I won't name who it was that did my service, she was a very nice person, just not a person you'd want doing your Brazilian. I felt like communication was something I had to reiterate and at one point I looked down and saw the side that was "finished" flared up and bruised along with fine hairs that remained despite the trauma. That is actually the word I would use to describe my experience, traumatizing.

The aggressive rejuvenating facial preformed by Stormie left actual scars where I was scratched. The owner, she lets her under experienced girls handle all her mess ups once she's let the previous girl go. An employee said "I don't believe that's from us" I was dying. I now need Co2 laser to correct what they did to my face. I lived exactly 1 block away. I pray this business shuts down. Scam artists. I should have sued. Justice will be served. This pic doesn't do justice. Lost my dog Honey and everything. I need answers. Why the aggression continues to get worse is starting a trickling effect beyond my ability to believe the true sanity of people. There needs to be a turning point and deep repentance happening here. God is sovereign and just to all. The series of unfortunate events is unacceptable. No excuse. Still living in utter disbelief. This is a second review I am leaving.

The lack of massage during a body treatment is sorely disappointing. The pressure was too light to…read morerelieve any stress, except for the scalp massage that was nice. The gloves she wore irritated my skin. Her hands shook, like she was scared to touch me. They obviously have an esthetician doing body work, instead of a massage therapist. She never even touched my lower back or glutes and she accidentally poked my vagina twice during draping. The company called to say they would like to make it up to me, but when I called back the manager was out so I left a message and she never called back. Avoid this place.

I have been coming for a massage monthly for some time now. Over two years of monthly membership. I…read morealways look forward to my massages. I am doing another update considering what recently happened. A month ago I had an appointment. I got a call from Spavia that my masseuse was not going to be able to make the appointment. We were able to set up a quick appointment for that weekend. That day came around and I got a call a couple hours before the appointment. The new masseuse had an emergency was wasn't going to be able to make it. This wasn't the norm and they were happy to offer additional changes to try and make up for the situation. It was really nice for them to offer the options that they did. They say this doesn't happen often and felt bad. Here is the normal massage breakdown. Warmed massage tables call my name on a cold Iowa evening. Darkened hallways start to set the mood. Electric candles line the floor to help guide you to where you need to be. Once you are in the locker room you can change into your robe and slippers. This is not required with every service they offer. You have your own locker which you set the lock. They have 2 little curtained off changing rooms. The wall hooks have broken over time, but if I can I just use the roomy bathroom to change. Once you have all your personal items locked away you can step into the lounging area. 4-5 different places to sit. Electric fireplace on the wall. Some books, gentle music, little water fountain. All the things to help you relax. They have warming neck wraps and hot water for tea. If you are early enough for your appointment, then take advantage and chill. When your time comes you get called back. My personal preference is one individual for body massages. I have to book months in advance to make sure I am getting him. I dont want to share, but its Eddy. He is amazing. He listens to me and remembers my preferences. After heavenly treatment you are escorted back to the lounge. You can hang out and decompress or you can head out. As of my last visit in Sept '24 they just updated the furniture in there. It is not really comfy as before. I have tried another service here, but prefer my monthly membership booking a massage each time. Read less
