Spa J’Adore

Sehr Empfehlenswert :)
Wer eine professionelle Massage zum Entspannen sucht, ist hier vollkommen richtig. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr höflich und man wird wie ein König behandelt.
Einfach nur Top :)

I had an odd situation and I can no longer recommend this place. I bought a gift certificate here for my cousin’s birthday. I had bought several before as gifts and had no problem. Feedback was pretty good. However, the expiration date of the certificate was a week later – I didn’t even notice because I assumed all living social certs were for 120 days. So, she tries to book the appt and is told the cert expired. The owner explained that he would be glad to issue a new cert but that I needed to call LivingSocial because I purchased it. Ok. I call LS, and they say that they have nothing to do with it – it must be the owner who approves the refund and they can re-​issue. Ok. I call the owner back. He insists it’s LS’s fault and that they have to do something. Ok, now I’m getting upset. This is a waste of my time. I paid. Just offer an extension of the certificate – which I explained to him makes sense. He insisted he can’t, and then said that my cousin must be lying about what he said about calling LS. Not cool at all. My cousin is not the complaining type, not a liar, and this just offended me. F-​the owner and f this place. Please go elsewhere.

During our SFO trip, one of my friend recommended me this place. Before our return flight, we went there and got a very relaxing massage I have ever had. After one week in SFO I felt myself reborn before my flight. It was worth every penny. Very nice and amazing experience in SFO. The staff is very friendly and makes you comfortable. I hope in September I will be there again for a distinguish massage experience… highly recommended! Nos vemos chicos!!! Gracias :)

Such a heavenly atmosphere and great body work!
I have been to this place several times and each time I greeted with smile and got helped with absolute friendly behavior. Received massage from three different massage therapist and felt like newborn.
Can’t wait to go back there again!

I got the best hot stone massage ever!! People are super friendly and the building is amazing! I truly recommend it!

Very relaxing. This was my first time getting a massage, and my therapist Sammy was wonderful! She made me feel comfortable and at ease. Will definitely be coming back!

5 stars for Chelsea, 4 stars overall.
Note that while they tell you on the phone they are on the 17^th floor, when you get into the elevator there are only 16 floors… so I go outside — check the building address, I’m in the right building. I ask a guy in the lobby, they tell you to take elevator to 16 and take the stairs to the 17^th. You would think they could tell you that.
So I get there, and they share a reception area with a bunch of other businesses. I did realize that «their» reception is at the end of the hall, where you go to pay. The water glasses at the end are, teeny — like shot glasses.
And here is the reason they lose a point. I go to only about 1 massage a year. it is hard enough to turn off my «monkey mind» for the experience. I was not a fan of the music they play, some Enya (which was *fine”/appropriate) what drove me insane was all the (not quite Musak) versions of real songs done in flute or clarinet, Maybe Kenny G? it would take me ½ of a song to try and figure out what «light rock» song they were covering… rather than concentrate on the massage itself. Give me birds or waterfalls. The music drove me crazy. BUT YEAH to Chelsea.
I got this on a Groupon, so it was a really good deal. $ 65.

Dali is very very nice, this is a very hidden gem. It was quiet and the massage therapists were very good. The view on the balcony is lovely. I would go back again, even though I live in San Jose. Try it out, worth the drive.

I’ve recently found my old account for Unilocal and I’m in the midst of transferring over my reviews. The rating and the review are exactly the same so their overall review didn’t change as I’ve deleted my reviews from my old account and it’s not inactive. Reposting the old reviews with my previous ratings was the only way I can transfer these over unfortunately.

The 2 stars is for the way they run this spa not about the quality of the massages. I was here today and got a massage by Dario (he is amazing like everyone said below. He used warm towels during the massage which none of the other masseuses have done, kuddos!) Here is what went wrong with the spa:
— 1.5 weeks before my appointment I received an e-​mail that my appt was canceled with no explanation. I e-​mailed the spa and they told me they were doing renovations. I told them as courtesy that they should at least have told their customers because I had made an appt with Aesthetics Laser (which was in the same building only because I knew I was getting the massage).
— She then said there happened to be room that day after all but at a different time and that Aracely would be my masseuse. Ok cool, I’m not picky just as long as it is female.
— I showed up and Dario greets me… As good as Dario was, I always request females because I feel awkward with a male massaging me (that isn’t my boyfriend) so I did not get to relax during my massage.
— And only because I had to write this review but every time I have gotten a massage here, they have cut me short of an hour. When I arrive early, on time, or late the massage is always cut off 10 mins before the hour should have been done… weird.
The pluses is that the staff is very friendly and offers me refreshments but the system really needs tweaking if they want returning customers.

