Escape Day Spa

I love this place! I’ve been there since I was 20 and now I’m 25. It’s very clean and the music is so relaxing. The receptionists are very friendly and therapists are so good. That’s why I come see them every week to do my 1.5 massage! J’von is one of the best ones but they’re all pretty good! I’m so glad I found this place 5 years ago.

Omg wow… I want to marry this Chinese masseuse. Seriously one of the best massages I’ve ever had wow feeling like spaghetti leaving this place.
His name is Sam. If you like deep tissue you will be in heaven

Tina listened to what I needed. I was looking to relieve the knots on my shoulders, upper back, and neck. Using trigger points and the median of shiatsu and Swedish, my tension was lifted. Great service!

What a great experience. I do get massages on a regular basis and let me tell you Nancy is one of the best. She is petite, but don’t let her appearance fool you. She has great touch with just the right amount of pressure. Nancy is very knowledgeable and it shows, that she loves her job. Thank you very much and I will be back!

Finally had a chance to try this Spa, after hearing my friends recommendation I decided to give it a chance. I do a lot of cardio and heavy core through out the week. I tend to be quite delicate when it comes go back pain specially the upper back/​neck area. Well this young lady named Nancy did a wonderful job. I explained her my muscle pain and how I wasn’t that tolerable with hard messages, well not only did she do a great job she over exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back and recommending this place is a must!

As a former bodybuilding competitor, massages for me have to be healing and relaxing! This place is THE place! I have been to this spa a couple of times for a massage. They are very accommodating and super clean. Chris is my massage therapist. I am recovering from a back surgery and she is a very good sports massage therapist. Ever since I found her, every therapist I have tried disappoints me. I also like that they are always on time and I can always find parking. It is super close to the freeway so I can come in during lunch time.
They always offer discounts, and if it is your birthday you get a discount. The normal price is affordable and allows me to come back often. This place is a hidden gem and you definitely get more than what you pay for. I am also excited to try the Lypossage!
Ja estive nesse spa varias vezes. Sempre facil de achar um horario e o lugar e muito limpo. Chris e a minha therapist. Eu estou me recuperando de uma cirurgia nas costas e ela entende muito bem o processo de recuperacao e o quanto de forca ela pode usar. Eles estao sempre no horario e sempre acho lugar para estacionar, assim consigo ir no horario de almoco ou entre um cliente e outro.
Eles tambem oferecem varios descontos, incluindo no seu aniversario. Nao cheguei a experimentar os outros servicos, mas a massagem eu nao troco por nenhum outro lugar. Super recomendo!!!

I was highly recommended by a friend to come to Escape Day Spa. I’ve been having issues with my neck and upper back, working out and driving 3 hours daily has taking a toll on my body. The place is in a small plaza and is very clean. $ 40 for 60 min massage not bad, i wasn’t expecting a great massage for that price. I was pleasingly surprise, my massage therapist was amazing she knew what parts of my body needed it the most work. I felt in heaven after. I wish i gotten my therapist name. Will definitely come back

I have to echo the other reviewer who also rated them 2 stars recently. This was one of the worst massages I’ve ever had.
I came on Sunday evening before Xmas. +1 star for being able to schedule a same-​day appointment with a short notice. But I should have known better, if a therapist is available on a Sunday with such short notice, he/​she isn’t in high demand.
I got the feeling that she really didn’t know what she was doing. It was slightly better than having your husband give you a massage but not by much. I had a groupon deal but even at the groupon price (think it was like $ 39 for 90 minutes massage), it wasn’t worth it. She would get really close to a knot or a pressure point, and then goes somewhere else. She repeatedly did that to the point where it was frustrating. She also did not have much strength in her hand. I asked her to increase pressure, she did for a few minutes but went back to the original weak touch. I gave up at that point, couldn’t wait for it to be over.
The other 1 star comes from both the receptionist and the therapist being nice and sweet. I still tipped her well because you know, who wants to work late on Sunday before Xmas?
Their high rating is based on the therapists that are no longer there. I asked for Wallace but the receptionist told me he no longer works there.
No, I’m never coming back.

