I got an anti-aging facial at VALO and I have to say it was one of the best I've had. I really love…read morespa treatments and make it a point to go to high-end spas when I'm on vacation; but just because there's a hefty price tag on it doesn't mean it's necessarily that much better in terms of quality. The actual facial I received here was incredible. I would call VALO a demi spa in that it has some amenities, but not that many. They do have a nice locker room and offer spa style robes and sandals, and you can take a shower after your service if you like, but they don't have a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, etc. Their robes were pretty size inclusive, the biggest one I saw was a two XL. The facial room itself was nicely appointed, and had a feature I haven't seen in a long time, which was a little light display on the ceiling that was very soothing. The facial bed/table was very comfortable and ergonomic. The facialist was warm and friendly, but professional. She spoke to explain things as she was doing them, and to warn me when something would be cold or bright, but didn't speak so often that I felt like she was interrupting my Zen. I can tell she was very well trained, and her massage technique was excellent. Her hands felt experienced, and the way she moved from treatment to treatment was seamless. The only thing I noticed that could be improved upon was the volume of the music in the lobby. I really like the music they had, which was sort of a more modern spa track, but as the receptionist was giving me the tour, she spoke with her back to me and between that and the music I couldn't hear what she was saying.

This place is such an oasis…read more Being Scandinavian, a visit to Valo feels like going home for a couple of hours. It is so nice and quiet, and even waiting for your appointment is part of the experience. Sitting in their dimly lit lounge, wearing a luxurious robe, sipping a delicious cup of tea, and watching the "flames" dance in the firepit...it feels so indulgent, and since phones aren't allowed, it forces you to just be present for a little bit. I usually go for facials, and I love the Swedish Maria Åkerberg products they use. These are also available for purchase. Halle is a wonderful aesthetician, and I always feel so refreshed and relaxed when I leave. They provide the robe and slippers, and have lockers to keep your belongings in during the appointment. The locker room also has a shower, and some complimentary hair products and deodorant available for use. Everyone is always so friendly, and the prices are really comparable to other spas in town. To my knowledge though, this is the only place of its kind in town - a true, stand alone day spa. Definitely go if you're looking for some quality "you time".

She tackled everything I stated and I left feeling like a new person with less tension in my neck and back. I highly recommend stopping by.

The massages were supposed to be an hour...they were more like 45 minutes so that was frustrating (we had 9am appointments, were brought back a few minutes after and were done by 9:50). We also had a bit of trouble getting in contact with the facility- I sent an email inquiry and left a VM that was unanswered. The experience itself was amazing minus feeling like our time was cut a bit short and troubles with making contact. I would go back.

They do an intake form where you can describe all your prior health history, any injuries, the areas you would like to be targeted during the massage, and the kind of pressure you would like. Since I've had painful deep massages in the past, I requested lighter pressure, and my masseuse delivered perfectly. My partner also really enjoyed the hot stone massage as well. Our only complaint was that we wished the background spa music was a bit louder. I booked this massage about one month in advance. They had a few availabilities on Friday, but the weekends were definitely booked up. This place was at least more available than other massage places I tried calling to book, so definitely recommend booking farther in advance if you have a specific evening time or weekend time that you would like. They do take a 50% deposit at time of booking and have a 24 hour cancellation policy for full refund.

This place by far was the least expensive of the places we found online - so much so that I was leery until I read through the reviews. Upon arrival, the ladies were very friendly, and while they do try to upsell you on lotions and essential oils, they weren't pushy about it. We were led to a pretty basic dimly lit room - no frills there - but the massage itself and the hot stones were great. $130 for a couples hour long massage just can't be beat, and I plan to treat myself (and the bf if he behaves) more often.
