I had a massage at Estetica in St. Paul and I have to be honest, I have never been able to find a good massage therapist who graduated from the Aveda Institute. I had a male massage therapist, and was ready to relax. Well, I relaxed but kept waiting for the massage to start. His fingers/hands stroked me lightly like someone just touching your arm. I was starting to get irritated by the fact my muscles were not being worked. He spent a lot of time on fancy (unnecessary) draping technique which left me wondering... "I paid how much for this?". I've had a better massage from a massage intern. I was offered products which I know from researching Aveda are way overpriced. So I never buy Aveda products (they're drying to the skin anyway). Great building, bad parking and somewhat hard to find. I felt somewhat rushed into my appointment as a result.
