Why are you going anywhere else?

I have been a member here for 3 years (at the Scottsdale location) and I would never go anywhere else, especially not the cookie cutter massage places that have turnover and no personality. I originally came to get a medical massage as I was in such extreme pain I could not turn the doorknob to get out of the house, shift gears in the car or turn the wheel, or open a can of soda pop without excruciating pain. After my first visit with Eric Braha, 85% of the pain was gone and I signed up for a membership right on the spot. Now I come for monthly facials with Yvette MacKenzie, and she is the most fantastic aesthetician. All of the therapists and aestheticians are highly trained, and the owners Cathy and Steve are wonderful! The spa offers unique massages you won't find anywhere else, and their membership prices are on par with the cookie cooker nationwide companies. Do try the rainfall shower and you will want to live at this place - I even used it after I had already showered at home 30 minutes earlier just because it's sooooooooo relaxing! Try the lomi lomi or the chocolate massages and you will wonder what you were ever doing at any other place.

As members of Hawaiian Spa we look forward to our massages each and every month. I had my apt with Linda S who integrated some deep tissue with Lomi and I left, not only feeling relaxed but also invigorated. She was immediately in tune with what my body needed and I look forward to booking my next apt with Linda S. Such a great way to thank our mind, body and souls.

Wonderful Experience
By GenI | February 26, 2013
5.00 out of 5 stars
My boyfriend and I stopped at the Scottsdale location as we were driving across the country. We had the Waimea couplesmassage. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a therapist named Jarid and he had Stacy. They were both very professional and made sure each of us received the massage that we wanted. Afterwards we had a shower that was simply amazing. Their shower room has a large over head shower as well as body jets on the wall. It was a great way to wrap up a massage. They offered several different products in the shower to use that all smelled great. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. We want to try out some of their other services.

Authentic "true to the Hawaii" spa!!
By RinaM | February 24, 2013
5.00 out of 5 stars
"I am a third generation native of Hawaii and found the Hawaiian Experience Spa by chance, on a weekend trip to Scottsdale. I never know if any place with "Hawaiian" in the name is going to be a genuine experience or tacky, cheesy rubbish! I was thrilled to find that this was a "true to the beauty of Hawaii" place with wonderful ancient hula music that really worked in the spa setting, and video that focused on the natural beauty of the islands! My therapist Tony told me how "into it" the owners were -- and I quickly introduced myself to Cathy & Steve who were at the desk! Such great people -- with the island spirit of Aloha in their hearts! I thanked them for an authentic atmosphere and wonderful experience!"

I love this place! Always a fun visit. Their products/services are unique and love the Hawaiian theme. Stacy did a great job of explaining to me what I could expect from the massage and what it would entail. She did a great job - I was shocked at the number of knots she was able to release from my back/neck/shoulders. I had no idea I was such a mess!

"Nikki was very good. She knew what she was doing and the massage was great as usual. I will try to go back to her sometime in the future. I usually have a massage there at least once if not twice a month, it is that good and very beneficial for me. I am so glad i found this place that I have become a Royal Club member. "

Invigorating and Relaxing
By DianeW | November 23, 2012

Zach is a very skilled and professional massage therapist. I had the Lomi Lomi massage, full body, minimal draping, and I never felt uncomfortable or overly exposed. He did a great job explaining the massage process - it certainly is different than any other massage I've had! I left feeling both energized and relaxed. I will definitely go back to Zach and Hawaiian Experience Spa for another massage!

Stacy is a true professional
By RalphW | November 19, 2012
5.00 out of 5 stars
I workout, play golf, and sit in front of a computer all day and used to suffer from chronic shoulder bursitis, lower back pain and neck pain. With regular Waikiki (deep tissue lomi) massages from Stacy, I have been pain free for months. Stacy uses a combination of myofascial, deep tissue, and stretching to release tension and increase range of motion. Somehow she knows exactly where the problem spots are without me saying anything! Book in advance because Stacy has regular clients that depend upon her like me!

Great Experience with Stacy
By PhilG | November 11, 2012

I've been going to Hawaiian Experience Spa for the past year for massages with Stacy. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, having helped me regain full motion as I recovered from a shoulder injury. She also helps relieve the stress I tend to carry in my neck and back. Stacy has great intuitive abilities and always seems to know where my trouble spots are and how to heal them. She's a life saver.

