Serenity Day Spa of Fremont

It has been almost a year and my husband and I still love this place very much which is why I feel the need to add a new review.
We try to go almost every Sunday, the excellent massage you get here prepares you for the work week.
Thia is my masseuse now and she is amazing!
Lisa is my husband’s masseuse and he also thinks that she is amazing.
Bottom line is that every masseuse I have tried in this place has given me an excellent service and we will continue going as long as we can because of the excellent service and also the great customer service.
Big thumbs up to Serenity Day Spa of Fremont :)

The place looks decent. The massage was good for the amount spent. The receptionist was very aggressive for tips and she was demanding for it. Except that do go for massage but sadly you have to tip heavily

Awful massage for a deep tissue. Don’t go here. The masseuse I had, had no idea how to give one

First off I would not say this is not a spa more but more of a massage parlor. Which isnt bad, unless your looking for a relaxing and soothing environment.
I had a knot that was driving me nuts and was getting worse so I needed a massage asap. They had the best pricing I could find that wasn’t seedy. It was $ 50 for an hour massage. I called to schedule an appointment and was told I didnt need one that I could just walk-​in. I walked in and was greeted right away by a really nice receptionist. She checked me in and I was immediatly walked to a room, I was expecting to wait since I was walk in…
The room was nice and clean, however I noticed the walls didnt go all the way to the ceiling, so you could hear everything going on. They did have some soothing music playing.
The girl who did my massage was excellent. I chose the deep tissue massage and she definitely did a deep tissue massage, prob one of the best Ive ever had. I felt bad cause im sure her fingers hurt from getting all my knots outs. Most of the massage was on my stomach and maybe 10 min on my back, but most of my knots were in my back.
She did just leave the room at the end, but thank goodness I read the Unilocal reviews mentioning they left to get hot towels. Otherwise I would have never known where she had gone, since she didnt say anything. The hot towels were soothing after the massage.
I tipped her $ 15 cause she did an excellent job. I tipped her outside the room door and walked to the lobby. I was thanked and was told to come back soon. There was never any mention or pressure about tipping that some Unilocal reviews had wrote.
All in all I walked awY happy and knot free. I would definitely go back again.

This place is not bad. For what you pay there is great value. Not luxury by any means but good enough to keep you coming back. Pros: decent massage. Cons: the massage therapists get mad if you don’t tip more than $ 10 and it seems as if they talk crap about you in their native language with others there as your leaving if you do not tip more.

Good massage actually rub muscles not just bones and tendons like some other Asian places. Only problem is they leave to answer phone and fiddle with office stuff a lot interrupting massage.

This is perfect for the price. Sukhi did the massage and she was great.

Certainly every penny back for the $ 50/​hr. Walked in late in the evening, but still got a very good service. Alisha was very systematic.
Certainly going back

Thorough massage but too painful. Couldn’t walk the next day. Also too much light In the room, not relaxing and the ticking of the clock was jarring when trying to relax. The place also demanded more of a tip not realizing I had given my person a tip in cash. Over all the place was demanding and the atmosphere not relaxing. I wouldn’t recommend it especially for the price and the demand of more money.

My boyfriend bought us a couple massage here. The receptionist was nice and friendly and we scheduled our appointment with no problems.
The room seemed a little too small for two massage beds. The masseuses were constantly walking into each others and things around the room. The massage itself was mediocre. My boyfriend and I have been getting a lot of massages in the past year and we’ve had a lot of great ones, but this was definitely not one of them. Usually, after a massage we felt really relaxed and soothed. This time around, we felt the same as before the massage. My masseuse almost burned me with the hot stone but overall the hot stone session was an interesting experience.
Toward the end, both masseuses left the room for 5 mins without saying anything. My boyfriend and I were super confused because we didn’t know if they’d be back since we had 15 mins left in our session or that the session has ended. They did come back with some hot towels afterward, but I would’ve appreciated them telling us «be right back» or something. We definitely felt like we overpaid and needless to say, we won’t be back.

You get what you pay for. $ 50 for an hour long massage? This isn’t Burke Williams so don’t expect that.
I called on a Saturday morning for my husband and I to come in later that afternoon. The receptionist said to come at 3pm so we did. When we got there, I said we had an appointment and she looked like there was no record of it. Then she asked for my number and checked her mobile phone to see that yes, she did receive a call from my number earlier.
We pay. She tells my husband to go through the door that takes him into a hallway with more rooms. For me? She tell me to enter into the massage room that’s right across from the receptionist desk. Turns out the receptionist is also my masseuse! That didn’t bother me because if someone has the skills, then they have the skills.
But there were a couple times when the phone rang or a customer walked through the door and she would have to stop my massage and tend to them. There was even an instance when the phone rang so many times that another masseuse answered it and then brought the phone inside our room for my receptionist/​masseuse to answer it! But lucky for me that time, she shushed the other masseuse away.
Don’t bother making a far-​in-​advance appointment here because it may not be honored. I noticed a lot of people call on the day of but on that Saturday, there were a lot of calls and eventually they had to be turned down.
As for the massage, it was a normal Swedish massage with some extra chopping and intense swaying (felt like she was trying to shake me awake) motions at the end. I indicated that I wanted a soft level and that’s what I got. The first 45 minutes of my massage was on my stomach and the last 15 minutes was on my back where she worked on my head and shoulders.
I’ve been to a couple Chinese run massage places and this is how it is everywhere. You pay less because you don’t get robes, soothing music, a variety of hot teas, or any extra lounging/​bathing areas. Heck, it’s not even a nice building; it’s in the middle of a business park.

