I got a manicure and pedicure from Kristine and a massage from Jennifer. Both services were outstanding. Both practitioners have definitely mastered their crafts. Kristine did a great job and even educated me about my nails. Did you know, for instance, that the only living part of your nails are the half moon part? The nail beds are dead. Yep,that's right. :),
The massage with Jennifer was amazing. Honestly, it felt so good. She is thoughtful with every massage stroke and has a system of hot towels support down too. It felt like what a massage is supposed to feel like. Actual pressure and care. She was just so present. I will definitely be back. It was one of the best massages I've ever had. I was so bummed when it was over.
The spa is nice too and they keep everything super clean, tidy and welcoming. Everyone that worked there was super helpful and cheerful - authentically. I'm guessing the managers there are good to their people. I hope so.
Sammy on the front desk was super helpful too. Thanks for loaning me your iPhone charger.
On another note, it is clothing optional but all the ladies using the jacuzzi had on their swim suit - at least when I was there. And it was awkward (well, for about ten seconds) because I didn't bring a suit. I say, be naked. Maybe that's the French in me. Or, perhaps just too many visits to Kabuki Spa in San Francisco.
