I found this spa through SpaFinder and saw the special they had advertised on SpaFinder. I called and told them I wanted to book an appointment for the special which was a 90 minute massage for $75. Great! They could take me that day. When I was on my way I realized that they never took my name or anything to hold the appointment. Strange. I hoped that the appointment was still available when I arrived. It was. My massage was pretty nice. I wish I would have been told that my therapist was a male, but not a huge deal. He was pretty good, but not too careful with his draping. Several times I felt as though I was exposed....especially since he insisted that I remove my panties. The real kicker is when I went to checkout. I handed them a $100 SpaFinder certificate was told that I owed them $50. What? I reminded her about the $75 special offer. She told me that I could not use a gift certificate for that and that the total was $150. I argued the point that you can't advertise a special price on SpaFinder and then not accept the certificates for the deal. That is kind of shady. I am sure that someone who didn't know better probably ended up paying the $150. Finally, after much back and forth, she agreed to accept the certificate and gave me $25 spa gift certificate back (that was only good for 2weeks). I feel like I was ripped off. Won't be going back there.

Jennifer is an amazing massage therapist and esthetician! October 2, 2009 | 26 of 48 people found this review helpful
Jennifer is an amazing massage therapist and esthetician! I was lucky to find her soon after moving to the area at 8 months pregnant. I was stressed from the move/pregnancy and my skin was a mess from the hormone changes. I saw Jennifer for a pre-natal massage and facial and cannot put into words how much better I felt afterwards. Not only was she prepared to make me as comfortable as possible for my massage (she has the greatest bolster pillows!), she worked on my sore back and hips and I actually felt like I could breathe and move more freely after. In addition to leaving my skin glowing at the end of the facial, she followed up with me a couple days later with some great tips for continuing to improve the quality of my sensitive, hormonally charged (acne-prone) face. I have already been back to see her again and plan to see her through the end of the pregnancy and as soon post-natally as possible. I have regularly seen massage therapists for over 10 years now and speak from this experience as I sing her praises and recommend her highly.
