My birthday (once a year) treat. Kelly is awesome. You choose lavender, lemongrass, balancing (cherry), or unscented oil. 60 full minutes whole body. Plus I had a concern on my planters from walking in a hot weather, and shoulder and lower back from walking from home sitting a lot. Kelly knows how to release knots from lower back, shoulder blade, and neck. Get yourself great massage with Kelly at Sabai (means "let it go" if you say Sabai Sabai in Thai).

DISAPPOINTED. I am 23 weeks pregnant and I really needed some TLC. My massage literally felt like a baby rubbing on me. I had to ask a few times for more pressure. It has to be the worst massage I've received. Definitely not satisfied and I feel like for the price, I should've really left feeling relieved. I don't see myself returning. It would take them to be the last on earth giving massages for me to ever return. Pretty much 200 dollars down the drain.

Josh was my masseuse. I chose the Zensation escape. It's the closest thing to a hammam that I could see on their menu. I booked online, paid online. He was a nice man, he asked for what I expected and told me what he was going to do before doing it. It is on the 2nd floor of a walk up so be mindful of that if you have trouble with stairs.
It smelled so Yummy. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep during.
SN: I have sensitive skin and did break out the next day. Not their fault - my skin just hates certain things and I don't ever know until it's too late. Would still recommend.

Had a great massage with Seth yesterday! It was my first time here and after reading the reviews thought it was worth checking out. I will definitely return! Seth not only gave a great deep tissue massage but he was very thoughtful and gave me great tips for home care. (Something I've never had a massage therapist do before even though I've probably had a hundred massages with 10 different therapists.)

This place is a scam, and the manager attitude is unacceptable. The only way they book an appointment is with a credit card. I do not feel comfortable giving my card via phone to a random place, this is unheard of. The manager was rude, I don`t understand how they are even in business. They supposed to make clients feel relaxed. Scam and rudeness, terrible experience.

We loved our massages. After filling out our entry form my masseuse spent time asking me some questions which I appreciated - it felt like they really cared about taking care of my problem areas. Afterwards they even went over some ideas to help me continue to care for my body. My only complaint is some distracting noise outside the building - which they couldn't really control, but it disrupted the mood a bit. Would recommend.

Really disappointed with this place. Had a 60 minute "warrior massage" from I think her name was Olga. Filled out the question form Asked for a deep tissue massage on neck and shoulders. Then she went through the questions and said, so you have some knots in your neck and shoulders, let's get those out. " Then ten minutes of "breath work" ( so that's 10 minutes of me breathing which I can do just fine on my own) wasting time and maybe got 8 to 10 lackluster minutes at most on my neck and back with barely any pressure.. Rest of the time was doing stuff to my

Enjoyed a 90 min. Warm Poultice Massage today with Rebecca. What an incredible experience! Rebecca listened to all the requests specific to my needs then adjusted to make sure she spent the right amount of time on my trouble areas. I prefer hot stone massages and had never had a poultice massage before and I may have been converted! I could feel the heat going deep in the muscle and felt so relaxed when I was done. The atmosphere is very relaxing and many wonderful items to shop. Also the poultice is yours to take home and the herbs inside smell delightful!

Best massage work I have felt in a while. Every time I have been, I wished it was longer. It felt so relaxing and I even dozed off near the end.
It is rare to find someone who makes you feel so at ease like that. The intuition is strong here, they are like magicians.
(For an added bonus splurge for the warm poultice massage and have them do your face too. You'll melt like butter.)

This place was truly amazing. From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was just so relaxing. My wife and I did a couples massage for our anniversary and it was worth every penny. I recommend the I Love Us massage. One tip is if you haven't been there before make sure you look for the small sign on the sidewalk and the painted door. There's no sign on top and the entrance is one door squished between 2 other business. Not a complaint at all though just a tip because we walked by several times before we figured it out!

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary and my birthday with a 120min couples massage. Our experience was absolute perfection. We loved our massages and felt so relaxed and nurtured in our session. As a person with chronic pain, they made sure to work with me to find the best balance of pressure. I will definitely return to Sabai and tell everyone I know how amazing they we're! Loved the facilities, oils used, smell and sounds.

Just finished my 2 hour "Royal Treatment Ritual" with Anna... and it was amazing! Seriously, I feel so good right now. :)
I have had a lot of stress recently, and this was just what I needed to recenter and balance myself.
Anna was amazing. She was very kind, calming, and moved at the perfect pace to create an atmosphere of total relaxation. At one point during the scalp massage, I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep (which has never happened to me during a massage before)!
The world would be a much better place if we could all get regular "Royal Treatment Rituals"

Booked the 2 hour couples hot stone massage - and guess what? No Stones! They use poultices which are nice, but they are NOT STONES.
Wish I had read the "fine print" on their webpage before I booked it... After an elaborate interview about what I was looking for in a massage where we discussed at length the areas I wanted my therapist to focus on, she apparently went into "auto pilot" mode and delivered what felt like a generic massage. I specifically called out my my left shoulder and neck, so I was a little confused when she started on my right side. At first, I

This place is phenomenal! I went in today for my first massage/ritual ever. I was nervous about feeling uncomfortable, but Brittany was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The Susie's Bliss experience was more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for everything! I'll be back in a few months for sure!

My boyfriend and I had a 2 hour couples massage and we were very impressed. Both Anna and Brittney were amazing, they focused on the issue areas and relieved tension and stress for us both. We left feeling so much better than when we arrived. I'd highly recommend getting a massage here, we will be going back!

What a relaxing session! I recently got a 90-minute hot stone massage with Brittany; I left feeling calmer and less muscle tension (especially in my upper back and shoulders). What I really valued was the consultation - Brittany talked through my needs and pressure points before the session, and identified areas for me to focus on after the session. I really respect Sabai's overall philosophy and look forward to my next visit!

We were having trouble finding a time for a couples massage, but Jessika was able to schedule us right away. Went today with my husband for a couple's massage - had a fabulous experience. My husband is a physical therapist so he is very picky with his massages, and he loved Jessika's work. In his words, the mix of physical and energy work was great. He had some pain and she definitely helped reset his back. I went for the relaxation only, and had a very indulgent massage. We'll definitely go back.

I pulled a back muscle couple days ago and after discussing with Doctor, she suggested me to try massage. I usually go to this one massage place, close to my house. But they didn't have anything available immediately. So I started to look at Yelp for a good one. This place stood out, since couple of my fellow yelpers have been here and left great reviews.
I called and setup an appointment with Kelly. She wanted my Name, address, and credit card information for the appointment. I thought that was little weird. I didn't mind that though, since it is not an uncommon practice.

Recently, I injured my right thigh muscles during a Crossfit workout that incorporated lots of weighted overhead squats, box jumps, and wall balls. (Jeez, no wonder.) Ever since that brutal session weeks ago, I've been hobbling around the Twin Cities and wincing with every move. Although I enjoy lookin' like a gangsta, it's definitely not worth the pain.
However, these ailments give me an excellent excuse to drop a significant amount of cash$ to see a masseuse. With so many Yelpers writing either four or five star reviews gushing about this magical, rejuvenating, and healing sanctuary
