    I feel very indifferent bout this place. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great either and I probably wouldn't return. To start, it's not aesthetically pleasing at all. They should try a little harder to make the place look more welcoming. I did the 50 min head spa and it felt like more brushing of the hair than massaging. Also, she was brushing so much that it started burning my head and didn't even feel good. You're also in one big room full of multiple beds next to each other so there's not any privacy and you can hear everything so it's not very relaxing. Some parts of the massage were good but more pressure could've been done. All in all it wasn't worth the $75. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    My friend, sister, and I booked almost two months ahead of time for this place and we were so excited and ready for our heads to be pampered. The day finally we came and we made the voyage from the east valley. We arrived right on time and the two girls working quickly came out from the back and greeted us. My sister and I had our appts together but my friends was an hour later so she sat and waited at the front. The room where the treatment takes place is pretty big. There is no privacy though so you can see and hear other people if there is any. My treatment started as soon as I laid down. I put the pillow under my knees and used the blanket for some warmth. She started on my facial (add on to any service for an extra cost) and she took her time. I asked for medium pressure and she did just that. The facial took about 20 minutes and my face felt very relaxed during and after and it felt smooth. Next she started on my head. My favorite part was when she brushed out my hair gently and used the scalp massager. It also felt really good when she scrubbed my scalp and used a lot of shampoo. My scalp was loving it! Every product that was used whether it was on my face or head smelled really good and felt good. Time went by quickly and she wrapped up my hair once it was all done. I was then told I could head on over to the bathroom and brush out my hair. My sister and I both finished at the same time so we were both back there and we were also told we could use any of the styling products that they had on the counter. Overall we all enjoyed our service. The girls were friendly and no where did our service feel rushed. We paid almost $100 for the service and it was well worth it. It's been three days and even after washing my hair twice it still feels soft.

    Zen Spa is located in a strip mall on North Avenue in Phoenix. For starters, I would rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. I was very nervous to try this scalp treatment because of my hair type. When I scheduled my appointment, I asked the staff member if the hair technicians have experience working with textured hair, and they said yes. I made sure to detangle my hair before my appointment to prevent any matting. I also brought my detangling brush and conditioning products just in case something went left. Nathan was extremely receptive to feedback after my treatment. At first, he took a brush to my dry hair/ scalp which is a NO NO with textured hair. I was on the verge of stopping within the first 10 mins of my appointment. Once the massage started, things turned around. Nathan used rosemary oil to stimulate my scalp. He also used a specialized steamer to help enhance my relaxation and purify my scalp. The actual massage itself was very good. Right after my treatment, I advised him to use a spray bottle or add some sort of product to textured hair before combing or brushing. Overall, he did a good job with the massage. My final feedback would be to have some sort of 5 min consultation before the service begins. That way, you can understand the clients hair type and go into the treatment without any surprises.

    Very relaxing. The head spa treatment consists of hair brushing, scalp massage, and hair wash. It all felt amazing. It's not the most luxurious spa experience though, and there is definitely room for improvement (i.e. they could add on aromatherapy, offer robes to wear or towel around neck, have higher quality hair products in bathroom, etc). However it was a lovely experience overall, worth the cost, and I do recommend going!

    I enjoyed the Tranquil package at my appointment today and it was wonderful. I was so relaxed that I even nodded off a couple of times. You can smell the wonderful aromas the second you open the door and I felt immediately at ease. The treatment room has multiple beds but since you don't have to remove any clothing, I felt very comfortable here. I loved how dark and relaxing it felt with cool, dim lights that could change colors. I was offered a blanket and it was so soft and comfortable. They have a pillow for under your knees, but I could've used a little more cushion in the actual table. By the end of my treatment, my back was a little sore, but I didn't really mind with how amazing everything else was. They started with the facial and then the scalp treatments. Everything felt so nice and smelled so nice that I let myself fully relax. This appointment was a gift from my family and I may need to ask for this again for another holiday because it was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Overall a good massage but I had to ask her twice to decrease the pressure and she also didn't put an eye mask on me when I flipped onto my back, which was awkward. It was also freezing in the room and although she said she put it on warm, it never warmed up. I was ok on the warm table, but when I got up afterwards, it was still as freezing as when I got in. They recently did a renovation and the women's shower area is really nice with big individual frosted glass showers with a dry area in front of the shower so that your things don't get wet. Prior to our massages, we enjoyed the co-ed pool area which is for spa guests only, 18+. This was a relaxing area with several water features with different pressures that you could stand under. They also had two small pools to the left which was a cold plunge and a hot plunge (no jets). The views of the mountains were so relaxing and the waiter Daniel was highly available for you to order food and drinks if wanted. Then I went to the women's only area to shower. They offer the most amazing smelling salt scrub (complementary) that makes your skin so soft. Don't forget to grab a bowl! The attendants in the women's area were so helpful. In this area was also a steam room, sauna and an area to dump a bucket of cold water on yourself. They also had 3 heated beds that you can lay on for 10 minutes before your treatment. After the massage, you go in a co-ed sanctuary and lay on a bed with a weighted blanket with noise canceling headphones for 25 minutes. This bed also vibrates to the sounds you choose. One side of my headphones wasn't working unfortunately. After, this led into a co-ed lounge. The hot water maker was already put away (at 5:06pm when they close at 6pm) so I couldn't make myself a cup of tea afterwards - especially when I still felt freezing, which was really disappointing. I expected more for $295 - better snacks and tea available until closing time. I don't think that is a lot to ask for. With so many spas in the area, if ever back in Scottsdale, we don't plan to return.

