Don't be fooled by the creepy parking, creepy lobby and creepy hallway - this place is a gem! As soon as you open the door to the waiting area of Whispering Day Spa, you can breath a sigh of relief, because it's decidedly NOT creepy - it's calm, relaxing and clean! My facial with Jalah was exactly what I needed - she even pivoted from what I initially signed up for because she knew a different treatment add on would be better for my skin (which it absolutely was, because I have no business booking random things I don't know about), even though the add on I booked would have made the Spa more money. This level of personal care, even if it costs them a few bucks, is why I'll absolutely be a repeat customer! read more

I had an amazing facial with Jalah. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She has incredible hands and such a gentle touch--my facial was both relaxing and rejuvenating. Jalah is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about providing a wonderful experience. My skin felt refreshed, glowing, and looked amazing. If you're looking for an esthetician who delivers exceptional service and creates a peaceful, enjoyable experience, I highly recommend booking with Jayla. I can't wait for my next facial! read more

LOVE this place 5 stars for all the services I have gotten. I first came here for a pregnancy massage and got Kat who was amazing. She really listened to my needs and I had the most relaxing experience without it feeling like just a "soft pat" like I had with other maternity massages. I went back to Kat after I had my baby and MY GOODNESS it helped me feel so rejuvinated after carrying a heavy belly all those months. Since booked my husband with Kat and he likes really deep massages and he said Kat did AMAZING at getting his knots on lower back and neck. For facials I have been going to Jayla as a returning customer. She is so knowledgeable and educates me on my skin needs and care as she is going through everything which I really appreciate. The experience is always so relaxing, rejuvenating, and something I look forward to every 2-3 months for my "me time". My skin has also been feeling and looking much better: more even, smaller pores, and brighter. 1000% recommend! read more

The customer service I received via phone and in person was professional and timely. The facility was clean and staff was experienced in their service area. Parking- PARK- across the street from address where you see CVS. It's paid parking $25-35 (free for only 45 min CVS shoppers- shop fast!!! lol!!! Free parking is no longer available in the structure due to new building management in shared space. read more

My friend and I treated ourselves to facials and massages at Whispering Day Spa for our birthdays last month. It was a bit difficult to find at first, but if you go, the closest parking is at the CVS across the street. The spa has a nice, calming atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. We made a little celebration out of it--my friend brought a charcuterie board for us to snack on, and we even brought cupcakes to share with the staff. The services themselves were relaxing and enjoyable in the moment. That said, given the price point, I was hoping for a slightly more elevated experience. Overall, it was a nice way to celebrate, just not quite as memorable as we expected. However, I would not say I wouldn't go back. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I'm a big fan of spas and skincare and this place was impressive! tons of attention to detail, super knowledgeable friendly staff, incredible services- including a salt room which you will want to live in. 10/10 read more

I really wanted to like this place But the vibe was pretty off and their were some mixups in our times and service causing us to come another day . The next the vibe was off and although staff were friendly the service was subpar Response to owner comments : Yes you did give enhancements but that did not make up for subpar service . I was really looking forward to the massage but it was very subpar for me . I am not speaking on my mothers behalf . And you can feel free to call either one us as she too thought the vibe was weird . We go to plenty of spas and know what we like thank you ! read more

Kat was a fantastic massage therapist. I feel so much better! Will definitely be back

I had the best massage with Kat and would highly recommend her. She had the perfect pressure without me having to ask for an adjustment, but I liked how she made sure to ask if her pressure was ok after she started the massage. She knew exactly where my body needed more care - pecs, shoulder, back area and concentrated mostly on these areas which I appreciated. She is a pro and I will definitely book another appointment with her. Thank you Kat! read more

Absolutely incredible . Booked morning of... they honored our service requested and performed the best massages . Both Maria and Ronald were incredible . The vibe and atmosphere was so radiant and welcoming too. Thank you. read more

I booked a massage with Jairo. He was very professional and the service was excellent. I asked for more focus on my back and i felt all my knots disappearing. I would recommend and come back! The salon over all was beautiful. read more

