New Happy Day Spa

I just went today and it was amazing. I came in and got a facial from Monica. Not only did she make my face feel super soft but she removed all my blackheads. I highly recommend anyone who’s going to see Monica. She is so great and knowledgeable. She will make your skin feel baby soft.

Monica was absolutely amazing! If you’re actually in need of a facial, manicure, pedicure, or a wax, this is the place.
I knew this was going to be a good experience the second she laid hands on me. She definitely has the «magic touch».
Best facial and manicure I’ve ever had. Really.
I highly recommend this place and Monica. It’s worth every penny.

When are they going to reopen the massage section of this business?. Has been closed for over 3 months. Why don’t they at least post something!

If possible, I would give them 0 star and will never come back again. I came here with my husband to have facial service. This is my first time doing classical facial here. Classical facial is $ 45 or 2 pre-​paid tickets. They assigned a not well trained staff to me. She didn’t clean my blackhead, and just cleaned my face and put the mask on. That’s it!
After I coming out from the room, I asked the manager why I didn’t get the blackhead cleaned. And she double checked with her staff. The staff responded that she doesn’t know blackhead clean is included in classical facial service. Then, she just told me she is sorry and she promise to do it for me next I come. But she still charged me 2 pre-​paid tickets even she knew I didn’t get the service I supposed to get. Anyway, I won’t come back again! It was a terrible experience.

If you are going to list you are open until 10 pm, then be open. Not only is it listed on Unilocal,it’s on your phone message and on your door. This is a poor experience for a first time customer.

Temporarily closed but only because the owner of the building didn’t file the right building permits with the county. I love this place and have talked to the manager a few times to see when they are opening again but the county is being slow about the building permits.

If you are used to Chinese foot massage places, you know what to expect… very strong pressure, abrupt service, language barriers etc. But, this is all very typical of this style of massage – this is not a fancy spa. Don’t expect to get a 5 star meal when you pay McDonald prices.
However, for me, this place is awesome! For the price of a «fancy» massage, I can get a massage once a week that does the same job, if not better. Every masseuse I’ve had here has been very good at their job and I’d recommend everyone. I used to spend $ 200/​month to get massages at nice day spas (Wine n Roses, etc), but now I only spend $ 80/​month for twice as many.
Addressing other people’s comments… if you’re not used to this style of day spa, then I can see where it might be strange experience. But, this place is WAAAYYY better than the other Chinese day spas that I’ve gone to (Stockton Blvd, Oakland, Beijing, Shanghai).
Go with an open mind and understand that there will be some cultural adaptations for you… there is a language barrier with how they ask if you left a tip (I’ve never been «yelled at», they just ask if you left the tip already because lots of people don’t know how that process works). They try to upsell the packages to you (they’re actually a killer deal)…I just say I’ll buy when I get paid and they leave me alone ;) The pressure of the massages is very firm. If you have specific needs, you’ll need to ask the desk staff to translate because the therapists don’t speak much english.

This review is for Tracy:
Got a mani/​pedi with Tracy. Pedicure was fine, she didn’t cut my nails super even but it didn’t bother me too much. I’d give it 3.5÷5 stars, especially because she made sure to disinfect and prevent infection after working on my feet.
However, I’m extremely disappointed by the manicure. First of all, she had my remove my own nail polish. Um, what? She said she has sensitive hands and told me to remove my nail polish myself. Not impressed.
She also applied the nail polish fairly sloppily and had to use a brush and polish remover to clean all of my nails. Normally I wouldn’t care if it was just small mistakes, but she didn’t seem to even try to put on the polish well. I have two problems with this. 1) Sloppy initial application means I’m now left with uneven polish near my cuticles. 2) The nail polish remover used to clean up her mistakes break down the nail polish/​top coat and now LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER, I have one noticeably chipped nail and 5 nails with chipped tips.
I will say that I did appreciate that while she had a sloppy application of the nail polish, she didn’t over apply and leave me with thick, chunky nails like I’ve experienced at other nail salons.
Probably wouldn’t come back to get my nails done here.

