Thank You!

This might be TMI for some of you, but if you're also pregnant you will understand! At 28 weeks I can't see what is going on below the waist anymore. I was a little nervous to get a bikini was for the first time with my present condition but since I can't do my own "grooming" I thought it was worth a try. I felt comfortable from the start, the gal who waxed me did a great job explaining everything as she went along, good conversation helped distract me from the pain. After she was done waxing she trimmed things up, yes I was a little embarrassed to have someone else "grooming" my area but she assured me she does this all the time for ladies in my situation. Sadly for her, I will be back!

Facial Gone Flat

by greensleeeves

This was my first visit, using birthday money from my husband. The spa had been recommended to me by a good friend. I had the "radiant goddess" package. The massage was okay, the technician being very nice, giving a very soothing, centering massage, but as I am use to deep tissue/shiatsu, it fell short of being totally relaxing (I did ask for a deeper touch....). Then I had a facial. Again, the technician was very pleasant and nice but being the veteran of a number of facials in my life, this fell flat. (I've had facials at 5-star hotels.) I left the salon feeling like she hadn't done anything - and my skin felt greasy and irritated. The next week I broke out like nothing before with huge acne. It blew my mind, it was so bad. I felt that the products used during my facial were not appropriate, and after perusing the "Eminence" catalogue (the salon line) I found many other products that sounded like they would suit my skin - alas, this spa carries only a VERY LIMITED amount of the line they use!! Just as an aside, I called to purchase a specific moisturizer that was out of stock, and the person I spoke with placed my name on a waiting list for the next time they got that product in. I never heard back.......

• Pros: uummmm, hard to say. Friendly and nice people.
• Cons: small, run down, parking hard to fine, no return call for product

very very pleasant

i went here to get a bikini wax because it was close and the reviews were pretty good. i'm a college student, so had no need for the child care or mother specials, but i really loved the atmosphere, they were friendly, comfortable, and i don't know how, but it was one of the least painful waxes i have ever had. Indira (the waxer) was really considerate. it was a great experience. relatively cheap, the wax wasn't the best i've ever had, but i was also very passive and didn't ask for anything specific, so the fault is more mine than hers, i'm sure she would have been happy to accomodate my desires had i asked.

also, there was original confusion about my appointment but they were really great about it. and when i called to say i was running late they were really nice.

a great exprience even for non-mothers!
