Spa 33

I love this spa and have never been disappointed with any of the services I’ve received. I love Peggy’s massages using all her essential oils. Very healing and relaxing! She’s awesome! I always feel renewed and refreshed after being at Spa33!

Great facial with Robin!
All of the ladies at spa 33 were friendly and warm.
Great place!

This place is amazing Neil did a great job I had lots of nots & she made my sore body feel amazing! It was a great experience will definitely be going there soon

I came to San Diego for a little getaway and thought why don’t I get a facial and massage while I’m here. I had a facial by Sharon and a massage by Becca
the facial:
It was amazing! Sharon did a good job extracting all my ugly black heads! She also educated me on what I should be doing clearing up my air ways and how to make eye bags look less baggy. Sh left my skin looking smooth and clean and soft!
the massage:
Becca did a wonderful job with the massage and it was just what i need to get all those knots in my back out! She also told me what I can do to help ease the pain of my lower back because I was in a bad accident last year
If you guys need a place for a massage and a facial this is the place to go!

The staff is great and you can’t go wrong with any of the massage therapists. One of the best massage I’ve received ever.

What a fantastic Massage! Becca was amazing. I am a massage therapist myself and I work for a completely different clinic and I am usually pretty picky, and I was in bliss. Great deep pressure without killing me. The new location inside Crunch Gym on Jamacha is very nice. Yes, sometimes there is some noise from the gym. Yes, you can find good massages a little cheaper. However, the cleanliness of the place is perfect and the quality of massage is superior. I highly recommend, I wish I could give them a 4.5 a whole star for a little more cost and a little extra noise is a bit much but do yourself a favor and check them out. Again, I had Becca, so if you like some pressure that makes a difference without making it unpleasant, Becca is your girl. Great Job Spa 33!

I absolutely LOVE Cristina for a great massage! Had a 90 min massage last night and it was A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G! She uses hot towels throughout the massage, and does an awesome job on hands and feet! If you are looking for a great massage, call Cristina at the Jamacha/​Crunch Fitness location. You will love it.

Seriously make you feel so so so lovely! Such great customer service, never been treated any better than this! Would definitely recommend!

I don’t know how to put into words what bothered me about this place, but I am going to try.
I arrived early, filled out my paperwork which was very short and non-​specific. I am pretty sure I don’t remember a section about medical conditions, just an open-​ended question like, «Is there anything else I need to know?» I honestly feel like this could have meant anything: «My favorite color is purple. I drive a Subaru.» If you want a specific answer; ask a specific question. Besides if you don’t ask me specifically about my health history, why is it your business anyway? I would consider this to be unimportant to your job if you don’t ask. I wouldn’t think to volunteer that I take herbal meds when I don’t have any severe medical problems, just sporadic migraines, rarely. Anyway, during the massage, the masseuse got angry because I volunteered that I took Feverfew for my headaches. She retorted (with a pretty nasty tone), «I don’t like surprises.» Really? Then ask me ahead of time. After that exchange I feel like she made the massage ridiculously rough on purpose. I like very deep massages, but it felt like she was trying to hurt me, even when I asked her to back off. I have never had a masseuse with such an off-​putting attitude before, not to mention the feeling like she was punishing me for «being surprised». I was overjoyed when it was over and I went into the sauna to avoid running into the masseuse again because she told me she had another client after me and her room would be occupied. I tipped her when I checked out because I’m not a scumbag, but I wish I hadn’t now.
Incidentally, the gal at the front desk was fabulous and was completely accommodating and checked on me in the sauna to make sure I was okay in there.
I would never return here, even if it was free and will tell people about my bad experience along with the name of the woman who did my massage (even though I have not used it for this review).

I love going here and try to make it in at least once a month (for sure, I wish it could be more often). Everyone here is so friendly and it’s peaceful and quiet.
Nell is my number one girl — she will wring you out and leave you feeling like a very relaxed and grateful noodle!
Janelle’s touch is super gentle and soothing. Perfect for when you just want to
relax.
To top off either experience, be sure to spend some time in the infrared sauna — heaven!
I’m soooooooooo happy I found this place!

Love this place! Super friendly and very clean. Always able to find time to come in and reasonable prices :) better than a lot of the other «foo-​foo» places out there that charge you an arm and a leg for horrible customer service and half rate experiences… One I particular in mission valley. Really recommend this place especially when doing a cleanse and needing a boost with the infrared saunas!

