    Our first interaction
    Jenna L.

    Given all of Mel's stellar reviews and the way I responded with understanding when she cancelled my appointment 3 different times on the day of, I really do not understand why she treated me so horribly - other than I was trying to book with a Groupon that my kids had bought me for Mother's Day. You can see from the texts that I was supportive of her needing to reschedule the first time because she was working on her finals for her landscape architect degree. I cheered her on. I thought it was great she was furthering her education and even asked about it later. The next time, she really didn't give a clear reason because she initially offered the time slot and then the day of said she needed more time than that appointment would allow, but again, I was fine with it and booked another time slot. It's now been ten days and the morning of my third appointment she texts me that she is in pain and needs to reschedule. She said it might be her gall bladder or she might be dying. She offered me some slots, including ones that were two weeks away. But I have a new job and a wedding coming up and wanted to make certain I have time to heal beforehand. I running out of time. At 9:26 am, she offered me the slot for the next day at noon. One minute later, I responded with "OK," and asked her how she knew she'd be better. I told her if she wasn't better tomorrow, that I'd understand and I'd ask for a refund from Groupon. I was not rude or aggressive. She has cancelled last minute 3 different times and I was still polite. You can see by the texts, that is when she became belligerent and started lying about the appointment. I immediately said ok to the appointment time and then tells me she took me off the calendar. She said I didn't confirm, but I had said ok one minute after she offered it. Mel was not apologetic in the least and it was apparent she didn't care about providing me any kind of customer service or consideration for her repeatedly cancelling at the last minute. I was so excited to get my eyeliner done again. And my kids were happy they got me a gift I liked so much. It is a shame that Mel seems to resent people wanting to use the Groupon that she offers because she said she loses money. Then why offer it? It's a marketing expense. Please don't be nasty because I pay you money for your services exactly as you advertised on Groupon. I wouldn't recommend her at all. She may do good work (or not, I never had the chance to find out for myself), but she seems to be a seriously vindictive person and lacks good customer service skills. In the end, not someone I want with a needle near my eye. I could only image how she'd react if she messed up the procedure. Just like the way she behaved with canceling on me, she probably would fail to take responsibility for that as well. Bad luck is what she said about her cancelling over and over. It's sad that she tainted my kid's Mother's Day gift, but I'll find someone else and re-write my experience to end on a good note.

    Mel is my favorite girl to go to for my peels and skin care needs! With my peel she always give me a deep hydrating mask plus she'll do some red light therapy on me as well ! She's always super friendly and knowledgeable on all of her products and always gives me helpful information on things I can do at home to help boost the treatments effectiveness. Her Shop is very cute and clean and I have never had a bad experience with her.

    Pretty set up and very peaceful

    I has a great experience at Mel's. She was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She explained and walked me through the whole bleaching process. I'm really glad I found her! I'll def be coming back.

    I had a great experience today! I definitely recommend trying this place out (:  #spa

It's a new year and I want to be good about my health and skin, inside and out. So I decided to try this place which I found on Yelp with good reviews, decent prices and only 5 minutes from my house. I made reservation for the Diamond Glow Facial 2 weeks before for Monday at 4 pm and requested Olga based off reviews. I received a reminder text the morning of and sent my confirmation text back. I arrived 15 minutes early and was greeted by Olga. She was extremely nice and told me what the Diamond Glow Facial included which was the microdermabrasion, light peel, facial massage, etc. all about 60 mins. Tip: Do not wear a necklace because they really massage your neck and chest. The massage was awesome. It was not half-assed at all!! She took her time, went into my shoulders, upper back and scalp. I've had a microdermabrasions before so I knew the process. The light peel...never done any peels before but Olga said no downtime and just to moisturize often. Didn't feel anything crazy at the time of the facial. So, we shall see. The whole experience was so relaxing and comfortable. I like that at the end that there were no sales pitch and no pushing me to buy any products. It was more of hope you enjoyed it and will come back for more. Which, I will. My face was smooth and glowing at the end. They have so many facial options for a good price.

This facial also stimulates collagen production and tones your face. It was a perfect pre-birthday treat for myself. Booking was easy on the website and all their services have a good description to determine what best fits your needs. I had to reschedule my initial appointment, and for that you need to call in. They send you a text reminder, and you must cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid a fee. One special thing to note is if you book a service that's at least an hour, you receive a complimentary foot soak as long if you arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. This was a nice touch. When I arrived, Cristina, from the front desk walked me to their quiet room, which has the ultimate relaxation vibes. She was amazing! She had my foot soak ready to go, along with a heated neck wrap and a blanket. On top of that, she made me a delicious vanilla chamomile tea, accompanied by a chocolate. A literal pampering angel. My facial was done by Chasity. She was also so nice and she gave me plenty of time to change and get comfortable in the spa bed. She listened to my skin concerns and tailored the products for my face. Throughout my appointment, she explained each step of the facial. At one point I was so relaxed, I fell asleep. Before I left, I signed up for their busy bee membership so I can make sure to keep up with my skincare goals. Thank you, Lemon and Honey Day Spa, your staff was amazing!

