CLOSED. This was one of my friends favorite spas so i've been a few times. I was always a little dissappointed with our visits, sometimes due to customer service, sometimes due to results of the treatments it varied but overall i didn't see why she loved it so much. i hadn't been to very many spa's for comparison though so i thought perhaps my expectations were too high. She purchased a gift card for me to relax now for christmas and I called last week to book an appointment come to find out they went out of business. BUT there is a silver lining, TRU SPA has offered to redeem their gift cards!! I went to Tru this weekend and was blown away (see Tru's review coming next!). So thank you Relax Now for going out of business and leading me to Tru, i've found my perfect spa!

OMG!! great facial..great deep tissue massage..cool atmosphere.. I's self employed and am pretty much always stressed out. I had not been to a spa "recently". Used to go often though, forgot why I stopped, just too busy I guess . A client gave me a very genrous gift certificate for this place so I went. It was a cool experience. Very cool decor, fun and modern. I was expecting a sauna but they didn't have one. The "rainsoaker" shower was nice though. The front desk was good, not great but professional and the girl there was working pretty hard. The services I had were 5 star. Relaxed to some nice chilled piano tunes by moby (very cool) during my 80 min massage with Julia. I like deep tissue and she really knew what she was doing. I felt so amazing after the service. Went back a week later to use up the rest of the certificate got a facial and a brazilian with Asya that blew me away. She really knows her stuff. Every layer of product smelled nice and uplifting with a citrus kind of scent that put me in a nice mood. My skin was a little pink after the exfoliation and looks great. She sent me home with some free product line samples. I really liked their body butter and lemon cleanser. Gift certificate is almost gone so i'm going in tomorrow for some products and a chair massage with Julia again.

Oh yeah..they have special deals going on and the microderm facial that was 1/2 off! Too cool. WArning, parking is tough but there is a garage at sac & clay, or way down at the kabuki theather parkaing garage and then take a nice stroll up fillmore street. Had not been in that hood in a long time (starting to look like Soho) a new Eileen fisher, Marc Jacobs and a cool new clothing store where Jim Elle used to be. Nice street but Jamba juice is gone..probably could not afford the rent ..looks like this hood is movin up.

Hmmm.. Loud colors, front desk that barely pays attention.. That I can live with. What is not passable is mediocre massage and run of the mill facials that seem to be more about selling you into doing more things and buying more stuff. I came here because someone gave me a gift certificate for my baby shower. Thanks but next time save your money and give a diaper jeanie!

great facials and waxing. I had such a great facial here! I've been looking for a good spa to go to and this place was great. The front desk was really nice and they accomodated me for the times I needed. I saw Olga for my facial and she was fantastic. By the way, they use the hard purple wax there and although I'm not a fan of brazillians, Olga really made it as comfortable and painless as possible. I highly recommend this place!

Great day spa!!. I recieved a gift certificate from a friend and treated myself to a facial and a massage. It was such a great facial and massage! I left feeling so relaxed and my skin never looked better! I have been using the products that were recommended to me and I absolutely love them. Everyone is so friendly and accomodating. I would definately refer any of my friends and am grateful that I had a chance to discover this place.

Great Massage and good people. I really enjoyed the facial and massage that I received from Relax Now. I have been going there for over a year. They have a great hot and cold stone massage, that with a deep tissue massage turned me into a noodle. I highly recommend it.

Go for waxing, not massages. I don't know about you, but bright pink walls, bright lights, and techno music does not say "relax" to me. But that is indeed what I got when I went for a massage here. Now, don't get me wrong, the massage itself was great, and the volume of the music was low, but in general it isnt the most relaxing atmosphere. On the other hand, they do some great waxing here and everyone is always friendly.

unfortunately lacking. I am fortunate that my employees give me gift certificates to spas.. Unfortunately one of them wasted their money with this spa. I had to wait thirty minutes before the facial even started. It was just OK. Not horrible but I definitely wouldn't go back. The massage was just so so. Just not worth the time and money- even if it is someone else's money.

OH just the memory oif it I need to give it one star again!

Luxury Facials, high quality products, amazing customer service!. if you want a bright cheery atmosphere, awesome customer service and the most pampering of spa services-then relax now is for you! this place is located in pacific heights, right on fillmore. the staff is super friendly and welcoming. the deglo colors and inviting relaxation lounge are my favorite things about this spa. they offer all sorts of amazing services from spa pedi's to waxing and luxury facials! when you make your appointment make sure to ask about the Fire & Ice Stone Therapy massage, you'll be in a trance after this one! the Thai massge is also interesting- its a very interactive massage in which you wear your workout clothes and stretch out your tired muscles as well as deep tissure massaging. relax now also has a sweet selection of high quality retail products and cute handbags to chose from.

After my experience I would absolutely recommend this spa!

i left very happy and relaxed!
