Kanani Pearl Spa — Local services in Portland

Had a blissful time at Kanani today. To start out, the physical space is exquisite. It is modern and very calming with “rivers” of water flowing along next to the floor, and maybe even under the floor? There were painted porcelain coi sitting in the “river” and I thought they were real at first! The sound of water is very soothing, and the artwork, some of sea turtles and a striking golden painting with Hawaiian flowers sets the decor apart from almost any other spa I have ever visited. Not over done or under done, it was just right, elegant, a little playful, and authentic. My massage with Amy is among the best I have ever had. She was very responsive, intuitive, and just connected. A few of the aromas she used were subtle and augmented the experience. Then my facial with Lauren was fantastic. She assessed my skin and just went to work as we chatted about life. She was gentle and really confident about what she was doing, I also liked the products she used and recommended, they also had some subtle aromas that I enjoyed. She spoofed up some facial things here and there which I very much appreciate. I highly recommend Kanani, they are true professionals who love what they do and it shows. I will...

Not super happy with this place. I treated my mom, and myself to massages. 136x2=272$ + 20% gratuity = 326.40$. However, I was charged 368$. I guess they “forgot” to tell me that they already add a gratuity? The other thing, I had no sooner walked out from my service, than my mom’s therapist complained to me that my mom was “still in there!” Ok, sorry, my mom is 80 and has one eye, so it might take her a bit longer to get dressed. I said that maybe it was too dark for her to get dressed (quickly). The therapist suggested that I go in to help her. Instead I called in “mom..” no sooner had I started speaking than I was scolded for being too loud and “disrupting other customers.” I have trouble believing that, in part because three therapists and the owner were all standing in the hall. In any case, it’s too bad because I liked my person (male) and I’m sure I would have been back. I normally get massages every other week. But there were just too many things that...

This is the best spa experience I've had in Portland. The spa itself is nicely decorated with Hawaiian themed decor. It's a nice cozy feel. They have tea and water in the waiting area. The staff was extremely friendly and I never felt rushed. I had a massage with Danielle and it is hands down the best massage I have had in many years. I had some neck and should pain that I needed help with but still wanted the massage to be relaxing. The pressure she applied was perfect and my pain was gone after the massage. Even though the massage was 60 mins it felt like it lasted longer, which was really great. I also had a fantastic facial from Veronica. She was gentle with extractions and made the facial very relaxing. The face, scalp and shoulder massage during the facial was also heavenly. After the services, the check out process at the counter was seamless and easy. I can't wait to go back to...
