San Jose Chiro Spa

Worse place to get a facial!
The lady didn’t turn on the music until about half way into my facial. I could hear a man and woman talking in the other room the whole time.
All the facial consisted of was this lady putting a ton of lotion on my face and wiping it away with tissue. She put so much, it was going up my nose and I kept sneezing and sniffing. It got so uncomfortable, I had to stop a few times to blow my nose. She thought I had allergies!
The blackhead extraction was a sunction tube that left hickies on my face!
Then she put a mask on my face. She started to talk to me and asking if this was the best facial ever?!? Omg! I couldn’t even respond because of the mask.
When it was done, she turned on the light and said something about a tip. Then she told me to look in the mirror to see how «beautiful» my skin was…
I took one look and was horrified! I had hickies or bruises around my nose that looked like I got into a bar fight! It was purple and huge spots! She told me it will go away in a day! WTH? I did not sign up for a facial to leave with purple spots on my face! They were lucky I didn’t have plans that night!!! I wanted to cry!
Worse place ever!

It’s been a while since I’ve been in this Spa. The only reason why I even come here is because my insurance covers it, so it’s free. But I guess now they aren’t accepting insurance anymore? I still had credit left over from last year, so I still got a free massage. But I don’t think I’ll ever come back to use the credit I had. I have no idea who this lady was, but she did a horrible job with my massage. I came in on Saturday and I wish I booked with Rose because I remember Rose doing a great job with my massage last time I was here. The lady that I had just dug her hands into my shoulders and even up until today (Monday, the 28^th), my shoulders feel completely bruised. Also, when she did the hot stone massage, she left the stones on my back and they were slipping everywhere. I remember hearing one fall to the floor. I was hoping she’d put it in the bowl where they kept it, but she just put it on my back again after it fell! NOT COOL! I’m just gonna go elsewhere and pay for a better massage than having a free one where the service is mediocre.

This place is very clean. Ask for Kathy for massage and facial. She is very professional and friendly.

Not a bad place to go to. They always try to fit me in even though I call hella last minute. I don’t care for the massages or facials and whatnot. I do enjoy getting mani and pedis. And the doctor is really good at doing chiro. Always able to relieve the knots and kinks in my body.

Decent place to go for a massage. I guess it depends on who you get. I always ask for Rose. She is the best! Otherwise, it is hit or miss. I suggest if you get a masseuse (sp?) you like then always request for her. The only reason I frequent this place is because they take my medical insurance which means free massages for me! Otherwise, I would probably go somewhere else.

Did the Groupon Hot Stone massage and Moisturizing Facial. I’m very impressed with the professionalism and quality of Nicky and Lin’s work. I will return if I can get the same service for a reasonable cost.

This place is clean and professional. My whole family goes here for therapeutic massages and facials. I always leave happy and satisfied with my regular masseuse.
Have tried different masseuses and have only been disappointed with one.
Ask for Rosé and do it in advance because she’s always booked.

Hmm, I still think 1 star is too much for this place.
I called them on Friday to make 2 appointments at 12 on Sunday. On Sunday morning (around 11am), they called me and asked why I hadn’t showed up yet. They said my appointments were at 11am, not 12pm. I am 100% sure that I made the appointments at 12pm (cuz my friend were sitting next to me when I called them to make appointment), and they acted like it was my fault. They said they were all booked, and couldn’t take us, and saying that they would call us back in about 15min to see if there was anything open.
Waited for 15min, no call back. So my friend and I drove there (just wanted to see if they were really busy as they said so). When we got there, all of the technicians were at the front chatting, some of them were even outside talking on the phone. And they said that they were BUSY all day. I think the reason why they didn’t want to take us was because I mentioned on the phone that I have gift certificates. So do NOT ever buy gift certificates from them. It’s a SHAME.
When we showed up, they said they could take us at 5pm, but we refuse to come back.
I’ll better just give the gift certificates back to my friend. I don’t feel like getting anything done there even tho it’s free.

Shorted us time on our facial, and was the worst my girl and I have had… massage was ok!

