For Christmas, I gifted my 40 year old daughter a mother/daughter spa day. We are locals, but we…read morewanted to feel like we escaped for a day of pampering among beautiful grounds. We came a couple hours early for out 12:00 noon appointment, We were met by Marissa Edwards, an angel in our eyes. She made us feel like we were the only guest she's ever had. She, and her staff accommodated our every need and even some we didn't even know we needed! We had a "couples" massage by 2 fantastic masseuses, I thought I had signed up for 80 minute massages, but it turned out to be 50 minutes, when I selected a couples massage, they only do the 50 minutes, I missed that! We were still very satisfied. After the massages, we headed to the pool for lunch. Marissa had made sure we had extra care and the pool staff was amazing, food was good. The real reason I wanted to write a strong review is because Marissa Edwards went over-the-top in customer services with us. There are many other experiences we had, mostly with Marissa's doing. My daughter and I are keen on customer service, she exceeded every expectation, which is a rarity these days. Thank you Marissa for making a beautiful day so magical for my "girl" and me.

Decided to try this place out for my husband's birthday. It was a little tricky finding this place,…read morebut the hotel concierge was very helpful and provided us a map, so thankfully we weren't too late for our appointment. Please note that valet/self parking is complimentary! Hold onto your stub and provide at checkout and they will comp you. Aside from our massages, we only took advantage of the locker rooms and their amenities, so my review will be based on that. We each opted for a 80-min Free Flowing Massage and requested female masseuses. My masseuse, Sherry, was great! She focuses on neck, shoulder, and back which are always my target areas, but also does full body with scalp massage; exactly everything I look for in my massages. Her pressure was great and I felt her really working out all my knots. The room was clean, the music was calming, and the table was comfortable. As an FYI, they use CBD products which was perfect for me, but something to consider if it's not for you, however I'm sure they can substitute if CBD isn't for you. My husband stated he also enjoyed his massage. The locker rooms compromised of a restroom/changing rooms, lockers, eucalyptus steam room, showers, and a saltwater whirlpool. After my massage, I sat in the eucalyptus steam room for a bit before dipping my feet in the saltwater whirlpool; both were nice and relaxing. I rinsed off in the shower which were equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The lockers have a small area to get dressed with a vanity that had some toiletries, if needed. Everything was clean and it was fairly empty, which made the experience more luxurious. Overall, both my husband and I enjoyed this place and wouldn't mind coming back.

The front desk staff is also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this location. The only downside I can think of isn't really their fault, mall parking.

I had a facial here with Jesyca before and she was so an amazing aesthetician. Leanne has a gentle hand with extractions, but she is precise and her attention to detail is so appreciated. You only have one face and if you want to take care of it seek her out. The relaxing music, comfortable warmed up bed, a nice massage, and a clean plump face made me so very happy. Overall it was a lovely experience and such a treat to meet such a skilled practitioner like Leanne. Will be back for a facial in a few weeks!

This is a mixed review, and I'll take some responsibility as well…read more I went in for the promotional laser facial -- it was my very first facial. My skin was already clean and glowing because I had done my skincare routine that morning. The staff was nice, and the treatment itself was quick. At the end, they applied a serum and sunscreen and told me, "That's how your skin should look." However, my skin looked the same as it did before they had me cleanse my face. They explained that results usually appear after a certain number of sessions, and based on that, I signed up for the $250 membership. A few hours after I got home, my skin became very sensitive and irritated, almost like a sunburn. I initially ignored it, thinking it was normal. However, the following days were worse -- my skin was still painful and sensitive to anything I applied, even lotion. Because of this, I emailed them the next day to request canceling the membership. I explained everything, mentioned it was my first facial, and asked if they could be flexible since I hadn't used any membership perks or booked a second appointment. Unfortunately, they declined my request. While they did express concern about my skin, the main issue remained unresolved. This is an expensive membership, and it's also a bit of a drive for me. I was willing to commit the time and effort, but after experiencing pain and not being able to cancel right away, it just didn't feel right. Overall, not the best experience. I would recommend not feeling pressured to sign up for a membership on your first visit. Take your time, see how your skin reacts, and make sure it's something you truly want to commit to. My advice get the facial if you want go home and wait to see the reaction . Don't sign up right away don't let them pressure you or look down on you.

Our consult was incredibly in depth and they were able to get me on the schedule within 2 months. The surgical team took great care of me day of and provided fantastic follow up care. The medical assistants at the office were my daily point of contact ensuring that Dr. Brown and his team were reviewing my pictures and that my healing was moving along as expected. Every day I get to wake up in a body that feels like home because I trusted Dr. Brown and his team. I cannot recommend them enough.

After getting fed up with other people's comments about my body, I decided to do elective surgery…read morefor gynecomastia (man boobies). I called around and got a few consultations, but the sales lady at Dr. Brown's office really got me. She sold me on the fact that Dr. Brown was a specialist in gyno and would be my best option. She also sold me on Dr. Brown being "so good" that he didn't need to leave tubes in me after the surgery. This is why it was botched. Other surgeons would have used drainage tubes which would have prevented this. The surgery ended up getting botched and my left nipple looks worse than before. A staph infection built up and eventually exploded outwards, ruining my nipple forever. The good: -Dr. Brown was a decently nice guy and most of his staff was cool. -When my nipple burst, they patched me up for free and quickly. -They offered to try and fix it at their cost. The bad: -They definitely could have acted quicker when the infection became obvious. They started by prescribing me the wrong antibiotics which allowed the infection to swell even more. -They tried to blame the infection on me, suggesting that I did not follow recovery guidelines after a couple of comments I made (this is bull, they were covering for themselves). -Dr. Brown kept gas lighting me on the follow up visits saying "wow, everything looks so good" and ignoring my displeasure at the results. -The NP dropped my valium on the HOSPITAL FLOOR and then MADE ME TAKE IT. Lady, for $9,000 get me another valium! Disgusting. -The emergency hotline for weekends is BS. After my nipple burst, I waited for 6 hours for a call back. Leaking puss and blood the entire time. -Dr. Brown did not shave the surgery site. I'm no surgeon, but I'm pretty sure you are suppose to do that. I'm a hairy guy. HOW WAS HE SUPPOSE TO SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING? I was shocked when I woke up and saw all of my hair was still there. Overall, I deeply regret choosing Dr. Brown as my surgeon. I should have gone with the guy who was gonna use the tubes and not listened to the sales lady. I feel just as self conscious about my body, if not more, than before. $9,000 wasted and I don't think it can be fixed.

I was flexible though and went for another stylist and later time. I really regret that now as I am really unhappy with my cut and style. Pam was my stylist and she didn't talk much about my hair. She didn't ask me how I wanted it styled at the end, and did not give me the cut I asked for. The communication was very poor and because of that I was left with not what I wanted and unhappy with the results. I understand things come up, but I feel I was a little pressured into last minute changing the time and stylist. I never have a negative experience here and my mother and I have been coming here for decades. I am just not happy with the cut or service. I tried talking more about my hair so we could get on the same page, and I am use to the stylist giving tips or asking more about my hair. We talked about short layers framing my face that stick out of the pony tail as well which is what I asked for, but that wasn't done either. I feel bad saying any of this as I have literally never been unhappy with my cut from any stylist at this salon. Im normally very relaxed as well, more attention is usually given to the shampoo and condition and maybe I am remembering incorrectly but a short scalp massage or something is given as well.
