returned to Zen Spa again today because, after working very hard for a few days, my body felt very tight. The massage therapists here are extraordinary and highly professional; they left me feeling deeply rejuvenated after a 60-minute massage. I am very grateful to Zen Spa Massage in Thousand Oaks, and I will return soon. Thank you very much. Again to take good care of me, I recommend it 100%. read more

Zen Day Spa - Massage Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

OK English on phone, $60 for one hour. I saw "Lili", who was pretty good! Hard is quite hard, I had to retreat to Medium so she wouldn't tear my head off. Room was really nice, plenty of space, and a sink to wash hands in the room was helpful. The place was clean and quiet. Really enjoyable. Thanks! One last thing: You need to pay the fee up front, but it's all good. Folks; tip $20 on the $60. Don't be a punk and ask for $5 back or whatever calculator baloney you are cooking up to piss these people off. read more

I had an amazing massage with Lily at Zen Day spa yesterday. She understood what I wanted and I left there feeling amazingly relaxed. That exactly what my body needed after 2 weeks of hardly getting any sleep .I gave her a generous tip. One thing to keep in mind if you go in during busy lunch hours, the rooms on the left are sharing the same wall with Mexican restaurant next door. I was there at noon during the restaurant busy lunch hours and I could hear customers talking but Lily was very kind to move me to a room on the right side which was very quiet. I used to visit Zen Day Spa monthly for years but for some reason I stopped. I am going to start my routine again and ask for Lily. The place is very clean and everyone there is very nice. read more

I should have paid more attention to previous reviews. This is not a day spa in any traditional sense of the word. I booked a same day couples massage. The first tip should have been when the person who booked said they preferred cash. When we got there, we were put in a "room" right in the front with a curtain and half walls. We heard people talking and coming and going throughout our massages. Definitely not relaxing. The second tip off was that we were not asked to fill out any forms or asked about any problem areas. We asked for deep tissue and what we got was not even a therapeutic massage, much less deep tissue. Third tip off was that the sheet used to cover and drape was the size of a pillow case. Seriously, it was clear that they were not going to be concerned about proper draping. And sure enough, during the massage, we were not covered appropriately. My bf said that his "therapist" spent way too much time on his ass and touched his nuts more than once. The massages themselves were the crappy kind that you might get on the beach in the Caribbean. More touching than massaging. Afterwards, we both said that this is the kind of place you go for "happy endings". And we both have different reasons for concluding that. During our massage, 2 men came and went and they both got the private rooms with walls and doors. Maybe coincidence... If you are looking for a real massage, take it from 2 people who are experienced clients of massage as a therapy, stay far away from this place. read more

I had about an hour to spare and decided to give this place a try. First impression, wasn't amazing. The masseuse didn't speak English, so communication was a little tricky. I asked if I needed to take off my clothes. She didn't understand my question and then left the room. She came back and was confused why I still had my shirt on. She motioned to take off my clothes. She then stood there while I took my bra and shirt off, which was super awkward! The actual massage was basic. It was super distracting because my room was right next to the Hispanic restaurant next door, as they were blasting their music. I just couldn't relax. At the end, they were tip hungry and asked me to tip more! Feeling obligated, I over tipped. Sad to say, I will not be a returning customer. read more

To be honest, not my favorite place. I was disappointed. I love getting massages and I'm usually open to any place that has great reviews! I was willing to try this place out, but instead I left annoyed and not relaxed. The massage didn't even feel relaxing nor did I feel comfortable whatsoever. My room was right near the bathroom and I kept hearing people flush the toilet each time going to the bathroom. How unprofessional? At least turn up the music in the room to help me not hear that... I also felt like I was laying In unwashed sheets . Yikes, Sorry guys won't be returning back. read more

Horrible experience. Don't even get me started on the hunger for tip. Lady who did my massage never asked about the pressure, most of the things she did hurt more than felt good. The lady who did my boyfriends massage didn't know how to speak proper english and made him take off his underwear when he had just asked if it was okay to keep them on. Don't go here. read more

I'm so glad I found this place! I've been her 5 times in the last month and will continue to come here for massages. Everyone seems very nice, I have tried Alice and Lily and they are both fantastic. The shop is clean and quiet. Definitely recommend. read more

