Being a parent means you neglect your body wellness longer than you really should. I knew very…read morewell that my husband and I were long overdue for a couples massage, and couldn't think of a better place to have a memorable experience than at the infamous Sagamore Resort, at their Opal Spa. My husband's family has only ever spoken about the Sagamore and we would be the very first to venture and visit! Excitement all around! We booked for a 1:30PM appointment, clearly stating each of our needs (my throbbing shoulders and my husband's plantar issues) prior to our visit. It was $180 per person, and knew the splurge would be well worth it! Upon entering the Sagamore, parking is free if you are visiting the spa, so we opted to valet for convenience. We were greeted at the counter warmly by the staff, and we were taken into the women and mens lounges to enjoy the complementary sauna and steam rooms prior to our service, if we wanted, or to enjoy after (which was what we did). I decided to hang our in the lounge since I had only a few minutes to my massage, and enjoyed my plush white robe, and had some cucumber water and some dried fruit to nibble on so my stomach wouldn't growl during the massage. We had Hendrick and Michael as our therapists, and within 5 minutes of my massage, Hendrick cracked my back to re-align it! My husband and I laughed and I sunk deeper into the massage table. Beautifully serene atmosphere and great attention to detail from beginning to end. My shoulder pain - GONE; my husband's plantar pain - GONE. This massage didn't hurt like so many I'd experienced over the years. This massage was skilled, and filled with intent to apply the right pressure for deep tissue without the unnecessary pain to follow. To top the experience with the cherry, when we left, we got to see the Mohican steamboat toot a salute to the Sagamore. It was amazing to see the steamboat from the Sagamore versus being on the Mohican. I hope I established a new spa tradition for my husband and I!

First let me start by saying my aromatherapy massage was awful. the massage itself consisted of…read moredifferent oils being placed on your body. massage didn't exist. Then I was supposed to have a hot oil treatment which was never done. At the end I told the front desk and they said they had no time to do it but I can sit in the salt room. The smell was so bad I had to leave. I asked the woman who worked there why such an awful smell. I asked if it was from the salt and she said the smell was coming from something else but never said what. Last but not least at the end of the treatments they told you what products they used on you and if you want to purchase. I purchased face cream, face scrub and face wash. The face scrub never made it in my bag. I called and they said they checked the security camera and it shows it made it in someone's bag but certainly not mine. I spent $900.00 dollars between myself and grandaughter and for $58.00 they made it seem like I wanted the face scrub for free. Poor management on Nicole's side. Never again Mr. Gay who is the senior Management should look into this. Keep your cream but I will not be going back again. We were a party of 12.

Located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York, the Roosevelt Baths have been a sanctuary for…read morehealing and rejuvenation for years. The Experience: As soon as I checked in, I was asked to choose an aromatherapy option for my bath. After changing, I waited in a calm relaxation room with tea and snacks until my name was called. The atmosphere was peaceful, setting the tone for the experience. The bath itself was deeply relaxing. One thing that surprised me was how deep the tub was--I wasn't expecting that. I remember wondering if the minerals would make the bath feel different, like maybe there would be some tingling, but it felt like a regular bath. The ambiance of the bathhouse was serene, with soothing music and dim lighting that really enhanced the relaxation. I've even shared my experience on YouTube, you can check out my full experience and get a feel for the vibes here: https://youtu.be/rZRi-EZA5zw It was interesting to learn that, back in the day, a bath here cost just $1.25, whereas now it's around $64. It's a bit expensive for a bath, so I'd say it's great for a one-time experience. However, I think the staff could do a better job of educating customers about the benefits of the mineral water--what it does and why it works--so we can actually understand the impact it has. It would be even better if they shared testimonials from long-term clients about how it's improved their lives. Pro Tips: 1. Enter the park through the Avenue of the Pines to avoid the $10 parking fee. 2. Check out the nearby creek--it's a gorgeous spot! Last time I visited, I set up a surprise picnic for our anniversary there. You can ask the staff at the front desk about it. For me, it's exciting to know the history behind Roosevelt Baths and to experience something that people in the past believed would heal their bodies and that once provided a natural luxury experience to everyday New Yorkers.

Our attendant was really nice and told us the fascinating history. The steam room was a little small. The changing room provided lockers, robes, towels and slippers. You have your own room for mineral bath with massage table and bathroom. The bath was relaxing. The massage therapist was fine but her bedside manner was rather robotic. It felt like she was phoning it in. So just a little disappointed in that area. Otherwise it was nice to visit. I'm undecided if I would go back next time in town. Update: I woke up to sore shoulders so a little sad that my shoulders went from fine to owwww... :(

Crystal stressed that each facial is customized to the customer's needs. For every step we took in the process, she made sure to explain the ingredients and what it'll do to my face. Not only was it a great facial, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure that you're taking care of your skin properly. She was kindly shared tips on nutrition, skincare routine and what products to avoid, to use, etc. I'm new to the area and she also was quick to recommend restaurants, things to do, etc. Overall, she's just an enjoyable person to be around and chat with. After I left, I immediately told all of my girlfriends this is THE place to go for a facial in Saratoga as none of them have found places that they like here. This is also at a great location right off of Broadway. The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful. The entire set up was thoroughly cleaned and smelled of lavender (my fave).

I wish I had taken a picture of the glow I had walking out of her establishment. FACES has such a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The location is tucked right around the corner from the main strip. But don't be weary, the seclusion is like a well kept secret. Sort of an invite only establishment, lol!! Everything about FACES from the moment I walked in made me feel comfortable that my skin was in good hands. Lastly, during my appointment from consultation to treatment, each step felt effortless. I didn't realize how much time had passed and was almost disappointed that I had to leave! Thank you Crystal and see you soon!! -Kim

I couldn't believe it. I finally found a stylist who would take the time to do what I wanted. Danielle is very knowledgeable in her profession. And she knows how to mix color to get the color her clients want. I am so pleased with the cut, color and style that she did. Oh and she's great with the shampoo job she does. I was falling asleep while she washed my hair. She never splashed water in my face or anything. And the scalp massage was wonderful. I already have my next appointment scheduled. Thank you Danielle.
