Reviews of East Village Spa
Mary Spicer
Just wanted to chill after hassling with the downtown parking meter. One way to rezone is with a relaxing hydra facial. The new location of the East Village Spa is roomy enough to meet your rejuvenation zen.This upscale opulent treatment gives you a moment to recharge and relax. The quarters are spacious with a plethora of high end facial products with extended sections to meet most of your preferred health options. My thanks to Cass, a 16 year aesthetician, who did a superb job!
Suchita Gawas
My first experience at East village spa was amazing. the staff at front desk were pleasant and inviting. Space was clean and fresh smells heavenly
The space for facial treatment was clean and I was asked what kind of treatment I was looking for and what were my concerns. The facial was too good and also the therapist was amazing. I am going back next week for my body scrub and will continue updating my review
Till then kudos ❤️
Jamie H
I chose the 60 minute EV signature massage. My therapist Holly was excellent. My very first massage experience went perfectly. I felt valued from check in and Holly made me feel comfortable from the moment she greeted me. The room and equipment were clean, music and sounds helped me relax and the products used smelled nice and light. Loved the hot stones. I would book again.
Kevin Beck
What a FANTASTIC experience!! Even before I walked through the door, I could see the receptionists were smiling. I felt welcome before even entering the spa. When I did enter, I was met with a very pleasant & cheery, "hello!" After checking in, I was immediately offered a choice of beverages while I waited. The peach tea was out of this world! My massage hadn't even started but I was already feeling relaxed and content. Amazing!
After a very short wait, I was led back to the massage room by my masseuse, Paige. She was kind, caring, and welcoming from the moment that we met at the waiting room. I instantly felt welcomed and knew that I was in for a real special experience. Spoiler Alert... It WAS!
I've worked construction my whole life. I am now working as a large machine mechanic. I spend everyday using ladders, kneeling on steel, crawling on concrete, climbing over machinery, climbing under machinery, etc. etc. etc. Sore muscles are just part of the job. Paige found every knotted, sore, bruised, strained, and stretched muscle. She soothed them all! I was amazed!
She's fantastic!
East Village Spa is amazing!
The whole experience was just incredible!
Thank you!
Amber Muntz
I had recently moved back to IA after living in AZ for 8 years and needed to find a new spa. This is the place to go if you are looking for a relaxing time. I got the signature massage which included hot stones, hot towels, and either a cooling mask or sugar scrub on your back. My therapist applied medium pressure so the stones did not hurt. I would highly recommend East Village Spa to everyone.
Sandra Waller
I had been looking for a massage therapist with decent pressure for quite some time and I finally found someone I plan on going to regularly! He started off firm and it was absolutely firm pressure, had to have him back off just a little but it's great to know that there is more in the tank if ever needed!
Justin gave me after care tips/pointers, for someone new in the massage world, this is necessary!
Thank you so much!
Overall experience: Walking it, it's a very friendly environment! I didn't feel out of place what so ever being a plus size woman wearing sports attire, lol! Staff was friendly and offered hot/cold drinks. Also the organic chocolate that they sell was delicious!
Nat P
Always a wonderful experience. I see Holly pretty often for targeted massages and she always remembers what we did previously and adapts her massages to target what I need. The reception staff are super welcoming and the new location keeps the relaxing atmosphere (honestly I think the new location is even better!). Definitely recommend.
Adam Jacobs
My wife and I did a couples massage at EV Spa and the massage therapists were incredible. They found every muscle that needed work and got us loose and relaxed. The whole experience - from scheduling, to check-in, to the massage itself, and even the education about different muscles - was great and I would recommend this for other couples (or if you just want to treat yourself).
Alicia Shyu Love
I always have a great time at East Village Spa. The staff is always friendly and professional. Their new location has easy parking access.
My last appointment was with Gloria for a 60min massage. She was so good, and gt me so relaxed that I almost felt asleep 😅
I highly recommend this place for a little R&R.
Jackson Lashier
I recently switched massage therapists as mine was further away from home than I preferred and I wasn’t getting the relief I was looking for even with direct communication. I’ve had 3 massages with Klay and I cannot recommend him enough. He listens to what I say and works exactly what I need. I have had chronic back pain for years and finally can target the correct muscles to feel relief in between visits. I’ve been in pain for SO long and he’s already brought me miles of relief in a short time. I have referred my wife to EV spa and look forward to using their services for a long time. The front desk is always helpful and calming. Everything is clean and smells great. The massage rooms are the perfect temperature and ambient lighting and music. The chocolate offered on the way out is an extra bonus on top.
