My wife and I had our routine Age Defying facial today. Honestly, men should incorporate professional skincare into their maintenance as we are living longer and need to care for our skin early. Another plus today was removal of a cherry angioma which I have had on my neck for at about 18 years. Pampering is not only for women anymore.

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!

So grateful to have this gem of a spa and Chasity's magic back in my life.

They bleed because they have too much pigment and are super wrinkly making them look old I now miss my colorless natural lips. This has been so horrible for my mental health.

I will be posting my follow up results because I was also told they would lighten up I was told they would blend over time none of that has happened and they continue to look worse overtime and my symptoms of my lips cracking and bleeding, which has never happened to me before this procedure continues to happen making my life miserable every day.

Sad. But here's the truth .

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.

    My husband and I have been here many times before and have usually had good experiences, which is…read morewhy this visit was so disappointing. 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. We were in room 1 and I was the one lying closest to the door. *

The masseur, Helen, had wonderfully strong hands and the hour was a needed gift to my body and back and neck. The addition of hot rocks was amazing! I thought she would leave rocks passively but she slid them over the spots I with large muscles and it felt amazing! My husband like his massage so much he fell asleep haha. The two women were quiet and super skilled. Room was lovely and appropriately dark and relaxing. Music was relaxing ambient vibe. All in all would totally recommend this place for your own sake or for sharing with others. For the price it was 1000% worth it!

    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.
