| - I wanted to really love this place - and the concept is perfect! Who doesn't want to drop off their kids for someone else to take care of while you get pampered and swooned into a feeling bliss that normally only a good (whole) bottle of wine after the kid has finally screamed himself to sleep would bring? Seriously the whole concept reminds me of my desperate desire to be a lady of leisure without accepting that in order to do that my boobs would have to be MUCH bigger.
So a friend and I bought a WagJag for a body scrub with massage and a facial that would last 60min (including child care) for $59 ($145 value). Off the bat the process was not smooth. I tried booking the appointment which apparently for these coupons only the manager could do, so two calls later, four days from my original call - I finally had an appointment for two. Upon arrival I took a quick peek at the baby sitting room which is the size of a larger bathroom that is filled with some toys. Nothing really special there, and if they were to close the door it would be really tight for the kids. Instead, they let our kids have free reign of the toy room and reception area - which pretty much meant we could hear every single scream, bang, and squeal all through our "relaxing" treatments. But whatever, at least I could tell the kid was having a good time.
The treatments itself I can say were ho hum - the scrub wasn't with any kind of product that I could feel or smell, just with some sort of scratchy glove and the massage was non-existent. In fact, the massage reminded me of the kind of "massage" that a guy gives you when really all he wants to do is get into your pants - you know the one: "hey baby...wanna massage?" *squeeze squeeze....tired...sex?*
The facial was by far the best part, but that's because I actually felt like some product was being used.
The appointment capped out before the hour (with 10 min of it being setup) leaving me all kinds of not entirely relaxed but amused that the kids had managed to tear a few cords from the wall.
All in all the appointment was okay because the kid had such a good time - but would I go and pay for that? No. I know that you have to take it with a grain of salt that you're not always going to get THE BEST treatment when you buy through a group site, but you at least want to have the customer coming back for more right? The only way I'd do that again is if someone bought it for me - and that would only be so I can watch the kid smash toys against their glass shelves again.
