I never write reviews, but this massage made me extremely uncomfortable. I've had many massages before and I know what's typical. My male masseuse spent an inappropriate amount of time touching and massaging my butt (probably around 70% of the "full body" massage). Multiple times while he was working on other parts of my body, he placed his "non massaging" hand on my butt as if it was a normal place to rest it. When he was "working on my lower back", he pulled my underwear down way farther than necessary. I considered saying something multiple times, but this occurred during a couple's massage, and so I convinced myself that surely nobody would intentionally touch me inappropriately with my partner 2 feet away. At one point in the massage, he moved to the front of the table and was moving his body in a thrusting motion towards my head as he worked on my shoulders. During this time, I could feel his...body...pressing into my head. Afterwards, I looked at reviews and saw reviews from women explaining the similar things happened to them. This is not a safe place for women to receive a massage. Please don't go here. read more

I had an amazing massage. Came to Davis with a couple of friends for a girls weekend and got a massage. It was so relaxing and I'm so impressed. Can't beat the price! I am definitely coming back. read more

I was given a groupon for a massage for Christmas. I absolutely loved the experience. The technicians were very good at their craft. They truly did not disappoint. I received a deep tissue foot and body massage. I will definitely be returning to this spa for more. For a pleasant and relaxing experience you should go to Zen Day Spa. 5 stars for sure. read more

AMAZING. I believe this is the best spot to get a massage in yolo county and most of Sacramento. Professional staff, clean environment and very affordable. read more

4 stars for ambiance and 3 stars for your massage therapist not knowing what psoriasis is and making me uncomfortable. The dude was just plain scared to touch me even though I explained what it is and that it's not contagious. Couldn't relax with that attitude. Also the chick at the reception is borderline pressuring into tipping. Sorry, I'm not coming back read more

I always go here after my sport practice. Something is about the masseuse here, they always know how to untie my knots and less sore

Amazing! Friendly staff! Good intensity for sore muscles. Definitely repeat visit!

It is extremely rare that I write a negative review but my massage was an unpleasant and concerning experience. The male masseuse, Mike, spent more time on my buttocks then I have ever experienced in past treatments. Similar to other reviews, he pulled my underwear lower than necessary and pressed his body against my head while working on my shoulders. I also had to ask 4 times for less pressure. I will not return and hope the issues with this person are addressed. read more

[UPDATED REVIEW: From 5 stars to 2] - I am wondering if I can get a refund for the $79 Yelp voucher I purchased. I do not want to go back after I redeem my voucher that was reluctantly given to me after a bad experience. Update 7/2/21: I should've waited a day to see Tom because I ended up with someone new, and I did not enjoy my message. I ended it 30 minutes early. I expected to be refunded half of the money, but I wasn't - I had to ask the manager for any condolences. They still made me tip $10 mandatorily and then did not offer any free voucher. I went back and told them I didn't enjoy my massage, and I had to ask if I could be credited for the half-hour to be redeemed later. They finally agreed, but they made me tip $10 on top of the $50 massage... when I did not want to tip a whopping 20 percent tip because I did not enjoy the massage at all. I would've tipped her $5 at most, which is already 10%. And now I have to come back and tip another $10 once I redeem my voucher for the other half-hour. I would not recommend the lady who massaged me today. She used too much massage oil and barely applied any pressure. I had to go home and immediately shower because she used 4-5 pumps of massage oil. Completely unnecessary. I did not get any relief at all. She just wiped my body up and down for 20 minutes. Not even 30 minutes until I asked her to stop. Like she didn't know what she was doing at all. The only person I will see is Tom from now on. Keep in mind: Tips are MANDATORY here. Doesn't matter if you didn't enjoy your massage. Hi manager, if you are reading this, please take the $10 I was forced to tip this person and apply it to my next massage with Tom. Or at least split the tip, so I don't have to pay $20 total in tips for such a messy experience. read more

