I am totally addicted to Urbana. I always feel like I'm in a warm coccoon from start to finish. Very welcoming. World class therapists. Fabulous atmosphere. I hope they never change a thing. It's no surprise they are best of Citysearch. I can't give them enough stars.
Pros: All-around great
Cons: None
Great products too! Reviewed by NJ2NC on

Nancy introduced me to the Mamma Mio line of skin care Urbana sells while i was a few months pregnant. I tried the Tummy Rub Butter for stretchmarks. Boy am i glad i did. I started using it around month 4 and I stopped using it 3 months post-pardum and don't have a mark! Whew. Totally worth it! And it helped my itchy belly too! Thanks Nancy!

My husband and I came to Urbana for massages for our anniversary. The people that work there immediately helped us relax. The tea bar atmosphere makes it comfortable for men. I think some men feel like spas are for women but Urbana feels warm and cozy, not feminine. At the end we were not rushed and were able to savor the experience.
