Spa Bar is heaven! My husband gifted me a head spa therapy via Groupon and I didn't even know this…read moreplace existed in Waterford Lakes. Tip: If you don't want to leave the spa with wet hair, add a blowout appointment right after. Monise greeted me when I walked in and assessed my scalp before heading in to the head spa room. Another tip: Use the restroom before undressing on the table. Without giving anything away or take away from your experience, it was so relaxing and serene. The soft instrumental music playing in the background, breathing in the lavender, the additional neck and shoulder massage - wow. Booking your appointment via the Vagaro app is easy. You can always call them too if you have any questions. I will definitely be making this my go-to spot for when I need a self-care or "me" day.

***UPDATE*** The "Manager" from Spa Bar just called me 4…read moretimes in a row!!! I picked up the first time. She sounded young, difficult to understand, but she asked angrily what my problem was... said she called me 2 years ago & that she had resolved this for me. She did not resolve anything for me, & did not make me feel any better, not then, definitely not now. She wanted to pinpoint when exactly I had my Brazilian waxing done. I wasn't going to be interrogated, harassed, or gaslit. I told her that I've been there more than once, & I don't appreciate her calling to argue with me. I am entitled to an honest review of my experience & my feelings concerning it. She sounded argumentative wanting to argue the exact date & what happened, saying she had video proof. I told her that I've been there more than once, & left the room at different times & there is nothing to argue about. She has never cared about my feelings & experience there. The Brazilian waxing covers a delicate area, you need to trust the place you go to, and this Manager woman just makes the whole experience so much worse for me. I should have never given this place my business in the past, should've stayed at a better sugaring place in Oviedo which was honestly so extremely sweet, kind, caring, & patient. I even bought a nicely scented exfoliant from the previous sugaring place. Less painful overall also because that other place in Oviedo, FL was so much more caring and professional, protecting my dignity & privacy. Spa Bar is not trustworthy, just in MY OPINION, and they continue to disrespect me, harsh on the phone! Really bad energy there, horrible to this day... I don't like being intimidated or gaslit. I am taking another star off, down to 1 star from 2 stars last night. Now she sent me a long text, & the last part of the text is, "After reviewing the actual footage, if you still believe otherwise, then I will forward this to my attorney who will follow up with you regarding your false accusations." My review that I wrote last night: I got a Brazilian wax here, and was very nervous. The young woman was nice and let me talk nervously as I was being waxed. It hurt at times and she couldn't calm me down or make me feel better like a previous place would. It was sort of a cold environment emotionally. I quickly went to the ladies room, and saw a front desk person with her neck pressed up against the wall right where I had been laying listening to my room. I was shocked when I saw her and felt like my privacy had completely been violated. That was completely unfair. I complained to management when a woman called me, and nothing was done. Unprofessional. That was the last time I went there. I had seen high schoolers there getting their hair blown out or put up for a dance.

From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a friendly face that gets you checked in. I love that they have late hours for those of us coming in after work. The space is very clean and calming. They make you feel extremely comfortable and modest despite the services they provide. Cheyenne was super informative and answers every question honestly. She provided realistic expectations. Pricing was very competitive with a full Brazilian priced at only $59 for women. With your service, they offer a touch up within a few days, if they weren't able to get everything for whatever reason. They offer memberships for discounted unlimited Brazilians. The staff was so kind and welcoming. There is ample parking which is always a plus for me. So happy to have found this place !

I also appreciated how efficient everything was, I barely had time to sit down before I was called to the back. No long waits, no hassle, just great service from start to finish. Thanks again to the team at Brazils, I'll be seeing y'all again soon!

EARLY this morning, like 4/5 a.m., i booked an appointment and it did not confirmed on app, so i booked another, and it was sent to my junk mail (that i didn't see). They did not text me a confirmation when they opened. And, hear me out, i can take accountability, I should've checked my email and whatnot, so that's my bad and i'm sorry. BUT, they sent me a text at 12:30 p.m. and said i had NC, NS my 2:30!! p.m. appointment. So, i just figured it was cancelled and didn't go. THEN, at 2:30!! it said i missed ANOTHER appointment. I called, front lady was very nice, trying to get it cleared up. I had obviously made a mistake booking the same service two times for the same day, and i've never caused problems in the YEARS i've been going. But, they're sticking to their original statements saying i no called, no showed. So, i'm cancelling my wax pass and moving on. I wish there was something i could have done to make it better, but if you can't/won't help a loyal customer then i'll go elsewhere.