Cheryl Fontanini
Everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and professional. My therapist, Trevor, was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable and my massage was the best I've had! I strongly recommend East Village Spa!
Lacy Johnson
Had my very first massage ever and I feel amazing! The staff were very friendly and offered me a beverage when I walked in. Klay was super sweet and helped me feel very comfortable! I highly recommend EV Spa!
Elizabeth Gonzalez
My husband was trying to get us scheduled for a couples massage for my birthday in November but they were booked out until January. He was offered to be placed on a cancelation list. They called him within a couple of weeks to offer an opening and he took it. He had us scheduled for a couples massage. As I walked in, the staff greeted my husband and I. Within minutes after checking in, we were called back. This was my first time getting a message and I had the pregnancy massage. Kirstie was my massage therapist and she asked if there were any areas she needed to focus more. My problem areas were my neck, shoulders, lower back, & hip. She informed me of what I would expect in the massage and that helped me be more at ease. Kirstie did a amazing job! I felt relieved and satisfied with my overall experience after checking out.
I do hope to go back.
Mia Mauro
My fiancé and I got a couples massage with Trevor + Kirstie, and we had such a nice time! They were both professional and personable, and made our visit really enjoyable. My fiancé hasn't stopped talking about how much he loved it since we left the spa. Thanks again, Trevor and Kirstie!
JL Warren
This is a wonderful spa with great service, knowledgeable staff, and facilities worthy of high ratings. I have been there 4 times, and will continue to book appointments regularly. I look forward to frequenting the new location!
Jess Diaz
Julie was absolutely wonderful! I recommend her hands down for any massage needs you may ever require. She had purpose behind every touch. Her hands are truly magic. She gave me a bigger gift than I'm sure she will ever realize. I left relaxed and beyond satisfied with the services she provided me. Thanks again Julie, love you and all you did for me today, I will definitely be seeing you again!!
Darin Leonard
Excellent anniversary couples massage!! Very nice and clean, super friendly great staff! Would recommend for all!
Sarah Cronin
I love this place! I've been going here for the last three+ years and will not get a massage or wax anywhere else. The staff is courteous and professional. They know a lot about the products they are using which makes me feel very comfortable. The spa is clean and atmosphere is relaxing. Another big plus is the online booking! It's pretty easy to book a service and you can do it at any time. They will send a text or email before your appointment to confirm. I would recommend this spa to family, friends, whoever!
There's also convenient parking!
Eva Vogt
I went here to get a facial and it was one of the best experiences I have had. Blaire was amazing, professional and explained everything to me when it came to products and the services she was going to provide. I have sensitive skin and all of the products used on me didn’t irritate my skin at all. I definitely recommend this spa for anyone who is new to getting facials or wants somewhere new!
Kari Ungs
Great atmosphere and staff. The massage itself was very enjoyable. They had a lot of products for sale as well which made it nice to buy what they used during my session. Definitely will be going back!
Jennifer W
I booked a massage for today and it was great. My therapist Kirstie was very accommodating and made me feel comfortable. She found spots I didn’t even know were sore or needed attention. It was truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place. I was nervous when I booked that the mask policy would get in the way of me being able to relax, but it didn’t. It was a nice and relaxing afternoon.
Colleen Dermody
The staff was very kind and professional. The 60 min massage included hot towels, hot stones, and an exfoliant. The massage was both relaxing and helpful in working out any knots.
Linnea DeWaard
I had my first facial ever before at East Village Spa today. It was AMAZING. I had Blaire and she did such a great job. I can't even explain how incredible this experience was! I can't wait to have another one!
Robbyn Duchow
I absolutely loved my experience here. The 60 minute signature massage incorporated hot stone massage and my choice of a exfoliating scrub or moisturizing mask for my back. This allowed me to experience hot stone massage for the first time. Everything was relaxing and Clay did a wonderful job working all my stress out!! I’ll definitely be going back. 💕
Sara Blanchard
What can I say but best spa experience, hands down. I'll never go anywhere else and will always recommend them!
sophie j
I love this place! I got my first hydro facial today and I’m so glad I didn’t go somewhere else, it was amazing! I had a massage right afterwards which was also great. Super professional and good communication throughout my experience. I will definitely be back!
Mary Nepple
Jamee is Amazing! She focused on my areas of pain and left me feeling so much better leaving there than when I walked.in. One of the best I've ever had in my life. Already booked my next 4 week appt with her.
Wynter Jaques
I get monthly custom facials by Blair and my skin has never been better. It’s my favorite part of every month, and I use all of the products she recommended. Their app makes everything so easy too. I just love it!
