Got a pretty good Groupon for service here and decided to try. I have mixed feelings here so I'll…read moreshare the good and the bad. It was also my first time trying this particular type of well was treatment so I I have nothing to compare it to. I booked a 90minute float therapy session Good: Made a last minute appointment and was able to get in so I loved that. The front desk staff was nice when welcoming me. They also have a vending machine that sells THC beverages which was nice. They encouraged me to use the bathroom which was very clean and well stocked. Then essentially explained what to expect while in the room and pretty much left me alone. That was nice. The not so good: An even better experience would have been to offer robes before going into the float room or something to get guest more relaxed before going into the tank. Or maybe a glass of cold water. I understand wanting to control water intake but it gets pretty warm in the room and you get thirsty! There was no soap available and you are required to shower before getting into the tub. I didn't realize what was in the shower was shampoo and conditioner because they weren't labeled. They give you a thing to support your head while floating but I think providing goggles or some sort of eye protection would have been epic. Maybe someone more seasoned would have know to bring something but it was my first time. So of course I got salt in my eyes. Very uncomfortable. There was also no sort of lotion for after the session I did ask about it and was told they had a shipment delayed and so they didn't have any of the things you'd expect to be standard at a spa. While I understand. It would have been a good idea to include a care note or something to give a head up. That was disappointing In summary. I didn't have a bad time or a great time. It was just okay. The float therapy itself was good but I think the business missed the mark on the pre and post care for me.

He showed me to my room and let me know the heating pad on the table was on and to let me know it was too warm. Ha! I love japanese baths which are really hot. He started the massage and soon I was in that lulled sleep until you have to turn over. I hadn't realized how much stress I was carrying on my shoulders, next and lower back.

The decor, the pre-appt instructions on how to get there, the consultation before starting, it was all so thoughtful.

Many people massage with their hands but rare few massage with such kind attention and total focus on your comfort with every palpable stroke. I was told to speak up at any time to ask for more or less. This was a same day, online booking because I'm impulsive like that and it was the most pleasant surprise to have one of the best massages of my life. Thank you Tasha!!!!!!!!!

Parking - mainly metered spots. However, my confirmation email stated that after 5pm, you can park…read morein the small attached lot. Entrance - they're located on the second level. I didn't notice an elevator, but perhaps I just missed it. Once on that level they have several doors, but you enter the one with the opened door and the little sign out front. Arrival - I arrived early, just in case there were intake forms or I needed to change beforehand. However, they don't have a changing room or lockers. Instead, you change in your service room, with your items remaining there. Service - I booked a 1hr Deep Tissue Massage with Elsa, which was GREAT! The service started with burning something that smelled like Paolo Santo. The areas of pain welcomed the deep pressure, for other areas of my body it was too much. So I told her and she adjusted accordingly. There was music playing, which was a bit loud. However, it was soothing, with no odd pitches or tones so I didn't mind. What I did mind was the distractions from outside the room. Sadly, it was right by the entrance door (for that space) and the walls in the room don't go all the way up. Therefore, sounds of the heavy door opening and closing, people talking, squeaky floors as they walked by filled the air as I tried to immerse into the experience. During the service she did use some warm towels on me, and ended with the paolo santo (or perhaps it was sage) again. Departing- My massage therapist told me to meet her outside after I changed. I thought she meant outside of the service room so hung out in that lounge for a while, before deciding to go look for her, in the main lobby area. That's where I found and she checked me out. This made me wonder if there's a designated front desk/ guest service staff member. Anyway, while checking me out she also gave me a cup of water, her card, a promo card, Biscoff cookies and a mint. There were retail products there as well as in the previous room, but I didn't get a chance to really look before heading out. Anyway, based on my experience with Elsa, I would recommend and return.

I've visited this salon a few times, but none of the sessions left me fully satisfied. Despite…read morehaving different massage therapists, the overall feeling was the same -- a lack of professional depth and attentiveness to the client's needs. Key takeaways: * Inconsistent technique -- sometimes too soft, other times abrupt pressure on sore areas * Lack of energy and genuine care during the session * Odd personal remarks from the therapist that made me uncomfortable For a place with this pricing, I expected a higher level of service. Maybe others have had better luck -- my sister, for one, absolutely loves this place -- but my experience hasn't convinced me to return just yet. Still, I hope to stop by again next time I'm in town and see some improvements.

First of all.....found Studio Thre3e through Yelp! So thanks to those reviewers...you convinced me…read moreto call right away! I was in dire pain and was desperate to find something nearby and available. I've gone to multiple other spas/massage studios with either difficulty in short notice booking, or somewhat of a disappointed feeling. Once I called, Nena was able to get me in within an hour. God Bless her. I was practically immobile by the time I got to her studio. I pulled by upper back out and needed help with the tension/pain ASAP. Not only was Nena very accommodating with getting me in on short notice, but she truly took care of my 'injury' and didn't let time affect the massage. I had no idea how long I was there, I believe over 1 1/2 ....and by the time I left, I was able to walk without pain and far more relaxed then when I 'shuffled' in. Studio Thr3e is so cozy, inviting and relaxing. The design and all the collectibles work perfectly for the space. Not only is she running her own business, but she's trying to help those who need massage therapy and can't afford the traditional spa high-end prices. I truly respect her business model. The studio is located in the Foundry building behind the barber shop right in the heart of NE next to the Ritz Theater...great location, and convenient with no meters on the street! I made it a promise to myself in 2012 to continue with massage therapy and will ONLY go to Studio Thr3e from now on.

I don't often treat myself to massages, but hope to more often now that I've found Studio Thr3e and Nena. I visited here on one of out recent brutally cold winter days, and the moment I stepped inside, I felt more relaxed. The space is warm and cozy, with lots of velvety drapes and dark furniture. Nena mentioned a lot of folks will do a group outing, and people are welcome to hang out in the space with drinks and food while they're waiting for their turn. There's a courtyard and outdoor area too for warmer weather. My 75 minute massage was very relaxing. She made sure to check if the pressure was right, focused on the tense areas of my body, and avoided areas that I didn't want to be worked on. I was on time for my appointment, but what with filling out paperwork since it was my first visit, we started a little late. Nena mentioned this to me and asked if it was all right if she kept me longer, so I could have the full 75 minutes. This was awesome, since I've been to other places where I haven't received the full time (even if it was a late start due to the massage therapist's schedule). Other things I appreciated - she asked how to pronounce my name (the one I go by is hard to pronounce, and many people don't even bother to ask) and made sure she got it right. The playlist was a lot of peaceful Sigur Ros tracks, which was lovely. Last of all, notice the attention to detail here, from the little bowl of mints in the waiting area to the cute dark glass goblets that perfectly match the decor of the place. Cannot wait to return!

I was fully exposed for most of the massage, with minimal attempt to keep my groin covered. I'm convinced that he rubbed his genitals on my hand at one point, because there was some back and forth rubbing on my hand that did not feel accidental while he breathed super heavy. The massage itself was not a modality I have ever had before; there was no stroking but instead just pressing and holding for long periods of time which did not do much to relax me or loosen up my tight muscles. I definitely won't be back. My massage was a couple months ago and I delayed in writing this review because I convinced myself it was all in my head, but after reading similar reviews I feel it's important to give my experience a voice so other woman are aware of potential risks.

Needless to say he did not, and I am now filing a dispute charge against him with my credit card company. Do NOT come here, it is not worth your time, money, or stress. Never again.
