I've had several massages and facials here (sparks location) and they have always been wonderful and relaxing. The best deal in town. Isabel G was fantastic, great pressure and was sure to ask about my recent foot surgery (1st visit Feb 2026) and adapted the massage to avoid the area the first time around. I went back to her a couple months later (April 1, 2026) when I was healed and again she asked about my recovery, making sure to adjust if needed (which it wasnt needed). Recommend her highly! Since google wont let me write a review each time I visit, guess I will just have to keep adding to this one, lol. Massage received by Amanda E (Feb 2026) and Sonya H (April 2026) were also very well done. Would recommend both of them. Lash lift and tint - done by Brooklynn S (april 2026)- great experience. she reached out to the teacher when not certain (which I appreciated), I felt very relaxed in her hands. so much so I think I may have dozed off a few minutes, lol. The results were exactly what I wanted (a bit of curl in my lashes). I plan to go back again in 4 weeks for a touch up with her as well. Facial with microcurrent/ chemical exfoliation - by EMMABE (april 2026)- this was a different experience. was a good one for sure. Emma did a great job and was very communicative during the whole process with the microcurrent and chem peel. I would do it again. Wet/dry hydration microderm facial - with Caitlin H (april 2026). what a wonderful facial. very professional and asked what my experience with facials was. I had mentioned the chem peel, and based on the timing of that, she recommended I do a lighter microderm (they offer two levels). The whole process was very relaxing and Caitlin was good at letting me know what to expect during the process (some steps can be a bit spicy). Will definitely do this one again and would recommend Caitlin.

THANK YOU TAWNY F. FOR THE WONDERFUL SERVICE! I FEEL AMAZING! I had an absolutely wonderful experience with my 60-minute microdermabrasion facial paired with the anti-aging peel. From start to finish, everything felt professional, relaxing, and truly rejuvenating. The treatment itself was incredibly thorough—my skin felt deeply cleansed, smooth, and noticeably refreshed right away. The microdermabrasion was gentle yet effective, and the anti-aging peel left my skin glowing without any harsh irritation. You can tell real care and attention went into every step. My skin has never felt softer or looked more radiant. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to refresh and revive their skin! I will be back.
