| - The idea is simple. You become a member for $59 a month and your membership fee entitles you to a one-hour massage or custom facial a month. If you need more beautifying beyond a facial or a massage in a month, then extra facials, massages or waxing services are discounted. All because you're a member!
The spa is located in the new Dana Park shopping center in Mesa. But you have to look carefully for it because, nex t to the bigger stores that surround it, you're going to miss the place. The store front looks small, but there are a handful of treatment rooms in the back of the store/spa that might surprise you.
I came to try their $39 special massage (for 1st time customers) and to see how their waxing services are (Dannielli, the Queen of Waxing was on holiday).
So here are my thoughts:
First on the waxing--my esthetician was very friendly and attentive, just like the rest of th staffers at fuchsia. I went in for a brow wax, basically just a "cleaning up." Being that it was my first time with her, I told her that I didn't want my brows too thin and too arched, and she understood. She did take the conservative route. She didn't seem to have waxed much and the I didn't think she was too detailed. When she gave me the mirror to inspect, my brows seemed fine (girls, you know how the lighting goes in a treatment room---minimal). But when I got home, I HAD TO DO A LOT OF FINE TUNING. There were a lot of stray hairs and there was really no shape to it. Too bad!
Now for the massage--I slightly injured my back and neck from doing I don't know what (old age, I'm afraid), so I explained to the therapist where the problem section was. She paid attention and dedicated most of the time working on the kinks on that slightly injured section. I also told her that I would love for her to play with my hair and massage my scalp for the last 5 minutes of the session, and she did...and I was in heaven! She applied a good amount of pressure on my back and legs. Kudos to her...Kelly!
So for $59, sure I would become a member and get my monthly massage or a facial...but the waxing services, I think I'll stick to Suddenly Slimmer...
The staff, BTW, is wonderful and courteous! So, if you like just simple massages and no-frills facials (they use eminence and Jan Marini products), this is the spa for you. Worth a look-see and the $39 special a try.
