This is a hidden gem! So let me start with the aesthetician, Valentina. She's amazingly knowledgeable, understands all types of skin, and combines beautifully classic facials with all the modern new technologies. Plus an awesome human being. My skin has never looked so good. Next great find right here in the saloon, is Dr. Vadim Chalov. He's an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with the background in classic medicine - he is an MD and was a surgeon in the past. Since I starred getting regular treatments there my stress has gone down, I feel so much more relaxed, barely get sick and feel great overall, although I'm dealing with a very stressful family situation. Next great find here are the facial and body sculpting massages by Maria and Zhanna. I was a super skeptic but in less than 10 sessions of messages my face looks 7-10 years younger. The sagging jawles are gone and the eyelids are back where they should be. Overall tone of the face is also great. Then i also get regular bamboo massages. Though they are not for the faint at heart, they made my skin on the buttocks, legs and tummy much more supple. Overall amazing! Also one notable thing, the people mentioned in the bad reviews are all gone now and a new set of professionals work here. read more

I was here last week for their evening meditation session and forgot my jacket, so I went back to pick it up today. When I entered, nobody was at the front desk, but I could hear a woman's voice in one of the rooms, so I figured I'd wait until she was done. While waiting, I noticed a table covered with nearly a dozen lotion bottles each labeled "TESTER" and thought to myself, I'm looking for a new lotion - perfect! Ooh, and one was Acai Berry scented. I was excited to try it, and yes the bottle 100% did say TESTER. As I opened the lid with the intention of squeezing a tiny dollop, the bottle accidentally gushed out about 3/4 of a tablespoon because it had been strangely pressurized. It was slightly more than I could use, and very wet. Of course, the moment this happened, the owner, Ereeda, came out. I was graciously apologetic about the incident and inquired as to whether she had a napkin or paper towel, because it was clear that I couldn't rub it into my hands to be absorbed. I was shocked at her reaction. She curtly said, "No" with an air of major arrogance and disdain. She then proceeded to place my jacket on the table (she knew why I was there, as I had called before coming) and then turned and left the room. The clincher here is that I noticed as she was walking away that there was a full roll of paper towels no more than 8 feet from where we had been standing!!! Now, I'm not an idiot, and I think it's clear what was going on. Seeing as (A) I was not a paying customer and (B) I wasted some of their product, she wasn't willing to spend the extra 5 cents or however much to give me one of her paper towels. Or maybe it was because I was wearing jeans and a sweat shirt and hadn't put on any makeup? I almost felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman in the shopping scene. Anyhow, I had been polite and friendly, and had been seriously considering purchasing this lotion. Due to her attitude, I did not buy anything. It's been a long time since anyone has treated me this rudely. Moral of the story: If you own a business, treat your clientele (and really, anyone who enters your business) with kindness and respect. If not, you could lose potential income that clients may have spent if you had been more kind. I'll never come back. read more

I love getting facials so when I saw a Groupon offer I grabbed it. The salon is near where I live and plenty of parking. The deal was for a 75 minute European facial. How cool. Most of my experiences with Groupon offers have been received quite well in my experience. After all these companies are giving great deals on something they would normally get paid a lot more. Not this place. From the moment I called I got a fairly frosty reception. When I arrived I purposely was extremely friendly as I was really looking forward to a treat and wanted them to know I appreciate the discounted opportunity. No such luck: The entire experience was rather unfriendly and average. Plus my 75 minute facial lasted barely 55 minutes. The woman criticized my eyebrow shape which I get done professionally at very good salon. Her skills were less than satisfactory. It's too bad for them because in several circumstances the companies I find on Groupon have gotten me as a regular customer. I changed dentists from using a Groupon deal. The folks that offer these deals should keep that in mind. You never know. read more

i heard about ereeda spa through trubates.com, and decided to purchase the voucher and make an appt for a full brazilian bikini wax. here's what i liked: *great location (business district of palo alto) *clean/private room *good quality wax (did not irritate my skin or leave any redness after) *good waxing technique *fast service (she was done in 10-15 minutes). here's what i didn't like: *LOTS of hair left in the bikini area (i spent about 30 minutes plucking this area when i got home) *extra fee to have the inside buttocks waxed (this is usually included in the full brazilian at most salons, as i've never had to pay extra for the buttocks) *technician's refusal to wax the inside part of the lips (quoting this is not allowed/unethical). *technician's diagnosis of a "mark" she found on my skin, and telling me that it's cancerous and that i should have my ob/gyn take a look and remove it...um, really???? are you a doctor? overall, an average wax job. i probably wouldn't go back again since i had to spend so much personal time cleaning up what should have already been taken care of during the appt. read more

