Juniper Botanical Spa & Nail Artistry

I had a 60 minute acupressure massage with Alexis and I was really impressed. She asked questions about my preferred pressure, past illnesses, problem areas, etc. and really listened to my answers and incorporated my preferences into the massage. These seem like pretty basic questions for a massage, but I’ve had plenty of massages where the masseuse just dove right in without asking anything. The massage was very thorough and very relaxing, although she did have to focus on a couple of hard to manage knots in my upper back. The oil she used at the end of the massage was very relaxing. Definitely give Juniper a try!

This spa includes massage by Alexis and nails by Leah.
Location: Near Central and McDowell, close to the Hive acupuncture. The parking can be kind of a pain, as it’s a tiny lot, and it’s hard to get in and out.
Nails:
I have not had nails done by Leah at this location, but rather at her previous location at the Roose. Her nail designs are amazing, and she is super friendly. She told me to find specific nail designs to find prior to coming, and I had some cool birds painted on my nails. I had gel nails done, which looked great for over two weeks. Leah was friendly and personable during the nail appointment.
Massage:
I have now had two massages by Alexis and am going back soon! Alexis utilizes multiple techniques with the massage and asks lots of questions prior to the massage. She uses heat, hot stones, cupping, and electronic massagers (not sure what to call?) The atmosphere is calm, with interesting music and crystals. Alexis is super friendly, and it is easy to schedule with her — or at least for my schedule! The prices are comparable to other massages I have had and worth it! I can’t wait to go back!

Alexis has the touch of a true healer. The addition of hot stones and aromatherapy really pushed the experience to a solid 10. Hoping to go back soon!

The attention to detail from the start of making and confirming my reservation was so professional yet personal that I was not surprised walking into the first floor of an old adobe house to find it furnished with the latest equipment, impeccable arranged with focus to the client’s privacy. No parking issue with nice walk through old spanish courtyard to spa. I had a derma plane treatment with Leah 2 weeks ago and today relaxed with my second massage from Alexis. This is not a ‘fuff’ spa, these women seriously address your needs, back pain, skin issues. I walked out today standing straight relaxed and looking forward to enjoying my day. So glad I found them!

Alexis Starnes is amazing! I have been seeing her for massage for several years now. She makes you feel totally comfortable and always provides a superior level of service! She studies eastern medicine and I have also visited her for cupping therapy (which I find extremely therapeutic)!

If you are looking to get your nails done in Central Phoenix look no further! Leah, the owner of Juniper, is the absolute BEST. I was going to the same nail salon for over a year before I took a chance and made the switch to Juniper. My nails have never looked better or been healthier. I cannot say enough good things about this place or the people. The spa is gorgeous… So warm and inviting. Give Leah a call! You will not regret it! #SupportLocal
