I get regular massages and facials here. The Esthetician, Shirlette, is awesome! Her knowledge of skin and the health of skin has made a world of difference in my appearance. Must people think I have on foundation, but I'm all natural because of her skin care. She never over sales you and she provides a complete spa experience. I can't say enough about her! read more

When I called to make the appointment, I was having a severe breakout and stressed that I wanted a facial with extractions. I was told all of the facials include extractions. When the facial got started, however, the esthetician (SQ) said my acne was too inflamed to do extractions in the areas of the breakouts, but that she'd do them elsewhere. They should have told me that was a possibility when I made the appointment. She did do some extractions elsewhere, but really not as many as she should have. She had even referred to doing them on my chin, but I noticed she never did any extractions at all on my chin. I got home, looked in the magnifying mirror and saw the same clogged pores. While the machine was steaming me, she was cleaning and said something about needing to keep everything especially clean because of COVID. Good, but I'd kinda think this would be done at the very end, after I leave. Later, I noticed the room was very quiet as she was sitting out of view, and then I noticed the faint "bump-bump" sound of text messages being exchanged. She did do an arm massage later, but I feel like the entire time should be used on client care. I was also surprised that she didn't know what hydroquinone patches were or the term dermatillomania. Maybe the second one I can understand if she knew the layman's term instead (though you'd think an expert in skin care would still know it), but hydroquinone patches would seem to be a common item in discussing acne with clients. I don't think English is her first language, either, so even basic communication resulted in her misunderstanding me. It was very frustrating. I will look elsewhere for my next facial. If I can't find a better place locally, I'll request someone else next time. Oddly enough, on my way out I was interested in buying some skincare products or at least learning about them. I asked if they had a brochure on the Dermalogica product line, and they said no. What a missed opportunity for the business. I probably would have bought something if anyone had giving me info or even asked if I needed help or if I was looking for an item in particular. I was the only client present, and the women at the desk weren't on the phone. The pros were that staff was friendly, the place was clean and had a beautiful ambience, there was a nice product/shop area with things I wanted to buy (nice essential oil diffusers!), the esthetician wore a mask and seemed conscientious about cleanliness, and the price of the facial was on the low side compared with similar shops nearby. read more

There TRIPLE CHARGED MY CARD. YA.. Let me just leave that there and let it sink in. I had ONE appointment and they keep charging me!!!!!!! On 3 separate days!!!!! So be VERYYY careful with this business. Do NOT LET THEM take your card number. This is the 3rd time they have just taken money out of my bank account when they feel like it. How is this possible?!!!!! Now I have 2 overdraft fees because of them let alone the hassel of calling them to get my money back!!!!!!! Unbelievable read more

I went to Shireen for a facial. I wanted to fix my acne issues I've been having lately. It was such a huge help! my face feels so so so much better! She also helped me pick products so that my skin will stay nice! if you go to La Vida ask for Shireen. read more

I've been here on a handful of occasions and continue to return for lack of many other options that can accommodate me at short notice given my busy work schedule. I've had a different masseuse on each occasion and they were each adequate. I did feel better after my massages but never relieved of pain which I did feel when I used to get massages on the west coast. I also feel like in the time allotted for a 1 hour massage they could get to more treatment areas-especially the head. That's often my favorite part of a massage and at this location the masseuse never gets to it. This is also one of the pricier massage parlors in town, especially after including gratuity. One thing I do like is the ambiance. As soon as I walk in the door I smell the aromatherapy and their seating area is quite comfortable. The massage rooms are the perfect temperature (once they turn on the bed warmer) and the lighting is perfect. The rooms are also very quiet- I hate it when you can hear traffic or people talking loudly while trying to relax! read more

I've been coming here for a good year now after trying different places for deep tissue sports massages. One thing to remember is that it is the massage therapist who really makes a difference. Each person has a slightly different style, and one size does not fit all. The business itself is clean, the ambience relaxing and the staff has never been anything than professional. I can book appointments with my favorite massage therapist quickly and easily using their app or by calling. Check out their monthly subscription program. It's definitely worth it! read more

I booked my appointment online and within minutes they had contacted me via text to confirm my appointment time. When you walk in you find a clean, calm and refreshing space. The receptionist was very nice and I got checked in quickly and easily. I had an amazing massage with Elise G. She listened to everything I said, and checked in with me just enough to make us both feel confident it was going amazingly well. She is very skilled and relieved my back spasm that was killing me as well as left my entire body relaxed and rejuvenated. I loved that Elise didn't mind I didn't talk much (although if you like to talk, I'm sure she's an excellent conversationalist). I highly recommend this place and will be back the next time I'm in town! read more

As an individual who lives a pretty active lifestyle, my muscles tend to get quite tight, which in return has led to horrible injuries. After speaking to my physical therapist about how to prevent these sports related injuries from happening, he recommended regular deep tissue massages and stretching regular. After going to multiple spas in search for a new massage therapist, I am so happy I have found LaVida Massage of Grand Blanc. First, I want to begin by stating how incredibly CLEAN the place is! The spa looks appealing, is really relaxing, and most importantly, is very welcoming! I was also pleased with how kind every staff member is each time I go in. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My massage therapist takes the time to ask questions and learn about any new aches and pains to ensure I leave happy. After regular visiting LaVida Massage of Grand Blanc for massages, I have found that I not only feel better, but I have noticed the massages have reduced my inflammation and increased my range of motion and flexibility! While I have not gotten a facial from LaVida yet, the staff listened to my concerns regarding my skin and recommended a few products that have transformed my skin from head to toe! My skin has never been so smooth, bright, and hydrated! I highly recommend LaVida Massage is Grand Blanc for your next massage and skin care needs! read more

