If I could give Spa La Bella 10 stars, I would! Here's my experience... I bought a Spa La Bella spray tan session on Groupon. First time I've ever used Groupon, and I sort of expected lesser service because of the reduced price. It was also my first spray tan experience. I was soooo wrong. I called, and they returned my call immediately and sent a follow up text. No problem with Groupon, they couldn't have been nicer. The owner, Stella, is the nicest person I've ever met. She made me feel very comfortable, the salon is lovely, and if I use the "n" word (NICE) many more times in this review, please excuse the redundancy but it was that nice an experience. I teach summer school in Commack, but live way the hell in Locust Valley, and my day started at 4:30 am. I drove all the way home and with fifteen minutes had messed up my tan! Really bad. I called the Salon and OMG! Stella told me hop in the shower, wash everything off and she would re-do me if I came back at 6:30 PM. Crazy nice!!!!! I asked if I could come back the next day (it was raining and I just could not bear the thought of driving in the dark and rain. OMG again... They totally accommodated me. Stella would not let me pay, nor would she let me tip. I bought a spray tan package, and I was happy to give the salon my money! Stella, who did my tan beautifully (no Oompa Loompa orange), is the owner/operator. I'm a former Manhattanite and have had treatments at the finest salons and spas in NYC, frequented all the places where you'll find some celebrity in a chair or hear there's one in the "private room." I've also tried hole-in-the-wall places that friends may share... hair salons in Astoria, barbershops in Williamsburg. Here's the truth: They pale in comparison to the Spa La Bella experience, which was the best I've ever had in a salon/spa/medi-spa. I'm going back for a series of laser treatments for my skin. Stella knows her stuff, gives great customer service, and is sooooo nice. Thank you, Stella and Ava. Read Less
