Harmony Day Spa

Came here last night for the first time with friends and had an amazing experience. The massage was so good we all fell asleep. Mai did my massage and she has such gentle hands and new exactly how much pressure to apply for it to feel good and not painful. She didn’t hurt me at all. We got the $ 15 foot massage which includes $ 30 min feet. 10 min arms 10 min head 10 min shoulders. We had a great experience.
Only down side is that if you’re paying with card they charge $ 2 extra.

Tammy is great, Love my eyebrows. She took her time… I totally recommend this spa…

After going to this place for so many years, I noticed this last time that they reuse the same gloves to rub the feet; reuse the towels bc mine smelled like sweat; and they reuse the same bag to soak ur feet in!
I won’t go there ever again.

I bought a Groupon for my friend’s birthday. He told me that the massage was very good. However, after the massage was finished, he went to the front desk to give a tip. He gave $ 8 since that was what he had in his wallet. The receptionist then counted the money in front of him and gave it to the masseur. He asked my friend if he had more money and that tipping is a minimum of $ 10. My friend was taken aback since tips should be optional and if there was an expectation of a minimum amount, the least they can do is tactlessly put a sign up stating that. This was my friend’s first massage, he knew that tips were encouraged, however, if he knew they were expecting a $ 10 minimum, he would have went to the bank to get the money so he could have avoided the whole awkward situation of being asked for more money. He said the massage was very good, however, the demand for additional tips was extremely off-​putting. I’m cringing as I’m writing this review, it just seemed tactless and not very good customer service practice.

Zero stars. The worst massage place ever!!! If you want to step into a place that smells like b.o. (because they do not change out any of their towels after each customer) only to get massaged by odoriferous cigarette-​smelling bad-​breath masseuses, then this place is for you! Seriously, it should be mandatory for these types of businesses to maintain a high level of healthy-​hygeinic standards/​practices so diseases don’t run rampant. This place is really disgusting! Grade F–

This Place is Amazing!!!
Please Read my previous review… Somehow it got changed to a 4 Star but this is the best massage place in all of San Gabriel Valley.
My wife have been coming here for years and drive quite a way for this fantastic service!

Came by this place bc we were already in SGV area and Mater Wong was overbooked. The massage was so bad, it ruined my mood. The lady i had and the man my husband had were so weak. We had to keep telling them to increase the pressure. If we wanna have someone caress us, we could have caress each other for free instead of paying some strangers to do so. Never come back here again

Tried the body massage for the first time and was disappointed to say the least.
I thought it would be at least as relaxing as the foot massage I had here, but was I wrong!
If you like arm n elbow massages over thick towels draped over you with the ambiance of drilling and hammering going on next door with lights on, then I guess this place is for you… not me!
This was about as relaxing as laying on the carpet with my kids jumping on my back and the TV blasting in the background!

Horrible newbie massage therapists! The guy (bald headed male masseur) did not know how to apply pressure. He used a sticky hand sanitizer/​lotion mix on my face to massage my face and that mix is all in my hair and it’s all greasy!!! I stopped my guy in the middle of my massage because I could not stand his foul breath and dirty smelling cushion and towels. I tried to bear with it for as long as I could but got up in the middle of it. Then I asked the owner if the towels are washed after each client and the answer they gave me was «no» only washed each day!!! NOT AFTER EACH CLIENT. That is sooo disgusting I smelled it all throughout my massage and all I could smell is someone’s sweaty nastiness from the large towels. Also, he had NO idea where my muscles and bones were. Do not go to this nasty place. Will never ever return. F–

I’m in harmony with this fine establishment. I came to get my eye brows tattooed due to thining. Gotta love that Tammy. She is amazing. I was a little afraid of the pain but Tammy put something on my brows prior to her performing her magnificent art on me and I didn’t feel a thing. She made me so relaxed that I caught myself falling asleep from time to time. I love it

Never coming back!
The «‘massagist» was gone during the time. Leave me alone on the bed for almost 20mins. After words I realized it’s the law-​enforced officials from city hall came to survey. Most of the «massagist“don’t even have a license! THIS IS TERRIBLE! And their English scale = 0

