First time experience today. Massage and facial. It was simple and fine. Likely not a spa I will return to, though. For me, an experience is what matters so much at these places. I asked for a glass of wine. The technician said she had to ask management. Odd. She came back and kindly told me that after my facial and after my massage, only then, would they be able to give me a glass of wine. That, again, seemed odd, as a nice glass of wine would seem to be part of the relaxation experience. Why give it to the client before they got back into their car to drive? Regardless, I agreed, of course. I wanted to see their follow through, so I never mentioned it again. I spent $110. I was never provided that glass of wine. It s the little things....
The massage wasn t anything notable. Just fine. I asked for deep/hard pressure. The person they put me with was nice, but didn t apply the hard pressure I wanted all too much. Before the massage began the massage technician turned on the bright house lights and unscrewed the legs of the table to adjust the height. It took away from the dim/relaxed experience and was a bit strange as I stood there and just waited. I have no problem waiting, but it seems this should have already been done before I was greeted and ushered in.
Again, it s simple. It s lower priced than many places. They run specials. Nothing too noteable, from my perspective.
If I could do it again I would skip the facial (nothing to do with the tech) and just do the cheapest massage option offered. It was not much of a massage. Nothing at all like others I have had in the past, I m sorry to say.
