Psy Spa USA - San Leandro, California

JoAnn SkyWatcher

My first visit was 4 days ago. I went with a friend, and we both ooed and ahhed about how much we loved going there. She said it was the most relaxed she felt after a massage. We both got a scrub and massage. I enjoyed myself so much that I went back on the weekend with my partner.

Tip:

--If you don’t speak Korean, I would recommend talking with someone behind the front desk if you are getting a scrub or massage and have any specific needs. They will communicate your needs to the masseuse.

Pros:
--Large free parking lot
--Clean facilities
--Lots of lockers with locking system
--Good solid steam room
--Separate massage area
--Free robes (don't have to bring your own
--Very hot steam room
--ATM for cash tips
--Reasonable prices

Cons:
--Some body workers don't speak English

I strongly advise against visiting this establishment. The current state of cleanliness and hygiene is inadequate, which poses a significant risk of contracting skin diseases. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation, I recommend conducting a tour before making any financial commitments. This will allow you to personally assess the steam room and other facilities.

I checked that place one more time, hoping to see they changed their recent policies, such as forcing men to wear shorts, etc. However, everything is the same. A dilapidated, deserted, sad looking spa with ridiculous rules and the most expensive in the Bay Area. If you read the reviews, most women are happy with that place, but almost all the men are pissed and disappointed. Unfortunately, no matter what's said about their amenities and services, management ignores the clients' concerns and complaints and nothing changes, except gets worst. Good bye PSY SPA, forever!

Yesterday, was my first time ever going to a spa, and I got to say it was an eye opening experience. I loved it here and the massage therapist I worked with was amazing. Definitely will come back.

I recently visited Psy Spa in San Leandro with my daughter to celebrate her birthday, and we decided to indulge in their ultimate packages. Having experienced various Korean spas over the years in places like New Jersey, Irvine, and San Francisco, I knew what to expect. Unfortunately, Psy Spa did not match any of those experiences.

While the actual services—the scrub and massage—were quite good and performed well by the staff, the overall experience was marred by the condition of the facility. The spa's amenities were not as advertised. The relaxation rooms, which were supposed to be a highlight, were just a few heated rooms with little to offer in terms of effectiveness or relaxation. The Himalayan salt room was completely devoid of any salt, the Amethyst room featured what looked more like generic tiles than actual crystals, and the Jade room was essentially the same. There was also a noticeable lack of key features that are typically standard in Korean spas, such as a cold plunge or an arctic room for contrast therapy.

Additionally, the spa seemed ill-prepared for its guests. The blow dryers were ineffective, barely functioning, and there weren’t enough towels available for everyone’s use. This lack of basic amenities added to our disappointment.

Overall, while the individual services at Psy Spa were good, the overall experience fell short.

I came here for the first time with my husband and it was amazing! Everyone is so nice and did a wonderful job!

Men do need to bring swim trunks to wear within the spa rooms (located inside the bathroom - sauna/steam room/jacuzzi/cold plunge). You will not be allowed in without swim trunks.

If you’re coming for a body scrub for the first time, I was a little confused so here are the steps:

1. You have to arrive early to your appointment so you can steam/sauna your body for about 30 minutes to soften your skin

2. The person doing your service will then look for you in the steam room or sauna and call your key number

3. The place to get a scrub will be within the bathrooms

4. After you’re done, you will need to shower and dry off and wear the clothes given

TIP: Body scrubs include washing your hair so if you don’t want them to touch your hair, you have to let them know in the beginning of your service.

The facilities were fantastic and clean. They just have snacks for food so prepare around meal time.

My first time at a Korean spa! So cool and interesting. The woman’s side had a very open and welcoming atmosphere, and the scrub treatment is AWESOME. The masseuses are very professional and tuned into your needs. They are so detail oriented and attentive. Everyone should try it!!!

I absolutely love this place. I've recommended to so many friends who have also fallen in love. But there are a bunch of friends for whom it doesn't feel very welcoming. Unfortunately, it is a very gender segregated space, making it pretty much inaccessible to a lot of queer and trans folks.... Who would otherwise quite probably love it. Have you all ever considered having a trans/queer gender neutral night? I think you'd have a lot of folks interested. Everyone deserves to be able to experience Psy!
