Grace Day Spa

My husband asked me to leave this review.
They make you pay before you have the service and
if you don’t leave a big enough tip (50% of the treatment!!) they will corner you and ask for more money and then keep on asking.
Very unprofessional. We won’t be coming back. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Grace Day Spa is simply the «best» place on the peninsula for a relaxing therapeutic massage! It all starts with owner Shirley Y. who has created
a meticulously clean and inviting environment. She warmly greets you, introduces you to a MT and escorts you to a room with a bottled water. She has decorated the rooms with relaxing furniture and soft warm colors. The MT are all very professional some with medical background. Overall, a great value for the price!

Great prenatal message by Julie, loved the warm towels she wrapped my feet in to help with the puffiness, easy to get an appt, clean spa, only downside was the location, on a busy street and near the train so it was loud, also the walls don’t go all the way to the ceiling, they’re open to the vaulted ceiling so you can hear everything in the spa, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars, I could easily relax but if you’re one the needs more quiet you’ll find the space hard for that

I. Love. Shirley. I just had the most phenomenal massage. It was my first time at Grace Day Spa and I can’t wait to go back. When I walked in they said on Wednesdays it’s ladies day and they give 10 free extra minutes to my 60 min Swedish massage. Great! I actually got 15 extra minutes when I looked at the clock at the end. Even greater! Shirley used the perfect pressure for me and seemed to know exactly what would feel amazing and where to spend some time. She has really strong fingers which worked some magic. Yay! A place by my house that I love.

Three stars for great price per hour. Unfortunately, the service missed the mark. Quality of the overall massage would be fair for an airport lounge not an establishment that calls itself a day spa. The individual «rooms» are not completely private as the «walls» are divider walls that do not reach the ceiling which causes you to lose some of your serene relaxation due to ambient noise from outside cars passing by, other clients conversations, business transactions and even loud mouth breathers next door were all easily heard during my 90 minute Swedish massage. It was clear that the massage therapist had no real technique and doused me in oils and even did the percussion pounding on my back like a chair massager. The MT also did not lighten her pressure even after several attempts to get her to understand it was too hard. English was not her first language or very well understood. Overall, if you wanted a quick chair type massage on the neck and shoulders it might be worth your time. Otherwise skip amateur hour and seek out a more qualified spa for your full body massage work.

Imagine the crappy hand massage you get at your average nail salon — complete with the «clop clopping» up your arms. Now imagine it allover your body and you’ve pretty much got the experience at Grace’s. They only offer 2 types of massage — Swedish or Deep Tissue and I did not get either. The «masseuse» was clearly not trained (and by trained I mean had not even watched a YouTube video on massage). It was not a good experience to say the least.
The space itself while not plush would be fine but for the fact you can hear the doorbell, the phone ringing and lots of other conversations between the staff. You can also hear other patrons during their massage. Not relaxing.
1 star is for plush beds and the warm oil. I’m afraid to ask where they get the warming oil… it warms on contact with your skin.
Lastly, the woman asked me to post a 5 star review. She said that they give free massages out in exchange for good reviews. I find this offensive.

I have had many massages and only a few have been as wonderful as the one I had at Grace Day Spa. I was greeted the moment I entered and they immediately put me into a room to prepare for my massage.
The light was dim and the music was so relaxing. Yona was my massage therapist and she did an amazing job. Just the right amount of pressure and she focused on my problem areas.
I can’t wait to go back and I’m definitely going to tell all my friends!

This place is a hidden gem in Belmont! I had a massage with Shirley and she did a nice job applying the right pressure to alleve the pressure in my neck and back!

In two words — simply amazing. The reviewer prior to mine seemed to take the words right out of my mouth.
I have degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) in my lower back, so I have to get a massage every week. I have been going to Shirley for almost 3 years now, and I can’t praise her enough. I have got massage from other masseuse at this place, and they have not failed to impress even once.
I highly recommend this place. Very professional, excellent technique. All the therapist here are extremely intuitive. They can pin point the area of need before you even tell them.
I would highly recommend this place.

I have followed Shirley to two different spas, and now she has finally opened her own business. This place near Ralston and El Camino (with parking in the back) has been redecorated and is really beautiful. Great ambiance! And Shirley is by far the best masseuse I have ever encountered. Not even close! I have been her client for years and I will be for years to come!
