V Spa

Fayth is fantastic! Nice experience. Productive facial. I recommend V Spa.

I am not a frequent spa-​goer and a pretty big stickler when it comes to price, but every massage I have had at The V Spa has been well worth every penny and more! I’ve been back numerous times now and each experience has been wonderful.
My first massage was with Richele who is really good at finding those nagging places that are giving you trouble and working them out. I was having a lot of lower back pain and all it took was one session with her and a couple days later I could feel the difference.
I’ve been to Fayth a couple of times most recently, and her technique is just fantastic overall. My calves were so tense my muscles were rock hard! One hour session with Fayth and everything is nice and relaxed again.
Excellent practitioners and friendly staff. Both gals were very accommodating to my personal needs and always listened. I’ll definitely be back!

I absolutely love the massage therapists at V Spa. I frequently need an appt quickly so having a choice of which therapist to see is not an option, however it doesn’t matter because a mediocre one doesn’t exist. They are all FANTASTIC! The atmosphere, music, professionalism is all A+.

I’ve had 2 amazing massages and 1 awful. At $ 80 each, when I complained about the awful one (politely) I expected either a refund or gift certificate so I would return. The manager listened, took my number, then never called. I’m leaving a 3 because you’re taking a chance you may have a good one.

Massage therapists are very skilled! There are too many to choose one, so I’m always open to see anyone. I always feel so relaxed when I leave.

I used to come here probably twice a month for massages when I lived in the area. Upon moving to Seattle, I’ve had a difficult time finding a place like the V Spa. I came back down a few weeks ago to get a facial with my mom and, hands down, BEST facial I have EVER had. It was incredible. Their prices are much more affordable as well, even compared to other places in Olympia that offer the same services. Their service is great, not perfect but still really great. I will continue to come here when I come home to visit family! Thank you, V Spa!

Went here for a massage and facial for the first time. Staff was very friendly, establishment was clean and nice. Staff was very sweet always asking if i needed anything. Getting me water and explaining everything to me. The worst part was how the whole time during my massage and facial I kept hearing loud obnoxious laughter/​chatter and slamming doors from the staff outside. I hope they realize that this is supposed to be a calm and relaxing experience and should speak softly and close doors quietly. This place was great but because of that issue it lost two whole stars from me. The whole reason for going is to relax in a zen like quiet environment. But other than that, everything else was great.

I used to love this place, but in the past couple of years I feel like the customer service at the front desk is lacking. I think it’s time to switch spas. The technicians are still amazing, so if you can deal with no one returning your phone calls and lack luster service when you check-​in this still might be a good choice.

I have only been here for massages and would highly recommend Julie. She is the best masseuse I have ever been to. I have back issues and she has been a lifesaver for me. If you are looking for a really good massage — you’ve found it here.

Awesome staff! Great services :) LOVE IT!

Kate did an outstanding massage this morning. She is well trained, considerate and very pleasant. I will request Kate next time for sure. If you want to feel good after your massage get Kate.

My friend and I went to the V Spa on Monday for a relaxing ladies’ day. It was pretty relaxing, but the services, on the whole, were not awesome.
The staff there was kind, attentive, and gracious, and the whole place appeared tidy and clean, which I very much appreciated. But there were many details missed that made the experience a 2-​star instead of 4 or 5-​stars.
First, when we arrived, my friend and I were each shown to a dressing room so we could get our robes on. We emerged and almost started laughing: my friend’s robe was tiny — so much so that she was constantly tugging it and wondering if she was flashing everyone. My robe was enormous (I am not an exceptionally small person — this robe was HUGE), so much so that I had trouble filling out my intake form because the sleeves were swallowing my arms. My friend and I were able to go back into a dressing room and switch robes to make things a bit better, but had this been two strangers, the sizes would have been so weird — it would have been much better to offer two sizes in each room, or to say, «This room has an XXL robe and this one has a S — which would you prefer?»
I went in for a pedicure next, which was mostly relaxing. They did this on a massage table, basically, with a warm eye mask on my face, so the foot pampering was really lovely and relaxing. However, after an hour of lying still and flat, this hurt my back. And while the paraffin wax and massage and such were nice, the polish job is one of the worst I’ve had. It appears the technician put many many coats of polish on, because it’s several shades darker than what I expected but looking at the bottle I chose — and my nail trim is not straight, nor is the polish all on my nails (plenty on the toes). My friend and I both had smudged nails before we left the spa, despite being very careful with our polish — and hers started chipping 2 days later.
Hm. Well, I came out of the pedicure and we had ordered lunch to be served in the quiet room — it was lovely. We both ordered salads, and received delicious food in a nice-​sized portion. It was a treat to eat it right there in the quiet room. They did not bring us any napkins, which was strange (ended up wiping my hands on my bathrobe), but lunch was still good.
Then I went in for my facial — it was my first facial, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was actually really good, I think. Not entirely relaxing (ack! hot towels covering my face = claustrophobia!), but this was as much about me as it was about the technician, I think. She listened carefully to what I thought my skin issues were, prepared the facial accordingly, and I came out with glowing skin (several days later, it still looks great!).
Unfortunately, I also came out with very very greasy hair — she must have used a ton of oil during the scalp massage, something I wasn’t prepared for. I could have showered in the changing room (nice huge shower!), but there was no hairdryer, brush, or even a mirror in there, so I’m not sure how the shower would have made me look any more ready for the appointment I was going straight to afterward.
In short, lunch was good, but you could just go to the café for that. Next time I will get a facial and ask for no oil in the hair, then head to the nearest strip mall for a cheaper — and probably better — pedicure.
It wasn’t an overall terrible experience — they just missed too many details for me to spend that kind of money there again.

