At least I tried

by BarbaraR

I decided to try this place out because the spa I usually go to in San Anselmo (Eden Day Spa) was booked. I was going to my neices wedding on Saturday so I wanted my skin to look fresh and glowing. I went to Evo on a Tuesday because usually 4-5 days is the right amount of time for my skin to settle and look its best after a facial. Unfortunately, I was wrong. My skin looked the exact same after the treatment and horrible the next morning which lasted for a whole week! I don't know what was used on my skin but I was better off not having the facial at all and wished I had waited the extra two days to get in to Eden. IT goes to show, go with what works for you and Evo definitely did not work for me.

I dont mean to put down the place at all because the aestheticain was very sweet and it is a nice spa . Also, they do offer other pretty cool treatments that may not be as bad.

• Pros: parking is easy, staff was nice
• Cons: My skin looked worse after the facial!

EVO SPA GORGEOUS INSIDE AND OUT!

by ElizJenkins

I LOVE EVO SPA. My main complaint about Spas in general is the attention to the surface level of beauty only... but not at EVO SPA. This Spa is the genuine article in that it provides INTEGRAL BEAUTY...beauty that penetrates to the inner being. The staff is friendly and knowlegable and the treatements are delightful. You can see that everything is very carefully researched and crafted with personal attention, caring and love. Everyone I know that goes to EVO SPA comes out feeling AND looking fabulous. I cannot more highly recommend a place to experience inner and outer beauty. It is EXQUISITE BEYOND COMPARE! I can only say one word about EVO SPA. GO!

I think Evo delivers a level of quality that is totally missing in other Bay Area spas...

by Sandra_Carr

In general I don't like spas because it's so hard to get quality and cleanliness rather than all of the dumb bells and whistles that are so appealing to the inexperienced. I love Evo because it seems as if it's creators have seen it all before and have done their best to create something exceptional. Where can you find that anymore at any price?

Some of the exotic treatments are really fantastic. I've gone for many a Hungarian facial. The Kaya Kalpa treatment is not to be missed, and I've been assured by people who know the art from the inside out that it's the real McCoy, something nearly unknown even in India.

I've found the staff to be genuine and straightforward and without the general smarminess of Mill Valley.

Although everybody has their own experiences wherever they go, my own experiences at Evo lead me to discredit the conspiracy theory regarding the positive reviews and wonder if the reverse is not the case. My feeling is that once you walk through the doors at Evo, your consideration of all the other Bay Area spa experiences will get recalibrated.

• Pros: clean, respectful, mature
• Cons: paper underwear
