Everything with my therapy was great. I have no complaints about Pamela and this establishment

Pamela is an amazing masseuse! She came to my house when I was pregnant with my daughter and it has to be one of the best massages I've ever received. Pamela is a true professional. She arrived on time, set up quickly and it was a great experience. I had never had anyone come to my house to give me a massage, but it was great. I like a deep massage and she definitely checks in periodically to see how you're feeling during the message. I was sorry to see Pamela leave Los Angeles but am happy she is thriving in another city. Her prices are competitive and she offers great packages! I highly recommend her! read more

My favorite. Welcoming staff lovely establishment and great ambiance. Ive brought my mom and aunt and am a member of the monthly spa club. I love it. read more

Pamela Pettway at Spa Lyfe is a con artist, unprofessional, and completely sadistic in the way she gives a massage. She will try to pressure you into buying additional packages, and even if you ask for a refund the same day and cancel your appointment she will refuse to refund you. She has a NO REFUND policy hidden in a FAQ page on her website so you can't see it. There is no sign posted at checkout. During the massage, she grated her thumb into the stop of my skull until I had to scream "OW!" to get her to stop. My head still hurts 5 days later. I also have pain in my shoulder from her shoddy techniques. She also kept pressing her thumb into my spine which was extremely uncomfortable and made me worried she would snap my spinal chord. She is rude and will bend you every which way without asking if it is comfortable. If you want to feel like you are getting a massage from a bull wrestling rodeo clown in an unfinished construction site come here. read more

This was my very first experience being waxed, ever. I had a Brazilian, done by the very sweet and completely professional, Candace. She made my experience very comfortable. Her process of explaining things as she was about to do them helped ease the anticipation and anxiety of it all. I'm a nervous chatter, and she totally rolled with it. I would give her, and my experience, 10 stars if I could! read more

I've called and left messages a few times to book an appointment with no response. I've emailed. I've contacted through Yelp. Still no response over the course of a week. Bit unprofessional don't you think?? read more

Had the Hydrafacial with Pamela. It was a terrific experience. I now have joined her Spa Club which is a great bargain at $54 a month. I have had the hot stone massage and the fit wrap. Great services . Parking and location a real plus read more

Don't know about weight loss, but people literally said I looked skinner after the fit wrap! Maybe because I lost so much sweat... It definitely did work for my chronic back pain though. Infrared therapy is legit, because my elderly dog used to get it for his arthritis. :) read more

Had a great experience with Candace doing my lashes! My first set I wore for a fashion show and they persevered through all the makeup and the removal that happened like three times the next day. After that show, they still hung on for another 5 weeks. By then, I had worn them ragged and I thought that the only option would be to get them removed. But Candace didn't give up. When she did my fill-in they looked brand spanking new and lasted for 2 months that time. I would definitely go back, loved the look and the entire atmosphere was really relaxing. Candace is also great to talk to and is quick yet completely skilled. Don't forget to tip her well ladies! She deserves it! read more

Excellent deep tissue massage !! Very nice facial. I'm very happy. My husband enjoyed his massage as well. The room was nice and clean. She has good smelling lotion and I did not leave feeling overly greasy. It took me a minute to figure out where her shop was in the building. It was surprisingly quiet considering the location. read more

SpaLyfe - Studio front - Day Spas Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

My first time ever getting lashes done and....wow what a difference! My sparse thin lashes became movie star fabulous!! I love it. SpaLyfe turned me into a glam lash addict. The customer service was also excellent. Candace did an amazing job. Pamela, the owner, even came in to greet me since it was my first time there. I'll be back for more lash treatments, massages and self-care! read more

