Closed for good? – I received a gift certificate from a friend to use at Aequis Spa. It was to be a full day treatment for myself and a guest. Full body massage, facial, foot soak, etc. I set the appointment well in advance, called to double check up to 2 wks prior. Never received a confirmation call the day before, but I figured since I'd checked in with them already 2 wks prior, it was O.K. Went to spa on Sun 5/17 with my mom, had lined up childcare and everything. It was to be a 4 hr + treatment. Got to the location (next... read more
downsizing, eh? – I agree with the last reviewer. The spa has been going downhill for quite some time now. Business is lacking to the point that they will be moving back to the Pearl District this week. The website says (among other BS) that the objective is to "reduce our carbon footprint" blah blah blah. What a load. They are obviously downsizing because of an extreme loss of revenues. This is because Aequis is pretentious and a rip off. Of course it sounds better to make the move sound environmentally motivated. Please,
I was not happy about my experience – I really don't get what all the fuss is about at Aequis spa. It seems to me that the owner or "founder" as she likes to throw out there over and over is really good with words and self promotion. It is a bunch of nonsense aimed at draining your wallet. You can get top notch service elsewhere without paying to support the phonies that await you at Aequis. Are they "geishas"???? Come on, now....what do you take us for. Don't bother replying with all your phony dribble, Megan Klein, FOUNDER... read more
Amazing service and the best massage I've had in years – I have been to Aequis several times and enjoyed each visit. That's why I decided to schedule a super-special night out with my boyfriend for his birthday there with a couple's massage in their tower suite. As far as romantic places and treatments go - this one is one of the best I can think of in town. We were greeted with champagne and chocolates; given a food bath and took a sensory journey (picked out our scents for our massage oil) then shown into the Tower Suite f... read more
placid, peaceful, and decadent – I was in PLand on business, working a string of very long days; and decided to cap my trip with a massage. When I asked a few locals, this place was always at the top of the list, so I booked a massage & went. What can I tell you? A beautiful space - very calming and relaxing - unrushed, unhurried, and disconnected from the rest of the world. My massage was one of the finest I've ever had. Next time I'm in Portland...
Business response:
Varitone, thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts here.

Business response:
There are so many great spas out there - and I've partnered with some of them at fourspas.com. When we sit together and talk about the "spa world", our staff always comes up. We love them and they put in 100%. What some people may not realize is that in the spa world, our wonderful staff really don't have the luxury of calling in sick - or taking holidays. This is common with lots of industries....but with spas...if you call in sick - let down so many people that are really excited to come in. Spa staff have to take extra ca... read more
my wife didn' like it too much – save your $$$$ My wife was not thrilled with the atmosphere there. She said that it was way over the top and the massage was only ok.
Business response:
Over the last 9 years since Aequis Spa has opened it's doors - there are been guests that with whatever was happening with the universe... they weren't impressed. Either the heat wasn't working properly, the appointment was mussed up in some way, or we didn't get the treatment 150% correct. Please understand, that Aequis Spa has a "Bliss is 100% Guaranteed." policy. My "door" is always open. Please write us at customerservice@aequisspa.com or if you prefer you can write me privately at founder@aequisspa.com. We will not only... read more
okay but overpriced – I too was not impressed with this spa. I found the personnel to be pretty, but not highly skilled. They were overpriced and the atmosphere was a little over the top for me. In fact it gave me the willies....a little creeepy
Business response:
Thank you for finding beauty in everything - even where it wasn't so easy to find. I could try to address the atmosphere...but everyone resonates with something different - and that is the true beauty of diversity. At Aequis, we have been very careful to choose furniture that is comfortable to all body types and disabilities, artifacts that are both stunning and authentic and music that is calming, reassuring yet not too obstrusive. I feel sad that is someway we let you down - when our only intention was to create a stunning... read more
Awesome Couples Massage – My husband and I have had the couples massage here several times. The experience has been superb each time. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The experience begins with a foot soak and foot rub. You then embark on an aromatic journey. As you sit with your eyes closed, you will "sample" the aromas of various essential oils. After you choose your "recipe", the massage begins. Aequis has several types of massages to choose from. Toward the end of the massage, you will get the hot oil scalp treatment. Le... read more
Business response:
Mandy, thank you for all the compliments. We ARE a bit more expensive - and I wish we weren't. Truthfully, one of the best days we've had (as owner and staff) is when we invited a group of women in for FREE (charitable event) and they drew their treatments out of a bowl and we all volunteered our time - it was beautiful. There was no "energy" around money exchange at all. We ARE more expensive because everything is the very best money can buy, we are frugal - but for those who can't afford the "best" at home - we want them t... read more
