Jeromeo

I had 90 minutes deeper tissue massage with Scott, and it was amazing. He was able to addressed my back and shoulder pains which causing my frequent headache. Will definitely go back.

My wife and I had a massage here earlier in the month during Kentucky Derby. The outside looks deceiving since it looks like a Pier One Imports shop with some antique furniture. There is bookstore next door which looks pretty cool. The lofts atmosphere although interesting made it feel like a social environment was in your massage room. There were the creaking wood floors and people talking around you. Our masseurs played some music but didn’t really drown out the voices. I did feel that our masseurs were really good and really spent alot of time on us to relieve our knotty muscles. The oils they used made me smell like Tiger balm but I suppose it has calming effects. It is just something different to the ordinary lotion we had at other massages. In the end, our masseurs brought out 2 salads with large grapes on the side. It was a simple salad but very good to have something in our stomachs since it overlapped with lunch hour. Our Groupon was a pretty good deal since we managed to get a couples massage with 20% discount on local deals. So, be sure to check it out while it still lasts. Parking is on the street and on Saturday morning was not a problem. So, you might want to come early if you worry about finding a spot.

Such a beautiful and unique store and the massage I received was the best I’ve had! Would definitely recommend this place!

This place is a Minneapolis gem, I love the yoga studio and every teacher I have had is amazing. I am a beginner and not very good BUT they are patient and kind every single time. The store has many unique items you can’t find anywhere else and great oil combinations.

Had a massage from Scott yesterday. May I just say that it was excellent. He knows his physiology, and finds your spots quickly and get after it. Highly recommend going to Jeromeo for body work. Also, the store is beautiful and the furniture they have is just gorgeous. They’re really more artifacts than products. Get over there and check them out.

4.5 stars. Half a star deducted in light of price accessibility. Tis the ONLY reason. This place is a treasure for all peoples, and in truth, those on a strict budget can walk away with something special. As well, even if you don’t spend a dime, you will walk away a better person for having visited this oasis. Read details below…

Checked this place out after purchasing a promotional service: 1 hour massage for $ 39. I am so glad I learned of this spot and took the time to experience its varied offerings. The space transforms your immediate existence — it is an entity of its own eclectic nature. The honey-​tempered, nerve-​calming, Onya – a sort of majestic wolfdog – adds to the magick. Be gentle with her.
Massage: I got a massage from Kit. I try to get frequent body work, but I have always felt some discomforts in my treatment as body image is concerned. I have struggled to feel an exchange of acceptance and healing in other massage experiences. Kit has a soothing energy, but is not at all «poser-​namaste.» You know exactly what I mean — his zen is not forced or colonized. We joked, we were silent, we checked in. I felt that what mattered was my body, my experience, my comfort. He is up front to say, in lesser terms, TELL ME IF IT’S RIGHT — TELL ME IF IT’S WRONG. He encouraged transparency in both our spoken communications as well as in the body work. I fell into an almost immediate meditative state under Kit’s hands, a first-​time experience for me. Very difficult to explain, but once we wrapped up, I felt light and high. Clear of mind, light on my feet, glowing from within.
Store: After my massage, I perused the store and was really taken aback by all the beautiful, detailed wares. And everything’s for sale, which I love. There is a diverse price range too. While many things I could only dream of purchasing, one can also get away with a one-​of-​a-​kind gift for under $ 40 (or even under $ 20 for someone you like less). As well, the owner, Scott (fantastic!), mixed an essential oil blend for me – intended for use as a perfume. Admittedly, I didn’t plan to spend $ 43 on a 1oz bottle of oil, but I feel pretty stellar walking around turned on by my own aroma. High quality, lingering, statement-​making. Highly recommend talking to Scott about your scent profile and letting him switch up the funk. But do it on payday.
Noteworthy: As a black woman, I am hyper aware of how many people of color visit a store while I’m there, as well as how they’re treated. Happy to note folks of color buying oils, stopping through to site-​see, and being treated with a sort of unprecedented customer service. As well, I heard a customer who LOOKED LIKE ME say to Scott, «You always give me something when I’m here!» I bet she only purchases oils from Jeromeo.
And let’s be real – when my oil runs out – I’ll drop that almost-​fifty-​with-​tax again.
This is the real deal, folks. Add it to your list of must-​experience spots in MN.

Although this was my first time getting a massage, I know it is well worth the 5 stars. Walking in to Jeromeo for the first time was definitely very inviting and comforting. I received my massage from Kit, who listened to my concerns intently and was able to treat my tensions with care and ease. I am feeling so rejuvenated, refreshed, and so much lighter in my body than I’ve ever felt. I loved the essential oils that were used, it helped my sinuses immensely as well. Anyone looking for a massage in Minneapolis, I highly recommend going to Jeromeo.

