I went here on a Groupon for a 55 minute massage. The spa/salon itself was nice enough. The staff…read morewas pleasant and helped me immediately upon entering. I was taken to the back of the salon to change into a robe and slippers for my relaxing 55 minute escape. It all started out well. Problem is, the massage area is right next to the salon's shampoo area and the walls between the two areas are not sound proof. So for the entire duration of my "relaxing" massage, I heard clients and their stylists talking and laughing while rinsing dye out of their hair. On top of that, the employee fridge must also be in the back "spa" area because the door kept opening and closing and people were back there shuffling and crinkling wrappers and papers on and off throughout the massage. And I personally thought the lights in the spa area were turned up too high. A massage should take you away but it's hard to have that happen when lights are glaring down on you like you are being interrogated. The masseuse was a little too light in her touch even after I told her she could work deeper and she kept stubbornly trying to get out this one knot in my shoulder even after I told her she was hurting me and it was fine for her to move on. The entire time I was trying to figure out how much longer I had to lay there not being relaxed. When it was finally over, I asked the girl at the front desk if I could put my tip on a credit card. She told me only if I made a purchase so I started to look at some of their hair products and she told me that was a "separate" business so I could only purchase from the spa. Ok, so I'll purchase yet another uncomfortable massage so I can leave a tip for this unpleasant experience?? No, thanks. Overall, I can see why they felt the need to offer massage services through Groupon. People in town probably already know what the deal is there so they had to draw in outsiders for an unrelaxing but affordable "spa" experience.

My first experience here was over 5 years ago. I received a gift card while I was attending a…read morecollege nearby and had an excellent facial by Julie. I then went to other places near my house, some that were found on Groupon and other spas that cost nearly $120 for a hour long facial, and not one place compared to Spa J. There is something to be said about owners who do the work themselves. Julie is truly passionate about her work, never pushes to sell products, and really cares more about her client being satisfied than making money. I would recommend her to anyone; it will be worth your visit.

There are a ton of spas in Bergen County, but none that I would give five stars to other than…read moreSerene. Melissa is wonderful, and the entire experience at Serene is absolutely perfect, starting from the moment you walk in the door. Serene is an organic spa, which is NOT easy to find in Bergen County, although spas are a dime a dozen. Knowing that natural products are going to be put on your body was a huge selling point for me, and I could not be happier with my experiences at Serene. Entering Serene is like entering a really chic boho type boutique. There are items for sale ranging from skincare products, to bags, clothing and jewelry, most (if not all) made by women around the US, which I love. It truly is a peaceful way to begin the spa experience - or find a unique gift to pick up for someone. I've now gone twice for a facial, and both times have not booked a specific type of facial, I've asked Melissa for whatever she thinks will work best for my skin. She delivers beyond anything I could choose off the menu and is so knowledgeable about exactly what your skin needs to look the best it possibly can. Melissa explains what she's putting on your face at each step of the process, what the product itself is made of, and what it will help with in regards to your skin. Other than that, this is not a spa experience where you have someone who is constantly talking to you - Melissa works her magic and allows you to lay back and completely and totally relax. She is incredibly diligent with the extraction part of the facial as well, and even after my first facial with her, I noticed a huge difference in my skin that has now stuck over the months (it's even better following a second session, and I truly believe will just continue to improve). My facials have consisted of fruit peels (I believe a berry peel and then a grape peel at my most recent session), which smell delicious and WORK, though without the redness of a chemical peel that lasts for days following. The peels I have gotten are $85/session, and worth every single penny. There are other more basic facials as well that are a bit lower in price. Another thing I love about Serene is that there is no pushing of products on you - I always ask for recommendations on what I can buy to continue working on skin health, and Melissa is happy to make recommendations, but she also gives samples versus encouraging you to buy a full-sized product right off the bat. I did buy a softening chocolate mask that smells delicious (literally like chocolate) and works wonders ($20, and I've had it for 3 months at this point, with a ton stil left!). I will continue to frequent Serene because the experience is so peaceful, Melissa is so wonderful and personable, and I leave with a noticeable difference in my skin. Can't wait for my next session!
