Do you have Massage Envy?
**Disclosure: I received a complimentary massage and facial in order to facilitate my honest and unbiased review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.**
I was super excited for my FIRST facial and massage EVER! When I arrived at my local Massage Envy location in Avon, OH I was greeted by the friendly staff as soon as I walked into the door. Lori was awesome! She sat down with me and helped explained what they would be doing and a little bit about each service. She was also able to help me answer any questions I had and made me feel at ease. After I filled out my brief health history forms I met my personal massage therapist for the hour, Hillary.
The Massage Experience
Hillary was super friendly and helpful as we arrived at our personal room for our session. She set things up and left for me to undress. You should undress to your comfort level if your only okay with maybe a tank top and shorts so be it. I always have a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders and neck area and that was one area I wanted to focus on. Hillary was amazing at making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I stayed draped at all times so nothing was left uncovered that I didn’t want. She made sure to check in with me in case it was a little too much especially for being my first massage.
I never thought I would have some slight tension in my arms, hands, and even my legs. Let’s just say I heard and felt many good “pops” and balls of muscle tension released. Overall the session was amazing, by the end of the session I was feeling relaxed and less tense. We found that I need to work on my upper shoulders and forearms where I have the most muscle tension and how often I should come back in to maintain.
The Facial Experience
Acne is something I’ve struggled with and now that I’m older it’s starting to clear up with one problem area. My Esthetician, Lorene came in to start my facial session. We discussed my skincare concerns and started working on the treatment. I was surprised to learn that my skin was in overall good condition especially for someone who struggled with acne as a teenager and young adult.
We did two treatments of the Environmental Shield Vitamin C and a Clarifying Enzyme Acne to work on oil and blemishes in order to improve the tone and texture in my skin. During your facial session, the Esthetician massages your arms, shoulders, and neck. I left with some products in mind that can help me focus on clearing my skin for good and learned which ingredients to avoid for my skin type.
My Thoughts
Overall, my experience at Massage Envy was wonderful, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what I received. The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel welcome from start to finish. I don’t think I ever felt completely relaxed before, after both treatments my legs were wiggly because I was so relaxed.
I highly recommend them if you never experienced a massage or facial you must do so at Massage Envy! I know I will be back soon! Many locations are opened late nights and weekends so you can find the perfect day of relaxation that fits your schedule.