Good place for a cheap massage. The lady I had — Mimi I think — was pretty rough — but she asked me if it was okay. I was fine with the high pressure — but felt more like a workout than massage. She focused mostly on upper back — not sure if it was b/​c I was really tight or what.
Ambiance was pretty bad — but I didn’t mind. They had a clean space but exposed ceilings, the lobby was nice but the rooms are really small. Didn’t matter too much to me though — the table/​bed was nice and it smelled good. Not a lot of noise — so it was still relaxing. Good for an in and out service — not the place to go relax and have a spa day.
Overall it was fine but nothing I’d rave about. Got a good deal so if you’re looking for a quick fix on the cheap this is a good bet.

I took my sister here as a gift for her birthday.
I had Sammi, and she was amazing! She started nice and slow, took her time to feel where my knots were and asked each time she increased the pressure if I was comfortable. There were a few times when I wasn’t as comfortable however I knew I had some tension that needed to be released. She asked if there was anywhere she’d like me to spend more time and she massaged me into a coma.
Before finishing she massaged my neck again including my head and face. I felt like a new person leaving there. I can’t wait to go back.
The only reason I gave the place 4 stars and not 5 is that our massage wasn’t a full hour it ended right 15 minutes earlier.

I came here once with a girlfriend and it was one of the best massages I’ve had so far. We came here for a one hour Swedish massage. I was assigned to a male masseuse which I felt uncomfortable about in the beginning but he did an excellent job. I wish I remembered his name but it has been so long. It was very relaxing and I fell asleep toward the end and woke up feeling rejuvenated. He also cracked my neck which I freaked out about but it didn’t hurt at all. I am overall very pleased with the experience and I’d love to come back. My only complaint about this place is driving here. It’s very inconvenient because it’s located in downtown (a lot of traffic) and parking is difficult to find.

Review for 1 hr, Swedish massage on Saturday, lunch time:
–Thanks Ilya for one of the best massages I ever had!
— bought 3 more 1-​hr massages (was more cost effective than the LivingSocial coupon!)
— no pool or hot tub services, but massage is well worth it without those services
Tips:
— Take elevator to 16^th floor
— follow the signs and walk up to the 17^th floor
— walk all the way to the end of the hall to suite 1700
— you need a key to the bathroom, key is hanging on the wall, of the front suite door
— if you’re in the neighborhood, go have some yummy phở!

The staff was really friendly, therapist was very attentive, she asked about pressure often which I liked, very relaxing, nice waiting area. The offered cucumber and lemon infused water after massage.

Booked a last minute massage today at Spa J’Adore through Massagenow, and had a really good experience, First of all the location is amazing! Penthouse with rooftop access over looking the city! Cant get that too man places. I was greeted by a friendly gentleman at the front desk, and then another gentleman a few moments later. When it was time for my massage Rodrigo came and escorted me to a really cool massage room that was the perfect temperature and very cozy. The décor is so unique. Rodrigo was really amazing, he asked me a few questions and got to work. This was one of the best massages I have had in a while. Rodrigo applied the Perfect amount of pressure and his style was so rhythmic and not rushed. I was so impressed with his skills I would recommend him without hesitation. The massage was what I always envision a massage should be. Will definitely see him again! Thanks Rodrigo you really helped me out today!

This review is for Dario, the massage therapist who worked on me. He is so gifted. Most of the massages I’ve had in the past always felt short of being complete when the session ended. Dario was exceptional! He was very thorough with working on my neck and upper back. He even cracked my neck and back and told me that he realigned me in those areas. He has a background in chiropractic studies & over 15years of massage therapy that left me feeling renewed!

It was impossible to make an appointment at the desired time. Over the course of 6 months, I had an unfortunate time using up my 3 massages because they were always booked. I work and can only come after 5. There are so many places around and will have no issues. Not coming back to this place.

