My husband and I each had massages yesterday. Mine was ok, the girl's technique wasn't the best…read morebut not the worst, either. My husband's was TERRIBLE. In his words, "I think she was a college girl they pulled in off the street. She had no technique." We have had massages all over the world, and there is nothing worse than spending a lot of money for a massage from someone inadequately trained! We realize good therapists may be hard to find, but ISLAND, but it's far worse to deceive. Rather than hire just anyone to fill a spot, be honest and say you can't always accommodate.

The ambiance is very coastal and relaxed. There are a lot of salt lamps, including a really large one and a small night light. Those were cool to look at while we waited.

Olga spent a long time understanding my issues, symptoms and concerns and immediately formulated a plan for treatment. She provided me not only with a plan for acupuncture, but also formulated an herbal treatment and gave me a list of other holistic recommendations. If you are fearful of trying acupuncture, they are very skilled, calm and continuously check to make sure you are comfortable. Highly recommended.

My mother has a multitude of medical problems, deaf in one ear, cochlear implant in the other ear with dementia. Rusty went the extra mile to make my mother comfortable. He has the patience of a saint. Happens be I had to pick my grandson up from school around the corner and I had told my mother to wait on me. When I got back Rusty was sitting and talking to my mother like a friend. This man is an Angel!!! My mother walked out happy, feeling better than she's felt in a long time and ready to go back! She said her massage made her pain level drop, she was completely comfortable with Rusty (which if you knew my mother that takes a lot) and she was glad I had talked her into trying a massage. Thank You Rusty!!!!

I have been going to Melinda's off and on over the last few years. Have always been satisfied until…read morea few weeks ago. I've gotten pedicures there recently and decided to try their hair stylist. I was given a name Frankie and proceeded to schedule an appointment. Before the appointment, I showed her a photo of my desired style. She looked over it several times and guided me to shampoo station where she pushed my head and hair around way too harshly and without much care as to how it felt. When I said, "hey, slow down", she responded, "we're either a good fit, or not!" Hmm? The cut was exactly the opposite of what I had asked for, after asking to see the photo several times. Now, I will say that it was in no way the cut I requested but the worst part was after going there for a pedicure and mentioning my displeasure to my pedi person about the haircut and she agreed there was no similarity between the photo and my hair. No problem. It's not the first haircut that I got where I wasn't satisfied. And because of Frankie's (Trish?) attitude at the appointment, I didn't dare go back and complain. All that being said, I attempted to make another Pedi appointment and was told they were not accepting appointments for me. No explanation, nothing, just no appointment for me! So, hopefully, the owner,Melinda is reading this and will explain where their professionalism came from. Thanks for listening. I just received a response from Melinda on my post. None of what she said was in any way accurate. The desk person stated that all she knew was that she was not allowed to schedule me AND at the time I was getting the cut, there were a total of one other client and Liz in the entire salon when I was there and the only person who said anything negative was the stylist. I was too shocked to speak. I in no way complained about the cut to her, but it was mentioned to Liz who had referred me to the stylist, when I was there a week later.
