You only have one face and if you want to take care of it seek her out. The relaxing music, comfortable warmed up bed, a nice massage, and a clean plump face made me so very happy.

First time using a tanning bed. The lady who was at the front desk spend several minutes helping me understand the different beds that were available. I bought a small package that included two sessions so I came back two days later and used another bed but this second session was longer. My second time there was pretty pleasant too; the young lady who was working that day was also attentive and informative regarding the options I had. Prices were good here but the best thing for me was that neither one of the receptionists tried to up-sell sunscreens and bronzers that I did not need. The salon was very clean and smelled really well so most likely I'll buy a one month pass. read more

She couldn't care less. I told her that it would be the difference of me signing up for a monthly membership or not. I needed to see if the beds, or which beds worked for me.

Omg I'm hooked on Cryotherapy and Groupon! These deals are going to get me in trouble I tell ya !…read more -250 Degree Temp ! Say wha ?! Most extreme drop in temperature compared to other cryotherapy locations. Three minutes of bliss was the perfect time to withstand this temp and I loved every minute of it. Yep I'm addicted ! Location/setting: Plenty of parking in a small strip mall. They have two personal parking spots right up front if you're lucky. There are a few restaurants nearby if you also want to grab a bite to eat (i.e., sushi, pizza, etc.) and even a nail salon. The place is clean and well-maintained. They have a big screen tv by the front waiting room to keep you entertained while you wait. They also have convenient hours throughout the week (i.e. M-Sat. 11am-7pm; closed Sun.) Customer service/treatments: I met Daniel the first day I went there and he was very welcoming and friendly from the get go ! He showed me the changing room where they provide gloves, slippers, and a robe for you to change into. He showed me where the cryo chamber was and it was different from any other I've been to. It looked like some futuristic spaceship haha ! It was a little intimidating, but he made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. He talked to me for the full 3 minutes to keep me distracted from the freezing temp., which I totally appreciated. Food for thought: "Whole body Cryotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses cold temperatures to trigger the body's natural responses. The incredibly cold temperatures work to relieve any ailments you may be feeling or suffering from. The procedure works by boosting the body's immune system, which in turn activates the body to focus on healing the treatment area. Cryotherapy uses the gaseous form of nitrogen to lower the client's skin surface temperature from normal body temperature to 30 degrees Fahrenheit in 30 seconds or less and keeps it that way for two-three minutes. During each session, the body releases endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel revitalized and energetic." I always feel a cool, soothing sensation that lasts for three minutes. This treatment has a wide range of benefits: increased energy, pain relief, muscle healing, reduce inflammation, weight loss support, reducing anxiety and depression, improving skin conditions, and treating chronic migraines. Most of all, I always have the best night of sleep after a cryotherapy session. I also met Nino who is a wealth full of knowledge ! You can tell he knows his stuff, because he convinced me. Ha ! He really was open to answering any questions and had so much information about all the services they provided: cryotherapy, endermology, body wraps, dry brushing, full body tanning, and laser-lypo! Definitely a one-stop shop kind of place ! I wanted to learn more. Nino also recommended that I try endermology. Based on my needs, he felt that this would give me the results that I wanted. I scheduled a separate appointment with their female therapist, JC and she was wonderful ! She was able to accommodate my availability, which I appreciated. JC made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. It was incredibly relaxing and quite similar to a massage session. She was very gentle and attentive. She applied pressure and suction to my skin and focused on my problem areas. Yes we all have them folks. She was very knowledgeable with the process and explained that once circulation is increased then the fat, toxins, and waste are also freed and flushed away by the body's natural processes. JC also incorporated 'dry brushing,' which I was new to and it did wonders ! I instantly felt and saw improvements within my skin. I need to buy one of these ! It's amazing how much we don't give our skin that extra added attention. If you have problem areas, such as cellulite, then this will assist in clearing that with long-term care. I immediately saw results in just one session. Mind-blown ! Food for thought: "Endermology is the only FDA approved technology for the treatment of cellulite. The treatment involves massaging, rolling, and sucking to stimulate and break up cellulite on the body. Also, it works by promoting blood circulation and increasing lymph flows which in turn allows nutrients to reach the skin and tissue that it was unable to before." It may sound scary at first, but it was actually not painful at all and you can play with the intensity of the machine and work your way up. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the feeling of the suction on my skin and it was nothing like I've had before. You really feel it working. Mostly importantly, there is no pressure to buy anything or commit to a membership. You do what is right for you and what you can afford. Kudos to that ! Verdict: 5 STARS. I highly recommend 'Solarus' to everyone. You will be very pleased with the experience !
