I booked my appointment in advance online and was seen at my scheduled time. The pedicure I received the other day was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot! It's all the little details like the temperature of the water, the paraffin application, gentleness of the filing and the magical leg/foot massage that give a 5 star rating. What you'll find here are high end polishes to choose from, expert application of polish, as little or as much chatting as you like and feel like a valued patron not being rushed.

I felt so comfortable when I walked in. I met my masseuse Lam, who brought me to my room. Another beautiful space! The spa music, electric fireplace, and pre-warmed table are so wonderful. The best part of this visit was Lam. I've had so much back pain lately, and she found each knot and ache and worked them over. I would say this massage is one of the best I have ever had. I floated out of the room! Lam is so friendly and professional. This will be the only place I go to whenever I come to Capitola. Thank you!

She recommended Vanessa and gave me her number and passed on my two blonde colors. I couldn't get in until Friday before my important weekend with Filoli Gardens. I was to demo watercolors for two days. Vanessa did my hair and she did a beautiful job EXCEPT she used the WRONG COLOR and I ended up with Ash/mousey brown hair! It made me look DEAD! I called her and she wanted me to come right down but I had NO extra time! I quickly put on a Frosting cap and lightened it in sections. Some parts are brassy so I washed it with purple shampoo to soften it. I used to frost for years. I paid Vanessa $174 including tip. Because "I" touched it she would not help me! If she put in the wrong combination she should stand up to it!

Most of the time she used no pressure and just grazed her hands over me, i dont actually know how someone could give a massage that felt so bad no only was it extremely light pressure somehow it was painful. She would be tugging and knocking and all sorts of things to compensate for the no pressure. It also felt like her hands were just going over my body no finger work or skill al. Also both me and my friend felt like the next day we felt worse than before our massage, back/neck pain wise like they used very improper technique The worst part: what completely took me out of spa mode. I tipped 20% and they demanded i tip more, it was very awkward and uncomfortable and i felt pressured to tip more even though we hated our massage.

I get massages pretty regularly (refuge, Monterey plaza etc), and this was one of the best I've had. Adrian had that perfect balance of pressure--strong enough to actually make a difference, but never crossing the line. He checked in a couple times without breaking the flow, and targeted the areas that have been tight. Easily a 10/10 and I'll definitely be booking with him again. As for the facilities, the staff were super welcoming and professional and everything was insanely clean/well maintained. My wife had a massage at the same time and her experience was the same. It's great to have a place in Santa Cruz at this level as I'm over driving to Monterey/Carmel for an amazing massage.