So I got a groupon for a 60 hot stone massage and a 60 min fascial. I walked In and they space seemed cluttered. I am a massage therapist but its so hard to get in at my job so I look at other places. So I was excited to try this place out. I called and made an appointment for the same day. I walk in and write my name down. About 4 – 5 min after my therapist comes to get me. Get into the room and its cluttered and not as relaxing as I hoped. The therapist was not fluent in English so talking to her was a bit hard since I didn’t understand her very well. But I she told me to lay face down and leave my undergarments on (normally the therapists leave that up to you) so I do as I am told and undress and get on the table. She comes in a little bit later. She asked something Bout pressure I said medium. So she started out on my back and it was ok she started pretty hard with out warming me up first so I know I’ll be sore. Any way she did my back and she spent a long time on it however she was just using her hands not the hot stones. I was kinda upset that she spent like 40 min on my back with out one stone. She finally used them and it was fast and not relaxing at all. I would of rather had just her hands. She put the stones down and next thing I know she in on the table, ON THE TABLE… literally knees on both side of my butt and she is working my back… it was very unsettling. But I was like ok maybe she just is doing a different style then I’m use too. She finally got off and I was able to relax again. She put hot packs on my back and moves to my legs. She uncovers my entire leg and my butt Is revealed (now I know why they say to keep your underwear on) I felt very exposed. Then time comes to flip over so I do. She then gets on the table again. AGAIN… And starts stretching my legs out. Again being very exposed I was not to relaxed. She finished up by beating my arms up (not in a good way). And left. Next came the fascial. That’s not something to wrote home about either. I seriously would go somewhere else.

I was suffering from a strained shoulder muscle and the technician identified the problem areas and provided effective treatment w/​o the need for follow-​up.

Yea… I’ve used Unilocal for a while now and this is my first review. I only do so because it was opposite of what Unilocal had lead me to expect. I never spend money due to copious student loans but when I do, I want my money to be well-​spent and frankly, I’m was so angry that I left giving no tip – I’ve worked in service industry for 10+ years, this is literally the first time I never left one, not even a courtesy tip. My entire visit, I was taking mental notes on what I will comment on for Unilocal to help other people like me and warn not to waste your money here.
Although the ladies were nice, it was hardly a «full-​body massage». I’m not from around here but all other previous massages included face down and face up. Here, I just got face down ‘full-​body’ and when she had me turn over she just massaged my face with her dirty unwashed hands that she kept coughing in. SERIOUSLY… coughed in her hands and would immediately go back to massaging my FACE. Disgusting. Then she gave me a horribly painful neck massage that just made me want to punch her. She finished the massage by deeply scratching her long nails into my scalp – I am not tender headed and this hurt really bad too. I could literally feel pieces of my scalp collecting under her fingernails.
Side note: I have old sports and auto accident injuries, so I treat myself to a massage every once in a blue moon. If you want to get your muscles and knots actually worked out where you actually feel pain relief – this is NOT the place. I feel the lady was not actually trained in a massage therapy – I’m not sure if that is required here in California or not but you can def. tell she did not have proper training.
They stuffed me in a back room that appeared as a storage room for outdated equipment with a random massage table stuffed in the middle. The lady literally had to stop the massage multiple times to move other equipment out of the way.
The facial I guess was okay. But this lady got a phone call during and answered it. Then she left the room for about 10 minutes. I told myself to just shrug it off ’cause it could be an emergency or something of more importance to interrupt her service. She then comes back stinking of outdoors and laughing with the people outside. Then explained to me that it was just a friend who came by to pick up her stuff. Seriously? Unprofessional if you ask me. PLUS, she did not was her hands either and went back to touching my FACE with her dirty hands.
Overall, if you’re going to spend the money there are other places out there that are better. It’s a loud, run-​down, unprofessional, and unskilled establishment.
I see some people enjoyed their visit and whatever floats your boat – I guess it was a good deal for an hour massage and facial but if you’re like me who wants to escape from the hustle and bustle to get relief and relaxation and CLEANLINESS – this is NOT the place.

So my back went out really bad this time and my other two go to places were not open =(Hubby took me here, $ 50 for an hour massage and you get a free adjustment. Not bad, it was close to the Holidays and the doctor was in and out so it took me a few times to catch her. Loved the massage and I’m definitely going back and taking the hubby with me! Hot stones was included, if I wasn’t getting deep tissue work done, I think I would have fallen asleep!
Prices aren’t bad either, I’ll update my review once I go back for some other treatments!