This was an interesting experience. Since finding the spa that I have a membership with, I haven’t strayed to any other place. But while thumbing through my expired Groupons, I noticed a gift from an old boyfriend for a massage at Spa J’Adore and figured, why not? So I booked and headed up last night for a *free* one hour massage.
The location and price range is made for tourists. My massage with Ilya was fine, he did a good job. My one complaint is caused by what happened at the very end of the massage, I’m totally relaxed and chilled out, and Ilya starts whispering about the massage package deal they have for $ 150. I’m sorry, but who needs to be sold something after they just «bought» something, and while in such a relaxed state? Business is business, so I understand what he was trying to do, but there’s a time and a place, and it’s not while your customer is still lying on the massage table, covered only by a thin sheet in a cold room.
I will probably not be back soon because Spaya treats me and my bank account so well.

It took me a little while to find, but I eventually found it! This place was so beautiful beyond belief. It was very clean and had such a great atmosphere. It was such a serene place to wind down and relax after a month of stress. Got a wonderful, one hour massage and left with a smile on my face. I will be coming back!

I traveled to SF for a quick work trip. I stopped in and saw Ricardo. He was excellent! The room was cramped and drafty and didn’t have a relaxing feel to it. But Ricardo made up for that.

Really liked this spa – quiet relaxing music. Bit difficult to schedule an appointment but worth the effort in the end!

I just had a massage with Zeek and it was so marvelous and effective that I have to Unilocal about it. Zeek has a massage style that ive never had before. He definitely can tell what your body needs and caters to it. I did hot yoga the day prior and I was aching and he knew how to relieve it. Plus, Zeek has done massages for Paris Hilton and John Travolta! I definitely recommend him. I also recommend Spa J’adore in general because they prove such great rates which I love because then I know my tip will go directly to the masseuse. I love the location to be honest because you can park at stockton garage for a very reasonable price versus $ 30 garages. Plus they are located at the penthouse of 490 post which is a treat and like a getaway, You can even see that SF parrots hanging out on their balcony.

I’ve been a loyal customer for at least 4 months and love going to Zeek. I was very disappointed (Shocked) when I called into the spa and requested Zeek as usual and the owner of the spa told me that Zeek was no longer working at the spa. I depend on Zeek and my wellness and health for my well being in life. I was so confused that Zeek is gone with no reason. He was the best at what he does and I don’t think it was nice to just refer me to another person so nonchalant when he knows how shocked I was that I have lost someone who gives me a lifetime of relief. I also have two more session left and wanted my $ back instead of going to another masseuse.

Like other reviewers I saw for Spa J’Adore, I originally purchased a massage package via Unilocal or Groupon back around 2009. At the time, I thought it was nice– worth the money (especially with a deal) but I wasn’t blown away or anything. I actually forgot to even use my last session– and that is just NOT the kind of thing I usually forget! Fast-​forward to this summer, I was grumpily shopping nearby and remembered Spa J’Adore. I called and they happily let me apply my expired massage Groupon to a new booking, gave me more than it was really worth, PLUS… (drumroll please) told me I could come in for an appointment in as soon as thirty minutes!
The place has definitely been upgraded over the last few years, and it looks just beautiful! They have a very tasteful & serene vibe going on, plus they made the outdoor patio so much more inviting– and what a view!!. The front office staff and manager are all so great, and the handful of masseuses I have had in the last few months have all have been exceptional! They don’t skimp on time or muscle, one very lovely man even went over by 15 – 20 min because I was his last appointment of the day and I think he felt bad because my sad little back and neck were just in knots. They have consistantly had appointments readily available– even when I call day-​of. Originally I didn’t love the idea of trekking to Union Square to relax because, well, its Union Square, but Spa J’Adore makes it completely worth every one-​way street and tourist mob!

