    After researching a multitude of spas, I chose Kiva Spa based off their offerings and overall reviews. Kiva has a very relaxing space which is apparent when one walks through the door. I had a deeper level facial with Kiva, and a deep tissue massage and a reflexology foot treatment with India. Both women displayed such care and expertise. While walking in between sessions, I saw treatment spaces I was curious about. India answered all the questions I had and it made me excited to go back and experience them. I will be recommending Kiva Spa to family and friends!

    We came here for a massage before the New Year's. The doors were locked because our appointment time was after closing, but when we were late and we didn't feel rushed or anything. The vibe of the place is very nice and calming with a lot of cool, oriental type decor. My wife and I were splitting into different rooms and I had Phillip who was great. He was able to apply the perfect amount of pressure throughout the whole massage and was able to match energy. I needed to just relax and be calm. I mentioned I had a lot of upper back and neck soreness lately and he definitely hit the spot hitting all those pressure points. I appreciate the light dialogue from his part, showing me that he can read the room very well . Will definitely come again.

    Another cute place to study and work at in NW! Such the perfect spot on an extra warm day, as you can sit inside but they have the front windows/doors open! Not a lot of seating but enough in the space :) This cafe is within a spa of course, so the vibes were peaceful. I have yet to try a massage or facial from them but I would definitely go support this local spa. I had their Purple Power smoothie, and I enjoyed it! Their açaí bowls looked great too.

    Stopped by KIVA one morning while on vacation in Portland last month and it was such a refreshing breakfast before a very hot day! I hadn't ever really had a proper acai bowl before, so when a friend from the area recommended KIVA, we were pretty interested in trying. I'd recommend going for the blended bowls or smoothies over the baked goods; we tried a cheddar scone from the display and it was fairly hard and dry. However, the acai bowl we tried, the Summer Breeze, and the seasonal smoothie were both great! The steel cut oats and the fruit packed in the acai bowl were excellent and helped the bowl be super filling even though we split it. I also really liked the crunchy coconut oil on top, it really helped give the bowl a lot of texture and flavor. A great first acai bowl experience, and I'm hoping I can find something down here in North Texas that hits that same spot!

    One star for serving 2 separate customers who ordered after me before me. And for being out of multiple things on the menu. Won't be back

    Awww heck yeah! I've had their acai bowls a couple of times now, and they're legit! They're VERY large, packed full of flavor, and leave me feeling healthy. I'm partial to the Powerhouse Bowl. Here's what's in it: Base: Acai, Banana, Maca, Raw Cacao, Almond Milk Top: GF Granola, Fresh Fruit, Peanut Butter, Hemp Seeds, Cacao Nibs, Coconut Flakes. This bowl is awesome, and I will get it over and over. Kiva is a great spot and I love having it in the neighborhood.

    Not only do I think Kiva gives the BEST facials, but her Cafe next door made me the most wonderful White Coconut creamy (tea) latte today (barista recommended a smidge of honey), it was delicious! The barista was welcoming and friendly and made my drink extra hot just as I had requested. Such a wonderful way to end your relaxing spa experience next door.

    I did not expect to leave a medspa feeling genuinely appreciated. Perhaps the last place I went to…read morehad bad energy or something of that nature, but I truly felt loved and seen today. I went in for a consultation where I got to share all my aesthetic insecurities. Despite the vulnerability, I felt empowered to make the right decision for me. Further, my decision was treated with respect which made me feel more confident about moving forward. I ended up getting masseter Botox for my TMJ. My injector made me feel comfortable and even provided me with anxiety relief tools. She was precise, patient, and provided wonderful patient care. Unfortunately, my injector is no longer at this business but I'd be willing to see others who are also qualified and experienced. I also appreciate the complementary 2 week follow up because it alleviates any concerns about possible complications.

