Golden Day Spa

This was definitely the worst massage parlor/​day spa experience I have ever had.
I was experiencing muscle pain in my lower back and neck so I decided to get a 30 minute massage after work. I drove on coast highway and stumbled upon this establishment. I was greeted by a short haired Asian lady who failed to smile or extend me any other courtesy. She matter-​of-​factly told me to walk down a hallway and go inside one of the rooms. The room was probably 5 by 10 foot with blank white walls and no music. This highlighted the lack of professionalism and care that was exhibited in this spa.
The same Asian lady who originally greeted me ended up being my masseuse. I decided to not take my boxers off as a personal preference. As soon as she walked in she started to give me a hard time for leaving my boxers on, making me uncomfortable. She then proceeded to conduct the massage, which alternated between lazy skin rubbing and jamming her elbow into my joints. Despite telling her from the very beginning to focus on my lower back and neck, she ignored my wishes and just proceeded to do what was obviously her standard 30 minute massage. The customer’s desires were completely irrelevant to her. When she did massage my painful areas, she would use excessive force by jabbing me with her elbow. She had the nerve to laugh at me when I would grunt due to the pain.
Once the massage was finally done she walked out to let me get dressed. After a few minutes she walked back in and basically cornered my in the room demanding a tip. Since the massage cost $ 40, I decided that her efforts deserved a $ 5 tip (definitely too generous from my experience). When I gave her the $ 5 when proceeded to demand that she must get a $ 10 tip. At this point I was completely fed up and walked out of the day spa.
This «masseuse» not only does not deserve a tip, she deserves to be fired. Sadly, she is just a reflection of the quality of the entire establishment. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I’m literally about to hurl’ as I compose this and to be quite honest, it should’ve been done quite some time ago — I just wasn’t able to find the time…
I visited Oceanside a few months back with friends for a weekend retreat and as I tend to get a massage once a week or so I felt it shouldn’t be all that hard to stumble across a casual «one hour massage» spot in a resort-​like town, right? …WRONG!!!
My red light should’ve been the emaciated slacker looking guy walking out of this place zipping his pants as I pulled up, but with unbearable backpain in mind I chalked it up to it most likely just being a «good massage» and proceded entry where I was immediately told to go into room # 4 and «take off everything».
Uhm…“ex’squeeze meeh — I don’t know you like dat’!!!” Technically, aren’t you suppose to disrobe to your preferred level of comfort? — Just curious. No sooner than I’d began to undress did some tyrant woman of Korean descent bombard her way in, intruding upon my session. Thankfully — this was an «underwear day» I couldn’t help but think to myself.
I lay down unaware of just WTF– to expect as she climbed onto my back and proceeded in working out the kinks. No sooner than I managed to actually unwind did she (I f-​ck with you not),…ask me if I wanted the SPECIAL. Wait… What??? You mean that this crap really exist??? Oh woww…
So of course I was compelled to «play dumb». «What special, I asked?» (I know, I know… it gets worse). «Silly boey», she replied, «you know what speh’sho.» Then she proceeded to question my profession asking if I was military (probably to detect whether or not I was a cop). Bearing in mind that Pendleton’s a jump, skip and hop away and that most of her traffic must be horny military guys — I replied, «No» and that I was a paralegal.
Then she went on to continue massaging and told me that she had «two specials» — ONE HAND… ONE MOUTH!!! Oh hell no. I was borderline disgusted at this point and sat up but not before she grabbed my crotch (I couldn’t make this up if I tried) — and said, «I make diss’ feel wheel’ good.» I don’t think I could’ve made it out of there quicker if I’d had 4 legs!!!
So uhm yea! If you’re ever in Oceanside and in need of a stress reliever alongside some… urr’, uhm… syphillis — by all means, feel free to make the Golden Day Spa on PCH your 1^st pit stop.
