Elegance Spa - Milpitas — Attraction in Milpitas

Interesting experience and won’t be going back…

When trying to pay via card at the start, I asked to include the tip in the one transaction and I was told to do it at the end. The lady kept tapping my card and it was declining. She kept saying “no money no money” and of course I check my account and there’s plenty of money in there. I asked to insert the card but apparently that wasn’t an option? Anyway, I paid by Apple Pay in the end and that seemed to work.

The massage was pretty good so a few stars for that, but after it finished I hadn’t even taken a proper step out of the room before the two ladies forcefully start asking “how are you going to pay for the tip??????????” I obviously said I would have to use Apple Pay again… but then they were insisting I use Venmo or one of these other apps which I didn’t have. I pulled out the $20 note I had on me and offered it to them, and suddenly they were more than happy for me to use Apple Pay again lol. The lady asked ok how much tip and I said “hm well what is 20%” as I was working out the amount (which was actually $26 based on the cost of the service). They started saying “you do $40… $40” and due to the awkwardness of the situation I said ok just to get the hell out of there.

What’s the point of a tip if businesses like this try to force you into it… I’d rather go somewhere that doesn’t leave you feeling wound up immediately after the massage just so they can get more money out of you. Will be...

I dont know how well this place is, seeing all the negative reviews but I shall share mine.

It was probably one of the best massage I've ever gotten to date. One hour of an oil massage that actually felt like a full body massage and not just back, legs and neck. It was always what I imagined a massage would be. The only other one that measures up is a Thai massage I got in SJ for 120 bucks from a male masseuse but you get what you pay for they say. Honestly I felt so relaxed with my massage that I even considered coming back the next day but I'm not wealthy enough to do so. At the end the lady did ask for a tip and since I enjoyed it so much I wasn't bothered by it, gave her 20 and she didn't give me an attitude or make a face like I would have expected, should I have read the reviews before coming here. Heck, next time I might give more if the service is the same. Also it was a walk in, I had just gotten a very mediocre massage from a shady place and needed to get cleansed.

I'll definitely come back here while I'm still in town and if my experience changes I shall come back to change my review.

Edit: Still great, have tried 1-2 hour massages, the 1 hour is the sweet spot. Any more isn't worth it in my opinion but the 4 hands massage is amazing as one focuses on upper and lower body so its basically 1 hour of full body...

So prior to coming here I received news of my flight going to Hawaii was being canceled. I was stressed and needed to release some tensions. I went to some place down in Tully road and had the worst massage figured I’d just deal with it and go to sleep. Got home laid in bed and couldn’t nap so I decided to call. The lady answering the phone didn’t seem to have great English but she did say “come do walk in” so I did! Decided to take a chance and boyyyyyyyy I did not get disappointed! The masseuse not sure who it was but she was a taller lady. She got the good good! Like I’m not even kidding when I say she put me to sleep! The massage hit the spot. Kind of like drinking a sprite in a hot summer day. I started snoring and she just continued to massage. LOL tbh I wasn’t even embarrassed man I was in total zen mode. If she offered me another 70 mins I would have taken the deal!

Overall loved the massage! I’m not exaggerating when I say these lady’s know what they’re doing. They really are amazing! I handed her a hefty tip and for sure will...
