My fiance and I got a couple massage on Friday evening. After you check in, they take you to their back lounge while the receptionist goes calls our masseuses. All the other rooms were empty so you don’t encounter any other guest as others have mentioned before. I went to the restroom while I wanted, and the toilet had a “sanitized” paper wrapped around the toilet so you know this place strives to make you feel safe.
For the couple massage, we were placed in two separate rooms but with the door open in the middle so we can see each other. It still felt intimate but at a distance My masseuse Dominque asked me what I would like to work on and detailed what she was going to start with before I got onto the bed.
First off, the bed is heated, the pillow for my foot was soft & fluffy, and the blanket felt like silk on my skin! After I got on the bed, Dominique but a hot rice bag on my back to promote circulation/pain relief before she started working on my feet.
You know how some people have certain talents? Well I think massages are Dominque. This woman’s technique was nothing like I felt before and her hands moved over my body like she was playing an instrument! It felt effortless but did wonders for my body. I usually ask for hard pressure since I feel I needed it in order to get my knots out but this time, I only needed normal/regular pressure. The whole experience was just so amazing, I didn’t want to get off the bed when she finished. While we were paying for our massage afterwards, the masseuses came out to give us peach mimosas and congratulated us on our engagement. Not only were all the ladies here professional, they are also super sweet. I can’t wait to come back again!

I had a facial with Sonia and came out with my skin feeling super hydrated without any of the greasy feeling that can sometimes come when layers of cream and lotions are put on you. With COVID and also being pregnant, it had been a while since I had treated myself to a facial and my skin was in bad need of a pick-me-up. Luminous was able to squeeze me in for a facial within 24 hours and my experience here from start to finish was one of both comfort and luxury at the same time. I was put in a state of total relaxation during my facial and I was surprised by how quickly an hour went by.
Would highly recommend coming to Luminous for any spa need that you have. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

It was wonderful. Samantha was my masseuse for day I went. Had a total relaxing time and a much deserved pamper. Precautions are taken for the appointment like temperature check and face mask required throughout the appointment. The price is decent and the atmosphere was welcoming as in the furniture were cute. I would definitively stay with this place for some time. Hoping to go as soon as I can or as soon as covid stabilizes.

Very peaceful, friendly and clean environment!
Had a 60 min facial and my skin and soul felt so refreshed! My therapist did excellent job. Also appreciated that she gave me recommendations on my skin care and adviced to change some of the products or the way I was using them, very knowledgeable and approachable employee. Even though I let her know it’s quite a long drive for me to their spa center and I will barely become a regular customer, still she went above and beyond.
Overall relaxing atmosphere with comfy interior and soothing music played, friendly and professionally trained staff, providing excellent service. Highly recommend!

Booking an appointment was really smooth. The services I used was a 60min Swedish CBD massage. The place is very clean and the interior is very warm and welcoming. I appreciate having this massage so much because during this pandemic: esp since working 8 hours in front of my screen 5 days a week has put such a strain on my back- my back felt so lose and comfortable afterwards. I definitely recommend this place

What a beautiful relaxing place, had the best massage ever. I’m usually not into massages with a lot of pressure but the woman I saw worked me out. She had an amazing technique with some pressure then followed by a relaxing touch. The check in and check out process was seamless and the ladies at the front were super sweet. I definitely will be back to this nice relaxing oasis.

Came here when they reopened after the shelter in place and let me tell you, they really good covid protocols in place.
They staggered the appointments so you ( or your party of 2) has the whole place to yourselves before and after your appointment time. So definitely social distancing to the finest.
They have plenty of hand sanitizer ( even a sanitizer for pen!!!). You also fill out a screening form which if you don’t meet certain criteria ( like you were out partying), they can reject you, which is great for the other customers!
Now the massage therapist is super on point with their PPEs and hand hygiene. My therapist was Daisy, she had an N95 mask on at all times ( you’ll have to wear a mask during your massage as well) and they use gloves. They also remind you to use hand sanitizer afterwards. My friend had Sam and said she was AWESOME.
Definitely felt really assured here and will come back!

I am pretty sure the only reason I didn’t start coming to Luminous day spa was because they never had walk in or schedule day of apts (at least when I called) but after my first experience I can see why!!! I wish I wouldn’t have settled on other spas and came here sooner. It’s so relaxing, smells great and it’s dark so you’re relaxation level is at its peak. If you have two services they have you wait in a cute little room with drinks and a bathroom. No rush at all, no pressure with cash tips and they have a awesome system where they split up your tips in your profile if you had two different people work on you. Soo worth the wait and I will definitely be coming back every 3 months. And yes everyone is wearing a mask.

Thank you Dee and staff for making Kristen’s 21st birthday a special day. She was treated like a princess and everyone greeted her with birthday wishes. Luminous never disappoints. Keep supporting our South city businesses.

I just got a Luminous facial today and it was the most relaxed that I have been in months! The staff was great, Melanie gave a great facial, and everything was very clean and organized. I highly recommend a visit to Luminous for all of your spa needs

It’s my husband’s birthday, so I booked us for the 90 minute couples massages at Luminous. LMAO!!! What a great find! I finally found the day spa I’ve been searching for. So unassuming from the outside but so nice inside. After checking in with the owner, Dee, we were whisked into the waiting lounge with peach bellinis. Now, I’m not a big drinker, but they were delicious. For the couples massage, we were actually in 2 rooms that were connected by a doorway. It worked out fine since I think we both fell asleep during the massage at some point. Veronica did a wonderful job with my massage. I know I fell asleep at least once when I was on my stomach and twice when she was massaging my feet. We are already planning our next visit for my birthday!

Luminous it is indeed! I had a FANTASTIC massage with Dominique today. I asked for medium pressure Swedish, and her delivery was on point. My husband said his deep tissue massage may well have been the best he’s ever had.
I love their setup. As soon as you check in, instead of keeping you in the waiting room, they bring you into a relaxation room in the back with large comfy sofas, candles, and fruit infused water. We were even offered robes, but we declined.
I also appreciated the little details. After the service, she offered both a heated wet towel and a dry one to get any of the excess oil off. And a choice of water, or wait for it, champagne!
Pro tip: on-street parking is cheap…$3 for two hours. Not close to BART, but you could conceivably walk the 1/2 mile or so from Caltrain.

So relaxing… actually fell asleep at one point. I’m not usually a fan of massages but maybe because I’m never completely satisfied usually. Luminous Day Spa was a pleasant surprise though. I made an appt for my mom and I to go and had Kim and Veronica, who were amazing!
The rooms were pleasantly scented and the heated table combined with intermittent hot towel wraps and perfect pressure made me feel completely relaxed by the end of the ssn. Kim worked on me for the full hour and really paid attention to areas that were feeling especially stiff. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Veronica is a sweet, skilled massage therapist. Her pressure made me feel things I’ve never felt before. Many times I thought I would black out…in a sedated peaceful kind of way. When she told me it was over, I immediately felt sad. It was over. I told her I wish it wasn’t.
Melanie was my esthetician. Her gentle hands massaged my face and I bet I had my mouth open the whole time. She beat up my congestion and left me w/ my face so clean…you could snowboard off of it. I’m still glowing lol.
Thank you both for a great day off‼I’m coming back

My massage therapist was Veronica! I am an athlete and coach who trains everyday, sometimes twice a day Olympic weightlifting. It gets extremely tasking on the body all the time so massages are required regularly. I was so lucky to have Veronica work with me because she is not only attentive but very considerate about my requests and needs. She alleviated an immense amount of discomfort that I was dealing with for a while after my last competition. Thank you Veronica! Hope to see you again soon.