Possibly the biggest disconnect between outside appearance (an unassuming, generic-looking building with a number of businesses within it) and the quality within, that I've seen in a long, long time. The massages here from Kat and Ronald are easily some of the best in San Diego if not all of the USA. I've had easily over a thousand massages in my life, across different countries, cultures, languages, and yeah, these two are still *that* good. On top of that, the facial I got completely cleared up my face. Honestly felt like some sort of black magic got cast on my face and sucked everything out of it, regarding both Cindhy's exfoliation and the quality of the tools/devices they used to do so. Do note though that, while they DESERVE this much money for their services and if I could go back and choose to buy their services again, I would, it's worth that and more, the place IS pricey. Definitely a "once every few months" treating yourself thing for most of us, but well, well worth it. read more

Best spa ever. Whispering Day Spa is hands down the best spa experience I've ever had. Liz has completely transformed my skin. it is the clearest, healthiest, and most radiant it's ever been. Her knowledge, precision, and care truly show in her results. I trust her completely with my skin. She's been my go to for the past 2 years. And Ronald... he has a truly magic touch. His massage work is next level. He has his own technique that is unbelievably healing. It's deeply relaxing, intentional, and incredibly effective. You leave feeling reset in both body and mind. The atmosphere, professionalism, and quality of care at Whispering Day Spa are unmatched. If you're looking for real results and an exceptional experience, this is the place. Highly recommend. read more

I have a lot of back and neck tension often, but I see Kat once a month and always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. Her style of massage feels both therapeutic and relaxing, and it's always easy to communicate exactly what I need. All of the staff here are very nice and so accommodating. read more

My wife and I have been coming to this spa for many years. It is absolutely amazing. It is clean, peaceful, and therapeutic. Lizbeth's facials are everything and leaves your skin like glass. If you have any ailments or pains, Ronald is sure to fix you. He is extremely knowledgeable, and will do wonders for your body. I also recommend athletes to see him. I literally do not go anywhere else! read more

Hands down the best message. I highly recommend Ronald Johnson. Incredibly skilled, taking the time and great attention to detail. Book the 80 minute massage!The atmosphere was relaxing and overall a great experience. A truly relaxing experience and I'll be back! read more

I've been here twice. My first visit was absolutely wonderful so I came back for a second visit to have a massage/facial combo package. The massage was absolutely wonderful, but then the facial. The woman who did it was the owner herself. It felt a little rushed, like she was covering for someone else, and she admitted she wasn't in her usual room. I told her going into it that I was concerned about redness in my face. She then proceeded to do an extremely painful extraction in a place I'm not even sure had anything, leaving me with a cut and stinging wound. Two days later and it looks worse than ever. I called to complain and they said they would call me back- never did. I understand sometimes faces can be red after facials but this is a wound that with my skin will most likely scar (I'm prone to scarring). I'm very disappointed and upset and now trying to cover it with makeup which stings. The least she could do is call me back to apologize. Also she disappeared after her service, usually they wait for you and walk you out, I think she knew she messed up and was hiding. read more

Whispering Day Spa - Waiting room - Day Spas Near Me - San Diego, California

Upon entering, I was first surprised at how small the space seemed. From looking at pictures, I had envisioned a much bigger space but hey, we are in an area of prime real estate so I get it. Anyway, Heba, my esthetician was awesome and I had a very positive experience. I got the Dermaplane & Oxygen facial and it was the best and most thorough dermaplaning I've ever had. Every other time I have gotten dermaplaned, the esthetician took a quarter of the time. Heba was so thorough, informative, and professional. She stopped to ask how I was doing several times and then prepared me before each step. She even told me to raise my hand if I needed anything so that she didn't cut me by accident if I moved fast while she was dermaplaning. My skin looked great afterwards and the facial room itself was very comfortable and relaxing. Since it was my first time there, after my facial I wanted to see the place a bit so Heba showed me the relaxation room. It had these awesome looking chairs in it and I would definitely go early to take advantage of that if you are getting a massage or body treatment. TIP: This day spa is on a corner on Fifth and you would take the long white stairs up to enter. I was lucky to find street parking but I imagine on busy days/times, it could be difficult to find parking and you'd likely have to pay for metered parking. It's above a cute, new pottery studio that opened recently as another tip to find it. All in all, I had a positive experience and I would definitely go back for a much longer facial and/or massage. It's not a big space and it does not have a sauna or steam room or anything like that, but between the relaxation room and the treatment rooms, you will be sure to relax. read more

