The space is always pristine, from the fresh linens to the calming atmosphere. While every provider is professional and skilled, Kelly is my go-to. As someone who requires very firm pressure, our sessions have become truly therapeutic. She has developed a deep understanding of my physiology and knows exactly what's needed to get my body back to 100% through incredibly deep tissue work and fascia manipulation. A quick heads-up: the walls aren't floor-to-ceiling, so you can occasionally hear ambient noise from the hallway. However, it's a minor trade-off and very typical for similar boutique spas in the mid-peninsula. In terms of cost, prices are consistent with the area -- not the lowest, but a great value given the quality. I have never had anything less than a stellar massage here, whereas other local spots can be hit or miss. If you want consistency, this is the place.

Jade was able to point out that I favor carrying my backpack on my right shoulder just by feeling around my sides which blew my mind! I felt super comfortable the entire time and Jade was so welcoming, considerate, and patient. She adjusted her pressure as needed and shared tips on how to address certain areas of my body that were feeling pain or needed attention. I am now making an effort to carry my backpack on my left shoulder (or both shoulders) to even things out. Thank you so much for alleviating a lot of my back pain and tightness from just one session, I'll be coming back soon with hopefully even sides from proper backpack carrying (:

I don't recommend this place…read more 1. I didn't like it because they didn't rub the parts where I placed that I wanted the massage. 2. I asked for a gentle massage but all they did was stretch me and touch certain parts of my body, no oil was used but on a few occasions. I asked for a massage not to touch several parts of my body. 3. I understand if the staff is already tired and has no breath to massage you. 4. I don't understand why they give you the sheet, if where you put that you want the massage they don't give it to you, why do they want to know if I liked the massage, when I put that I hadn't liked it, the receptionist started yelling at me, that if I wanted a massage I should pay for the strong massage, and I replied that I wanted a soft massage, I don't like it strong, but I wanted a massage, not just to be pressured. He didn't like my opinion and didn't let me continue, because he started making a fuss about all the staff. 5. The receptionist is not trained for her position, because she does not accept constructive criticism for the place. They have a lot to improve, if I recommended this place the truth is not. One is going to get a massage to leave relaxed, not stressed by the reception staff. I don't blame the girl who gave me the massage, because I understand that we all get tired. Hire a person trained in reception who knows how to do their job and is kind.

However, the atmosphere in the room is typical with soft spa music, dim candle light, comfortable tables and a cozy room that may put you to sleep like me. Upon arrival, Sunny checked me in with smiles and was also my masseuse for my Swedish massage. She hit all the right points and made sure I was comfortable by asking if the pressure was too much or the bed temperature was good for me. I really enjoyed the minimal use of the light unscented massage oil she used. Before I flipped over, hot towels, more massaging and hot rocks were placed on my back. This was different for me, but I thought it was perfect. It warmed up all the areas she massaged and and removed most of the massage oil leaving my back soft and moisturized without an oily feeling. There was also some stretching done with my arms, legs and neck area. One finished, I felt relaxed, loose and ready for another gym session of lifting! The prices are extremely reasonable as the focus here is on the massage not all the fancy, aromatic things and decor. Booking online is very easy also. This is a great massage joint and definitely the best bang for your buck around here!

Shirley is very talented, has very strong hands and has a deep understanding of the body. She was able to get some of my deep knots to the surface by massaging other parts of the body. I booked a two hour deep tissue and she definitely delivered. The place is professional and clean, but note that it is not a spa. I don't think I'd come here for couple massages or a "luxurious typical relaxing" experience, I'd come here for a truly relaxing massage that'll help heal your body. Also, this is not a cheap foot massage spot if that's what you're looking for. I think this is actually the perfect spot if you're looking for a real massage. Would definitely come again!

I lost my last local masseuse when he moved from San Mateo to Portugal some years ago & never found a replacement. Let me start by saying Shirley's massage Studio is very peaceful with high ceilings, lovely decorative touches and is painted in soothing colors. The soft music she plays in the background is very relaxing. Shirley is petite, but very strong and her massage techniques really helped to work out some serious knots and kinks that I had been storing up in my body. I know she is trained in a variety of massage techniques, but I requested a 90 minute, very deep one & she delivered. Not only was the massage phenomenal, but the additional touches of hot stones, as well as hot towels used to soothe & then remove oils as she finished each area, we're unexpected and contributed to the lovely experience. I will most definitely be back in the near future. Thank you Shirley!

You start off online, deciding what package you want or what type of session. When you arrive at the location it's all the way in the back of the salon slightly to the right. M'lis greets you as you enter her area and is immediately very warm and inviting. She will talk you through what the process is, she will inform you that everything is up to you! How much pressure you want, to what degree are you comfortable undressing and what areas you may want her to focus on VS what areas are off limits. She then gives you a mini tour of her room where soothing music is playing. She will tell you where you can put any/all affects for the duration of the appointment and she will step out so you can undress and lay under the sheet she has provided. She will then knock and ask if it's okay to enter and from there she will get to work! My problem areas are my lower back and staving off carpal tunnel. I let her know this when I initially spoke to her and she definitely paid close attention to those areas! I chose medium pressure but if it's your first time I would suggest light and if you're comfortable asking for harder pressure don't hesitate to be vocal! Overall this was my first massage and now that I know what to expect i can know exactly what to ask for for next time!
