This was my second visit to Ark and I decided I wanted to write something. Not only I am a picky massage customer, but more importantly, I know how to choose a good service. Why do you get massages? Have you ever asked yourself that? Just relax, find a quiet place, treat yourself, maybe. The real meaning of massage is to check your body, detoxify, and maintain a normal balance of immune function. This is the purpose of my massage. If you have the patience to read the ancient Chinese medical books, you will understand the principle I said. I don't want to give my body a problem and take a bunch of chemical pills and damage the rest of my organs. I want to prevent physical problems, so I make sure to get a massage once a month at my current age, and if you are over 50, you can better than twice a month! You may ask how do you know which part of your body is in bad condition? When a qualified technician massages your body, some places will hurt, some places relax, the painful place is where you are obstructed, you have to use massage to discharge body toxins, keep drinking warm water after massage. The masseuses of Ark not only meet the qualified standards of massage for body acupuncture points, but the most important thing is that I have come here twice to change different masseuses, they all have the focus to serve customers. When I was being massaged, the masseuse‘s hands was speaking to my body. I was not perfunctory service, but a professional and attentive service. So I highly recommend this store, it is the overall good quality service, rather than a skilled massage. So I'll stick to this place and take care of my body parts. I forgot to mention that the facials are also amazing and I'm so satisfied that I don't have to run to another store to get my facial done, I can do it all at once! I hope my comments...
Read moreIn San Diego for business with my wife—we had some time to kill and she suggested foot massages. I can dig it, so we drove down the road to Ark Spa. I had no idea what to expect, but man, I was so pleasantly surprised (though I shouldn't have been...all the positive reviews are spot on)!
We decided on the 60-minute foot massage, though the staff member suggested the foot / back combo and they were probably right. Both my wife and I were able to be in beds next to each other which was nice. I expected just a foot massage, but we got way more than that, including (over the clothes) massages on the back, arms, head, face, hands, etc. They went way above and beyond!!!
My body is broken from sports so I get massages quite often, typically at a monthly-subscription chain but also high end hotels, spas and more. Most are hit or miss. Ironically some of the worst experiences came at the most expensive / high end hotel/spas. This was one of the best spa experiences I've ever had!! While only 60-minutes, I swear they treated us for longer. The price absolutely can't be beat for the service and to top it off, the staff was so nice. We were just there today and we're already trying to figure out if we can make it back after working our event tomorrow. I only wish this place was back...
Read moreMy wife and I decided to get a couple’s massage today. It was my first time getting a massage. We are brought into the couples room and the masseuses came in shortly thereafter. Five minutes after the massage began, the masseuse pull the sheet off of my back and start’s giving me an oil massage.
My wife (who is gorgeous) looks over and saw me getting an oil massage while her masseuse is still massaging her through the sheet on her back. After my wife brought this to my attention, I told them if we aren’t getting the same treatment, then we will leave and get our money back. The masseuses then ask my wife if she wants a chair massage (which is strange), even though we paid for a couples massage. My wife’s masseuse then promptly starts giving her an oil massage. I didn’t go into this place looking to be distracted by anyone, I came to enjoy a relaxing massage with my beautiful wife. They made it super awkward, needless to say we won’t be...
