    My 60 minute massage with Muammer was absolutely fantastic. This appointment was my very first at…read moreSpavia but I get massages regularly at other establishments in the Walnut Creek/Lafayette area. After reading a bunch of reviews both on Yelp and Google, they seemed all over the place. It's a good thing I chose to ignore some of the feedback and gave Spavia a chance. Booking the appointment was really seamless. The front desk was friendly and helpful in providing information as well as suggesting some massage therapists who could be a good fit. I made a point to fill all my necessary forms ahead of time then ensured I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment (as they instruct) to get situated before my massage. The facilities at Spavia were nice, relaxing, and clean. They even provide neck warmers for you to put on in the waiting room before your treatment which was such a nice touch. The massage itself was amazing. Before my treatment started Muammer went through all of the requests from the intake form to ensure he understood my preferences. Throughout my massage he did check-ins for pressure and gave me a heads of on what he would work on next which made me feel super comfortable. I do a lot of traditional weight training and my muscle really need to be worked on. To say that Muammer kicked my behind in the best possible way is an understatement. His massage technique and pressure was on-point! A bunch of knots that were causing so much tension melted away and I walked out of the appointment with my body feeling rejuvenated! Something that struck me as odd were the number of reviewers complaining about not getting their full treatment time. It had me worried that my services would be cut off early. Rest assured this absolutely DID NOT happen and Muammer gave me the full treatment time as booked. I think that when you actually show up on-time with the necessary grace period before your appointment like you're supposed to, you get serviced appropriately. Coming to Spavia was a real treat and I can't wait to book another appointment in the future!

    Went today for the Ultimate 24K Glow Radiance Facial with Tavianna. This was my first time ever…read morehaving a facial at a spa, so I was excited and a little nervous not knowing what to expect. The front desk staff was very helpful -- walking me through the consent forms, showing me the changing area, and helping me set the password for my locker. After changing, you're given a robe and slippers. The robe is incredibly soft and almost weighted, which added to the comfort. It even has pockets for your jewelry or glasses. Phones are not allowed in the treatment area, and no video/photo is permitted past the changing room, which I appreciated (and respected) for privacy. The facial itself was extremely relaxing. The music was at the perfect volume, and the room lighting was dim without being too dark -- just enough to enhance the experience. The service included a hand and arm massage with hot stones and warm compresses, which was such a nice touch. One minute I was getting a scrub, and the next I was waking up -- it was that relaxing. They also have a retail area at the front where you can purchase the products used during your service. Overall, a wonderful first spa experience. I'm already looking forward to booking my second facial and trying other services they offer. 100% would recommend

    I'm sorry to say that I didn't have the best experience here. The excellent reviews won me over,…read moreand I wish I had the same experience as many here. When I arrived, Pari asked me what my current skincare routine was. When I told her my answer (vitamin A and retinol), her reaction was quite judgemental rather than accepting and helpful. She was very blunt when talking about my skin, instead of going into specifics like dullness, discoloration, etc. etc. She kept it vague and said it looked "terrible." Yet after her treatment, she said my skin looked "amazing" which left me a bit confused. It's hard to believe that anyone's skin could go from "terrible" to "amazing" with an hour of treatment. Pari didn't really explain anything that she was putting on me - what type of masks they were, what type of lotions she was using. She told me to stop my current skincare regimen if I wanted better skin. When I asked about alternatives to my current routine, her responses were rather vague. I was left feeling uncertain about how to improve my skincare routine. It seemed like she was gate-keeping a lot of her knowledge but was freely telling me how bad of a job I'm doing with my skincare and dissing other skincare products (namely from Korea). Sorry, but the interaction soured what could have been a great facial. With better communication and a more supportive tone, this could have been a much more positive experience!

    When my esthetician left Martinez, I was on the hunt for a new place. I tried Spavaia for about 7…read moremonths, maybe more. I missed the knowledge and experience of a professional. I found Modern Skin therapy and gave it a try. Pari is the owner and she is amazing. Pari has beautiful skin herself, which always makes a client feel better! She's professional and knowledgeable and won't do something that will harm your skin. The location has tons of parking and the setting is relaxing and clean. She sells a variety of amazing skin care products, but most is Eminence, which I absolutely love. Pari is patient, professional kin and I trust her with my skin!!! Pricing is on point with other salons but she can actually back up what she does. I recommend Modern Skin Therapy.