Heather Wachendorf
Very clean and calming. Would have found a welcome call helpful before my first visit. I was late because parking is behind the building. Also needed to arrive early to do paperwork and didn't allow for that so my massage time was reduced. The massage was very good and she responded to my preferences.
Annie
I have been going to the East Village Spa for three years now. I started going for issues related to whiplash. My massage therapist, Hannah, always does amazing work and listens to my needs and feedback. After our sessions, she also recommends stretches I can perform at home to ease my muscle pain. The front desk staff recognizes me by name, and I always feel welcome and calm when I step inside. The spa is dedicated to keeping an accepting, clean, and calming space.
Holly
My wife and I came here right before our wedding and we couldn't be more pleased. We actually arrived 15 minutes late and they still were still super kind and professional. Not only that, but they were incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly and have the most amazing chocolate!! Can't wait to go back when we visit Iowa again and highly recommend Trevor and Anna!
Priscilla M
I got the couple's suite for my husband's bday, he is a veteran and has chronic back pain, so he had the targeted massage, and I'm 8months pregnant so I had the pampering pregnancy massage. We both loved it, I found it very relaxing and my husband said the massage really helped with the pain, thanks a lot for that! We will be coming back soon!
Erin Poindexter
Best, most professional spa in Des Moines. I usually see Jennifer for my massages but have come to know a lot of the staff personally. They are incredible, friendly, inviting and professional. Jenn is amazing at what she does. Truly a natural. I am a hairstylist and an aerialist which means I’m very achy and tight but Jenn is very knowledgeable on what specific areas and muscles to work. She is sweet and caring and is always listening. She is very thorough during our consultations. Cassie, the owner of the spa, has background in massage. I’ve been told by many of her employees that she is a great person to work for and takes care of her team very well. All around an amazing small business with an upscale feel. If you are from Des Moines or just passing through, I would absolutely recommend scheduling an appointment!
Hannah Everly
I'd like to preface this with I researched many spa/massage places in the area and loved how down-to-earth this place seemed!
I was completely blown away by the professionalism and kindness of everyone! The atmosphere is comforting, facilities are clean, and best of all, the staff is so sweet and inviting. Pricing is perfect and affordable, too!
Hannah was my massage therapist today. She communicated well, did an outstanding job, and was just so awesome!
I scheduled my next appointment before I left!
Seriously check this place out!
Edited to add:
The safety practices are top notch! I felt safe here. Their cleanliness is appreciated greatly!
Kristina Braun
I don't typically write reviews, but East Village Spa really impressed me. Today was my first visit to East Village Spa, having received a massage as gift from my husband. I'm lucky to be able to get massages regularly, mostly at boutique spas and luxury resorts, and I truly think my therapist, Trevor Grefe, gave me one of the best massages I've ever had in my life. The spa is clean, and well equipped with delightful, professional staff. I will be returning regularly to Trevor, and couldn't recommend him or the East Village Spa highly enough!
jnx0120
On the verge of crying from pain build up. Tried out a short massage session and it helped relieve some discomfort. Really didn’t want to leave when my appointment was over. Thank you Anna!
Sandy Tatge
As a professional cellist and Pilates person, I build up a significant Amount of muscular tension weekly. I have been seeing massage therapist Conny once a week for about 2 years now, and can attest to the fact ( due to many many years of massage with many massage therapists ) that she is the best masseuse that I have ever used. I leave every week feeling
Rejuvenated! She is a thorough going professional and the salon is observing all the state and city
Mandated protocols so I feel safe in being in their spa. I strongly recommend the experience provided by this excellent Spa.
Alex Littler
I went to East Village Spa to get my first massage ever. The staff were extremely friendly and the environment was very relaxing. I had Becky as my massage therapist, and she was amazing! She created a calm and soothing environment and was very good about assessing my comfort level and target areas. I enjoyed everything about my experience at East Village Spa and will definitely be returning!
Becca DeVries
My husband and I look forward to our monthly couples massage with Camden and Connie. SERIOUSLY THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME! Cannot emphasize enough how amazing and professional this place is. And even when we can't get our two preferred massage therapists, everyone else we have gotten is still quite amazing. Every other place I have been to doesn't hold up compared to The East Village Spa. Highly recommend and is worth the investment!
Mindi Callison
I spent the afternoon visiting the East Village Spa and I haven’t been this relaxed in a very long time 💚
Because of all of their Covid precautions and safety measures, I was able to feel comfortable and safe while taking care of my mental (and physical) health. For anyone in Central Iowa who needs a massage or spa treatments but has been hesitant due to the pandemic: please check them out. You will be in amazing hands.