Be cautious about who you get for a massage. I've had great experiences here before, but last night's massage was the most painful one I've ever had. The masseuse didn't speak English, so she couldn't understand any of the directions I tried to give her. When I asked for a lighter touch, she simply started lightly stroking my back with no pressure. When I requested more pressure, she used her elbow and forearms to dig into my bones, without targeting the muscles at all. It was incredibly painful, and now I have bruises on both shoulder blades. When I tried to explain that her repetitive movements were hurting my shoulder, she misunderstood and started working on that area even more aggressively. At one point, she put all her body weight on my knee cap, and I had to quickly move my leg to avoid further discomfort. It seemed like she had no understanding of human anatomy. Additionally, she completely removed the sheet, which made me feel cold and uncomfortable. I almost considered ending the massage prematurely. After coming home, I had to apply ice, take an Epsom salt bath, and sleep for ten hours in an attempt to recover. My back is still very sore this morning, and I feel like I've been beaten up. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this place, which is a shame because another masseuse I had in the past was really good. read more

My Husband and I came here for Father's Day and had a great experience. My husband said it was the best massage he has ever had. We are new to Thousand Oaks and this will definitely be our new spot! read more

My husband and I had a couples massage. I was glad to know that a proper tip is $20 to $25. It was clean with a tiny hint of bleach. I like that. We were given a very nice massage for only $50/person. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Love this place best massage in Ventura County. Great for couples massages and private room. I am a biology premed student and they know their anatomy well. read more

They moved to new location. Been there since 2015, this place is the best massage shop in T.O.(more than 20 shops) Always clean and quite, also provide perfect massage. read more

If I could give a negative star I would. This place does some shady Sh*t. I had the most uncomfortable massage of my life! Not going into detail but I feel violated. Sheets smelled and the ladies doing the massages live there behind the curtains. read more

Great value and would definitely return. My teenage son, husband and I all had great massages. I agree it seems the tipping scale is different than other places I have been and the expectation is $15-20 tip vs. a percentage. Very good massage for the price. read more

Great service, great massages. I recommend making an appointment before walking in. They are pretty busy. I also want to add that they have private rooms for parties of one but if you want a couple massage, they have curtains as the dividers. read more

First time was good, hence why I came back. I called saying I'd be there 1:30, arrived at 1:35, they started around 1:40. Was asked if I'm paying cash (which I had done the first time) but I conveniently left my wallet at home so had to use credit card this time. Somewhere it was decided (I'm guessing since I was paying card) that my massage would now be only 50 minutes and not a full hour as it ended at 2:30. They also conveniently automatically added 40% tip making a $50 massage cost $70 when using a credit card. Why not just charge more and leave it up to the customer to tip? I'm not a cheap tipper, but as other reviewers point out, it's just such a shady business practice. Sorry if it inconveniences you that I paid with a credit card this particular instance but don't short me in time. And when I asked about the stamp on the business card she was super rude and said no no that's when you pay cash. I wanted to rip the card in front of her bc it's useless and I won't be back anyway. I'll happily pay much more elsewhere because it defeats the purpose of getting a relaxing massage if you end up walking out annoyed. read more

Masseuses here are very capable and the place is very clean. I've been here several times and the last two times the masseuse hustled me for a "good tip" while massaging me. Furthermore , when I didn't tip what they felt was sufficient, I got a bit of attitude from the front desk lady. I always tip well and don't appreciate the hustle, it cheapens the experience for me. read more

Nothing worse than being bullied for a better tip after what is supposed to be a relaxing evening. Tips are given at the discretion of the customer and should never be asked for. The massage was ok, but I left feeling annoyed and embarrassed tonight and I won't ever go back here. I wish I'd spent my evening doing something else. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Very clean. Very professional. Can't beat the $40 price for an hour massage. BE SURE TO TIP AT LEAST $20! The staff deserves it!!! Better than going to the usual foot massage places for $20 an hour. This place is worth the extra $20 for the full massage. read more

This is the best massage place I have ever been to and will ever go to. A full body massage is only $50/hour - such a good deal! I have gone in at least three times, and the masseuses do a fantastic job. I always feel very relaxed after. The masseuses are professional and have always made me feel very comfortable. I could not recommend this place more. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is absolutely the best massage business in Thousand Oaks. You can go and spend $250 plus at the four seasons and still not get as good of a massage. Now this is a real massage, deep tissue and really good pressure. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the place is very clean. Ask for anyone but my favorites are Amy, Lily, and Ana. One hour massage for $40!!!! read more