The showers make you feel brand new and the rooftop pool is secluded and peaceful. I got the shrimp kabobs at the rooftop and it was so incredible I booked another service to come back the next day! My only add is that the services themselves could use improvement. I had a massage yesterday where my therapist spent 7 min of my 50 min explaining to me the massage and talking to me rather than providing me with my service. While I very directly asked for deep tissue, she refused saying that is not what I needed. I tried several times to politely redirect Ms.Annette ( my masseuse) and express that that is what I would like, but ultimately I felt uncomfortable and unable to advocate for myself in this vulnerable space. She took it upon herself to do what she thought I needed rather than what I asked for and expressed I wanted. This was frustrating. My nail tech for my pedicure, Nora, also started 6 min late for my pedicure despite no one else being in the salon. This normally would be no issue for me ( I am at a spa after all!) but it is frustrating that the scheduled end of the service is not adjusted to align with the providers tardiness. Finally, the spa attendants in the bathroom area(s) could not be any friendlier or more helpful. One even brought me water while I was getting ready. It's the little things! I love coming here for the amenities, pool, and food, but I am tempted and would recommend to go otherwhere for better quality services ( massage and pedicure) where providers are excited/ agreeable to align with client direction and requests

So today we booked it as part of a birthday and Mother's Day weekend celebration. When our technician called out, staff member Madison called us at 9:02 AM and offered to upgrade my pedicure into a massage at no extra charge since our technician called in sick. I told her my husband won't go to the pedicure alone and asked how much do we need to pay for him if we also upgrade his service into a massage? Madison proceeded to place me on hold and came back and said don't worry about the upgrade for Mr. Fish and I got immediately excited and so happy and thanked her , told her will be there by 10 AM.. Upon arrival, we were handed a bill for $635 a Kimberly checked us in. I said I spoke to a Madison and she was next to her and confirmed to Kimberly at the front that our price was $240 total based on our earlier conversation She even told me Kimberly that we are getting upgraded to 2 Artisan massages. We went ahead with our massages trusting it was resolved. We had the best time and enjoyed as normal and ended up leaving around 4PM. At checkout, my husband went downstairs and Madison is now presenting him with the $635 bill!!! Of course like anyone in his position he would be shocked! Like what?!!!! He felt like he was having an out of body experience!! Madison's explanation, and I quote " I misspoke"claimed she misspoke and gave my husband the $635 bill telling my husband that her manager Jed told her while we were getting our massages that what she was told by her manager Jed that they can longer provide what was promised to me on the phone and at checkout. This was going while I was still upstairs, and saw my husband upset. I asked what's going on and he said don't worry about it I will handle this, he said it's your birthday and I am not letting them spoil your day . When confronted, Madison denied ever offering the upgrade in front of her manager when my husband said that's what she said. My husband did not even want me in this conversation because it was birthday/Mother's Day weekend and he did not want to spoil my day.. . What was meant to be a special weekend turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience. We loved the massages but left feeling disappointed by Madison. I have to say Madison has been so pleasant and super friendly every time we were there, to get this treatment from her, this really hurt me especially on my day and so unexpected. The manager Jed in my opinion did not handle this right. He should have asked Kimberly listened to the call that was made. I don't know but this was handled very poorly in my opinion. Madison had so many chances to make this right but chose not to. What was offered in good faith was taken back without accountability. We hope management reviews the 9:02 AM call recording, because that will tell the whole story or even speak to Kimberly that Madison corrected when we checked in. This is making me feel like I can't trust this company. Moving forward I want to record conversations or make sure I have proof or something because their word is not to be trusted. This leaves my amazing birthday/Mother's Day weekend ending in a bad note because of this.

