As a gift for my birthday, my husband booked me an appointment for an one hour European facial. He…read morehandled the booking and payment which I believe was all done virtually. My last facial was many, many years ago so this was a great experience for a service other than massage which I usually steer towards. The room was very calming and clean. Nice beachy music was playing. The products all smelled amazing. The steam was a bit overwhelming but I go through it and assuming it helped with extractions afterwards. Overall, I felt taken care of during the facial and will be happy to return for future services!

Once the session finally began, she blasted Cardi B so loud the entire time that it completely ruined any chance of relaxing. I could barely hear myself think, let alone unwind. The massage itself was mediocre at best -- rushed, inconsistent pressure, and zero attention to what I actually needed. Felt like she was just going through the motions while the music blasted. Between the flakiness, the loud music, and the underwhelming service, I won't be back. There are way better spas that actually respect your time and create a peaceful environment. Avoid.

Service was incredibly fast, and the staff were very attentive. Overall quality of the two smoothies were good, but the only reason I give these 4 stars instead of 5 is that you can still slightly taste the artificial sweetening. But at only 250 calories for the açaí goodness and 475 for the PB & B, the taste is still quite good.

I literally have not had a haircut since before the pandemic. She also performed an eyebrow wax service at my request even though it was unscheduled and I thank her for just making the experience absolutely perfect. It was a great salon experience and I will be back for more hair services in the future. Here's why I took a star off: You get a free pass in the gym for your visit but I had been told that you can come back and use it at a later time and that staff had confirmed this previously (was it just lipservice??) so I didnt bother bringing my gym clothes. But the front desk spa staff said that the pass was only for the day of and when I asked at the main front desk some of the staff whom I assume was management hanging out at the desk rudely also told me that it was for the day of like I was trying to take advantage of them or something. Was that really neccessary? I didnt have my gym gear but I went to the women's locker room couch and vegged/relaxed. Then I got something at the not busy too cafe which I got to go which took more time than it should. When I got home, I opened the meal and it was the wrong order but completely delicious so I devoured it. I looked at their website just now and it turns out they charge 40 bucks for a gym daypass and 120 monthly for a one person membership. ouchy owie. I would go to the spa again but never pay for gym membership.

Please note that this 5 stars is reviewing this spa for what it is. It is NOT a fancy place with…read moremarble floors and separate locker rooms. It is, however, very nice for what it is. I bought a living social coupon for a great price (under $60 for a 90 min massage)...so I wasn't expecting much. When I called to make an appt, the receptionist kindly told me that living social deals weren't available on weekends, and gave me options during the week. I arrived a few mins early as requested to fill out paperwork. The place was as expected, an office suite made as much into a spa as possible. The front area was a bit cluttered, but it didn't bother me. The receptionist was extremely friendly. I met my massage therapist, Jamaise, and she was super nice. Took me into my massage room, and it was one of the biggest I've ever been in. Clean, dim light, soft music, and smelled good...all the things you want when getting a massage. Again, not fancy, so if you're looking for that, go elsewhere. Jamaise was amazing!!! She was respectful of my wishes, and gave an extremely relaxing, yet productive, massage. I would definitely go back to see her again. Check out with the living social deal was seamless, and I just left a cash tip. All in all, it gets 5 stars because it was better than I expected it to be for the price I paid, and the massage itself was fantastic!

The price isn't bad if you're value shopping (you get what you pay for though). Lobby area is neat, front desk lady Felicia is always pleasant. Tried a few different therapists and ended up sticking with Leon, who does a good job. It's what you would expect for a midtier spa chain basically. Improvement areas: 1. Annoying how the chain is set up to only offer 50 min (vs 60) and 80 min (vs 90) massage sessions unlike every other place. Gives off the impression that they're being stingy with time given to clients. 2. My first couple visits each time I felt like I was being sold to by both the receptionist and therapist which was weird. People go to spas to relax, so go softer on the selling. Membership should only be brought up once by receptionist. PRO TIP: While the membership does save you a bit of money if you know you're using it at least once a month, just know there are add on fees for extending to 80 mins and adding deep tissue. You also have to specifically request that you want deep tissue as an add on, it's not a given. it's tricky getting out of your membership- if you do end it, make sure to call at least 30 days PRIOR to the monthly renewal date or else you'll have another 2 months' worth of charges on your card.

Now let's review the massage... Upon entering her home, you'll first sign some standard papers, once that's complete you then will get ready for your massage. She has a nice heated massage table with comfortable linens inside the massage room. She also offers, haircuts, waxing etc. The 90 min sports massage was amazing. She's very strong and knows how to get the knots out. My time actually ran past 90 min and no matter what she likes to end the massage with a wonderful stretch. The stretching was the icing on the cake. My body needed everything she gave me. I was truly satisfied with the massage. I highly recommend you give her massage a try. She will not disappoint.

I highly recommend visiting Shannon at Love My Skin. She is offering several special deals this November, and you can try a variety of treatments including micro-needling and hydrofacials.

I always leave appointments feeling relaxed and pampered. I frequently get comments on having a youthful appearance. I attribute that to Shannon and her "magic." I wouldn't think of going to anyone else!
