    Nails

    This place was close to my hotel so I wanted to try it, I got dip and my mom got regular, my nails are so pretty and strong and the products they used were amazing quality. The place was also very cute and had a nice vibe. For the nail that I got the price was good (70$) overall I would recommend!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nate and Cecelia took great care of us. So kind and treated us like we were family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked in on a whim and they took us in with open arms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great conversation and a wonderful vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was peel packed sanitized. Bagged the spa foot bath for sanitary purposes. Felt safe and clean. $60 for the gel pedicure. Worth every penny.

    I initially called to get a full set + eye brow wax. Made an appt and showed up 15 min later, per their request. An acrylic overlay was 1.5 hours, which I felt like was a bit much. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I eventually had to tell the lady, I was on a time constraint and needed her to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I spent $75, affordable sure. Not even 24 hrs later, 1 nail chipped.. 2 days later, 3 chipped. Went back to get it fixed.. not even a week later, I've gone back once, and have 3 more chipping nails. It's unfortunate because they're one of the few in the downtown area, but unless you have all the time in the world to keep going back to get it fixed, I would not recommend it. Save your money and time and go elsewhere. Oh, and never got my eyebrows done because it was almost 2 hrs to get an acrylic overlay.

    The regular mani ($25) was alright. Could be better

    Mediocre mani pedi spot in downtown. I mean I can't really ask for too much, I was in town for a wedding, didn't think Saturday mornings would be busy for all nail salons that weekend. I called like a handful of spots with high ratings and reviews and they were all too busy to take 2 walk-ins. Good thing that this place has opening for a last min walk-in. Although the place was rated 4 stars, there was nobody but my friend and I in the store. Maybe it's just nobody goes to downtown on a late Saturday morning, since PDX doesn't seem to open up until late on weekends. We got the basic spa mani/pedi. I know I have short nails this round, but nobody asked what shaped I want my nails or if I wanted to trim or just file them down. The massage was so gentle, the guy who did my mani/pedi sped through the massage so much, he was ready to paint my nails while my friend was just getting her massage started. However, their massage chairs are nice, even the seats had the glute squeeze. Probably too much, because the tech turned it off even before he started painting my nails. I don't know what to say, the paint job was just okay for the price I paid. My pedicure don't look smooth, the edges were peeling. Within a day, my manicure already started chipping. I'm just out at a wedding, not even doing anything wild. I think my own paint job can last longer than theirs.

    I love this salon! The staff was friendly and my nail tech Cecilia took her time doing my nails. Very happy with my nails!

    Cute and cozy salon. I should have done more research to find out who does the nail art and who works ok natural nails. We booked an appt for two but upon arrival we learned they could not do us simultaneously. Fortunately I hadn't book dinner reservations. One tech was friendly and amazing while another did not take as much care with my natural nails. The nail polish selections needed updating. There were no beverages offered. The massage chairs were fun. If you are headed this way pack your patience and clear your schedule. Parking was a pain, leave time for that as well.

    Chipping paint

    Went and got our nails done on Thursday of this week. The staff was WONDERFUL!! Very kind and extremely professional. However my nails are a different story. I asked for gel manicure and no way did I receive one. The paint on my nails is already chipping and peeling off. One of my toes was also missed completely. I work typing at a desk all day, so I don't use my nails often at all. Gel usually lasts me ~2 weeks. It's been 4 days. Also please be warned, prices on the website are not accurate. More expensive in store. We got the urbantopia deluxe manicure and urbantopia spa pedicure with gel. Should have totaled about $115. Somehow my total was $135 in-store.

    Gel manicure

    Walked in without an appointment for a gel manicure and they were able to get me in right away. Ceci was very friendly, did a great job, and I was in and out pretty quickly. My nails turned out exactly how I wanted them. Will definitely be back!

    Went in today for a massage with Terril. Upon walking in, I was warmly greeted by the front desk…read morestaff. They were friendly but not in that fake way that you see in a lot of the surface industry. I was offered a choice between tea and water and was given my paperwork to fill out. My facial with Terril was very relaxing. We went into the treatment room and discuss what my concerns were with my skin and what I was hoping to get out of my appointment. Terril was very attentive, asking questions along the way. One thing I really liked was that the table was heated because I've been having some issues with my back that make it uncomfortable to lay down so having that heated surface under my back made my appointment even more relaxing. My skin felt amazing when she was done, even though she had to do a few extractions. I was so pleased that I went ahead and scheduled an appointment for a few months out so that my skin will be able to recover from the upcoming summer months. I highly recommend checking out this wonderful little spa and I look forward to returning for my next facial.

Make sure you book ahead of time because this place gets really busy (for good reason!)

