Chris is great! I've been seeing her for facials for many years. She also sees my teen son who…read moreequally adores her. My skin is always left feeling rejuvenated and calm after her treatments. My son's pores "can beathe". She's thorough w extractions, but she has really nice technique with her facials so you leave feeling quite relaxed. More recently, she got me started with pilates. She also teaches at her pilates studio, which is an extension of the spa a couple blocks away. Her new studio is airy, bright, spacious, has a beautiful mural and very nice brand new reformers. I had never done pilates or used a reformer, but Chris has been patient and taught me a lot. Chris's classes are very popular, but other instructors are great as well. Charlie has a jumpboard class that's really fun. You can get tougher workouts with Charmagne and Jenn.

NOFU ? YES PLEASE !!!…read more WHO‍ KNEW ? I am SO grateful for the opportunity to attend the NoFu Skin Care Studio, 2-3 times a week for a few months now. I mainly go for the Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna treatments but have also experienced Reiki and several skin care products there as well. I am pleased above and beyond my expectations with the benefits I am experiencing from the two therapies and products, I have received from NoFu Skin Care Studio. I feel the benefits on many different levels of my health which is a welcomed surprise. With such a small commitment of routine time each week my complexion has cleared up, my skin is way more hydrated, supple, and glowing, the brown spots on the top of my hands have reduced immensely, my circulation is way better in all of my extremities, I feel great when I leave NoFu and notice that I have a little extra spring in my step that lasts throughout the week... yeah, I feel lighter, happier, and notice that I'm smiling more :) The services and products seem reasonably priced from what I've seen around, especially considering the results I've been experiencing. Sometimes it's been difficult to schedule but I feel empathy towards all people living in the world today and doing the very best they can given their very unique set of complex circumstances, within our shared reality. Sooo when I remain flexible, don't judge, and instead TRUST that it will all work out... it does And usually in an even better way for both of us!!! THANK YOU SUSAN, for all that you are authentically holding and healing in your own life and then show up still, with more to give back in service to your community :)

I'm in love with NoFu's infrared sauna so much that I have a standing weekly session. It's the…read morehighlight of my week, and something I look forward to. The room is clean, you get to choose from a wide variety of infrared lights, and the temperature is just right, roughly 140 degrees. Susan is so pleasant and even gave me a tip about her Paypal deal so I can enjoy my weekly sessions without breaking the bank. I HIGHLY recommend incorporating infrared sauna in your self-care routine. It's something I was unsure of doing because of the heat, but I've found the heat to be surprisingly enjoyable, like people who like hot yoga. Plus, I've started incorporating breath work during my sauna sessions and it's been a transformative experience.

I truly can't recommend her enough!

Came back again after nearly 2 years, first time helped by Vivian and instantly fell in love with…read moreher hands! Love the ambience, the soft relaxing mellow music, her soft touch was in synch with the flow of music therefore it was truly relaxing! What I connected with Vivian most was that she could communicate in Cantonese when majority of the spas I've been to staffs could only converse in Mandarin, but aside from that Vivian's english was also great and not very limited at all. She personally said she takes pride in doing a great job so she could have more returning customers! I'll definitely be coming back! As for her massage, she touched my soul when she massaged my head, neck and face, she was able to tell my neck needed to be loosened up, sounds like a massage guru there! She gave my hips and feet a great stretch too! Towards the end she pointed out there's still 8 mins left out of the hour, anywhere that still needs work on? I simply said "idk" and she decided to massage my head and face once more because she knew she hit gold! Didn't missed any limbs and went the full hour! Just take my money again! Thanks again Vivian!

When I walked in, I was greeted by Brianna, who was incredibly sweet, patient, and kind. I've been to places in the past where I felt rushed to fill out the intake form so my service could get started, so it was really nice not to have that experience here. I was offered water and tea when I arrived, and Brianna explained the services to me very clearly before pairing me with the wonderful Jay as my massage therapist. Jay was very calm and thorough when explaining the massage and asking what I wanted to focus on. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly takes her work seriously. This was one of THE BEST massages I've ever had! Thank you, Brianna and Jay, for such a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be visiting again soon!

The specialists here really try to provide you with the best experience possible. They have a variety of people to choose from, and if you don't know who you'd like, they will have recommendations. I highly suggest that when you call into the hot line to ask the customer care to directly transfer you to the store. The staff members at the store is very professional and courteous to meet your needs with empathy and compassion. Time after time, I cannot tell you how much the staff personally takes an interest in my well-being from the moment I walk through those doors, especially the assistant manager (Miranda) and her team. My go to masseuses is Christian. Christian is trained in a variety of pressure and really pays attention to the reaction of your body. Christian's personality is so bubbly that it just makes you feel welcome every time he greets me. Janelle is fantastic with facials, too. She studied as a beautician and checks in on you every step to make sure none of the beauty products being used irritates your skin or you. She's also gentle with your needs and pays attention to the sensitivity of your skin, looking for any reaction if there is any. It's been a great pleasure being their customer, and I look forward to my next booking with them.

I'd just recommend standing firm on your budget and what you're comfortable spending. Overall, I still highly recommend her services!
