I got a 90-minute massage and facial package:

Massage - about 30 minutes. All upper body. It's the next day, and some of my muscles are on fire, but in a good way, they REALLY needed to be worked on (I carry stress in my upper back/neck area). Sadly, I don't remember the woman's name who worked on me, but she really knew what she was doing.

Facial - about an hour. I haven't really had many facials, but this was different than I remember my other ones. It was more of a 10-step product routine being done on me. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not quite what I was looking for. There was no asking about my skin concerns/type, so I don't think any of the products were suited to my specific skin type, just generic products. (btw, if you have sensitive skin, or prone to breakouts, I probably wouldn't recommend getting a facial here). There was also no communication about what she was doing, what she was using, etc. There was a very relaxing 10 minute facial/neck massage that I thoroughly enjoyed.

General - the space itself is not a fancy spa setting, but it is clean, and they played relaxing music in the treatment room. The woman who worked on me was professional, but as mentioned above, no explanation of anything (which was fine during the massage, but would've liked it for the facial). I was offered tea at the end, which was nice.

Overall impression is that I would go back for a massage, but not the facial. But, I wouldn't necessarily discourage anyone from getting the facial if what I described is what you're looking for, it just...

Christina wasn't bad. It was a clean place, the staff was pleasant. I However I probably will only go there just becausecI already paid for another set of eyelash extensions. I was really surprised the eyelashes started falling off by the time I made it home. And that was without touching them. I think within a day and a half They looked pretty embarrassing with random gaps and it was very noticeable.. I was disappointed even though the price was discounted it seemed like a lazy job had been done. Also after the adhesive had dried I would have a burning like chemicals that would irritate my eyes. I've had eyelash extentions before and neither of those two things has ever happened before. The rating is mainly for cleanliness and politeness of the staff. I can't really recommend based on quality...

I was looking for an affordable deep tissue massage and this spot came recommended by my cousin. I was surprised to find that the tiny store front had quite a few massage rooms. I scheduled an appointment for a deep tissue massage and a facial in the same visit. Both treatments were done in the same room by the same masseuse. My masseuse did a great job on my full body massage. She was petite but strong and kept a consistent firm pressure during the entire time. She did an equally good job on my facial, it was so relaxing that I fell asleep midway through! I highly recommend this spa and will be back for...