Christopher PinkRolo
I was scheduled a targeted massage by my partner. I had not had a targeted massage previously. This was a massage very specific to what I needed to feel better and holy cow did it work! I will have to return for another because the damage done was years ago and there were parts of the massage that were very painful. However, I would highly recommend this place and Jennifer, specifically, for a targeted massage even with the pain. The relief is worth it! Thank you!
Suzanna Sieren
This is a phenomenal spa! My husband I have gone for years and won’t go anywhere else! All the massage therapists are excellent! We’re currently seeing Conny and Hannah, and they are perfect! They know exactly how to help with out specific needs. My husband does the athletic massage, and it’s really helped him! I really love the signature massage. It’s a wonderful, relaxing environment with talented therapists and friendly staff!
Kelly White
My hubby and I decided to treat ourselves to a couples massage for Valentines Day.
I have seen Hannah many times and she always does a great job. Listening to my needs and customizing my massage to make it very beneficial.
My husband had a massage from Karen who also did a great job.
Both Hannah and Karen are knowledgeable and caring.
East Village Spa is located downtown and has free parking for clients which is a huge convenience. 5 Starts!
Jennifer Domengeaux
Booking online was a breeze. I was greeted with a warm welcome upon entering the spa. Conny, my massage therapist, was fabulous. She listened to me and delivered a magical touch that both relaxed and eased my tight muscles. I would highly recommend East Village Spa and Conny. You won’t be disappointed!
C & J White
Loved my recent massage! Walked in from a busy, crazy day into a serene, calm place. The front desk person was welcoming. The massage therapist was great. The LMT listened to my concerns and did a great job helping me to relax and worked out the problem areas. She also made helpful suggestions regarding products to use at home without any pressure to buy. Totally worth the price! I'll definitely be back!
Amy Eaton
Much needed self-care! Paige was phenomenal and I've got my next massage booked. Highly recommend East Village Spa!
Charlotte Richards
I have really loved every massage I’ve gotten from here, and everyone working the front desk have been so friendly and good to work with. I downloaded their app recently to get an appt, and everything worked well on it except for the health form.
Kelsey Hedinger
We've been here several times for couple's massages and other services. EV has treated us well. We always leave feeling very pampered. The complementary tea and water is a nice touch. Their signature massage us WONDERFUL.
The only complaint I have is that we are spoiled by EV now and any other spa is just OKAY. (:
Eric Parra
I asked a close friend who used to work with me downtown if she could recommend someone or somewhere close by where I could grab a convenient as well as great massage. She immediately recommended East Village Spa and said she had received many massages from the various therapist who work there.
So, I made my first appointment a few weeks ago due to severe tightness in my neck and back. My therapist, Connie, has now been working with me for a few weeks and her work has helped tremendously. She really understands the issues and how to help my muscles relax. Very professional work not to mention the staff at the front desk who readily assist you with adjustments to appointments cheerfully.
Honestly, this place should receive a 6th star.
Molly Meyer
When I first started scheduling services at the spa, I thought it was just to give myself a well-deserved treat. I soon discovered that it's really much more than that: it's self care! Although every experience I've ever had there is luxurious and makes me feel pampered, it's also preventative maintenance! I always walk out literally feeling younger, rejuvenated, and far more relaxed than when I walked in!
I love getting facials from Camille Arbegast, and my skin is so soft from using the products that she recommends!
Hannah Benson
I've been twice now and the experience has been wonderful and professional from start to finish. During check-in I was offered a beverage and they kindly took my coat and hung it up. I have had the R&R massage both times, and it is worth every penny. Camdine is who I've booked both appointments with and I could rave about her all day! She takes the time to explain things, asks if I have any questions/concerns, and is all around kind. I purchased some essential oil roller sticks that I keep in my desk at work and they're a great go-to when I need a little pick me up during the day.
Heather S
Justin did a great job with my massage! It was the best one I have received. He applied the perfect amount of pressure and made sure and checked with me often to see that I was doing well with it. He found spots that I didn't even realize were sore. It helped me immensely with stiffness and aches I have been dealing with in my neck and back. I will be coming back to see him in the future and highly recommend the spa and his services. The Spa experience was great and the rooms, table, and environment were lovely.
Courtney Clement
I’ve been to EV Spa for multiple massages and have loved every one. The massage therapists are all courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. They will adjust the massage to your needs.
I also have gotten a facial from Kanika - it was so relaxing and I loved how my skin felt after!
