Lots of mixed reviews here, but it looks like they redid the place sometime around July. Perhaps new ownership has made the place more professional and reputable than it was before.
I've been to many massage venues all over the Bay Area. Chains like Massage Envy ( never been great ) and many reflexology / Chinese foot spas. I'm pretty picky these days, but I am fairly clear with what I want.
About a week ago, I called in for an appointment for a 2 hour body massage. I asked if they had a female therapist who could perform a very hard massage, and they assured me they did.
I also asked in advance if paying by card was okay, and they said they prefer cash and a percentage is added if a credit card is used. A bit annoying, but as someone who is currently looking for card processing for their own business, I get it. The card companies absolutely kill you with transaction fees, and it's not the businesses fault.
I'd recommend they build the processing fee into their pricing and advertise a cash discount, much as companies do with free shipping, where the shipping is actually built into the total cost.
Once I arrived I was warmly greeted by the very well-dressed staff at the front door. The entrance is clean, professional, and inviting.
They showed me to the room after checking in, and it was the nicest one I've been in yet. Most rooms are all white with an old chair in the corner with an almost hospital like neutrality.
In a direct contrast, this room had coordinated colors, a very nice massage table, and a chair covered in fresh towels so you could feel comfortable sitting down as you undressed. The linens on the table smelled fresh and the table was very comfortable.
The therapist came in ( who's name I unfortunately forgot ) and asked if I wanted medium or hard, to which I replied very hard.
Overall I'd give her massage a 4.5/5, but set a 5 for the review as the venue was so professional, clean and well designed. The strength was there, very very hard as I like, just not the absolute best I've had. It's hard to quantify why, but I'm very excited to try this place again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
It is confusing to me why the older reviews are so negative, but again, it seems as though an overall makeover and management change has struck new life into what was apparently not a great experience before.
September Day Spa will without dount have my business again, and I look forward to another great experience with their professional and perky staff.
