Best Spa Salons In San Mateo

“I really appreciate the kindness with which the staff treats us!
Today I was able to receive help from Mariana, who was very friendly, polite and sweet ???“

“New Ownership and Management

I have had the opportunity to visit Aroma Spa three times since the transition to new ownership last summer. Each visit has been a very pleasant occasion, and I will return as a regular customer. I have lower back issues that have been a problem for years, and my preference is for deep muscle work to relieve tightness. Remarkably, the massage therapist was able to trigger-point my tension areas and relieve pressure in my hips, mid-back and lower back. I also enjoy back walking to delve deeper and really target the problem spots. The session was blended with firm pressure as well as a very relaxing, Swedish-style stress relief finish. I enjoy the environment because it is quiet and has a pleasant and inviting scent. The new team is warm, friendly, and very customer-focused. I appreciate good craftsmanship and the hard work that is required to be a good masseuse. As such, my gratuities are generous, and there are never any issues. Aroma, under new management, is now a completely different experience, which I encourage you to visit soon.“

“Halee is highly professional and extremely knowledgeable about lashes. She has a great eye for detail, truly listens to what you want, and confidently recommends the perfect type and length to enhance your natural features. I was very happy with the results and would definitely recommend her.“

“Highly recommend Skin Therapy. Melissa has been my aesthetician for 6 years. She is very professional, friendly, excellent at analyzing and recommending what treatment would be best for my particular skin. Relaxing environment, thorough exfoliation, plus her use of excellent products which make my skin feel and look much brighter. I would highly recommend Melissa if you are interested in a personalized facial experience.“

“I like to get a massage every so often from a different place. I was hesitant to try her but gave it a shot. Started off rough as the lady charged me twice and had to wait a few minutes until another lady came to straighten it out. They did and I went to the room and got prepared for the massage. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The lady gave me a very thorough massage and I was happy. She worked my back well as I am very stiff from Parkinson’s. Was one of the best massages I have received in the last year. I recommend this place and will be back.“

“The place is very clean and smells good. Anna is very professional and very experienced. The Swedish massage was perfect! She knows where to put pressure, my wife and I will definitely be back!“

“I go to Susan for waxing. She's pleasant, fast and reasonably priced. Convenient location.“

“As a local born and raised resident, I've been riding and driving by Water Lounge for years and kept wanting to go in. I travel in Asia a lot and come back yearning for the hot spring spas. Today I finally jumped in and bought a package deal too. This is as close as it gets in the bay area to some of the good Asian spas I've been to. It's clean. It's friendly. It's in a former bank, so there is a good lucky feeling. Go here and you will have lots of money and luck! The therapist I had was Karen and she was very experienced and attentive and friendly. The hot tub is great. It's clean. Water is not too chlorinated and the shower is huge.“

“Allen T. was very professional and on time for Bob style hair cuts twice now. We were in total communications. The Semi-perm hair coloring I had in between the 2 hair cuts could be improved though. I thought Allen was suppose to ask me what color I wanted first. Instead, he chose a semi-perm hair color that was, as it turned out, right for me. The location was good for me and the place was clean & spacious. The hair cuts, especially the 2nd one, were the right length for me & the sideway bangs allowed me to dry without pins or hairspray to hold in place! Love that!“

“I started having my facials at Shiseido at the start of the year, and since then, my skin has improved a lot. I've really liked the results and how much healthier and smoother my face looks now.“

“All of my girlfriends and I come here. This is the best spot in San Mateo. I tried another aesthetician in San Mateo and I found her very inauthentic - she kept pushing me to write a Google review. I should have known as all her Google review responses are AI. This place is the real deal! It’s the best.“

“I really love the ambiance of this place so I came back, I love the music and the dim lighting of the room while getting a massage. I like to feel that sleeping is okay while getting relaxed. Today I had Tiffany and she was great! I love how she performed and explained the service after. She made my day :)“

“I’m always afraid of trying new places with curly hair but Yvonne just knew what she was doing! She really understands hair textures so well and also gave me good recommendations. All of the staff were super friendly too! Would totally recommend and go back again! ☺️“

“Glo is the best. I've been going to Glo ever since it opened. I tried other estheticians and waxing establishments, but none compare. The technicians are professional. They really know their stuff. All the people who work there are friendly and make you feel welcome. The place is beautiful. They accommodate schedules, keep up-to-date with the latest products and procedures, and suggest things that might work for you without being pushy. I always walk out feeling wonderful. And after so many years of waxing, I don't have any unsightly hair, which also means I don't see them as often as I used to. I love Glo, and you will too.“

“My monthly massages with Michelle are excellent! The masseuses here are trained in so many different techniques and pros at relieving my pressure points and tightness.

I'm so thankful that I found a place that is affordable ($70 for 60 minutes is *unbeatable* in the Bay Area), clean, and offers a high quality massage. They are super welcoming and special touches like fresh fruit after your treatment and their heated blankets make Belbien my new favorite spa!“

“I have such a great experience every time I come here. Jamie is so gentle, super knowledgeable, and makes the whole appointment feel really relaxing. Already looking forward to my next facial! ✨?‍♀️“

“The most refreshing facial ever, my skin glows. HIGHLY recommend, Sheila is so lovely!“

“I attended a sewing class this evening. I enjoyed it very much. Jill has a beautiful space and story. If you are interested in sewing or design, I would highly recommend.“
