The spa itself is very nice, there is clothing and other wellness items for sale, as well as lattes and tea and various herbs.

Visited there Saturday I had an appointment for lash extensions the young lady that applied them is…read morevery nice but soon after I started to develop a severe allergic reaction to either the lashes or the glue. Needless to say I contacted them and had to go back in on Monday and have them removed I was in severe pain for two days my eyes were extremely red and irritated. They did remove the lashes but in no way would give me even half a refund it was $165 wasted. I didn't expect a full refund but a partial refund would have been appreciated since I have no longer able to wear the lashes. The young lady that was behind the desk made us comment that wow now we know you can never have lashes again. Unacceptable

2026 update: Unfortunately Ana has moved and so this location no longer offers TMJ, Cranial Sacral…read morenor Lymphatic Drainage (as of this writing) due to lack of trained staff. Additionally their listed times are not the actual length of massage but are shortened by at least a 5 min undress and 5 min redress which is excessive and reduces value. Lastly, their massage therapists often run late by 5-10 minutes most of the time. Original 5 star review: Ana fixed my TMJ issues! My jaw and face were extremely tight for years with TMJ symptoms and pain; a few weeks of seeing Ana and it is already 90% healed. She also gives amazing cranial sacral massage therapy and full body scrubs. Sonia's back facials are also fantastic and very effective. 10/10. You owe it to yourself to come here

So many people raved about this place and I haven't been able to find a place I like that does facials in the area. I called Barbara because I didn't see any appointments online and she was able to fit me in same day! She was so diligent with skin and took him time examining my skin and making sure I did the best facial for my skin. For my first visit she did the baby facial which included a facial, dermaplaning, face massage, neck massage and eye massage. The whole facial was about 90 minutes of pure relaxation. After my first facial my skin was GLOWING! I loved it so much I booked her again :) after my second facial, I decided to join the membership :) Barbara set up a plan with me so we can get my skin where I want it to be! Don't hesitate!

The entire vibe was super relaxing the moment you walked in and plenty of aromatics that put you in the right mindset before your appointment. While waiting to begin, there is a little waiting room with snacks and refreshments right before your service. Then when it's your turn for a massage, you are brought upstairs. Note, if you have issues with mobility, this may be hard for you. Auntie the massage, both masseuses were incredibly professional and amazing at their jobs! This was one of the best massages I ever had and it felt like my masseuse knew exactly all my pressure points that needed extra attention.

Apparently she left the salon between my last visit and this one. I took a half a day off of work, drove the 30+ minutes to the salon, only to be told Chelsea's not there anymore and I no longer have an appointment. No call, text, or email (all of which they have and have used in the past) telling me my appointment was canceled. No heads up that my stylist left and asking if I wanted to switch to another one. Nothing. The receptionist was polite and let me know the manager wasn't in but she would let her know to contact me. I received a call later saying they would try to get me in with another master stylist - but then they asked what services I was getting! Chelsea is a master stylist - we talk about what we want to do, she makes it happen. I don't want or need to know the name of the services it goes under - I just want it done. I have spent thousands of dollars at this salon between my haircuts and color, my daughter's haircuts and tinsel application, and purchasing products. For them to cancel my appointment with no communication and then to apparently have no information available about my normal processes is just too much. While the stylists are lovely, the management is terrible. Find a stylist at a different Aveda salon where they value their customers.
