Kamalaspa Day Spa and Salon

The concept, the place, the treatments are all great but I agree with another reviewer who mentioned rude staff. I sent my girlfriend in who had a good time. The last spa we hit before Kamalaspa was at The Fairmont in Banff, Alberta - Canada.. where they import the healing waters from Hungary.. so we are not neophytes to the spa scene. Kamalaspa sounded really promissing until I ran into the following problems: -they screwed up the bill even after I spoke at length with them (twice) -they never offered an apology and made it seem like it happened frequently. -when i told her i was upset she disagreed with me and we started quarelling.. I was treated rudely and unprofessionally and I was just paying for it.. All I know is that the afterglow of a massage can be easily ruined by rude, unaccomodating staff. Spend your money elsewhere. more

My girlfriend gets her hair cut at Kamalaspa, raves about it, and begged for me to get her a spa package. I figured I'd try it out to make sure the spa was "worthy" of a gift for her. I got a "four-hands" massage and it was awesome - two massage therapists at once. I can't recommend it enough. Simply awesome. Needless to say, I got her a gift certificate. The decor is perfect. Very elegant and very Indian. There's a really ncie waiting area overlooking Union Square. The staff was also very prompt and professional. It's definitely a high-end spa, but the prices are not through the roof. I've had worse massages in SF for more money, but I haven't had a better massage...ever. Pros: Four-Hands Massage, Atmosphere, Value more

Walking in, it is like an oasis of calm and beauty in a hectic world. The venue is sumptous and beautiful with dark carved wood and incredible exotic drapery. I had the four-hands massage with Murray and G. You can't really concentrate on what both people are doing and have to just let go and relax into it..... And it sweeps you away. The two massuers were incredibly in-sync and their togetherness was so relaxing. The foot, abdomen, and face massages are not often done in regular massages and were soooooo good! I had a wonderful steam bath to finish which was the icing on the cake. Afterwards, wrapped in a fuzzy robe, sipping champagne in the relaxing tea room, I didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this experience, if you have a couple of hundred bucks to pamper yourself. more
