    Pretty couples room. Love the decor and ambient light. | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    We came in for a couples massage recently after finding a great Groupon deal, and overall we left satisfied. The therapist working on me was super thorough. I started with "medium pressure," quickly realized I had overestimated myself, told her it was a bit much, and she adjusted right away. I appreciated how attentive she was. The whole place is clean, organized, and cozy. Our room was cute, and they put real effort into the floral ceiling décor. The soft purple ambient lighting was such a nice touch--especially since it's my favorite color. The only part that felt a little off was at the very end. After the therapists finished and stepped out for us to change, we stayed on the table for a few minutes just to enjoy that post-massage float--you know, when your body turns into warm pudding and you'd want to happily nap right there. But a few minutes later, one of the therapists knocked and asked if we were done - twice! It felt like we were being rushed out, even though the place didn't seem very busy. Other than that tiny hiccup, everything else was lovely, and the massage itself was totally worth it. Would consider coming back!

    We got the couples massage offer on Groupon and my expectations were very low. To my surprise this was one of the best overall experiences I've had for a couples massage. The room was super cute the pressure during my massage was perfection and their playlist was good and relaxing. Upon walking in we were greeted warmly and the gentleman at the front did a wonderful job assisting us with our Groupon redemption and took the time to explain the differences between the massages....most places I've been to have been as thorough and typically try to upsell...this place did not and they didn't press us for a tip...which is why we made sure to tip them well. I definitely see myself coming back when I'm in the area again. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

    Booked a couple's massage and used a Groupon discount! We picked the Swedish massage and the service came with hot stones and aromatherapy. We were seen immediately for our appointment and was greeted warmly. My masseuse was a lovely lady and my boyfriend was assigned to a gentleman. She had the perfect pressure and was making sure to check on me diligently. My boyfriend said he was very relaxed after his massage as well. After the service, we were offered some water and we tipped them with cash and then card. Overall, the setting was relaxing, clean, and welcoming! We will definitely come again.

    Very uncomfortable experience. I paid for my massage, but afterward they kept pressuring me for a tip and it felt like they didn't want to let me leave without paying extra. Tips are supposed to be optional. During the massage, my earring was also pulled out of my ear, which was painful and careless. Communication was difficult as well because the staff I dealt with barely spoke English. I left feeling pressured and upset. I won't be coming back.

    Good massage! I purchased the Groupon ticket. It's my first time getting massage, like literally EVER and it was great! We did the couples massage male on male and female on female. Super relaxed feeling with music, lovely room for us very clean. We met the owner he gave us a little cup of water at the end of our massage. We did the Swedish massage with hot stone on our body, they put hot towels to wipe the oils. I would definitely come back, loved the atmosphere, super relaxed feeling. Beauty decor from the inside very modern.

    5 Star Service!

The clinician called me to ask if I could come in early and I said yes hoping to be feeling better but as I began to work on some things at home I felt worse and worse. (I just found out I have Covid). I attempted to reschedule through Vagaro, but because my appointment was less than six hours away, the system would not allow me to do so. I called the salon and was informed by a staff member that I would be charged a $10 cancellation fee despite being sick and wanting to reschedule rather than cancel outright. Since my service was only an underarm wax, the fee amounted to approximately 40% of the total service cost. I asked whether an exception could be made given the circumstances, but was told it was the "manager's policy." The response felt very scripted and lacked any empathy for the situation. I ultimately agreed to pay the fee, but asked that the manager be informed they had lost a customer over $10. Unfortunately, the experience became even more disappointing. The manager, Sarah, called me after I had already explained that I was sick and wanted to discuss the situation. I was really not feeling well and did not appreciate receiving a call to discuss this further. I told the manager that, because I wasn't feeling well, the only discussion I was interested in having was whether the cancellation fee would be refunded. Instead of addressing my concern, Sarah ended the call abruptly by HANGING UP ON ME. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but customer service and compassion matter. A little flexibility for a client who woke up sick and was trying to reschedule, not avoid paying, would have gone a long way. Instead, I was charged a fee that represented a significant portion of the service cost and was treated in a way that ensured I won't be returning. If you book here, just be aware that if you wake up sick on the day of your appointment, you should expect the cancellation fee to be enforced regardless of the circumstances.

Earlier this week I had my sugaring appointment. I arrive to the Brea location and I get the text to respond that Im there. I respond and Im waiting patiently for someone to open the door. Im looking at the window and am noticing there are no hours posted for Sunday (the day I went). Hard to see but then I notice all the lights are off. Weird?? I look back at my texts and see that I booked for the Santa Ana location and not the Brea location. THEN I call the Santa Ana location and Lesly picks up. I told her I was at the wrong location and asked if she would still take me if I came right now and she said yes. My original appointment was at 12pm and she said she can squeeze me in at 1245pm. THEN I drove to the Santa Ana location. Thank goodness she said 1245pm because I got there at 1230 driving around looking for parking. I had never been in that area before. ***The door is unlocked and I go in and I am greeted by Lesly. She told me where to go and to prep myself. Now, I will say the room I was in had a weird smell. Not a nasty smell but like an old building smell. Lesly gets to sugaring me and honestly the pain level was 2-3/10. Also, Lesly is so cool. Professional and flexible. It really felt like a friend was servicing me. We talked about the world cup, Love Island, and others things I can't remember because I took too long to write this review! I was out of there within 15 minutes. She also recommended me a coffee shop as I asked her what was good in that area. This location is really out of the way but honestly I would probably come here again just because of the service!

Her eyebrows were done poorly, and we ended up taking her to another salon in Garden Grove to have them corrected. If you decide to visit, I recommend getting to know who will be providing your service. In the past, my wife has received nothing but exceptional service here, which is why this experience was so surprising. Another concern was the payment process. She was told that a new California law requires a 20% tip to be added when paying with a card, and there was also an additional $3.50 charge for debit card users. Had we known about these fees beforehand, we would have brought cash. Based on my understanding, the explanation regarding the mandatory 20% tip did not seem accurate. I am happy to leave a generous tip when service is exceptional, but I do not believe customers should be required to pay a 20% gratuity, especially when they are dissatisfied with the quality of the service they received. While this visit was disappointing, I want to acknowledge that previous experiences here have been very positive. I hope management addresses these concerns to ensure future customers have a better experience.