I write from the perspective of a bodyworker for over 20 years who holds a high standard for what constitutes "a good massage." Before booking, I told the manager that I had just come off the mountain from backpacking and I would like to work with someone who knew their basic anatomy (I keep a low standard at these places) and who had experience. He kindly said "Yes, No problem!". Unfortanately, the person who worked on me was not well trained (Adi?). He repeatedly put WAY too much oil on so that it made it hard to actually do any normal massage. When he tried to do any type of muscle work, he twanged the muscles like a guitar cord because he had no traction. I literally took the towel, rubbed the oil off, and asked him to stop putting oil on me. I also was very specific about focusing just on my legs, not on my back, which was ignored. Most of his strokes were similar to applying sunscreen on someone, not actually massaging the muscle. Additionally, I paid for 1.5 hours and specified I wanted the front of the legs too. It was clear as the massage was coming to a close that they had forgotten "both sides of the body" (which is why I had paid for more time) so I reiterated yet again. Adi didn't understand English and so he had to get the manager to once again translate my requests which were supposedly stated at the start - to both the manager and the massage therapist. I was so frustrated at the ineptitude on most every level. The manager was kind and finally came in and finished out the massage himself. He had 2 years experience and was okay. I'll add, my boyfriend also got a massage and the woman who worked on him was scowly, and her massage was aggressive and unskilled, which means she was pressing really hard and deep across his spine horizontally over and over (not good form) which was so uncomfortable that he almost got up to end the massage early. Of note, he is a regular at less expensive Asian massage joints. and probably gets a massage every other week somewhere. He has never stopped a massage before it was finished due to it being bad and this was the closest he got. In summary, I would not recommend Zen Day Spa because I did not find their massage therapists to be manually skillful, they were not able to honor basic requests ("more pressure", "less oil", "both sides of the body"), they have poor communication secondary to the language barrier, and the management lacks honesty in the qualifications and capabilities of their staff. I gave it two stars instead of one because the aesthetic is decent and clean, the location is good, and the manager is kind and well-intentioned. read more

My friend and I just got a full body massages from this place and they are just absolutely wonderful. The customer service we amazing, and the prices was affordable. Honestly the best massage I've ever gotten; I didn't get their names but they were both good . read more

Zen Day Spa Davis - Massage Therapy Near Me - Davis, California

Thank you for my massage! It was amazing!! Very professional and quick friendly service. Got us in with moments notice! I had Eva she was great!!!! I'll be back. read more

So I'm a college student and I thought that I would end my year off with a nice massage. I came about five minutes early and the receptionist was very kind and friendly. She had told me my massage person would be a man and I told her that I wanted a women and she was very accommodating. I waited about 10 minutes for the woman to come and then started the massage. My massage ended at 50 minutes when it was supposed to be an hour. Also, like another comment said, the lady was like "TIP" when I was leaving. I was going to leave a tip and was happy with everything until she said that. I gave have her 5 dollars since I don't have that much money as a student and she just frowned down at it and looked up expecting more. I would have given maybe a four if it weren't for that last interaction. Honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that. read more

Very responsive in scheduling. There was a deal that I was not aware of on Groupon and the scheduler made sure I was aware so I could take advantage of it and ultimately pay less. The masseuse was very responsive to feedback and ensured I was never uncomfortable (you need to be okay with some discomfort if you get a deep tissue massage). Overall great experience and would recommend. I will probably visit on a recurring basis given how much my muscle pain improved. read more

I have had so many massages in my life and my experience here felt wrong and inappropriate. My masseuse ripped down my bottoms and had my bare butt exposed until I reached up to cover it. I have never had a massage where that happens. They usually move the sheets around to make the customer feel comfortable. Not to mention my partners masseuse was a male and hovering over me as well. I asked my partner about her massage without telling her about mine to hear her response and immediately said she was uncomfortable and he was touching her excessively and inappropriately. My masseuses named were "Mike" and "Olivia". I am still coming to terms with how awful and traumatizing of an experience this was. Please beware of this location. Incredibly unfortunate this happened to us. Please read other reviews and this is not the first time their customers have experienced similar situations. read more

Good service! Feels incredibly. Come if you have a busy day of work or exercise and want a relaxation

I called in for a same day appointment for a 30 minute facial and 1 hour massage - I am so happy I came here! Jenny was very attentive to the areas I wanted to focus on (neck, shoulders, and lower back), and checked in with me if the pressure was okay - it was perfect. I feel rejuvenated coming out! The appointment is true to time (1.5 hours for me), and the massage continued during the facial so it seems like even more than 1 hour or massage as well, which is incredibly nice. Will definitely come again when I am in the area! read more

Lucy just melted all my neck and shoulder pain away ! I highly recommend this Davis gem!!