Awe man! I was really looking forward to this massage. Just moved to the marina, looked on Unilocal and found this 4 star place. Read most of the reviews and although some were bad most of them were very good.
I gave two stars instead of one because it was very cheap and it was also clean inside.
The room was very very hot because the heater was cranked on in there. So my massage already started a little uncomfortable. There was no oil used. She had the sheet over me for almost the entire massage. There was a couple occasions when she pulled back the sheet but only used cheap lotion from cvs. So after about 30 seconds the lotion would rub in and it became kind of painful like an «Indian burn». The pressure was very weak and it never seemed like she knew what she was doing. I did feel bad for her because she kept leaving the room to cough.
I hate to sound so picky but ever since I injured my back I have gotten at least 3 massages a month. So now that I’ve had so many different massages, the good bad and the ugly. I have a good idea of what to look for and what should be avoided. It’s possible it was just my masseuse and not the entire establishment.

Visited again today and requested Wallace. He is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of massages. He did an awesome 90 minute deep tissue massage and hit every tight tension spot there was. I felt completely new and energized when I left. And the price is fantastic. $ 70 for 90 minutes with the best massage therapist. It’s a steal.
I highly recommend Wallace. Escape Day spa is a very conveniently located, easy to get to spot. Not luxury, but clean and comfortable.

Ask for WALLACE… Trigger Point. You will not regret it.
It’s not Burke Williams, it’s not Exhale. If you are looking for ambiance, this probably isn’t going to win you over. But if you want a killer massage and great energy, look no further. It’s clean and easy to get to. I booked the first appointment with very low expectations and I’ve been back 3 times already. I’ve even moved up to 90 minute treatments. I also referred my husband who keeps returning. This guy is magic.

Omg this place is amazing I got the pleasure of having Tina omg she gave me the best massage ever. She worked her magic on my back. I will for sure be back soon. The staff is really nice and friendly.

I’ve had better customer service from a parking meter.
Don’t be fooled by the high Unilocal rating. This place used to be called «Just Massage Studio» and got a lot of 1 and 2 star reviews. Had they not «renovated» AKA changed-​their-​name-​in-​order-​to-​sweep-​the-​bad-​reviews-​under-​the-​rug, they might be at a solid 2-​star rating by now.
My biggest complaint is their customer service. It’s basically non-​existent. The woman at the front desk looks and acts like your stereotypical pissed off bartender you’d expect to find working the weekday shift at some dingy biker bar in middle america. You know, the kind of woman with the heavy smoker voice and attitude that makes you both fear and hate her at the same time? Yep, that’s her. While I may not mind her pouring my next double whiskey, having to deal with her after a massage is the last thing I want to do.
And as far as massages go, it’s a hit or miss. I once had a really awesome woman but the second time I went I had a massage from a male therapist named «Sam». I should have brought some roses and a Marvin Gaye playlist because I swear it was Sam’s first time giving someone a massage. I’m not saying he was entirely awful but I have met vibrating mall chairs that have been able to get more kinks out of my neck than him.

Great job! Low key treasure. Affordable. I found it on Unilocal and have been several times I can’t remember his name but the guy with the dreadlocks is heavenly… Washinngton is his name I work on my feet so my back hurts a lot and he knows how to use just the right amount of pressure etc. I like this place bc it’s down to earth. The people are nice. If you are looking for fancy this ain’t it lol but it’s not a dirty place. I would love to see them just make it more modern looking but whatever! Great people great massages pretty cool pricing. They always have deals too

OMG what a migraine I had before arriving to Escape Day Spa, yesterday Tuesday 7÷14÷2015 without an appointment. I was very fortunate because Washington was there and he gave me an AMAZING MASSAGE!
The horrible migraine was gone within the hour!!! Needless to say: «I HIGHLY recommend this place and specially Washington», he was very caring and compassionate about my pain and I am so gratefull for that!!!
I live in Redondo Beach and drove all the way there in so much pain; but my drive back home was totally the opposite, it was totally worth the trip!
Thank you Washington! Peace & blessings

Just had an hour massage with Wallace. Was there last week and he was so good I had to go back to have him continue working on the impingement syndrome in my shoulder. It’s been so painful for 2 weeks! After one pretty technical hour of deep tissue and rolfing my shoulder feels worlds better! What a relief!
Also, my mom and boyfriend had a massage from Lena and thought she was great.
The staff have always been very nice too. I highly recommend this place!

