Spa Noa

I have been going to Spa Noa for over 15 years and absolutely love it. The reception staff and the masseuses and estheticians are absolutely top-notch. To the point that when I go on vacations with girlfriends and they want the hit the spa, I have learned to "pass" because the cost is twice as much as Spa Noa, and the massages especially never live up to the ones at Spa Noa. I wait until I get back home! In the past couple years they have done a complete renovation inside and it is really gorgeous and relaxing and pretty turquoise now. You are offered refreshments and nice snacks constantly and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable, relaxed and happy. You get your choice of massage oils / smells and they've ALL smelled great to me! I'm not that big on facials but the few I've had there were wonderful, and the esthetician never put a mask treatment on me and left me for an alarmingly long time like the one time I had one at Red Door down the road! I've tried all the masseuses and all are outstanding, but my favorites are Amy and Becky. They now have added hair services, and although I was nervous I was ready for a change, she did a GREAT job with blonde highlights (and lowlights) and a great cut and style. Altho this place is in a strip mall near Whole Foods, make sure you try it out! It doesn't look like a Canyon Ranch on the outside, but neither are the prices! p.s. Sign up for their email specials, and on the few days they aren't booked up they will send out last minutes 10-20% off specials for that day. more

I had a similar experience: my time was cut short but I don't wear a watch so I didn't notice it until I got to my car. And since it was a gift massage, I didn't feel OK complaining about it. It wasn't a very soothing experience (no music), and the massage oil smelled funny like it was rancid. I even asked the therapist about it but she said it was a hypoallergenic gel. It might have been but still distracting. It's been almost a year so I hope this spa has improved and/or gotten rid of the previous therapist. I'd hate someone to go through the same experience I did. more

I didn't enjoy my massage. I give it a 4 on 10 point scale. The guy even said at the end of the massage, I don't usually do my massages this way... Maybe you should stick with what works. Didn't enjoy paying $95 for a 50 min massage. Calvert Rejuvenation down the street is AWESOME and only $85 for 60 minutes! more
