Spa Salons near Aptos

“There are not words beautiful enough to express my experience with Theresa at Saving Face Skin Solutions. I walked into her adorable salon space and immediately felt a release of tension and stress and a welcoming of kindness and compassion. Not only is her esthetician style lovely and gentle (the most gentle extractions I’ve ever experienced!) but her personality exudes love and generosity. She went out of her way to help me in a difficult time, to help me feel beautiful when my skin was not previously in a good place, and I left there feeling so relaxed yet energized, full of gratitude and hope all at once. She took care of my skin to every possible extent—I have never in my life received such care and kindness all at once. She is a gem right here in Aptos and I urge you to pay her a visit!“

“PLEASE READ, MASSIVE WARNING ABOUT A MASSAGE THERAPIST NAMED DIANNE. I had a massage appointment with Dianne recently. I should have known things were off when I mentioned my next vacation was Mexico and she stated you had "to be careful in PLACES like that", seemed like an odd way to reference the country. Later in the massage she mentioned being on a Fox News show as a caller to talk about how we should arm teachers. (With no law enforcement or education background, just with the usual inconsiderate/ no real experience rhetoric of the far right entertainment news.) I was appalled and pointed things from funding, training, going up against a magazine gun and her response is that "it's better than you cowering in corner with kids", this was far from a pleasant, relaxing massage. At this point I got off the table and started dressing and let my morals be known. Apparently she loves the current administration, loves what ICE is doing, E files are hoax, etc. She made my massage uncomfortable and disturbing; I'm Mexican American, and found her comments about Mexico and ICE very telling about how she feels about others who are different than her. I also got to hear how she finds HBCUs racist. Ummm what? And a few others comments that were clearly putting other groups of people down. I did speak to the owner of the spa. She was apologetic about the experience and offered a massage with another person to make up for it. I put 5 stars because the location is nice and I'm not trying to hurt the business but I think it's fair to warn people about the experience I had with Dianne. I would never book another appointment with her. I would not recommend anyone who spews racist, xenophobia and propaganda-like comments. Besides the hateful rhetoric that I felt was targeted to me as a Latina and educator, the massage was mediocre until I got up after being disturbed by her comments; I had to remind her twice about a light touch and no feet.“

“This place is the best! I’ve been getting the deep tissue massage from Eida monthly for the last year or more and it is always wonderful. Eida listens to your needs and tailors each massage to address the area of concern. She’s very skilled and professional, and I highly recommend her work. The studio is quiet, clean and welcoming too.“

“My first time here, she made me feel very welcomed and she did a great job on my haircut. I didn’t have to wait hours I was in & out with a wash cut and style. 10/10 sweet lady & an animal lover! Love it“

“Beth at Empowering Hands is amazing! I recently had a facial to help treat the redness in my skin, which was something Beth suggested after my last facial. I really appreciate that she starts each appointment by asking about my goals and what I’m hoping to work on. For me, my goal is to feel more comfortable without makeup, and Beth has been so thoughtful and supportive in helping me work toward that.

She not only provides a relaxing and personalized facial experience, but she has also helped me build a home care routine that supports my skin goals between appointments. I always feel listened to, cared for, and confident that I’m in knowledgeable hands. I highly recommend Beth!“

“Highly recommend! Great communication, friendly, welcoming and the treatments are the best ☺️“

“Had such a relaxing facial here this past weekend, and my skin issues are already starting to look better! Ilima was super knowledgable and helpful in recommending different steps I could take to improve my skin health.“

“Wonderful skin care and manner. Absolutely deserves recognition for her excellence as a skin aesthetician. Does not try to push products while providing skin care which is refreshing. Provides excellent service.“

“Kelley did great with my lashes both times, I’ll definitely be returning. She is professional and friendly and has a very relaxing setup. If you’re lucky you might get to snuggle her very cute dog, Rosie.“

“A beautiful relaxing spa! Gem of a place. Masseuse was excellent & friendly. Worth visiting again. Paid street parking either with quarters or the park mobile app.“

“I got the couple's massage with hot tub session. Massage was more of therputic rather than deep tissue or any other. The tempo is slow and claming, the water sounds from the fountain outdoor makes the entire environment very relaxing. Hot tub area is private and outdoor. Entire place is private and has sauna and shower area as well. After massage, you're directed to the hot tub area and get to enjoy the time in the hot tub. Teas and robs and towels are included.“

“As usual, an amazing experience! I have a bad back and this helps me so much. This is something I will continue to do for myself! Thanks“

“Facial left me glowing with dewy skin. I was completely blissed out during my appointment. Beth was so kind and is excellent and her craft.“

“Menopause has nothing on the healing magic of Michelle at Adorn Apothecary! I went to Adorn Apothecary with deep cystic acne, psoriasis and migraines. I can’t begin to tell you how badly menopausal hormone influx had destroyed my face. I started going in for facials weekly for a couple of months and the outcome is priceless. The acne has calmed and my face feels like my own again. I’ve always suffered from psoriasis, mostly in my scalp, but lately I’ve been getting horrible, painful patches in my face, low back, and ears. I started using the moisturizer to w Michelle makes at Adorn and it like my skin is coming back to life, hydrated and healing. Finally, probably the most important and life changing experience of Reiki. I have suffered from debilitating migraines for years without relief. I did an add-on Reiki session to a facial a few months ago and I swear, the migraines left. I can’t say enough about Adorn Apothecary and Michelle’s services and products. It is more than simply cosmetic, it’s magical.“

“Let me tell you one thing I've been to many massage parlors and Lola was absolutely phenomenal if you want a great massage ask for Lola she knows exactly what she's doing I gave her a $100 tip for 90 minutes and went back the next day for another hour and I'm from Sacramento California just there for the weekend probably one of the best massages I've ever had“

“Great customer service, they all so professional, friendly, special a thank you to Petra how she has been helping with her encouragement.“

“If you want someone to talk to you straight about exactly what you need, and exactly what you don't, this is Sue. Her office is extremely luxurious, and she is always on time, and gives me excellent facials and Brazilians.“

“My partner and I had a lovely afternoon here. Met a fun local couple , had a nice time :) its best around 1 pm to ensure you get some shade vs full sun at noon. Will be returning :)“

“It was my first time going today actually and Alexa was Amazing very detailed and very patient and she was very attentive I’m very happy with my results I will be going back soon and good price as well“

“Best facial ever! Highly recommend!

“Whitney was amazing, was so kind and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend her services!“

“Every time I leave Blush I’m reminded how beautiful my brows are. Can’t stop looking at them ! Thank you Julie ☺️“

“Joanie is the very best! I have been coming 'over the hill' to A Room of Her Own for 15+ years. Anti-acne facials, dermabrasion, product advice, and an excellent practitioner --that's A Room of Her Own.“

“Mary does a wonderful job with the massages & facials. I am so glad my friend recommended this place!“

“Loved the atmosphere at Beauty Unlimited! My toes look amazing, and Isabel was so kind and welcoming. She made the experience even better. Already looking forward to my next visit. Definitely recommend!“

“Best massages and facials!!! They are well-known for their amazing nail work, but Opal Spa in the beautiful Bella Notte Inn also provides top-notch facials and massages. Every detail provides an ambience of pure relaxation - from the treatment room with fire place and candle light sconces, the music, the massage table sheets, the oil fragrance. And then Lam with her perfect technique and pressure…I have dozed off a couple times now and even though I want to stay awake to enjoy every single minute, I find giving in to blissful relaxation is ultimately a treat in itself.“

“Nice place and nice area. Cute salon very clean, local soquel shop. Thanks for following up.“