Unless you want to be kneaded like raw bread dough, don't come here. My "massage"consisted of approx. 1 hour of over the towel kneading like dough. No lotion applied, just the friction of the crunchy towel over me. Finally, the oil arrived. With the amount oil poured on my back and arms, I thought I was prepping for a slip-n-slide competition or oil wrestling match for money. As my massage proceeded and my pores were getting clogged, my calf felt as if it got the happy ending we all so long for. After being greaser than Elvis' hair, it was time for the body scrub. I honestly didn't think I would have my tattoos when I opened my eyes. I was then instructed to go shower, as she lifted me up, wrapped my crunchy towel around me and I walked out to the hall of shame to the shower room. Stepping into the single person shower was like stepping into a lifted truck. Getting out was almost catastrophic, as its a jump to get down with barely any floor mat, which said mat was covered by another crunchy towel. As I reached for a towel dry, it was to my dismay the towel was the size of dish towel, and to no ones surprise it was crunchy. Instead of nice robes typically provided by spas, I was given the honor of a hospital grown as my attire. I opened the door with my new attire, thinking I might be greeted with a hospital hallway and an offering of fancy grippy socks. When reality stuck this was all real, I walked the hall of shame again, more than likely with a million microscopic abrasions from the tattoo removal attempt, I couldn't wait to leave. I cancelled the facial I had scheduled after the massage, as I didn't feel like having a visit from Hannibal Lector and I left. No happy ending here for me. Buyer beware. read more

I like other people also bought a Groupon for a couples massage at this place. What a mistake. Their management just changed so they made me ask Groupon for a refund and then repay them cash. Everyone was speaking a different language right in front of us, the 2 ladies doing our massage kept talking and laughing half of the time. One of them burped really loud minutes into the massage! Massage was done very aggressively and my back still hurts days after. I specifically asked for it to be a relaxing massage. Lady pressured us into upgrading to a 90m massage and they finished at barely 55 mins. Lady raised her voice when my husband didn't hear her say - Turn over! When they finished they just said- that's it, done! And left the room. Customer service is horrible and so is the massage. Never stepping foot in that place again. Waste of 2 hours of my life and $120 for useless painful massage. read more

Friendly staff. Nice rooms. The problem I have with this establishment is that they're taking advantage of people by giving less time during the massage. You have to pay attention to the amount of time that they give you a massage. When I booked my appointment I stated that I wanted a 30 minute microdermabrasion facial and an hour massage. The lady that did my massage and not realize I was timing everything she did. She gave me a 30 minute massage and a 25 minute facial. For some reason, I was very keen on checking the time that she started and finished each process. I was very disappointed and the fact that I received a basic facial and my time was cut and have for my massage, so I went back into the establishment after I left to complain. I was not given an apology. I was simply asked well what would you like for me to do regarding this issue? A partial refund would be nice I stated. I received 10.00 back, and paid 109. Which included 10.00 for heated rocks during my massage. I was told that was the best she could do and was told the manager was at the other location. I was not even given a receipt for the service I had received. So my advice to anyone reading reviews on places I would strongly advise that you to pay attention to the amount of time someone is giving you a massage that you're paying for. I paid cash for the service. read more

Great massage, and felt really relaxed afterwards. Helped relieved tension in my upper back. Had both the full body massage and the foot reflexology. read more

Most amazing massage of my life. Worth every penny . I bought on Groupon but I will definitely be back.

I purchased a Groupon from Zen Day Spa as a gift for someone. The appointment was booked shortly after purchase. When they arrived they were informed that they changed management and could not accept the Groupon. They could however purchase the service from them directly at a discount. Total scam!!! Looks like they have been doing this since 2019 as there are other similar complaints. read more

The Sea C facial by Jenny was incredible. Towards the end of the facial the front desk staff were speaking loudly but it did not last long. Very unassuming--yet amazing! read more

Usually don't do reviews but I felt played. I came in w my sister and my sister said her experience was okay but me he kept walking out the room. Also left for about 10 min. For sure not coming back here read more

Freaking amazing, went in for a couples massage and they do not mess around. They find a knot and they work the crap out of it and work your body. I feel completely rejuvenated and didn't know I needed this. I'll be coming back next month. 10/10 read more

I was looking for a couples massage. Of course I read the reviews before going here. I kind of didn't know what to expect after reading the reviews. I booked the massage online and it was on a holiday day so I called to make sure they got my reservation, and they did. I also got a text confirmation a day before so I knew I was good to go. I showed up 15 minutes early. The place is clean and I was welcomed, along with my partner. We were shown into the couples room. Everything was totally fine with the 60 minute massage. We had zero issues. We were done and walked out of the room and I wasn't sure if I should just leave the cash on the two beds for the tip because I was not sure if a different person cleans the room. I walked up front and told the girl I wanted to tip both of the ladies and she said no problem and took my cash and said she would take it to them (one girl was up front getting us water so she saw the tipping taking place). We walk out and had a great rest of the day. I would return. My wife isn't a huge massage fan so it will be hard for me to get her back, not because of any issue with Zen, but she just isn't a fan of massages. I'll go back for a 60 minute and maybe even a foot massage. read more

