The Hive Thai Massage & Wellness — Local services in San Francisco

This place is really expensive. I got the best massage of my life here highly recommended but do not use Ally. She gave me my second massage and it was one of the worst massages of my life. She gave me a very poor and lazy massage. She pressed hard in one spot for up to 30 seconds multiple times just resting. Seemed like she was doing a lot to waste time. It was painful and unpleasant. Not worth my birthday present or wifes money spent (shes a waitress) this was supposed to be my present. I asked for the same massage as the one I got the first time and Ally set me up with not the same massage and not the same girl. Granted she did tell me the girl was not there but she should have told me she cant do that same massage. I knew something was up when a bigger girl came in the room. I thought to myself shes going to get up there and walk on my back? No she did not thankfully but she did take a lot of breaks and lazily skimmed over most of my body. I almost went and got another massage after but I aint got it like that. It lacked intuition. I dont care what your size is just do a good job and care if you are doing body work/healing. I work construction and just finished a really hard job and my body really needed healing. My wife and I don't make a lot of money so to spend this much on a massage and get this bad of a experience really sucks. Ally needs to let people know she cant walk on backs and if shes too tired to give a massage dont give one and dont take peoples money. If another masseuse gave someone the best massage of their life then that's the masseuse you need to book for them. If you can't do the massage that people want then just...

Update May 2025

The past two massages have been lackluster with different motions and amounts of times on different parts of my body. Today’s was incredibly disappointing because I did the deep tissue and it wasn’t deep tissue. There was a lot of petting as there was in my massage the previous session. I used ClassPass and 51 credits for this deep tissue session, but it was absolutely the same massage as the Thai massage. And worse, I couldn’t relax because all I could hear was the repeating same 60 seconds of music, bros upstairs, and the other massage therapists talking outside of the room.

My very first session here a few months ago was exceptional, but the past two have not been satisfactory.

———- Lovely, welcoming, and pristinely clean massage studio with air filters and warm studios.

I greatly appreciated the owner or manager reaching out to me and ensuring my safety regarding my massage as I was recently hospitalized. Wonderful professionalism.

Had an incredibly therapeutic massage with Mena, and I plan to come back.

Excellent...

My back still hurts a lot from the massage. Feels like the tractor ran over my body. And I’m not even talking about my muscles, but my spine- there were times where masseuse would press straight into vertebrae / discs! I felt like a rag doll during the session at times. Not relaxing or pleasant whatsoever. Also, she barely spoke English to understand exactly what I’m saying. You’re just another body for them to dig their elbows in with no regard to your health. Disappointing because this was the second session and the first massage therapist was good. I guess depends on your luck who you’re going get that day. Felt like they don’t really care to customize the experience for you, or at least ask is there any parts of your body where they should be more careful. As for me I’ll never go back to Thai massage if the person doesn’t speak fluent English or has the capacity and experience to understand how to listen...
