My husband bought me a package for Christmas. The sitting room, with offered tea was amazingly beautiful, although a little on the chilly side seeing as I was barefooted and in a robe. The massage was as well amazing. That was the best part. I had a facial next and although it seemed a little short, it was well done too. Next I had a manicure and pedicure and was not prepared for the "organic" practices of this Aequis. No electric tools are used and ALL filing and picking is done by hand with organic style simple tools. Only as I am used to the speediness of the drills and such, I was not used to the lengthy picking and hand-filing. I just wish I had known in advance to prepare myself. After my treatments, I was welcomed to lounge at my leizure in the sitting room once again with tea. Again, this room seemed chilly and I found myself seeking out one of the tiny floor space heaters and huddling next to it. The NICEST suprise......after my treatments, a lady turned on a beautiful shower for me and asked if I may like to shower before I go. HOW SWEET IS THAT!? This place is different, and with the exception of a slightly chilly but georgous sitting room. It was a nice experience.
Pros: Super friendly staff. GREAT massage tech.
Cons: Chilly sitting area. Yucky downtown parking.

I have been getting massages for years, but have never had a "spa massage" experience. WOW! You definitely get what you pay for. For the moment I walked in, my experience was very calm and relaxing. The entire staff was very nice and accommodating. There was a wonderful foot bath/scrub to start which set the tone of relaxation. Then I got to choose my favorite essential oils. The massage was amazing, with a "put you to sleep" scalp massage afterwards. The experience concluded with a hot waterfall shower. I will go back to Aequis time and time again, and definitely recommend to everyone I know.
Pros: Ambience, Staff, Products, Location