My favorite place to relax
By Joe E | November 10, 2012
5.00 out of 5 stars
I've been coming to Hawaiian Experience for a few years now, and every time is always incredible. Generally I'll go with the signature massage, the Lomi Lomi - the first time I tried this, it was something completely different from anything I'd ever experienced. It's the most relaxing massage I've ever had - I was a Massage Envy customer prior, and it's like two different worlds. The spa is very nice - clean and relaxing atmosphere, and everyone is always friendly and helpful. It's a family-owned business, and it really shows - you get a real personal experience. Every therapist I've seen there has been great. Lately I've mostly been seeing Stacy, and she does a fantastic job with the Lomi. She has a warm and tender touch, and keeps me in the moment while at the same time relaxes me almost enough to fall asleep. I highly recommend this place - whether you're looking for stress relief, therapeutic treatments, or just plain relaxation, you'll love it.

I've seen Eric several times and he's absolutely the best. He's totally focused on what he does and is a master at making me feel relaxed. Every time I leave I feel so stress-free and that feeling stays with me for days afterwards. Thank you so much! If you're a local I highly recommend the membership - you can't find a better value. Treatments to try: Lomi-Lomi Massage (truly exotic), Maui Relaxation Massage, Body Scrubs, and any facial (their product line is amazing). And don't forget about the waterfall shower - it's a great way to end your treatment!

By ScottF | July 25, 2012

I have had a variety of services at Hawaiian Experience Spa and have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from the various treatments. The Lomi Lomi massage is truly an exotic experience. The facials are so relaxing it is hard to stay awake for the completion. I like the products used, and it is nice they are available for purchase at a reasonable price. The therapists take the time to find out what your needs are and do an excellent job of addressing those areas. The staff is very friendly and I really felt pampered. The facilities are clean and well maintained. This is one of the few businesses I have recommended to friends. The Hawaiian decor and music is a nice change from other spas I have gone to.

Hawaiian Massage Is The Only Way To Go
By DebbieT | July 21, 2012
5.00 out of 5 stars
Ok, I have had lots of massages but NOTHING was like the lomi lomi massage at Hawaiian Experience Day Spa in Scottsdale. It really was unlike anything else. First, you can't be too modest because you are only covered in a small towel. All the important areas are covered and to tell you the truth after about 60 seconds you won't care anymore. My therapist was Steve and I felt totally comfortable. He was very professional, friendly, and really knew what he was doing. I can't go back to a regular massage. The spa is beautiful and looks like a little bit of Hawaii. It is very tastefully decorated and gives you a tropical feeling. The shower I used after my massage was to die for! Everyone was really nice and made me feel at home right away. The membership club is the way to go if you live near the spa. I signed up when I left and can't wait until I come back. Give this spa a try and you won't regret it.

my first facial
By TarahA | November 30, 2009
4.00 out of 5 stars
Thanks to the Hawt on Yelp Week, which allowed me to sample some choice spas at reduced rates, I booked an Ultimate Facial at the Hawaiian Experience Spa. At first, I was afraid of selecting a 90-minute facial; I wasn't sure if my sensitive skin would react well to that much attention. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. Pam C. was the person who did my facial. There were three things I appreciated about her: 1. She described the different products and equipment she was using throughout the process, which was helpful since I had never had a facial before. Terms like "extraction," "high frequency facial machine," and "steamers" held no meaning for me before this day, so I liked that Pam took the time out to explain what she was going to do to my face before doing it. 2. She gave advice that did NOT include pedaling her products. Many times when I go into salons or department stores, I feel uncomfortable with people trying to sell me more than what I came for. I was grateful this didn't happen with Pam. She did encourage me to go "back to the basics" in my skincare regime and stop overdoing it with too many products, but she did not try to sell me the products that were in the store. On the other hand, she did explain the products that she was using and notified me which ones were sold at the spa. I liked having the information without feeling obligated. 3. She made it a point to make sure I felt comfortable. As someone new to the scene of unmanageable breakouts, I certainly didn't feel confident sitting in a chair while a bright light magnified the problems going on with my skin. Pam helped me get to the point where I actually enjoyed the facial. She checked my satisfaction with the temperature of the room, gave me a relaxing foot and hand massage while masks dried on my face, and had a soothing style of interacting. When she used the high frequency machine, she checked the strength of the zapping repeatedly to make sure that it was at a level with which I was comfortable. One month later, I have already scheduled an appointment to see her again. Also, one good thing about the spa itself is its email deals. I'm not accustomed to paying for spa treatments, so it helps to receive discounts. Upon leaving my facial, I was informed that I could get a 30% reduced rate if I booked another treatment within the next month (I did). During this past month, they also sent me emails for holiday and birthday discounts, and I took advantage of these too. Now, I have my next three months of facials paid for, and they're all at reduced rates.

