When I got to the car after my wonderful massage with Alex, I called my husband and said I found my new place! Arpina offers many things that I liked about the old Spa 4179 plus some other unique touches. First, you are escorted to an attractive and clean restroom with lockers, clean towels, and even a shower. You are given a robe and slippers to wear to the relaxation room. Then, the therapist meets you and visits with you while giving you a relaxing foot soak. After that, I'm escorted to the massage room for a relaxing massage on a heated massage table. At the end, I'm offered several flavors of hot tea that's delivered to me in the relaxation room - there was also water, magazines, and some wrapped chocolates. I am recovering from a recent injury and I felt that Alex knew what he was doing to help stretch and work the tendons and ligaments. I really enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the massage area and I did not feel pressured to hurry up and leave. They also give you a ""membership card"" that tracks your visits and purchases for other rewards but there is not a cost or any kind of pressured sales. I will definitely return and would also love to try a facial, too!