Alyssa Hamilton
I visited in August 2020. I had a great experience! I wore a mask the whole time, and Trevor, my massage therapist, regularly used hand sanitizer throughout. I visited to help my anxiety and the muscle tightness I have because of it. I felt better immediately! I definitely recommend.
Erica Eganhouse
Karen is fantastic. She makes sure I’m comfortable and does consistently amazing work on my back and shoulders. I had a shoulder injury that took several days and pain killers last year. Had a similar injury recently, mentioned it to Karen, and there was a huge improvement in recovery this time- without pain killers!
I’ve hopped around for several years looking for a great place and person. I’ve definitely found that at East Village Spa and with Karen.
Plus- making online appointments are a big bonus.
Amy Kenna Davis
Love this spa. Such a great atmosphere and professional therapists. Cyerra has an easy going style and does a great job with skin care services. Jennifer is a fantastic massage therapist and is so relaxing. Highly recommend and will def be back.
Kate Hightshoe
I moved to Des Moines almost two years ago. Trying to find a new massage therapist who would provide consistent care was very challenging. I have been a long time fan of a 90 minute deep tissue or sports therapy massage for many years now. Often I find that therapists' services start out great but become inconsistent over time. I was thrilled to find Justin at the East Village Spa, which offers a number of therapists and services at a fair competitive price. Justin is a client's dream when it comes to finding a therapist who has a great intuitive awareness and understands basic body mechanics, especially for someone who is extremely physically active and truly needs therapeutic massages. The East Village Spa has a simple but clean environment. I have visited many spas where I felt like I was paying for the fancy spa atmosphere, at the East Village Spa I know I'm paying for the quality of the services.
Jennifer Morrow
I've visited East Village Spa several times for relaxing massages and have always had a great experience! I appreciate being greeted by name in the reception area and I have found each massage therapist who has worked on me to be professional and open to my feedback when given. Already looking forward to my next Signature Massage at EV Spa, oh, and also excited about that yummy piece of chocolate they give you when you check out!
Braxton Pulley
As a healthcare professional I have worked with the East Village Spa for years and always feel confident that the patient's I refer over will receive the best care. The therapists are skilled and the service is unmatched.
As a client, I have long enjoyed and looked to the Spa for relaxation and therapeutic help from running injuries.
Strongly recommend!!!
Sue Miller
I have been going to East Village Spa for many years and will not go anywhere else. Cleanliness is a priority for me. The staff is friendly and professional. Cassandra, my nail technician, knows what she is doing and does it with a gentle touch. The whole experience is very pleasant from beginning to end.
Juliana Hall
My husband surprised me with a couples massage for Christmas. Conny was my massage therapist and she was AMAZING!!! Best massage I have ever had. I highly recommend. The front desk staff was very nice and efficient. Overall great service!
Shannon Maddy
I love the EV Day Spa. It’s been my go to spot for pedicures, massage, and reflexology since I first walked into their original location in 2009.
It’s both the people and the services that keep me coming back. Kelly and Molly at the front desk are always so friendly and helpful.
Cyerra is my go to pedicure person. She does a beautiful job, gives a great foot/leg massage, and is a lot of fun.
Jamie is my person for blissful foot reflexology/therapeutic massage. I always leave each session smarter because she is very knowledgeable about holistic approaches, so I’m always asking questions.
Justin does fantastic massage, incorporating great stretches to really help alleviate stress and discomfort.
Cassie, the owner, is fantastic, and really looks at customers as people. In fact, when my cat recently passed away, knowing what a huge animal lover I am, Cassie and the staff members made a donation to the ARL in my name and sent the loveliest card. That kind of thoughtfulness is not something you find everywhere, and it meant a lot to me.
I highly recommend EV Day Spa!
Susan Yang
This was my first time getting a facial and the service was excellent. Lindsay was my aesthetician and she was amazing, she walked me through the whole process made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I even bought some of the Rhonda Allison products that she used on my face and they were at such an affordable price I was shocked To see a spa that carried drugstore prices. My face feels amazing and I feel refreshed and glowy, I will definitely in the back for more! 🙂💚
Caitlin Ely
First massage at this business and I have nothing but good things to say. I walked in with general aches and pains, back soreness and stiffness and walked out with what felt like a brand new body and smelled delicious from the farmhouse fresh products they use. I would definitely recommend and I will absolutely be back for more services and products!
Lori Chesser
I relax the minute I step into East Village Spa. The staff is welcoming, with a hot or cold restorative beverage ready and waiting. The products offered are well-chosen. The therapists are skilled and provide helpful advice for maintenance of the progress they have made on those tight muscles. Facials and nail services are also fabulous!
