    Handwritten thank you note!

    I had a great first experience with a massage with Vanessa. There was a robe and slippers already in my locker, in my size, with a neatly written chalkboard hanging from it so I knew which one was mine. I enjoyed a glass of champagne while decompressing in the waiting area. The massage was wonderful including aromatherapy but I'd specifically requested for suggestions for my next massage since my regular for many years just moved and she just did what she needed to do so I didn't have the language to describe what I wanted. Now I do thanks to Vanessa's noting and even demonstrating some of the different techniques. I'm much more educated. I was pleased enough to schedule my next one before leaving! All of this would have been enough for me to decide to become a regular here but what pushed it over the edge to review status was the hand written thank you note I received from the owners. Wow! Just a class act all the way around!

    The card that I was told never existed, signed by the owners.

    The one star is because there is SO much potential here. It's truly a shame that the horrible attitude of the owner, Colleen, truly ruined the experience. I was there for a spa day my husband had booked to give me a break from nursing during a pandemic and momming four kiddos. Honestly, running literal mud on me would have felt like a 5 star experience. I had about $500 worth of services but had a 10% off card, signed by Walt and Colleen after my first visit. I let them know about it when I booked and was told by the kind receptionist that she was entering it into the computer so that I didn't "have to worry about it on the day of". When I went to check out, they couldn't find that, or some credit that my husband had gone in to add to my account. I asked for them to check under both of our names. Colleen stormed out from the back and was immediately agitated and incredibly condescending. She went on to tell me that they "don't do 10% off cards". I explained that I have actually received two of them, on separate occasions, signed by herself and Walt. She denied that this could be the case, but when another employee spoke up, she conceded that they do, but only for military and visits on a birthday. I explained that my husband is military and I had been there on my birthday once. She proceeded to tell me that once people "hear about those discounts" they tend to pretend they have them. At this point I was in tears. I felt humiliated in front of a salon full of people watching this interaction. As far as I know, my store credit is missing in action and I ended up paying hundreds more than expected (despite having put back a significant amount of product because they do not deserve my business). No apology, no kind words, just a "next time bring the card". There will be no next time.

I recently went for the day to treat myself since it was my birthday. It's pricey, yes, but sooo worth it. Make sure you take the time to spend the day there! After your services they let you explore the pool and other amenities for up to two hours. I felt as if I was treated like royalty. All the staff was super friendly, and my manicure hasn't chipped for a week now. I had the Kashmere Quench Wrap, a manicure and pedicure. The body wrap was amazing it was for hydration and I really felt the benefits of it even days after. I think if you go on the weekend it might be a little more crowded but I was there on a Tuesday and there was an average amount of people. I got hungry during my pedicure and they bought me out a little snack tray. I'd love to think I'll be back in six months or so but you know it all depends on the budget lol!

I drove an hour to get there each way. when we arrived, the doormen let us know that there was a power outage but no other indication that they had limited service and the restaurant was seating for lunch. I was there 30 mins early as requested. when I walked over to the spa, they told me they werent able to provide any services due to the power outage once I asked about my 1pm appointment. while it was out of their control, the way the situation was handled was outrageous. they had known the power was out for over an hour and a half and that all appointments were cancelled, without any attempt to let me know before I arrived. to wait until I went to the desk to check in was an absolute waste of time and there was no attempt to make up for the situation whatsoever. just a simple "sorry you made it all the way out here, and I'll cancel the appointment and call to reschedule" had they handled the situation better and provided any sort of notice or attempt to make right on such a last minute cancellation, I would return, but at this point I refuse to come back. the service through the situation was disappointing.

Well needless to say, we will be on the hunt for a better spot- FOR SURE. Here's what our feedback was to the establishment since they asked, and I decided to share here in case it's helpful to anyone thinking about going here: "The overall experience was disappointing and did not meet the standards expected of a professional wellness or spa environment. The walk between buildings felt awkward and disjointed, and the areas where services were provided were visibly unclean. This immediately detracted from the sense of calm and comfort that clients typically seek when booking spa services. The sauna instructions were overly complicated and nonintuitive. Rather than supporting a seamless, stress-free experience, the setup required unnecessary effort and attention at a time when guests should be able to arrive, decompress, and enjoy the service. One of the facials was particularly concerning. The provider fell out of her chair during the session, left the room for approximately 15 minutes within the allotted service time, and complained openly about missing supplies that had not been ordered. Her presentation and behavior appeared impaired or otherwise not fully attentive, which was alarming in a setting where professionalism, focus, and client safety are expected. There were also sanitation concerns. Gloves were not worn during the sessions- in particular extractions & close facial work, which raised hygiene and safety questions. Given the nature of skincare treatments and direct contact with facial areas, adherence to clear sanitation protocols is critical. Both facials were performed below expected standards. Product application felt careless rather than intentional for both clients. Creams were applied in a manner that resulted in product entering the nostril area for both clients. In one instance, the technician had to awkwardly clean the inside of a nostril during the service, which was unexpected and uncomfortable (and something never experienced prior). In the other facial, cream entered the nostril and remained there throughout the session, creating concern about inhalation; the client ultimately had to clean it out herself after the session. This experience was distracting and far from relaxing. Additionally, massage and sculpting techniques reflected a noticeable lack of refinement and training, particularly for clients accustomed to higher-quality services. Overall, the experience lacked attentiveness, professionalism, cleanliness, and the level of care expected in a premium setting."

As a heads up: mineral oil will be used, so be prepared to be covered in it. Final Thoughts: If you are not used to full body spa massages, the pricing is steep but comparatively it is competitive for the area, especially if you get June. The first time I went, my body really felt brand new afterwards. Highly recommend her!

    Extremely Disappointing Experience -- Feels Like a Scam…read more I scheduled a microneedling treatment at HealthyDermis Spa after seeing their $130 promotion. When I arrived, the door was locked, and I waited about 15 minutes in the hallway before anyone let me in. Once inside, the aesthetician spent around 20 minutes talking about her business and the products she uses basically a sales pitch, then briefly looked at my skin for about 30 seconds before telling me that microneedling wasn't suitable for me and recommending an $800 laser treatment instead. I can appreciate a professional opinion but a consultation consists of asking the patient their concerns , what treatments or products they are currently using , goals. and thorough examination of the skin . None of this was done . In total, I was there for about an hour, received no treatment, and later came home to find a $250 charge sent to me . I then had to spend additional time sorting out a mix-up in their patient profiles. Despite the circumstances, they refused to refund my $20 deposit, even though I never received any service. Overall, the experience was unprofessional, frustrating, and felt misleading. Poor customer service and lack of transparency -- I would not recommend this place.
