Chesaray’s Touch

One word review: Creepy.

I purchased a one hour massage from living social, I called right away got an appointment for two days later. A guy Edward calls me like 45 min before my appointment to say the person ahead of me was running late and he had to cancel my time. Ok I understand that it happens. He told me he’d call me back after he checked his schedule because he was so busy. Ok I’m ok with that too. Well it’s been like 5 days a he has yet to call me back. I left a message with him to call me back and nothing. So I contacted Living social and got my money back and told them what a horribly run business this place is.

Okay, so I have been debating for a long time to right this review or not. I was on groupon and saw the amazing deal they had for a facial and a massage. I called and left a message with my personal number. The person who called back, Edward, called my work when I clearly said call my personal cell phone. I book my massage, he did get me in right away. I have never had a massage by male before, and I asked for a female and he told me one was not going to be available. I sucked it up and booked it anyways. When it came to the day of my appointment I headed down to the location and was a bit early. This guy, Edward, text my personal cell phone saying he was running behind. This was so strange to me, and I was not okay with him messaging me on my phone. It finally comes time to get my massage, i got undressed and just left my underwear on. Everything was going well tell it came to him massaging me legs and lower body. Generally, every massage I have gotten I have been covered. No massage therapist has ever completely exposed my behind. HE DID! I was like oh my god! I had no words. Who does that?! I will never go back, not only did the guy make me so uncomfortable but this hurt me more than it helped me! As for the lady who gave me my facial, she was amazing! Nothing negative to say about her.

Found this place with a Groupon. First bad experience started the morning of my appt with numerous phone calls to not be late and how I need to make it in because he had to call in someone special just for me (already feeling pressured). 2^nd bad experience, as I left I asked the amazing masseuse what her normal price is and the Owner intervened with a higher price… WOW did u really just blatantly jack the price up on me!!! The huge PLUS was the magic hands of this girl that gave me the deep tissue massage. Because of her I would go back but sadly I won’t because of Mister Creeper (yes ladies, beware of him).

Went there for the first time and I was very pleased with Trish she is very friendly and knows what she is doing will return for sure

I was in need of refills coz I just got my first eyelash extentions a week and a half ago and they did a horrible job. My lashes was already falling off as soon as I got in my car and it didn’t last a week! I’m suppose to take engagement photos this week so I went on groupon.
I saw European Skin Care on groupon and called to see if I can get an appointment. Thank goodness for Beatrice I got in the next day and she was Awsome! Had a great experience, told me care instructions and was very gentle which was a plus.
So far my lashes are still intact and hasn’t fallen off. I would highly recommend her!

This was my 2^nd visit to see Edward, the owner of Chesary’s. I have to say, he is AWESOME or I would not have purchased a 5 pack of massages! My first visit was on a Groupon, and was great! Very professional and the place is very calming and relaxing. For the first time in a very long time my tension headaches from my neck and shoulder pain have been relieved! Thanks Edward! You have gained a customer in me! Your package rates are very good too! Comparable to what the membership rates at «massage envy» are without being «locked in» to a year long contract! Will be recommending Edward to my co-​workers and friends!

Horrible. Made an appt over a week ahead of time, stated there was a certificate to use, didn’t ask what certificate. Showed up for appt. and sat in the waiting room for 40 min before anyone came out to help and then was told that the certificate was not good and I had no appointment. So unhelpful and rude. Really? Because I would just come sit here for 40 minutes for fun? Don’t even try it.

Horrible place, never received my massage and he charged my credit card, so i was charged twice, even after calling to cancel appt to a MACHINE (cause they never answer the phone) because my daughter was in a card accident. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE-WON’T CALL YOU BACK FOR DAYS AND DAYS.
I wouldn’t never recommend this place and i’m surprised he hasn’t lost all his customers. I own a business and would never treat them like he does. He never would call me back at all TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. going to do a charge back, really pissed off about it…

It took two days of leaving messages to get a call back to schedule an appointment, which they got me in right away. I told the person who scheduled the appointment that I liked more froufrou massages, I did not want anything deep tissue. I am pretty sure the guy that scheduled my appointment was the guy that did the massage, I was a little surprised that he was wearing street clothes (t-​shirt and jeans) to perform the massage, it was incredibly unprofessional. I wish that was the worst part, the room was dark, the sheet to cover yourself with was paper thin, the table was too hot, and the massage was so rough I cringed through the whole appointment. Also, I have never felt exposed during a massage, but there were definitely times where I was extremely uncomfortable with the draping of the sheet. I woke up the next day feeling like I had bruises all over my neck and back. I would never recommend this place to anyone, total waste.

Best massage I have had. I had a groupon, trying to get scheduled was a challenge due to the number of groupons that were purchased, but we finally made it work. I appreciate when a massage therapist is not afraid to really massage deep into the muscle. He found places I did not even know hurt. He worked me through all the painful areas, reminding me to breath and not giving into my whining. I appreciate the massage that while it hurt, helped incredibly to relieve the tension and not just be a superficial massage like so many.
I highly recommend this place, I believe my therapist name was Edward, to anyone who wants a truly deep tissue massage that actually releases knots.

