What People Are Saying About Nickel Spa
The Editor

In Short – From the Love Handles Wrap to the Metro Mani/Pedi, treatments at this trendy destination are made especially for men. Submarine-like interiors with stainless steel and deep blue accents house multiple therapy rooms, as well as a changing area with individual showers and a steam room. The Bodybuilder's Special does away with hair above the waist, while the Boyzilian takes care of what's below. Massage, facials, salt scrubs and nail services provide pampering from head to toe.
always a great massage

I probably average a massage about every six months at Nickel - not often enough. I appreciate the fact that it is clean, the place has just the right amount of light and has a steam room so I can really relax before the massage.
I've only had very good or excellent massages at Nickel. Never has one been just an OK experience. But tonight was one of the best. Dennis was recommended since I was looking for a sports massage with a good amount of stretching; nothing too deep but I definitely wanted to feel it. I told Dennis about a few injuries I have right now and he worked around those areas carefully. Dennis used just the right amount of oil, and it seems to be a high quality oil. I also appreciate the heated table since I tend to run a little cold. Obviously I'll be asking for Dennis again. By the time I left I was a new person.
Highest quality spa treatment without the snob factor!

Monique (sp?) at Nickel spa has rocked it both times I have been in to see her. She was "my first" for a back and shoulder wax and she just completed my second. She is straight-forward, knows her stuff and totally keeps you informed. She has no pity for us big guys who wince at the pain -which is good, we could all use some reminding. Ha!
The people at the front are always courteous on the phone and in-person. This greatly adds to the comfortable feeling I get when I enter the place. FINALLY a spa that is top quality where I don't feel I am not cool enough to be there. Nickel is definitely my go-to place for spa treatments. The best!
- Pros: Professional service, great atmosphere, comfortable and informative sessions
- Cons: Its not free! Honestly, its a little on the spendy side but not outrageous at all -and for this service and quality, I'll pay it!
Amazing service all around!

I recently visited the Nickel Spa for the second time. I was immediately greeted by Ken at the front desk. He was warm and friendly and answered every question I had. Ken got me in immediately for an appointment with expert esthetician, Margie. Margie spent the next 50 minutes giving me the Touch of Youth facial. The experience was very relaxing and my skin definitely felt rejuvinated afterward. Margie made great conversation and was an absolute joy. I can't wait to book another facial appointment with her! The place was nicely designed and very clean (even the locker rooms!!!). I also enjoyed relaxing in the steam room before and after my facial. I will DEFINITELY be back and would recommend the Nickel Spa to anyone looking for a quality spa with expert professionals.
- Pros: Professionalism, Ambience, Service
- Cons: None