A large Russian man gave me a very good massage here and I got a very good facial from a rather blunt Russian woman. The Russian woman in particular was not very good on the phone, but she was more helpful in person and the face massage she game me during the facial was super relaxing. All in all I had a good experience here. It's not the fanciest place and the decor is outdated, but it feels like a good place to be a regular. read more

Got a Groupon deal - but their regular prices didn't seem to bad either. Scheduling was easy - I got the time slot I wanted. The place isn't fancy, but the massage was ok. read more

Great massage from the Groupon offer! Regina was my masseuse, and I could tell within a few minutes that was great at her craft. The rolling motion of her arms had this great element of harmony, like she knew exactly when to apply more pressure in each arm. I might come back again, though I might look for a place in Redwood City closer to home. I left feeling good and exited to the Palo Alto farmers market. read more

I got a Swedish massage with Igor that I bought through Groupon. Great value for Palo Alto and a convenient location. A little hard to find the storefront since it is hidden across from the Molly Stone's parking lot rather than facing California Avenue. Igor is a very nice older man that is serious about his work. Very professional. I love that he doesn't try to have conversations with me while I am trying to relax during the message like some therapists, which can be really distracting or annoying. Good experience and a good massage. I wish he had massaged my hands and feet but he did not. Not the best massage I've ever had, but better than average. I would definitely return. Normal price is $75 for a 60 minute massage, but he after the massage he offered me a dirt cheap 5 massage package of $40 per massage!! It's such a great value and convenient for me that I may just have to buy it... The interior is nicely decorated, with lots of marble, and quite luxuriously for this price point! read more

I booked a massage through Groupon. I would recommend a massage by Igor. He was very professional and gave a relaxing massage for the hour. He would ask if the pressure was good and did a job of communicating that. Give him a try and hopefully his schedule is more open. Make sure to call in and schedule a time. I just wished there was a better way of scheduling. read more

I bought an European facial from Groupon, but ended up paying 20 bucks more for extra premium products. The spa room is quite small but the therapist definitely knows her stuff and the service is great. I think I may come back again. Is this a review? read more

I have been working with Tanya on various aspects of my body. She has a great knowledge and experience. Her massages are excellent, she really has a magic touch and I practically fall asleep every time :) My job can be quite stressful and it is crucial if i can relax when getting a massage. I can do it with Tanya. She also is very nurturing. Also she always makes sure I drink water after massage. Makes me feel really cared for. In addition she has been working on my face and neck to help with some things. SOOO good. There are techniques and product she uses, but most of all it is her touch and again experience. The place itself is a bit worn out but a very convenient loca. so 4stars for that but Tanya is a 5* Esthetician/Massage Therapist read more

I just had another great massage here today. I have back, shoulder & neck pain. Igor is a great therapist! He was very professional and knowledgable. He knows what he is doing, very attentive and accommodating. The room is nice and clean, very relaxing. Definitely will come back. read more

My girlfriend went for a massage with Igor and came home very shaken up. She had gone for several massages with Igor and on one prior occasion, thought Igor was spending too much time and getting uncomfortably close to her underwear. She said she wasn't sure if Igor was being sleazy or if he did it harmlessly, so she gave Igor the benefit of the doubt and went back for her final massage and had a traumatic experience. Igor literally began to massage inside her underwear, saying the pubic muscle was tight. She had given Igor the benefit of the doubt and trusted that he had good intentions, but this crossed the line and truly felt like a violation. She and I both no longer trust Igor's credibility as a legitimate masseur. I doubt that my girlfriend is the first person to have experienced this feeling of distrust, confusion, and insecurity after one of Igor's massages. If Igor had any professionalism and decency, he would not put his clients in situations in which they feel mistrust and insecurity about the massage and his intentions. The fact that Igor didn't care to make his client feel safe and/or had sleazy intentions, is more than enough for me to strongly, strongly not recommend you go to Igor for your massage. A client should never leave the massage wondering if they've been violated, or if their trust has been taken advantage of. I initially hesitated to put up this review, but we had a gut sense that this wasn't the first time this sort of thing has happened here. Folks, don't doubt your gut or intuition; It's the masseur's job and responsibility to make you feel safe and secure. If you feel unsafe or doubt the masseur's intention during the massage, please speak up. Btw, my girlfriend didn't feel comfortable posting this herself, so I've done it on her behalf. read more