I’ve been going to this place to get a massage by Rose, she’s great! I get a Swedish massage, she applies the perfect pressure, not too hard and not too soft. I’ve gone to the high end spa’s to the $ 20 foot spa place but Chiro Spa is great in price and Rose always does a great job, just tell her what you want and she’ll ask you if the pressure is okay. The place is clean and well kept as well =)

From what I hear about their services ~ they’re great at what they do.
I was buying a pastrami sandwich at Togo’s just to realize that there was conveniently a «spa» right next door. My eyebrows were getting wild, so I decided to drop by for a visit.
On their window, they stated that «Walk-In’s are welcome.»
This is a plain lie. I came in so enthusiastically after Unilocaling this place whith my pastrami sandwich just to be told that I needed an appointment.
Obviously, they have misleading titles on their windows that should be changed.
I wasn’t too impressed. In fact, I have not yet come here for anything done yet.
Before coming here, make sure you make an appointment. –_–

I guess Vietnamese businesses can definitely bring down the price to their competitor.
I remember going to a spa with my roomies in Napa, and a facial was about $ 100, but then again, it was in Napa.
I got a massage here with my mommy, and it was around $ 100 tax and tip included per person.
My only complaint is that some of the masseuses don’t understand English fluently!!! My usual masseuse that I go to was not working that day, and I ended up with someone who didn’t understand English at all! And of course, I don’t speak vietnamese! So there was no way of communicating…
FYI: I would probably only get the message only b/​c their facial products seem a little sketchy!

I’ve been going to SJ Chiro Spa for a year now. It’s very close to my house and the place is very classy on the inside. On the outside, it looks a little… ehh, ghetto.
I usually get the deep tissue massages and the regular massages. Both are extraordinary relaxing. I’ve had a total of three different ladies and they were all very good.
My only complaint is that the place is often very cold even with the warm towels that you get. Both my mom and my sister have had a cold after coming her a few times. So, remember to ask them to turn on the heat.
The price ranges from $ 45 – 50 for a massage which is standard pricing unless you go to any shady «massage» places that charges less. Don’t forget to tip and call to make an appointment. Be careful not to make an appointment with their male masseuse unless… you don’t mind =/

A MUST GO SPA. TWO THUMBS UP!
The spa was a nice welcoming place. I set up a reservation over the phone and I got a facial treatment from DIANA. She was so nice and sweet! the room that she took me in was nice calm and relaxing and clean. Its a very nice place with good AFFORDABLE PRICES! I honestly love this place I am going by weekly or bi weekly to get a facial! Check out there prices TRUST ME ITS A GOOD DEAL!

This place is AWESOME! It has everything for an upscale/​clean spa minus the price tag. The supplies are all clean. new & up-​to-​date. Take walk-​ins.
Background: This is your ultimate SPA CENTER. They have everything from mani/​pedi/​wax/​to private room facials and massages. The rooms are all individual — not your typical «room in the back» where they do everything. I was surprised at how big this place was when I walked in for my massage. I was in shock when I saw the two walls of nail color all in OPI. You don’t find OPI colors in nail parlors real often — because other nail places are too cheap to stock high quality nail color. I saw 3 very clean mani stations and 3 high quality massage pedicure chairs.
Why 4 stars?
1) Clean & Professional. They have both male & female masseuse.
2) Friendly& nice front desk lady & staff. Who speaks fluent English. (but not the massage person) ((Hate it when I try to book an appointment and front desk doesn’t know what’s going on.)) It’s not hard to find the place. Great location.
3) Right now, they are offering 30% off of Massages & Facials. So my Swedish massage was $ 40 for an hour — that is a huge bargain!
4) Because I think they are the definition of a «spa center» it’s a one stop treat. I can bring my sister here for our full body/​foot massage ritual, along with pedicure all in one day, without breaking the bank or gas $$, to drive to different places. It’s the perfect place as a gift to a friend or your mom because she can get a facial and full body massage at the same place.
Why 1 negative star?
I asked my masseuse to focus on my shoulders cause it was extra sore (that’s what brought me in the 1^st place) and she heard me, but didn’t do anything about it. So I’ll give this place one more try next month and make suggestions up front and see if anything changes and get better.

Loved this place! Ask for Jennifer…
It was clean, quiet and Jennifer was awesome. I am telling all my friends about it… RUN THERE!!!
I just wish they had aromatherapy in the rooms– Next time I’ll take a candle because you cannot beat the $ 40.00 deal with a stick: O)
