Aside from that I highly recommend sweet cheeks to all waxing needs in Tucson!

Melissa's schedule is perfect for people who work, and she has appointments available to accommodate anyone's schedule. I have been to lots of other spas that do a great job, but often for a 30 min. appointment ends up being one hour ...the time spent checking in, waiting, and the waxing not to mention costs after tip $50-$60.

Good ole Groupon brought me here to enjoy a 90-min massage for a great price. Chelsea offers five different types of massage: swedish, lymphatic, deep-tissue, neuromuscular and aromatherapy (Aromatherapy is $10 extra). I received a deep tissue/swedish massage and can honestly say it was one of the best massages I've ever received. You know it's a great massage when you drift into that state of semi-consciousness somewhere around the 30 minute mark. Customer service was top notch and I will most definitely be back to visit again. Overall, not only was this a great massage experience, but I love to support new small businesses. It is obvious that Chelsea is passionate about her little spa and her profession as a massage therapist. *Note: due to the popularity of this Groupon deal, Chelsea is booking into late March now. However, if you want a quality massage experience she is definitely worth the wait. *Right next to Sunflower Markets, perfect for a nice little walk around for yummy goodies after your massage.

I turned 30 in July this year and I never tried a facial until now! There was a promo with the waxing brow service AND $50 facials for the month of August, so I treated myself to all the above. The facial was excellent and I felt very pampered. Amy educated me on the different products and ingredients during the session. She answered all of my questions. I chose the clarifying facial and the dermaplaning add-on because I had some breakout on my neck and chin area. At times, there was some stinging and burning sensation, but it was tolerable. Beauty is pain right? She extracted blackheads from my nose and that was painful, but worth it obviously. It was so relaxing that I felt asleep a couple times. I got a facial on Saturday and it is Monday today. My face still feels so soft! This was also my first time with the dermaplane. After the facial, there were some products on discount for 30%, so she recommended several products and I purchased them.I did splurge and with everything included I spent about $300, but totally worth it! read more

I have been getting wax services here for about 6 months and I've been very pleased. I love that they take the time to take care of my skin; it isn't just a quick in and out, she brushes down my legs, and cleans to be sure I don't get ingrown hairs, and puts hot towels on afterward. I appreciate their chic little space too - really clean and friendly. I've even had a great wax from a trainee! They've definitely got my loyalty. read more
