Yelp rating: 4.5 stars
Sample review: “My husband treated me to a 90-minute deep tissue massage here, and it was awesome! April was so friendly, and she gives an amazing massage. The pressure was just right, and I am picky about that. Most of the time people don’t use enough pressure unless you really push them! She found all of my problem areas, and when I left my massage I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. I’m so excited to come back for my next service. They also offer a wide array of massage types, and next time I think I’ll try the hot stone!” – Rachel D.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly even though I was a few minutes late and made sure to use the package price for my facial and massage even though I forgot to point it out. Aesthetically, the store’s a little out of date but the service makes up for it.” – Emmy C.

7501 Mentor Ave., Mentor, 440-942-8228
Yelp rating: 4 stars
Sample review: “…Lockers are available for personal items, such as phones and keys. They give booties for over your shoes or socks and blankets as it can get cold. They also give a very warm energy ball, which can be used to roll against muscles. The gravity chairs have noise-canceling headphones that play the same sounds. Five minutes into the session, a narrator tells some facts about the salt and its purity. Crashing waves played throughout the session pretty loudly. My boyfriend fell asleep and you could hardly hear him snoring. LOL It’s somewhat funny. After a while, I licked my lips and didn’t expect them to be salty. It’s kind of a long 45 minutes as you’re not supposed to talk. It caused all 4 of our party members to fall asleep, 2 for the entire session. It was a nice sleep, my boyfriend and I notice the respiratory effects, and we wouldn’t mind making this a monthly/bi-monthly thing.” – Frankie H.