She said she would have to ask and get back to me. They have a monthly membership they push, and it was mentioned to me several times. If you have never been to a spa before, it's quite common to be upsold on products and services.

Typically they stop if you say no, and this was my experience here so it was fine. The location is awesome and there is enough to do here to keep you occupied for a couple hours. You could really make a whole day of it if you get a couple services, want to do some shopping or browsing, and a meal. Speaking of food, it's worth mentioning they have a little tea and snack bar in the lobby. The furniture here is not that comfortable and does not feel cozy. I don't think they designed it to actually keep people here longer than a few mins, so it's not a spa lounge by any means but has the basics you'd expect for spa treats like water, tea, and a few snacks.

    I really wanted to do the Hammam ritual here so I saved up for a long time. I enjoyed it and felt…read moregreat when it was done but I feel like it wasn't thoughtfully crafted and probably only worth about half of what they charged. The first part is to go into what they call a private warming Hammam room, but the warming room is actually not private and is open to everyone using the sauna. There is a private treatment room, and I think this is really what you are paying a small fortune for--to lie down on a 200-year-old authentic Cherrywood Hammam table for an exfoliation scrub. The table itself is beautiful but not very comfortable--it's high up, so hard to get onto, and--like all wood tables--is very hard. Next you are supposed to go through a self-guided journey through the steam, sauna, whirlpool, warming room again, and cold deluge. They have a recommended circuit but there is no way to actually follow the times on it because you only have 25 minutes (and it took me 5 to get my swimsuit back on). I think I was expecting to be able to spend this time focusing on the experience, but it felt more like I was rushing through the steps in time while hanging out in the spa with everyone else, trying to run through all of the steps in time. Finally, the website says this ends with a massage with CBD or arnica oil. This is in a separate room and on a regular and more comfortable table. Mine was just a regular massage, no oils, though I got to choose between lavender and eucalyptus scents. They do have fun add-ons, like shea butter or cupping or hot stones, but those don't add additional time, so you're paying extra to have a massage take less time so they can add on the other thing you paid for. But if you go during your birthday month you get a free add-on. Anyway, my massage therapist was really good but not $580 good.(I don't know if anyone could be!) There are a lot of spas hat are supposed to be for intentional purposes--like a place to put a rock selected for its qualities, or you can put your hand on an enormous crystal imported from Brazil. But they kind of rush you through this part and it doesn't really seem to be designed with care. For example, there is a fountain outside to put the rock that you see before you even receive a rock. It's not clear that you're supposed to pick it up on the way out. There is no clock in the room where you wait for your appointment. The hooks to hang your robe or towel are and there aren't enough hooks for the number of people. Etc. Overall I think $580 is way overpriced for what is offered, which is basically a scrub and massage and the same spa amenities as everyone else. I was also disappointed by the snack selection--they just had trail mix and dried mangos. I guess I am spoiled because I've been to Aji Spa, which has the most amazing selection of snacks and you can get a wrap and massage for roughly half the price. And it's really somewhere you want to hang out at all day. The food menu on the website is also out of date--I'd decided what I wanted to order ahead of time but it wasn't available. So overall I felt like this ritual didn't have the attention and care I would expect for something this expensive. I am glad I treated myself to this experience but would not do it again.

Kathy was respectful and professional yet warm and friendly. She may look tiny but she is mighty and has a ton of strength in those hands! I highly recommend visiting this spa and requesting this gal! The spa itself was a bit difficult to pinpoint within the resort so definitely call ahead to get the directions on where to park or you'll waste time driving around trying to find it and you don't want to miss any precious minutes of massage time lol. The spa itself was very nice with a clean and calm atmosphere. The massage table was the most comfortable one (or equivalent to) that I have laid on and did come with the option to be heated. However, the room was comfortable enough without it. They provide you a white robe and flip flops to change into with a locker and (for the particular couples massage we got with the Groupon my sister in law gifted me) we were also given our choice of sparkling water or champagne following the massage. The champagne was a fantastic way to end the experience! Just make sure you hydrate first so the bubbly doesn't give you a headache after.
