A Day at the Spa

Relaxation, calmness, piece and quiet, and stress free these are just a few of the things that I was able to experience on lovely Saturday afternoon at Spalon Montage in Chanhassen.

I arrive at the spa about 2:50 ish. I gather up my stuff, and change into my robe so I can get ready for my relaxing massage. I get dress, and I then go into their relaxing spa area, and await for my name to be called so I can go get my massage. The ambiance of the room is quite, music playing and peaceful. I rest my rump down in the leather chair, drink my lemon water and soak in the warmth of the fire place on the other end of the room.

About 3:10 they call my name, and off I go. I walk my way down the hall, enter the massage room, and I then have to get into this comfy looking massage bed. I lay myself in the bed, close my eyes, and relax and enjoy the calmness the music puts into my body.

As the massage therapist is giving me this hour long massage, she says to me, Madam, are you a person who sit all day at a desk, carry heavy things around, and have a lot of stress in your life? I said in reply, gessh, how did you guess that? She said, because madam, “I never get called that” your so tense, and have so many knots, it’s easy to guess.

As she’s continuing and trying to work out these knots in my back, I can feel each one, and then as they pop, it’s like a weird gushy feeling in your back. Must I say that’s not the most pleasant thing of the massage, but it’s worth it to not feel those things in my back again. I am so relaxed and enjoying this massage that I almost fell asleep, but I forced myself to stay away so I could enjoy it. By the end of the 1-hour, I was ready for another 1-hour massage. But, I had other services to get to, so I had to just soak up as much of the massage as I could.

After each service is completed, they always ask do you need anything? Is there anything I can get you? How are you feeling? I love it, people waiting on me hand and foot for a change. What else could a women ask for??

My next service was to have my hair done. I meet up with the hair stylist. She washed and massages my head with the shampoo, it’s so relaxing to have someone rub your head, and I got to watch T.V. while she did that. After my hair was done being washed, she decided to put my hair up in rollers. I then had to sit under this funky looking blow dryer for about 15 minutes, and keep those goofy looking things in my head for 45mins.

My last service of the evening was my pedicure. Pedicures are the best. I got to have my feet soak in the bubbly water, as I sat on a heated chair that had a massager built right into it. (HEAVENLY) I basically relaxed, and didn’t move until this service was over, while my feet were scrubbed, polished, and massaged.

After my pedicure, I finally get to have these goofy looking rollers taken out of my hair. By the time she took them out, I looked like a girl with curly goofy hair, it looked like I put my head in a light socket. But, she toned it down, and it looked fabulous when she was finished.

I was finally done with my day about 6:00 p.m, so a total of 3 hours of being at the spa, and let me tell you it was well worth the wait to get these services done.
So, thanks again to my hubby Brent & sis-in law Hannah for your x-mas presents!! I loved them.
