I was introduced to a Rolfer, Kate Spaulding, who started me on a 10 session body integration series. Even after the first session I experienced immediate relief.

Kate seems very experienced tp make such a change in my body--she's brought extraordinary relief and well being so that now I can take better care of myself.

I took some time off work and just returned from a 6 hour road trip. My shoulders were killing me! I just left her magical studio feeling so much relief, extremely relaxed, and just feeling lighter overall. I remembered falling asleep a few times during the session. During the reiki, I completely surrendered and literally felt like I was floating in air. Fe is a very talented body worker. She knew exactly what I needed for this session, and I cannot wait to book more in the future. The personalized aromatherapy was a nice touch. As well as the warm pillow she placed under my neck. Parking was easy to find and instructions to access the studio was easy to follow. Her studio is nice and clean and bright and airy. It is such an amazing place to go for relaxation and healing.

After my first session with her, I booked for the rest of the year - 90 minute hot stone sessions once a month. That is 90 minutes of "me" time where I can put away my day-to-day life and indulge in pampering myself. She has various essential oils available for aromatherapy if you want an uplifting, relaxing, or grounding session, making for a very delicious experience. I also book her periodically for facial services, which leaves my skin looking fresh and feels one hundred times better afterward. Going forward, I am into my fourth year with Fe and my sessions are booked for the remainder of the year!

Like many others on this yelp chain, I have been coming to this place for a decade. It has recently…read morechanged to "Ripple Spa" and apparently it's under new management. The woman, her daughter, and her dog were there. The dog was very loud and barked a lot. Apparently I led the charge because when I got there, there was no one - and in the matter of the hour, I counted four people coming in, and I stopped counting at six interruptions in my massage when she had to go and answer the phone, talk to people in the lobby, get people settled in another room. And every time she answered the phone she told people to come down because it's not busy.... I could have forgiven all of that, and I might have even come back because historically the price has been right. The $50 massage, $10 tip, not bad for someone with no Massage training. But when I was leaving, she stopped me and asked me for $30 tip. She pointed to a new sign that they have that says that a good massage is $20 tip and a great massage is $30... and I'm wondering why would I pay 60% on a substandard massage that was interrupted 6+ times... I leave both excellent and not so excellent reviews here. Unfortunately, today was not so excellent. Would definitely not recommend because you'll be incredibly disappointed, if not incensed! :(

It felt like she was just going through the motions. Not really hitting the right spots. The quality of the massage did not match the price. My experience was worth $50-$60 if that. It was cold in the room but I noticed they had a small space heater in the room which helped. Until I heard someone come in. She stopped the massage to help them then proceeded to unplug and take the space heater out to put in another room I'm guessing. Which I'm sure it took up some of my massage time. As we finished she left the room and I got my things together and started to walk out. I saw her helping someone as I was leaving and she stopped me to ask for a tip. Although I feel like the massage didn't deserve one, I tipped her a little because she asked.... Almost a week has passed now and I have already had 2 strains in my back. I am 25, this does not happen. She really fucked up my back. I love to support small businesses but in my opinion, if you are going to be in the holistic healing field....make sure you know what you're doing.

Not only the masseuse didn't do what I asked as far as pressure was concerned, she ended the session 4mins early. She also demanded I give her tip so I told her I would have to come back after I find a bank to get cash out. When I asked her to break a 20, she assumed I will give her $5 tip by giving me a 10 and 2 fives. To make matters worse, she didn't speak English so I couldn't understand what she was saying. The front person who took my payment initially finally came to my rescue and I explained to her the situation. The masseuse excuse was that she was sweating already and did the best she can. I feel bad in a way but I expected an honest service and if you can't provide it get someone that could. I wouldn't come back here for sure.

I've only been to the location in Richmond which is far from a spa style although they do try to…read morecreate a relaxing atmosphere. I went for waxing and I can say CHERRY IS GREAT! I've never had anyone design my brows as she did. I recommended my mom who loved the lash extensions & became a frequent client. I also got my friend in the loop who loved the facial & body waxing. HOWEVER, you cannot go to just anyone in the shop & get the same treatment! When others besides the owner did mom's lashes it turned out awful. They looked all funky & weird; she had to go back to get them fixed. Then she stopped going. My friend & I both tried someone other then Cherry for waxing & the waxer missing spots on my friend and I had to point out that my brows were uneven. The specialists agreed and promptly fixed it. But shouldn't they had caught these things? This was summer/fall last year so maybe things are better now. I was going to try it again this year but I called & left a msg & no one ever got back to me. I never complained to them so they had no reason to not call back. It seems that their good but not on consistancy. Preceed cautiously and know your specialists!

