My first experience at Fuchsia was for a 50 minute massage and add-on Wellness "Sound Table". I was checked in at the front, and shown to a small waiting area, and offered water or tea. The waiting area is off of a narrow walkway, which is fairly high traffic, with guests being brought back to the treatment rooms. The room is painted black, and lit by an electric fireplace. For me, it did not feel like a relaxing pre-treatment. I was then taken to a large room with four massage tables, and asked to pick a meditation to listen to, and provided headphones. There was a folded blanket to use while having the 30 minute treatment. The tech stated that the table would vibrate in coordination with the meditation; however, it was mostly just a loud droning, with minimal to no vibration noted. The room has a large tinted window to the sidewalk, and the lighted chandelier was kept on, which made the room too light and not deeply relaxing. As well, the tech was coming in and out to check on another client, and the loud closing of the door was distracting. My massage started a bit late, and the tech took me to the room and immediately suggested an add-on of a scalp massage with aromatherapy, and gave me a plastic card which listed all the possible add-ons. I asked specifically about the amount of oil used in my hair, and how the aromatherapy worked, as I am used to massages that incorporated several deep inhalations of aromatherapy at the beginning and at the conclusion, and was told that its "minimal oil in your hair" and the aromatherapy is a "mix of peppermint, lavender, and others". So, I felt a little awkward and pressured at that moment, standing in the massage room with a therapist that I've never met, and I agreed to the scalp massage add-on. The massage room had beautiful lighting on the ceiling, which was nice to look at. It was clean and tidy. It was on the chilly side in the room, and I wished the table heated more. The massage was average, with some awkward moments of draping attempts, missed areas, and breaks in flow. Nothing therapeutic, mostly just a light relaxing Swedish type massage. The scalp massage was mostly a superficial rubbing of fingerpads over my hair. And the aromatherapy oil, placed along my temples and brows was so strong it immediately started burning my skin and the fumes were overwhelming. I know that essential oils are very potent, and only a few drops at most are meant to be put into a carrier oil if used topically. I literally felt as though they were being used full-strength on my skin, from the intensity of the burning and fumes. Super unpleasant. By the time I left, I had a full-on headache. The spa encourages guest to buy a "membership" for monthly services. I prefer to try out all of the services first to see if it will be a good fit. I will consider trying the spa next for a facial, as they use Eminence products, which are high-end, natural, and have good results. read more
