I’ve been taking my mom here to get massages for the past year or two and I can’t believe it was my first time meeting Demi! She is an amazing massage therapist and I wish I had met her sooner. She gave me the best massage I’ve ever had hands down. She is great at what she does and truly makes sure you’re comfortable. She’s extremely talented and I can’t recommend her enough. The rooms itself are clean and the service is always consistent. Garden Spa is a 10/10

Really great value massage!I have been here twice and I definitely see myself coming back. They have a variety of massages and add ons, including CBD oils, aromatics and more.Their basic relaxation massage was $95 but if you get massages often it might be worth it to get a membership for $75. This amount gets you a basic relaxation massage or can be applied to other services.I definitely recommend for couples massage

I had a long layover so I Ubered from the airport and had one of the best massages ever (and I’ve had a lot). I wanted deep tissue and Peter delivered! He was very, very good and my back feels so much better! Highly recommend.

The spa room was very peaceful with perfect lighting and peaceful music. As I got onto the table the table was slightly warm but just right.As the masseuse entered the room she asked me let me know if I put too much pressure or apply more pressure during the massage.After finishing massage the masseuse turned on the light and noticed that the light was too bright for me so she adjusted it dimmer for me.Overall I had a great experience here for my first time here I would definitely come back here again !!!

I have been here twice now. Both times the therapists were respectful, calming and reassuring. I have had deep tissue and relaxation massages, both were excellent. Therapists routinely check for feedback on comfort and pressure levels. Highly recommended!

I had my pre natal massage with Sheila S. Dint focus on the problem areas I mentioned, wasted/cut my massage time. Complained to the manager (whose english name was Kelly) and her attitude was even worse. Had no courtesy to accept the fault and dint even bother how bad our experience was. I never coming back and if you are someone looking for good massage experience, please avoid this place. Trust me, you will be disappointed here and that there are so much better places with the same price range that I have been to for prenatal massage. My husband had massage with Esteban and for him it really went well!

Had my first massage at Garden spa today and it was amazing! Tu really tailored my massage to match my needs and checked in frequently to make sure I was getting what I needed/wanted. It was a fusion of different styles based on my problem areas. He was very knowledgeable and explained why he did things or recommended certain things. When your masseuse is purposeful about their movements, you feel the difference. I came in stressed out and frustrated and 20 minutes into the massage, I felt a wave of gratefulness and stillness. And that is how you tell you’ve met a healer. Thanks Tu! Will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to family and friends.

The Garden Spa offers a limited number of rooms in a non-busy side across the Oakridge mall. Parking is never an issue in this place. The spa is cozy but enough, it appears clean and minimally decorated. Every masseuse I’ve had here applies the right pressure. I prefer the light touch and sometimes masseuse in other places would still massage harder than what’s comfortable for meor too light. I could just reserve for any slot and would not worry about who I get. There is no need to ask for a specific person because I can rely on a relaxing experience each time.

We live in Hayward and book a couples deep tissue massage after reading the reviews, we took our chances just to drive there for a massage. I guess we set our expectation too high. The atmosphere was nice, clean and relaxing with friendly staff but It was a OK visit for. We were expecting more of deep tissue just then forearm strokes. My husband did get a little more deep tissue then me thou. We were a little disappointed and it was not worth the drive and price.

The massage is really worth MORE than the price. I was not really feeling well and all in pain when I visit the spa but i feel revived and feeling great after the massage. Shiela is a good therapist. You can see and feel the good service .I will surely recommend to my friends to come again.Thank you so much

Review №16

I booked a last minute couples massage for my husband and I and I was a little skeptical since they had openings last minute, but am I glad!! My husband and I both had an ahhhh-mazing massage. I was having sciatic pain to the point where it was painful to walk. I had already been to the chiropractor that Friday and had another appointment scheduled for Monday. Matthew did such an amazing job I could have canceled my chiro appt! We get massages several times a year, but enough to know a good massage when we get one, and the fact we both got one is almost unheard of, but isnt that what you pay for?! We already booked a massage for next month and we cant wait. My massage was so good, there were times I felt like I was literally melting into the table.

