Where is the Best Deep Tissue Massage in Portland, Oregon?
I had been looking for someone to trust with my hair and i read so many good reviews on Jena I decided to giver her a try. It was very convenient since she starts at 6am so I can get my hair done before I need to go into work. I went in the first time not knowing what I wanted and some how it turned out better than what I could have dreamed of. I recently went back to get highlights in to give my hair texture for an up-do for a wedding I was in, She listened to what I needed I gave me highlights that look natural, hide when I have my hair down, and makes my hair look amazing when its up. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I have never done anything dramatic to my hair but in her hands I feel like anything she does will make me look amazing in the end. My next appointment is for a Keratin treatment to straighten out my frizzy hair. She gave me a lot of information on it, and gave me good advice whether I should do it or not because of my hair type. She knows her stuff! I wouldn’t place
This has to be one of the best facials I’ve ever gotten. Lacey was very informative and offered great tips on taking care of my skin. She didn’t push any products on me and seemed very genuine in her advice as to how I could best maintain my skin between appointments. I booked another appointment right then and there! I loved my skin post facial and unlike some facials I’ve gotten in the past, my skin looked and felt amazing. Oh and the warm booties…AMAZING!My only suggestion would be that mirrors be installed in the treatment rooms for those that receive facials and don’t get directed to the restroom after their treatment. After my facial was completed, I was left to get dressed and try and make myself look presentable enough to walk out into the lobby to pay and walk onto NW 23rd unaware of what I looked like. I felt a little self conscious already with bare face, but to not know if I had red blotchy skin and hair faux pas was a little frustrating and sort of sent me out
Let me say this, I did have some trouble getting the appointment scheduled similar to some of the reviews below. I did, however, get that worked out with a personal call from the owner, Megan. Today was the day that my boyfriend and I visited the spa and had a really great experience. From the beginning of our appointment where we worked out our aromatherapy to the time we left, we were made to feel extremely special and were well taken care of. For those of you that take reviews seriously, it is pretty apparent from the content/timing of the bad reviews that they don’t seem legit. I would highly recommend giving Aequis a try for yourself. The folks that were working there did a great job and we will be back.Pros + therapists, experience, locationCons – tough to get the appointment
I don’t know where to begin. I love this place. Frankly, I can’t really afford it – or any spa – at this time in my life but I make it work about 3x/year (and my husband knows to get me gift certificates there!) because what it does for stress is SO WORTH IT. I always get the 80 minute massage and then sit in the grotto afterward. The price of the massage may be a tad higher than at other places, and I almost put that down as a “con,” but the grotto is included which makes it waaaay worth it for what you get, since I’d pay just to use it! It’s like being transported to another place and time – a very roman baths feel or maybe it’s an ancient tomb feel (nice dim lighting too, which can be adjusted) but whatever it is, it’s amazing. You sit in this very large (small pool-sized) jacuzzi next to a beautiful tiled wall with tea candles and they bring you wine or champagne or tea or a few other options, with appetizers, and the ceiling above slowly changes colors and has stars!