I have many various chronic pain issues and Spa 33 is helping me tremendously with the infrared sauna. You could not ask for a nicer and more informative person than Kathy. My whole family likes her. Go and try it out at least 6 times to see if it will help you. I am starting to be able to go off some of my meds now. You will not regret going.
Thank you Spa 33

Peggy gave me my first massage ever and it was fantastic! Great energy work and use of essential oils :)

I hate to give this place three stars — it should be 3.5.
In any case, I came here and had a wonderful massage with the kindest technician. The only thing that ruined it for me, and was such a big deal as I was here to try to relax… was being able to hear a lot of noise from outside the building. Cars passing, skateboarders. It really did not help with trying to relax. :(
I hope they can move locations, because I thought their customer service was beyond excellent. The infrared sauna was very enjoyable, as well.

My home away from home if I could! This is a small place. It’s not a fancy «soak your feet before a massage» type of place and I don’t want it to be either.
You want a professional massage? THIS is the place. The prices are completely reasonable. The referral options they have are amazing. The therapists are FANTASTIC! You can’t go wrong if you get a treatment here.
I have referred 5 friends. Three of which have come back, 1 of which doesn’t live in the state but I’ll get her to come back if I can, and 1 that just had her first massage this week. She was in all her glory when she was done. Oh yeah! This is the place to be!

I’ve had both Janelle (nice & lite) and Peggy (deep & works the knots)…completely happy with both just depends on what you’re looking for! This place is great!!! Highly recommend!

Great massages & service! Nell is amazing! The sauna feels wonderful after a massage — make sure to leave at least 10 minutes afterwards to try it.

After tweaking my back a few days ago, my muscles needed some TLC. I called in the morning, taking a gamble and hoping for a same-​day appointment. The receptionist (Kathy/​Cathy?) was sweet as pie and set me up for a massage just two hours later with Liz.
When I arrived, the spa was very inviting, relaxing and well put together. After the usual new client questionnaire was filled out I was given a tour of the place and brought to my room to get changed. Liz was great. She listened to my needs and trouble spots and worked on me like a pro. She was intuitive and knew just the right pressure to use. The aromatherapy oils she used were SO relaxing. It felt so nice that I wish I could have had another hour on that table!
When Liz was finished I was led to the Infra Red Sauna and got to relax some more while drinking a nice cool cup of water.
All in all, I had a great experience here. I’ve been looking for a nice, reputable place to get a massage and didn’t want the Groupon rush in and out type of service. Paying full price did not disappoint. I can’t wait to schedule another appointment and maybe get a facial, too!

Returned for a 1-​hour massage today, after my wife bought me a 4-​pack of massages for my recent b-​day. Had the day off and decided to drop by and revisit a place I really enjoyed last time.
Nell introduced herself and I stepped into the comfortable room. I could tell that Spa 33 had upgraded a lot of the interior stuff. Nell did a great job of putting me at ease then working the knots out of my sore body. The hour felt like a good massage should and I walked out feeling 10 times better than when I limped in.
Note: I wonder how many marriage proposals these gals get at about the 30 minute mark.
2^nd note: Spa 33 has added a dry sauna and I gave it a try before leaving. It’s amazing what 30 minutes at 115 degrees will do for ya!
I like this place and will definitely be returning (I have a gift card for 3 more massages, duh). And I will absolutely book them with Nell, that firm-​handed goddess.
Highly recommended all the way around.

I can’t comment on Spa 33’s massage therapists (but I am sure they are awesome, looking at the Unilocal reviews); I’m reviewing Spa 33’s esthetician, Adrienne. She is the bomb — trust me. I have gotten facials from many estheticians, and none of them were terrible by any means, but Adrienne’s facials are amazing and I’m sticking with her.
1. She is such a sweetheart. She’s calm, friendly, and gentle with my skin. She even sent me a card in the mail just-​because, thanking me for being her client. Aww.
2. She customizes my facials to my skin type; and while many estheticians claim to do this, she has done the best job (for me) in using products that don’t freak out my skin, and I have sensitive skin.
3. She doesn’t push products on me, which I really appreciate. I hate going somewhere to be pampered just to get slapped with a sales pitch instead. My bathroom counter is already covered in products that were pushed on me by other estheticians and the logical side of my brain tells me not to buy more unless I can afford a larger house.
4. She gives the best mini-​massages during the facial. Not the «okay, I’ll rub your arm for a minute while your mask sets ’cause I’ve got to kill time» massages that I’ve gotten from other estheticians; she actually gets rid of knots in my shoulders and neck — a real, bona fide massage. Maybe she is also trained in massage therapy? Not sure, but it’s like a 2-​for-​1!
I know Spa 33 is known for their massage therapists, but I would definitely recommend Adrienne if you’re in the market for a facial/​general pampering. The price point is super at $ 59 for an hour of pampering, which is the best price I have found. Sticking with Spa 33 and Adrienne!