I’ve never been somewhere so unprofessional. I set up a couples massage and the wanna-​be younger lady was so inappropriate with my boyfriend. I scheduled the appointment and knew who was supposed to be massaging who. But when we got there, she took one look at my boyfriend and when confirming who was massaging who, she did a switcheroo, so she ended up massaging my boyfriend instead. I commented on the switch but went along with it despite the weirdness, trying to convince myself it was an honest error. But this lady had zero class and made it obvious she was attracted to my boyfriend. I got to hear all about it on the car ride home. During his massage she kept commenting on his muscles and looks and boasting about herself being a thrill seeker who was up for anything. SERIOUSLY!?! Not only did she make him uncomfortable, she further ruined his massage with her consistent chatter. This lady is pathetic and I postponed putting this review up for awhile now because I didn’t want to write something while being so upset. However, it has been over a year now and I’m still livid from her actions. I figure at this point, that old, expired blonde tart deserves this outing. I’d give her a zero if Unilocal would let me.

My husband is awesome and scheduled a much needed last minute massage. They were very accommodating and able to squeeze me in. I am so thankful they did. Edward was the masseuse and he was incredible. Instead of asking where he should focus on, he instead asked what I did for a living, what type of workouts I do and what side I carry my kids on. This told him what parts of the body to focus on. His technique is very unique (and awesome) and it sets him apart from other massage therapists. Don’t let the outdated strip mall location scare you. Inside it is very nice, relaxing and comfortable. I will definitely be back.

I have a pretty good experience with the place. Me and my girlfriend tried this place with groupon. Without the certificate, it might be slightly pricey but the service and the therapist is quite awesome. Would definitely come back for another massage.

Sigh. I never write bad reviews… a bad review for me is like 4 stars.
It is impossible to get in touch with the ownership at Chesaray’s Touch. I have called over 10 times in the last 3 weeks, leaving voice messages in order to rebook a massage that they had canceled on me due to insufficient personnel two weeks ago.
The owner, Edward, had promised me that he would get in contact with me over two weeks ago.
Please improve your customer service. Thanks.

I have had two massages here and had great experiences each time. The therapists are knowledgeable and helpful. Chesaray’s Touch provides a clean and friendly environment for a relaxing and therapeutic massage. The emphasis here is about the quality of the massage rather than over the top spa fluff. The staff is very communicative and respectful of any comfort level. Edward, my therapist, addressed the problem areas we discussed and even found a tension spot in my neck that could be a source of my headaches.
The prices are reasonable, I was able to make a last minute appointment and there is ample parking. I would recommend this place to family and friends. I am looking forward to my next visit!

BEWARE!!! MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!!!
I was very excited about the couples massage I scheduled for myself and my girlfriend at Chesaray’s Touch until sixteen minutes before the appointment while halfway to the place I received a voicemail from one of the masseuses. This is what she said and I am quoting word for word here since I still have the vmail:
«Hi (my name)… This is Jill with Tesaray’s Touch massage, uhm, I realize you have an appointment today at 4PM, I’m not sure if you’re coming in with someone at the same time, but anyway, I am supposed to do your massage but uhm I got sick… I TOLD MY BOSS THAT I COULDN’T DO IT EARLIER BUT HE TOLD ME TO DO IT ANYWAY … uhm, but I… I… now he left and I, I’m, I seriously can’t do your massage, you wouldn’t want a massage from me right now… so uhm, would you please give a call back… Thank you»
She sounded pretty bad and I really felt for her until a thought occurred to me that from the time this place opens until 4PM (the time of my appointment) this lady has been massaging other people.
I called the business back and another lady answered, who coincidently didn’t sound to well herself. She told me that they couldn’t reschedule because the owned took the appointment book home. I asked to speak with the owner and she promised to call back in a «couple of minutes» with his phone number. She never called back.
I’m not so concerned with the dreadful customer service; I’m not even too upset about them wasting our Saturday. I am however very troubled with the owner’s disregard for the health of their customers and him instructing his sick and possibly contagious employees to continue to massage. Obviously his greed takes priority over the safety of his patrons.
I’ve already opened a case with the California Massage Therapy Council. My next call is to the Cal Dept of Health services and the SD dept of public health.

Our massage was unbelievable. Cant stop bragging to people in our office about our experience. We will definitely return!

I have been a faithful client since 2006. This is the best place to get a massage. Edward is the only one who can help me with the chronic shoulder pain.
If you need a therapeutic massage that actually works — give Edward a call. If you prefer a relaxing de-​stressing massage — give him a call! You would not regret it!

I found out about this place through MindBody Partnerships. I booked an appointment for that same week as I called. I get massages at least 1x a month, usually a different place since I get deals/​specials…
I walk into the place and it’s dark, although there is a guy sitting at the receptionist’s desk. «Hmm, okay»… I think. The guy introduces himself as Edward, my masseuse. He leads me to the back and leaves me to undress to my comfort level. I hop on the table under the sheet ready for my massage. Side note *the sheets smelled amazingly fresh and clean; I was intoxicated with their amazing smell, definitely made me happy*
The massage was unlike most others I have experienced… in a good way! I wanted a full body with a focus on my upper back/​neck as I hold most of my tension in that area and that is exactly what I received. Techniques included deep tissue, sports, and application of Bio-​Freeze on my neck area… different yet amazing. The ambience of the place was soothing and peaceful. The pressure was perfect throughout, even when a little too much to handle, Edward felt me tense up more and asked if I wanted him ease up… I didn’t even have to bring it up myself, now that’s a great masseuse, one who can read what his client needs/​wants.
Edward’s demeanor was friendly, I felt like I was getting a massage by a friend, not a stranger, which I cannot describe if I felt less or more comfortable due to that. Either way great work and a fantastic experience.
