Sunshine Day Spa

Went here for the first time on a whim and took my elderly parents as it was close. Pro about this place is that I was able to get a reservation for 3 people with an hour notice and a 60 minute massage was $60 per person. The place is a typical Chinese run massage with no frills and you can hear other conversations in the place, so take headphones if needed. Their massage was par of what is expected. If you request deep tissue they will walk on your back and lighter massages they use hot stones. Cons are that they weren’t very good for deep tissue, but Swedish was acceptable. The part that bothered me was at the end they were haggling for more tip. I initially tipped $15 per person, but they were demanding $20 and was pushy about it. I paid it as the difference was not worth arguing over, but it left a bad taste and I will not be returning. Shame as I was looking for a regular place for my parents. If you are in a pinch, try it as they will likely have availably, but if you are looking for deep tissue, hassle free professional behavior, I’d try elsewhere.

I went to sunshine for a deep tissue massage to help with my chronic back pain and sciatica. The staff was super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. The masseuse was super professional and took her time with me asking me for feedback as we went. There was a little bit of a language barrier but we were able to discuss my pain points and needs. Sunshine has all sorts of services, like hot stones and back walking. The Massage was fantastic! The spa is clean and quiet and I will definitely be going again. At the end, there was plenty of water and candy. I have read other reviews about tips and didn't experience any such issue. Personally, I had no problem tipping a masseuse 25% or more for such a labor intensive job as being massage therapists. Its a hard job and they should be compensated for their hard work. I would like to thank the masseuse and all the staff for their help. I look forward to going back next month for another session. I would highly recommend.

The place has a decent massage but the issue is the hidden fees. Went in for a full body massage and was told it was 65 for the hour but then was asked to give the tip before the service and that it had to be at least 20 dollars. While tipping is important I have never tipped before having a service done because I believe a tip reflects that treatment you get. Not only that but asking for a minimum tip and threatening that the service would not be adequate unless the 20 was given beforehand is wrong. I ended up getting the massage and tipping more than the 20 because I believed she deserved it but still not proper customer service. People beware of the pressured tipping and treatment if you say no.

On Tuesday I was there for a massage. I paid $100 for two people. The girl who is with me 10 minutes after the massage offered me another hour for $20 and I agreed. but but it appeared to me strangely after supposedly the plane ended after 2 hours and I went to the box to pay the extra hour, but when checking the check-in time with the check-out time, it only flew after an hour and they offered $10 to each of the girls . To which he replied that they had given me an hour for $20, which never happened and I supposedly paid $20 per hour to each girl as a tip, it's not fair. It is not to recommend that place.

Great every single time! Rockville/Gaithersburg has a lot of low-quality massage places this is NOT one of them. This has been my goto place for years, a little hidden gem away from the others, where every single person offers a quality message that will bring you back week after week. If you are hunting for a place where you can get a high-quality massage, where the therapists know the body, and everyone listens to your needs, Sunshine is the place to go. Do yourself a favor and get an appointment today, great price its a win win.
