Best! Massage! Ever!…read more My husband and I had an appointment and it had to be rescheduled due to an emergency with the massage therapist which was no worry and they were great about rescheduling when we were available. When we got there they'd given us an upgrade due to the "inconvenience" which I'd say it wasn't at all especially since everyone was so nice about it! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process and even brought us water afterward. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in town!

She has many years of experience and you can tell in the way she does the massage. I came in one time with a stiff neck that I couldn't move. I slept on it really wrong and was in an incredible amount of pain. She helped treat me and provided me so much relief. She is very accommodating and attentive to my needs and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. They offer a discount on Mondays for locals and also a monthly subscription plan. Getting consistent massages is key and I highly recommend seeing Alicia. Parking can be tricky on a busy day and the spa is downstairs from International Cafe. The spa is small but cozy and clean. They also have a red light sauna which was amazing.

I recently visited Skinphoria Aesthetics to try out the Density RF treatment and I was more than…read morehappy with the results immediately after! The treatment is meant to stimulate more collagen production and I did it on my face. Nurse Jazmin did my treatment and she was extremely knowledgeable, gentle and quick! She made sure to explain the process thoroughly and she always checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I've been to Korea before and have done ultherapy so I came into this treatment comparing the two. Density RF was much less painful. I'd say it was a 2/10 in terms of pain. After the treatment, my face looked more lifted and my smile lines weren't as prominent as before. It was a great experience, I will definitely be coming back to see Nurse Jaz and Skinphoria in general! Oh and another plus is you get a beautiful view on the Monterey Bay during your treatment

I didn't have a "negative" service at this salon but it was "mediocre" at best, especially for the…read morecost. This salon is easily $100-$125 more expensive just because of the area it's in, keep that in mind. Overall, I would give my hair a 6 out of 10 and my experience a 4 out of 10. I got a partial "balayage" and hair cut, and at this point I know that some salons don't do actual hair painting, it's basically sporadically placed color, and while the color itself is fine, I don't anticipate this growing out as well as it has other times I've gotten my hair done - I can tell because I've been getting my hair done for 20+ years at this point so that's a little unfortunate. But aside from this, I would have appreciated if she let me know she was charging me for more color - other salons haven't done this as often, but they do let me know when they do. Even with full "balayage" at other places, I haven't always been charged for more color so this was unexpected. Even if she just gave me a heads up though, I would have appreciated it. The haircut was very basic and simple even though I asked for long layers. The blow dry was also "okay" - I ended up going home and adding more volume into it myself. Most importantly though - the stylist was not engaging at all. I'm a new customer, she didn't ask anything about me. Made no effort to put in conversation with me. It is so unlike any experience I've had at a hair salon. I even asked her questions to get the ball rolling and there was barely anything back. 3-4 hours in a salon chair is a long time for such lack of conversation, it's very disappointing. Like I said - my experience wasn't "bad" or "horrible" but I am not going back and I would not recommend the salon.
