Samantha B.

Even though the snow is coming down they remained open and willing to get the job done! My experience was very pleasant. It smelled great in there and looked really nice. Staff was very friendly and I would come again! I used a groupon for my brazilian this time and it was super worth it

Me post peel. Very happy.

I recently got a deep chemical peel and it was a wonderful experience. Not the healing part because that's never fun, but being at the spa and talking with Lina was wonderful. She knows her stuff! She checked on my progress and had me come back to help with the peeling. After my face completely healed I have to say this was the best chemical peel I've ever had! Very happy with the results and will be sure to go back. You can trust Lina with your skin. She's a pro!

If you have acne and want results, come here! Lina not only treated my skin but also taught me how to properly take care of it at home. I've been going here for a long time now, if you're unsatisfied by the prices then simply take your broke self somewhere else! Just don't be surprised if you get lower quality service and little to no results like I did. A lot of these bad reviews don't even tell a truthful or knowledgeable story so I would recommend finding out for yourself, there's a reason why skin essence has been in the business for over ten years while I've seen so many other spas in the area come and go.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this lovely so:) They are attentive, clean, knowledgeable and spend quality time with each person! If they seem busy regarding appts or a wait time it's because they are amazing and treat each client as if you are the most important :) I met Lena at the front and felt immediately confident in this spa :) My gal Monti was amazing both in experience & personality:) I feel lucky to have had her expertise for my face! I got a full nonsurgical facelift ( preventing those jAwls my momma passed down), this included microdermabrasion & chemical peel for the best full effect! Price is totally reasonable, in addition to teaching me how to properly take care of my skin, washing and aftercare. They offer so many great things, I am looking forward to going back soon! The ambience was calm and relaxing .

Ionic foot cleanse. Before the water turned brown!

Purchased a groupon for a wax and it was a cool experience. However, at the end, they were pushy about a product purchase.

It's become a part of my birthday celebration because I've been on my birthday the past 3 years. You already have a locker with your name on it when you visit. They made me feel extra special with little happy birthday wishes in different places. I don't use the same person for my massages but everyone that I've had has been wonderful. My favorite part of this spa is The Quiet Room. You go in before and after your massage and it is so relaxing. A great place to decompress and just chill. Don't forget your mimosa before you go in This is definitely a place you should visit in N. Hills. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel so special and celebrated for my birthday. Thoughtful birthday notes were waiting for me on my locker and with my selected beverage in the quiet room. It was such a lovely and personal touch. The true highlight, though, was my Lift & Firm Facial with Ann. Hands down the best facial I've had in many years! Ann was phenomenal--she had the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness. She explained each step of the process without interrupting the calming atmosphere and used just the right amount of pressure during the face and shoulder massage portion (which was divine!). She took care to ask about any sensitivities and truly customized the experience to my needs. By the end of my service, I felt completely relaxed, rejuvenated, and honestly, I didn't want to leave the room--I could've taken a nap right there! My skin feels amazing and my stress just melted away. The entire experience, from the serene ambiance to the personalized service, was the perfect treat. I will absolutely be coming back, and Ann will be my go-to from now on. If you're looking for a place to unwind and feel genuinely pampered, try Woodhouse.

When I entered the front desk employees were super friendly and got me all checked in. As others have mentioned I really appreciated the calm and relaxing vibe. You can tell they really put a lot of thought into their interior design. Not something you always see! The only thing I wasn't expecting was the massage room I'd basically one huge room with different cabana esq tents set up for each client. Since you don't have your own room your masseuse has to really whisper and you can hear when other clients next to you are arriving or departing. It wasn't bad, just different. They do have wave music playing to try and drown out any noise. My massage was great and my masseuse did a wonderful job. The prices were reasonable and I could see the membership being a solid deal if you wanted to visit monthly.

