I will start off by saying that I am in town visiting my in-laws for the holidays and my husband…read morebought me a 30 minute facial and a 30 minute massage. I live in a small mountain town in Wyoming so, arriving first thing on 12/26 as the first customer to a sparsely occupied business building was something notable. As a forensic nurse I take in my surroundings like a hawk and am unable to fully relax in vulnerable and new settings. The inside waiting area was clean and inviting, with gentle music and trickling water effects. After a thorough check-in questionnaire we started off with the facial. I am absolutely pleased with the results. I was comfortable, warm, and honestly my skin has not looked this good in years! For this I WOULD give them But..... Then I flipped over and we began the massage. I opened my eyes and noticed the masseuse was wearing dusty gray-blue shoes. There was an obvious change in the ambient noise: hallway noise became louder, temperature shift and the door opened. I opened my eyes once again and to my surprise there were BLACK shoes underneath the bed! I immediately was on edge as I was naked, face down, and had just gotten the old switch-a-roo of the masseuse and let's be honest- America- where for the most part crazy shit can happen at any minute. Now, why didn't I pop up and demand to know what was going on you might ask? Because the pressure and technique was actually a lot better than the individual originally massaging me. ‍ Another 15 minutes went by and once again there was a change in the environment and when I opened my eyes, what would appear but the original dusty gray-blue sneakers from before. I'd love to give this place a better rating but why in the world would two different people massage me and why wouldn't they just tell me beforehand??? So, if you go here, maybe take a moment to ask who's doing what and if there will be any new people coming in halfway through the services.

Awesome Massage!…read more $39 for a full one hour massage (similiar to massage envy) + tip. Yes, they ask you if you would like to join the membership. Similiar to a gym membership, you pay monthly and you get one massage a month at a reduced price. I personally think it's a great idea, this way it FORCES you to take a break monthly! I had a FANTASTIC MASSAGE, with lavender oil and great music. Not too cold, not too hot. My massage therapist was very nice, professional and asked me throughout if I would like more/less pressure. I will be back!

Communication with the staff is difficult, but the service works well for pain relief, especially if you are a big guy who always needs a therapist to press harder. This place is also affordable, at a little more than $1 per minute. I did the 40-minute table massage and felt better (albeit a little sore) walking out than I did going in. But if you're looking for the type of relaxing, calming, carefully-designed and gently-executed massage you might get at a luxury resort or higher price point, look somewhere else!
