I've been seeing Melanie for years and I can honestly say that there is no one else that I would trust to do my Botox and injections. She's incredibly knowledgeable in her craft and takes the time to explain everything so I always feel completely comfortable with the services that I'm getting. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she provides clear and thorough information about aftercare instructions. On top of that, Melanie's warm and positive energy makes my appointment something that I look forward to. She is simply the best, and I will be going to her for years to come for all of my beauty needs. read more

Went in for a peel I usually get somewhere else and was given another option that may be better. It made such a difference, I have seen a huge difference in my skin. Great service , and Melodie is fantastic!!! I won't go anywhere else ! read more

I have never had any type of injections done as I don't like needles and was concerned about the pain. I went to Abella Skin Spa with my friend that has had quite of few rounds of Botox and other fillers. I watched Melodie work on my friend and she was so caring and kind. She numbed the are where she was going to be doing the injections which really helped my friend. Soooo, if your friend is getting treatments and looking younger than you, you know what you have to do.... I went ahead and had Botox done! I was pleasantly surprised at how good the experience was! I also had some laser hair removal done on my chin and lip (why does hair grow there???) I'm excited to go back and see Melodie for some other "work" as now I have a long list! I would highly recommend Melodie and her beautiful salon for any of your med spa needs! read more

I absolutely love Abella Skin Spa and would highly recommend it! The treatments, services, and professionalism is like no other spa I have ever gone to. Melodie takes the utmost care, and time with her clients. Truly the BEST Spa experiences in my life! read more

I bought a groupon awhile ago and then my mom got sick and passed away, leaving the groupon expired. I was very impressed with Melody and the ability to work around all of my personal issues to give me upstanding care. I had never had Botox before, I was nervous and unsure how it was going to work. I have had lots of sun damage to my face and WOW was i surprised at the results. I would recommend her to everyone. I am not sure what the negative reviews are about but I can guarantee that I do not know her personally. She was just really great to me!! read more

Five star experience at Abella Salon and Spa! Here's the scoop....I went in for Botox (found on Groupon) and Juvaderm (this decision was made after Abella's owner, Melodie, stunned me with her knowledge of Juvaderm in addition to Botox). When I first pulled up, the building was nice but I didn't immediately think of a spa. However, once I went inside her office I was like "Wow, this is so super cute". Melodie was so professional that in preparation for my arrival, she left a flower pen and the Abella waiver for me to read and sign. First impressions are so important and she really wowed me! Melodie was extremely professional, greeting me, asking me all of the professional first time visit questions to learn about my prior botox experience. Furthermore, she actually knew more than my professional dermatologist because she recommended specific pre-treatment and items to avoid starting one week prior to having my lips injected with Juvaderm - and I knew from experience she was accurate due to a prior reaction. She asked me to schedule my Juvaderm appointment one week from my Botox appointment. Also, she called in a prescription for me. What really impressed me was that she provided two Juvaderm appointments so she could treat me with 3/4 Juvaderm and make sure my outcome was exactly what I wanted. More importantly, both botox and Juvaderm injections turned out extremely natural-looking, yet perfectly full and very attractive. I have had a lot of great compliments at work and by friends and family since my visit at Abella. I received the best results all-around and will most definitely recommend Melodie and be back to see her for my future skincare needs. read more

Freddy rescued me. I was able to get a last minute appointment with him before a wedding reception. My bouncy hair became a wispy frame for my face. Even more impressive however was the facial waxing. He was very meticulous in applying the wax. My eyebrows never looked better. Best of all, the procedure was pain FREE. I didn't need the hold my breath and nothing was red around the brows or lip. Bravo! read more

I have been going to Melodie for years and trust no one else to work on my skin. I highly recommend her!

Who knows? I called them 6 different times over 3 non-consecutive days. No one ever answered the phone; It was always a recording regardless of the time of day. I left messages and they never returned my call. I suspect the reason may be is that I made the mistake in my voice message and revealed that I had a question about their active Groupon. I'm sure businesses don't make money on their Groupons but, who knows? All I know is that experience has shown me that if a business never answers their phone and does not return calls, it is suspect. read more

I got Botox done from Melodie and had a great experience. I had the groupon but Melodie was great at communicating. I opted to get an additional 5 units, but it was worth it. It was a cute and clean salon, I def recommend. read more

I have been coming to Melodie a little over a year now. I absolutely love Melodie! She is very professional, caring and extremely gentle. She makes herself readily available for any questions or concerns you may have before and after treatment, further, she spends a good bit of time going over your treatment goals. She has a quiet treatment room in the back and it is very easy to feel comfortable. I have never used a groupon with Melodie so I have no idea about that experience. It is more important to me to get a knowledgeable, caring and gentle provider than a discount. I am having Botox injected into my face after all! Melodie does participate in the Botox "frequent flier" program so there is a savings on that end :) read more

