Candace is a must-see if you're having any type of TMJ issues. Even after one appointment I'm feeling remarkably better!

Was not impressed with my deep tissue experience here. After seeing all the excellent reviews, I was excited to try it out. The therapist did the exact opposite of what I wanted. I wanted to spend more time and concentrate on certain areas and she spent less time there. Wanted deep, firm pressure and received mild pressure. Even asked for more pressure and didn't notice a difference. The therapist was very pleasant to talk with, excellent at communicating, and asking what I wanted, but not for sure what the point of the assessment is if they're not going to follow through.

I got my first massage from Mason today. First of all, I was able to secure the appointment the same day which was very comforting. Mason was gentle and also effective. I felt very relaxed and also gently sleepy after my massage. I am very thankful for his magical and healing touch. I am looking forward to come back. Please give it a try and get a nice massage in this beautiful spa.

I was having an awful TMJ flare up this month and could barely eat/was in severe pain. I got two TMJ massages from Candace, and she made a world of difference with her wonderful massages and advice. I’m feeling so great again, and I had the best experience at In-Symmetry. Would highly recommend for anyone suffering with TMJ.

I've been coming to In-Symmetry Spa for years for both the facials and the massages. I have a quite a few places near me that I could go to, but the services are just that much better that I go the extra few blocks to book here. I love that you can book online and that they have Deep Tissue, Sports, and Hot Stone massages for a variety of times. I love their facials, as they are soooo relaxing and I always look amazing afterwards. I occasionally add-on the peel and look forward to trying the Gua Sha again. And note, they do men's facials - even men with beards!

JR is a great massage therapist! He’s very considerate and careful, has a wide knowledge of the body, and is passionate about his work. The spa venue is very relaxing, and I usually find parking nearby pretty easily.

Update - Had the most amazing facial massage yesterday at In-Symmetry Spa (San Francisco Mission). Their new esthetician partner Studio Soothe is so unique, I've never had a facial that focused on massage before, was so cool to get an expert like Minette to do gua sha and other massage techniques to my face, head, neck, and shoulders. I was so relaxed after I immediately went to sleep so peacefully. This is such a perfect addition to my fave results-driven massage spa, now I can get facials and massages in one convenient place! In-Symmetry is a gem of a spa in the mission. It’s easy to book appointments for facials/waxing, as well as their massages. The staff is super open to tailoring massages to fit your needs, from just wanting to relax and work out tension, to actual injury recovery. Janella, Jimmie, and JR are so knowledgeable and educate me when I have targeted pain. Candace, the owner, is a TMJ/jaw pain miracle worker, and always has helpful stretching advice. highly recommend checking out their menu to fit your relaxation needs.

I cannot recommend JR more! He approaches massage with such an educated whole body approach that really works. He’ll do stretches, or release tension behind my arms that I didn’t realize was causing my neck pain - it’s like seeing a chiropractor without any risk. I always feel incredibly relaxed AND have my issues resolved after seeing him! And he’s super kind and personable - I sometimes struggle to voice my preferences for pressure during massages (recovering people-pleasure here!) and he is excellent at checking in, as well as super responsive if something changes throughout. In-symmetry itself is also super easy to book (and reschedule, because working parent life is real), and the space is lovely. I’ve been coming here for years! The owner has always been super responsive if there are issues, like a last minute illness or scheduling miscommunication. Parking can be tough, but there’s a bike loop right out front. And sometimes I stroll over to Tartine Manufactory afterwards for a post-massage bliss lunch.

Review of MASON ENGLING I have been a massage therapist for 18 years. Now specializing in medical rehabilitation massage and a therapist for the San Francisco Ballet. Having said all that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Bodywork and am very particular who I go to. Today, I received a massage from Mason Engling. He is a very skilled therapist great manual skill. Great understanding of Anatomy and Physiology and how to apply the manual skills necessary to get the best therapeutic result. With an intuitive understanding of depth and pressure. Most importantly he listened during the intake and totally addressed what I requested. I would highly recommend him.

I had THE most incredible facial with Michelle yesterday! I've had a lot of facials but she is absolutely one of the best ever. She has such great hands and has clearly studied so many massage techniques! And she knows soooo much about skin care products--she really helped me navigate the world of retinol and hyaluronic acid and all the trendy things we're supposedly supposed to be putting on our face. I'm already looking forward to my next facial, it was such a wonderful experience!

Apr 05, 2024

Such an amazing experience, I got a facial with Kelly and it was so relaxing, my skin felt refreshed, I felt ten years younger, I cannot recommend enough. Kelly especially was such a pleasure to work with, made me feel very comfortable and did an amazing professional job. Will absolutely be returning.

