You want the table a little warmer/ cooler? Got it. Want to lighten the pressure in certain areas? Sure, no problem! Curious about how 'x' pain connects to 'y' limb? You'll get an accurate, thoughtful response. Lights lower, music softer? She's on it. No stress added that I arrived a couple minutes late. She apparently had time, so she tacked those couple minutes on to the end and I got as many minutes as I actually paid for - that's always super appreciated! It would be nice if the room was a little more soundproofed or located further back in the building away from the road; I could hear lunch hour traffic rushing by on the street about 20 yd away. But other than that, this was a great massage, and I've had plenty over the decades. A lot of therapists these days slop through the motions, but Karen really has a pinpoint, accurate understanding of the human body and I give her full props for 90 minutes of targeted, firm pressure body work. Me having slightly arthritic hands, I greatly appreciate her stamina! I left the appointment, amazed with an amount of flexibility in my neck and shoulders I haven't felt in probably 10 years. My 82 yo mom loves it here, too. There's a plethora of skilled service providers and lots of face, body, general wellness treatments to choose from.

I would like to preface by saying my facialist was great. My review is more for the environment. I…read moreexpected a private room or atleast a little bit of privacy for my "relaxing facial" but it was very similar to being at a hair salon. The floor plan is open, there was zero privacy and I was sat right by the front door. People checking in could see me, I could hear everyone's conversation and barely the music. It was overall awkward and not very relaxing from my previous experiences. I don't believe I will be going back- the price was very high for a nail salon feel. The facial itself, was enjoyable.

Loved my experience at Boss Gal in Grandview. Before my visit I had heard about Boss Gal on…read moreInstagram. A lot of people I know go there for skin care services and that's exactly what I was looking for. After browsing their reviews on Yelp and the services on their website, I made an appointment for a few days later - it was super easy. I arrived to find a very spa-like, cozy and calming space. I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and it wasn't very long before a staff member introduced themselves to me and led me back to a room to discuss my needs. I had Brittany and she was lovely. She asked a lot of questions about what I was looking for, gave me options to choose from, and even priced me out before getting things started. That was really appreciated by the way. She sold me on a membership type deal where they collect $50 on a monthly basis and add it to a "bank" that I can use for services in the future. It pretty much adds up over time until your next visit and then it doesn't feel like as much of an expense when the time comes. I've done this at nail salons and can confirm it's a nice thing to have. For this trip I went with some wrinkle relaxers, aka botox. It had been a hot minute since the last time I got it and it was a breeze. Pain free to the point where I hardly felt it. My results came in within a week or so and they're great. I definitely plan on continuing so I can maintain some youthful skin as I age. I have no doubt that I'll give their other services a go in the future. I'll end with a few things I always look for in a business.. This spot is locally owned, it's affordable, the service was great, and the place is really clean.

If you're looking for a massage that's more than just a light back tickle -- let me introduce you…read moreto Andrea at Open Sky Day Spa. I asked for deep tissue, and she must've taken that as a personal challenge because WOW. This wasn't a massage, this was an exorcism of knots. Andrea's hands were like tiny sledgehammers sent straight from the gods of relaxation. She found tension in muscles I didn't even know existed -- I think at one point she was negotiating peace treaties between my shoulder blades. Now, don't get me wrong, it hurt so good. That perfect combo where you're thinking: "This is slightly painful... but if she stops, I'll cry." By the end, I felt taller, looser, and about three stress levels lighter. Pretty sure I left the table speaking fluent dolphin. The spa itself? Super calm, smells amazing, and has that soothing music that makes you wonder if you've accidentally wandered into a yoga retreat. Add Andrea's superhuman strength and skills, and you've got a winning combo. So, if you're ready to have your stress kneaded out of existence (and maybe discover a new pain/pleasure threshold along the way), ask for Andrea. Just don't schedule anything too ambitious afterward -- you'll be too relaxed to function.

Have never posted a bad review for a massage b/c quite frankly, I have never had one until not. Visiting Columbus and me and a friend booked 90 minute massages. I had Janelle, my friend had a young male (don't remember name). This was by far the worst "deep" tissue massage I have ever had. She spent at least 25 minutes on my anterior neck digging fingers into my neck (WTH). Next she pinched the lower aspect of each pec major and it was painful and bizarre. I was sore the next day from tissue damage. Please do NOT use Janelle.