My eyelash extensions, however, came off in about 2 weeks taking my real lashes with them. It would have been helpful to get some instruction on the best way to care for them. The long process of having the lashes applied was done in what appeared to be a garden lounge chair in a small cinder block room. Not very luxurious or relaxing and definitely not like most spas I've been to. Overall, I think the staff is nice, but I won't be going back. Perhaps, the Hayward location is nicer.

On the day of my appointment, I filled out a form noting any of my skin concerns and any conditions that could affect my skin. I informed Melody that it was my first time having a facial, and she asked if I wanted her to talk through each of the steps she was going through or if I wanted total relaxation. Given it was my first time, I preferred to have Melody talk me through what was going on. Throughout the entire process, I felt relaxed and comfortable. Melody appears very well versed in what she's doing. Overall, I had a great experience. Of course, my face was a bit red afterwards from the extractions, but after a couple days my face was feeling and looking a lot better than before.

What reminded me to post it was another compliment on my beautiful skin that I just received from a total stranger while waiting in a doctor's office. I'm in my early 70's. I don't look it. Yah, some of that is genes but a lot is due to care. I *know* a good facial; I've had many over the years. Most are mediocre, or just adequate, or suffer from a poorly designed environment. The two times I found incredible estheticians, I saw each for years (until I couldn't bc of location/life changes), even though they were rather stern (imagine a brusque Russian affect ). Melody Marigny is *top notch*. I'd go to her even if she *was* a grumpy Slav bc of her skill - but she's not: she is lovely! And so is her comfy, clean studio. (And boy is her complexion gorgeous! She knows how to maintain!)

I gave her full trust, letting her choose whatever color she thought would look best and hoped for the best, she was VERY excited to accept the challenge and went to work mixing custom colors for me from her organic line. She actually used 3 colors which were all amazing together and really complimented my skin tone, giving me a much more natural healthy look with an amazing shine that I have never been able to achieve. She finished with a great haircut sprucing up my layers flattering my face more than they had before. This was about a week ago now, my hair feels amazing and I have gotten compliment after compliment for the color. Before Kimberly started on my hair I was treated to an AMAZING facial by Selina... one I have not stopped talking about for a week. I have never been more relaxed during any pampering treatment, and I have had a lot. I think if it lasted any longer I may have fallen asleep. All in all this was a wonderful afternoon, in addition to the great outcome I really enjoyed my time spent at Thrive. Kimberly and Selina are really sweet and made me feel right at home, I was served tasty tea and got cozy in the soothing atmosphere Kimberly has set up. As you can probably guess based on my lengthy review, I am kinda in love with Thrive and will most certainly become a regular as well as refer any friend in need to come here!

I originally went in for a different treatment, but the worker C recommended the QiQi treatment, something I had never heard of before.

I also trusted them and bought the expensive shampoo they recommended, even though I had never heard of it before. In my experience, the quality was very disappointing, and I regret spending money on it too. They agreed to redo my treatment at no charge, and I gave them plenty of time and opportunities to fix the situation. I called, messaged, and followed up, but now I'm getting no response. I really did not want to leave a negative review, but after giving them so many chances to make things right and hearing nothing back, I feel completely comfortable sharing my experience.

I did tell them I got my hair done overseas and didn't. know the color. They didn't inform me that my hair was too dark and it would not show on my roots. For the application, the stylist got color spots all over my face. It was probably one of the messiest applications I've ever experienced. Then, when I asked to be re-seen to get my hair done since it looked like nothing had been done to my roots, they tried to convince me that I NEEDED bleach to lighten my hair (which would've cost me additional hundreds of dollars). Mind you, I have a dark brown hair color. Some time has passed and I've consulted multiple hair stylists and they all confirmed I DO NOT need bleach to get my roots the same color. When I complained to the owner, she said I needed to wait for the sun to lighten my hair?? Which is completely absurd. 2 months later and to no shock, my roots aren't lighter. I unfortunately would not recommend or be returning.
