Shortly after walking through the door, things took a turn. I was given the intake form which I completed. Then I was told, I had to pay before my services were even started. The woman at the front told me she would "maybe be leaving early" because she had "stuff to do." She said you normally pay after but I would be paying before. Worst case scenario, I was racially profiled and made to pay early. Less worst case scenario, I was still treated differently than normal and as a first time guest. I wasn't offered any refreshments or anything. I stuck it out because my boyfriend put thought into it, but the experience was ruined before it even started for me. I hoped the massage would make up for it...it didn't. My door was left open which is weird considering I had no clothes on and the massage was just alright. Once completed, the masseuse left the room with my door open again for me to have to get up nearly naked to close it so I could get dressed. I turned on the lights to see the satin pillow topper that was removed once I turned from lying on my stomach to my back during the massage was on the floor. I'll include a picture of what I saw and was lying on. I quickly got dressed and made my way to the exit where a choir of employees started the "excuse me, excuse me!" chant as if I was running out without paying. If you're going to make me pay ahead of time, communicate that to others so I'm not accosted while trying to leave. All and all, I won't be coming back and I don't know how they have good reviews.

Previously, I'd come once or twice a month and have Max do my 90 mins massage and it was great - he got all the kinks out. But shortly after, some changes happened, Max and Ann are gone, and the massage techs they had didn't quite meet the expectations - basically and unfortunately sub par so I stopped supporting the business. Scrolling through yelp, I decided to check this place out since I'm in need of a massage without breaking the bank and just to see how it's going and noticed "new soothing spa" with the new management as advertised. I gave it a try and surprised!!! there's another Max on their payroll so I got him as my massage tech and yes he got the kinks out, very professional, quiet but efficient - much deserved massage long coming. And no he's a different Max I'm told lol. Hopefully no changes happening so I'll be doing the monthly massages again. Thanks for a great massage - very comfortable, name said it - soothing and peaceful since it's Tuesday noon time, clean and value for your money. Plus the appliance store next door wasn't blasting their music through the walls either so that's ++ in my book although some guy working at that store decided to half block my truck so I had a challenging time getting into it to be able to drive - affected my peaceful aura but that's a different review entirely lol..... Also, hot stones are complimentary with deep tissue massages!!

This is review is LONG over due ...I get so busy that I forget ,then I forgot the names of product or procedure I got done lol and that stops me ... I've been going to Amira for over a year now ,I found her on Groupon,in fact she was my first buy from there and I was nervous .. I suffer from deep pitted scars ,uneven skin tone (dark spots)dehydrated yet oily skin .i see her once a month 2 depending ,I get deep facials ,I'm under uv lights ,belly tightening and dermarolling ,my face is smoother ,lighter ,even color and my scars are NOT so deep they have soften up so much,my oily skin is way under control ,and it's fully hydrated,the deep peels are narly,you chap and peel so much you kind of look scary ,but once it peels away you have and see glowing fresh skin, at the end of each facial she puts some lip stuff on them that's magic ,I use all her products from Dermodality ,face wash ,toner ,vitamin A and C. I like that she's by appointment only ,your time is your time ,no rushing,it's small quite and relaxing ,also kid friendly if you have to take the lil ones ,they can watch tv and have a snack I trust my fave with no one but Amira !!! read more

I been struggling with my adult acne before i got here in the US then I decided to try look for a skin care, after 2days of searching I suddenly found this Simmer Down Day Spa and immediately called and booked the next day. Amira was so nice, friendly and so professional on her thing. I don't know exactly what kind of treatment i need because I only got short period of time here but she helped me understand what my face really needed. My 1st treatment was Mandelic Chemical peel and i was so amazed how very hands on Amira is and educating me on whats the products she put on my face. After 3days of treatment I can already see that my face is getting better. And the best thing was Amira gave samples of her products for you to try before you decided to purchase it or not. Its up to you. All in all experience are awesome. I highly recommend Amira for those struggling with cystic acne/adult acne. read more

I wish there were more stars on here that I could rate this establishment. I have had countless facials done at various locations and none even come close to the ones I have had done here at Simmer Down Day Spa. My first time here, Amira sat down and really took her time to get to know me and my skin. Amira wants to ensure that you and your skin have the best experience possible. After just the first facial, I had my daughters commenting on how beautiful and silky smooth my skin looked. My skin looks so amazing that even when I don't wear any makeup people stop me to ask what kind of foundation I am using because they love the coverage. They are always left flabbergasted when I tell them I'm not wearing any. Thank you Amira for having my skin look so flawless and for keeping me looking young! read more

Amira is so awesome !!!!!!!!! My skin felt like an alligator in the beginning. I had serious acne breakouts and scars to prove it. This is my third appointment and my skin looks awesome. I love that she takes her time, explains the process and benefits of each procedure. Her establishment is very clean and smells lovely. Her personality fits her outer appearance which is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that I found her. I am accustomed to wearing a full face of makeup five days a week. Ever since I've been under Amira's care for my skin I haven't been wearing makeup. I am so confident that I even go to work without makeup on. If I could give her 20 stars I would. She's worth trying. I am going to be a lifelong client !!!!!! read more

I had an Appointment with my mom at this spa and the entire time I was so relaxed. At first I thought using this one product on my face was helpful and right away I was informed that it was really drying out my face and I had no clue. I was told what every product does and the benefits of using them which was amazing! The French Peptide Oxy Treatment was absolute heaven. I have never heard of it before and the second I felt it my face felt so good! Afterward my face felt super soft, clean, and even looked bright and dewy. I also noticed my face felt really hydrated. I was so happy with my results and this was only my first appointment. I will definitely be back for my second one! read more

Amira is very knowledgeable and really likes to keep you informed on what she is doing with your skin! She recommends personalized solutions for your skin type and ethnicity. Which I thought was amazing! Different skin tones heal differently and she is well aware how to handle everyone. She's not pushy at all as far as products available for sale. In fact I got a few samples for free! And of course they were customized samples that fit my skins needs. I'll be back! read more
