It is no frills, but clean and my best friend had the owner, Linda. She raved about her as well. Linda was lovely when I called to make the appointments. She was not pushy at all. I actually heard about the place when I was in line at a place on Fillmore and the lady talked about how great the place was (that you can ask for anyone) and they really got into her shoulders. Very affordable and I will be purchasing the package. I didn't have any weird experience re: the tips. I tipped on the full price even though I received a discount, and bc David was so great I tipped greater than 20%.

The place is small, but clean. I appreciate that they were able to give me a last minute massage, but.... Problem is the actual style of massage. I personally felt like every inch of my body was beaten to within inches of life. I'm talking very intense deep pressure and periods of punching. I've literally NEVER experienced anything like it. For context I've been getting massage since 16y...a longgg time. I'd say if you are looking for a professional, but extremely physical massage this place would be a solid 4, but if you're looking for a typical western style shitźu or relaxing massage this isn't the place.

My husband wanted to do a couples massage but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg, and I found this spot - wow, it is sooo worth it! We booked a 90-minute couples massage for $190 total (excluding tip) and it came with cupping and hot stone. The couples room was pretty much a makeshift setup with curtains, so we could hear everything happening outside near the reception area - but that didn't bother me since the staff were very quiet when checking people in and I was just super zen and relaxed to even care. The massage itself was amazing! The space is clean, calming, and relaxing. This is definitely a place to check out if you want an amazing massage and don't care too much about the whole spa/frufru experience.

Once you check in, they'll hand you a laminated chart where you can circle what areas you want targeted or avoided during your massage. This is the first massage place I've been to that does this, and I love their attention to detail in that regard. It's respectfully sensitive to people who may have invisible disabilities or injuries. This massage was heavenly. From someone who has a lot of tension in their neck and hips from working remotely, the masseuses here are godsends. I got the 60-minute deep tissue massage, and they timed their work really well. You lay on your back, and they start with light massaging over towels to warm up your body then go in with body oil, hot stones, and cupping. Then you'll flip around, and they massage your scalp and face. All of the tension in my body melted away. The overall facility and rooms are really clean. The individual massage rooms are on the smaller side but comfy. They're dimly lit, but you can still see where you're stepping and placing your items. I almost forgot my watch, and one of the lovely ladies working here brought it back out to me. Heads up that they give you a discount when you pay with cash. My 60-minute deep tissue massage was supposed to be $70 but ended up being $65 because I paid with cash instead of card. I recommended this place to my friends in the area, and they all love it as well. I hope to come back soon!

Bliss-LESS Spa I got…read morea YELP message about Bliss Spa's Grand Opening Special: $20 for a 60 min foot massage! It sounded TOO good to be true, so I decided to check BS's reviews. There was just one, which looked sketchy based on the content and the Yelper's profile. But, I forwarded the info to my gfs and we thought for the price it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I called on Sat 4/3 and was easily able to make an appt for three for Sun 4/4 at 3 PM. After our Xiao Long Bao fix nearby, my gfs and I headed to BS. BS has no signage but a yellow banner that says, "Grand Opening" with a lit-up Foot Massage sign. We had no expectations, but were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. BS is very clean and had leather coaches and a set-up of facial cream items which put us at ease that it was legit place. We opted for the $25 massage, which consisted of a 40 min foot massage, 15 min head massage, and 15 min shoulder/neck/back massage. Our appt time was 3 PM, but the actual massage didn't start until 3:20 PM. Here's a breakdown of the process. 1. We were escorted to a room with two leather recliners and were brought tea which was lukewarm, borderline cold. 2. Wendy, my masseuse brought a wooden bucket of water for my feet to soak in and walked off for 10-12 minutes. My gf and I found this odd as normally, they work on other parts of your body while your feet soak. 3. When Wendy returned, she dried off my feet and preceded with the foot massage which was painful, but felt good at some times. She kept on pressing on my big toe, which was painful and made me squirm. She told me to relax which is difficult when you are in pain. She spent most of the time massaging my toes and the arch of my foot. She used very fast strokes which made me more tense at times than relaxed. Also, she wore plastic gloves and didn't use enough lotion, so it felt like plastic rubbing against my skin the entire time. 4. After about 20 min or so, Wendy proceeded massaging my calves which was again painful because she was using the force from her thumb and pressing against my shins the entire time. 5. Wendy then reclined the coach and had me turn over for the head and back massage. She started with the head massage which felt like she was scratching my head as opposed to massaging it. This lasted for about 5 min or so. 6. She then transitioned to the neck/shoulder/back massage which was NOT relaxing. I felt like my back was being "waxed on" and "waxed off" and the pressure was very light (like a light pat). I found it weird b/s she had used a lot of force and pressure when she was working on my feet and calves. Also, the back massage wasn't consistent; i.e. she would pound the left side of my back and not the right side. AMBIANCE: BS is very clean and the rooms (6) are split in half by a partition. The rooms were freshly painted white and had grey carpet. The entire time, I could hear footsteps from above which we thought were the residents living above. However, when we left, we noticed there were no windows on the second level; ummm, so where exactly was that noise coming from? PRICES: *Introductory prices of $20 for 60 min foot massage, $25 for a 70 min foot/back massage, $35 for 60 min back massage and $30 for a facial which are good until 4/15. Prices are $10-15 higher after 4/15. OTHER SERVICES: BS also offers 4-5 different type of facials like for anti-aging, acne, and deep pore cleansing, and body waxing. PARKING: Since BS is located in the Outer Richmond, it's relatively easy street and metered parking. If it weren't for the price, I would have given BS 2 STARS b/c the massage was inconsistent in pressure and motions which left me more tensed than relaxed. But, I can't really complain much because sometimes you get exactly what you pay for.

