Enigma Spa

I was in Sacramento because my husband was at a conference. I looked through the book at the crowne plaza and enigma spa had an advertisement and so I look them up online. The pricing was very reasonable compared to what I am used to in the Bay Area. I booked the treatment called «the perfect you». I have been to many high end spas and I have not had a massage as good as this in a long time. It was 3 treatments for $ 120 and each one was done impeccably. I would highly recommend this spa to anyone in the area.

My husband bought me a one hour massage and body scrub here. The massage was great and relaxing I really enjoyed. The lady was quiet so it was really relaxing. The only downside was there was so much noise going outside the room so each time it would distract you. Other than that the massage was great! Just wish the other people there would keep quiet.

Was looking forward to a relaxing massage, it was the worst massage, the ver young girl did not know anything about giving a good massage, I doubt really doubt if she was certified. She kept asking me in broken english too hard too soft, would massage me in places over and over again in the same place I had to keep reminder her her touch was way to soft, it was like she was stroking me, and Tickled me at the same time. lights were semi bright and not dimmed. I never once felt relaxed. I resent paying someone for a very amateur job. I go as far to say she was the owners daughter. A rip off at best! Save your time and money, what a scam

I came in here over the weekend. I purchased a Groupon for a package that included a body scrub, seaweed wrap, and facial. I’ve learned not to buy Groupons so hastily that I don’t check Unilocal/​reviews, but how bad could this be, right?
I got to my appointment a little early. The weather was ugly, I’d never been there before, and I hate being late. Right when I got there, I checked my phone. I got a voicemail from the spa asking if I could reschedule for the next day… o_​O I don’t think I would’ve had a problem with it if say, they had called earlier in the day. You know, before I braved the weather and last-​minute Christmas shopper traffic. Whatever. I’d driven all the way there, I was going inside. Luckily, when I got there, I was told my lady was on her way.
I had a bit of time to look around the place. Very nice, tucked inside a quiet office building. It wasn’t too hard to find but the signs did help. I was offered a beverage, so I opted for tea. It was SCORCHING. I could really only take one sip. A little bit before 2pm, some lady handed me a clipboard with some forms to fill out about medical information, some waiver, etc. She did not introduce herself, didn’t really say anything. Just gave me the clipboard and a pen, while her and the girl at the front desk prepared the spa treatments (I’m assuming).
Every treatment was done in the same room. At some other places, you’ll do one here, they take you to another room. Nope, just one room. I started with the body scrub. Let me just say that disposable undergarments are awkward. I’ve used the panties before, but a disposable bra was news to me. I just prayed I put it on right and hopped on the bed. The lady (cannot for the life of me remember her name) didn’t explain what type of scrub she was using, the ingredients, or any of that. But hey, I love a good scrub down, and this treatment was my favorite. I laid there and hoped none of my disposable underoos shifted while she was applying the scrub. She commented on how tiny my hands and feet were. «Precious,» is what she said. I had to laugh. I told her it’s a pain shoe shopping. Conversation wasn’t too much, but she was very casual and pleasant. Nice lady.
After the scrub was wiped off, she applied this seaweed stuff. I’d never had a seaweed wrap, so I didn’t know what to expect. Honestly, I imagined giant seaweed paper. But this stuff was more gel-​like, I’m assuming made from seaweed/​kelp. Again, she didn’t explain. I would’ve liked to know what kinds of products the spa uses, if it’s organic or not, and the ingredients. I’ve had one other wrap before, but it involved a giant tent over my body and lots of steam. With this seaweed wrap, I was wrapped in a couple layers of plastic and a giant heating blanket. I was afraid the plastic sticking to my skin and wrapped tightly around my feel would make me feel panicky and claustrophobic, but suprisingly I was good. A little itchy but shifting in my cocoon helped. The temperature wasn’t overbearing either. I thought I would start sweating or something but it was nice and toasty.
I guessed she was going to do my facial while I was wrapped up, and I was right. I was already half asleep when she started and I’m sure I lost consciousness for a minute or two. I just hope I didn’t snore in her face. For some reason, the most relaxation I feel is during some kind of spa treatment. I’ll even dare to say I’m more relaxed getting a facial than I am getting a massage. Weird right? I get some dang good massages though, so it’s a toss-​up. Since I was fading in and out, I can’t really tell you what was all put on my face. But there was definitely a steam machine going. And she used some kind of handheld machine with a brush on my face. The facial wasn’t bad but I’ve had better. I have a lot of sunspots/​freckles and they are usually diminished after a facial but this one didn’t quite do the trick. But my face is pretty soft.
After the facial, I was unwrapped and put a robe on to go rinse off the rest of the seaweed. I should’ve brought my clothes to the shower with me since the only robe I got had that goo on it. After the shower I tried to wipe off as much of that stuff from the inside of my robe, wrapped a towel around myself, put the robe back on and sneaked back to the treatment room to grab my clothes. Not a lot of guidance or instructions here. Which was fine for me since I’ve done the whole spa thing a lot, but for someone’s first time, they might be like, «Ok where the f do I go now?»
I headed to the front, showed my Groupon, and left a tip. This place is more like a 2.5 or almost 3. It’s not a bad spa. It was very quiet, even for being on Sunrise Blvd. Very nice and clean. The spa treatments weren’t horrible either, though I’ve had better facials. I didn’t look at all the other packages but it looked like they have a lot of good deals going on. I’m not sure if I would go back, but if you live in the area it’s worth checking out.