I took my daughter here today for a couples massage for her 15th birthday. My massage was great however on the way home my daughter told me hers felt like she was getting a deep tissue and held back tears the whole time. I asked if the therapist ever asked her if the pressure was too much and she said no. She is shy and didnt know she could just tell them it was too much pressure. I have never had a therapist not ask me if the pressure was ok. I tried calling the spa to let them know of my dissatisfaction but no one answered. I feel so bad I wanted this to be a good experience for her and it was not. 😞

My wife and I recently had a couple massage here. The environment was very nice, clean, and relaxing with sounds of flowing water and smells of lavender. Both our massage therapists were excellent, providing nice amounts of pressure covering our entire bodies. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Clean and spacious. Wonderful service. A little pricey but great massage. I guess you get what you pay for. I always feel rushed at those cheaper places.Second time here and boy was I overdue. Mike was totally awesome. I have a feeling everyone here is good, so not necessary to pick and choose. Cant wait for my next appt.!

Review №22

The massage was more swedish than deep, next time I will get full deep. Very relaxing experience, and nice staff. Great rates, makes it affordable to get a massage each month.Made an appointment online 10 days in advance for me and my sister to get a couples massage.They texted and called me on 3 different occasions. Once to move my appointment back 30 minutes, once yo let me know we will be massaged by one male and one female, and the last time to let us know we will be in separate rooms. Great communication but a little peeved by the 3rd change.Will be back!

Review №25

The massages here are top notch and super relaxing! We’ve been several times, our first was for a couple massage. I love how you feel relaxed when it ends and just that stress-free warm cozy feeling throughout the rest of the day. That’s how it should be. It’s a little pricey but well worth it for the quality. Very covid cautious which was good to see. We will back soon for another special occasion in the future.

Review №27

Had a relaxing 90min Swedish massage. Peter was very professional and asked feedback questions about pressure and trouble areas to target. Rooms were clean. Only slightly frustrating part was trying to book 2 massages on one account via their website. Ended up having to make separate accounts and book them separately. Nothing against the massage though. Will definitely be going back.

I love this place! Very unassuming exterior but the inside is beautiful, very calming and lovely. I am a stickler for cleanliness and COVID regulations and they are doing a great job, with screening, frequent cleaning and air purifiers as well as mandatory masking. I have had 2 massages with Amy and she is AMAZING! Prices are very reasonable compared to other spas in the area. Check it out!!

First, Ive been waiting for a massage for so long and they did not disappoint. I was curious how the outdoor massage was going to be set and I was pleasantly surprised. They have it set up beautifully, taking all precautions and STILL delivering great service. Not going to lie I think I prefer outside better. This was my first time to the spa and I will be coming again soon for the 90min. Thank you again team!

Update: been coming here for a year and love it!Lily is my regular masseuse and took wonderful care of me for my prenatal and postnatal massages. My husband has worked with Ming, Taha, and other male massage therapists who have all been fantastic.Highly highly recommend!FYI: Park on the side because the flooring shop employees can become a little rude.______To begin, I have been waiting to have a massage for over a year and this was a great place to come to for one.We booked a couple massage as we were gifted Groupon deals for the swedish deep tissue massage. We got there promptly before they opened at 10am, and by the time we were escorted into our room and changed for the massage, it was 10:05am (as seen in the picture). It probably took another couple minutes for the masseuses to arrive.I had Sara, and my husband had the male masseuse (my husband thinks it was Tan, but doesnt remember exactly) and they were great. They told us we had 60 minutes for the massage, but I checked the time when it ended and it was exactly 11am. So definitely felt the massage was cut short by a few minutes.However, pressure was great, masseuse techniques and knowledge were great. Kind, considerate, thorough, and did lots of stretches and counter stretches which Ive never had done before. Also, the facility was very nicely done up.Highly recommend and will definitely be back.Theyre open from 10-930pm. The last massage is as 830pm which I was surprised to hear, because I thought that was so late! They do take walk-ins but cant guarantee youll have a spot, so they recommend booking 1-2 days in advance, especially for weekend and/or couple time slots.Im looking forward to getting their monthly massage package!

Review №32

Dont waste your time with this establishment. They are not accommodating when life happens and last min changes have to happen. I was running 15 mins late for my appointment and asked for a courtesy reschedule. I was told by Judy at the front desk that the manager (Bon) said no. I explained that I had been a loyal customer for years and was asking for a one-time courtesy and they still said no. This isnt how you treat loyal custo,mers. I completely understand their policies but sometimes, life just happens.