I had massage and facial here. Facial with Marina and massage with Igor. Facial wasn't professional at alI, felt like i didn't have a facial at all.. no steaming, stinky towel on my face, no face massage techniques... my skin didnt look good after this facial at all. Massage with Igor wasn't good as well. I didnt enjoy it neither felt good after. He is pretending to be great massage therapist, but he is not- no massage techniques, cant ajust a pressure - it is either a pain or no pressure at all. I could' t wait when my massage is done. Terrible. I don't recomend any treatments in Spa by Ereeda. read more

Horrible... This was not a massage. If you are looking to be just lathered up with oil then this is the massage you are looking for. Not a good experience. read more

I wanted to make an appointment using a Trubate coupon but was disgusted when I called to make an appointment. All the times I requested was booked. It didnt sound like they were willing to work with you if you don't pay full price. Good thing I called before actually buying the coupon. read more

I tried calling this business at least 20 times during a two day period, sent an email, and left voicemails but never got any type of response. Look elsewhere for your massage needs. read more

This was probably the worse massage I have ever had ( and I have had quite a few...). At the time I made my appointment I told them that I was using my Groupon coupon. Unlike many other occasions I felt that the quality (or lack of ) the massage equaled the price I paid for it: very little. I left with no feeling of well being and my arms hurt in places where too much pressure was applied. And my feet ( clean and in new sandals ) were never touched. The music was supposed to be of the soothing waves, but it sounded more like traffic going by. The room was way too warm and very small. In conclusion: not a good experience. read more

I've been trying to call this place at least a dozen times during their business hours to make an appointment for the past month, and the calls have always gone straight to voicemail. Finally I gave up. Not sure how their service will be if they can't even bother to answer the phone. read more

The experience was awkward from the moment I made the appointment. I simply asked Tetyana if she works on weekends, and she started complaining making too little from groupon, and she was going to broke if she worked on weekends. Fine, got it, so I booked an appointment in the morning. I showed her a picture of my groupon bar code upon arrival, which was what I always do to other groupons, and all vendors had no problem accepting it. She made a big deal out of it, saying she could not accept it, because she couldn't trust my identity, and she needed another number on the bottom right of the groupon. After so many explanations, I felt as if she did not want any groupon customers. I told her that if I couldn't get the pdf version of groupon by the end of facial, I would pay for the full price. I was already over-stressed from the conversation with her before I laid on the table. The facial was just OK, but she cut it short from 75 minutes to 55 minutes. She also criticized the results of my previous facial, which happened to be my best facial ever. I finally got hold of my husband and had him email the full pdf groupon to me. She probably had sensed that I was not happy with her, she tried to make it up by giving me some water and inviting me to sit on the couch, then she started to sell her next massage to me. But it was too late, should she treated me better, and not cut corners, I might have bought her next appointment. I do not think I will come back again. read more

Valentina has been taking care of my skin for over eight years. She is the best-educated and most versatile aesthetician I have ever met. Her genius is the creativity she brings to each treatment, pulling together her years of experience and training to provide exactly what is needed. Over the years I have followed her advice and product recommendations and couldn't be happier with the results. However, what I appreciate the most is that Valentina has taught me to understand the needs of my skin. read more

Thanks to Groupon, I came here for a much needed massage. Igor gave a great Swedish massage so I'll be seeing him again soon!

Had a Swedish massage with Igor that I purchased through Groupon. I was a bit nervous about it being a man, but he was very professional and the massage was great. Ranks up there with some of the best I have had. I will be coming back read more

Did the Groupon massage thing - first in years - was initially reluctant for male masseuse but Igor did a great job!

Went to see Igor for the groupon deal- the massage room was really nice, tranquil music and I found the setting very relaxing. For the price, you can't beat an hour long Swedish massage. Igor was professional and nice-attentive to my needs. Check in with Igor for any specials if you missed the groupon! read more

Massage by Igor: Returning customer. The first massage was great, and the second massage was even better. Massage is crossed between a swedish and a sport massage, each massage different than the last, yet comfortable and relaxing. Good massage technique. read more