I purchased a groupon for Botox and called to make an appointment (BTW, they schedule botox appts all at once, so you have to make it to the salon on a specific day rather than when is convenient for you). Finally found a time that work work - a month later than I wanted and just barely before the groupon expired. I arrived about 5 minutes early, as I like to do and sat around in the waiting room for about 20 minutes with barely a "hello" (pet peeve of mine). The lady was nice enough and seemed to know what she was doing and I got my shots and left. About a week later I was still waiting for the botox to take effect. I was still waiting the following week when it was time to have my eyebrows waxed. I went to my usual lady who promptly said my eyebrows we out of line and different shapes (which I noticed but was in denial about). One eyebrow was raised and instead of arcing it jutted straight off my face. She tried to fix it as best she could and sent me on my way. That night at dinner, I told one of my friends about what had happened (she gets botox all the time). She told me most places who offer groupons for botox WATER IT DOWN. The botox was so watered down that it didn't work and I still have wrinkles, only she must have put more botox water above one eyebrow, because that eyebrow is screwed up. My friend is trying to convince me to call the salon manager - I'm seriously considering it. Long story short - if you want to pay quite a bit to have water injected into your face go to this salon. I feel completely ripped off. I am very laidback and the type of person who never complains, but I REALLY feel strongly about this - STAY AWAY from this terrible salon. read more

I had either a Groupon or Living Social discount for six laser hair removal treatments. I used two of the six sessions and will not be returning to this establishment. Parking is lacking in general. The waiting area is very nice, and the treatment room was also very nice. The technician performing the procedure, the same gal both times, was professional and competent. (I have had laser hair removal for my underarms at another business) Reasons for two stars: 1. Timeliness of returned calls is not adequate or within the time period indicated in their message (even when I called on a weekday). Since there is not a receptionist, be prepared to wait longer than 24 hours for a response to an inquiry 2. Because the isn't a receptionist, there is no appointment reminder. I used another business for eyelash tinting that the owner ran out off basement; she didn't have a receptionist, but is able to provide appointment reminders via email. For a business that is in an actual office building (vs a private residence with their business in their basement), I expect an appointment reminder At my second appointment, I scheduled my third appointment. Because I have a varying work schedule and am not allowed to bring my smart phone into my work area, I use a "white berry" (paper weekly planner) that includes my work schedule and all appointments (both routine & non-routine). I know I recorded the date/time of the third appointment correctly, since I would be coming off a midnight shift and would have only a few hours of sleep. Unfortunately, the technician did not write the appointment down correctly in her paper appointment book. She had me down for the next day. There was no apology, and after waiting another five minutes for her to return to reschedule my appointment (which I had requested once is was told I was a day early), I left. I did not receive a call on the day/time of my "actual" appointment, with an apology and/or offer to reschedule. I understand it is technically my fault for missing this appointment, and if I had received a call offering me treatments four, five & six (with me absorbing the loss of treatment three), I would have gladly returned to this establishment. Since I was not afforded that opportunity and the fear of having this happen again, I have not returned and do not plan on returning. read more

I have been having Melodie do my Botox and laser treatments for years now and an continually pleased by the outcome. And she is an absolute sweetheart. She is very professional and extremely knowledgeable about so many different ways to enhance appearances. The office is beautifully decorated and has a very calming feel about it. I would most definitely trust Melodie to do all my services and give this Spa my highest recommendation. read more

Melody went out if her way in my Birthday and upgraded my filler for me ! Her kindness after purchasing a lemon of a car ) was so touching to me and she really brightened my. Month! I've been here 2 times and will never go else where she is professional and such a wonderful knowledgeable classy lady! Visit melody you'll thank me later! read more

So I came to get a facial and partial massage from getting a deal on Weeklyplus as well as an eyebrow shaping. After finding the place parking was a little difficult because they share parking with a number of other buildings. The inside lobby is nice and so was the treatment room. I called a number of times and even though I left messages I finally had to email and ask them to call me back. Once I arrived the girl got me situated in the room but it was warm, she opened the window and it cooled off but it took her forever to get everything ready she didn't have it preset up. I would think you'd make sure you were totally set up for the appointment. She did my eyebrows and they looked really great. She didn't explain what she was doing threw each step of the facial which would have made me more comfortable and she was chomping on her gum. It was a nice facial but I don't think I'd drive down there for another one anytime soon read more

Yesterday, I went to Melodie, the owner of Abella, for a 1-hour hot rocks massage. Though the waiting area had a too-loud radio playing, the massage room was peaceful and very quiet. I've had many massages in my life but Melodie was up there in terms of skill. She was respectful if I wanted to be chatty or not talk at all. Plus, she tacked on a few extra minutes because I really needed it. Hoping to visit regularly! read more

