Lily is simply THE BEST massage therapist in the area!…read more I have a history of trauma and typically don't enjoy being touched, so finding someone I genuinely feel comfortable with has been incredibly difficult. From my very first appointment, Lily made me feel completely safe, respected, and at ease. I was actually able to relax during a massage for the first time in years. As a hairstylist, I deal with constant back and muscle pain, and Lily's deep, intentional massages provide the perfect pressure to release stubborn knots without feeling overwhelming. And her facials are just as amazing! I've been a certified sunbather for years (), and Lily has taught me SO much about my skin and the importance of protecting it from sun damage and using SPF. After seeing her consistently for the past year, my skin has completely transformed. I actually feel confident enough to leave the house without makeup some days--which is a HUGE deal for me! She also carries some of the best Korean skincare products, and I've learned so much from her about what my skin actually needs. Lily is definitely in high demand, so getting an appointment can sometimes be a challenge--but if you can get one, GO! I recommend her to pretty much everyone I know. She is incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and genuinely cares about the people she works with.

I had a really weird experience over the phone. I called the number listed for the business, and…read morewhen the lady picked up the phone, one of the first things she did was ask, "How did you get this number?" When I told her it is the one listed, I think she even asked me where it was listed. Like it wasn't supposed to be listed? Then, when I asked if she had any openings, she said, "Let me explain something to you, I have people scheduled for weeks out..." I actually ended up cutting her off because at that point, I didn't feel comfortable even if there was availability. So maybe if you're someone trying to find something new in the area, don't go with this business unless you know someone who knows someone. That's probably a better way to book with her than through the phone number that is listed.

This was my first experience with sugaring and Amber made it wonderful! Hair removal isn't exactly…read moremy favorite activity but I had heard great things about sugaring in general and this place. The receptionist was super friendly and helpful (particularly when I had trouble entering the front door). Amber was really personable and easy to talk to throughout my appointment. Most importantly, she did a really through job. She knew a lot about hair removal and was really confident in her work. I can't wait to see her for my next appointment. After I was done, the receptionist helped me book my next few appointments and they sent me home with some goodies and chocolate. A really lovely experience and I'm so glad I found a place that is local to me. If you've tried waxing, give sugaring a go and try out this place! I don't think you'll leave disappointed.

They are super quick, and from what I've heard, all their waxes are done similarly, so you can't go wrong with having anyone wax you here. I've personally only been to Aaliyah, but it was the fastest Brazilian I've ever had, and done in 12 minutes. Unlike my previous waxing establishment, you immediately strip down to whatever you need to expose right away in the room (Aaliyah turned around for this part to prepare for my wax), and then lay right on the table. I got my Brazilian done and then I got dressed and went out to pay. She cleaned off the table for her next client as I was getting dressed. She immediately took the next client. It was a quick & smooth process- I was amazed at how it was done so quickly & efficiently. They have so many specials (for example- I got the June Brazilian special for $45!!! That's $20 less than my previous spot). I will definitely return. It's a nicely decorated spot, but no extra frills- get what needs to get done and you're out within a good time frame.

Definitely come and check this place out! Was very impressed with overall service. Worth the value!read more

The owner was nice and greeted me and said she would be right with me. At 15 mins past my appointment time she said sorry I'm running behind I'll be with you as soon as I can. Finally at 1140 she says I can sit down, 40 minutes past my appointment time. The lady that was getting her nails done seemed happy(good for her I guess), but I made an appointment for a reason. I'd read the bad reviews, and decided to give the place a try anyways. Like I said, the ladies are nice and my nail turned out ok, but that didn't make the extra 40 mins worth it. Update(20OCT2018): So that denting happened the NIGHT I had my nails done. I paid $62 for nails that dented within hours and they didn't get started until 40 mins after my appointment time. Update(7:00PM same day) My thumbnail popped off.

I made an appointment over the phone while driving, and found the place fairly easily. There isn't much parking, but there are at least 5/6 spots available for the massage shop and it's neighbor, a speciality bakery. This place is a one woman show - a woman named Yvette. I ended up having 2 massages because the first one was so amazing. My first massage was a traditional Swedish massage. AMAZING! I've had about 100+ massages in my life and this was hands down the best. That is until my second massage from Yvette. My second appointment consisted of a quick leg wax and a hot stone massage. I had never had a hot stone massage before and I loved it. The best part was how attentive Yvette was telling me about her massage process and making sure I was happy throughout the process. Often massage therapists just do their thing. After my massage Yvette gave me some advice on stretching and techniques I could use at home to help with the tightness in my back. Super professional. Super friendly. Super Therapist!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE. You will too!

I went for my massage on a Sunday afternoon, and honestly, my expectations were low- I've had a couple massages (a while ago) that weren't the best and from the reviews on here, it looks a little rough. My appointment was with Ashia, and from the moment she pushed on my back, my body felt pressure relief. It was amazing. I ended up getting their monthly membership, and I'm excited to get these monthly! I recommend giving them a go- it was a relaxing experience, and they do offer some good deals, although the front desk does seem a bit "sales-driven," which isn't the best thing. Look past that, stay strong with how you feel, and go from there. Your body may thank you.

My review is based upon the service and experience I have received here. To try to put it shortly,…read moreI am most concerned with their cancellation process. I canceled my subscription in January due to not having time to come in the salon anymore. They stated I had to cancel in person, so I completed the cancelation with the front desk person. They told me I was good to go and would not be charged again. I could use my remaining one credit at another date. No further action required by me. Great. Fast forward to May 1st, I notice I have been charged $140 each month since January from MassageLuxe! I draft an email, send it to my local store, and call the center the following day. They state they will forward the request to regional manager. The regional manager calls me later that day and says they have no record of my cancellation. How convenient. Turns out they do not send receipts for cancellations. Ah ha! The regional manager says she can understand how I may think this is tedious but they need records of me cancelling, it's just business. Excuse me, well why maintain the record if you can just continue to charge me right? She stated "I signed a business agreement that states that I would cancel in writing". Why did the location tell me to cancel in person? I did that already! This is completely unfair. I then ask to speak to her manager. They do not give out their number she states, but would email on my behalf and follow up perhaps Monday. I'll update if they do so. Side note, when I had a membership the massages always started late, which caused the service to be shorter. I would wait in the waiting room sometimes 10-15 minutes after my massage start time. I never felt like it was really fair.

They applied the wax in small patches so the process took longer than need be. I'm not sure if it was the wax strips or wax that made the process hurt more than usual, but it was painful than a normal wax.
