| - I saw Samantha for a 50 minute hot stone massage and she was great. Very nice and seemed to know exactly what spots to hit and for how long to massage them. The hot stone massage felt SO great. Some parts of the massage were painful but I was super tense and had some knots so getting through the pain for the 5 seconds she went over those spots was worth it--I feel super relaxed now (about an hour later). (Also, you can always tell them if it it really is too painful.) It was my first visit so I paid $75 (including 20% tip).
They offer you water at the end and it's either a bottle or a Styrofoam cup. I like lemon in my water so it would be nice if it was a glass and they gave you a few minutes to sort of "come back to life." You feel rushed out (not by Samantha, she told me to take my time after she was done) but you just get dressed and the leave the room, walk into the lobby, and pay.
The lobby is nice and relaxing, the room was pretty dark, and the music was good--classical piano. At times the music seemed kind of sad but that is a super picky point. I'm more of a person who likes to hear the sound of water or something and I'm sure for most people the music is fine.
TIPS:
Ladies put your hair in a bun or pony tail. I forgot and let my hair down and she got some lotion/oils on the bottom layers of my hair.
PROS:
They have a membership program ($50/month) that let's you enjoy one massage or facial (it's like $30 off list price) and also significantly discounts other services. This makes the spa actually a lot cheaper than other spas in the area. They also push you to buy their "wellness program."
CONS:
It feels like a chain, and for how expensive it is compared to other day spas in the area (if you pay per service), I don't think it's that great of a deal if you're not a member. Their prices are actually more expensive for some of their services than other spas that are much higher end.
BOTTOM LINE:
I probably won't go back here again. I feel like the $75 was kind of expensive for the total atmosphere. Samantha was great, her work was definitely worth what I paid, but when I go to the salon or spa I like to enjoy the whole experience. This place is really lacking in that department. I'm the kind of person who would rather spend a little bit more and get a lot out of the 1-2 hours than save $20-$30 and feel like I'm missing something.
However, if you need/want to get massages/facials/waxing often and can't afford to go to an upscale salon every month, then definitely go here. The $50 membership program seems super reasonable and you probably get a lot of out it--especially since other services are so heavily discounted.
I personally would rather get a massage every once in a while and save up and go somewhere really nice.
