Lily was courteous, professional, and friendly. She obviously knew what she was doing (my back will attest to that). I need to make a massage a regular part of my monthly schedule (and I will).

I live in the Bay Area (SF) and get massage pretty regularly, and this is definitely one of the best massages I've ever gotten. (I usually have to tell massage therapists to go deeper and I didn't have to this time.) I'm taking care of an elderly family member, so Covid and general cold/flu precautions are extra important to me right now, so I was happy that Diane was vaccinated and wore a mask during our massage. Great massage, Diane. I'll be back before I head back home.

I want to sing the praises of my stylist Erica Enos. I saw an unfounded, uninformed negative reply…read morefrom back in 2018 and I thought, why not balance out the one-star review with some facts and some insider information. Right? Who needs negativity? Erica has been cutting my hair for over 5 years and I have never been happier. People stop me in Costco, at the movies, in Florida and in airports and ask WHO DOES YOUR HAIR?! I carry her cards with me. I have referred my friends to her because she's AWESOME. I look great every single cut/color! Did you know that Erica is a sole proprietor working 50-60+hrs per week. She started when she was 19 and her passion and knowledge of hair styling shows on every client. She cuts & colors, styles, advises and also is a cosmetologist who really loves doing facials. Although she is licensed to massage and do mani-pedi's she's recently given those up to focus on hair and skin. Erica has wonderful, friendly clients who return over and over and have followed her whenever she has relocated over those 20+years. Now that's loyalty. And yes, Erica "is" TRULY booked out 2-3 months. How do I know for sure? Well, occasionally I help her with scheduling and get to see how full her schedule is. Also, did you know that over 60% of Erica's clients have been with her since she opened her first business 20+yrs ago!!! Every client of Erica's is a walking endorsement. Erica is funny, sweet and talented! Rarely doe she ever run late - she makes sure that you have her undivided time and attention. I have never, ever known Erica to be unprofessional or rude. If anything she has a hard time speaking up or saying no and will work past closing to accommodate her clientele. Her business is now located in Salon Trendz, which is another great salon with a great group of stylists and a massage therapist. If you would like a change, call 413-284-4425. You will probably have to wait for an opening, but trust me and her 103 other clients, "she's worth the wait". ~written by Jocelyn Miller, devoted client, helper and friend.

Right in front of me, she spent a minute or two smoothing the sheet on the massage table to make it look like I hadn't just been lying on it--nude and mostly face-down--for an hour. Then she put a fresh folded towel at the foot of the bed. I said to her, "You don't change the sheets?" She didn't seem to understand, and when I pointed to the sheet she had just left on the table, she said something I didn't understand, but didn't remove it. I feel sick at the thought of how many strangers' body fluids I might have just been wallowing in. If you decide patronize this business--ask them to put fresh linens on the table BEFORE you lie down. They can't be trusted to do it themselves. If it weren't for this aspect of the experience, I'd have thought the massage was adequately good and fairly priced. They lose all the stars for their grim hygiene.