My mom and I came here since our usual place was too packed. I had read mixed reviews on Unilocal,but decided to try it anyways. My mom choose the $ 15 foot massage (which is actually just a general 10 min massage on different body parts) and I had the $ 20 foot only massage. We started with a foot soak (just hot water), then preceded to the massage.
My massage itself wasn’t good. I didn’t feel relaxed at all. She put way too much pressure with her thumbs, and it felt like she was pinching me. I work on my feet 12+ hours/​day when working and was hoping for some relief. I didn’t feel any better after my massage.
My mom said she’s had better massages at other places, and she felt that her massage therapist didn’t know what she was doing.
And why is there a television in the room playing a video on monkeys?
We won’t be returning.

Came a couple of times and everytime it is a different person who massage me and they’re generally pretty good. Took my relatives who came for visiting and all of them complimented that their masseur is good! That’s good to hear.
1 hour massage cost $ 15, pretty reasonable for the quality of massage we have. My masseur is very detailed and constantly asked me if I’m ok with the strength he used. Without telling him, he kind of know which area he should focus on for my shoulder. Overall, great experience.
Tips:
~ Go for foot massage, it is way better and much cheaper than having body massage!

This place is a joke. I gave 2 stars because I liked the foot soak and the girl I got was really nice. I feel bad she has to work here. Unbelievable what they charge for such mediocre work. And we had a groupon.
My girl was literally patting me and did no real massage. Then proceeded to laugh with other therapists at something (I’ll never know what) isn’t it supposed to be quiet in here?
The lady in the front got really pissed when we forgot cash for tip. She offered to ring us up for a tip with A 4 $ FEE wtf I’ve never Heard of such a thing. My bf tried to get money out of the atm there and got a receipt saying no funds available yet this morning had a charge on his statement like he got money out.
Just no, go somewhere else. Please.

I was so drained yesterday in the office that I decided to go for a massage. Went on Groupon to check out the deals and found out that there’s a $ 10 off on all massages. So Harmony Day Spa here I come because the review is pretty good for a body massage by Annie.
Not a fancy pants spa, just the basic amenities, pretty dim and with some soft music — very conducive to falling asleep.
I asked for Annie, and once she appeared in the room, she asked where are my problem areas so, that she can concentrate on those areas. She did a fantastic job on my neck and shoulder and she recommended that I change my pillow to a thinner and softer one. Let’s see if that helps.
Anyway, this morning when I woke up, I felt my shoulder and neck not stiff at all. That’s a feeling that I missed so much.
Anyhow, I made another appointment next week same day same time. If it alleviates my small aches and pains, I might make it a weekly appointment.

ONLY GET A FOOT RUB HERE. DO NOT GET A BODY MASSAGE. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
I’ve had their foot rubs before and they were great. My feet felt great.
I came here for a body massage with my aunt and OMG. IT WAS HORRIBLE.
This isn’t my usual place but because my aunt wanted a massage so late, this was the only place open. And they have no idea who to do a massage. They use their elbows the entire time and totally caused me bruising and swelling!
I feel like they had no idea how the body works and where the muscles go. A professional wouldn’t cause so many bruises!!!
I’ve gotten cheap and expensive deep tissue body massages… And this is not supposed to happen.
I’m really shocked to see a bruise develop from a massage place!!!
Feet is fine. Avoid the body. They don’t know what they are doing.

Sooo relaxing! I came Mother’s day weekend by coincidence and took advantage of the $ 30 1hr body massage. I had a female masseuse, and she applied just the right amount of pressure.
It was fabulously relaxing. Would come again!
Walked in for the massage when we came.