I randomly walked in a few days ago and inquired about the prices and what they have to offer and I felt discriminated against. She kept rushing me out, and didn’t feel they wanted me there. It was a strange vibe and I am glad I didn’t waste my money.

Third time going in for a massage over the years of living in the Fremont area. It is in a tucked away place, and not an overly fancy spa, but still very clean and relaxing environment. The times I have gotten massages at fancy hotels, the massages were good but buying into the scene more than an excellent massage. However, Serenity Day Spa, what a great deal, and a relaxing environment. I can tell they have worked hard to make a successful business and I appreciate it. Loved the customer service, the massage was awesome, pressure just right. Great deal and next time I want to treat myself to another massage I will be back for sure. I worked with (I think), Ana, very kind, asked about pressure, and great job. Focussed on the shoulder blades, since I pointed it out on my intake sheet and also neck. Will be back for sure and recommend!

OMG! Suki saved my life! Needed a serious DEEP tissue massage & she melted away my pain with her masterfully powerful hands. I can actually live again! And best of all, I can now enter into the New Year refreshed! I was in so much pain for about a week & had gone to 2 other places, but neither got into the areas I needed to bust out the tension. They truly care about you here. It’s high quality for a serious massage. However, be specific on what you want and need so they can accommodate. I like «strong» and I emphasized it, so they matched me perfectly. Others may not want that, so be specific. I’m so excited I cannot wait to come back! Cheers! I HIGHLY recommend it here! Give it a try! They’re very particular on the types of people they hire, so any one will do a great job. They also offer different services, so check it out!

My wife bought me 2 gift certificates for this place for my birthday which was nice. I call ahead and book a time for a massage. I take off work early and get someone to look after the kids. I arrive and announce myself to the owner of the spa that I’m here for my massage. She looks at me and said «Oh, I remember you called the other day but I forgot to write your name down». She asked if I can come back later.
I was quietly upset and just walked out. How can you run a business like this? It was a big deal for me just to get there.
I walked back in the door and asked for a refund. She said there is no refunds on the gift certificates. By this time I was upset. I was not going to let anyone there give me a massage or touch me. The owner did not go out of her way to make thing right between us.
I was greatly disappointed. I gave my wife the gift certificates.

First time customer. I called ahead to make an appointment and didn’t need one. Walked in and paid the $ 49 up front. (Used cash to determine tip later). I didn’t catch the name of the girl who massaged me but she did a great job, very thorough and responsive to areas that I like deep pressure and light in others. Nice hot towel wipe down to remove lotion. I have to admit, I was surprised to hear «normally $ 20 tip» as soon as I was clothed, but then again $ 69 for a nice hour long full body massage is still a bargain. Plus it’s Fremont, I’m sure they have people walk out and not tip so save yourself that awkward moment and have a $ 20 ready to tip with. Average ending, although I’m sure there are alternates

Serenity Day Spa is within 10 minutes of my work and I like to go on my lunch hour.
Shelley is AMAZING. I like the lighter massages and she has perfect pressure. I like coming here once every 1 — 2 weeks.
The only thing I did notice (which wasn’t important enough to me to cause concern) is that the walls are very thin so if someone is a talker in the room next to you, you’ll hear the muffles. Outside noises don’t distract me and my lunches are late so there really isn’t anyone else there.

The massage therapist is awesome but the lady at the front desk does not know what customer service means.
I am working in this city now and very much addicted to massage.
I WILL NOT GO BACK BECAUSE OF THE FRONT DESK LADY.
VERY UNPROFFESIONAL.

$ 42 for one hour foot reflexology massage foot only. They do not offer ½ hour sessions. When they do the foot reflexology they only massage the foot and lower leg. Some places will massage mostly the foot and some of the full body. I had surgery 6 months ago and couldnt walk for some months, now my other foot is hurting, plantar fasciitis, or heel pain, my ortho doctor told me that foot massages will help. So here we are at Serenity spa, i want my therapist to focus on my heel pain or it is not worth it. Now we got out of the way what i want. the lady was named Suki, she did a fabulous job, i would have to say she is an over achiever and in this instance that is a very good thing, she even went over my time because she wanted to loosen my entire foot, now that is what i call service!!!

I called in right before I left the house to get a massage and they were able to fit me in. The place doesn’t look too fancy or anything, but it looked clean and relaxing. I got a hour massage (I think her name was Sookie?) who gave a really deep deep tissue massage. She really went in there and worked on my knots and I have a lot of them! She told me how I got them from my positioning and how if I didn’t change the way I was positioned, my condition could worsen into something serious!
She was really nice and asked several times about whether or not the pressure was too hard. She really focused on the knots but didn’t neglect other areas of my body! I got a whole body massage and she even used hot stones at the end! I never had hot stones before but it felt great! I definitely want to head back again soon and try to get all those knots out!