    Very similar review to the average of those here. It is about half and half. The studio is very…read morebeautiful, everyone is nice, but it is overpriced. I have only had Dysport, nothing else and recently went to an equally if not a better location for similar injectables at the Vancouver waterfront and it was a fraction of the price. You can also find Groupons (then cross check their Yelp reviews) for a fraction of that. I usually prefer to do lasers etc when I travel because it is MUCH LESS than of the price for the same treatments in the states, but I usually get Botox at home. Overall the vibes are weird, cons of treatments (other than dangerous) aren't really shared, or alternative options for the look you want are not shared (if not sold here) similar to other reviews. I originally tried Dysport in my massetur muscles in my jaw for tension. It helped of course but I did notice slight jowling after which I found out was correlated/caused from Botox in the jaw from tiktok vids. Needless to say, it isn't addressing the underlying problem and is just a bandaid. My last appointment here, I shared I wanted to look a little lifted and refreshed mostly under my eyes. I had done lasers and microneedling in the past which helped, but was short lived. Now -- more thanks to tiktok -- I probably need to fork over for sculptra or sofwave. This will NOT be fixed by injectables. My nurse told me she could do a little cheek filer and some other filler around my face. Mind you, I'm terrified of filler. Potentially I would want a facelift down the line which I have heard can complicate that process, but mostly I don't like the bloated look, it is often so obvious and then you become blind to it, keep getting it, and look crazy. Especially in the cheeks. I already have full lips so I don't need that. It was sold as if it would even out my face and give more balance, and I thought about it, did trust the nurse, who had great texture but who's own filler was still a tad overdone, making me a little wary. It's not like Botox where it wears off over months. You're getting it "dissolved" or whatever with little lumps lying around forever, so I wanted to take the time to think about it and ended up canceling. I could see others being very pressured and trying at the appointment even though I'm sure this is as overpriced as Botox and it gives you the vibes they're trying to hit a metric. They should give you options--even if they don't offer the treatment--for the result you are looking for.

At 35 you'd think I would know how to do this by now or have had it done, but nothing I've been doing or had done to my skin has worked this well. Learning a simple regimen for my skin type and being properly educated about how and when to use which products has completely turned things around for me. Emily is very friendly, thorough and straightforward. She doesn't try to oversell any services or products. She's very informative so you have all the information you need to make your own decisions about caring for your skin properly. That being said I love the product lines they carry. Especially Marywynn's products that she has formulated. They're affordable and effective, also very clean and fragrance free. I would absolutely recommend Emily to any and everyone. She will give you a relaxing service, where you feel pampered and taken care of, as well as helping you learn to manage your skin better.

At the end of the service she said (verbatim) "your sun damage is *gasp*.... breathtaking." I have not and will never forget it. I am constantly told by others that I look at least a decade younger than my actual age (now nearly 50), but somehow this woman planted a seed that won't die in my head about how old I look and how terrible my skin is. The facial itself was forgettable but psychological damage from her callous and totally unnecessary comment is not. Spend your time and money with someone who cares about not only about your skin, but your confidence and helps build both.

By the end of the call, we were able to resolve the matter fairly (in my opinion, at least). I really appreciate her willingness to see the situation from my perspective and her taking accountability for the misleading wording on the website. I'm now taking back my comment about the spa being "shady," since it has become clear that this was an honest mistake. However, I still stand by my concern that the membership terms and wording should have been much clearer from the beginning. I'm glad Balm took my concerns seriously and made an effort to make things right. I hope the website will be updated soon to provide more clarity, so issues like this can be avoided in the future. I had 2 laser hair removal treatments here. While the service was nothing to write home about, the way this business handles its memberships is incompetent at best and shady at worst. I signed up for their LARGE LASER MEMBERSHIP, which is advertised on their website as having the benefits of "Any 1 Extra-Large Laser" and "Any 2 Large Laser" each month, with savings of $304/month and a retail value of $603 (screenshot below). Maybe I'm delusional, please let me know, but how is anyone supposed to interpret that wording as anything other than 1 extra large + 2 large services included? Even their own membership portal shows 3 separate coupons for these 3 services. I had my extra large laser with no issue, but when I came back for the 2 large services, the tech told me I actually had to choose between the extra large and 2 large services (?). I ended up having to cancel my appointment and go home. Their manager reached out via text and basically admitted that the wording on the website AND the membership portal is misleading, and that I actually did have to choose between the 2 options. I asked for a refund because I wouldn't have purchased the membership had the terms been clearly stated. Of course, they refused. At this point, I've given up on trying to get a refund. I don't have the time or energy to keep going back and forth with these people. I'm posting this as a PSA for anyone considering signing up for any of their laser memberships: ask a lot of questions before giving them your money.
