I started going to Sensia a good while back, not long after Cynthia Christ opened it. I first went because my favorite hair stylist, Richard Stratford Brown, went there to work. Soon I had an hour makeup session with Cynthia and then used he makeup line for years. Later she started the Japanese spa, which I had never tried.
Yesterday I went for a vitamin C facial by Michelle, deep tissue massage with hot rocks by Hugo, and manicure and pedicure by Angela. All but the manicure at the very end were done in the spa in the back, a place of subdued lighting with the lovely sound of the Japanese fountain in background. There was also music playing, but so softly that it did not intrude. Everyone working back there spoke very quietly. It was very easy to let go and relax there.
I have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. Michelle does a wonderful facial. I would go back to her in a heartbeat. Hugo is really good at the deep tissue massage. He does not miss anything. The hot rocks made the whole experience blissful. Angela helped me find the right colors for feet and hands and did a great job.
I have to say that another reason that I enjoyed the experience was that all three people made sure that I was comfortable and got what I wanted. It was a delightful, relaxing experience.
