In-Symmetry

I have been going to this place for years. It is not in the middle of things and it is in an area that is a little funky to find but it is a hidden gem. Hot stone and deep tissue massage like no other. I alternate between massage therapists (Jackie, Donna and Joey). They are all three deep and excellent! I only get my facials with Shana. She puts you into a state of mind that you never want to come back from. Then you wake up with glowing, hydrated skin. The price is reasonable and the service is above and beyond it's prices.

Pros: Tons of Parking, Affordable, Friendly Staff

Cons: Funky Location

It all started out nice as a gift from my wife for my birthday after she had reviewed this place as the #1 best sf massage on city search. This place is in a gated residential condo/loft above the industrial thug area in between 280 and 101 in SF. They have no sign or safe parking unless you drive a cheap car or accept to pay one of the homeless outside to watch it for you. I honestly did not feel safe so I had to cancel the appointment. As a result the owner charged in full not only for the time slot as some other places might, but for all services scheduled. So if this sounds like a good time to you go for it but I will stick with the extra fee and get pampered as you should in the spa's downtown. If you are use to a full body private massage at someones home this is for you. .

Pros: past clients like it

Cons: no safe way up to the location

I hate to give such a high rating because because this may make it harder for me to obtain last minute appointments in the future. I live down the penisula and not in SF. However, whenever I go shopping in the city, I drop for a facial and massage. Last friday, Joey and Cynthia provided the services. They were both great! Each took the time to explain what they were about to do and make the enviroment completely relaxing. Joey does deep tissue, not your spa-like deep tissue. Sometime when you tell someone that you want deep tissue, the massage ends up being a light weight session. I even had to tell him to lighten up a bit, which never happens but I felt completely relaxed afterwards. Cynthia's facials were great...the products were cooling and my face felt continue to feel wonderful afterwards. I haven't had a facial in years but not only are her products cool, she does a great massage on shoulders/hands. Again, she is sensitive to individual needs...I hate that steam machine...sometimes feels suffacating...so she doesn't point it directly on my face. This place is highly recommended because it has great people that provide outstanding service and is not like some of those 'chi-chi' spas that sometimes treat its clients like cattle to move people in and out.

Pros: service oriented, relaxing enviroment

Cons: none at this time.

Wendy is amazing!! She has such great hands - she gave me a therapeutic, deep tissue massage to work out some very old knots in my shoulders and neck. Add the hot rocks and I was in LaLaLand. It was intense at times (a good kind of intense) and she checked in with me often to make sure the pressure wasn't too deep for my comfort level. Immediately after my massage, I was dazed and didn't know which way was up. Now, a very hot shower and a few hours later, I feel energized yet totally relaxed. Thank you, Wendy, and thank you In-Symmetry!

I just had a deep tissue/hot rocks massage with Katie and am happy as a clam. She has a flowy and rhythmic style which lulled me into a deep, relaxed, hypnotic state. The arm and hand massage were wonderful - I didn't want it to end! I will definitely be back for more!!

Pros: Love the loft space, friendly attentive staff, more than reasonable prices

Cons: None that I can think of!

wow - i feel so much better after an afternoon at in-symmetry. i just had a kick-ass massage with sonya t. and loved it!! her technique combines deep tissue massage with myofascial trigger point therapy. it was perfect for all the aches and pains i was having in my shoulders and arms. 5 solid stars for sonya and for in-symmetry! (there are 2 sonya/sonja's at in-symmetry. i've heard sonja is awesome too but haven't been able to try her yet. this review is for sonya t.)

Pros: unpretentious atmosphere and super friendly staff!

My husband and I went to San Fran for a weekend getaway and I found In-Symmetry on City Search. The best massage, friendly staff, professional therapists, relaxing environment. It was nice to get out of downtown and explore the city a little deeper. I'm ready to plan my next trip to San Francisco, just to go back to In-Symmetry for another Hot Stone Massage.

I have been going to In-Symmetry for six years now. I have watched this business grow from just Candace and Corey to many AMAZING therapists and facialists. There are 19 total, to be exact :-) I have gone to each and every person that joins the team at one point or another. I feel like it is a fun mix of people that are extremely gifted. I am a nerd and keep notes on each person so I can figure out my mood and go to the appropriate person for the week. It feels like a smorgasbord of people to choose from. I LOVE IT! Not to mention I have seen a HUGE difference in my skin since using the products Corey spent so many years searching for. They work wonders on me. AND a big huge plus is the price that allows me to go every week! The setting is in a loft complex. So it feels just like a home away from home. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Only issue is finding the location. Tricky but once you do, you found a treasure chest!!!!