I have been coming to Whispering day spa for the last three years and have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say! Liz is an absolute magician when it comes to facials! She has done wonders for my skin. The massages and the ambiance in the entire place is really amazing! Definitely recommend!!! read more

A friend and I flew out to San Diego to have a relaxing weekend away and the only firm thing on our schedule was our appointments with Whispering Day Spa. It was such an amazing experience! Everyone was kind, we got facials, massage, and foot soaks and all of them were absolutely perfect. It was the perfect balance of personable and still relaxing. It's a small family owned and run business and well worth it! read more

I've never had a facial before but knew that I wanted to start taking care of my skin. I had my facial with Jalah and she helped me in choosing the right facial for me and made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She walked me through all the steps and I had never felt or seen my face so clear and glowy following the facial. Definitely a place I would recommend and will be returning! read more

Did the couples massage and it was fantastic. They adjusted to our own individual needs. Highly recommend.

My friend booked this place for a bachelorette and we all had a wonderful experience. The staff welcome us to their waiting room that was personalized for the Bride and it was very Instagram worthy to take a photo. We were offered mimosa and had a fun time taking pictures. We were all split into different services time slots but after when we were done, there was a relaxation room with crystal beds that we could lay on and wait for the others. I had a female massage therapist who did a Swedish massage on me and I felt so relaxed during the massage. I forgot her name but she made me feel comfortable throughout the experience asking me how much pressure is ok for me. Overall, it was a nice experience for my friends and I. At the end, we felt really relaxed and enjoyed our services. I would recommend this to anyone who's planning bachelorette parties, birthdays or any celebration to make an appointment here. read more

Whispering Day Spa is beautiful, and had a 3 hour treatment (heavenly package). Pros- ambiance, lots of treatment options, crystal bed chairs, robes, insta-fun rooms fun for couples/friends. Average- the massage I got was ok, and the facial was relaxing. Unfortunately I reacted to the lip balm even tho the products were said to be sensitive (had plumping and peppermint additions in the lip balm). Cons- parking was expensive and ranges between 20-50 for 2 or 10 hours (nothing in between). For a 3 hour service (I paid 40). Meters have a 2 hour limit. Admin systems need improvement . We had issues checking in and out which killed the zen feelings. It took 30 mins to check out and the right price for the service would not come up as listed in the package deal. Wasn't a great way to end the experience. read more

What an incredible experience! I got to visit during an open house and it was pure magic. Upon walking in, you think to yourself...wait what area am I in? It was GIVING luxurious, upscale, chic spa. The spa is very large for its location. Roomy & spacious. Clean & relaxing. Good energy. A big shout out to Liz, not only was her voice so soothing, she was thee friendliest & most helpful as she went thru everything the spa offers and even did a free skin exam for me. I got to put my face into this high end machine/device and it did a scan (almost like an x-ray) really freakin cool! We then discussed in details the problem areas and what we can improve. Also, the importance of SPF and protecting our skin. The spa just felt like pure relaxation the moment you walk in. The lavender & eucalyptus aroma that fills the air, the relaxing music and the sparkling cucumber, kiwi water was just absolutely delicious. GULP. I immediately got so excited to book a future appt on the spot, I was like SOLD, sign me up. Liz went over all of the skin treatments they offer and my skin was just screaming to get pampered. I signed up for DERMAL PLANING - Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. It promises youthful, baby soft, smooth skin. All of the products that they use are out for you to see, I am certain they use the best top of the line quality ingredients for your skin. Your body will thank you! Yay, I got to go home with samples in my goodie bag. Love that! Gabby was such a gem, literally, her crystal bed sessions seemed like something my crystal loving body craves. Her room was pure bliss, definitely a vibe with the black light and mood lighting. APPT: 04/15 - Pending review of that day and the service I receive so stay tuned ****** Yay! read more

Had a great Swedish massage yesterday with Scott! Would highly recommend and look forward to going back!

