Heaven Day Spa & Salon

I think this business is now closed. I was on Chestnut street last week and there was a tee-​shirt shop in its former location. I don’t know if Heaven Day Spa has moved to a new location.

This spa finally died. I saw a going out of business sale two weeks ago on Chestunut Street. Not a surprise because it had been steadily going downhill in the last two years. I use to go every month when they had therapists who did a good job. About two years ago, they started hiring therapists who did not understand what a massage was… literally poked at your for an hour and they still charged you $ 85 for the massage.

Michele is the best hairdresser I have found in years in SF. Really knows how to cut short hair so you don’t look like your Dad. Management here is very uneven. Is also professional and personable. Unfortunately the management part is problematic and needs attention.

I can’t even give them one star. I’ve used products that they carry. They never have them in stock. So if you have the misfortune of loving the cellular system, good luck getting it. Its sold through a manufacturer so you have to go through a salon to get it. These guys just make something so simple (replenishing your beauty products) a nightmare. Their spa part has great people its just sad they don’t run a very good business on the back-​end

Used to be decent, but since the name change and various other stupid decisions by management (e.g., firing all of their massage therapists except one), it’s the pits. The 90 pound lady I had do a massage was amateur at best. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I received a gift certificate here and thank goodness I didn’t use my own money — it was terrible. I got a 60 minute massage and a 30 minute facial. The massage was more like a rub and she spent 15 minutes on my head — which made my hair look like a crazy wig and they don’t have a shower (or any amenities). The facial was… ok. Too many great spas in SF to waste time and money here.

I was not impressed by the massage and facial I had here, and recommend making the trip a bit further to other spas in SF where you can get more attentive, personalized service from experts. My treatments were amateur, and while a massage is always nice, I left wishing I spent my money elsewhere.

HEAVEN. I was in it for, oh, about 30 minutes today thanks to Courtney at Heaven Day Spa. She is an AMAZINGLY talented masseuse. And I’d definitely consider myself a tough client to please. I’ve been to a ton of massage therapists over the years and rarely do I leave feeling as relaxed as I did today. Courtney really, and I mean really, knows how to work the knots out. She’s applies just the right pressure and shows them who’s boss. Thanks to her, I can function for yet another day!

I had an awesome experiance with Rebecca. It was the perfect pressure and she has a very relaxing pressance. Its no frills but then again so are the prices. I would be embarassed to ask for a discount at that rate.
Just a damn good massage, plain and simple

I had been to Heaven Day Spa for years, but my last experience has totally turned me off. The receptionist is not very knowledgeable and the discounts that I used to receive through the gym are no longer valid. If they want business, they should reach out to their long-​time customers and treat them better.

I booked a spa party here as a treat for my bridal party, my then fiancé, and my out of town guests. Although they did a decent job on my now husband and myself, I was very unsatisfied with how they performed on everyone else. We all traveled there together, so we were about 10 minutes late. In our group of 8, 2 people booked ½ hour massages each, while everyone else was booked for full hour massages. For some bizarre reason, 3 of the guests who had full hour massages either finished before the ½ hour massages, or at the same time (even though the ½ hour massages started first). When I took it up with the woman at the front, I was told that the massages had to be cut because we were late. I was upset that they didn’t let me know in advance that the massages were going to be so much shorter. That way, I would’ve just changed all the full hour massages to ½ hour ones, instead of paying full price for some half-​assed work. I would rather have been the one that they skimped on, because that whole spa party was a gift from myself to all of my bridesmaids and close friends. The spa did cut one of the full hour massages to the ¹⁄₂ hour price, but only because that one was ridiculously short in comparison to all of the other massages. It was a disappointment. I was so excited because it was difficult for me (I’m not from the area) to find a place that was able to accommodate all 8 of us for double services. They obviously bit off more than they could chew.

After an intense run this morning… my body was telling me that it needed some pampering. I didn’t have the strength to cross town to my favorite spot, so I settled on Heaven Day Spa. They were able to accommodate me right way.
I was unimpressed by ambiance of the facility. In fact, I believe that the massage rooms face the busy street of Chestnut so it was a bit noisy. So why the 4 star review? The deep tissue massage was one of the best I’ve ever had. Minutes into the massage i forgot about my surrounding and the noise.
Also, the rates are extremely reasonable.$ 115 for a 90 min deep tissue vs $ 150 at most boutique spas.

Just tried a massage at this place for the first time, and will definitely be going back! Jay is an extremely knowledgable professional– I highly recommend a booking with him. His accupuncture background gives his massage an extra healing quality, and his deep tissue massage was one of the best that I’ve yet had.

1 good massage, 1 *very* poor
I and my girlfriend booked a 1 hour couples massage from Heaven Day Spa. My masseuse, Nicole was good. Unlike my girlfriends massage therapist, who was terrible.
From the get go, her masseuse had an unfriendly, impersonal attitude, almost as if she didn’t want to be there. In the massage room, she didn’t use oil, lotion, or talc, and spent a lot of her time walking around the room. When she did deign to offer a massage, she only attempted to massage my girlfriends neck (a combination of light pinching and stroking), and briefly fluffed her hair, despite her asking for a full body massage that focused on her neck and head. Her technique seemed untrained, random, and without method.
After complaining at the front desk, and paying for the massage (at this point I didn’t realize how bad my girlfriends massage had been, else I wouldn’t have paid), we were assured that the manager, Mr. Scott (?), would call us to discuss our complaint. It’s been a week now, and no call from Mr. Scott.
As a customer, you are at the mercy of the individual masseurs/​masseuses. Some of them are great, some of them are definitely not.
We won’t be returning.

My first massage ever, and it was great! The person at the front desk was really nice and welcoming. They take you up to a room, where it’s calm and relaxing. My massage therapist was very considerate, and she did a very good job with the Swedish massage. I’m very ticklish, but she applied the right amount of pressure. (I liked that she didn’t try to talk up a storm with me because afterall, I was there to relax.) The prices are very reasonable and the spa is located in a very good neighborhood. I would definitely go back for another massage or facial in the future.

Small little place. The store front is downstairs, then they take you upstairs for the massage. Would have preferred a female technician, but only a male was available. Blessing in disguise, the guy was really good with deep tissue. Made my back back a lot better. Think is name was Mening?

Heaven Day Spa, right smack in the heart of the Marina, is one of the best massage options in its price range ($ 75 – 80 for an hour). They manage to filter out the bustle of Chestnut street and to ease away the remainders of a chaotic week that your body has absorbed to its core. The storefront belies the soothing and calming atmosphere of the upstairs massage room, so don’t be turned off by the somber décor downstairs. Each of the 3 masseuses I’ve had was professional and committed to my relaxation. But don’t be late – you’ll only do yourself a disservice as the appointments are prompt and you can’t «tack on» the amount of time that you were late. Happy relaxing!

The massages are nice, the manicure and pedicure good, but the salon services are mediocre at best. I didn’t (and wouldn’t) get color or a cut here, but asked for a simple wash and blow dry. The girl had no idea how to manage a blow dryer or a round brush… or my long thick hair, for that matter. Stick to what they’re good at: Massage, facials and nails.