I visited Abella with a Groupon I purchased for botox. Melanie was very rude and did not listen to me, instead just tried to sell me more botox. When I told her I was not interested in purchasing more, she said I had an attitude and told me to leave and get a refund on my Groupon. As you know, in order to advertise on Groupon, 1/2 of the purchase goes to Groupon. It is a way to get your name out. But, since I told her I was not spending more money she refused my Groupon and told me to leave. read more

I have always gotten 12 units of Botox in my crows feet for correction and it has always worked. Melody told me I need 10 to12 units on each side something I had never done. She insisted so I went forward. WELL I PAID FOR 18 UNITS ALL TOTAL IN MY CROWS FEET. The results were practically non existent - she's either diluting her botox, using old botox or down right lying about what she's injecting. IF YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF GO SEE MELODY! read more

This spa will likely be shut down soon. So many shady practices and unexplained rules. I walked out of my appointment. Like others have already mentioned previous to me, I wholeheartedly believe Melodie is either creating fake account for good reviews or getting her friends to post here. Bought a Groupon and drove down the 30 minutes for the appointment. Melodie did the exact same weird behavior mentioned in others reviews - pretended to have a bunch of other people working with her but it was really obvious she was a one man show. (i didnt mind waiting just thought it was a bit bizarre) Once I went back Melodie asked me if I had botox before. I had, several times. She then proceeded to tell me that she can only put the majority of the botox in one area because thats what her doctor only allows her to do, and also because she's been trained by Allergan and they tell her to do that. (Aren't ALL botox injectors trained by Allergan?) So in order for me to have the rest of my forehead done I will need to buy more product or it wont work. I asked why would they sell 15 units of botox in a groupon if they already know that its not going to be enough for one basic area? She responded that she only does what her doctor tells her to do. I ask to speak with this 'doctor' who is holding her hostage with all his rules so that I can consult with someone who has the ability to understand the procedure. She gets upset and tells me that doctor wont likely call me back and if Im not comfortable with her as an injector I should ask for a refund. Which is the most reasonable thing she said the entire visit. (still waiting to hear back from the 'doctor') read more

Worst Botox experience ever! Girl argued with me on where I wanted It. She double booked herself and Was very rude. She did not offer to purchase additional units when I asked even at regular price and now I have horrible scars where she did the Botox!! I developed huge cystic acne in the spot the next day. I have never had it before. It kept coming and now is scared! Also very bad results looked worse after! read more

Melody really provides first class service and expertise. I highly recommend her salon and wouldn't go anywhere else for fillers!

Another furious Groupon customer. My story is almost exactly the same as all the other people she's scammed. Was promised a refund but it's been in the mail for about two months. Don't be fooled, it is a total rip off operation. read more

Melody is absolutely wonderful!! She is super knowledgeable, personable and really down to earth! I trust her implicitly - nothing better than a cool, honest professional woman giving straight advice with years of experience and expertise behind her! Do not miss out on this fab salon read more

Let me just say Melodie is fantastic and so so sweet! She is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel so comfortable. The salon itself is beautiful and professional. I loved my results!! Well done Abella Salon! read more

I received a groupon as a gift. Apparently, groupon holders don't have the same status as 'regular' customers. When I called to make my appointment, I was informed that they sold too many and didn't have any availability before the groupon expired so I could either schedule the service and pay the difference, or use the value on another service. What a waste of time and money. I won't use their service now at all. I've lost all respect for them. read more

This review is long overdue. I have been seeing Melodie, Owner and Esthetician of Abella Spa and Salon, for 5 or so years, for various services: facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasions, IPLs (photo facials) and Botox injections (twice). She has a great business sense, & a soft, soothing, caring approach/voice. She is professional, friendly and just down-to-earth. She is never pushy with product or additional services. I typically provide Melodie with two to three availability slots and she and I agree upon a date and time. I have to say I am shocked at some of the Groupon reviews. I do know for a fact that it can be challenging with Botox. If you don't want to take her suggestion to spend the money and get the number of injections Melodie recommends, you likely won't be happy with your result, i.e., you will write a bad review. That sucks. It's a double edged sword because if you do pay for more injections...you leave her Botox chair unhappy - feeling that she "upsold" you and you STILL leave a negative review. Because you didn't get what YOU wanted. YOU are not the Botox expert. Melodie is trained and knowledgeable in her field...so if she says you need "X" number around your crows' feet, you do. No lie. I'll take time to share a few more thoughts. #1 - I am not one of Melodie's friends. Never have I seen Melodie outside of Abella Spa. #2 - She is not paying me or discounting my services in exchange for this review. If you buy a package (like 3 photofacials, for example), she will extend a discount for payment of all three upfront (did this on two occasions, one of which was my wedding-prep over 6 months' time). #3 - Do you have a Botox certification? No. So why would you NOT listen to Melodie's expertise and suggested injections?? Melodie has never once tried to push product or upsell me. It's not in her personality. #4 - If you've had Botox somewhere else and they let you call the shots and determine the number of injections, then why don't you become a loyal customer there? Stop trying to save money by buying Groupons! #5 - Melodie and all botox service people get all sorts of over-botoxed crazies coming to try to get more, more, more. Melodie will not inject Botox in those individuals. You know the ones? They jump from place to place - completely overdone because they are addicted? Melodie will not help them, she will refuse service...and if they get really persistent, she will find a referral who will take them. Now that, my friends, is INTEGRITY. Melodie won't take their money. So there you go. Melodie is not greedy or trying to make money off people. So if she says you need 10 injections in your forehead and 6 on each of your crows' feet, if you don't agree, just leave. Get your Groupon refunded. But don't leave a negative review. Karma, people. Yay for Melodie. I will always keep her on my radar for skin services. read more