    I had a Botox appointment with Haley and decided to try Jeuveau for the first time, and I'm so…read morehappy with my results! Her consultation was super thorough, and you can tell right away how knowledgeable she is. She really takes the time to listen to what you want and makes you feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole process. Her assistant Casey was also amazing! You can tell they work really well together and complement each other, which made the whole experience even better. The actual injections were so quick and practically painless. I purposely waited a little before writing this review because I wanted to see how everything settled--and I LOVE it. Haley really tailored everything perfectly to my face and what I wanted. I still look and feel like myself, just an amplified, refreshed version. Nothing feels overdone at all. I'm super picky about who I trust with my face, and I'll definitely be coming back to see Haley.

    I was so excited for my first facial experience here until I walked in unfortunately. I was…read moreexpecting a warm welcome but the receptionist that day didn't smile nor have a welcoming presence. I told her it was my first time getting a facial and she looked ready to go home. For my first diamond glow express facial, it was a nice introduction to facials. The esthetician was friendly and accommodating. The lady at checkout was way nicer and had excellent customer service. Not sure if I would return back.

    Came here on a whim Monday morning for the first time. My sleep has been awful and my body was…read morepaying the price so I was lucky to be able to walk in and immediately be seen by Nicole without an appointment. Nicole definitely knew what she was doing! I did the 60 min deep tissue. She was very strong and attentive. She immediately found all my knots and some tight spots I didn't even know about. She recommended next time to do 90min and that I would see the best therapeutic results with a massage every 2 weeks. I would come back again and see Nicole! I do wish there was less sound bleeding and maybe the ability to turn the lights down lower/music up a little, but otherwise I had a great experience.

The person massaging me had to keep instructing…read morethe person massaging my husband on what to do, and when my husband would make requests on how/what he preferred, the therapist ignored him. Since my massage was decent, we decided to only tip for my therapist. When the matron looked at the screen with the single tip, she made a remark to her colleague in a different language and then converted back to English (she had been speaking English the entire time). Since I don't know what she said, I can't confirm whether she was making a snarky remark or not, but it gave off that vibe and honestly, that was very unprofessional to do. Very disappointing experience. I am unable to recommend this business.

The lesson we learned from all of this is that the hydrafacial is superior to other facials and allows for better extractions. Victoria's hydrafacial skills are fantastic. If my husband needs another hydrafacial which he probably will at some point then he will book with Victoria again. With Victoria's advice, my husband will switch to a different brand of sunscreen, one that is mineral-based which will be easier on his pores. Thank you Victoria for making a positive difference to my husband's skincare goals!

I am on week 3 of this and my Doctor said it will most likely last 1-2 months! I have cancelled so many events because I don't feel comfortable being around people looking like this. I also do most of my work on Zoom so this has affected my job (again, I don't feel comfortable being on camera). I contacted the place and even though they were nice about it, they would not refund my money. I know it is a risk anytime that you do injectables but to do this to a customer and then charge them $730 for it, doesn't sit right with me. Who cares if I signed something, you took $ for a service and then botched my face for most of my summer. Unacceptable. DO NOT GET BOTOX HERE!

    This is one of the closest nail salons to me. So it is convenient. I only really go here for…read morepedicures since I do hard gel or sculpted extensions elsewhere. However, I will admit that I did come in when I had a Gel-X tip split from another salon and they helped me with a new nail and tried to match the color as much as possible. The pedicures, mainly gel ones LAST 3+ weeks. It's probably their top and base because I've brought in my own gel (LeChat) and the results were the same. (I do avoid using DND/Daisy since I'm not a fan of them.) They also cut my nails as short as I request them to and VERY SHORT. Massages sometimes can be hit or miss since I need a firm, deep tissue. But I will say the consistency of having pedicures that can last forever is great! Don't change Kevin and Team! My only cons are that they don't do Russian/dry manicures as a normal mani treatment. Prices are a little high, but that's typical Diablo Valley prices. Oakland/Berkeley/Alameda are around 10-15% cheaper.

    I booked appointments for both myself and my friend well in advance because we wanted to avoid a…read morelong wait. Unfortunately, we still ended up waiting almost two hours, which completely defeated the purpose of making an appointment. I paid $80 for a pedicure, but it was very disappointing. There was no massage or the level of service I expected for that price. When they started my friend's manicure , the technician was very rude to her, which made the experience even more unpleasant. The biggest surprise came when, after all that waiting, a staff member told me they couldn't do my manicure because there were too many customers waiting. I had specifically booked an appointment, so I don't understand why my reserved time wasn't honored. Overall, the service was unprofessional, poorly organized, and not worth the money. If appointments are required, they should be respected. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this salon based on how we were treated.