Apr 05, 2024

The owner is so kind and welcoming and cares a lot about her customers and is open to feedback

Mar 05, 2024

Had the most incredible gua sha facial with Kelly. I have rosacea and am prone to redness, but incredibly, ever since the facial I've had the most even, smoothest skin. Cannot wait to go back when I visit SF again.

It has been 10+ years since my last facial and what a comeback today was! The owner took my call and set me up quickly and thoroughly with my therapist. My experience was SPLENDID from the booking until the end of my appointment. The space is beautiful; my treatment was incredibly relaxing - I dozed off several times-and my skin feels and looks great. The gentle facial massage , shoulder and arm massage left me in a more relaxed state than I’ve felt in a while. This place is a gem in a beautiful part of town. Thank you!!!!

Update: Candace went above and beyond to make sure I had an outstanding experience at In-Symmetry. I was rebooked with JR who gave me a fabulous message and the facial from Michelle was out of this world! Highly recommend! I had a very unique experience today while getting a massage. Gayle was my therapist and while they were highly professional they did not listen to my concerns to lower the pressure of the massage. I tried to bear through it at first but after a while the cumulative deep pressure mixed with some bad sports injuries I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I left in tears and not relaxed. Gayle mentioned that a lot of their clients cry during massages. I just hope no one has the experience I did.

A relaxing oasis in the heart of Mission Creek neighborhood. The treatment rooms have been recently refreshed and provide tranquil vibes. I had a wonderful facial from Irina that left me feeling soothed and centered all day. Highly recommended!

Feb 05, 2024

Had a facial with Arina. It was wonderful and she was great! I fell asleep a couple of times it was so relaxing. My skin looks and feels fabulous!

I am so happy to have found this AMAZING place! I went in for a wax, a Manzillian, and for some context, it had been a good long while. Candace helped get me booked with Meg(h?)an and when I tell you that this was the best wax I have ever had, I mean it. As a trans man, it is very difficult to find a place to go for a wax where people are informed and professional about folx with different bodies. It has been an anxiety ridden thing for me until today. I cannot recommend this place enough for those of you out there who may feel uneasy about your bits being out in front of a person with hot wax. This place is trans, BIPOC, and Alphabet Mafia friendly and incredibly welcoming. I have already booked my next appointment.

I recently had an incredible massage session with Sara. The therapist’s skilled hands melted away all tension, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed. The ambiance was soothing, and the overall experience was truly exceptional. Highly recommended!

Feb 05, 2024

Janella is an amazing massage therapist and I was a new woman after 90 minutes with her! Thank you so much In Symmetry Spa‼️ The energy is so great I should really look more into all of the other services they provide‼️ I walk in, and I just feel taken care of! I’m not sure how often I can say that to other places…

Feb 05, 2024

Love this place!

Feb 05, 2024

Massages are always great here but had a waxing appt with Meghan for the first time and it was the most gentle service I have ever received! I have super sensitive skin and I barely felt a thing. Amazing. 100% will be back.

Feb 05, 2024

Sara was great! She really tailored my deep tissue massage to focus on the areas that really needed work. Very personalized massage experience

Feb 05, 2024

Today I had an incredible facial at In-Symmetry with Irina: the 75 minute Soothe Signature Facial. Irina explained each step of the process and made it such an incredibly relaxing experience. There are just so many wonderful parts to this luxurious facial, the double cleanse, enzyme peel, soothing masques and the fabulous face/neck/shoulder/arm massage!! I don’t know any other way to say it - I felt completely transported. My skin is looking so bright, clear and glowy. I really enjoyed it and I feel like I just poured so much love into my skin. I'll be back! Thank you to Irina!!!

Always leave feeling better than I came in! Staff is friendly and well trained in their roles. I have back issues, and this is my go to place for relief. Highly recommend!

Great quality and service. I went there for a deep tissue massage on short notice and was handled expertly

Feb 05, 2023

I got a deep tissue massage from Emily. She was excellent. She used exactly the right amount of pressure, and found all my tender spots. I had a broken arm, and Emily worked around the injured areas and provided some extra pillows so l could adjust my position and lie down comfortably. The space was clean and welcoming. The heated table was a really nice touch and I basically just melted into it. Online booking was easy. There was plenty of availability, and the appointment reminders are convenient. I am so happy I came in. I feel at ease in my body, almost floaty, and I'll definitely be back.

Feb 05, 2023

This place is amazing. I’ve worked with three of the massage therapists so far and they’re all great.

Feb 05, 2023

Thy is very skilled and detailed-oriented. The ambiance is great. Love this local business.
