It ended around 5:50, so I didn't receive the full time I paid for. The location also wasn't ideal during the massage, I heard two loud car alarms and an ambulance right outside the window, which made it hard to relax. While the masseuse was kind, the massage itself wasn't what I was looking for. I booked a lymphatic drainage massage but received more of a light, general massage with little pressure or technique. Considering the price (plus the generous tip I left), I was really disappointed overall. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

I have been going there for approximately 20 years and feel like family. I am so comfortable with my aesthetician, Cici, that I let her choose which facial is best for me at that time. My usual treatments are brow wax and tint, a 90 minute facial and dermaplane. My recent 90 minute facial with Cici felt like I was on a week of vacation instead of just a 90 minute relaxing session. I 100% recommend Spa Royale Day Spa. The spa is clean, beautiful and inviting and the associates are warm and welcoming. I know you will love your experience at Spa Royale Day Spa.

Beware of signing a month to month contract with this company…read more I was a member for over a year, but due to my work schedule I was unable to use my membership, especially since the one massage therapist I felt has exceptional skills was never available when I was. I ended up canceling my membership in October, and when I did, I had 11 credits left. That means I had paid for ELEVEN massages I have not received. I was told those credits would be available to me for use, and that I could even transfer 3 of them a year to friends. When I went in today to transfer credits to a friend going through a horrific time, I was told my "grace period " had expired in February and I could no longer use my credits. They said if I signed back up, they'd make my credits available to me again. Basically, "commit to paying more money and we'll give you back the $900 we took from you". Of course I refused, as this is akin to highway robbery. I work next door to this business, and previously had referred our clients to Hand & Stone, but that stops as of today. I too work in a business with month to month contracts, yet we always make sure that the money that pur clients already paid is available to them for use anytime in the future after they cancel a contract. So I'm not naive to this sort of business model. I'm disappointed, disgusted and hurt by the lack of empathy offered to a repeat customer at Hand & Stone. And, they took a lot of money in exchange for nothing. User beware!Beware of signing a month to month contract with this company.

Self-Care on another level!…read more Where had Enso Tioga and their amazing team been hiding for the last 6 years that I've been in Gainesville?! When I was first introduced to Enso last year, I was immediately a superfan. Upon entry to the salon, you will be too. Wonderfully curated in the terms of decor and team, you're immediately in-store for a feast for the eyes and spirit. Decorated in a peaceful, bohemian style, each part of Enso seems like it was considered before their doors opened. From the beautiful wall mural to the wicker chairs, each piece of furniture seems like it was handpicked! There are also such classic touches as vintage linen cloths used to dry your hands after washing them. Soooo classy! You won't find paper towels here! Enso thinks of all the ways they can continue putting love back into our earth and healthier options for us all, including non-toxic polish options! When I say that this is my top choice, second choice, and third choice for my pedicure in town, I'm not joking! So many other local salons don't take the time to truly make the experience stand out, you may often feel rushed or even disappointed when you leave - not my experience at Enso. From the first impression upon entry to the awesome menu of Bubbly options, to the 5-star service with prices that rival other options that are not on the same level. Located in the buzzing, and peaceful location in the Town of Tioga, even the parking lot feels lush! If you're making plans at Enso, it's a great time to treat yourself to a post-pedi lunch as they've got great neighbors! So if you're a person who "good isn't GREAT enough" for you when it comes to your nails, beauty appointments, location, and experience? You may want to check out Enso! But we aren't the only fans of Enso so be sure you put an appointment in!
