The environment is dark with inviting low lights, soothing scents, and calming music. I was checked in quickly and offered a variety of water flavors before receiving a deliciously cold wine glass of cucumber lime water and taken into the waiting room. My service was great and made me excited to try out more of their services. I was offered a to-go cup of some more water, which I accepted and began to inquire on other services I could book soon. I really felt relaxed and like I was in a true spa environment. I will be back again to try more! Oh! But I do need to remember that spas apparently prefer cash tip, so bring cash, because you're going to want to leave a good tip after your great service!

The place was clean and serene. I purchased the Deluxe Sauna package which included a private sauna session, paraffin wax for hands and feet, a one-hour massage, a facial, and complimentary wine, and a small gift basket filled with specialty soaps and lotion. Service all around was spectacular and Ms. Debra (owner) was personable and very attentive - she did my facial and her hands are magical! I left feeling pampered and very relaxed. Will definitely return again and recommend this BLACK-OWNED spot to all my family and friends.

Upon arriving my appointment was pushed back, due to a regular customer arriving 15 minutes late. I then asked to reschedule for a later time. I was granted my request but upon entering again I was delayed service due to esthetician not being available during scheduled appointment. Once service begun my esthetician Emma answered her phone repeatedly throughout my service and became agitated when I informed her that certain parts of my body need to be waxed over due to hair still being visible. My service was $180 in total and what I paid does not match the service that was given.
