I am disappointed that in order to get an appointment you have to give them your credit card over the phone! I am not comfortable with giving my credit card to some girl over the phone for a $35.00 hair cut. I called several other salons and none of them asked for a credit card. I told the girl I was not comfortable and she said that I had to give her my credit card number or they would not hold my appointment. I have been there 3 times in the past so it is not like I am a new customer! How disappointing..... Read Less

The front desk staff were unenthusiastic, not welcoming, and lacked passion. This was my first time there and they didn't seen interested in whether I came back again. My therapist was just average. She was pleasant but her technique was strange to me. I have had many massages and usually am able to relax completely. However, I ended the one-hour massage still feeling tense and unsatisfied. Her follow-up consultation was short, detached, and lacked any recommendations other than to come back. The facilities are definitely no-frills. No locker rooms or changing rooms, and I was given a plain glass of water in a clear SOLO cup. Suggestion, a few slices of cucumber goes a long way. Yes, their prices are lower than say REJUVENATION SPA several blocks away, but you get what you pay for. All combined, this was by far the least appealing, satisfying, or pampering spa experience I've ever had. Read Less

I went for a spa day almost 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. I had my first ever facial with Crystal and she did an amazing job. Much better than I expected. I also had a mani/pedi with Carla who did a fantastic job. She really cared about how my nails looked when she was done and took her time to make them perfect. My nails still look amazing after almost 2 weeks - no chips even after playing 4 volleyball games, working on my car and house work! I'll definitely be back for both! Great service and great employees! Read Less

Absolutely horrible! Scheduled a couples' massage online for my husband's Valentine's Day present. Received an email confirmation and all...showed up for the appointment and was told: "Oops! We have no providers for your massage. So very sorry." Seriously??!! It's our only day off together this week, so we were really looking forward to this. What's the point of online scheduling if no one at the spa knows about the appointment? They've offered to call me with some kind of offer for a future service, but that doesn't help us today. I'm so mad--will never go back there. Read Less

Kind of disappointed had gone here a couple times for a couple massage. My boyfriend had good experiences so I wanted to book another one for us. Call them to book one and seeing as it's around Valentines Day we were pretty book up. That's completely understandable, it didn't have to be this week necessarily. So the lady on the phone then said she was gonna see if she could figure something out and took my name and phone number and said she'd get back to me shortly. That was two days ago and still haven't had anything from them... still would very much like to get a couple massage but don't know if I wanna go here anymore because if they can't follow through and call me back I'm obviously not valued as a customer.

I have not had a massage before. As someone from England, unnecessary touching is not something we often practice. Or ever practice, for that matter. Hugging is only permitted when someone is about to fall off a tall thing, and you could save them. And even then we prefer the more traditional ‘let them hang by one hand’ method. So – We’re agreed – English people are weird. But I think I get a few points back, because I decided to take my wonderful wife away for a relaxing sp...Continue Reading Read Less

My husband and I booked a couple's massage with the private whirlpool for our wedding anniversary. It was extremely relaxing! I wasn't sure what the expect because the spa is in the Princeton Fitness Center so I wasn't sure what the atmosphere was going to be like. However, the massage area is behind a door which provides ample privacy and a serene atmosphere. After we put on our spa shoes were had a minute to ourselves in a relaxation room with a little fireplace and a sofa. Our massage therapists were very cognizant of our needs, asked multiple times how things were going and what we liked or needed changed. It was very quiet and peaceful. They always whispered and spoke softly to keep the peacefulness of our retreat. The whirlpool tub was the perfect way to end our romantic celebration. We had a glass of sparkling juice and I brought some chocolates for us to enjoy. The oil was very light on our skin and didn't leave a heavy residue and the whirlpool left my skin so soft and smooth. We had a wonderful time! Read Less

First time there and not impressed at all. Upon entering the "Spa" the receptionist offered me water, coffee or tea...which is great and expected. She hung my jacket and handed me a paper cup of water. She then asked me my shoe size, I replied and she went to a basket to get some sandals, you sit right in the entryway to change your shoes, since there was no where for me to set my cup she said she would hold it. So it felt awkward to be taking my shoes off there with someone ...standing over me...next, she took me into their waiting room, no issues there at all. Another client came in about 5 minutes after me and was taken back for their service before me. My masseuse, Shelley, came to get me and took me straight back to a room, asked me "what I was looking for" and I said a full body massage with concentration on my neck and shoulders. She then said okay, you can hang your clothes on the hook. So I did, then the massage started at the time she entered the clock in the wall said 2:15, which was wrong, but none the less an hour massage is what was paid for. She had some sort of allergic reaction she was dealing with which I understand is not her fault but my appointment wasn't even booked until a couple hours before, why take clients if you are having coughing spells that require you to leave your client for 5 minutes in the middle of the massage? She then finished and I looked at the clock and it was 3:05. So I thought. Wow! really only 45 minutes and not relaxing at all. Most times my masseuse will ask about oil in my hair or scalp area...this didn't happen, before I could say anything she had her hands in my hair full of oil. So after the massage I wasn't shown the restroom or offered any toiletries to fix my now oily messed up hair. I am used to items such as combs and other small toiletries being provided. Shelley then asked the receptionist if I could use one of the brushes in the salon, she didn't want to let me use one because they are personally owned by the stylist. Okay, that's fine...but then she found a brush in another room so I could at least not have to walk out of there wit my hair all over. When my boyfriend asked how my massage went I told him these things and he chose to call to complain. We received an email back from the owner, Mark Mathews, his staff told him that they offered me a shower, not true! And offered a $10 discount towards a future service. Spa services are expensive, spend your money elsewhere! See More Read Less