I had hauled 40 lb. bags of mulch earlier and my back was a little sore so it was nice that my masseuse, Jean, asked if there were any spots that needed extra attention. She not only loosened up my lower back muscles but also worked on my tight hamstrings. A great massage with a few peppermint whiffs in-between! read more

Great atmosphere, great therapist & reasonable. Open everyday. Great hours. Very clean and smells of Eucalyptus. Love the massage by John, hit all the right spots and did a stretch as well. They offer facials as well, which are lovely. The membership has lots of benefits.... read more

I called to make myself and my wife appointments for massage this afternoon. The woman that answered the phone was so rude and turned me off completely. We will never attempt to go there, since you only get one chance at a first impression and she blew it. read more

I scheduled an appointment for the first time here, I had full intentions of keeping this appointment but my husband called and told me that he wasn't going to make it home to watch the kids, so I had to cancel. I called two hours before I was scheduled to be there and was told they had to charge me 25.00 for canceling. My first visit there and they are already trying to charge me when I have ample time. I never went and I will never go, rude customer service... read more

I have been going to LaVida since they opened. Judi is my massage therapist. As long as people expect to make their appointment one week in advance and keep their appointment, they will not be disappointed. This is a professional, top-of-the-line clinic such as a doctor's office. They call to remind me of my appointments as well as email me. Right from the beginning I started as a V.I.P. It is the best relief for chronic neck and back pain. If possible, take a nice bath with Epsom salt, lavender essential oil and a body oil afterwards to help with the detox and natural pain experience. They have always treated me with professional courtesy. I give them a 5+ rating! read more

Friendly staff and Calm environment. This place is really clean and smells go good. The massage was so relaxing that I fell asleep. (My favorite types of massages. ) what else can you ask for?? The experience was excellent!! read more

My first visit with Judi was nice. I would have given 4 stars for that but my second visit was cut short. I got in around 7:35 and was laying there, waiting for the massage to start. it did not start till 7:50 or so but was wrapped up by 8:30. It seems their clock starts the moment they walk you toward the room. I would expect full 60 minutes of massage when paying the top $$. On the plus side, the person at the desk credited me for 1 massage when I called to cancel my membership with them. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but we went in for a couples massage and we both didn't like service. It was freezing and my hands were turning blue. I asked for heat therapy and I got a bio freeze like substance that made me even colder. I paid extra to freeze. This was not my first massage but my first at this location. The room was freezing. My bed was not heated. The therapist ask if I wanted a full body massage and I said "yes everything but my scalp". She only massaged my upper body and not even all of that. She never touched my legs. My partner had a bad experience also. It was freezing. She also didn't get a full body massage. The massage therapist kept scratching her with her nails and her bones kept cracking loudly so we felt so awful for the therapist. I'm so sad I wasted my time and money. Not to mention I am beyond sore this morning. read more

Very satisfied with my deep tissue massage! I'll definitely be back! I totally recommend this place! Staff is very friendly too! read more

I saw that there were some negative reviews so I felt compelled to write a review. I have been going here twice a month for a year now. I think this place is great. Everyone has been so kind, professional and it's clean, nice. I have had tons of massages at other places and the massages here are always very good. I love Scott and Diane. You won't be disappointed read more

This is my favorite place for massage and facials. I've been to others in the area but nothing compares in price and quality. They're so affordable. I bought the membership program and I pay $59 a month and get a massage every month. I used to pay no less the $85. I've also had a facial done twice so far and I'm in love with this my skin looks. I love that I'm able to use my membership interchangeably between facials and massages. Shirlet is the best! They have awesome therapists too. I've seen John and Judi so far and they've both been so nice and accommodating. They relived the pain I had in my shins due to running. The only down side is they're so booked. I've learned to make my appointments in advance before I leave. This way I'm in every single month no matter what!! The front desk is so friendly and knowledgeable too. So happy I found this place!! read more

Five stars for this place! It was my second visit and won't be my last. As soon as I waked in I felt so relaxed. They had salt lamps and essential oils everywhere. The girls at the front desk were very warm and friendly. The massage itself was just what I needed. My only regret was not getting a longer one. If I lived anywhere near there I would get a membership for sure. read more

I am so impressed by LaVida Massage in Grand Blanc! My experience was amazing from beginning to end! The staff is so friendly and professional, and the facility is really clean and up to date with their products and services. They were super accommodating and were able to get me in the same day! I got an hour massage with Nicole and she was AMAZING! My neck and shoulders were so tight and she got ALL of my knots out. She was very experienced in her field and really took her time on my massage. I walked out feeling like a brand new person! I loved it so much I bought a membership with them! I will definitely be back at LaVida Massage and can't wait to try more of their services! read more

I began coming here when I lived in Grand Blanc. My husband and I now reside in Lansing, MI and literally drive an hour to come here. We love all the therapists (Judy, in particular) and the ambiance is 100% spot on. It's dark, quiet , beautiful background music, heated beds if you like, and extremely reasonable pricing. I travel all over the US and I can say they really know what they're doing here! read more

I recently moved to the area and started seeing Michelle M. one time a month at this location. Oh my gosh she is amazing! She targets my trouble spots and relaxes me to the point that each time she has me flip onto my back I'm drooling and there's snot draining from my nose. Gross, I know but she is absolutely amazing! read more