Came in for a Groupon 60-​min massage and requested Brena based on Unilocal reviews. She was really good, giving full attention to the problem areas I mentioned and the deep tissue pressure was just perfect. Tipped her on full price of massage. The place is pretty basic, definitely not for those looking for fancy spa fluffy environment. I’m glad I tried out this place, after driving by for years.

Really enjoyed my experience! Had a group on for a 90 min massage with Washington. Washington was FANTASTIC! Very accommodating to my needs, always checking in and making sure I was comfortable.
Great experience. Friendly front desk staff. Plenty of free parking too! :)

Went in for an hour massage and I won’t be coming back unfortunately. It’s an ok place, but not nearly as relaxing as you’re hoping for when you get a massage.
The building is tucked away in an awkward location which makes it hard to find if you don’t already know it’s there. There’s plenty of parking even at lunch hour when I went. Don’t expect a huge welcome from the receptionist. A blow up doll has more life and personality.
The massage rooms have paper thin walls. I could hear rustling and muffled noises the entire hour. The massage table was hard, the blankets were thin and old and the towels were rougher than a wet rag left on a counter for 4 days.
Now to my masseuse. Oh, how I wanted to like him, but he was just too heavy handed. I asked him multiple times to ease up on the pressure but after five minutes of perfect pressure, he would go back to hurting me. Not to mention his phone kept going off. I think he had a timer or something which would have been fine if the sound was a more pleasant one.
Upon leaving no one asked how I enjoyed the massage. No one welcomed us back or asked if we wanted to set a future appointment. Maybe because they knew I wouldn’t lol.

I decided to go to this place on a whim. It was two days before Christmas, and everything was crazy chaotic out there. I could not find anywhere to go on short notice, and I did not want to be stuck in traffic during this time a year. So I looked up on Groupon and this place was 5 min. away. Plus, on groupon the deal was for $ 29 for 60 min, $ 40 for 90 mins. Plus, there was an additional 20% discount because of Christmas.
When I called the place, the lady on the phone was pretty accommodating. I think her name was Maria. She seemed like she really wanted to help me get a treatment, and also, since I was a first-​time customer, she did not want to turn me down. unfortunately they were booked all day, and that the groupon deal had ended.
Minutes after I hung up, she called me back and said that there had been a cancellation, and that they would honor the groupon price of $ 29 for an hour (not minus the extra 20%…but I was fine with that.) She did add, that the massage therapist was a male and not a female (because I had particularly asked for a female), but she added, «he is really good.» She also said that the slot that is open now is 35 mins from now, and that I need to hurry if I want to make it. On a whim, I called my babysitter and asked if she can get to me on time.
I arrived 15 min. late to the session because of my babysitter :(I was really bummed that I only had 45 mins left but that I was paying for 60 mins. But that was my fault.
I hoped, at least, that my massage therapist would be really good so that it would be worth it. Unfortunately he seemed very inexperienced. Although he was very nice, and professional, his skills was very minimal, and his touch seemed really off. It seemed like he was on job training, or at least very new at doing this. To make things even worse, the music just stopped somewhere half way into the session, and did not start again until my hour was done and it was time to leave. So that whole time I could hear his breathing, and there was that awkward silence in the room while I was getting a bad massage.
When the treatment was over and I was exiting, the lady at the front desk (some other lady, not the one I had spoken to on the phone) asked me how things were, and I told her that the music stopped half way through the massage. She did not seem very apologetic over it. She was professional but impersonal.
My experience was less than mediocre but I still tipped the massage therapist a good 40% and walked away.
I will not go back though.
I suppose you get what you pay for, and this was a $ 29 massage!
