We did to want to do the nude portion of the spa. We spent four hours at King Spa. WE checked out all the rooms plus the ICE room. It was so relaxing and I did fall asleep a few times. Upstairs they have the Meditation rooms . Those rooms are the Oxygenated room and an infra red room. On the first floor they have a theater room, a salt room, a gold room, a sun room, a charcoal room, other rooms and a cafeteria area. You can also pay for a massage. Most of the massages were 60 minutes for 120$. I will definitely go back and take my husband there on a date. Love it!

When we went on a weekday night, it wasn't crowded, so it was good. The rooms are interesting and generally relaxing. The spa services are expensive. Like the foot reflexology is more than double the places I've been. My friend did really enjoy her scrub, so if you get a service, they are good. Look, I think it's important to pay people a good wage and I value spa services, but these just seemed high.

The cozy slippers were a nice touch! My massage therapist took the time to ask about my concerns (stiff shoulders and neck) and checked in throughout to make sure the pressure was right. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, dim lighting, peaceful music, and even a heated table. By the end, I sincerely felt so much better. She also showed me a few simple stretches I can do at home, which I really appreciated. Thank you, Laura! I'll definitely be back and am excited to try more of their services.

I usually get a massage for at least an hour and a half or two hours cause I'm in that much pain. The masseuse was Susanna. She was massaging my ankles and says 'you're lower back is not good' I said 'Yes! that's true!' After the foot massage in the common massage area, I went into a private room for a full body massage with Susanna. She identified and targeted every painful spot and while the pressure of the massage was painful in the beginning... as she continued- the pain subsided and I felt rejuvenated. I walked out feeling the most normal I have felt in about 2 years. I had a bounce in my step and NO PAIN! I cried, Susanna hugged me.. I could walk down the stairs like a normal person.. not feeling like a debilitated elderly person. I still feel great today!! Highly recommend this place and especially Susanna. Price was super reasonable for an hour and a half.. this is my new massage place 100%!!!

Parking can be tricky especially on school days as they are right by an elementary school. Otherwise definitely recommend!

Service and ambiance is okay My review is regarding the…read moremembership --- deceiving and misleading information. To avoid five-year federal expiration prohibition on gift cards, they create this membership and my service apparently expired after 12 months if I stopped continuing paying monthly fee. It was a treat from my husband after postpartum when he book the reservation. Not knowing fully what I signed up for while I was busy filling out these paperwork for new client and body worksheet. Receptionist pursuit to sale these memberships saving --- where I definitely remember her stating you can pause it anytime - the service will not expire and will stay on the account. Knowing the service will stay on the account, I signed up for this membership. I'm a busy mother working from home full time, breastfeeding, and caring for my child thus no time to treat myself so I pause my membership after 3 months. Now that I came back to the business because I'm almost due again in June to treat myself. The receptionist not only denied of my credit but print out a statement (highlighted for me to see) -- that should've been highlighted to begin with for clients -- these service will expire after 12 months. This is such a shame for a business to do this especially when it's a treat for someone to do these services and it wasn't like I'm asking it for free. These are services I paid in advance and it was misleading to not inform your receptionist to emphasize on the terms instead of making a sale that's it's never expire and will remain on the account. I had a peace of mind signing up for the membership knowing I can use it anytime and knowing my right. I not only walk away from the business feeling unappreciated and cheated but also upset by the way it was informed back to me why the service expired by throwing a printout and highlighted the terms and conditions. Obviously, I didn't have time to read these terms and conditions when you get rushed into a massage session with a bunch of new client paperwork to fill out where your needs to be focus on instead I trust the words of a receptionist when they made sale of the membership. At the end of the day, what I want was services I already paid and it's wrong for business to find these loopholes to not obligated to the law.

Whenever we have someone in town, we book a massage. It's a win-win and everyone looks forward to it. I wish I had their picture post massage when they've transcended for the first time haha. Anyway, Kevin and staff are always warm, professional, and welcoming. We've had Erika and Wendy the last two times and will be requesting them by name. No doubt everyone does a great a gob. We book the couples massage typically and it runs about $105 for 90 minutes. Sometimes there are coupons, but either way, you can't beat that deal. Especially since they are so receptive to feedback and adjusting. This is also a mix of Thai and traditional- our favorite style of massage.

My first experience was okay, so I decided to give it another try. The masseuse was kind; however, I was uncomfortable with the amount of pressure used. She pushed directly on my spine/backbone, which I have never experienced at any other massage place. I had to ask her not to massage that area. She also massaged my neck very aggressively. I asked her to use lighter pressure multiple times (at least three times for different areas of my body). In some areas, the pressure then became too light, but overall the pressure felt inconsistent. I regularly get massages, including deep tissue massages, and have tried many different places, so this experience felt unusual to me. It has been almost a week, and I am still feeling sore. I was also told that the boss instructed her to massage me strongly, which was not something I requested. Unfortunately, instead of feeling relaxed, I left feeling uncomfortable. While the staff were kind, this experience was not a good fit for me, and I don't think I will be returning.

Pandemic hit and then a need for one went on hold. Unaware that females with blonde hair don't get waxed, according to a family member who laughed when I asked where she goes, I was on my own. I searched near me, and found Cathie's business in the same storefront as a salon, deVine. I sent and email and didn't hear back, so I called, lvm, and she returned my call. Happy to get scheduled before a vacation, I went in two days later. I was a bit confused when I walked into deVine. But hey, I am a novice to other waxing experiences. They called up Cathie, and she led me to the back room. I simple clean, room. It was filled with tubes or lotions and I recognized the labels. She asked me to "get ready" then lay on a table, facing the tubes on the shelf. I was a bit put off without any sheet, but again, this was not Bliss spa. Long story short, Cathie was easy to talk to and I was distracted from her work on me. I felt no pain. And maybe it was the easy conversation and feeling like she knew what to do, after she asked for my opinion of what to take off. I would definitely go back to her. The price was absolutely fair, and I hope I tipped well enough. Do get your bikini waxed by her. While the back room is a bit rough around the edges, it is very clean, and she tells me she does lots of facials. Who knows, maybe when I get back from my vacation I'll be back for one of her other many services. She was greets to let me know, that face products that list sunscreen have such a minimal amount in them, and suggested a product from a store, for me to bring. Lastly, she doesn't push her facial products but she can order them if someone asks. I will be getting her sunscreen recommendation when I return and would go back for another waxing as she did a great job!
