I've now had 2 massages at the Kierland Massage Club, both great and relaxing. I prefer a relaxing and soothing massage, that is what I wanted and that is what I got. If you need a more intense deep tissue massage then let the receptionist know when you book your appt. They have several masseuses at this location that do the full range of massage depending upon what you need - just communicate.
The staff is very nice as well and have accommodated my requests to have 2 simultaneous appts. booked so my husband and I can go at the same time.
A couple tips...
1. A 30 minute massage just isn't enough - splurge for the hour long at minimum.
2. If you have an eye mask bring it along... just helps to increase the relaxation by blocking out more light during your massage.
3. Bring a big bottle of water with you - you'll need it after the massage.
4. If you have long hair and some oil gets into it... let it say there overnight if you can. I couldn't believe how soft my hair was the next day after doing this.
5. Parking may seem like an issue when you arrive but they actually have underground parking here so keep that in mind if you can't find a spot at first.