Sandra Parker
My massage with Jamee was wonderful, she worked on pain areas and left me feeling great. My mani pedi with Kanika was very relaxing. ❤❤❤
Haley Brenneman
I see Lindsey once a month for a hydrafacial and she treats me so well, gives recommendations for my skin in between visits and is overall just amazing! If you're going to do the hydrafacials go all in and buy/use the products in between visits and all. Once I started doing that my results were unbelievable and I couldn't be happier! Once I've gotten to where I want to be with my treatments I will post the process pictures we've been taking every visit to show my results. I've recommended 3 of my friends to go here and they've all had great experiences as well and plan to return regularly. I love East Village Spa!!
davida williams
I had an appointment today with Jamee for cupping therapy. She incorporated other massage techniques during the session for a unique and personalized experience, and gave extra attention to areas that were troubling me. The rooms were warm, clean, and nicely furnished. This establishment is not one of those places that makes you wonder if it isn't a massage parlor facade with a human trafficking underbelly, so that's a plus. The other staff members I encountered were professional and very friendly. There was also a nice selection of products available in the front reception area. I got complimentary chocolate before I left and walked out feeling better than when I walked in. All in all a pleasant experience.
Camille Arbegast
East Village Spa has always been the best spa in the area by far, and now their new location makes them even better. They offer so many services, and though I have only had three of these services, I eventually want to experience everything they offer. The hot stone massage is absolutely heavenly....soooo relaxing physically and mentally. The same is true of the facials they offer. I had a shellac pedicure almost a month ago and the polish still looks good!
Stormy Smith
I’ve had multiple massages at East Village (both prenatal and normal) and have always had amazing experiences. It smells lovely, the music isn’t too loud, and the massage therapists are fantastic. It’s my go-to for massage!
Jennifer Brooks
Dawn and Justin were beyond wonderful for our couples massage on Saturday. I find the East Village Spa staff energy calming and can kick back and unwind with ease. Excited for my trip back on Tuesday for a manicure with Cassandra. I have had the pleasure of having her service before and cannot wait to sit back and relax.
Ashley Stien
This spa is run by phenomenal people, and the service is second to none. I recently saw Lindsay for a facial, and it exceeded all of my expectations! Their environment is warm and inviting, and they also offer great products. I will never go anywhere else.
Jasmine Barton
This was the best massage I’ve ever had! I was welcomed with a kind smiling face & offered a delicious peach drink. I was brought into my room early and was made comfortable right away with my MT Jamee. She asked about my trouble spots and customized the massage to my needs. She used stretching and acupressure to help with my cronic pain from sciatica. I’ve had many massages before and never had an experience like this. I would come here every week if I could. The pricing was also very affordable for 80 mins. Lastly they offered me chocolate at the end of my session! 5 stars all around!
KHG
I treated myself to a hydrafacial at the beginning of the new year. I absolutely loved it. My esthetician was very friendly and made me feel comfortable the minute I met her.
Afterwards my skin felt dewy and super soft. She chatted with me about some of the products she used during my facial.
I ended up buying a cleanser and moisturizer which I love and plan on purchasing more of. I enjoyed my facial so much I booked to have another facial in a couple of months.
Oh and did I mention the herbal tea they offer you when you check is? It's awesome.
Susana Ceballos
I loved this spa. I had been looking for a place for about a week. I am in town for work, and needed to relax. After looking at their reviews, I decided to book an appointment for a mani/pedi. The receptionists are very polite. As soon as you walk in, they greet you and offer water or tea. I only had to wait a couple of minutes before heading back to the nail room. The spa smells amazing! And the music they play is so relaxing. Desiree was my provider. She was amazing! She did a wonderful job on my nails, and my pedi was amazing. She was so polite and respectful. I would definitely recommend friends and family to this spa. It was such an amazing experience that I’m seriously thinking about making the 2+ hour drive to come back next month.
JoAnn Leach
So relaxing! The whole place was quiet and calming, with safety precautions in place. Location is great. I needed a targeted area worked on, and Klay did not disappoint. The tension dissolved in my shoulders and I felt my neck relax for the first time in awhile! I will definately be back.

My signature facial was so amazing. I didn’t want to leave because it was so relaxing. Cyerra was professional and fun to chat with. I felt like I was at a spa with a girlfriend. She educated me on all products that she used as she used them and gave me future recommendations on products for my skin so that I can achieve my personal skin goals. The hot stones were such a fabulous touch! I will be back!