    A few years ago, I purchased a massage here for a pregnant family member, and because they had a…read morepositive experience, I decided to visit myself. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. I called specifically requesting a deep tissue massage, but was told the available therapist, Noel, did not offer that service. I was instead recommended a therapeutic massage with medium-to-firm pressure. Unfortunately, the pressure was very light and did not address any of the tension or knots I was hoping to work out. I regularly visit spas and have received Swedish massages that were significantly deeper. While Noel was pleasant, the massage simply did not meet my needs, and I left feeling unsatisfied. I was also surprised to learn at checkout that there was an additional charge to use the spa amenities. In my experience, amenities are typically included when booking a treatment. Had I known about the extra fee when I asked about amenities while booking, I could have made a more informed decision. The jacuzzi ended up being the best part of my visit, but I go to a spa primarily for the quality of the massage. Overall, I left feeling that the experience was not worth the cost, and I do not plan to return. I'm giving two stars because the front desk staff was friendly and the facility itself appeared clean and inviting.

    I'm definitely going back! Overall I had a very relaxing time and the staff was friendly. I went in…read morefor my first time for just an hour visit to enjoy the amenities. It's noon on a Thursday so I got the whole place to myself. The only things I would say needs improvement is none of the lockers had functioning or working keys/locks so I couldn't safely secure my personal items and I had some anxiety about leaving my items in the women's room unsecured. Another issue was the shower faucet took a few minutes to warm up and I wasn't warned about it so I fiddled with it so much at first that I just ended up taking a cold shower. It just would have been a good idea if they just told me how to turn on the faucet and to wait a few minutes for the warm water to kick in, when they gave me the tour. And the button for the body wash kept popping off. So just some minor things need updating. The steam room was fantastic tho! I love the mix of eucalyptus. It really helped my stuffy sinuses. The hot tub is amazing! I love how the seats kinda cradle your butt. I usually have a hard time in hot tubs cuz they push me off the seat. But not with this design! It's wonderfully made and I love the stars and candles. I didn't think it'd use the "cool plunge " but once I realized it wasn't cold it was much needed after over heating myself from the steam room and hot tub. I didn't think I would enjoy the UV room but I actually did! It was very relaxing. The hot tea and snacks are also a bonus. Just a very well done business idea and something I've been looking for. I think the price is more than reasonable for what you're getting. I'll be back! I did mention a couple of my concerns with the staff and it sounds like they do plan on getting new locks in the future so I really hope they live up to that because they have you sign a wavier that basically says they are not liable for stolen items. I have trust issues and have had things stolen out of lockers in my past so this is kind of a big concern of mine that I just hope they can fix quickly. Thanks again Santé spa! You have a new fan. I'm coming back with friends and or family next time!

I had read up about the place so I knew the locker rooms were coed, but I was still confused as to whether there were changing rooms or what was the proper etiquette.

The masseuses were amazing, no complaints there, but when we tried to tip and asked if 100% goes to the masseuse, they said 25% goes to the spa and 75% to the masseuse. I'm sorry, what?

The rest of the spa experience and atmosphere was lacking for me. The space was very small and felt crowded. The waiting area was very uncomfortable. It is a small bench right next to the check in desk and was not a relaxing place to wait. The locker room was co-ed which I was not expecting and was also crowded. I didn't know where to change. The floors of the locker room were all wet and it felt damp. It didn't but feel like a nice relaxing spa experience. The sauna area was crowded. Only 3 chairs to hangout in which were occupied most of the time. There was a charge for tea which is usually complimentary in a spa experience. I ended up leaving before my 2 hours for the sauna experience because it was not relaxing and the vibe was not enjoyable. Overall it felt cramped, crowded, damp, and a let down from what was shown on the website.

I recommend using their referral system to get 20% your visit, especially for first timers. Unlimited tea was a huge perk. All the accessories you would need are provided: shower/spa shoes, towels (multiple types), their own line of yummy shampoo, conditioner and lotion. They even have a drying machine to cycle out the water in your swim suit. Love that there are multiple sections (hot soaking pool, warm still water, cold plunge, sauna, steam room infused with eucalyptus) to go through and that there's a guide for how to rotate through the spaces on the wall. The steam room was my favorite. Also love the outdoor balcony section with lots of chairs to soak in sunshine or lounge with a book. In my experience, service is super friendly esp with the mini locker room rundown. Water pressure and temperature is very finnicky in the shower stalls, but they were very spacious. However the women's bathroom portion can start to feel very small during certain waves of people coming in and out.

Think 24 Hour Fitness, but make it wellness. Hot tub, steam, sauna... clean, simple, and the staff are genuinely great. No complaints there. But the experience itself? It's just... basic. Cascada, on the other hand, is a whole different level. The comparison honestly feels like Spirit vs Delta, Holiday Inn vs The Ritz, Nissan vs Lexus. Once you've experienced that level of intention, design, and atmosphere, it's hard to go back. Knot Springs isn't bad, it's just not that. If you're looking for a straightforward soak, it'll do the job. But if you're chasing an elevated, immersive wellness experience... you might leave wanting more.
