Many people build ritual around self-care, or make it a daily practice. Others look at self-care as a way to revitalize, or treat themselves. However you define it — and no matter how you define yourself — Xenana welcomes you.

My friend told me Iva gave him the best massage he'd ever had so I booked an appointment with them. Iva was fantastic! They talked through my issues for a few minutes, offered the use of a couple different methods and then gave a fantastic deep tissue massage. They will definitely be seeing me again!

Fantastic! Thanks for the great review, Jon. We know how amazing Iva is and it's no surprise they gave you the best massage you've ever had. We look forward to seeing you next time! 
I love, LOVE Shubba! She is amazing! I have sent my sister and fiance to visit her and they love her as well. I do wish that Xenana offered a bridal package. I had made several appointments back to back to prep for my wedding. It would be nice to have it all available in one fell swoop. Luckily, Shubba helped me and saved me time!

Thank you for the love and for your great suggestion, Cherry. We will definitely consider that! 
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Shuba for a facial, and she is truly an amazing esthetician! From the moment I met her, her friendly demeanor put me at ease. She is incredibly knowledgeable about skin care and has a deep understanding of various skin types, care, and treatment, which made me confident that I was in expert hands. She took the time to understand my needs, making the entire experience both relaxing and personalized. Shuba’s expertise shines through in the way she performs her treatments—everything felt professional yet comforting. I left feeling refreshed and pampered, and I’m already looking forward to my next appointment. As long as her schedule is open, I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch skin care.
Shubba , you are the best.
Your facials and threading are amazing. I always leave with new knowledge on how to protect my skin. I look forward to every visit.
Thankyou.

Thank you, Joy! 
Tucked away in an unassuming storefront is a hidden gem – Xenana Spa. From the moment you step inside, you're instantly transported to a calm and cozy sanctuary, where a soothing ambiance and a warm mug of tea await you.
I've been fortunate enough to visit several times for a variety of services, and let me tell you – Xenana Spa never disappoints. Each visit has been a remarkable experience, thanks to the incredibly talented team. I’ve had the pleasure of booking with a few different staff members, and I can confidently say that each one has exceeded my expectations.
A year ago, I took my fiancé for his very first massage at Xenana – he couldn't believe what he had been missing! Shane was warm, attentive, and made him feel completely at ease, turning a first-time experience into an unforgettable one.
More recently, I’ve had the privilege of booking with Shuba, and she is nothing short of a dream. As I prepare for my wedding, Shuba has worked her magic to help me feel (and look) my best. Her expertise is top tier; and she’s generous in sharing her knowledge, taking time to explain the benefits of various products tailored to my skin type and age. Shuba even created a personalized self-care plan for me to follow in between appointments, ensuring I stay glowing long after I leave the spa. Her genuine kindness and thoughtful care are evident from the moment you meet her.
To the entire team at Xenana, thank you for your warmth and positivity. I always leave feeling completely rejuvenated, relaxed, and more connected to myself. If you're looking to unwind and treat yourself, Xenana Spa is the place to be!

Thank you so much for all your kind words, Olivia. 
I know of this place because of Shubha (facialist at Xenana) I haven't had a facial in a long time, one is overdue, but if I were to get one, it would only be with Shubha. She is well reversed in her art of giving facials, and also threading. I love it. I feel like a queen when I walk out of Xanana spa. Thank you Shubha 😊
Shuba does an amazing job with threading and skin care. I always get compliments on my eyebrows.
Highly professional, knowledgeable and kind

I first went to Xenana for pre-natal massage right after they opened back in 2008. Fast forward to a new phase of life and Shuba has been an absolute life-saver for my perimenopausal skin. She's the most skilled aesthetician I've ever been to, and I feel so grateful that my mom introduced me to her after experiencing similarly amazing results with Shuba's facials.
I’ve seen Shubha several times for facials and she is incredibly talented at her profession. Not only does she transform my face into a glowing, baby skin smooth surface, she takes the time to educate you on areas of improvement, such as at home care and avoiding sun damage (like a dentist and flossing, you can’t lie to your esthetician about whether or not you’re using sunscreen - they know!!).
She also is great at gently pushing other services, like eyebrow threading (she is an absolute expert at this as well, I can hardly feel a thing when she does it), eyebrow tinting, micro blading, etc. I sometimes have a hard time relaxing, but when I get a facial by Shubha, I often slip into moments of brief sleep and intense calm. It’s not only a service for your skin, but also a positive for your mental health.
The rooms at Xenana are absolutely gorgeous as well, so that definitely helps create a warm and serene vibe. Please go see Shubha for your skin services, your body and mind deserve it!

My first appointment at Xenana Spa was for a prenatal massage... And let me tell you, it was top 10 best experiences of my life. They have a special pregnancy pillow/support cushion that made getting comfortable (when I was a million pounds and swollen) so easy. The massage had me in tears as it was the best I had felt in my entire pregnancy... I was hooked...
Now that I am 2.5 years postpartum, I still return at least once every quarter because they are THAT GOOD. I can't rave about this place enough. They are warm, welcoming, communicative and very attentive to needs. If I could give this a 10 out of 5 stars I would.

Attn pregnant mamas: must go here! Went at 32 weeks and i was in awe that this was the most comfortable and at ease i had been my entire pregnancy. Just the positioning alone is 5/5 but Jennifer’s massage was an added bonus! Well worth every penny. Had gone to at least four other prenatal massage places before this and nowhere else comes close.
