First and foremost I want to say that the part that I enjoyed the most was the friendly staff. Scheduling a group that started out as 4 and ended up being 3 with various treatments was a breeze. This was super considering I had experienced trouble and blatant rudeness from other larger spas in the Raleigh area. Every time we called for last minute details we were met with excellent and accommodating demeanors.
I had booked this trip as part of my girls wknd out before Im a mommy trip lol.
I myself received a prenatal massage, facial, pedi and mani.
My friends received hot stone massage facials, pedi/manis, Brazilian wax
Pros: Easy to find, reasonably priced,
GREAT STAFF they laughed and indulged us with their own personal tidbits while we gossiped about everything from celebrities to joking on one another, it felt like they were part of the group lol ,
Personal attention, even though we came as a group, our individual needs were addressed.
They have own parking in the back of house.
Robyn bought some delicious cookies muffins and teas! ( Feeding pregnant women will take you far!)
Robyn is personable yet extremely professional! There was a moment where my friend and I were discussing whether or not I had booked specifically a hot stone for her ( I couldn't remember if I had with simple bliss bc I had spoken to so many spas) There was a price difference that my friend was unaware of after she had already received her massage. I was super impressed with how Robyn kindly reminded me without making it awkward or becoming belligerent that I had in fact booked the hot stone.
The results of my facial from Nadia were great!
I loved the selection of colors and the products used during my mani/pedi.
OOOOOgoooodddd...... the pregnancy pillows alone are worth the money.... the gift of laying on my stomach is irreplaceable. I enjoyed my massage. Robyn's touch was firm enough to provide some back pain relief but light enough to not concern me that she may have hit a pressure point or something lol ( not trying to go into labor)
My friend had her hot stone with Jeff and came out looking like she had took part in something illegal lol! She raved about it for hours.
Cons:
Facial: 2 outta 3 of us had a minor rx to some product used during facial. My face had some light scabbing, and my friend's flaked badly. Maybe we have sensitive skin....idk maybe product was on the stronger side.
Relaxation time: I didn't speak up about it and I know about the woes of accommodating a group at a spa but I would've love to spend some more time just to lay on the chaise and chill for a bit more. I wish there was more than one chaise lol.
Mani/Pedi: Forgive me I can't recall her name either Stephanie or Lauren was the sweetest ever. I got the feeling she was kind of new either to the business or mani pedi servicing. She definitely took her time and was gentle and I do believe she will greatly improve with some more time. However I am used to very thorough ( callus removal, buffing and shining nails, etc) mani and pedis and was looking forward to that and was in DESPERATE NEED! ( I automatically thought that getting these services at a spa as opposed to a nail salon, that it would be something serious lol) So the pedicure was very basic but then again I am a pedi snob. read more
