Didn't expect, or ask for, a political, social and economic commentary with my acceptable pedicure but I got one anyway. I thought Virginians were supposed to be polite and genteel? Seems to be a lot of this going around there. Maybe keep that kind of stuff to yourself read more

I want to start off by saying this is a beautiful spa and everyone I interacted with was so sweet and friendly. I went In for a Brazilian wax had high expectations based on the atmosphere and staff. About 1/3 of the way through my wax I noticed that the aesthetician had dipped the same stick just used on me back into that wax pot. I then realized there were no used sticks in a trash can that I could see, which led me to believe that she had been using the same stick the entire time. I then asked, upfront, if she had been using the same stick throughout the wax. To my dismay, she said she had been using the same stick and that I was definitely not the only client she had waxed with this pot of wax. While the technique was really good and I could tell that she was paying close attention to detail, I couldn't allow her to continue to wax my inner labia. I have never in my life had an aesthetician double dip or think it's an "okay practice". It's an unsafe and unhygienic practice; The wax does not get hot enough to kill bacteria. As clients, we trust aestheticians to provide their services in a safe and hygienic manner, which is why I was so shocked by how casually this aesthetician confirmed the practice. It is up to each person to decide what they are comfortable with, but for the aforementioned reason, I cannot recommend this establishment. read more

While on a weekend visit to Harrisonburg we had a coupon offered by our B&B for The Beauty Spa. We booked a chakra alignment double with no problem. The second floor studio is cozy and relaxing. The receptionist was pleasant, and our masseuses were thorough in talking us through what would occur and asking about areas of special tension, tenderness, etc. What followed was a wonderful and relaxing hour massage followed by a complimentary tea. We found the experience from start to finish to be professional, relaxing, and a wonderful start to a weekend getaway. read more

His place is such a gem. I have been twice for facials and Anita makes you feel heavenly when you walk out the door. She talks you through everything she is using during the treatment, and customized your facial after looking at your skin and seeing what it really needs. This is not a luxurious place but it is cute in a historic building, clean and the Aveda products they use are very high quality. Can't wait for my next appointment. read more

Everyone was so friendly! My sister and I got pedicures to celebrate our birthdays. I liked the pedicure set up. It was very comfortable. I loved the aveda products and I love Essie polish. My sister really enjoyed her experience. I did too, but I felt like the technician wasn't into it. Like it was a chore. I don't want to say anything bad because they were very sweet. The hot tea was wonderful. Leah was very hospitable. read more

I would highly recommend The Beauty Spa. I had previously had a massage and decided they were not for me. I recieved a gift certificate for Christmas for a massage and facial. My massage was with Jonathan and Anita did my facial. I throughly enjoyed both and will be returning. read more

Beauty Spa is located in a quaint historic house in Harrisonburg, VA that boasts a lot of character and charm. Greeted by a friendly staff I proceeded to get checked in and met my masseuse. I then made my way to a private room where I enjoyed an hour long massage that was both relaxing and professional. The use of hot towels during the massage was a major plus and at the end I felt like a new man. I will be a repeat customer if and when I'm back up this way. Totally worth the money spent cause sometimes you just gotta "treat yo self!" read more

My massage was fantastic! However, the massage room in the front of the house overlooks Market Street-- I could hear the traffic the entire time. read more

I got an eyebrow and bikini wax here this week. First, I was so confused on where the entrance to the building was, there is parking in the back, then you have to walk into the side of this residential looking house an up stairs...it was a little hard to figure out, a sign might have helped. Second, the technician was very nice and welcoming! She did a great job on my eyebrows. My bikini wax tho....oh my god no. She did a mixture of hot wax and hard wax, however the wax was insanely hot, not just uncomfortable but SUPER hot my skin was red for the next 3 days. Then, once i got home to look at it, i was surprised to see it was totally off center. It looked like the side that was further away from her was totally neglected, and I ended up having to shave to even it out. In the middle of the wax a girl knocked on the door to tell her that there was an appt before me who showed up late and that she had been sitting there "For a really really long time". The end of my appt seemed rushed and not attended to, which was disappointing. For eyebrows, I 100% would suggest it was great, for a bikini wax, I however do not. read more

I have now had four facials with Anita, and my (aging) skin looks better than it has in years. She is dealing effectively with problem areas, I love the Aveda products, and I feel relaxed and comfortable when I see her at The Beauty Spa. Also, I think that the prices for services are very reasonable. Right before Christmas I had a gel manicure, which was mostly okay. However, one nail began to bubble and peel within days, which was a hassle, since I was out of town and could not have it corrected. Overall, I highly recommend The Beauty Spa...mostly because I think that Anita is great. She does a really terrific job, and this is my first choice for facials in Harrisonburg. read more

First let me start by saying I live in the West Village in NYC and normally frequent Jin Soon, a VERY high nail salon here in NYC. I was home over the Thanksgiving holiday and a friend recommended this place. I foolishly didn't check the cost--my own fault, I totally admit that, as I assumed that there was NO WAY anywhere in Harrisonburg would have the nerve to charge more than Jin Soon in Manhattan for a regular mani/pedi. I was wrong! They charged ten dollars more! $60 for a mani/pedi! If I had been in NYC at the Guerlain Spa or Elizabeth Arden or somewhere, okay. no biggie. But to receive a very very mediocre mani/pedi (and I'm being kind) at this price, I cannot honestly fathom what the owner is thinking! Don't Don't waste your money! I have had much much better mani/pedis in the burg at some of the asian owned nail salons for HALF the price! read more

You can always count on The Beauty Spa to offer top notch luxurious service. Anita holds the highest standards and does her best to hire and maintain skilled and professional staff. The products are all natural and the environment is serene and beautiful. Try them out! read more

Consistently nice! Rare in this day.....massages great & always enjoy my nail appts. It smells divine, only aveda oils scent the air.....very relaxing, always a nice treat! read more

Since my massage with Michael, I've had my nails done at the Beauty Spa, numerous facials/waxing/eyebrow tinting by Shannon, and massages by Taryn and Jen. Is there nothing that this team can't do perfectly? Shannon is an angel and makes even the dreaded bikini wax comfortable. She puts me into a magnificent trance with her facials (read: I snort myself awake sometimes) and my skin has never been more glowing and healthy since I started seeing her. Taryn and Jen both have wicked strong hands and a keen ability to find all those little spots that you never knew needed a working over but desperately do. I honestly think that my overall health has improved because of the services I've had at the BS. read more

Awesome place, amazing people, and fantastic services. My mother and I have come every year to have our annual spa day while I am visiting the Valley from Los Angeles. Due to living in Los Angeles I have VERY high standards and The Beauty Spa does not disappoint. Most recently I received the most amazing hot stone massage from Jonathan and the best facial EVER from Anita. Amazing customer service. Donna made everything so easy for me to book from Los Angeles. If you are looking for a top notch place for your next spa day, The Beauty Spa is the top spa in The Valley. read more

I called to make a last minute mani and pedi appointment for two people and Anita was very accommodating. They were so booked that she was personally willing to come in early to try to make it work for us. I appreciated the excellent customer service! read more

This place is TERRIBLE. I got a massage about 2 weeks ago, and believe me, i will never go back. Not only can you hear every car beep or honk, you can hear music bumping and rattling windows. On top of the noise from outside, you can hear every single conversation that people are having in the next room over, and in the reception area when people come in. Don't ever go here. If you want to relax and let your mind go for a little bit, THIS IS NOT the place. read more
