My experience has always been great My daughter recommended it to me, as I was newbie to Brazilian waxing. I will never go back to shaving, and I will always be a loyal patron at this location. The service is always quick, and semi- painless or at least tolerable if you follow the recommendations, (don't wait too long in between treatments for hair to grow back to long) it's affordable, very clean facility and super friendly staff. Alex takes great care to make sure you are bikini or lingerie ready all year long. Don't delay...Book your appointment today. Shelita C. Newark, NJ

My friend and I went for spray tans here. There was a literal child behind the reception desk, a…read moreyoung boy (I'm not joking; I don't know where the adults were). Needless to say, he couldn't find our appointments. He managed to squeeze us in, apparently by giving us some other woman's timeslot bc she showed up pitching a fit during our sprays. We asked where to go for the service. And instead of going behind reception to the salon rooms, we were sent back out the door to the salon, up a few flights of stairs inside an old apartment building. When we got to the piles of black garbage bags stacked in the hallway, the door to the spray room was to the right. There's a tiny, shabby waiting room, if you can call it that, and a janky storage room/janitor closet. Plus, the woman getting sprayed had left her stuff all over the one chair, open handbag and everything. The tan itself didn't really look like much, except on my face, which was really dark. But everywhere else you couldn't really notice it. So, nope. Would not recommend. PS: If this review convinces you to go here, be prepared to get totally nay-nay except for disposable paper undies.

I struggled this evening with posting about one of the lamest massages I've had in my life…read more Struggle over. I worried that a business struggles to make it in this economy. I worried that perhaps the "therapist" just had an off day. Then it hit me. Who's going to worry about new customers coming here and shelling out $150 for an hour's worth of mediocre tepid substandard whatever this was? I will. What about my endless long work hours that would shock most people, coming to this place for a decent massage to relieve the bad body effects of extreme overwork but walking out with zero effect? I'll worry. Not one knot found, much less kneaded out. Zero reflexology. Faking it over and over. She started off telling me - not asking me, but telling that she doesn't talk "because she listens to the body." Guess her hands were deaf. I've gotten massages for decades here in the U.S. as well as other free countries. This wasn't just a below average massage - the only massage worse than this was a masseuse in her 70's down South that after just running her hands tepidly over my skin here and there, she left after she tried selling me a Bible. They're so charming down there I couldn't get mad. And I had never returned to Bennesere until today. My prior visit, I was subjugated and subjected to -and I'm not kidding you: an hour of unwanted Russian propaganda talking points. You think I'm kidding? I'm not. That massage wasn't great either and I wasn't buying "Ukraine had it coming". So i struggled tonight with whether or not I should just write privately to them but I don't want a third wasted hour offered. It's clear they don't hire quality masseuses. It's clear they don't vet or train these people. And for $150, I don't just expect competence: I deserve it. Never again.

Martin is a fantastic massage therapist - no matter what aches or pains you walk in with, you'll leave feeling like a new person. His comprehensive massage is a pressure points, adjustment and massage type of therapy. You'll really feel like a million bucks when you leave! Unfortunately, the other massage therapists are not great. High turnover as well: they only stick around for a few months' time and then leave, not sure why. I haven't had a facial, so can't speak about those services. The spa's rooms are very close together and even though they play spa music, you can usually hear what's going on in the next room. If you have a massage in one of the front rooms, you'll also hear the people waiting in the reception area. Limited parking in Maplewood, so leave yourself time to find a spot.

I booked an appointment online over a month in advance. After booking, i received a confirmation…read moremail stating my request was received and i would receive a confirmation email if accepted. I wait 1, 2, 3 weeks and receive no further communication from them. I called on the third week and the phone went straight to voicemail. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, left a message and waited for a call back. 2 days later i get this text from the studio asking if im going to book any additional services because everything is a la carte. My appointment was never even confirmed and their top concern was finding out if im going to buy anything else. I felt accosted. Considering my appointment was never confirmed after 3 weeks, I had already made other arrangements. Now today, 3 days before the appointment, i get my "Confirmation Email" from them saying the appointment is denied due to an "issue" with my request. The text i received was not outlining an issue, just asking if i wanted to book more services. So, it would seem that booking additional services is not optional, its a requirement. I might not have had an issue with this if they didnt wait 3 weeks to let me know. Obviously I wont be going here but the response time for online booking is not great. By the time they got back to me, i had already booked somewhere else, simply because i didn't know if they would ever get back to me. Its also not outlined on the website that additional services need to be booked for certain treatments or appointment requests will be denied.