Abella Spa and Melodie are a perfect 10!! She has created a space that is so warm and welcoming!! I had been going to the same woman for my skin care every month for 10 years when she retired . I used a few others, but didn't meet my criteria of good skin care. I was blessed to meet Melodie. Her professionalism, knowledge, work ethic, and caring about her customers is beyond any I have experienced!! For someone who is the " no one can please " type..to accuse Melodie of "watering" down her botox injections is not the type of person you would want to do any type of service for!! Her integrity, and honesty comes first in her business. I take offense in that accusation! In life there are people that are never happy...and unfortunately they use this platform to make them feel good, and powerful!! Thank you for taking me under your wing Melodie, and all your expert services you have given me these years, and those to come!! Treat yourself to Abella Spa.. read more

I return again and again as I am confident that I am going to get personalized, professional, treatments with results that last! Melody is amazing and listens to my desired results for moderate changes that I desire for a natural look. read more

Not only is she great at what she does but she is such a sweet sweet person! I've recommended several friends to Abella over the years and they're now regular customers as well. I can't sing her praises enough! I highly encourage you to give her a call. :) read more

It appears that there are her friends who write reviews and then actual customers, who appear to have her Groupon, myself included. I wrote a review under her Groupon giving a completely accurate account of what transpired with her. I am not a customer "who is never happy with anything". In fact I'm the exact opposite. I will pretty much roll with anything until I find out someone is purposely lying and causing drama. This is how it started with this spa and only went down hill. I, like other customers, tried to call to schedule and her voice mail was full, so I emailed only to be told that she was on vacation and wouldn't be booking until the week of the 17th of July. I returned her email immediately and said that was fine and asked what day and times were available. I never heard from her again. I then sent another email and she claimed that I never returned her email and she was now booked. I sent the email chain to her and what I got back was an 8:30 am appointment on the 17th. So she gives me the absolute worse appointment possible particularly since I was coming up from the Springs. I explained that and then she could make a 5pm appt. I showed up about 20 minutes early and had absolutely no problem waiting but again the weirdness came out. I was told that "someone would be out to bring me back to the room" and that "she was just finishing up and would be with me shortly". At that time I began to realize that it is just her and she goes between rooms. She decided to make me wait so that she could return phone calls. Again this would have been perfectly fine, so why would she not say that she needed to quickly return a phone call and then she would be right with me? Did she not think that I would notice that she was the receptionist? She brings me back and again, like others before me, she began the upsell. She wouldn't give too little botox because she didn't want to be blamed for not providing a good effect. So from this you can deduce that she would rather sell a customer too much, instead of having a happy customer. She asked if I had botox before or if it bothered me and I said that I was fine with the needles in my skin. It wasn't until after the first injection that I realized this was completely different than the other times I had botox, and one of those was a groupon. It was extremely painful, but there wasn't a numbing cream or even ice provided before hand. She claimed that the numbing cream requires 45 minutes (not really, but okay) and didn't want to make the customers wait that long. Not sure why she didn't provide ice then since I was there plenty early enough for that, but again, whatever. I knew that I was only getting my groupon if I paid for additional units and wouldn't be provided anything that a normal botox provider would give. After I was finished she didn't even provide ice to help with the swelling or pain and by that point I just wanted out. This morning I woke up and had large, red welts where botox was given and has gone down my face into my neck this evening. Those areas are warm and it appears that I was given a different product than botox or it was so watered down with something besides saline. Do not go here. Look at the reviewers and notice that they are put out when she receives a legitimate complaint, meaning that she is either writing the positive reviews or asking her friends to do this. She is supposedly under the supervision of Dr. Iannotti who actually has his office in Longmont. There are so many ridiculously fishy things going on I'm seriously surprised that it hasn't been shut down. Perhaps when I report him to the medical board things will change at this clinic. read more
