Tula Spa’s new team members are amazing! Both Carissa and Larissa provides such friendly, professional, and quality service. I’ve been getting deep tissue massages from Breanne and she is just as amazing as Amy’s — of course, both offering different types of massages! Tula’s got a very beautiful, calm, and relaxing space! Definitely a must try!

I had a wonderful facial at Tula this afternoon, given by Carissa. It was the best facial I’ve ever had! She takes good care of your skin and personalizes her approach. She did extractions with a gentle touch (unlike other facials I’ve had). I also appreciated that she didn’t push the products she sells. When I asked about the products she explained them but wasn’t pushy. Nice. You will be delighted with her facials!

Visited Tula when vacationing and had an amazing facial with Carisa. It was hands down the best facial I’ve ever had and I have been to a lot of different spas. She really made me feel relaxed and pampered and my skin was glowing when I left. My husband had a massage with Amy and he said it was awesome as well. I highly recommend a trip to Tula, you won’t be disappointed. These two women really know what they are doing and are absolute professionals at their craft. Great experience– wish we had a Tula in Denver!

Popped in for a facial today with Carissa, and I cannot believe how amazing my experience was. I don’t get facials often, and keep «testing» out new products and aestheticians, but now wonder why I ever did– I should have marched into this spa in the first place! My skin is glowing, and a few stubborn spots I have on my chin seem to have been smoothed out, and I have nary a pore. She is magic and I’ll definitely be back– have to book a massage with Amy next. Also love that this place is right in my neighborhood– yay for Tangletown!

I was really looking forward to my 90-​minute massage with Amy, but despite the rave reviews about her «magic hands» I was kind of disappointed. I’ve had therapeutic massages before and specified areas that I wanted her to focus on, but she went ahead with her own routine without really listening to my preferences. I definitely felt relaxed after the massage, but by the next day it was like I never had it. I will be looking elsewhere for a massage that is more in-​depth and more tailored to my needs.

Last Saturday I received the best facial ever, from Carisa! First off, the area of the location is quiet and wonderful. The interior design is spacious and bright which was very welcoming! The bed was warm (NOT hot) and very comfortable. I got the facial fusion and it really transformed my skin! My few breakouts went away and I was left with dewy, gorgeous* skin, without the oiliness! Its looking even better now that its been a few days. I’m definitely coming back in a couple months!

I recently had the pleasure of receiving both a 60 minute massage from Amy and a 75 minute organic facial from Carissa. The massage was amazing — my back is still feeling great a day later and the foot scrub at the end left my feet feeling really smooth.
It was my first time getting a facial and Carissa walked me through the process — apparently I have been missing out because facials are awesome! I don’t have anywhere else to compare to but it was half focused on my face and half arm/​neck massage all on a comfy heated table with soothing music and steam. I think there were at least seven different magic potions put on my skin. I went out that evening and someone actually told me I was glowing. My pores are pretty much gone right now! I loved it! Both Carissa and Amy were amazing — I will be back!

You won’t find a better place in town to treat yourself! The prices are fabulous and the service is even better! I’ve been seeing Carisa for about 2 years now, and she takes such great care of my skin. They just moved into a bigger, better space — which means you can now book a massage and facial back-​to-​back!
I stopped into to their new space for a facial with Carisa, and left feeling fresh and dewy! The new space is so gorgeous and much roomier, but still perfectly small and intimate especially when compared with the big salon spas in town which I love! After an awful winter my skin was in desperate need of attention. Luckily, Carisa performed some serious facial magic on my skin! She will always start out by asking if you have any issues or problem areas, that way she can tailor each and every facial to your specific needs. On top of a wonderful facial, you also get a shoulder, arm, and scalp massage (which is literally the BEST THING EVER!)
The other best part about your experience (other than, you know, the facial) is the awesome prices! My facial, pre-​tip, was $ 60! This is for a full hour of wonderful relaxation! I will never go anywhere else for my skin care, because I wouldn’t trust anyone but Carisa with my skin! If you go, prepare for compliments from your friends and family because they will definitely notice the difference and I mean, really, how often does someone compliment your skin?
Helpful hint: first time Tula customers get 25% off their first skin care service! Wahoo!

Warm, chic, and soothing environment by a dynamic duo! Tula’s new space is down to earth and inviting exactly what you want and expect as you prepare to get pampered. They left out the over top extra that usually hide lackluster services yet you walk into a sophisticated space that would fit in any big city. Tula is a must!
I can’t say enough about Amy’s magic hands. She listens to her clients as well as listen to their bodies to focus on what you want and what your muscles are screaming for. She is very knowledgable and experienced about how she approaches massage and about the natural and organic products she incorporates. I have yet to leave a massage with Amy not feeling complete relaxed ball of mush!
Carissa’s gentle, caring and experienced approach to all your beauty needs is not to be missed. From facials to waxing she makes it a point to give you want you want and what your skin needs all while doing it in a relaxed and peaceful environment. You will leave looking your best!
These ladies are at the top of their game and their skill rivals any spa in the twin cities all with reasonable prices! What more can you ask for?

I absolutely love Tula Spa. The new space is gorgeous, bigger, and quieter. Plus, Amy and Carisa have separate rooms now, so you can get a massage-​facial combo on the same day, which I really need to try ASAP.
I see Carisa nearly every month for a facial, and she. is. the. best. Why, you ask? 1) She creates the perfect atmosphere for her services, and is very skilled at her work. (Magic hands + skincare knowledge = WIN.) 2) She demands both natural ingredients and effectiveness from her products. 3) She is always on the lookout for new product lines to enhance her offerings, and tests them on herself to make sure they really work. 4) She is friendly, professional, kind, and keeps chocolate on hand. 5) She is the best value for money in town, no doubt in my mind.
All I’m saying is that if you want to get a massage or facial in SW Minneapolis, you HAVE to try this place. I promise that you will not be disappointed. These ladies are the greatest!

Tula’s new space on 48th and Grand is absolutely gorgeous. Warm, welcoming, classy… THE vibe you’d want for a massage/​facial getaway.
I’ve experienced several massages with Amy over the last year and consistently walk away feeling totally fabulous. Her gentle, healing touch is the perfect blend of relaxing and therapeutic… never too soft, but also never aggressive to the point of discomfort. And her cozy, dimly lit room and delicious post-​massage chocolate treats round out an overall beautiful experience.
I HIGHLY recommend Tula Spa!!!

I’ve been going to Carissa for facials and Amy for massages for the past year. Their customer service and personaled spa services are unparalleled. I can always count on thoughtful product recommendations that meet my needs. The new location is also great because of convenience to other local businesses and the fact that you can book with both Amy and Carissa on the same date.

Tula’s new spot on the corner of 48th and Grand is bigger and better! You walk into a space suffused with light: huge windows, high ceilings, white furniture. But, for the massage, Amy takes you to a warm, cozy room downstairs. I love this contrast. The shift in space is a great shift in mood too. As for the massage, Amy is brilliant at what she does. She speaks to you first to learn what you’re looking for and then she exceeds expectations. The massage never feels like being lightly patted or being mashed to a pulp. It’s calibrated pressure responsive to your body’s needs. I feel amazing for days after and it’s the only thing that conquers winter insomnia.
Additional perks to the new spot: Tula is now next door to a lovely vegan boutique that has food, gifts, even pet treats (veggie chips for dogs, oh yes!). And Patisserie 46 is two blocks way. Massage + chocolate croissant = bliss.