Hailey Gross
I really enjoyed my visit here and will likely return. Very professional staff/therapists in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Went for a couples massage, and the massage therapists (Julie and Karen) were very skilled and attentive - thanks for a great experience!
Jacob Durik
Just got back from a great treatment with Alison and wanted to share with everyone some of the things that made it so great. I went in for a 2 feet deep 60 minute massage.
What she did especially well;
*she knows what her feet are doing and how it affects her client
*she has good balance on the table and this results in smooth precise movements, no one likes a clumsy therapist especially when using a powerful tool like a foot
*98% of the treatment was with her feet, you get what is in the massage description
*she effectively worked the IT band and anterior section of my lower leg with her feet, that was a first for me!
I am always looking to find folks who are the best at what they do, not because they are being paid to do it but because they want to be the best.
It is my opinion that Alison wants to be the best at this and it shows in her treatment.
Kaylee Williams
I absolutely love the East Village Spa. The massage therapists are all amazing, professional, and kind. It's such a relaxing environment, too. It's a very well-managed establishment, staffed by experts who are truly passionate about what they do.
Anita Best
Very personable, kind and informative staff. Everyone makes you feel comfortable. Clean, organized and easy access. Pleased with my pedicure and looking forward to my massage next week.
Sara Sheetz
If you are looking for a little slice of relaxation AND also want to stay safe, this spa is for you! They were so very thorough with cleanliness and making sure the customer and staff are always practicing the very best safety measures. If you're questioning a service, just DO IT! You won't regret it and you'll fee 100% safe.
Nicole Dalasta
First time here but definitely not our last. From first walking into the door with the wonderful receptionist to leaving, our experience was 5+ stars. Cammie made my first ever spa experience so wonderful. I will definitely be back to see her again!
Atalie Ferring
I love East Village Spa! I’ve gotten multiple services here - massages, facials, manicure, and pedicure. I am now a regular. It’s so nice to come to a place that you know and trust. When my family visits from out of town, we go here. They are amazing!
Conny B
I received a wonderful massage from Karina today. She listened carefully to find my areas of concerns and worked on them with just the right amount of pressure and gentle stretches. I definitely will be back! Kids are out of school now it’s time to take care of myself! Thank you Karina and East Village Spa.
Lisa Noble
I had a massage with Anna and it was amazing! I definitely would recommend her and I will return to East Village Spa very soon!
Julie ES
I've recently been through the most stressful six months of my life, and the tension to prove it. I've also had problems with my shoulder and neck off and on for the past couple of years. Last May, Justin was able to get me a few pain free months, so I decided to set another appointment last week. After asking if I had places that needed work on, he gave a great overall massage, plus he was able to work out my shoulder. A week later, and my shoulder is still painfree. Since I live in the 'burbs, the East Village is a bit of a drive, but worth every mile and extra minute spent in the car.
Tandy Heuer
I always have an amazing experience when I come to East Village Spa. The staff is so pleasant and are always willing to assist with whatever you may need.
Therese Tran

Molly Betts
I had my first massage yesterday, 4/27/19, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was very relaxing, the masseuse was amazing & I left completely relaxed. I highly recommend East Village Spa.
Patience Kpurukoo
I love love love this spa. Every service is performed beautifully and professionally, and the products they use are natural and vegan and/cruelty free. Personally, my favorite esthetician is Lindsay, I recommend her for anyone looking for 5 star body treatments, but every one here will give you 5 star service. I'm glad I found this spa.
Audrey Morris Hestbech
We have always had wonderful experiences at East Village Spa. The atmosphere is calming & relaxing. All of the massage therapists have been amazing!
Tricia Rivas
East Village Spa and Cyerra are my go to nail place. I receive compliments on my nail art all the time. Having my nails done is something I've started treating myself too and Cyerra always makes it a fun and relaxing experience.
Traci Shoemaker
Cassie and her team are wonderful! Every time I have gone to the spa, I have felt cared for and left refreshed. I am also continuously impressed with their involvement and service in the community. East Village Spa is my "go to" and I recommend them for any spa service you may need--they are well deserving of their recent Best of Des Moines Cityview awards.
Melanie Moon
Kirstie is amazing and super knowledgeable. I love my relaxing time and the pain relief/advice it get. From arrival to checking out it’s always a pleasant experience

Deb Madison-Levi
East Village Spa is a critical resource in my busy routine of life. I've been a client for nearly ten years and have truly appreciated the caliber of talent in a wide range of service areas at this gem of a spa - everything from their customer service team, to massage therapy, skin and nail care, to their precision with safety/cleanliness standards and community engagement. Their website is informative with online scheduling. Located in the vibrant and hip East Village area of Des Moines, just west of Iowa's State Capitol with easy access to shared onsite and ample street parking - spa services not to miss.
