I had a massage with Heather today and it was an awesome experience. She expertly identified and addressed my problem areas with effective techniques and appropriate pressure. I highly recommend Heather.

Erik did an amazing job. He got all my knots out and worked on all my problem areas. Out of all the massages Ive had he is by far the best! I can only think of 1 negative thing about my session and thats that it is over 😕.

Caroline is amazing! I really enjoy her facials. I wish I could come in everyday for a facial massage. The heated adjustable beds are really nice and comfy!

One of the best, if not the best. Great staff, top notch customer service, and ultimate care. This place deserves 10 stars but since I can only go as far as 5 I’ll give them a 10 lol.

Its all about the representation and experience for me. Caroline and Angel is what made the whole experience for me. They were very informative and friendly.

Their quarantine procedures were intentional, well communicated and well executed. I loved having Angel - she was a wonderfully genuine person to converse with! (I sensed she would have had no problem working in silence, but I love a good conversation in all contexts and she was a delight to talk with! Loved her accent.) Gentle and firm touch worked magic - especially for someone who has never had a professional massage!

Comfortable, and extremely clean facility. Staff - Professional, friendly, and detailed. I get the deep message because of some pain. The techniques used by Donald breaks up adhesions and reduces muscle spasms. The range of motion using strong pressure relieves the underlying tight muscles. Front Desk Personnel: Follows the rules, and really allows the customers to feel welcome and at home so to speak.

Went in on Sunday for an hour long massage. Everyone was very courteous and professional. I have problems with my back and a car wreck related injury with my hip. Donald gave me the best back massage Ive ever had and really helped with my hip. I plan to get the monthly membership! So worth it!

The COVID precautions that were taken was the best part of my whole experience. I’ve gotten several massages at other places before and this was the one time I felt like my masseuse gave a massage like he had something better to do. Maybe it was a bad day or maybe he just didn’t want to. I’m not sure but I was recommended to this place and I won’t be recommending it or coming back.

The ladies up front are always nice when you call to make an appointment, and welcoming when you come in for your appointment. My husband and I like coming here. They offer couples massages which is cool for special occasions. We recommend Natalia!

I have loved all of the massage therapist there. So relaxing and worth every penny. If you want a deep tissue massage with pressure points, I highly recommend Donald.

Very professional staff and atmosphere. Large couples massage room. My Swedish massage was just the right pressure. Ample parking. I will consider returning and recommending to others.

It was very relaxing, and the masseuse asked if there was anywhere I didn’t want to be touched, and what areas I felt needed more attention for the massage. Everyone was also very nice and welcoming when we walked in.

For first time it was the best although I would recommend getting the 90min massage instead of the 60min. It goes by FAST!!!! Great atmosphere too.

Review №38

I was very disappointed in my massage, it was the worst massage I have ever had! When the massage begin Natalia asked how the pressure was and I asked for more pressure which I did not get? Why ask if you are not going to do it or can’t do it? The pressure she applied was more irritating than relaxing. She used very little oils and it was a rubbing/burning sensation and made my skin sore not relaxed. When she turned me to my “face side up” I was definitely unable to relax! She smelled as if she ate raw garlic? Im suppose to pay extra for aromatherapy but if not I have to smell garlic on my massage therapist? I did not even feel like I had a massage when I left there! These are just a few things I was disappointed in and I would never go back to LaVida Massage or recommend it. My massage was in September, I sent several emails and phone calls with no responds! This is very poor customer service!

This place should be rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Just left Antionette and I can say it was the absolute best massage ever. She worked on my issues like a master. The ambiance is nice, serene, and most of all clean. I will be definitely be going back again!!!

The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is their monthly payment plan, which I think is bogus. BUT Ive had both Shannon and Natalia, and they are equally wonderful. Very knowledgeable, adjusts the massage session to my specific needs, and offers suggestions to help keep my body in line.

I had a massage and facial done by Jennifer today and it was absolutely amazing! Ive never had either done before so I was very nervous, but she explained everything that was happening while keeping me very relaxed.

