bad massage, amazing facial/scrub/manicure/pedicure 3/25/2008

I am a weekly massage client and have been to various center city spas as well as spas around the country. i was eager to try rescue since i had read about so many fabulous reviews. I must say that Gina gave me, probably the best manicure and pedicure treatment that I have ever experienced. her work is detail oriented and her attention to customer service is remarkable. I had the absolute pleasure of getting a facial and sugar scrub by vanessa. AMAZING and so relaxing. she was kind and sweet and truely paid attention to my skin needs. her recommendations were terriffic, and i could have fallen asleep i was so relaxed and at peace. i would go back to both of these women in a heartbeat. on the other hand, my massage experience was a dissappointment. Every week i get a massage and this week my therapist was out of town. I tried michelle and was not happy with this massage. I like a deep yet relaxing and calming massage. her strokes were so fast that i felt unable to rest. i felt like i was going to get swept off of the table. the entire time it felt as though she was rubbing bone to bone rather than hand to muscle. it was uncomfortable and i was unable to relax at all. she is probably very talented as it seems she has a huge client base including professional athletes, but personally, i like a massage where i feel relaxed and this was not that type of swedish massage. i was not even able to close my eyes. Overall, the spa is beautiful and i would go again. the service was kind and generous. the changing rooms were a bit small and confining, but again, cozy and quaint, and very clean. the girls at the front desk called you by name which was very comforting. the spa is everything it should be, i just did not enjoy this massage experience- very very sore the next day and my whole body is in pain..even my bones. Pros: ambiance, customer sevice, facial, manicure, pedicure, makeup, scrub Cons: massage more
