Wolf Mountain Day Spa gave me an experience I didn't know I needed…read more My boyfriend gifted me an acupuncture session, and it turned out to be one of the most grounding, uplifting experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the space felt calming and safe--like a place where healing is truly possible. The treatment itself was so hands-on and informative. My practitioner didn't just treat symptoms--they really took the time to explain everything, listen deeply, and guide me through the process. I left feeling lighter, clearer... even emotional. I actually cried, not from pain, but from the release. It was powerful. This isn't just a spa--it's a sanctuary. I can't wait to go back and continue this journey. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to reconnect with their body, mind, and spirit.

I had a pampering deep tissue massage experience that combines the therapeutic pressure of deep tissue work with relaxing, spa-like comfort. The massage usually began in a calm setting with soft music, warm lighting, aromatherapy scents, heated towels, a warm massage table. Darby used firm, slow strokes and focused pressure to work into deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This helps release chronic tension, tight knots, stiffness, and stress buildup--especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. After the session, I felt completely melted into relaxation. Awesome feeling! Book a session w her right now and u will not regret it. And ...... u r very welcome!!!!

Cooling off options are a gorgeous outdoor shower or just resting on the seat outside. No frills, just good vibes. Vela provides a basket for your personal items, towel, and optional sandals. I didn't see lockers. I didn't have a massage but maybe one day. I would definitely come back for a little sauna-ing! Price: $30/1hr - they want you to complete showering and dressing within the hour time slot.

Vela offers numerous services, including two types of saunas, which can be used as a standalone or add-on feature. The vibe was light and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and attentive. Even the clients were friendly and eager to recommend the services while I waited. I was pleased with both services. The only thing that keeps me from awarding five stars is the need to go up and down stairs to the treatment rooms. As someone with osteoporosis stairs can be a challenge and took some of the relaxation out of my experience. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Vela.

I have very fine hair, and Gillian used a razor texturizing technique on it that completely…read moredestroyed the shape and integrity of my haircut. It looked okay when styled in the salon, but once I got home it was obvious how uneven, awkward, choppy, and over-thinned one side had become. My hair no longer falls naturally or smoothly, and the ends now look frayed and damaged rather than cleanly cut. I have honestly never been this dissatisfied with a haircut before. I ended up having to go to another stylist to try to fix it, and even they told me there's only so much that can be corrected right now without taking off even more length. I was advised not to cut my hair again for several months so it can grow back enough density to reshape properly. I also think clients should be clearly warned before razor cutting or aggressive texturizing techniques are used, especially on very fine hair, since many people may not realize how dramatically it can change the texture and density of the cut. If you have very fine hair, I would strongly recommend being extremely cautious about razor cutting or aggressive texturizing techniques.

I am a simple lady with simple needs and usually stylists try to talk me into more than I want. But Maddy compassionately and professionally helped me achieve the look and hair treatment I was dreaming of. The salon is cute and classy with that steampunk meets mountain festival meets playful art vibe that Nevada City is known for. They have bubbly water! You must go see the bathroom theme! Unless you hate Ryan Gosling- then do not go in the bathroom. I can't wait to book with Maddy again.