Amazing massage by Ricardo! I will go every single week or twice a month because this guy really knows what he does. My back was in so much pain and he knew exactly how to treat it. The best massage I ever had, and everything super clean and the bed was warm too and he put warm pads in my back while massaging other areas, truly amazing!

I visited this place this morning and had an hour of Swedish massage done by Henry. I must say it was the best massage I got in many years! My shoulder is bothering me for over six months and I tried massages, acupuncture, hot stones, chiropractic. After todays session, I feel so much better and I decided to purchase additional 5 sessions with Henry! Highly recommend this place and mostly, Henry :)

A-ma-zing. The decor is clean and understated. The front desk person was was pleasant and welcoming. But the 5 star magic was Laura. I told her what I wanted her to work on in the beginning and then changed mind halfway through because what she was doing felt so good. More, please! A fantastic massage from a true professional. Thank you, Laura!

Review №36

Clean. Smells good. Private rooms. Clean bathroom. Attentive, knowledgeable receptionist, Nguyen. Electronic web-based scheduling, including text intake forms and reminders (hello 21st century!). Masseuse Lily was familiar with my request from the electronic intake form, and asked me to confirm or revise (personal) 90 min deep tissue massage was just the right amount pressure, pain, crackling, stretching. Walked away as lumber and relaxed as could be! Lily was professional and respectful. This place so much better than those cheapie “reflexology” places, with gigantic rooms, one-size-fits-all masseuses with limited experience and smell like their last cigarette break or their garlicky lunch. 😖Garden Spa- I will buy a membership for discounted repeat visits. Hidden gem - recommended.

If you want to feel better in your body and keep feeling better, try to make an appointment at the Garden Spa.Lily was amazing! She worked on all my body and it was great. Besides feeling incredible relief from the massage, I learned the steps for my daily routine to prevent further pain in my back.I’m looking forward to my next appointment.

Review №38

Booking the massage appointment was easy through their website. When I arrived to my appointment, I was greeted by the receptionist who quickly lead me to my room. A lady who I assumed was going to be my therapists brought me some warm water right afterwards before I even had a chance to undress. The facilities were nicely decorated and seemed very clean. My appointment was for 12:30 pm, and I had booked an appointment with Evon based on all the reviews.However, I waited for 30 minutes in the room and no one ever came to give me a massage or tell me they were running late. I finally got dressed again, and went out to talk to the receptionist. She acted like she had forgotten about me and quickly lead me back to the room where she told me Laura would be coming in to give me a massage but she was running late because her current client was complaining. This was not reassuring. This was also confusing since I had booked an appointment with Evon.Laura came in to give me a massage 30 minutes after my initial appointment time. She was kind, but the massage was so light I felt she was only massaging my skin. She spent maybe 10 minutes on my back, and most of the time on my legs. I had to request she spend more time on my back, which is why I was there.At no point, did anyone apologize for making me wait an extra 30 minutes or the change in therapist. I will not be returning again.

Got 3 massages booked for me and my friends. We had the 60 min deep tissue. They have the sweetest and nicest receptionists! I was able to book on the phone and they price matched on groupon. I had Taha and my bf had Henry. Both were very great! Taha concentrated on every knot on my body and I was very surprised by how many I had. I recommend getting the 90 min session for an even longer experience. Did not want my massage to end. He also did this massage on my forehead that made me absolutely melt. Next time I hope to try the hot stones for $10 extra! The massage room had dim lighting, gentle music and was very relaxing!

Treated myself to a massage a few weeks ago when they were operating outside. Everyone was careful and followed safety guidelines. The outside accommodations were comfortable and private and the therapy was a welcome escape from everything going on right now. I am looking forward to returning soon now that they are back inside.

First time at this place and will definitely go back. Booked a ninety minute deep tissue massage and it was heavenly. Taha was my massage therapist with magic hands.

Probably the best massage experience I have had! Taha was very thorough not too rough and made sure my trouble areas were tended to, rubbed out unites and tendion in my neck! Lena was my daughters msdsage therapist and she is begging to go back, took care of her back pains, and relieved stress areas fully. We both left and will definitely be coming back as soon as they can reopen due to COVID (so frustrating!) Highly highly recommend! The place is so clean, smells so incredible, very relaxing tight when you walk in!