I was introduced to Spa J’Adore over a year ago when my boyfriend purchased a gift certificate for me on Unilocal.After an amazing first massage with Arsely, I was hooked, and purchased the 3 massage deal they had at the time.
Over the course of 8 months, I had an unfortunate time using up my 3 massages because they were always booked. With one massage left, I was told that since 6 months had elapsed, my last massage was no longer valid. Feeling as though the 6-​month restriction wasn’t clearly explained at purchase, I left a message and emailed to try speaking with a manager — No response. I found this disappointing because a great massage therapist was paired with terrible customer service.
Fast forward several months. I was in the neighborhood and thought maybe if I popped in, I could speak with a manger (Can you tell I wanted to see Arsely again? She worked wonders!). Apparently a change in ownership had occurred between the time I was denied my last massage and stopping in. The new owner, taking the burden of cost on himself, listened to my concerns and helped me book that last massage. My next massage wasn’t with Arsley, however I had another great therapist (Dario) and took a gamble purchasing the 3 massage deal again.
Today, I couldn’t be happier with Spa J’Adore! Massage one of the few professional services I am willing to spend money on because it truly is therapeutic to me. Each time I’ve returned, I’ve had a new therapist; all equally as professional and each uniquely skilled. Each person is knowledgable and extremely talented at what they do — they take their jobs seriously. I appreciate the music, atmosphere and new owner’s dedication to amazing customer service. I’m glad I ended up stopping back a few months ago — Thank you! :)

LOVE this place!
It’s on the penthouse level (up the elevator to the 16^th floor and up 1 flight of stairs) — a hidden gem in Union Square! I received a 1-​hour massage with Sammy who used a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, and Thai to get out ever last knot in my back. She checked in often, asked questions, and had just the right level of pressure. I left feeling great!
I definitely can’t wait to go back!

Love Spa J’adore. They have a great location right in Union Square, in the penthouse of 490 Post. The views conjure images of a past San Francisco era that one rarely finds these days in modern SF (which may as well be Cincinnati or St. Louis… — boring).
The space inside is very soothing, and especially conducive to relaxing. Zeke has great hands and I’ll definitely be back.

I came here for a massage on a Saturday afternoon and it was amazing. We both had Zeke and he could tell right off the bat what type of job I had based on my posture and knots in my neck and shoulder.
I left Spa J’Adore feeling so relaxed and Zeke did an amazing job! He definitely checks in to see how you’re feeling during the massage and asks where you want him to focus on too. What surprised me was getting a face massage too, I never get that as a massage place. The staff is super friendly too and checks in to see how you’re doing.
The outside balcony area isn’t super big but it is super cute and the view is amazing! There were parrots outside and one even modeled for me when I was taking a picture of it haha so adorable!

If you go to San Francisco and if you need a massage you should definitely stop by Spa J’adore. The staff is knowledgeable, the place is clean and neat, on the top of that you can enjoy the view from their lovely rooftop :)

Reasonable price, great massage, convenient location (with a gorgeous view and parrots:)) and looks like they care about customer experience.
I heard it through my friend and wanted to give it a try. I took advantage of their online deal (3×60 min) and I enjoyed the first two session. I will definitely buy another 3 massages with no hesitation.
New owner seems like he really cares about improving the quality of massage and provides better customer service. So I’m sure they will continue to offer great services.

HORRIBLE! DO NOT COME HERE!!!
ZEEK ripped me off 10 minutes, and then showed me the tip jar, then I asked him if I got the full hour, and then he was like «ooohh you have 10 more minutes» … HE knew he was ripping me off and still pointed to the tip jar… Also the massage wasn’t even fantastic… This place is all Hype… Don’t waste your time here.

This place is great! I’ve visited them last year and left there with a nice, relaxed feeling after my massage therapy. So I decided to go back yesterday, I called and made an appointment. The facility is neat, clean and well taken care off! My entire experience was amazing. My masseuse was very gentle and knowledgeable. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, opened every single knot on my neck area and the lower back.
I am writing this review to thank you all for your great service. I will definitely be back!

Terrible space, there was a screen or sheet set up between my massage and the next, all I could hear was what was going on next door. Apparently a stone massage. For $ 120.00 it was not the right choice. Sorry Unilocal,you let me down on this one.
P. S. The owner took the time to contact me and apologize. Seems they just purchased the Spa and are making changes. A complimentary massage was offered and appreciated though I was on vacation so unlikely to redeem.

Be aware, don’t buy the voucher of this spa. SUCK!
I bought the one 6 massages voucher from this spa through living social. And I had been given me such a hard time every time I tried to schedule the appointment because they were remodeling for year, wth right! But yeah I was able to use all my 5 vouchers, except the last one. Because my voucher was expired. And they refused to honor my voucher, and said they can’t help me with that, and even refused to give me back at least the credit I paid for. So I contacted living social, and they refused to help me as well. I tried to explain to them the situation because the spa kept remodeling and was unable to take appointment that was why my voucher ended up expired.
