I met Desmond at Yuan Spa for the first time today, and I had such a great experience…read more Desmond is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain what might be causing my discomfort and how I can prevent it from happening again. I really appreciated all of his advice. His massage technique was excellent. He focused on exactly the areas that needed attention, and I left feeling so much more relaxed. It truly felt like he understood my concerns and knew how to address them. On top of that, Desmond is such a sweet and caring person. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session and genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend Desmond to anyone looking for an outstanding massage therapist. I'll definitely be booking with him again!

Booked a massage and hydrotherapy, pretty easy to book online or call in (required for a couples…read moremassage). Easily accessible, few blocks away from Bellevue Square and even walkable from the new 2 line link. Parking is available in their small garage but only for 3 hours (validated online with a code Yuan Spa provides). Otherwise there's street parking. Arriving early is a plus to use the washroom or relax in their lounge area with snacks (wasabi peas, banana chips, and honey pretzel sticks) and hot tea. Shoutout to Jessica and Emma for our massages. They were extremely comforting and the hour flew by insanely quick. Hydrotherapy is self guided between a hot pool, cool pool, steam room, and dry sauna. All are soothing but many gyms have these as well, so I'm torn whether it's worth it. However, definitely a nice supplement to other services here in the same location, which is a fair argument. One thing I hate is the check out process. After checking out, they'll ask if "you'd like to add a gratuity" which I always feel is just a darker practice in the social moment. A good massage deserves a tip for quality service, but hydrotherapy feels like an interesting gray area. However, it's easier to just give a percentage on the total amount. On the flip side, I love how they also provide up to 30 minutes buffer after hydrotherapy (maybe also other services, but we ended on hydro) to shower and leave. Passing that half hour mark would result in a charge rounded up to the next hour.

The infrared saunas here are hot but a nice way to relax and detox!…read more I received a gift card to try this place out from an acquaintance, so decided to swing by. We booked an infrared sauna session (sweat with a friend) for the evening. This location is tucked away in a small strip mall and once you arrive, you are greeted, sign a form, and remove your shoes before entering the main area. The sauna space was nicely organized. There are sauna booths that are separated and have a little bit of space diretly in front of the sauna entrance covered by a curtain that allows you to undress and store your belongings. In our space, we had a timer, a call button for the front desk, a mini fridge with cold hand towels, a sign with all the different color options for the chromotherapy, and a small bench/basket for your belongings. As someone who does not regularly go to saunas, I had to take several breaks throughout the 45-minute session, but it definitely did its job and had me sweating! We enjoyed being able to adjust the colors for the chromotherapy as well. After our session, we were able to rinse off in the shower, and there is a sand room in the back where they set up some non-caffeinated tea for you to decompress. I enjoyed this part because the sand was so smooth and soft, and they do their best to create a calm ambience in the room even if you are just looking at a mural of the ocean. Some downsides for me personally: I felt the space was a bit small and cramped. Each sauna and other offered services are in small box-like rooms that aren't full rooms (the walls do not reach the ceiling). There was only one shower room, and the sand room was a bit tight (only 4 seats). I'd be curious to see if the other locations have a similar or different layout. Additionally, because the walls of the rooms do not reach the ceiling, nothing is soundproof. You can still hear some noise from other folks while in your sauna and are encouraged to keep noise to a minimum to maintain a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Lastly, I believe there is supposed to be a way to connect a bluetooth device in your sauna as advertised on the website, but we couldn't really figure out and weren't sure if it was a good idea to bring any devices in as it was super hot. That said, it wasn't something we absolutely needed so we just decided to hop in and enjoy the sweat. We enjoyed our infrared sauna and would recommend it if it is something you are looking to do regularly. It looked like they had several different membership options that give you access to different services each month.

Instead of cancelling the appointment, they double billed be for almost $300 that they can adjust due to their stupid policy. Ananya spa is an example of how dystopian Seattle is with their 20 percent gratuity on all services and a cancellation/ refund policy that is there to hurt their customers. I hate this place and I hope they are forced to close someday The employees are catty women that should have no business in wellness and I hope this business never gets to scam other people in the same way that it ruined my birthday

I rarely leave reviews like this, but our experience at Truce was disappointing enough that I feel…read moreprospective guests should know what they are actually booking. First, calling this a "spa" feels generous. We had planned a girls' spa day, and one of the amenities we were particularly looking forward to was the red light therapy that Truce advertises. When we arrived, we learned that the red light equipment had been recalled and was unavailable. No one had contacted us ahead of time to let us know. When I pointed out that guests should have been notified before their appointments so they could decide whether they still wanted to come, the response was essentially, "You never told us you wanted to use the red light." That is an extraordinary response when it is an advertised amenity of the facility. Guests should not have to individually announce in advance which advertised spa amenities they might like to use in order to be informed that those amenities are unavailable. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Approximately three hours before my appointment, I called because I was dealing with a medical emergency and could no longer attend. I understood that Truce has a cancellation policy and that I might still be charged. What I did not expect was for them to make one of my friends pay my $160 massage fee -- despite having my credit card on file. Their explanation was that once I canceled, my card had somehow been removed or canceled from the appointment. If you are going to enforce a full-price cancellation charge, then charge the card the guest provided. Requiring another member of the party to pay someone else's $160 bill was unnecessary, embarrassing, and incredibly poor customer service. I have since contacted the manager twice, asking for something very simple: credit my friend's card for the charge and allow me to pay the $160 myself using my own credit card. Both attempts have gone unanswered. That is perhaps the most disappointing part. Mistakes and poor decisions happen. Good customer service is demonstrated by how a business responds when given an opportunity to correct them. In this case, management has had two opportunities to resolve a very straightforward issue and has simply chosen not to respond. The experience for the friends who did attend wasn't exactly luxurious either. The "relaxation room" apparently has no door, no snacks, no magazines or other touches one would normally associate with a higher-end spa -- just tea. Even worse, conversations from the front desk carried directly into the room, including a loud personal phone conversation that was decidedly not relaxing or professional. During the massage itself, loud bass/electronic music from the neighboring venue could be heard strongly enough to compete with the spa music. For a facility located in a high-end hotel in downtown Bellevue, the entire experience was surprisingly amateurish. A true spa experience is about more than providing a massage. It is the environment, amenities, professionalism, communication, hospitality, and attention to detail surrounding the treatment. Truce missed the mark on nearly every one of those things. We expected a relaxing girls' spa day. What we received was an unavailable advertised amenity with no advance notice, an astonishing response when we questioned that lack of notice, questionable cancellation handling, management that has ignored two attempts to resolve the resulting billing issue, a decidedly un-relaxing environment, and a level of service nowhere near what the location and pricing suggest. There are too many excellent spas in the Seattle/Bellevue area to justify paying premium prices for this experience.

I asked for extra firm pressure before and during the massage, but we never really quite got there. No problem, though, because I was super relaxed and almost fell asleep.
