    I did the 75 minute Myofascial Massage and it was incredible. As a first timer at this spa and for this type of massage, the experience far exceeded my expectations. Service is kind and very attentive. I was very early to my appointment, but they still let me in to sit in their nice lounge with a cup of tea. The facility is VERY nice, each inch of the place is decorated and structured beautifully; definitely felt at ease upon first walking in. I was worried that a massage that targets knots and tight muscles would be painful, but the massage was relaxing and pleasant. Can’t wait to come back!

    Great interior design, beautifully done and reminds me of top spas. Body worker was also excellent, respectful, skilled, and professional. The front desk staff were pleasant but aloof Another guest asked me for where the water station was, which was something also not initially offered to me.

    Do you want an oasis down the street? You have found it with Avantgard. The aesthetics are beautiful and the staff professional and welcoming in a manner that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk through those beautifully heavy doors and move into lightness. Sierra was my esthetician/facialist. Fantastic and knowledgeable. It was one of the best RX facials I've had in a very, very long time. My face was glowing for the next two days. No makeup needed. I felt relaxed as I walked back into the world. If you haven't been to Avantgarde, please give yourself a gift.
