The spa called my wife 4 days prior to the scheduled massages and informed her that they had made a scheduling error and our massages were canceled. No sympathy, no attempt to correct, just a lack of customer service. We were really looking forward to a local massage as we usually drive 35 minutes. Never had the opportunity to try this spa and never will if this is how they handle errors on their own behalf.

In case you haven't heard, THEY MOVED! The Bilancia Day Spa & Wellness Center (as it is referred to…read morenow) moved from the Coralville strip to Mormon Trek Blvd near Hwy 1. Talking with staff, it sounds like the entire, large space (formerly Core) was purchased, providing enough space for them to not only add massage and service rooms, but to build out a sauna and pool area. Wow! How exciting is that?! In the meantime, they appear to be progressing in settling the spa services into the space. There is a TON of space to decorate and warm up, so there is still a little inconsistency for the tone of the environment, but you will certainly notice some of the classic design comforts and staples that were carried over from the previous location. I always appreciate the services I receive, and my recent visit was no exception. My massage therapist did some great work on some problem areas and always felt professional, yet personable, throughout. And who doesn't love the warm towel and neck pillow in the pre-services quiet room, right? So good.

I came here on two separate days for two separate services. It seems like this salon offers quite a…read morefew services: coloring, male/female/children hair cuts, fancy up-dos, highlights/lowlights, massages, facial waxing, manicures, shellac manicures, pedicures, french manicures, and more. Studio 17 is interesting because it almost seems like a collective of a bunch of different professionals who happen to own the studio together. It's not a bad thing - it's kinda neat. But each "station" has a personal feel to it since it's one person's station, and each person decorates their own station how they want (unlike chain salons where each booth is shared by all of the staff). When you go to pay, you pay your salon professional individually - and if you use a card, you'll pay via the Square service on that professional's cell phone. So yeah, it seems like each person just happens to share the studio space. I love small businesses like that! The massage was quite enjoyable. I scheduled the appointment, and they managed to get me in same-day. You walk through the back-room (which is a storage area, possibly under construction, and not so pretty), but there's a small room in the back of the back room that's perfectly outfitted for massage. It has gentle music, a nice smell, gentle lighting, a warm temperature, perfect decorations, and everything. Honestly, I can't imagine a better massage space. It's far enough away from the studio and everything that you can't hear any noise aside from the music that's playing. The massage itself was great. It was my first massage, so I didn't do exactly what I was supposed to, but instead of mentioning it or asking me to change it, the massage therapist just pulled out an extra blanket from a corner and fixed the problem. I, of course, asked if I did something wrong to know for next time, and she was very friendly about letting me know. It's nice to know that she would go out of her way to make sure I was so relaxed and wasn't worried that I did something wrong. Very great massage, and I checked the time, and she even ran about 5 minutes over what I paid for. Great rates too. You can get an hour and a half for VERY reasonable rates. I liked my massage so much that I booked an appointment to get my tips dyed purple. It was more difficult to get a hair appointment, but they fit me in on one of my two choice days the next week. I went in for the appointment, and I was promptly taken in. The stylist was polite and not-too-chatty. She asked a rather personal question, but I don't think it was asked with rude intent. She did a fantastic job with my hair, and honestly, it looks stunning. I'm not sure how long the purple is going to last, but she did a great job following my requests, the purple is very vibrant, and she was gentle with my long hair too - even after it got knotted from the blow dry. Considering it took about two hours (mostly of me sitting and waiting for color to set, but I brought a book), the fee was completely reasonable. Once the color starts to fade, I'll be back in to see her to get it recolored. Maybe pink this time. (They offer a HUGE selection of awesome colors including natural colors if you want) The salon itself is well put together. It looks professional, and while it's obvious they could benefit from a bit more floor space, they make it work for them. It's comfortable, looks professional, and everyone there is friendly. My only complaint is they don't have a website. They have a Facebook that's semi-active, but seeing all their prices/services would be nice at a glance. They offer brochures in-store that you can see, or you can always call, but a website would be awesome. Final Thoughts: Great small business. If you find a favorite stylist, it seems pretty easy to book appointments only through them. They do a great job with good quality, and judging by the regulars that were in there, lots of Oelwein residents love this place. I'll definitely be back, and I love supporting a small business that's definitely producing awesome results at very affordable prices.

I had been intrigued by float therapy and desperately wanted to try it. I went into the appointment a little anxiety, but after being greeted by the friendly staff, that immediately faded. The staff was incredibly informative about the process and were able to answer all of my questions. After an informational video and a quick shower, I was ready to hop in the float tank. It took a few minutes to adapt to the sensory deprivation, but I took solace in the fact that a panic button was safely within reach. I was able to relax by slowly counting to 100. Doing so helped me clear my head and fully enjoy the experience. By placing my arms in the water over my head, I was able to relieve a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders. I tried other positions, but this was my personal favorite. The 60 minutes quickly passed and I left feeling refreshed! I signed up immediately for a second session. Not only was my float experience wonderful, but my fiancé received a 60-minute Swedish massage which he raved about! Oftentimes, he complains about the lack of pressure applied on his trouble areas, but he was pleasantly surprised with the level of attention and detail given to his upper shoulders and back.