Great spot! Had a 60 min body massage and 30 min reflexology. I am prone to stress knots on my upper back, and Eva is the first masseuse to help relieve the tightness with firm pressure. read more

I went there to get a 90 minute full body massage. It was a horrible experience. I usually dont write reviews or do anything of this sort but I just wasted my money on that "massage". For 90 mins, she just kept on rubbing my back back and forth until it was raw. No massaging through the muscle or anything. And then she left for almost 20 mins in the middle of the massage to get a "towel" so basically i had less than a 90 min massage. Another was the complete inappropriateness and aggressiveness of the masseuse. She multiple times was so aggressive hitting my head with the towel trying to "fix" it. Another was her pulling down my bottoms multiple times and also aggressively fixing the blanket making me suffer from slips here and there. I felt like it was so inappropriate. After that, they wouldn't let me leave until i gave a tip. When I finally did, she wasn't satisfied with the amount i gave and gave a scoff and rolled her eyes. This was extremely disappointing read more

This was my second time at zen day spa. While check is always confusing, the service is amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed our couples massage. read more

Wanted to get a last minute facial and this was the only place that was open so I decided to try it out. I wanted an acne facial but it turns out that this is more of just a relaxing facial/massage. I was confused because there was only a dim lit light in the room so there was no way she could see my face. She didn't do extractions which is basically why I wanted a facial and just some chemicals. Don't go here if you're looking for a real facial only massages. read more

I came here the other day with my fiancé. We had the couple massage. It's the best massage I got. The ladies asked how much pressure I want for the massage. I said go deep as you can and she did. My whole body feels a lot better after that massage. The ladies there did an amazing job.I also did the cupping therapy. It was fantastic. I highly recommend this spot. I'm definitely coming back here. read more

****BIZARRE EXPERIENCE ****First time getting a massage ever. Appointment was scheduled for me by my friend for my birthday. Wasn't sure what to expect. Get undressed and under the sheet, waited a little bit. "Massage Therapist" comes in; no introduction, no run down as to what was going to happen, just begins roughly handling me over the sheet and then more than once proceeds to straddle the back of my head so that basically her vulva is on the back of my head/neck while working on my back. My anxiety at this point is through the roof and I'm uncomfortable for the whole appointment. Like what the hell was I even supposed to say?!? I came home bewildered and asked my friend that scheduled the appointment if that was "normal" to which they quickly informed me it was not..... honestly unless you're into a strangers coochie being on the back of your neck I wouldn't recommend. read more

Had the one hour massage and foot reflexology today. Superb! Perhaps the best massage I've ever had; so many masseuses use such weak pressure. As an athlete, I was grateful for such a firm touch. I was so relaxed by the end and I will for sure be back again! read more

Took my gf to Zen Day Spa in Davis for our anniversary & because she had never had a massage & facial before. I didn't want to take her to a chain massage place. I saw that they had a Groupon & so I called. The man who answered the phone told me to bring cash & that they would honor the Groupon rate. We were running a little late coming from Sacramento & I informed them of that. They were accomodating. When we got there they wanted to be paid up front which was kind of awkward & different then other massages I have had but okay we paid. They took us in the backroom. The massages were okay. The man that did the massages was kind of rough but I needed it. Wish they would have spent more time on shoulders. Not sure what the lady put on my face for the facial but my face felt filmy & weird after. When my gf got her facial the lady pulled out & lost her nose ring which she now has to get repierced. Not only that but after the massage was over we were planning on tipping & before we could give it to the actual people who gave the massages there was a man with a language barrier at the front desk saying "tip tip tip" like he wanted us to give him the tip. It was super strange, awkward & unprofessional. He kept asking for more money which I think is very rude & left a bad taste in our mouth. For one the tips should go to the people who did the work & two you don't get to tell someone how much to tip. I found that super rude & I never do Yelp reviews but that interaction inspired me to make one. Definitely left a bad taste in our mouths & won't be coming back there again. $160 wasted & wasted time of our lives that we can't get back. Do yourself a favor & go somewhere else with better manners & customer service! read more

If you buy the Groupon, you will have to get a refund and pay the owner again. Not worth the money. Also mediocre massage.

I got the deluxe package as a gift and ended up getting the full body massage, reflexology foot massage, and body scrub. All 3 were amazing especially the body scrub and foot massage. My masseuse was very professional and sweet and explained everything she was doing. I was a little anxious after reading some of these negative reviews, but the whole experience was nothing but great and I left feeling refreshed. Will definitely be back! read more

So good! I got the massage here a week ago and it was so good! I will come back again!
