whoever was there at the store, needs to know what she's doing seriously. today was my 2nd time there (because i need to use the certificate my bf got me) and the lady there seemed confused abt something but she didnt specified what exactly before i went in for the massage. so after i was done, i came out and all the sudden there was something wrong abt the certificate because they couldn't find when it was sold, nor was there a date written on the certificate....WELL IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM! she should've called the owner when i was still in for the massage and figure the problem out instead of standing there asking other employees why does it not have a date on it and blah....-_- not the most efficient store huh...i was losing my patience before they finally called the owner and decided it's ok for me the use the certificate and told me next time it wouldnt' have worked....well...again...I DON'T EFFIN CARE! that's your problem not mine =_=....i know it's not a big deal but i was a little annoyed that i was being questioned and they were making a scene out of it when i just wanted to pay and go home already... read more

Look, I don't know about any drama about former owners or anything. I went there today for the first time and got a girl named Sara and she was awesome. I have a lower back issue and without saying a word she knew exactly where to attack. I left feeling incredibly loose and I made an appointment on the spot for the next weekend with her. Totally awesome, I'm happy to head back. read more

Love this place!! Clean and affordable and they take care of my back. I go here once or twice a week like clockwork! Highly recommended

Been coming here for 3 years now, my go to spot for reflexology. Little place but very quite inside. Everyone is very good, gives great back & arm/hand massage along with foot massage. $18 for 1 hour. I always leave %60 gratuity. My feet feel so amazing, light, & well balanced every time. read more

Had 1-hr foot massage. Great experience. Came out feeling so relaxed. William was accomodating to my request to do a scalp massage for a shorter feet massage. He did a great job. He had the right pressure as requested. Only $18. read more

Love this place, very clean, courteous staff and strong masseurs. Can't beat the deal of $40 table/body massage followed by a $18 foot massage! read more

Courteous staff and friendly. Been coming for foot massages. They massage you for 30 min then work on your feet.

Very convenient. Nothing too stellar. My wife got the foot massage for $18......The water in the bucket could have been hotter....

They are very cooperative about last minute massages, which helps me since my schedule is hard to pin down. Their hours are great - a lot of places close too early in the evening. The beds are comfortable (not all massage places are good for my neck). The Swedish massage I had was extremely relaxing and I think the price was fair, especially when it's easy to spend $100 at a local spa. It's not fancy, so if you want plush bathrobes and a lot of pampering, this isn't the place. But for a simple massage to get you up and going again, it's perfect. I want a place I can zone out for an hour, and it's pretty easy parking. read more

I love this place, it is so reasonable and the staff are all incredible. Mr Chang gave me the best treatment I have ever had, and since I am in the Day Spa business that is saying something. Michelle gave me a fabulous facial using Guinot products from Paris, very exclusive! My skin has totally changed since she turned me onto them. If you are looking for value without sacrificing great service, you should really give this place a try:) read more

Highly recommend Swan Spa. Big parking lot in the back. The staff is professional and caring. Pricing is reasonable. Facility is nice and spotless. Makes you want to keep going back. read more
