Well, fast forward into my 40s, I start to realize that I need a little more help in looking my best and start to see the value of getting them. Between working night shift, not getting enough sleep, and just everyday stress in general, it really starts to show on my skin and I don't quite bounce back the way I used to, so facials are a great way to help brighten my complexion. I was introduced to Glomour Medispa thanks to a yelpie event (because I can always count on Yelp to introduce me to some of the best experiences) and I was so impressed with the service and results of the most basic facial, that I decided to come back. Angela is great to work with, easy going, and listened to me about what my needs and goals were for my facial. (A big plus is that she's a fellow RN, so I know she REALLY understands the specific in the self-care department for people like me, lol). She helps but me at ease and explains every step of what we're doing throughout the process. Facials are a nice blend of relaxation, aromatherapy, and some "me-time" meditation when I'm letting the masks settle into my skin. I've getting facials semi-regularly since then. Nice little treat and you really see the benefits the next day. Sure, it's a luxury, but I've only got one face, so I may as well take care of it.

She also gave excellent, clear aftercare advice, detailing product usage and when to begin. What I appreciated most was her approach to a pre-pay package; it felt like a genuine recommendation to save money, not a pushy upsell. I ended up buying a skin treatment and upgraded to the package because it was truly a fantastic deal.

I arrived early for my appointment and she greeted me warmly and got me in right away. The space was clean, private, and had no weird smells (thank goodness). I used the restroom first and noticed there was no soap--mentioned it to her and she responded with genuine appreciation and took care of it. She gave me time to change and talked me through everything since it had been a while. The wax temperature was just right, and she used a method that didn't require stripping sheets, which was much more comfortable. What really helped? Jori's friendly conversation. I didn't feel like I was meeting her for the first time--she has a natural way of making you feel at ease. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. Her studio is super cute with fun, modern aesthetics--think faux grass walls, neon signs, and positive quotes. Love the vibe! I bought this appointment on Groupon for $28 (normally $53) and felt it was absolutely worth it. I tipped $20 via electronic payment--please don't forget to tip your waxologist, especially if you prepaid! I'm already planning to return in 4 weeks. As of today (May 27), I saw that the Groupon is still live--I'm grabbing two more. Highly recommend Jori!

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Urban Zen Bodywork I booked a massage a week in advance and was required to pre-pay and pre-tip. On the day of my appointment, just four hours before my scheduled time, I received a call from Urban Zen Bodywork asking to reschedule, I said "no I that will not work" and then they assured me I could come in as planned. However, just three minutes before I was about to arrive, I received another call from Urban Zen bodywork telling me my appointment was canceled due to a staff member quitting or being fired that day. The staff member on the phone mentioned I would receive a complimentary gift card for the inconvenience but did not mention a refund until I brought it up. They assured me I would get my refund, but then abruptly ended the call by saying, "I have a massage to do, have a nice day." Despite their promise, I never received my refund or the complementary gift card. I tried calling and even showed up in person to ask about my refund but no one answered the phone or the door. In the end, I had to contact my bank to process the refund, as Urban Zen Bodywork failed to fulfill their commitment. This experience was frustrating and unprofessional, and I would not recommend booking with them. read more

I cannot recommend this business highly enough. I have had 3 visits since I discovered Urban Zen, and every visit somehow is better than the last! I have worked with Cecelia, Elena, and Tammy. All gave me such a relaxing and healing experience with a customized treatment plan specifically for my needs. I have never worked with such knowledgeable therapists before. They truly know how to help the body heal! I sent my boss there, and a friend as well. They both had the same reviews. Looking forward to returning for treatments as much as possible! One of my favorite things about Urban Zen is the Buddha Lounge! You can select a 30 minute treatment on a specific area of the body, in these amazing lounge chairs they have. They even will serve you hot tea, and offer you add ons such as hot stone massage, foot soak, eye mask, essential oils, and much more! It is the best to fit into a busy day! read more

I went in for a massage to give my neck, shoulders, and lower back some relief after carrying my duty-belt and a vest for 50+hrs a week. Not only was Elena able to relieve that pain, I came out feeling much better than expected after she worked out some problems I didn't know I had. I've heard time and again that it's hard to find a LMT that really knows what they are doing so I'm thankful I found Elena. I have recommended her to many of my friends and family and will continue to do so. P.S. Her new store front is amazing! She now has a much larger workspace, a room for yoga/meditation, and an acupuncturist has a space in the same store front so all of your needs can be covered in one location! read more

I've been going to Elena for massage for the last few years and while it's not always a pain-free experience, I always walk out feeling 100x better than when I went in. I sit at a computer all day long and, based on the tightness in my neck and shoulders, it shows. Elena is amazingly skilled at working out those tight muscles. I usually have no idea how tight I am until I walk out at the end of the massage. Her new space is incredibly relaxing and therapeutic and I highly recommend everyone go to her! read more

I absolutely love LaVita massage!…read more I initially came to LaVita because I was given a Spa Finder gift card and they are accepted here. I did not have high hopes as most subscription based massage places have a lot of turnover and therapist that just seem like they want to get through the 50 minutes exuding the least amount of energy as possible. My massage therapist at LaVita was exactly the opposite. He asked about my trouble areas and gave me the best deep tissue massage I have ever received focusing on the knots in my back that were causing pain. Most 1 hour massages are a clinical hour "50 minutes". They give you 5 minutes to get ready and 5 minutes to get dressed. Some places take this to the next level, I've watched the clock and received 40 minutes in some cases.
