San Francisco's Kabuki Springs and Spa
If you are in San Francisco to pamper yourself, look no further than Kabuki Springs and Spa, located in Japan Center. Kabuki offers a wide range of body treatments and massage modalities for a relaxing, renewing experience in a beautiful atmosphere. Both men and women can enjoy the offerings at Kabuki whether they are looking for body healing, fresh skin, or simple relaxation. Treat yourself while enjoying the city to create a lasting feeling of well being that will pervade your entire visit.
The heart of Kabuki is the public Japanese style baths, which feature a large cedar sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and steam room. The public baths are gender segregated, with Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays set aside for women while men can visit on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Tuesdays, the baths can be used by either sex, although swim wear is required.
The baths are spacious and beautiful, and spa staff keep them immaculate. A community table has stocks of ice water, fresh fruit, and salt for exfoliation. On your way out the door, you can use a variety of moisturizers and toners at a large vanity table to make sure that you are prepared for the outside world. You will greatly enjoy the calm, restful environment filled with the sounds of running water and an overwhelming sense of peace and clarity.
If you are proceeding to a massage or energy treatment from the baths, you have a number of options including classic Swedish, deep tissue, Reiki, Shiatsu, Craniosacral, and orthopedic massage. Skilled therapists will work with you to create a grounding, relaxed session that will ease your muscles and your spirit. Kabuki also offers shiodhara, an Ayurvedic treatment that involves a continuous stream of warm oil which is poured over the head for a clarifying, grounding experience. For pregnant clients, Kabuki offers prenatal massage to nurture the expectant mother while easing physical discomfort associated with pregnancy.
If you are in need of a scrub or body mask, Kabuki has a number of scrumptious options including herbal wraps, Javanese Lulur, and wraps and polishes which use ingredients like seaweed, ginger, green tea, salts, and essential oils. Your skin will be left smooth and glowing with a fresh, soft, supple feel that will delight you for days. You can also indulge with a foot ritual or receive a facial tailored for your skin type.
Kabuki also offers a variety of spa packages if you are interested in combining several body treatments or therapies during your visit. They are located at 1750 Geary Boulevard, and are open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
