Deep Canyon Spa & Salon

I had the most AMAZING massage yesterday by Ellen! She knew where every tension spot were and worked them out until they were released. I’ve had many massages done, but THIS was the BEST I’ve ever experienced! Strong hands, kind spirit. I will totally make an appt again the next time I’m visiting Zion.

I was disappointed by this spa. I made an appointment specifically telling the receptionist I wanted to come in as I had a head cold & a lot of pressure on my sinuses, which I was hoping a massage would help with. I was asked for a credit card to secure my reservation, which I thought funny as it was only 45 minutes to the appointment time — what, were they worried I’d cancel at the last minute?!? When I arrived, I was told that they were sorry, but none the staff would agree to work on me (due to the head cold). While I understand not wanting to get sick — I wasn’t planning to cough on them, share saliva or otherwise infect them. I would have been fine with someone using a mask if that made them more comfortable, but I was left feeling like a leper as it was. Why not have a policy against anyone coming in who has a cold if this is the outcome? To make matters worse the receptionist who was awkwardly apologetic about the whole thing then offered to sell me some cream that might help with my sinuses and when I asked about their adjoining restaurant as I’d skipped my hotel’s complimentary breakfast to come to the massage appointment she brightened and said she could probably get me a $ 1 off coupon to the breakfast buffet as compensation. Ummm, you insult me, try to upsell me, and then try and buy me off cheaply? It would have been better at that point to offer nothing vs $ 1. No thanks — moving on to a more professional environment and staff.

This spa is located inside Flanigan’s Inn. I had an amazing massage done by Naomi (I hope I’m spelling her name right). I did the steaming sacred river stone massage, 1 hour was $ 95. It was a full body massage that incoporated heated stones, wasn’t sure if I would like it at first just because I like firm pressure so I wasn’t sure how firm she could go not using her hands and using a stone, but somehow it worked. She kept the chit chat to a minimum, and didn’t try to sell me anything, bonus points for her. My 3 other friends also had services done, and each were very happy, I believe Ellen was another therapist who scored big points with my friends. I can’t remember the name of the girl who did 2 of my friends eyebrows but she was great as well. They have a lot of services to offer from, massage, couples massage, alternative healing, facials & body wraps, and a full service salon. A huge plus is they use organic ingredients.