I have been there several times and I finally decided that I need to write a review! Every time I go there my "Hawaiian" experience is always amazing. There seems to be a great level of consistency in their therapists. Unlike at some of the other places I have visited, all of them seem to be well trained and are consistently available. I won $500 in SpaFinder's Gift Certificates a few months back and out of all the places around this spa seems to be the best value.....and its Hawaiian!

Very unique and very nice day spa
By AnnB | December 16, 2008
5.00 out of 5 stars
Everything in the spa is so much different then your regular boring spa and really looks like a little piece of Hawaii. The whole atmosphere is just relaxing, which is a great start to a massage. I had an organic coffee body scrub from Hawaii followed by a full body massage. The scrub made my skin feel incredible and the shower they have to rinse the scrub off in is to die for. I have to put one of those in my house! The massage therapist was very professional, attentive, friendly, and skilled. I wanted a relaxing massage and that is exactly what I got. Not too deep, but not too light either. The therapist did not keep talking to me (I hate that) except to check in a couple of times to make sure the pressure was ok, etc. The price was well worth the treatment. I joined their membership program (you don't have to join) and got a discount on that treatment and on all the future ones. The owner, Cathy, works the front desk and makes sure everything is perfect. Her husband is a massage therapist (I had someone different) and I think that really helps them understand the client's needs so everything can be just right. Hawaiian Experience Day Spa gets my A+++ highest recommendation.

Best Massage Ever - Wonderful Day Spa
By MarkandSusan | December 3, 2008
5.00 out of 5 stars
My wife and I had a fantastic experience at this spa. It is impeccably clean and very tastefully decorated with Hawaiian décor. The staff was the friendliest I have encountered at any spa and our massage therapists were very knowledgeable and gave wonderful massages. I had the best massage in 20 years at this spa. I had the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and she had a therapeutic massage for her back. The Lomi Lomi was not exactly what I expected. It is done on the whole body at once and I thought it was going to be like a Swedish massage that went from head to toe. Actually there was much more to it then that. It was deep but not painful in any way. Every muscle in my body felt more connected the way they massaged from head to toe with long continuous strokes. It seemed to be quite a work out for the therapist as she moved all around the table during the massage. I really have never experienced anything like it. I don’t know if I can go back to a regular massage again. My wife saw one of the owners, Steve, and had a therapeutic massage to combine relaxation with back pain relief. My wife is a nurse and was very impressed with Steve’s level of medical knowledge. She said he knew every detail of every muscle he worked on and discussed various exercises and stretches she could do to help with her problem. The massage made her back feel better then it had in months and she left very relaxed as well. We highly recommend this spa because it is a nice fun place and more importantly, is very focused on providing high quality therapy in their massages. We also enjoyed the complimentary fruit and snacks that they have out on the tike bar in the lounge!

Excellent Service and Amazing Treatments!
By Jwiehe | July 8, 2008

I must say I love this place! I have been to literally dozens of day spas and hotel spas over the past couple years and I had the best experience at Healing Touch. Ellen the massage therapist is AWESOME. She addresses my needs and gives a great massage. She even did research between two of my appointments to see how to better address my super-tight back. What service! The monthly membership is extremely affordable and definitely worth the price. The quality of massage is worth much more than $39. The decor is so cute and extremely well done. You can tell no expense was spared in putting together this clever day spa. I can't wait to try their diverse treatment offerings. The owners have been in there every time I have come in for treatment and the honestly care about their clients. Thank you so much!
