September Day Spa - Morgan Hill, California

Aaron Recine

Lots of mixed reviews here, but it looks like they redid the place sometime around July. Perhaps new ownership has made the place more professional and reputable than it was before.

I've been to many massage venues all over the Bay Area. Chains like Massage Envy ( never been great ) and many reflexology / Chinese foot spas. I'm pretty picky these days, but I am fairly clear with what I want.

About a week ago, I called in for an appointment for a 2 hour body massage. I asked if they had a female therapist who could perform a very hard massage, and they assured me they did.

I also asked in advance if paying by card was okay, and they said they prefer cash and a percentage is added if a credit card is used. A bit annoying, but as someone who is currently looking for card processing for their own business, I get it. The card companies absolutely kill you with transaction fees, and it's not the businesses fault.

I'd recommend they build the processing fee into their pricing and advertise a cash discount, much as companies do with free shipping, where the shipping is actually built into the total cost.

Once I arrived I was warmly greeted by the very well-dressed staff at the front door. The entrance is clean, professional, and inviting.

They showed me to the room after checking in, and it was the nicest one I've been in yet. Most rooms are all white with an old chair in the corner with an almost hospital like neutrality.

In a direct contrast, this room had coordinated colors, a very nice massage table, and a chair covered in fresh towels so you could feel comfortable sitting down as you undressed. The linens on the table smelled fresh and the table was very comfortable.

The therapist came in ( who's name I unfortunately forgot ) and asked if I wanted medium or hard, to which I replied very hard.

Overall I'd give her massage a 4.5/5, but set a 5 for the review as the venue was so professional, clean and well designed. The strength was there, very very hard as I like, just not the absolute best I've had. It's hard to quantify why, but I'm very excited to try this place again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

It is confusing to me why the older reviews are so negative, but again, it seems as though an overall makeover and management change has struck new life into what was apparently not a great experience before.

September Day Spa will without dount have my business again, and I look forward to another great experience with their professional and perky staff.

My normal masseuse was fully booked and I gave this place a shot. Walking in it has a very relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, very clean, with large comfortable tables, and are nicely decorated. Monica came in and introduced herself then started off with walking on my back which felt really good. She followed that up with a hour of deep tissue that was so relaxing I nodded off for a bit. Working in construction I rely on a great massage for my tired old body. And great ones are hard to find. I highly recommend and will make this my new spot.

My first time visiting this place. Very clean interior. All the rooms are nicely decorated and it is cool inside.

After the message, you can take a shower if you like or get some snacks for free.

I also loved my full body massage. Very relaxing with just the right amount of pressure.

Will come back again!

I question the validity of this business. First time I walked in the female masseuse was sitting next to a male client on the front couch, something about it jus felt off. I asked for a business card and left. Then I tried calling multiple times ( different days/times) to ask for an appointment and they never answered. Drove by it and stopped by to make an appointment since a Yelp review said they have been turning away walk ins. Every time I come here I only see male clients. I came in and the lady said I must pay first in order to secure my appointment. I'm sorry what? Why would I pay in full before my actual appointment? That makes no sense. I've been to multiple massage spas from Milpitas to Gilroy and none of those places ever make a customer pay in full prior to the appointment. If anything you are a walk in and you pay for your massage right there before it starts but thats it. This is not a high end spa that would require a deposit and if you were worried about cancellations then you take a deposit as a penalty fee for a no show but not the full price. Skip the place, you're better off at the the other spas nearby.

Monica gives the best massage and it very respectful. I feel like a new person after she’s done. The place is clean and very professional.

Absolutely amazing.