Scott at Jeromeo is absolutely the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. He really listens to what your body issues are and works magic! His touch is firm and deep which I like (I’ve had far too many useless massages because it’s not «deep tissue» enough). He is easy to talk to and I have always felt comfortable when he works on me. One of the best things about Scott’s massages is that you don’t have to run home and take a shower — the essential oils he uses for his massages are not greasy AT ALL. I can’t tell you how many times you finish a massage at other places and you can’t enjoy how relaxed you feel afterward because your body feels slimy. NOT the case here! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Scott’s massages and his store! Go and get a massage with him! You will wonder why you didn’t sooner!!!

This place is great! Amazing art work and fun décor. There were two of us for massages. Scott and Charlie were great at our massages — I would definitely recommend going there and we will be going back for sure. Thanks for the great fun friendly service.

I agree with the other reviewers that Jeremeo is a gem, I had a 60min massage with one of the two masseuse, Nat, it was one of the best massages I’ve ever received, and I love to get massages. Gentle and slow-​paced with the right pressure (I like firm pressure) on the right spots, hence relaxing and really therapeutic for someone who practices dentistry and has perpetual sore neck and shoulders.
Sixty minutes was exactly sixty minutes, no short-​changing with analysis or the likes. The rooms are beautiful, with natural light and extremely soothing music. I even received a free 1/​6oz essential oil for Unilocal check-​in, I chose Rose Demascus, it is heavenly (and worth over $ 20). They also have the sweetest girl husky called Onya :)
The only drawback is how long I waited before my massage actually began. I booked a noon appointment, which is the opening hour and I was early. I didn’t expect to only be led to the room at almost 1220. That made me run late to my other appointments later.
Overall, excellent massages, I will be back.

Love this place! If you want a sense of well-​being, whether it be Asian artisan antiques, locally made crafts (pottery, pillows, custom jewelry), essential oils for home and personal fragrance or, seriously, get this: Yoga and Massage Therapy (!!); this is the best place… the ONLY place in town or anywhere else for that matter to get the full essence of peace in your world. Conveniently located in Minneapolis North Loop.

This place is awesome. Not only is their selection of merchandise incredible, but I got the best massage from Scott. I got the deal on groupon so it was really affordable, but I’d go back for full price too.

I love browsing this hodge podge of a store. Ahem, curiosity shoppe. It truly is a random assortment of what appears to be mostly imported items. I don’t think that this store can figure out its focus. It has perfume oils, high-​end jewelry, junky costume jewelry, imported antique furniture, lawn decorations, porcelain tea sets. In one visit I wanted to buy both a $ 6,000 apothecary chest that was 250+ years old and also a beaded ring for my BFF’s little girl that probably cost under $ 5.
My absolute favorite part of this store, however, is the cute dog named Webster. He hears his name and immediately gets up for the person working to give him a treat. I wanted to ask, «how much is that doggie in the window?» but thought that might be in poor taste. Next time I’ll bring him a treat while I drool over this gorgeous furniture and jewels that I can’t afford.

This fun little curio shop on Nicollet is definitely worth a visit. I noticed that they changed the awning and name which was a great idea as the old one could be a bit intimidating for folks that didn’t know what was being sold inside.
It kind of looks like what I would imagine an opium den to look like, dark interior, wares from Asia. They have some great pieces of furniture and a wide assortment of knick knacks hailing from the East.
Unfortunately, the unique furniture is really pricey so the average person won’t be able to afford to take it home and I’m not really in to knick knacks. However, if you are looking for something practical and interesting as a gift or just for yourself, they sell some amazing smelling oils.
My boyfriend bought me a small and very affordable bottle of oil that the owner helped him create: grapefruit, bergamot and cedar. It smells amazing and I realized that I could run a few drops in my hair after a shower which leaves a pleasant earthy scent that isn’t overpowering or offensive (think Aveda products). I imagine you could also use it as cologne or burn the oil in your home to freshen it up.

I love Jeromeo, it is one of the last independent little shops left on Nicollet Mall. I buy gifts here all the time because I know with their unique selection I’m getting my friends gifts they couldn’t possibly get anywhere else. Love it!

I hesitate to call the O’Day Cache a boutique. In my albeit rather closed mind, boutiques don’t harbor enormous Alaskan huskies smelling of adventure and lifesized polychromatic scrapmetal goats for the lawn (or the bathroom– don’t let me push you around). But it does stock a helluva lot of soap, so you be the judge.