3.5 stars
My friend comes to Harmony Day Spa bi-​weekly for his massage fix so after dinner one day three of us decided we needed some relaxation after a tough week (but it was only Monday…) lol.
Harmony Day Spa isn’t like most massage parlors i’ve been to in the 626. When you enter, there’s a long room with tea, fortune cookies, water, a couch and the front desk. Tell the employee which massage you want and they will either lead you where you need to go. The foot massage ($ 15) area has about 15 seats in a dim lit room with calm & relaxing music. There are signs to keep quiet as a massage is in session which I LOVE LOVE LOVE since the other massage parlors have the employees speaking to each other loudly all the time!
The foot massage starts off with dipping your foot in salted warm water while getting your shoulders and back massaged. After, you lay down (face up) and they start working on your arms and neck. Normally they also do head too but the lady that was doing my massage just kept on doing a movement that was basically scratching my hair for about 5 – 10 minutes. It was a little weird and didn’t feel that great. Afterwards, they will start on your feet and calves before its over. Overall, I think our massage only lasted 50 minutes instead of the full hour .Some whispering chit chattering going on between all three of our masseuse. They brought out a cup of hot tea post massage which was nice. I prefer foot massages that flip you on your back too which they do not do at Harmony.
Decent massage parlor. I would come back if I needed a foot massage focused on shoulders and foot. Parking lot behind with a good amount of spots! Call in if you have more than 2 people coming so they can have staff present.

After dinner in San Gabriel, we decided to get a foot massage somewhere nearby. As we walked out from the restaurant, there must have been around ten different foot massage placed that is walking distance. We couldn’t just walk straight into a place for an automatic massage, but instead we had to hang out and walk around the area for the food to settle in our stomachs.
Yes, it was also the fact of trying to break the monotony of always going to the same place over again.
Of all the massage places we checked out, we decided on Harmony Day Spa. To be honest, the place looked clean and non-​shady helped us make the decision. Oh yeah, and also the 3−½ stars… and it was $ 15.00. Some places are now charging $ 20.00 for a foot massage now.
Well, I wasn’t too satisfy with my massage here. I felt my masseuse wasn’t that strong, and she was probably still learning the art. All four of us who went all felt the same way that their masseuses wasn’t able to loosen up muscles, nor was the foot massage effective. It basically felt like a light body rub with not much effort put into it.
My massuese was nice, but unfortunately I felt the same way tightness even after she finished the hour. After a massage, I usually feel destroyed with pain and less knots. That is when I know the massuese was strong and competent. The end results shows.
This place wasn’t able to do it. It felt like it was more painful for her to do the massage. And at the end, she was probably suffering more than me. Lol.
I don’t know what else to say but please bring in stronger masseuses, and keep the weaker ones on call when needed by the client.
My conclusion is creatures of habit might be more worthwhile since we already know what to expect.

The thing I love about Asian massage places is that they’re so affordable that you can spontaneously stop into one and get a bit pampered any time. No need to save up for a $ 150 Burke Williams day — if you don’t care so much about the frills, then this is just fine.
I think the day I wandered in they were doing a $ 30 hour massage special. Reading the other reviews, it looks like they offer even steeper discounts at times, so keep an eye out for specials and sales that they offer.
The first thing I was impressed by was that they were able to take six of us without an appointment. They have a ton of staff just waiting to massage! Some of us chose individual rooms and some did couples rooms. The rooms are pretty much just separated with curtains so you can hear everything, but everyone seems to be pretty respectful of each other and it’s pretty peaceful. The only thing that interrupted the tranquil vibe for me was a guy who worked there who kept hocking loogies outside my room.
My massage artist was good, though a little more gentle than I like. I’m sure if I told her to use more elbow grease she would have. Asian massage therapists in my experience are much more efficient than ones at normal salons… they don’t waste a lot of time with the gentle stuff, they get right into those knots and work them until they’re gone, or close to gone. In my case my neck and shoulder knots will never be completely gone (working at a laptop every day will do that to you), but I walked out feeling much less tense.
I later found out that the guys I was with got a lot of time devoted to head/​face massages. That’s one of my favorite parts so I wish she had spent more time doing that than the legs, which I don’t like as much. Again, something I’m sure she’d be happy to adjust to if I asked… it just feels weird when you’re in a quiet dark room to give instructions.
If you want a foot or body massage and don’t have time for the bells and whistles of a full-​on spa, I think your muscles will thank you for going to Harmony!
