I received a gift certificate for a mani-pedi, massage and facial. Before I went, I read some mixed…read morereviews, which made me unsure of my visit, so I wanted to give my honest opinion. My manicure and pedicure were superb. I think the manicurist's name was Kathlyn, but it was one of the better experiences I had had in a good long time. Very satisfied by the outcome. The massage was very good, a solid experience from somebody on the first encounter. (I think masseuses get better as they get to know what you need). But my facial, from the owner, was exceptional. I decided to upgrade my selection while there, and I'm on day two, and it looks spectacular. While I was there, I was also given a complimentary brief visit in the salt room. I had read about them before but this was my first chance to experience it, and it was very cool. Not sure I was in there long enough to experience any benefits but it was soothing and stimulating overall. In any case, I feel confident recommending the place after my experience, and I do plan to return. Staff was professional, facilities were lovely (not as stuffy as some other local spas), overall a great experience for me.

I will start by saying, I have been to other LaVida locations before and they're all not like this…read more I've been to several other massage places and they're more attentive. Maybe I just got a bad masseuse this time, so in that case I highly don't recommend Pam at this location in Livonia. I get to LaVida at 2:10 for my 2:15 appointment on Monday December 23, 2024. I finish their intake form in 1 minute because I sped through the whole thing, not wanting to waste any time. I wasn't picked up from the masseuse till 2:21, please fact check the cameras there to show that accuracy, because I know I'm right about that. Which means, by the time the masseuse is done talking to me and I take off all my clothes and lay in the bed, I'm not getting massaged till 2:30. The whole time I'm in the bed she's telling me that I'm stiff and I need to stretch or my soreness won't go away. I tell her I don't like my armpits touched, and the area right above my butt is always tickly so I don't like that touch either. I tell her both things she gives me attitude both times, saying things like "It's tickly here because it's tight. So you don't want me to massage this?" Like no woman I said what I said don't touch me there. She spends just as much time on my arms and legs as she did on my back.. So what was the point of me even doing the intake form? Not to mention she probably spent a good 15 minutes just putting on lotion, and doing whatever she was doing because it wasn't massaging me. She turns me around, rubs my shoulders for about 2 minutes and then tells me she's done. It's 3:15 on the dot.. I am fully clothed and in the lobby by 3:19. How is it that I pay for a 60 minute massage but I'm fully clothed and out before the time they even brought me to the room. Again, go ahead and watch your cameras and see when I come out back. Check it, please. So not only did you shorten my time, but you didn't do what I asked you to, which was focus on my upper back. They did take off $30, which I will check our bank statements to see, however this was a waste of my time.. I'm not saying don't come here. I'm saying don't come here and get Pam as a masseuse. Let's see if they rectify the situation because this is unacceptable.

When you see the guard desk in the building you do have some reservations. However, I have to say my massage therapist, named Alyssia, was very good. She was skilled and really focused on what areas I told her were hurting. I use both exercise & massage as my form of stress relief, if I'm lucky it's in that order. But I'm currently under a lot of stress and so I've had 2 massages with Alyssia in the past 2 months and I have already scheduled a 3rd. My experiences have been better than the other reviewers, but it seems that it depends entirely on who you schedule to do the massage.
