I's self employed and am pretty much always stressed out. I had not been to a spa "recently". Used to go often though, forgot why I stopped, just too busy I guess . A client gave me a very genrous gift certificate for this place so I went. It was a cool experience. Very cool decor, fun and modern. I was expecting a sauna but they didn't have one. The "rainsoaker" shower was nice though. The front desk was good, not great but professional and the girl there was working pretty hard. The services I had were 5 star. Relaxed to some nice chilled piano tunes by moby (very cool) during my 80 min massage with Julia. I like deep tissue and she really knew what she was doing. I felt so amazing after the service. Went back a week later to use up the rest of the certificate got a facial and a brazilian with Asya that blew me away. She really knows her stuff. Every layer of product smelled nice and uplifting with a citrus kind of scent that put me in a nice mood. My skin was a little pink after the exfoliation and looks great. She sent me home with some free product line samples. I really liked their body butter and lemon cleanser. Gift certificate is almost gone so i'm going in tomorrow for some products and a chair massage with Julia again.
Oh yeah..they have special deals going on and the microderm facial that was 1/2 off! Too cool. WArning, parking is tough but there is a garage at sac & clay, or way down at the kabuki theather parkaing garage and then take a nice stroll up fillmore street. Had not been in that hood in a long time (starting to look like Soho) a new Eileen fisher, Marc Jacobs and a cool new clothing store where Jim Elle used to be. Nice street but Jamba juice is gone..probably could not afford the rent ..looks like this hood is movin up.
Pros: talented therapists, cool music nice ambiance
Cons: tough parking