Review №44

I was very disappointed with my visit to LaVida. Let me start by saying that I am in no way angry with my therapist, she was as sweet as could be, and did her job to the best of her ability. My problem lies with the MANAGEMENT. My experience started out with me calling to schedule an appointment due to being very dis- satisfied with a local competitor, JUST ONE DAY PRIOR. I SPECIFICALLY asked to be scheduled with ANYONE who would be able to remove the muscle knots from my back (particularly my shoulder blades) as this was my biggest problem area. The receptionist said that she would leave a note in my appointment slot saying that I needed someone to do whatever it took to get my knots out of my back. I stressed to them countless times that this was all I was worried about and if they could accomplish this then everything beyond that would be icing on the cake for me. During my massage this was NOT taken care of and when I asked if they could please get rid of my knots, my response was Sorry, that will require more time. and Try stretching that should help. So you can probably imagine my frustration getting up from the table for the 2nd time in a row and my problem STILL not being taken care of. I then talked with a manager, who I also believe to be one of that stores owners, and asked her to please read me what was in my appointment notes. She read them to me and wouldnt you know that they said that I NEEDED MY KNOTS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I then asked her why I was standing in front of her without my problem being taken care of. My answer was a story about her visiting Hawaii and that I needed to pay for another session because the session I had was not long enough..........Im sorry?!?! You cant get knots in shoulder blades out in 1 hour? I have a great family friend that normally works on me but she has since moved far away and she ALWAYS got me 10000000% taken care of in 1 hour. Of course they were still very happy to take my money WHICH BY THE WAY THEY MAKE YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CARD NUMBER WHEN YOU SCHEDULE AND IF YOU TRY TO CANCEL THEY WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY. In essence you are screwed into paying for the massage even if you dont get what you are expecting or what they promised you. So the real questions that need to be answered here are..WHY did you say that you would do something, and then NOT do it? WHY did you schedule me with a person who wasnt going to get my knots out because shes not classified as a therapist with that appropriate pressure? WHY do you not communicate well enough to your receptionists so that they can schedule customers with the correct therapist that they NEED. and finally WHY WAS THE ONLY ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM TO SIGN UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP AND PAY FOR A-N-O-T-H-E-R SESSION???? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS AND A TERRIBLE WAY TO HANDLE BUSINESS. NOT ONLY DID YOU NOT KEEP YOUR WORD, YOU WERE GOING TO REQUIRE THAT I PAY AGAIN FOR YOU TO KEEP IT? HOW ABOUT THIS.....JUST DO WHAT YOU SAY YOURE GOING TO DO. BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS IF YOU DONT, THEN THAT MAKES YOU A L-I-A-R. YOUR EXCUSES AS TO WHY YOU COULD NOT DO IT ARE IRRELEVANT. I would highly suggest to anyone wanting to visit here or Massage Envy down the road, that you be SO VERY SPECIFIC with what you need; and cross your fingers and hope for the best because unfortunately that is the best that either of these companies have to offer.

At the end of 2018 I cancelled my membership at Lavida Massage. This was because I was reducing expenses in 2019 not realizing that the Government shutdown would last over a month. So I have had to reduce expenses regardless. I used my last 2 credits yesterday and had a massage and facial. OMG! The facial was everything! I had been reluctant for the past year to get a facial because I have sensitive acne prone skin and its still a thing even in my 40s. However, the facial was so relaxing, so invigorating and my skin felt soft and firmer. I am no longer a member but I will be back because I have had massages, body wrap and a facial and they have all given me life! The ladies at the front desk are awesome and depending on who is there they know you by name which feels very personal and inviting. I have had several masseuse and they were all great but a special shout out to Shannon (she is no longer there), Amy is awesome and Antoinette was my masseuse for my last visit and she was great, and Caroline who did my facial and made my face look and feel amazing! I would highly recommend Lavida Massage, I have a stressful job and all I have to say is I need to relax! I had started working out last year so I would have Amy focus on my calves because of the tightness but other than that it was all about relaxing and kneading out the knots from all the stress. I will be back one day but for now I have to get back to work and get my finances in order. (one tip for ladies of color I always wrapped my hair with my scarf like at night time to keep it out of the way during my massages so my hair would not shrink due to steam from hot towels or lotion getting in my hair, you know how it is when your hair gets wet )

I am changing my score...heres why...I like the environment and the people are very nice here. The services for the most part are fairly good too. I will say this last visit where I got the body hydration and I did the foot detox was not as up to par as prior visits. First, the technician was running a bit late and did not seem prepared. During the body hydrate, although the technician preforming the service was nice, she was a bit flighty and was not consistent with the brushing of the skin. For example, she completely missed doing the tops of my arms and then almost missed doing the top of my left thigh. I reminded her of that and she had to take the lotion off, dry it off and brush it then reapply. The massage however was fantastic. She did a great job on that. Next was the foot detox which was not set up and I was waiting around for her to get the water temperature right. Then there were a few hiccups with the machine as well. This was not remotely smooth. And afterwards, no lotion or anything applied to me feet, she wiped them off and I was on my way. After soaking your feet in salt water for 20 minutes or so minutes and no lotion makes for dry feet. So for $50...the foot detox was not worth it at all. Also, make sure you do your homework on why the water changes color...it is not because it draws out all of these toxins from your body.Again, I have been to this location several times and have had really good experiences. Just this last one which cost me an additional $65 out of pocket, even though I have multiple credits banked there and then a tip on top of that.This leads me to my next issue. If I am paying $59.95 a month and there is a month I am not able to make it in, then that credit or any of those monthly fees, I should be allowed to use them toward any service they provide. Instead you are limited to massages and facials, that are the basic and all upgrades are out if pocket. I seriously had $239.80 in credits and I still had to pay out of pocket? The foot detox was not included and I had to pay their discounted rate of $45 from the original $50 rate...which as a member is not much of a break especially to have to wait around to have the service then the machine to not function properly and then to be sent on my merry way.This experience and all of their limitations are making me re-evaluate my membership.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Customer service is horrible. Mother’s Day weekend and my six year old son really needed the restroom. I came in with my baby, six year old, and seven year old autistic daughter. Any business that would turn away a child for the restroom is ridiculous and not worth business.