They do do a thorough body message, although no one is disrobing in a large darkened room that is actually designated for «foot massages». This day and age, a Chinese food massage is more body time and less foot– mainly just a scrub and some rubbing along pressure points.
My masseuse was from Yunnan; she saved me from a coughing spell while supine and chastised me for sucking on coffee candy, prompted me to spit it out,& then plied me with Halls. I either have RSV or rhinovirus.
Love the strength of her hands— hands down fave part is being placed prone and her massaging my glutes. Having hiked in Bradley and walked all over Paso Robles the day before, this was sigh-​worthy .
Inexpensive massage. Room can fit about 20 clients, muted gentle non-​spa music was on.
Full service salon. Just north of the Hurley/​Howe intersection, on east side of street. Plenty of parking

I honestly don’t know how I feel about my experience here. I bought a Groupon for their hot stone massage. Getting an appointment was no problem. The receptionist was very friendly, the other people working were also friendly. My masseuse was nice and professional — asked me if I wanted deep tissue: I said yes. She went to town. I have never had a massage that feels nice while simultaneously feels like I’m being beaten, but my shoulders are certainly more loose now.
So here’s where I am conflicted. This is a super budget place. Their massage tables aren’t like any I’ve seen elsewhere. No head pillow, instead I was provided a carefully folded blanket. Sheets were like cheap hooker motel sheets. When she brought in the hot stones, she told me to tell her if they were too hot. She sort of piled them up on a towel on my back. I’ve never had a stone massage so maybe this is normal but it seemed awkward to me. So then she put water or something on the stones and all the sudden they were scorching. I tried to tough it out for a minute but couldn’t and she pulled them off quickly. My back was a little burned. She was super apologetic and went to get new stones that were cooler? Anyway, after that it was fine.
I get that it’s budget walk-​in kind of place, which is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 3. I might go back if my back needs a no frills beating, but this is probably not the place to go if you want a relaxing spa experience.

Great massage. I had Bruce, he was fantastic. 5 stars on the massage.
2 stars on Gel mani/​pedi. Pedicure was fine. But the gel barely lasted 1 week and started lifting. Unevenly filed and polish was all over the place. Boo on that. I’m VERY particular about my nails! And it pisses me off when I pay to have them done and then have to re-​do them the next week! It also costs me an extra $ 30 and that gest a «no likey» from me
Otherwise, a nice and clean place and great massages. Everyone was pretty friendly and they were on time for our Saturday appointment of 4 massages and 4 mani/​pedis. So, I do appreciate that.
I would definitely go back for a massage next time i’m in Sacramento.

I came with 2 other friends, we were all getting pedis and my friends were getting full set nails. I wasn’t able to get my pedicure with my friends for some weird reason (people were available but I guess they didn’t put it together that we wanted it all done together?) So I sat and waited until they get their pedicures beside them and then they moved across the room while I got mine, so it really cut down on our talk time. :(
Now to my pedicure, super unrelaxing, honestly. The woman (Kim?) very rough. But older women usually are which is why I ask for men. The massage chair died 2 minutes into me using it. THE WORST part is that all my toenails, yes all. Were filed uneven, not one of them is even or even the same to any other. I asked for a design which I thought was really cute and got something not even close it. DO NOT GET KIM IF YOU WANT DESIGNS. Will be posting pictures about this because it was not worth the $ 30 I paid for the design.
The employees were SUPER nice. I got asked if I wanted water and my friends and I were able to talk to the woman doing their full sets about anything. It was great social service.
Overall, I would come again, but not get designs, not get Kim and probably only come if I’m getting a full set.

Staff is very friendly. I would give it 5 stars but the receptionist in the front is a bit too pushy. I got a full body massage, mani, pedi, & facial. Tracy in the nail section is amazing. Cici was my masseuse, & she did a wonderful job. I’ve had better facials before, but it was a decent facial for the price I paid. I’ve gone back multiple times. Make sure to make an appointment. Makes it way easier to get in & out.

I’ve came in for a full hour massage now as a walk in and they are always able to take me! Very satisfies with their scheduling and the quality of the massage, I asked for a full body but a focus on shoulder and was well taken care of.

Definitely my new fave nail salon! I’ve gone three times and have gotten great results every single time. The receptionist is always so friendly. I recommend going with TRACY! She is the best she can do any designs you see online! She works everyday except for Mondays and Tuesdays. I have not gotten the chance to try out they’re massage area yet but will do.

