Oasis of healing and relaxation is fun, tooBy: Sayuri Date Posted: 2008-07-31    I discovered the best relaxation spot on Okinawa, the Come Across esthetic salon. Come Across promises to make you relax and to heal the stressed out body, and I gave it a try. It was an awesome experience. Come Across is a great place at any time, but August promises to be even more fun, because the salon is celebrating its ninth anniversary and planning some really special things for customers. I know the “Cold and heat stone therapy massage course” is one of those specials, and it’s great; I’ve already tried it. What a feeling! The leisurely two-hour course uses big warm stones, with the stones being put on the back, shoulder, and waist, to make the spots warm. When the technicians have done that, then they put the lavender oil tall over the body and begin massaging The massage is something else, something one must experience to really appreciate. Massage is more than with fingers; the warm stones are slowly moved from the top of the body downward, making the skin feel wonderful. As if the radiating warmth is not enough, the climax comes as the masseuse switches to using cold stones, which cool the body and make the skin tingle while removing the tired, weak feelings. It’s hard to describe, exactly, but imagine the feeling of stepping into the cool, crisp morning air. It feels wonderful. From there, lay back and feel the pleasurable sensations of a facial massage. Cleansing, massage and the ever present stone massage are first, followed by the cold mask that moisturizes the skin. The treatment is so relaxing, it’s hard to not drift off into a deep sleep. There are many esthetic spots in Okinawa, but none has given the quality service and treatments found at Come Across. The facials, diet information, oil massage and other treatments are without equal. Equally important, the Come Across staff all have esthetician qualifications. One more thing about Come Across. The spacious, private rooms for treatments and massage are soothing, relaxing and offer the quiet sounds of waves BCM brings. It’s kind of like you’re beachside at a quiet resort, or for me, a feeling I’m unwinding at an oasis. The cold and hot stone therapy massages run two hours, and are now being offered at the anniversary discount price of $80, down from the normal $110. Reservations at Come Across can be made by calling (098) 983-7741. |
