| - I'd like to qualify that this is really more of a 3.5 star place in my opinion, but of course Yelp doesn't offer that as an option. Also, full disclosure, I'm a total spa addict. I love going in to different places and getting facials and massages. In the past year, I've been to the Camelback Inn Spa, Joya Spa, and Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa, in addition to Dolce. During Arizona's spa weeks when tons of spas offer services for $50, I've been known to go multiple times a week to different spas to get services.
I've been going to Dolce since last year, when I got a gift card from my cousin. I've been back for several massages and facials since then and had a really great experience each time. Were the massages on par with the ones I've gotten at Joya or the Red Door Spa? No, of course not. The price differential is quite large, especially when you take into consideration that I never go to Dolce without using some kind of Facebook Hook Up, Groupon or Hunies to get at least half off the service. For the price that I'm paying, these services are awesome! You get the luxury atmosphere of the spa and a relaxing day without having to empty out everything in your wallet. While the services aren't on par with the ones I've received at places that have $200 massages, they also aren't charging $200 - hence my satisfaction.
I love the 90-minute Swedish and Combination massages and my favorite masseuse is Sherrie, who's always giving me tips on how to reduce the stress on my back and arms from my desk job. I've never had a problem with the desk staff, as some other reviewers have noted below. It seems that a lot of the unhappy reviews are associated with salon services, which I've never tried, so they could be 100% valid. In terms of massages and facials, I think Dolce is a great place - just make sure to be on the look out for their Facebook deals to get a good price!