Late last night, after the business had already closed, I sent an email asking if I could reschedule my appointment due to the severe and unforeseen weather conditions. Typically, the company confirms appointments, but I did not receive my call yesterday. When they opened at 9 AM this morning, I called directly and spoke with the owner. I explained my concern about traveling during the severe weather threat and asked if I could reschedule. I was told that because "it was not storming right now [at that exact moment], I would not be allowed to reschedule. Despite widespread warnings, school closures, and public safety recommendations due to the weather, I was told my only option was to still come to the appointment. I also asked what would happen if something occurred during the service, such as a power outage due to the storm. The response I received was that they would "cross that bridge when they get to it." Due to this experience and the lack of flexibility during a serious weather event, I will be canceling my membership today.

Not only is…read moreshe warm, welcoming, and incredibly kind, but she also brings a level of knowledge and professionalism that sets her apart. From the very first appointment, she took the time to understand my skin and its needs, recommending treatments and products that have genuinely made a HUGE difference in my skin. She has an amazing eye for what your skin needs based on your goals. She also has a long-term approach to skincare, which I LOVE, and I've never once felt pushed toward unnecessary treatments--which is one of my biggest pet peeves! I feel confident and cared for every time I walk out of her treatment room, and truly enjoy our conversations during our sessions. If you're looking for someone who is not only kind but also deeply knowledgeable and results-driven, I cannot recommend Kelly enough!

I had been receiving Botox from this location in Cary for about 1.6 years. I was a steady customer. I spent a great deal of money. I became hospitalized for 4 months as a client over 65. During the last year, I had to cancel several days before on just 3 occasions, and on one occasion, the day before, rushed by ambulance to WakeMed. EVERY time I called as a professional courtesy, the most recent, one of the untrained young girls literally said to me, "hold and I'll see if we can cancel you!" I replied "excuse me? What does that even MEAN? I'm in the ER! Should I contact my attorney?" I was punctual as always to my last appointment. As I went to make my next appointment, happily saying "I thought I was over the critical time where I could die".. INSTEAD of CONCERN, empathy or acknowledgment, either the first untrained employee or another untrained employee NOT ONLY demanded $50 upfront "in case I cancelled my next appointment"!, but NONE of the staff employees offered ZERO concern or acknowledgment!!! I was flabbergasted! As a Duke University Chemistry professor and neurologist on sabbatical, I asked "are you familiar with the American with Disabilities laws? Are you familiar with the empirical fact that I've NEVER been a 'no show"?.. that even in the ER I was professional enough to call?" I stated "I won't be back." In addition, my pattern as an established client is once a month with a $140 budget. On EVERY OCCASION Stacie would make me EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE and would purposely attempt to elicit more money by stating- with a very over concerned coercion, "You know.. because you get such low amounts that this won't hold unless you purchase X amount of units!" As I have been receiving Botox for a staggering 35 YEARS, I was aware of this fact and had to repeat again, and again and again, "I'm so sorry to disappoint you-as I'm disabled until I heal, this is the most I can do every month!" This is the ONE thing I do for myself. It should be a day/event of peace and joy. Instead, I left each session sad, embarrassed and purposefully insulted and demeaned. In addition, Stacie informed me "she couldn't inject me anymore as she was now only going to work on 'top-tier' customers!!" I wouldn't send my enemy to this place! It's hilarious to see uneducated, unattractive front reception employees try to pose as authoritarian figures to an MD, who was temporarily quite disabled in recovery.

I appreciate that she asks how firm or soft you'd like your muscles rubbed. Now if you tell her that you want deep tissue, look out because that is what you'll get!

I didn't love that they required a credit card on file for their cancellation policy, yet the day before my appointment--after I had already confirmed--they texted to say my therapist needed to leave early and asked to reschedule. I was really looking forward to the appointment, so I agreed to take an earlier slot, which meant leaving work early. It felt unfair that I was the one inconvenienced, when they'd charge me if the situation were reversed. The massage itself was just okay. The therapist was friendly, but my "hour" massage only lasted 45 minutes, even though I had arrived early to complete paperwork and get settled. For the prices this place charges, that's simply unacceptable. I won't be returning.