We got there right when they opened on a Saturday morning. There was one woman getting her nails done and all the other staff were free. They insisted on sitting us on completely opposite sides of the salon. We asked to be next to each other and they rolled their eyes, sighed loudly and got frustrated. They explained that each worker had their own station so they could not put us together. We understood what they were telling us but did not appreciate the frustration they gave us. We said we would just go somewhere else. And we were completely polite. They tried to get us to stay but ultimately we were no longer comfortable due to their attitudes towards us. We went to another salon in the next plaza over and got excellent treatment and had a very good experience. I gave this place two stars because the salon looked nice and their prices were reasonable and other people seem to have had good experience (which is why we came here in the first place). That just wasn't our experience.

This location is very spacious and seems to offer full spectrum of services for pampering. They have a check-in kiosk at the front desk if you have an appointment and a rewards point system. I've had people greet me as I walk-in and ask if I needed any assistance. Once they know that I have an appointment, I am directed to the kiosk for check-in. I see that they also take walk-ins. I like that they have two pedicure areas - one is a private room, probably reserved for groups and overflow. The room is very Zen with low lighting, and it has a complimentary beverage station. I always have an appointment so I'm in and out in a reasonable amount of service. Of course, I am biased to say that I'm always happy with my service...because I'm happy with the provider of my services (Tiny).

One of the main things I look for is how well calluses are smoothed out, and even though I specifically mentioned it, it didn't feel like much attention was given to that part. Other salons I've been to really take their time with this, so this felt a bit rushed and honestly pretty lackluster. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. It just didn't feel like the level of detail or care I was hoping for, especially for something that's supposed to be a relaxing, thorough service. Based on my experience, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back since everything ended up being pretty average.

I arrived with no appointment, but i had called about 15 minutes prior to my arrival. I sat at the first table on the left side of the room (not next to the wall) with a mature technician. I showed her a picture of what i was wanting, more rounded coffin/oval shaped, and ombre natural to allow longer wear before a fill is required. I identified that I previously wore GelX, but was open to other options, but didn't want acrylic. She mentioned a couple of options, but she was difficult to understand. She understood my desire for ombre - i asked if she could do what i wanted and she said a very clear 'yes'. She started and asked a couple of questions of natural color preferences - i said that I would rely on her since i wasn't that picky. She started and was only the 3rd or so nail and a gentleman stopped by and was watching what she was doing and questioning what i was wanting. I explained i used to wear GelX but was open, but didn't want acrylic. He responded with "we do GelX. . . you do realize that's acrylic" - i didn't, but at this point i felt it was too late. I believe he was the one of the owners. She continued to do my nails and I became very concerned as i saw the fairly wide gap between the start of the acrylic and my cuticle. While I may be picky at times, the woman next to her was standing up and watching her work and chatting with her. Others stopped by to watch, including the same gentleman and a couple of other techs and I believe one of them was another owner. They all watched and never showed concern or spoke/questioned my Nail Tech. All i kept thinking was maybe there are different steps and once she continues my areas of concerns may be taken care of. Unfortunately, the product only got worse as she continued. Why didn't i complain? 1) I had already spent a good 1.5 hours in the chair and couldn't afford to waste any more time and 2) co-workers/owners watched throughout the entire time and didn't have any concerns with the quality of work at any time so I didn't expect anything to be different at the end. I've been in this situation with a quality concern quite a while ago and co-workers/owners stopped the work on their own and directed correction. Unfortunately, this didn't happen and I had to learn an expensive lesson. Not even a week later one of the nails broke off and I went to another nail salon which stated they needed to be fully removed as they were done wrong and were very much already lifting away from the nail bed. With all of this, I wouldn't have an issue with a mani/pedi at this salon but will not return for fake nails.
