Liv did a great job! Relaxing facial, nice atmosphere, explained the steps she was doing, but wasn’t overly lengthy. Thanks!

The facial Emily gave me transported me to cloud nine! I’m so happy she recommended adding dermaplaning because she scraped years off my face. The infrared sauna was HOT and revitalizing. The scent of the Moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner in the shower was a heavenly ending to a relaxing visit.

Karin is so kind and completely rescued my nails, as usual. She had to work fast to remove gel before the mani and she was gentle & expedient all while being gracious and calmly chatting. My massage with Phet was incredibly effective though I only opted for 30 minutes. She focused on my back and neck and made a huge difference in my aches. I love that there’s a hot stone element included in the massage experience. Wonderful experience and result. Thank you so much, Emerald City!

I love going to this relaxing spa conveniently located in the downtown Minneapolis skyway after work! This spa offers high quality products for facials, waxing, massages, etc. and new amenities such as an infrared sauna and traditional sauna. It’s always a relaxing time to unwind here and the employees all know how to make you feel calm and welcome!

Delayne gives the best massages, I don’t even live in Minneapolis but any time I am in town, I manage the squeeze in a massage here. I always feel great afterwards.