I purchased Massage, Facial, or Full Treatment Facial Package at Beauty Spa By Ereeda for $39 at Groupon. I called and made an appointment. When I arrived, I was a little bit surprised at how small the room was, but after I laid down and Tanya's (the Esthetician who worked on me) hands touched me, at that moment, I knew it did not matter what the size the room was. I got one of the services that was described on Groupon (75-minute European facial ) and enjoyed it tremendously! She obviously knows what she is doing. She is a very talented and well educated woman with extremely pleasant vibe and great energy, as well as wonderful skillful hands! I highly recommend her for massages & facials. I purchased the $59 groupon soon after my first visit. It includes the oxygen treatment, unstress rosacea treatment, anti-acne treatment, collagen treatment, and an anti-aging treatment . I thought the collagen treatment was fantastic! I really could see the difference after the first time! I could not believe my eyes! I have done it 4 more times after that. I feel like my skin is smoother, evenly colored and most definitely has fewer wrinkles! Even my girlfriends notice and compliment me on my new beautiful skin! I highly recommend Tanya for facials & massages! I hope my review helps you and that you enjoy your experience with Tanya as much as I did! read more

I got a deal online & made an appointment for the very next day, I had no issue with that. It was a decent place, tidy & clean, I got a Brazilian wax by Elaine, she made me feel as comfortable as I could have under the circumstance, I like it here & will go back!! read more

We had a LivingSocial/Groupon Deal so me and my husband came here to get our 1 hour massage. The owners were very sweet and nice! I felt very comfortable and relaxed. The swedish massage was very good! read more

I purchased a Groupon for the 60 minute Swedish massage with Igor, and it was fantastic. He was patient, respectful, and really targeted the massage to areas of shoulders/neck that I indicated were painful & tight. Highly recommend! read more

I have been going to this Spa for facials for the past 6 months. Valentina is very nice and knows what she is doing. My skin and I both enjoy our monthly facials a lot. The salon is nice, cosy, clean, well decorated, and most importantly well situated. They also offer very good skin products with reasonable price. I highly recommend Valentina. read more

I got a great massage from Igor. Bought a Groupon for this place not knowing much about it. I was very pleased with my massage. At the start of the massage, Igor took a few minutes to talk with me about why I was getting the massage and the injury to my shoulder. He then spent the majority of the hour working on easing my shoulder and neck pain. Igor was professional, seemed to really understand the how the muscles of the human body impact one another, and gives a damn good massage. read more

Very nice, beautiful, and friendly place! Staff is very knowledgeable and experienced. Facial product is excellent! I have been coming to see Elane for over 10 years for different services and always was satisfied with her performance. read more

For the past 3 months I went to Ereeda for various massages.I enjoyed every single session with Igor and felt wonderful after it. Igor knows many techniques and always tries to find what works best for you. The atmosphere is very pleasant and you can really get away from it all. My friends commented on my relaxed and radiant looks without knowing that I had a massage :-) read more

This spa experience was first rate. I really found the massage therapist to be knowledgeable and concerned about making sure the massage would be customized to any issues I may have been having. I was greeted when I walked in the door and escorted to a simple but comfortable room. The massage was really good. I was asked at acceptable intervals if the pressure was OK and my answers were honored and pressure changed or maintained as requested. Igor Rocks! The only negative thing I have to say about the experience was that I could hear the phone ringing in what I assume was the reception area, several times during my massage. I read more

If you are looking for an excellent aesthetician who is up-to-date with the best techniques in skin care at a fair price - look no further! Valentina is highly professional, well trained and very experienced. She has been my skin care professional for more than 10 years and keeps my skin looking healthy and fresh. The skin care products are excellent quality and vary in price based on the manufacturer. Ereeda products are of very high quality and at a very reasonable price point. I love my facials with Valentina and find amazing results from the LED light treatments. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

I went to Igor for the Groupon Swedish massage. The place is nothing special, and there is no receptionist, so I felt a bit anxious at first. But Igor came out at the appointed time and was very professional. Igor used to be a Russian physicist-I think he's lived a very interesting life. Igor is very professional and good at what he does. I would definitely come back. I think they might be cash-only for both payment and tip, so come prepared. read more

clean & cozy place, friendly staff. been to this place a few times, same parking lot as Mollie Stone's. best deep tissue massage I've ever had, haven't tried anything else. read more

I had several professional massages with Igor. However, the last one made me extremely uncomfortable. I have always had good experiences with massages--usually with women. In the future, I will go to women exclusively. read more

i have been seeing Valentina for my skin care needs for over 3 years. She is by far the best aestheitician that I have ever gone to. Valentina's knowledge of skin care and products is exceptional, having trained at elite beauty schools in Europe. I have noticed a significant improvement in my skins appearance since beginning treatment with Valentina and her entire line of skin care products are suberb. I use everything from the cleanser to the night cream. I would not hesitate reccomending Valentina to anyone who is looking for the best aesthitician in the bay! read more
