Let's start off by saying that you are not just paying for whatever service you're getting (whether it be a facial or a massage or something else), you're paying for the experience of this place. This is an actual spa, not just a waiting room before your treatment. The staff is extremely friendly and great at what they do. I got a gift card for my birthday and they knew that and wished me a happy birthday!

I received a renewal massage with my husband. I opted for just an upper body massage because that's where I felt like I needed it the most. My husband received the full body massage which he was nervous about but ended up loving. The pressure was perfect, the music and aromatherapy was relaxing, and the warm towels they place on your back and feet are freaking heavenly. My husband even agreed! He has an old sports injury in his upper back and they worked on and around it without irritating it.

Let me walk you through this experience. You walk in and check in. They take you to either the women's or the men's side. They set you up with a locker which includes slippers and a bathrobe. You put those on and lock up your belongings. You go to this dimly lit, warmed by a fireplace, quiet, relaxation room for about 30 minutes to unwind before your treatment. Then you get pulled into your massage and go back to this room again afterwards. After all this you get to go to the dry sauna or the massaging showers (there's like 6 shower heads in this thing!!) or you can do both. They let you stay as long as you want afterwards to soak everything up. It's awesome.
