I had an amazing day doing my maternity Spa package at the Blue Giraffe! The pedicure was such high quality, the facial by Christine was next level, and the massage by Mackenzie was the best I've ever had. Christine was soooo sweet and did an amazing job with my facial. I think I need to make visiting this spa a routine thing!

Always a delightful experience. Highly recommend! Starting going while pregnant for pregnancy massage and Mackenzie was amazing. Leaf gave me probably the best deep tissue massage I've ever had and she has the most beautiful energy! Lastly if you need a cut, Sav is an absolute rockstar w hair. The entire staff is warm and welcoming and I look forward to going again and again to explore more services Blue Giraffe has to offer.

Leaf is the absolute best deep massage therapist I have ever been to in my entire life! I have been to so many after being left with physical issues due to a bad car accident. She is the only one, among tons of doctor recommended therapists, that has ever given me relief from chronic pain! I just called to make my monthly appt with her but was told she is no longer with Blue Giraffe. Does anyone know her last name or contact information?! Her departure from Blue Giraffe seems so sudden and I know wasn't something she was planning last we talked.so I'm just wondering if anyone knows where maybe she is working now?

My husband and I did a side by side couples massage, and it was great. It was our first time there, the receptionist was very polite as well as the lady in the back whom brought us our hot foot stone and neck pillow. We really enjoyed our massage & will definitely go back again.