The best place in town for a real relaxing massage. My husband and I walked in for a couple full body massage we got a room right away. They were so sweet and professional. I need more pressure on neck, back and my feet (I stand on my feet all day at work), she listened and did what I asked. My husband and I both enjoyed it. They even massaged my scalp and my face. It was amazing! We will be coming ba! If you are looking to get a great massage, this is the place! read more

I had a really good massage here this time and will be going back however I did not like the masseuse mentioning a "good tip" and then not being grateful for the tip they got that was 50% of massage cost read more

Zen Spa is a great spot. You should definitely give it a try. Its clean and very nice. We were walk-ins and were taken immediately. We both enjoyed our massages very much. The girl that I had didn't speak english very well but seemed to understand what I wanted. She dug in and got the places that were bothering me. Unlike some other places in town, I got a decent foot massage, too. Some of these places do great on the body but then just do 1-2 minutes on the feet, this time I got at least a 10-15 minute foot massage. I don't know why there aren't more reviews. Its a great place and I think you should give it a try! read more

I had a wonderful experience the last two visits. I am having lower back pain and the massage by LISA B. Was wonderful. I called a couple hours before and I was greeted right away. I am definitely coming back! read more

Went to Zen Day Spa tonight. I had a very good massage! For the price, this is a great place! The decor is nice, everything was clean, and the ladies working there are friendly! We were greeted immediately and led to our rooms. No upsell at all! They just ask how long of a massage you want. For the full body massages they have individual little rooms, with 4 walls and a door. The bedding & towels were soft & smelled nice. There is even a little sink in there so you can wash off if you want. They do wipe you off with a warm towel, so it's not really necessary. The massage was wonderful. She asked how much pressure I liked and she stuck to that the whole time. I left feeling so relaxed! I will definitely be back. read more

Walked in, no wait, good prices, nice staff. Great massage. 10/10 would let them massage me again.

I've been going to Zen for a few years now. I got my first massage there and never wanted to go anywhere else after my first visit. They are absolutely amazing. I just went in today to their new location and it is beautiful and spacious. The lady was perfect. She walked all over me and massaged me with her feet. You get literally a head to toe massage, front and back. I like it hard, and it was hard. She found every knot in my body and worked each one out. The oils they use are also wonderful. I believe it was a Jasmine essential oil and I smell so good right now. It is a huge stress relief and so relaxing. The prices are absolutely reasonable. $40 to $50 for a full body and full hour. read more

This place is absolutely great! Staff is nice and accomodating for last minute appointments. I always leave here feeling refreshed and relaxed. read more

Massage was ok. Nothing special so I don't see myself returning. I had some tight spots in my neck and back but the masseuse just went past them. She didn't try to work them out. It was relaxing enough for me to fall asleep though. read more

Went here for a massage after seeing they had 4.5 stars, and they were able to fit me in on walk in basis. The massage itself was eh, at best. Similar to Massage Envy in terms of quality. What really got me was the masseuse who argued for a higher tip (I had already tipped 20%), because I was "really tight." She proceeded to overcharge me anyway. Won't be going back. read more

Great massage. They took very good care of me and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend you check this place out

I am giving this place a 2 star review based on my experience with the masseuse. I love getting massages and get them at least once a week, so I am not new to the massage scene. This was my first time visiting zen spa as I was near the area and wanted a massage without having to make an appointment. The massage itself was good but what turned me off with this place was when I went to pay, I offered the masseuse a 20% tip, when she heard the offer she put her head down and started shaking her head and proceeded to argue with me regarding the tip and how I should be paying her more. I told her that a 20% tip is what is customary to which she replied, yes for restaurants but not for a massage. Well I didn't want to sit there and argue with her so I ended up paying her a few extra $$ to just end the conversation. I'm not sure if she is the owner or one of the workers but I found this behavior to be extremely rude and unprofessional. The owner should have a conversation with her staff regarding harassing customers for more tip. Needless to say I will not be returning to this establishment. There are many good massage places around this area that are professional and appreciate your business. read more

I have been going here for years and must say they are the best around! All of the employees are lovely and can accommodate appointments on short notice. I won't go anywhere else! read more

So fresh and so clean clean! The girls are awesome & really listen to your specific requests. My massages are always excellent and the environment is very...Zen read more
