This place has the most horrendous customer service experience I've ever received in my life, and…read moreI've worked at a spa before. This is going to be detailed. When you walk in, if you come in after sundown, you have to walk down a long dimly lit pathway outside to enter. Inside, you'll find Elizabeth - probably the most argumentative and pushy front desk person I've ever encountered at a spa, raising her voice to talk to clients on the phone and I'll get to how she treated me later. My massage therapist was 10 minutes late to the start time and I arrived early, she had her AirPods in and couldn't hear me say anything and just kept repeating "sorry, 7:15" when my appointment was scheduled for 7:30 pm. I have had a horrible and stressful week and all I wanted to do was unwind and relax. Just wait for the rest. She led me through the main room which had people laying down for their massages completely not separated from each other and I had to walk even further to a room I was in, which was divided by thin draping and no door. You could hear every single ding from the microwave, every alarm on a phone, everyone talking basically three feet away from where you're laying in a compromising and undressed position. Absolutely ZERO privacy. Linda was HORRIBLE!!! Due to her having the AirPods in, she couldn't hear me when I said I was ready for the massage and I waited almost 10 unnecessary entire minutes for her to come back; the hallway was completely silent and I was just laying there. The massage therapist decided she would ignore all of my requests, and I expressly asked her not to massage my calves. She massaged them anyway and I almost had to move my leg quickly out of the way for her to stop. She clearly didn't understand a thing I was saying. She dropped oil, and I'm not joking, down the crack of my butt (I know) and took liberty upon herself to put her fingers inside a towel and wipe it. I really should've stopped it there but she kept insisting that she would continue and am I ok am I ok. I have a hard time being firm with strangers who are providing me a service, but she kept massaging areas that I told her were painful. Some guy outside the draping said "OH FUCK!" And he was quickly shushed, and I just had enough. I told her I didn't want to turn around, and then she put her fingers on the back of my scalp and dug into it, preventing me from moving, and massaged so hard that I still have a headache two hours later - she pinned me. Not only that, when she was done, I tried to get up and I was so dizzy I could barely stand and I was practically begging for her to leave me alone. She then got a massive soap bottle size of hand sanitizer and tried to put it on my arm, where I pointed to my tattoo and said loudly "NO. NEW TATTOO." Which I already told her before. It was like she was on drugs. When I was done, I was gaslit by the receptionist that none of what I was saying was true, that I was wrong and misunderstanding the entire situation and I stayed for the whole massage so I was responsible. I COULDNT MOVE BECAUSE MY HEAD WAS PINNED TO THE TABLE. I explained to her what happened and she denied every single thing I was saying. When I mentioned that I work in insurance and I've seen the spa on my client list before, she became incredibly aggressive and accused me of threatening her. All I was saying is that I was aware of the liability policies they have to protect clients, and I didn't have to sign a waiver. That's the biggest deal. No waiver. I just had to sign for my credit card, which they still charged a deposit and every single text reminder said BRING CASH! BRING CASH! It was so irritating. Anyways, i left with a pounding headache and feeling nauseated, when all I wanted was a decent massage and a good nights sleep. Avoid this place - it needs to be shut down, and fast. These people are scam artists.

Believe we did a couples massage + body scrub and full boy massage for somewhat around $500. The location is lovely and in a small little shopping area near a bunch of other little stores. Nice plant shop in there and had to get myself something. But much much to do around here and I got a few recommendations from the young lady at the front desk. When arriving we parked right by the entrance in the back and walked right in. Was greeted immediately and taken care of. Love the kindness of the ladies at the front and service was very fast. Filled out some paperwork and got right to it. Liliana who was servicing me for the day was a sweetheart from start to finish. She made me feel so comfortable and just knew her magic! I left the place just so relaxed and calm. I will definitely be returning back here for another service. It's very cozy and I love how it was very quiet and they did everything as I expected. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is around. You will love it and want to come back!

I like they had more time to get a massage but again if the massage starts at 10 and it's super dead and they are coming to get up from the lounge at 10 we still had to get situated in the room which obviously cut it to the massage If i go back it's only because they offer longer massage times but I wonder if it matters if they aren't coming to get you in time for your massage lol I would try it again but I'm probably raise this concern as it just a lot of money and consideration of time that should be had because if I was late they make it very clear it is what it is so to be on time and still feel like I was late was unacceptable The massage lady I had like fixed my toe she was freaking amazing I have big toe osteoarthritis and they way she got in there it was amazing I think I got a lymphatic massage I don't even know but OMG most people seem to want to avail the feet and it was like that was he specialty in fixing cricket creaky toes lol I was so impressed how she really massaged the joints and got in there and I was able to be pain free without a flower up for like a month It a sweet place over all we did get lost and directions were a bit confusing but once you find it you'll never forget ! I even stole the playlist music they were playing in the lunge to play at home !

The prices of their services includes the service fees! Not to discourage you to tip more if you're…read moreinclined to, but I liked that it is already included. Also included is the use of their spa facilities (hot tub, sauna and steam room). Don't forget to clear your schedule to make time before or after your services if you want to enjoy those amenities. Tip: grab a face towel and throughly soak in cold water to be able to enjoy it on your head before you go into the sauna room. This was a fun & relaxing experience to enjoy with some friends. We were able to hang out in the lounge, have a glass of champagne, some hot tea, hydrate with spa water, and enjoy some snacks. Yes the locker room has hair dryers (x4) but bring your own hair brush (they offer single use combs), and flat or curling iron if you want hot tools to style your hair. They do have hair spray, hair gel, and spray on deodorant. The downsides? The cold plunge is only in the men's locker room. Not available to women. And parking is NOT complementary and is an extra charge for all visitors and guests, even if you are staying overnight at the hotel.

It's really a special treat to see beautiful arts hanging on the wall of a local Bamboo Hair + Body. The location is convenient, right off Main Street of down town Half Moon Bay. I love the vibrant colors of her paintings. My photos do not reflect how unbelievable her creativity and her color work of her arts. I highly recommend to come and see her paintings with your own eyes. I appreciate her nature capture in still arts. I feel happy and inspired looking at her beautiful bright colorful paintings. Her creation is unique, special and rare! Her arts, especially those with the hummingbirds inspire me to love, to hope, and to be happy and creative. Her acrylic paintings on canvas, and Fence Chunks from recycled wood, which hang on walls, fences, gates and decks are marvelous!

I'm not someone who typically writes negative reviews, but this experience warrants one. This was,…read morewithout question, the worst manicure I've ever received (the photo speaks for itself). Even though the final result was visibly poor, I was still charged $45. The technician appeared inexperienced, as if he had never done a full set before. The nails were uneven, poorly applied, and frankly embarrassing. I had them removed as soon as possible, and just one week later my nails developed an infection ("greenies") -- something I have never experienced before -- clearly due to improper application and sanitation. To make matters worse, I was not offered or given a refund. I strongly recommend avoiding this salon. If zero stars were an option, that's what I would give.
