I had an amazing session at Shaped AF today!
I really wanted to treat myself so booked a head spa session with a facial. Dani did my treatment today and she was awesome! She analyzed my scalp and determined that my shampoo, due to the argan oil, was creating a lot of build up. She went over which products she was using and explained each step of the process. There was a lot included in the session, especially with the addition of the facial, and I enjoyed every minute. My favorite parts were there was a cold element. It was so hot outside, so the cold felt refreshing. The room is warm, but not uncomfortable. It probably helped me enjoy the change in temperature better. Also, during those cold sessions, I felt tingling throughout my body even though it was cold concentrated only on my scalp. It felt good.
Dani has a calm, welcoming vibe. Her hands were gentle when moving your neck, but gave the perfect pressure when massaging. I really appreciated her input on what I need to do to achieve a healthier scalp.
The very, very minor issue was during the sound bath. There's like chill pop music played through the entire layout and I felt it overpowered the sound bath a bit. I have this weird thing where I tend to hear background noise better. In the end, the sound bath helped me get to a relaxed state to start the treatment. The sound of the water plus the massage and facial put me in a state of complete relaxation, in the place between sleep and awake. I felt so rested when my session was over.
My scalp feels so squeaky clean! Photos of my scalp were taken before and after, and I can see the difference. My hair feels soft and refreshed. And my skin texture feels smoother.
The spa is very clean. The lobby is bright and the treatment area is dim with a calming glow from the lights. There's also complimentary tea that I would've enjoyed had it not been so hot.
Dani said head spa treatments can get addicting, and I can see why. I'm going to research their membership options. But I'm definitely coming back here whenever I need a self care day.
Side note: their website isn’t quite mobile friendly. I don’t know the technical term, but they use an another company, that seems to partner with many spas, to host their site. I DM’d them on Instagram to book my first appointment and found the process to be...
Read moreShaped AF is my monthly self-care indulgence and I couldn’t recommend it enough!
My VIP membership covers a monthly face sculpt + buccal treatment - think mini-facial with lots of de-puffing massage as well as jaw tension relief for any fellow TMJ sufferers. Normally I have Jaycie who is a delight but I’ve also had Kirza who was great as well.
This month I went for a more extensive service of the head spa which also came with an oxygen facial, which i’d never had before but definitely left my face as shiny and smooth as my hair. I was admittedly a little nervous about this as someone who is self-conscious about my thinning part, but Tina totally put me at ease, and I did not feel like the treatment was too rough for my fine, easily damaged hair. I enjoyed the deep cleansing treatment so much that I purchased some to try again at home, and was also very grateful to get some pain relief for my tight neck/jaw from this relaxing service as well.
I also want to shout out the front desk/booking team for always being so cordial and accommodating as I often have lots of questions about different services and making the most of my membership.
They’ve also recently added member discounts for other health and self-care focused local businesses. As someone with a limited budget that also wants to support places in our community to stay open and succeed, I’m super excited for this perk!
Your future self will thank you for giving this...
Read moreI absolutely love Shaped and can't recommend it more.
When you enter, you're always greeted by the friendliest staff, usually Richard or Elena. They are super sweet and always willing to answer questions.
I've been coming here to get the lymphatic drainage and Colombian wood therapy massages. I've done both the 60 and 90 minutes and have done add-ons. Once you start going regularly you can really tell the difference when you don't do it. I've had both Vika and Nikki do them and the quality and conversation is always great!
Since being a Shaped member I also started getting regular hydro-facials and Kyle is your girl! My skin has never felt or looked better.
I've also done the head spa with Dani, and my scalp feels so clean. It's a super pampering and relaxing experience too!
If you're on their IG you've probably seen the booty facial, which I tried too. It was fun (probs not something I'd do again) but Mel was fantastic! Truly felt like I had a baby's bottom after.
All in all if you're looking for a place to detox your body, practice some self-care, or just pamper yourself while getting snatched, you won't find anywhere better!! I truly love Shaped and all the staff. And it's always such a personalized experience! I'll miss this place...
