I have been going here for a while now getting consistently fantastic massages with a specific massage therapist (who had recently left). I still get great massages even though I miss my regular. I love the steam room afterwards - enough room to lay down! I've had the spa day treatment there as well (incl. massage, facial, manicure & lunch). I have never left feeling disappointed; always relaxed and refreshed. As a treat at the end of your massage, you are awarded a glass of lemon water and the owner's signature homemade cookies! It's a small gesture with great value for those who know what I'm talking about.
As of late, I stated seeing one of their stylists who I feel has been consistent with her work. I have been seeing the same person previous to Cavabien for well over a decade so this was a big step for me. So far I am pleased with her work and will continue to see her.
I had visited a couple, more popluar chain salons with so-so results, but that is not a viable option for me. As experience has proven the best service comes from salons that do not hide behind a branded name, but from private establishments that continue to uphold their high reputation in the industry. Their stylists seem to treat the business as their own and care about their individual work as much as the business owner does.
Everyone at this salon & spa has always been wonderful to work with. The location is one if the best in Calgary as it is not downtown with ridiculously over priced parking amid looming concrete structures. Instead Cavabien sits inner city within a nicely treed and trendy residential neighborhood with a private lot to park in or free street parking.
Go there now if you haven't been already.
