Dai Nam Spa — Attraction in San Jose

Horrible place. Don’t go! First off I haven’t ever been to a massage place that plays baby lullaby during massage. Who on earth plays twinkle twinkle while doing massage.

Second: they have this foot pack on Full Body destress pack, I went with it thinking it will be relaxing. It was not done well, they put warm towel soaked in water to your feet which becomes cold in few mins, and for the full massage time you are stuck with stacking cold towel on your feet, which also makes the foot area of massage bed wet and cold.

Third: the temperature in the massage room was cold, the massage therapy bed is not heated bed, so you are in cold room, with fan blasting cold air and on top of everything the foot of the bed is soaking cold.

Fourth: the massage bed is made for short people! I am 5.7 and my feet was hanging by the edge.

The massage therapist did a good job with what she can, she has the skills but when the environment is not set up for relaxing, decent massage experience no amount of therapist skill can make up. With all the back and forth about stopping the music and the cold air, the massage therapist didn’t even manage time to work on full body. I ended up staying for 1 hour 40 mins but the massage was not full body.

Never going back here. What a waste of money and instead of being relaxed I came...

I love coming here. The therapists are very professional and the hours are very convenient and expansive in addition to the online booking which helps to get in quickly when I happen to get some time in the day.

My massage therapist is Mint and she is excellent. I remember thinking on the first day that we met that (before I saw her since I was lying face down) that she must be some huge woman…only to find that she was actually a petite powerhouse! I always get deep tissue treatment and she seems to have a sixth sense as to where the issues are and she uses a variety of techniques to get the best therapeutic results. I always leave Dai Nam feeling better and have made it part of my self-care regimen to be a regular client of theirs. Despite their beautiful opulent appearance, they have a small business feel in regard to the personal touch (pun intended) they provide (P.S. I’m cross-posting this review on Yelp to support them because I want them to do well so I can keep coming! :)). Pro-tip: try the CBD to help relax the muscles and get more out of the massage-many lovely aromas to choose from but I like the “icy/hot” one Mint uses....

My husband and I went in for his birthday. I made an appointment online the week before. We both opted for the hot stone massage.

There was a small hiccup when we arrived but that's not why I docked a star. They ran out of paper on their CC machine so I had to pull up my bank account to show them that the charge did go through.

Two cons: The reason for the docked star is the cold room and bed. There have been several reviews from different people with the same complaint. The docked star is them not taking the complaints seriously. The detergent that they use for their sheets is very scented. I got a headache when I laid face down receiving my massage.

PRO: The pressure from my massage therapist was perfect. I was relaxed the entire time and she found the muscle I had pulled a couple weeks ago that still bothered me. She was gentle enough to work on it without hurting me.

10/10 would return. The price is affordable and the...