I decided to try their "deep cleansing acne facial" service, and I'm so glad I did because my skin started improving way sooner than I expected. If you're sensitive to pain during extractions, definitely ask for Nancy. She's super gentle, takes her time with every clogged pore, and makes the whole process feel way less intimidating. My best results showed up about three days after the facial. I didn't change my diet, skincare routine, or daily schedule at all. Yet the inflammation went down, the redness faded, and the breakout calmed dramatically. If you're dealing with breakouts or stubborn clogged pores, I seriously recommend trying this service at The Gardens Wellness Spa. It made a huge difference for me.

Unfortunately, this was the worst massage I've had here. The massage therapist used way too much pressure than was needed and was too aggressive. She also focused on techniques and areas I specifically mentioned I didn't want and did not focus on what I requested, which made the session uncomfortable. The head massage was also not what I expected. Instead of an actual massage, she mostly scratched my scalp the entire time. When she worked on my neck, the pressure was extremely intense and she squeezed so hard that it honestly made me feel worried something might get injured. Another issue was that when the massage oil dried up, very little was reapplied, so there was a lot of uncomfortable friction during parts of the massage. Unfortunately, I left feeling more sore and in more pain than before, which was really disappointing since I was hoping to feel relaxed and relieved afterward. * FYI - The massage therapist I had on 3/7/26 had black, kind of frizzy hair, and wore a light grey sweatshirt and sweatpants with black sandals.

    This place should really be called amazing head, face, neck, shoulder, arms, and legs spa!…read more I went with a friend and we had the most relaxing time. We wanted to pamper ourselves so we chose the 2 hour treatment and we got a really lovely experience! Jade did my service and she was amazing!!! Anna did the service for my friend and she got glowing reviews as well! We didn't know it, but they had a special promotion going on in November where they added on a bunch of free upgrades to the service. Not only did we get the full 2 hour treatment, they also did advanced face massage, as well as leg and feet massage. The place is small but so incredibly cozy. There's only 2 spots so we had a private and pampered experience. It's called a head spa, but it was truly more than that. We started off with a heated eye mask and scalp massage, followed by a face and neck massage, leg massage, and then a thorough double cleanse and conditioner. My hair felt so soft and revived after the treatment. And my face felt so smooth and glowy! Truly 2 hours of bliss. Once the massage and washing were over, we were treated to some cute snacks, followed my a thorough drying and even light styling of hair with Dyson hair dryers. Jade made sure to dry my low porosity hair thoroughly and even changed out some of the dryer heads to give me a little blow out! Then we were gifted a shampoo and conditioning treatment by the same company that they used to do the head spa. All in all, an amazing experience!

    I debated on leaving this review but I went to this place and compared to the reviews, I'm unsure…read moreif I came during a busy or off day. If I were a potential customer, I'd prefer to read all the reviews including the good, bad, and ugly to make an informative decision so this is based on my experience. For starters, we started roughly 15 minutes late and we booked the 2 hour course and even paid an extra $35 for a 15 minute add-on so in total, the course should have taken 2 hours and 15 minutes. Looking at when we ended, we ended right around the 2-hour mark. I asked for hard pressure and it was very soft so for those wanting a really deep massage or one that you can feel, I personally can't recommend this place. I've been to a different place where she went so hard, I felt it the next day and it was amazing. Here... I felt nothing but just a bunch of light touches. I also understand I have a lot of hair and know that it takes a while to blow dry. I left with damp hair and will have to finish up drying my hair at home. For a place that advertises making your hair soft and silky, my hair disagrees with that. So it was $189, $35 for the add-on - so $224. Was it worth the $224 and tip? Not really - I can name a different location I went to last week that was cheaper, applied better pressure with the massage, and fully dried my hair. Would I ultimately recommend this place? No. I live quite literally across the street and really wished this was a place I can be a regular at but I'd rather take the drive elsewhere. Were the ladies there nice? Yes. Was the tea they give you at the end delicious? Yes. Was the ambiance or vibe nice? Sure. But if you do go - please do not do any add-ons. You're essentially doing the same as tossing $35 into a fire pit.