Kate Levasseur
Always love going to East Village Spa. I've gone there for massages and manicures and would definitely recommend both services. Today I had a great seasonal shellac manicure with Lindsay and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Amanda Yao
Got my first facial ever here while home for the holidays and opted for the Hydrafacial. Very neat experience! I came back the next day with a few questions about what I was experiencing afterwards as well as to swap a few products I had purchased, and the ladies up front were very patient and kind.
John Pille
Best massage ever! I was sore in my hips, back,neck, and shoulders.No pain remained after the massage by Camdine. Pressure was perfect. Reception staff is very friendly. I will return.
Anne Llewellyn
My Custom Eastern session with Jamee was a truly unique and amazing experience. I left feeling completely relaxed, stress free and like I was walking on air. She is truly a master at her craft and I can't wait for next time!
Abby Strong
I am a long time client of the East Village Spa and I recommend and rave about this place to everyone!!! The services are so relaxing and enjoyable, the product lines used are fantastic, the ambiance is serene and the staff are absolutely amazing. Des Moines is so very lucky to have such a quality business.
Joe D
ATTENTION ATHLETES (AND EVERYBODY ELSE) recovering from an injury or surgery: Hannah is a scar tissue-zapper!!! I've been seeing her to address a two-month old AC joint separation as well as some pain-inducing trap recruitment issues in my other shoulder; she hits all the right spots and is super astute when it comes to the amount of pressure she uses. The front desk girls are always super inviting and efficient, and the environment at the spa definitely promotes relaxation. Don't let scar tissue jack up your mobility, people. Get it massaged out!! [oh, and drink lots of water and take epsom salt baths :)]
Kayla Russell
My friend sent me here today for some much needed stress relief and relaxation time. I would definitly have to say this was the best massage I EVER had. Jennifers skills are amazing. I highly recommend this place!
Abby Mills
I really appreciated their new safety measures. I also felt kinda panicky with a mask on in the head cradle but they worked with me to use an ice pack and I still had my massage safely and without feeling claustrophobic.
Melissa Perry
Hands down the beat place to get a massage! Conny did a fantastic job on my upper back pain! Left feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated. Can’t wait to get another one and try their facials.
Patti Parker
East Village Spa is friendly, professional & sparkling clean. Rachel at the front desk was very welcoming, and my massage with Justin was flawless! A wonderful experience!

Nicole Webb
This spa is awesome. I now understand why the wait is so lengthy, but so worth it. It's nestled in the East Village, and you might miss it if you don't look up. This place is awesome. From manicure to massage to the tea at the end, it's a definite gem in Des Moines. I will be back... :)
Danni Penelope
The most professional, warm, talented, accommodating and experienced Spa I've had the pleasure to visit. This is hands down the place to go for any type of massage! Don't forget to get a mani/pedi while you're there. Great location and great staff.
Alecia Dooley-Goode
Got the full leg waxing as well as the bikini wax. For some reason I broke out in welts afterward. I'm not sure if it was the antibacterial stuff or the tea tree cream they used, but I did not have that issue with Waxing the City last time (this is only my 2nd time waxing) and I applied a complimentary scented oil after their session.
I also have noticed that my hairs seem to be rougher (prickly) that the first time as well.
Their establishment is nice and relaxing.
Shelaine Rozenboom
The prenatal massage and facial were amazing. There wasn't much for massage with my pedicure. My only complaint is that it was FREEZING in rooms. I found it hard to relax with goosebumps. I commented that it was cold and received an extra blanket.
Brooke Stalzer
I had a girls day with some friends and everyone was AMAZING!!!!! Cassandra is so knowledgeable and She really knows what she is doing. I also had Allison for a massage and it was great. I will definitely be back!!
Melissa Rhodehouse
Best manicure/pedicure I've had in Iowa. They make sure to ask you throughout the mani/pedi if you like the shape of the nails, if you like the color, etc. so you don't feel like you're being rude or demanding if you want something changed. Great selection of colors including shellac. My manicurist was professional and did an outstanding job on my nails. Highly recommend.
Curtis Marker
I will be back to see Hannah for sure! She was amazing. I was so relaxed from the moment she came to get me from the waiting room. Everything about her exuded relaxation and amplified my 5 star experience with her! Be seeing you in the future!
Carla Meiners