Decided to try this place a try since I had slept wrong and had a bad pain in my shoulder and neck.
Called to book an appt receptionist was very helpful.
This was a really good rub down. really got the kinks out. I had a reflexology massage done. Place had a very nice and relaxing atmosphere I was surprisingly shocked at how great I felt leaving there. I will definitely be back ASAP! :)

Yet another horrible nail salon.
I find it odd that salons let their employees eat full on meals at their station AND in front of customers. Not only is it unsanitary and disgusting to watch you sloppily slurp your noodles, but it stinks too!
Am I unreasonable for wanting ALL of my old nail polish removed before you seal my nails with a new fill? Why would I want ruminants of red nail polish permanently stuck between my layers of acrylic? Especially if I’m getting a French manicure or super pale color! While the manicurist was taking off my red polish, he did it so sloppily that the red got on his own hands. So midway through taking off my polish with a cotton ball, he stopped and used that cotton ball to clean his own hands, and then proceeded to continue removing my polish WITH THE SAME COTTON BALL! I nearly got up and left right then and there, but I was desperate to get my nails done before leaving out of town.
«Square right?» Seems to be the common assumption, even though my nails were previously shaped with round corners. So, no, I don’t want square, I want them kept the way they are. After he filed them, every single finger was a different length. When I asked him to make them shorter and even, he took a pair of clippers and clipped the edges of acrylic off. Anyone who knows acrylic knows you NEVER clip them or they will crack and chip. He cut them so short that my finger tips hurt! He didn’t file my cuticles nor the edges of my nails so I’m sure they’ll lift in a few days. He also applied my sheer nail polish with zero care, leaving uneven streaks. He never said one friendly word to me the whole time; just, «square, right!» «Wash your hands» and «go dry over there». I must have finally looked at him crazy because he said, «Fine. Dry here,» with attitude!
The receptionist were very nice. Too bad that hospitality wasn’t carried through.

Facial: Minna is excellent
Massage: Tom is really good. Focused on the knots on my back even though I did not ask him to (which I like).
Receptionist: Nice & helpful.

I would hear about this place a lot and several people recommended it to me. It wasn’t until they opened this location that I finally decided to make an appointment.
The woman in the front, Carmen, is very nice and greets you with warm smile.
My very first visit I got a full body massage.
The temperature in the room was perfect; I’ve been to places where I was freezing, but the temp was comfortable which was a plus. The massage was nice and I left relaxed
Recently I was gifted a book of 10 1 hour foot massages. I made an appt and got Danny. I really liked his technique, he’s light-​handed which I prefer and concentrated a lot on my head and hands as well. If you prefer someone a little stronger there is Jack, he doesn’t seem as mindful about your hands and head, rather spends a little more time on your feet (well it is a foot massage).
I started reading other reviews and someone had mentioned folding a used towel as if it were brand new. Actually, the last time I was there I did notice Danny folded the blanket he had laid on my fully-​clothed body and put it back in position for the next client. Now I’ve seen worse in the Philippines so I really didn’t think that was too bad. Although one of the reviews had said something about a stained towel so I may be conscious of that in the future.
I have enjoyed my services there and can’t complain

My husband had purchased a Groupon back in February and didn’t use it until today. Even though the Groupon was expired, they honored the dollar amount so I could basically pick what I wanted done. I opted for a pedicure. They have 3 levels of pedicures, the amount of the certificate I had covered the Gold (the best) pedicure, so that is what I chose.
The place is VERY clean. We were taken back right away. The pedicure lasted about an hour. It was awesome! They did a mud mask, sugar scrub, hot stone foot and leg massage, paraffin treatment, callous removal, and polish.
My feet (that could sand wood before going in) feel as smooth as buttah!
I definitely will return to this place.

Ok came in here today since I missed some of the other great specials when they opened and didn’t find out about this location until someone at farmers market told me. But anyway they still have a great special @$ 16 for their fabulous foot massages, that are pretty much whole body clothed massages with a foot soaking and reflexology foot massage. JULIE is FANTASTIC!!! There wasn’t one part if me that didn’t get a work out. I love the facial massage portion of the experience it’s like a mini facial massage. Forehead, between the eyes, chin all if your scalp it’s fabulous. So relaxing! She got my lower back and my Glutes and worked out some serious tension in my shoulders. I will be back and be asking for her again and again.
I decided with the specials going on to get a mani/​spa pedi for only $ 22 while I was here and lets just say that experience was not part of this review and would have lowered the star rating but since the place is all together I cannot write a separate review for that department. The space they have is nice and very elegant looking but I had a male manicurist and he was less than personable and both mani and pedi were mediocre at best. I want to take this opportunity to let you all know to stick with the massage services and maybe pass on the nail part.
