This is a beautiful serene place. The staff were very friendly. I booked my sister and I to a relaxing massage ( separate rooms). This was her first massage and she said Christine was amazing. I had Stephanie who was awesome. We loved the relaxation room after the massage. This was one of the best massages of many I have had previously.

The relax room where you can have a cup of hot tea. Included in your massage service.

I've been fortunate enough to have had quite a few massages. Overall, this is the best experience I've had. It began with me being 35 minutes early ( my mistake ) . I'm so glad I was because the lobby is incredibly relaxing. There are tons of all natural products to sample and enjoy and the Receptionist Haley is absolutely delightful and kind. Somebody knew what they were doing when they hired her because her presence alone is very calming. She actually invited me to feel free to take a nap and offered me cold drinks . I was too busy enjoying the products and the adult coloring books or I might have. I then went on to an hour massage with Brittany. I requested the 60 minute "Relax" and I added a 15 minute scalp massage. Brittany is also a very calming presence and has some intuitive magic in her hands. The hot towels and stones were amazing and I had so many toxins being released, she give me eucalyptus towels to clear my sinuses. THIS is exactly what a good massage does! Although Britney asked me questions initially to determine what exactly I wanted, she never once intruded on my serenity by attempting to make small talk. I've had so many experiences that were pretty much ruined by Therapist believing someone on the table really wants to chitchat. After an excellent massage, Brittany offered to make me hot tea! A first! Next was another first. She led me into a beautifully serene room with a fireplace, chunky blankets, candles and soft music where she told me to stay as long as I like and feel free to nap or just relax. As a person who actually dreads the Summer all year, I was absolutely thrilled to be in this Winter- like escape. A sickening 97° outside and a cozy 69 inside. Sheer heaven . I was so relaxed I was finally ready to leave after about a two and a half hour total stay, being given a 15% retail discount because it was my birthday and a lovely free gift of my choice. I chose an all natural fluffy hand cream with a beautiful scent. My experience was perfect and at a price point lower than most my 45 minute massages which only included a bottle of water and often being rushed out. I highly encourage everyone to add the extra 15 minute scald massage at a minimal cost. $10 I think. I absolutely plan on returning and should I need a gift certificate for a special person, THIS is the place. What a nice 56th Birthday treat.

Got a signature facial done with Abbagail and this time it was amazing. They provided clear…read moreguidance on where to meet my facialist after changing and my service started smoothly. Abbagail was awesome asking my allergies, and explained every time when a product will be applied to my face, the potential effect such as temporary tingling, and offered options based on my needs. My shoulder and hand treatment was also fabulous. After my facial was finished, she immediately handed me bottled water. My face is so glowing according to my mom afterwards. The duration is as described. Last time there was an error with the third party booking app indicating the wrong duration. This time all resolved and I appreciate the communication and their willingness to address the concerns and make customers happy with their experience here.

First off let me say the only reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is because of the lack of customer…read moreservice from the owner who was running the front desk. I was not greeted when I came in (yes, she was with someone but she didn't even make eye contact with me, nod or acknowledge me in any way). She was very friendly with the girl she was helping but when she went to help me she seemed really cold. No smile, no "how's your day", nothing. It was the same way when I left. She didn't ask me how my service was or invite me back or to re-book. I'm hoping she was just having an off day. That said, my pedicure was absolutely wonderful! My nail tech explained all the services they offer, she did a very relaxed, caring and beautiful pedicure and it's holding up incredibly well. The nail tech was friendly and so sweet. She made me feel like I was getting a pedicure from a friend, not a new stranger. That said, she didn't overdo the conversation. It didn't feel forced or sales-y. We had a great conversation and I will definitely be booking all of my pedicures with her from now on. The price was incredibly reasonable too. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive for me. I've already scheduled a facial to try their facial services out and look forward to that. The young woman who did my pedicure also does facials (but unfortunately her schedule didn't work with mine the day I needed it to). I'm hoping I find a second rock star at this place. If the owner would have been more welcoming and grateful for me as a new customer this would have been a perfect 5 star review. Looking forward to coming back next week!
