Ahhh, indeed! From the moment you walk up the stairs and enter into the International Orange headquarters to the time you leave, you'll truly feel all your stresses slip away. The design of International Orange is my favorite in San Francisco for a spa: Cool relaxation, uncluttered space, it's a haven for anyone suffering from urban exhaustion.
The facials are thorough, and during the in between times, your hands and tootsies will be massaged and lathered up in moisturizer. You can add a foot treatment to your session if your feet are feeling sad and dry. And peels and collagen treatments are also available as are scalp treatments. The few massages I've had at IO have been good.
For the yoga enthusiasts out there, IO has a daily yoga schedule including a lunch time yoga session for all levels. The room is bright and light, and in the afternoon the sun streams in.
Very appealing is the $350 monthly membership where you can enjoy unlimited yoga, and three services. Now, that would be a wonderful gift to give oneself! All in the name of healthy body healthy mind.