What an amazing experience. I came here on my staycation just to relieve stress and anxiety. I got one of the packages where it included full body massage and facial a foot soak a glass of champagne. My skin feels amazing. Super smooth no bumps or ridges. Amazing. The massage was very relaxing, medium light pressure and the atmosphere which is very welcoming and inviting. I would definitely return. read more

Lizbeth has been an angel, I needed to book 2 massages for my daughter and son in law. She was not able to find room immediately, however she kept in touch with me and made it happen. A much needed break for them both before the wedding, and the son in law was celebrating his birthday! Kudos for excellent client service! read more

my sister and i attended their open house at their new location & it was an amazing experience! we were greeted upon entrance and found the space to be very cozy with plenty of seating. their services include skin analysis, facials, red light therapy, and massages which we got to try. liz is so kind and knowledgeable; i would definitely look into their acne bootcamp + 10/10 would recommend to others. thank you for hosting such a great event! - hydrafacial: the esthetician (heba?) was gentle and our skin felt plump + not red/irritated afterwards - red light therapy w/ emily: she's so sweet and even used red light on my hands during the main session - stretch session w/ scott: very thorough and relaxing; my legs and shoulders felt great after - chair massage w/ gabby: simply amazing and like the previous session with scott, my shoulder and back immediately felt less tight; she has just the right amount of pressure! read more

I would do zero stars, because I don't think this place is in business anymore. I tried contacting them several times via email and phone, and no one ever called me back. Strange, because it let me leave voicemails, but the phone number has no business greeting, so...? read more

I have been visiting Whispering Day Spa regularly for over 1.5y and cannot recommend it highly enough. I had never been a big fan of facials but got a gift cert from my nephew and thought I'd try again. I've never looked back! The service is tailored to my skin's needs at each visit and I've seen huge benefits. Everyone there is wonderful, and they've done a great job with the new space to make it a relaxing oasis in the heart of Hillcrest. I strongly encourage locals as well as visitors to make an appointment and experience it for yourself! read more

I had originally scheduled for a bundle of a Swedish massage, foot soak, and a facial. The foot soak and the massage were great, but the facial was canceled. Starting with the foot soak the aroma was great And I felt very relaxed. The water was a little warmer than I would have like, but I chose to keep it. I appreciate Ronald asking if it was comfortable for me. The massage was much needed and so wonderful. Ronald was amazing. I left feeling relaxed, stretched, and and Just better than when o came. The ambiance was peaceful as soon as I walked in and the whole time I was there. My facial was canceled due to the tech having an emergency. I appreciate her for letting me know a head of time. Over all Ronald was 10/10. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because I called regarding my appointment, left a voicemail and still never received a return call. Also; on the website, from what I could see, there is no way to update the appointment, but you are expecting to cancel 24 hrs in advance or you get charged 50%. My question is how are you supposed to cancel or change anything if you can't get a phone call or make changes on the website. read more

From start to finish my experience at whispering Day. Spa was amazing! As a plus size girl... Spas can be a little intimidating... From start to finish whispering day spa made me feel nothing but comfortable, safe, and accepted. Ronald was my massage therapist.The massage was amazing! His stretching technique is rock solid and I was moving so much better afterwards. He took extremely great care to ensure that not only was I was covered at all times, but that I could feel my bits were covered at all times. It made it so easy to give in and just relax while he worked on my really tense muscles. I felt respected, protected, which made the experience that more enjoyable. The robe they provided was snuggly, warm and huge! Which made me even more accepted. My facial with Eva was delightful. Unfortunately, I fell asleep, and she had to endure my snoring! But I couldn't believe the way my skin looked as I left the spa. Liz has gone to great lengths and thoughtfully provided everything needed to ensure a safe and welcoming day spa for everyone. I'll be back! read more

What an amazing experience! Planned a batchelorette party for our bride, and the spa did NOT disappoint!! The atmosphere was so relaxing, and they even personalized the rooms for our bride! From a custom welcome sign, to a custom photo shoot spot for the batchelorette party, they did not disappoint one bit! Our party was split into two service time slots, but the amenities offered for the ones not getting serviced for the hour were impeccable. We got to relax in a zen room with crystal beds and mimosas. Cindhy checked us in and continued to make sure everyone was comfortable from start to finish. Ron and Serious were amazing massage therapist who make you feel pampered. All in all a great experience especially for a larger group event! read more

My synergistic therapy (120min) massage with Scott was EXCELLENT! He found my trouble spots very quickly and devoted most of the time to loosening my knots and tension. I prefer a more firm deep tissue massage and this was exactly that! Athough, if you prefer a soft touch he will cater to that as well :) I felt very relaxed and calm in the massage room - essential oils, music, and heat were on point. I will definitely be back! read more
