I've never been to a spa before and I'm so glad that El Bella popped my day spa cherry!
My Valentine's day gift from my wife was the Retreat Spa Package. It included a 1 hour massage, a facial, a pedicure and manicure.
Kimberly was my masseuse and she was FABULOUS! She was very nice and helpful, knowing that I hadn't ever had a full body massage before. Its a little awkward being naked in front of a perfect stranger... knowing that said stranger is going to be touching ALMOST every square inch of your body! But actually I was at ease within seconds... her hands worked their magic and I was in pure bliss for a whole hour! OMG... best part of the day hands down!
On to my facial... Irene is wonderful! I've only had my brows waxed once before and it was horrible... so when she asked if I wanted them waxed and reshaped I was a little hesitant. But I said, what the heck... they'll grow back right? --For me that was a huge deal... I'm VERY particular about my eyebrows!-- Anyhow, she ended up doing a magnificent job! My brows look freaking awesome and am now a convert! Irene, you'll be seeing a LOT more of me! She also assessed by skin condition and recommended I up the SPF! She massaged my face and shoulders and upper arms... even my ears, which was kinda odd for me, I don't really like my ears touched... except... well, never mind! She was great.
Pedicure and manicure were OK. I don't remember her name, but she was a bit rough with the sugar scrub stuff. Next time no sugar!
Only one minor complaint... I had to wait for like ever for my pedicure... I think they should have had someone ready for me as I was getting a package and there seemed to be a lot of walk-ins getting service and I had a standing appointment.
But overall this was the BEST Valentine's day gift ever! I will be going back as often as possible for Kimberly's hands and Irene's brow expertise!
Highly recommend!
