Alara Day Spa

My massage therapist Victoria was excellent. However, it is a little hard to actually get a hold of anyone to make an appointment here. I initially e-​mailed them about prices and making appointments, but after waiting a few days with no response, I called, and had to call a couple times before actually getting a hold of anyone to take down my information to make an appointment. Walking into the spa, I now realize that there aren’t any receptionists hired here, so all calls are taken by whoever the staff person is at the time. The spa itself is very beautifully designed, but the waiting area/​sit down area is very sparse (1 small chair to sit on for the entire large reception area), and the massage rooms are a bit basic and do not include any music, so occasionally you will hear traffic zooming along the road the spa is on.
Anyways, I went here with a Groupon and had the 90 minute deep tissue massage. Victoria really worked at all the areas where I had a lot of tension, and was very considerate and always making sure she was applying the right amount of pressure. The price here for massage is reasonable, $ 70 for 1 hour, $ 90 for 90 minutes, and it is cheaper for the regular Swedish massages. Afterwards, she had a few different tips on how to reduce tension in those areas, and was very good on educating me what type of massage would work best for me next time I seek massage therapy.
