| - I purchased the Groupon deal with the massage, facial, manicure & pedicure. The spa / salon is not as relaxing and lush as many others I've been to, but it was comfortable. My review of the whole experience is mixed and I'm not sure worth a second visit -- maybe for a massage . . . . ?
My massage therapist did a great job -- her name was Anastasia -- pressure was perfect, she was extremely professional, did not say too much (which is how I like it!), but really targeted the areas I asked her to focus on. I was a little nervous as she is not my usual therapist, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised!
My facial was ho-hum. I've had better . . . the esthetician was ok, nothing worth writing about and nothing extremely negative. Other than I did get a lecture on the way I care for my face, but that's fine. It works for me.
Now, the mani / pedi -- that I would not return for, whether free or discounted! Their pedi room has two, VERY LOUD chairs that do not massage correctly. The tech I had (I'd rather not mention names), does not use clippers, but filed my nails to where SHE thought they should be. She was very chatty almost like I was being interviewed however, I do these types of things to relax. The polish looks fine, but I didn't get the usual leg massage and really, could've gotten so much more at my neighborhood, strip mall, nail joint.
The gel manicure -- whew -- AVOID at all costs. I upgraded mine to a gel mani which I learned they had been doing for A WEEK at this salon. They are "still trying out different ways" to see what works best. Their gel selection is literally 15 colors and they hide their polishes in a cardboard box because they "have feet" as I was told. Which is why the color I picked out first was missing. :p My tech was EXTREMELY slow, did the thumbs separate which I've never heard of and my two hands are different shades of the color I selected!! The UV heater only allows for one hand at a time because the bigger ones "are $300-400 and the salon would never buy those!" . . . it took a painful 2 hrs for a gel manicure. And my nails weren't clipped nor were my cuticles trimmed. Though I did get some filing done! I am planning to have them redone by my usual tech!! What a disaster.
Sorry this is so long -- I truly wanted this to be a great experience or I would've never purchased the Groupon. Not the case . . . aside from my massage -- I did enjoy that!