So my friend gave me a gift certificate for a massage at the Vspa. She had purchased it at an auction in December and gave it to me in January as a gift for helping her. When I called to make an appointment the day after I received it I noticed that it was expired. I called anyway and asked if they would honor it as it was only issued in December and I thought that the 30 day expiration must be a mistake. I mean, who donates to a charity auction but only gives the winner 30 days to redeem? Seems deceitful to me. IF you dont want to donate with a reasonable time to allow for use, then dont donate at all. This seems like a bait and switch. Like a way to get your name out there as being involved in the community and donating but giving an unreasonable time to use. I have been to many auctions and have even organized them myself and have never seen this practice done.
So, I was in a quandry and only told my friend who gave it to me, when she asked a few months later, how my massage was. I felt embarrassed but told her what happened and she was mortified and called the V Spa that Friday trying to figure out why the certificate was only give a 30 day expiration. She was told they would honor it IF I came in that weekend, the next day, on Sat or Sun. I have 3 kids in sports and it was my daughters bday weekend so ti was very tough to rearrange my weekend with such short notice but I did not want to lose the massage so I made it work.
ONTO the actual experience as if the above wasn’t bad enough.
I was brought into a «quiet waiting room» before my treatment. I walked in to a room where there were two big bowls of dirty used water on the floor, obviously from earlier in the day or the night before — foot soaking tubs. The hostess drained the water into the sink in the same room and then slid them back under the chairs I did not see any soap or sanitizing and that grossed me out big time. It is possible that she did and I didnt see it, but I really did not see anything used to clean them, just the draining of the water.
Then I was brought back to the massage room. My appt started 15 minutes later than it was supposed to but I was trying to get into my «zen» and didnt complain. The massage therapist was horrible. She was sweet but very very ineffective.
I have had several massages in my life and this was by far, the worst. I don’t wish to ruin this young womans practice so I wont say her name, but lets just say if you are reading this you will know who you are.
She used her elbows almost the entire time. It felt like she was trying to strip my veins. I dont know how else to put it. She pressed her elbows into my back, would lean, strip my veins, and then release. Over and over. There was no massage to speak of. She spent very little time on my legs or arms and again used her elbow. I dont know that her hands touched my body more than 15 minutes during the entire massage. She massaged my head like a girzzly bear trying to eat a marshmallow for about 2 minutes. I wanted to ask her to stop honestly and should have. It was almost laughable.
The ambiance in the room was nice but I could hear the other workers laughing, talking loudly, and rolling open, and shutting doors the entire time. It was very hard to get relaxed and trust me, it doesn’t take much for me to let it all go.
The massage therapist cut my massage short by 15 minutes. Whats funny about that? I didn’t mind. I was actually looking forward to getting off the table and going home.
Based on this experience, I would not go back to the vspa again nor could I recommend it. You might have a better experience with another massage therapist but it is so loud in there I am not sure how anyone could «zone out».
I will go to Radiance next time I am paying for a massage.

Julie for massage — she is amazing. I have horrible neck issues — carry all of my stress in my shoulders and neck. She does an AMAZING job of loosening me up and getting rid of the rigidity in my neck. She has very strong hands and has worked with Chiro’s so knows how to do mild adjustments.
Never had a bad massage with her and I’ve had way over 10. Quite when I need her to be (when I feel like dropping into a coma) or talkative when I am. Always a delight.
Would never go to another therapist at the v-​spa. She’ll be worth the wait!

Visited V Spa for the first time and I was blown away. I was pleased with the ease of making the appointment and how friendly the receptionist was to extremely pleased when I went into the Spa for my appointment. I received my massage from Andrew, a masseuse (sp?) that has 12+ years experience was by far the BEST I have ever had. He was able to release tension in my hand and collar bone that Ive had pain in for 15+ years! The professionalism, the cost, the customer service, the cleanliness and the staff was amazing! I will only return there from now on! HIGHLY RECOMMEND V SPA! :)

I go there for waxing and love it! Gina is great and the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is private.

Pedicure. Went ahead and booked the «deluxe» pedicure. The girl rushed through the pedicure while complaining the whole time (to her coworker who sat in the same room doing manicures) that she wasn’t getting a lunch today and that she was already exhausted. For that price I would have driven to Portland or Seattle for a little more service. No massage, no exfoliation, no relaxing atmosphere. No one offered water, tea or coffee while I waited (15min after appt time). My 45min «deluxe» treatment turned into a 25min polish/​lotion appt. The «massage» chair had one setting and the girl didn’t even know how to use it. Very disappointing. Will not be going back for any services.
