Essentials Spa & Salon

Awesome massage today with John! I will be a regular customer! Best thing I did for myself in a long time!

Full disclosure here — I wanted to love this place as it is super close to my house and there was an amazing deal for the couples massage on groupon! I called to make the reservation and she said don’t worry about buying the groupon, we will just honor that price for you when you get here. So nice of them! I made my reservation for a couples massage on Valentines Day at 8pm. Not ideal since it is so late but she didnt give me any other option.
We arrived 30 minutes before (like we were told) and no one came to the waiting room for 12 minutes. My boyfriend and I just stood there waiting and waiting. Someone finally came out and I immediately could tell they wanted to get us outta there. They escorted us to a room where they gave us wine and cheese. Just ok. After what seemed like forever in the waiting room, someone got us. We were escorted to the massage room where NO ONE introduced themselves. I have no idea who massaged me or who massaged my boyfriend. They never introduced themselves. They just kinda said ok we are going to massage you and walked out. THE MASSAGE — ok seriously. this guy was taking ice cold lotion and slathering it on me. BEFORE warming it up. He maybe warmed up the lotion 2 out of the 50 times. I was cringing EVERY SINGLE TIME he used lotion, it went on my body first and was not warmed up one bit. Isn’t that the number one thing of a massage? Warm up the lotion or oils in your hand first? Nope, not this guy. Straight from the bowl to my body and it was ice cold. I wish I would have said something then. The massage itself sucked, so inconsistent. Seemed like he petted my head for 30 minutes, strange. My boyfriends massage — his girl was yawning the entire time. Like powerful yawns. And slupring the melted ice out of her Mcdonalds cup. She was trying to stay hyrdated which I get, but the drink was finished and she was making awful noises trying to suck up the metled ice. Combine the freezing lotion, petting of my head, yawns, slupring noises. It was a mess, We didn’t close our eyes once. I was not relaxed. This may have been their JV team of massage therapists but they need more training and more professionalism.
I really hope the owner reaches out to refund my money, I would never pay for an experience like that. It was a total joke and we laughed the whole way home.

Took my fiancé here the day before Valentine’s Day and we had an amazing time. The massage was so worth it and the staff was amazing.

Daughter and I visited for massage and facials today – as she puts it, it was «frigging fantastic». One of the best facials I’ve ever received or a low price of $ 25! – so good, I gave Carolina a $ 20 tip. Speaking of tips, the pineapple-​papaya masque was great. Cathy (my daughter had her) was very knowledgeable about skin care and how to treat skin in the sun.

Purchased the groupon deal for a couples massage which was a steal! We upgraded for a deep tissue massage for an extra $ 10 only. Mario was great, he did a fantastic job and catered to my problem areas. My boyfriend had Stephanie who did an exceptional job as well. Staff was very friendly & welcoming. Definitely a place to try!

I purchased the groupon and then checked the Unilocal reviews at the time there was only one review and the lady was very happy with her visit so i figured I’d give it a shot. To start off my groupon came with wine and light fare the gentleman took us to a room in the back and brought us back some wine and crackers with cheese (only thing I didn’t like was that it was served on paper plates) then we were greeted then taken to our massage room my only suggestion with that would be to have the tables turned so our heads were facing each other and not head to toe. The massage was uneven in which he spent different times on each body part. This place is just starting out so it might get better as time goes on with more experience. The one thing I disliked the most was after our massage we tipped the guys as we came out of the room as we walked out of the building the receptionist stopped us and asked if we were leaving a tip and pointed to the desk, I just didn’t like how he had asked.

I had a wonderful Day Spa experience. Staff is warm and friendly. They have only been open a couple of months. Can’t wait to go back!

I spent a relaxing day here yesterday. Kristen is an amazing massage therapist. I have had many massages before and she is hands down one of the best. I purchased the $ 99 special which came with a massage, facial, mani and pedi… which is an excellent deal. All the products they use are all natural and organic.
It is not a luxurious high end spa but the service is amazing and very affordable. I highly recommend.
