Zen Massage SF — Local services in San Francisco

(This review is based on the service I received in July 2018.) Based on others' reviews, it seems like everyone's experience varies wildly depending on which masseuse they got. This review is for 60-minute Thai massage sessions by Fay and Tito.

My friend and I were looking for a spot where we could book a co-massage session in San Francisco, and I found a good deal for a Thai massage at Project Zen on Groupon. I called ahead to see if they could book us in the same room together, and they let us know that while they don't technically book a couples massage, they could book us to get a massage at the same time and remove the divider curtain between us to accommodate my request. We both arrived a few minutes early, anticipating some sort of new customer form to fill out or some time to get set up for the sessions, but we were guided to our space pretty much right away. Both of our masseuses were very professional and cordial, and Tito was so skilled and even knew how to pressure down with each of his toes (?!). They actually went over the booked 60-minutes with us, and I think that really shows that they were very focused on taking care of their guests and making sure they are treated with great care, instead of rushing the experience. We were not charged extra for this overage time, either.

Very, very happy with this experience and would highly recommend booking a session with...

I had a Deep Tissue Massage with Samantha. I was carrying a lot of stress in my neck, shoulders and upper back. She was observant, empathetic and super competent. Even from the start. Samantha communicated with me throughout the massage, using some really effective techniques to reach in to all the right places and work out the tension. I felt like I was healing from the inside out. She constantly checked with me to adjust the level of pressure or stretch. And she responded with the right move when I explained where it was hurting or what I was feeling. Overall it was an extremely connected experience. I really felt like I gave over myself to another person to take care of me for 60 mins and it felt wonderful to be treated with such care with capable hands. I booked this massage last minute. But it was probably the best gift I have given myself in a long time. The spa itself is clean and efficient. Their booking system over text makes it super quick to get and appointment. The reception staff were friendly and courteous. Place is clean and quiet with a great atmosphere to disconnect and enjoy the experience. They don't waste any time and get you into the room quick to get your full massage time. Highly recommend. And thank you very...

We received a discount of 40% and booked an appointment for two deep tissue massages. Although unexpectedly situated in a rather suburban part of the city, the ambiance inside was relaxing with just the right amount of Eastern influence. We had Stanya (?) and Stu. Though it was not technically a couples massage (not sure if that was an option), we were right next door to each other. Stu chatted with me before the massage to make sure he had a good understanding of the areas that I wanted him to focus on. He used just the right amount of pressure - which, for me, is a lot - and worked hard on those stubborn knots and my boyfriend said it was one of the best massages he's ever had. My only complaint would be that the rooms are not soundproof at all so not only could I hear the conversation in the room next to me, I could hear what sounded like water being turned on and off. All in all, it was just what we were looking for, but don't expect any bells...