Is a 0 star possible? If it was, they'd receive one…read more.. Fellow yelpers, I am warning you about this place. My mom and I had a deep tissue body massage. I bought one of those groupon deals, and NO WHERE did it say it was only 30 minutes. But whatever, I'll let it slide. When we get there, I decide to make it an hour and she says sure, $20 more ... no problem; that's still a decent deal. The massage was not what I wanted. It was too hard and they never asked if I was okay or I wanted it softer. Here's the worse part, my mom had the same treatment and her back is (literally) black and blue. She is straight-up bruised. So NOT cool. Anyways ... when we were done, we paid and tipped them $10 each. All of the sudden the woman who did my mom's massage starts talking in Chinese. We couldn't really understand her, and the woman who massaged me translated saying, "She says she thinks you need to tip her more". .. Uh, WHAT THE HECK? Who asks for more tip!? Luckily we didn't have any more money. We told her sorry, I don't have any more cash and she says, "Don't worry, when you come back, you tip me more." We smile and leave. My mom and I turn to each other and say, YEAH RIGHT.

Upon meeting Wanda, you instantly feel comfortable around her. She is one of the most caring people I have ever met, and this comes through in her body work. The thing I hear most when people comment on Wanda is that she "has a great vibe." This is so important for a massage therapist, thus making a relaxing experience all the more enjoyable. To top it off, she has a rare sense of touch and feel. For this reason, she gives an amazing massage. She's the best I've ever experienced..... especially her head massage technique! read more

Madds is very attuned to the specific needs of my body at that moment in time and seems to know exactly what to do (using different techniques) to work through my tension. I've had problems with rounded, hunched-forward shoulders for as long as I can remember and Madds has helped me a lot with opening up my chest. Not just through her bodywork (though I can always feel a measurable difference after seeing her), but she even went out of her way to suggest strategies I can do on my own to address the issue. Her prices are very reasonable and she is flexible about scheduling. She has a portable massage table so she can even come to you! I could not recommend Madds more highly. This is not your standard spa massage where the practitioners just go through their scheduled program on your body or where the masseuse doesn't seem to "get it" (too light or too heavy, not focused on the right areas). With Madds, you'll get a massage that is customized for your body and your needs, and you'll walk out feeling more relaxed, loose, and open than you ever thought possible!

She is a miracle worker and by now 1.5 yrs later is my friend. Her cozy and modest studio on Divisadero is artistic, warm and inviting, and Lisa always greets me with a big hug (and smile, but we now conscientiously still mask because I interact with aging parents). She is a natural energy healer and personally has an amazing combination of gregariousness and quiet competence. From the beginning I trusted her and felt at ease. I often move into the alpha state as she massages my belly, or last year my arms and hands and neck because I suffered a bad case of tendinitis for months on end. She can tailor your session to what aches you and is trained in a number of modalities, so I would trust her implicitly to select what has the best chance of reducing current stress or pain. I keep coming back to Chi Nei Tsang, because it is so rare a practice competency (and almost impossible to find a dedicated professional with lots of experience) - and I love it! It could work with any GI issues which I have in spades and tho my life long issues have not been entirely solved, they have been eased. She has been with me every step of the way, reducing my stress over it. In fact, my Kaiser gastro doctor recommended the CNT practice to me! Try it!
