Way busier than before. It's been a little over a year since I've been back here to get a massage but my neck and shoulders were killing me. The price went up $10.00 from 3 years ago...$70.00 for 60 minutes, great price for the service. The pressure of the massage was intense but the little Asian lady I had loosened up the knots. What a gem of a place!!!

I would give this place a zero star review if I could. I was disappointed by my experience. I went…read morefor a couples massage, but we were brought into separate rooms. Parts of the massage were nice, but overall it was not relaxing. Then mine and my partners massages were cut short and we were given a discounted price due to more customers coming in. In my opinion that was unprofessional and I would not recommend this place.

It's Zen Outside the Chaos for a brief moment. Every time, the experience has been phenomenal. The therapists I've seen have all been attentive, professional, and truly skilled. The environment is clean, calm, and welcoming. I especially love the little touch of soaking your feet in hot water before starting. Such a great way to begin a session, and a fabulous foot massage. They're always respectful, kind, and communicative. I've shared that I've had surgeries on both my neck and lower back, and they always proceed with such care, checking in often to make sure the pressure is comfortable. One note: if you're booking any therapy service over 30 minutes, I highly recommend making an appointment ahead of time. They're getting busier (for good reason). This place has become my go to for relief and relaxation. Should I even be sharing this little piece of paradise? Hmm... maybe I should keep it a secret.

I understand if a business needs proof of vaccination and taking the precautions they need to take for themselves, however, they should've mentioned that vaccination is required prior to confirming an appointment and maybe don't interrogate someone why they aren't vaccinated.

I feel oddly like Sleeping Beauty. Were there adorable fluffy deer with twin fawns like in the yelp pictures? I was pretty sure they were photoshopped, but apparently not. My massage therapist Naomi was incredible. I wish I could say that I fell asleep during the massage but actually I left more sore than when I came in.. which. was. perfect! I didn't even tell her what my profession was and she was able to tell the areas that cause me discomfort throughout the week. She targeted the areas of concern and intensely concentrated on them. I loved that she offered essential oils and there was no additional charge for them. The hot stone addition was relaxing and made me feel like a pat of butter on freshly made toast. The setting was exquisite, the massage expertise unbeatable, and the price incredibly competitive and worth every dime. Pretty sure I'll be braving the traffic to return to Oly just for these massages.

I have had massages over the last 30 years and the women here are another level, intuitive, strong, they listen deeply and will truly work with you to heal your body.

The receptionist was a very nice and helpful. When it was time for my massage I could not have anticipated how great it was going to be. Heated table, hot rocks, cups, everything you could ask for. My therapist was very good at asking questions and making sure I was comfortable. She did the best massage I've ever had and I played college football so I've had many. I signed up for the membership because it is actually a very good deal and saves you a nice chunk of money. I will be going back weekly. As a former college athlete and current rodeo athlete I highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to everyone at Ballaura spa.

However as we got into talked the hot spots I would like to focus on, and which was odd for me as usually that's where someone would start or have you lay face down, instead it was face up. Where I feel it was like a massage envy type vibe where they don't just give you fully what you want and try to make you come back for another one. The hot towel and cupping was great however didn't seem like the person knew what they were fully doing. Lastly I know the cost of living has went up, but this was my first and last visit as no reason why someone should be paying $200+ for a massage period. I have found and had better from others in the area. Update: management did reach out in attempt to help solve future issues and provide a complimentary service.

Nancy used similar techniques on both sides of my body but she also focused uniquely on muscle groups and problem areas. It was not a rote and memorized massage like many Asian style salons. Approximately two-thirds of the massage was face down. Nancy has firm hands and the perfect combination of pressure and a calm pace that maintained a sense of purpose. Her pace never seemed too slow. Most of the time was spent on my back, which needed the most work. The face down portion was the best non-therapy massage I've had. The face up portion of the massage was good but not exceptional. It was typical Asian massage, some face/neck, light hands/arms, light legs. The premises were adequate, nothing fancy, clean, and organized. My only critique of the salon is I could hear slight noise from the barbershop next door.
