My first experience here was spectacular. 5 stars. I got a prenatal massage with Jane. They had a…read morepregnancy pillow that I flipped around with me when I changed sides. It was blissful. My second experience - I booked in advance again with Jane. Someone from the spa called me to change my time 30 minutes later - no problem. I get there and I'm taken to the massage room. First problem, my therapist was NOT Jane. I was not notified on the call that the therapist was not available- wasn't even mentioned. Fine, I thought it would be ok to try someone else. The massage was sub par - didn't seem like they knew how to position me (prenatal) I had to ask for pillows for support. They used a pregnancy pillow that was tucked in with a sheet. Didn't flip the pillow around when I needed to switch sides. Overall not a good experience. I think I'm being generous with three stars. Only because that first experience with Jane was heavenly. Took off one star for the 2nd bad experience, and another star for not letting me know in advance that the therapist was not available. Really wanted to like this place. :(

Priscila is the best! Hands down and no contest!…read more I'm a full time student/intern/assistant/receptionist which means I spend a LOT of time in chairs and desks. My back, neck, and shoulders were really feeling the toll of sitting at different heights and having different ranges of lumbar support. Traveling from place to place doesn't help either. I decided it's time to seek therapy. I stumbled upon Priscila via Yelp. According to her reviews, she is very good at her work. I went to her website to see her services. Wow!!! I'm amazed at the services and prices! You really can't beat them!! Super affordable and exactly what I was looking for! So I contacted her via email for a two hour deep tissue massage. This woman deserves a prize for her work. The first thing she did was to ask what my situation was and where I needed the most attention. After explaining she gives you time to get comfortable and makes sure that you are relaxed for what comes next. She knows the body very well and was able to locate all of the knots and troubled areas. The piano music and oils she used just added to the pure release of pain and pressure in my back and neck area. She even found spots in my arms and hips that I had no idea were so stressed! Shows how little I knew about my own body and shows her expertise. By the time she finished, I was completely relaxed and a lot of my pain was gone! After the massage was over, she took the time to make sure I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. I was pretty tender in my low back but she explained that she did go pretty deep to work out the knots. She gave me advice on how to relieve some of my everyday pains. Discounts for SDSU students and staff!!! Definitely would recommend her for anyone and everyone! Thank you so much!!!

I called for an appointment to have a Swedish massage. It was on the 2nd floor in a weird spot that…read moreisn't easy to find. I asked if they knew how to do a Swedish massage as advertised and was told yes. As I was getting a massage, it didn't feel like my normal Swedish massage, so I asked if she knew how to do Swedish. She said that she doesn't but can do an Asian massage but that wasn't what I wanted. Why did they already say that they could do it when they couldn't? Since I already paid, there was nothing that I could do. It was ok but not what I asked for. They also charged an extra $2 for using my credit card. I probably won't return because I didn't get what I asked for. There are so many places to choose from and you need to listen to the customer.

Honestly, I keep telling myself I'll stay awake for the full 90 minutes one day, but I always end up dozing off because she's that good. I wake up every time feeling refreshed and recharged.

My massage therapist was open to feedback when I asked for more or less pressure as she worked on my body. The prices are average for a massage in this area.

Had an appointment for me and my mom to get gel manis/pedis (we purchased Groupons) but I waited 40…read moreminutes before anyone could start on my mani or pedi. Then felt rushed when the next customer arrived (who also waited 30+ minutes). Only one person working on us at a time so whole appointment took 2 hours. Language barrier didn't help.... I wanted to pay for an extra service to add strength back to my nails (I came in with acrylic and gel polish). They don't do acrylic, said that gel-x was only for extensions, but then didn't offer anything else for nail structure, so I left with horribly thin nails after all the dremmeling. Now the gel polish is chipping after only a couple days. Won't be returning. It was also warm in the salon which made the wait very uncomfortable for me. Bummed about this experience because they did have very pretty gel polish colors. **and in response to the owner's reply to my review - no we were not told the gel would chip because of our nails being thin. My mom came in with dip powder and instead of soaking the powder off, they filed it off so it made her nails thinner than normal. And I was happy to pay extra for something to add strength to my nails. They could have offered a builder gel which I guess is a common material used for this. I asked about gel-x but the owner said it was only for extensions, when it could have easily been filed short since I prefer shorter nails. No reason why these services couldn't have been added on since the Groupon just included the gel manicure. We were already paying extra to have the old gel/dip/acrylic removed.
