I went into Diamante with no make-up and sweat clothes. I didnt feel like having to look like I could afford to go to the spa, I was having a rough week and was in need of some real TLC. I scheduled my appointment with Danny who was more than helpful with me on the phone... I didnt know what I wanted to do, I just wanted to feel good. He suggested a few packages and asked what type of massage I liked and if I wanted male or female. Upon arriving I felt welcomed like I was an old friend. I filled out my intake was served cucumber water, (which was much better than I would have expected) while sitting in a reclining massage chair. Before anyone even touched me I began to feel relaxed and knew I was in the right place. Jessica was so sweet, she showed me back to the petite locker area, zen lounge and bath chicly decorated in rich chocolate browns and burgundy. I could smell the fragrance of my favorite incense "nag champa'. I soaked for about 20 minutes sipping on a deliciously peculiar blend of herbal steeped tea. My therapist Cheri came to greet me with her lovely smile and walked me to my massage room suite. The ceiling was adorned with silk fabrics and the music was just so relaxing. She asked me if I had any problem areas, Tucked me in and then started my session with lovely aromatherapy oils she said the owner Tara custom made. Her hands just knew where I was sore. And every motion brought me closer to heaven. My breath became still and my mind let go of every single thought. I was impressed. It was the best massage I had in years. She just connected with me so well. Danny knew she was the right match for me!
I floated back to the zen lounge and stared at the lovely Amazon kissing fish. Brooke took me in for my organic facial. And just when I thought it couldnt get any better, well... this little gem could really give a facial! And the products, I bought the whole line! They are all natural, petrochemical free and ionically balanced. Wow, an education to! Next time I'm going to do their Specialty CryStem cell treatment with pure frozen DNA. I will go to Diamante and to Brooke for facials for life! My skin looks amazing. I didnt know it could look so good. After that I could hardly walk to my pedicure. Natalya was superb. Lovely lady from Russia with amazing technique. She gave the most detailed full hour pedicure and she spoke English! (everyone does at Diamante). What a treat. I've always had express pedicures in asian salons and didnt know there was that much of a difference. Now I know.
Before leaving I got to meet the owners. Wow, Tara is amazing. She told me she opened the spa in 1989. Her and her husband Eduardo (beautiful man) own the spa and are both practitioners. I looked over her bio later and saw all the 100 things shes certified in and what a great energy the two of them project in that spa for their guests and their staff! Its so nice to see beautiful people who worked so much to create something wonderful succeed! I highly recommend Diamante. After reading some of the not so nice reviews, I decided to go anyway because it felt like my kind of place. I guess everyones entitled to their 'opinion' even if its not nice and not true at all! Maybe its not for those who are use to bright white shwanky spas that you have to dress up for. To me, its the most relaxing, cool, hip, zen, professional, clean and friendly spa I've ever been to. Its real! Its laid back and comfortable. Its the "cool" peoples spa!
I love it and I will be a regular. And no one looked me up and down because I wasnt dressed in designer!
Diamante is truly one of its kind.
