Jesse was my masseuse and he was extremely professional and personable. I had made an appt for the 60-minute Swedish massage and caught myself almost drooling a couple times! The entire massage felt amazing. I did have some knots in my left shoulder area, where Jesse said he was using more pressure than he would in a normal Swedish massage. He said he was doing this to relieve the knots and to let me know if it was too much to handle. I let him know that I knew I needed it and to continue and thanked him for the explanation. I will most definitely be back. Thank you!

I made an appointment online, received multiple reminders via text messages and email about the appointment, came here on time and found the lights are off and the door was locked. I called her on the phone. Not only she was not apologetic, she was extremely rude and said she was only taking appointments by phone. She said she has kids to take care of, somehow she knew I am Chinese American, according to her I should cut her some slack because we are both Asian. I would cut her some slack if she wasn't so damn rude after wasting my time. She sounded flustered and angry, I don't see someone like her can give a relaxing massage.

I would give this place TEN STARS if possible…read more I have been seeing an overpriced and good but not great massage therapist for the past four months. Once a month. It's a pain to book and you have to prepay or it's stupid expensive. They want you to tip 25-30% too. Ugh. On a lark, I walked into this place which is 150 feet from my garage. I have been in terrible pain in shoulders and neck due to GI angst. COCO IS A GENIUS. The hot cupping did more to release the pain than anything I've done all year. I will go back. If you go , TIP HEAVY. 49/hour is wayyyyy too low for the level of massage and knowledge Coco possesses. I'm 49 and danced, taught exercise. A lifelong fitness maniac. So I have had tons of body work. Coco touched my right shoulder and said, "Oh you f******" up. I didn't have to tell her a thing. Trusted her instantly. Also she is hilarious and needs an off-Broadway show. Stat.

It was actually impressive the amount of tensions spots missed. Asked for no oil, got completely covered in oil. Masseuse seemed like she barely knew what she was doing. You know when it just feels like rubbing on skin? Thats exactly what about half the massage felt like. After spending 20 min in the bathroom rubbing oil off my body, I somehow left with more knots than I came with. Shame because the space is so beautiful and nice, as well as staff. Staff just need better training.

I scheduled a couples massage via text, so I don't know exactly who our masseuses were (from website pics, I think Nikki and Nina?); but they were nice overall. The room was very clean and comfortable with relaxing music. We did 60 min, but were not asked what type of massage, just about the amount of pressure. I like a REALLY hard deep tissue or even Thai when they stand on top of you, but this felt more like Swedish with some stretching. I liked the hot towels, but thought we were getting hot stones. Be sure to read the menu in their website ahead of time to communicate exactly what you want. Pretty good price for the privacy and care, but not exactly as advertised.

Massages are an interesting experience i.e. getting touched by someone you don't know, but Sheena was great and made me feel comfortable and safe. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the massage was the best of my life. I asked Sheena about the modality, and apparently Marlo developed and teaches a style all her own. Sheena was very good at working overused areas without making things painful or causing bodily discomfort. The price was reasonable for the quality of service. I went after they won a Santa Barbara Independent "Best Of" award, and I could see why they did.
