Detailed Account of Negligent Service Formal Complaint…read moreRegarding Negligent Eyebrow Waxing Service and Subsequent Skin Damage Service Performed: Eyebrow Shaping and Waxing Time of Service: April 2025, Esthetician: T. Result: Severe skin damage requiring immediate medical attention, resulting in prolonged physical and professional inconvenience. During the service, I experienced clear indications of improper technique and negligent care: Excessive Heat: The applied beeswax felt excessively hot, indicating an improper temperature setting. Aggressive Removal: The removal of the wax sheet by the esthetician was noticeably aggressive and forceful. Immediate Pain & Acknowledgment: Immediately after the wax removal, I informed the esthetician, Treasure, that the areas above and between my eyebrows were extremely painful. Negligent Aftercare: I questioned whether a proper post-wax cleanser (such as rubbing alcohol) had been used. Treasure confirmed that "No" such cleanser was applied. I was only advised to use a generic ointment and Vitamin E oil. Upon returning home, the painful area above and between my eyebrows became severely red and inflamed. I subsequently confirmed that the skin in these blotches-on both sides above the brow and between the brows-had been physically lifted and removed (skin abrasion/burn). Current State of Injury: The damaged area has progressed from red to pink and is now a noticeable brown/hyperpigmented color. Permanent Damage: The injury to the skin, particularly above the left eyebrow, remains visible even after two professional consultations, indicating permanent damage and a high risk of long-term scarring. Personal and Professional Impact: I have been forced to stay indoors and rigorously avoid all sun exposure to prevent further hyperpigmentation. This has caused significant personal and professional inconvenience, including the cancellation of scheduled appointments. Initial In-Person Follow-Up: I returned to the salon to show the extent of the damage. I spoke with an employee named Emily, who confirmed the owner / manager was unavailable. Broken Financial Commitment: The business owner promised in written format to reimburse all current and future dermatology visit fees related to this injury. However, the owner failed to follow through on this commitment, and all subsequent attempts to contact them regarding payment have been ignored. Lack of Response to Third Party: I filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), but the business owner did not respond to the inquiry at all, demonstrating a profound lack of professionalism and accountability. This incident reflects a severe lapse in professional standards, commitment, and customer care. I have suffered a painful and lasting physical injury, permanent damage to my left eyebrow, and significant inconvenience due to the negligence of the esthetician and the subsequent failure of the business owner to uphold their financial commitment and basic professional responsibility.

I have been to this location Woodhouse spa at least 6-8 times since moving to NJ 6 years ago and i…read morealways have a great experience! 10 out of 10 would always recommend. Customer service: excellent, they are able to accomadate adds on to spa packages and are up front about costs for everything. You are able to make reservations online which i havent done because i always prefer to chat with a real person. Ive done the couples massage which was nice, its in a big room thats basically conjoined so you arent too far from your bf or gf. Services: ive done swedish massages, facials and nail salon service which are all super relaxing. I'm not a big facial person but the technician is gentle and does minimal extractions (worse part but its very short). Most of the masseuses have all been great and you can tell they have some consistency with training which makes for a good expeeience. The salon is relaxing, the regular nail polish job is decent and usually get it with a spa package. Other amenities: they usually recommend items that were used during your services, the nail oil is great and only $2 lasting for along time! The relaxation room is nice with tea and light snacks. Parking is usually validated if you bring your parking deck ticket. Areas of improvement: I went to a woodhouse spa in Bethesda, MD which offered food during your spa services and also complementart champagne. I thought that was such a nice tough! Since there are so many local restaurants in the area you could partner with that would be an additional stream of income. I ordered my food while getting my pedicure at the MD location, i would love if this location was able to do something like this! I will return, from your Loyal patreon!

First time trying out the Woodspa-Montclair and had a good experience. Inside was clean and…read morecomfortable with spacious bathroom/changing rooms and even a full shower. They also had a quiet room where you can have tea and a few little snacks as well as spend some time there after your massage. We had a couples massage - husband had Julia and I had Shanyce. The experience was nice and relaxing and I liked that it was front first and then back. Shanyce was very professional, paid attention to areas of concerns and communicates instructions well. Husband and I agreed we both had a good experience but that next time we will most likely request for more pressure especially me for my "trouble areas". Checking in and out was seamless too and I appreciate they have homecare and treatment recommendations written on the cards they gave after checking out.

I always say, when I am rich my indulgence will be to get my hair done every day. Well, now I am…read moresuper sad I will never be rich because Aura Head Spa was quite the indulgent experience, which I loved every single moment of. My family got me a gift card to Aura Head Spa for my birthday, and I am SO glad they did! To be honest, I was a bit nervous with some of these reviews, but maybe they've since gotten all the kinks out of their business because I had a wonderful time here. The lobby area is very cute and the check-in process was super easy with the very lovely front desk ladies. Gabby came to get me. I put on their robe, put my belongings in a locker, and headed downstairs for my 50 minute classic head spa with an added curl relief service. Gabby told me that it is a shared space downstairs so that we will be whispering when talking. I didn't mind this at all, and it did not take away from my experience. When I laid down on the table she put a warming mask on my eyes, which was glorious and began the whole process. She worked on my scalp the most - massaging, gentle scraping, using one of the vibration machines (sorry, don't know what they are called), and the water fall halo. All of it was AMAZING. I felt so relaxed and just entirely in the moment. The mini shoulder massage and facial were fantastic as well! As others have said, I wish it could have gone on and on! Afterwards, I went up to their blow dry bar and did my hair for the day. Even that was a lovely experience in and of itself. It was just the perfect me time I needed. Thank you Aura Head Spa. Also, pro tip - I was going to wear sweatpants, but decided last minute to wear jeans. I should have stuck with my gut and wore sweatpants because obviously you leave your pants on. I would have been a bit more comfy in sweats or shorts, instead of jeans, but that certainly didn't take away from anything!

We made reservations ahead of time, which is important because they were pretty booked for that day. You could either park in the parking garage nearby metered parking or there's some two hour parking spots nearby as well There's a small little area where you get changed before going downstairs for the head spa If you are the type of person who likes to have your head and hair played with, I highly recommend coming here. The only downfall is I never wanted it to end. They scrub your hair, scrape your hair wash your hair. It all feels so good. I would say the only downfall is it is a little bit pricey for the service. However, it is nice to do every once in a while.

I first became a patient of Dr. Downie 16 years ago when I was living in NJ and her office was at another location in Montclair. I needed a doctor who specializes in the treatment of African skin, which easily scars and hyperpigments. A few customers in my hair braider's shop recommended her. Dr. Downie successfully treated my melasma because I have not since had a recurrence. Dr. Downie is both my medical and cosmetic dermatologist. I drive over and hour and a half from Eastern Long Island to see her. She has performed on me many cosmetic procedures, which beautify my skin. I use the skin and hair products she recommends.
