My massage by Liz was amazing. She is who you want to book for deep tissue. Sadly, she cut the massage short by like 5-6 minutes so that was a bummer since the massage price also includes the 23% tip! That can be negotiated at request but I chose not to, just sucks that I was in the locker room before the 50 minutes was even up with still time to go. The pool was glorious and clean. I recommend getting there early to grab a comfy chair by the pool. They offer a food and beverage menu at the pool with pool service and delivery service but it's a whopping $9.00 on top of your food/drink to be delivered. I opted for both pool service and walking to the restaurant myself to make an order since it's just a few minute walk away on site. There were a couple of kids there towards the end but it was really nice not having them for the entirety as it's definitely more of an adult crowd who wants to relax vs bring your whole family to the pool- at least the day I went. I would go again for the day pass but would probably pass on the massage just because it's soo pricy.

She has many years of experience and you can tell in the way she does the massage. I came in one time with a stiff neck that I couldn't move. I slept on it really wrong and was in an incredible amount of pain. She helped treat me and provided me so much relief. She is very accommodating and attentive to my needs and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. They offer a discount on Mondays for locals and also a monthly subscription plan. Getting consistent massages is key and I highly recommend seeing Alicia. Parking can be tricky on a busy day and the spa is downstairs from International Cafe. The spa is small but cozy and clean. They also have a red light sauna which was amazing.

I wanted to update my previous review. I ended up reaching out to the salon because my hair really…read morewas upsetting me and did not reflect a balayage color style at all. The salon was very quick to reply to my email and gave me a call. They asked what I was unhappy about with my hair and they completely understood and were very apologetic. They thanked me for reaching out and wanted to do whatever was needed so I was happy with my hair and experience. They booked me with the owner, Katlyn. I went in today and she was very kind, knowledgeable, and asked me multiple questions about my hair and what my goals were, so she could fix what I didn't like. She also had two people shadowing her, so she was able to explain exactly what she was doing to correct my hair which was helpful, because I was interested as well. Katlyn showed enthusiasm during my visit and was very professional. She was personable and friendly. I was only there for an hour and a half but I had such a nice experience, it honestly felt much quicker because she and the girls helping her were so engaging. I will say my experience was lightyears different than my initial experience. I am very happy with my hair and I offered to tip Katlyn for her time, but she refused and really appeared like she was happy to have helped me. Overall, I would actually recommend coming here and I will likely come back.

I wanted to love my experience with Jenna at Evolve, especially for a $100 blowout before an…read moreimportant life event, but it honestly felt very cold and rushed. I mentioned I was getting ready for a special occasion and there was basically no conversation, energy, or effort to make the experience feel enjoyable or personalized. The styling itself also felt underwhelming. I was told my hair probably wouldn't hold, and only a very light amount of hairspray/product was used. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I could have achieved the same result at home myself. At this price point, I expected more attention to detail, warmth, and overall service.

Absolutely love Tatiana's massage therapy and have to give a shout out to Brandi and CC…read more Brandi gives the best most soothing facials and I always look years younger when I leave her. The products are light and effective. She's gentle and gives a great upper body massage. For full body massage, my personal favorite is CC, but honestly, I've tried several different therapists and it's always been very good. The salon keeps the prices reasonable and I love this because it gives me room to tip the therapists really well. It's really a win-win for everyone. Last I have to talk about the owner, who is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. She works really hard to meet the needs of everyone and if you're ever not satisfied, she will rectify it immediately. We are so lucky to have this business in town.

I wasn't ever planning to leave this review, but Tatiana is using some automated service that…read moretexted me twice in the past two days asking for a review even though I was a one-time customer literally 6 years ago. I also wasn't even the recipient of the massage -- I had bought a gift certificate to Tatiana's Massage for a family member. Nevertheless I was reminded of my bad experience and am annoyed enough from getting spam texts to finally leave this review. My family member told me the massage was really weird, and they were almost certain that Tatiana was texting on her phone throughout a large portion of it. They said they thought they were going crazy because what massage therapist has the audacity to do that, but they were face down or otherwise couldn't see to confirm during the massage. They just repeatedly felt her attention drift away from the massage as she kept shifting to only using one hand. Then, after the massage, they were exchanging pleasantries before my family member left, and they said she seemed to get a notification on her phone and pulled it out from her apron to look at it DURING their exit conversation. They said that confirmed it that she must have been texting during the massage and they were not in fact imagining it. Tatiana seemed nice during my brief interaction with her when I was purchasing the gift card, but based on my family member's experience I would not recommend this service. It seems her practice has grown and there are other massage therapists working for her now. So maybe they won't be on their phones if you book with them, but as the owner she lacks integrity. There are tons of other great massage therapists in the area who actually deserve your business.

She has been involved in…read morethe health and beauty business for over twenty years, and she offers a wide variety of services and products to her clients. Aubrey is by far the most knowledgable beauty expert I've ever met, and I appreciate her passion for using botanical ingredients of the highest quality. She is warm and charming, and she'll instantly put you at ease to make your experience unforgettable. Aubrey's specialty is making incredible-smelling, powerfully effective facial treatment oils. She crafts organic hydrosols as well. Some of my favorite Chez Aubrey products include the rejuvenating jojoba oil and the array of unique hydrosols that Aubrey crafts with her steam distiller. I absolutely love the Neroli Hydrosol Mist and fabulous "Mountain Spirit" hydrosol that Aubrey describes as "heaven meets earth"! It contains wild flowers, herbs and trees sourced from the Northern California coastal forests. "Mountain Spirit" helps me with my anxiety, insomnia and itchy skin. What's particularly unique about Aubrey's day spa is its spectacular setting in nature. Clients can plan their day to visit Chez Aubrey, check out the nearby hot springs at the famous Tassajara Zen Center, and do some wine tasting and hiking, perhaps ending their day with a meal at one of the area's fabulous restaurants. Chez Aubrey is the epicenter of a true, vacation spot. There are lots of charming bed and breakfasts surrounding her spa as well. Treat yourself with a visit to the best esthetician in the Central Coast. I promise you won't regret it!