I so want to support women-owned business, but SpaLyfe is one to avoid! This is a joke of a "spa" and Pamela Pettway is the rudest and most unprofessional character I have ever encountered in the industry. For starters, they don't answer the phone. EVER. So you'd better have no questions! And in order to schedule an appt. online (the ONLY way to schedule anything) you HAVE to give your credit card number. In spite of my better judgment, I scheduled appts. for 2 IPL photofacials. When I came for the first, Pamela barely looked at me across the counter to find me ineligible for this service and proceed to try to sell me a more expensive one. She called this "a consultation"... Do yourself a favor and avoid this scam. Beware of the NO REFUND, expiration of packages, and late/no show/cancellation policies. Think twice before pulling out your credit card to schedule an appt. online, and above all DON'T PREPAY!!!!! read more

I had a relaxing 30 minute massage! Very knowledgeable about body alignment, stretching, etc. Will definitely go back sometime!

The owner is amazing! I have had two different spa treatments with great outcomes. My skin looks AMAZING! People keep asking me if I tried a new make up. Actually, I quit using make up. My skin has a radiant glow. The lines around my lips are gone, and the area of my jaw line firm. I am very pleased at my outcome. Pamela is kind and caring lady! I highly recommend her to others! Thank you so much! Maria read more

Went for a massage through Groupon because I heard she does good deep pressure. As an athlete this is a must. PROS: -She delivered on deep pressure! Very effective stretches too. -She is a nice person and is responsive. CONS. -Spa experience is really lacking. Very distracting elements. I can tolerate Christian music (I am not religious myself) but she would sing intermittently. I feel like sing the whole time at a low tempo or dont sing at all. It was again, distracting. -Another problem with a fluid "flow" is that she would do a few strokes and then take like half a minute to get lotion. I realize the lotion is in a jar but there are other lotions you can get that pump and you can keep it close by. The constant "stop and go" pressure was again something that I noticed. -Issues with symmetry and consistency. You might spend a bit longer on one side if its more tight, but she would completely forget what she did to one side and would do something completely to the other. - The massage ended 15 minutes early. My boyfriend also tried the massage through Groupon (we are big massage people). And his was 10 minutes late. She left the room while he was changing and didn't return for a really long time. -Then she was upselling me while I was still on the table. Not a great time. Wait till I am clothed to tell me about the specials. I wouldn't say the massage was unprofessional, because everyone has their own culture and their own style which I enjoy. However, you have to keep to some massage conventions like a spa experience that is best suited for relaxation. ie, relaxing music & a fluid experience. If she addresses the major issues with flow, I might come back. Damn, I am bummed because I was looking for a new masseuse. I go regularly elsewhere and I will stick with them for now. read more

TERRIBLE customer service and unproffesional owner. I had bought a service yesterday ahead of time before I even got it done and wasn't told about their "refund policy" before buying so when I changed my mind because of their difficult scheduling and terrible reviews I just didn't even want to get a service done anymore so she tells me I can't get a refund. I didn't even get this service done I just payed an invoice so I found that weird so I was confused on why she couldn't just refund me. I went up there and I let her know that she did not let me know about her refund policy on the phone when she was talking about the service and her response was she didn't have to and how Kroger's doesn't either but funny thing is they actually have it listed where you are purchasing...She also stated that basically I have to look for it on her website under the frequently asked questions when I didn't even pay on the website which makes no sense it should've been posted with the invoice that was sent to my EMAIL and made clear, I wasn't directed to the website to pay but apparently I'm just supposed to know to go look through the frequently asked questions for the refund policy. Any PROFESSIONAL place wouldn't let this happen and if anything they would make an exception to make the customer happy but they LACK in customer service skills. read more

Pamela is awesome. She has her own style, which I have come to appreciate, and is very thoughtful. I have gone to her regularly for almost two years and I look forward to it every time. read more

I went to get a massage because my sister gave me the groupon special and thought it would be good since the reviews were so good, for the most part. I got there. It was hard to find because she is no longer in studio 3 and signs a minimal from the outside. I have to say that this is the most unusual professional massage I have ever received. I think if I laid on the floor of my room, put some Christian music on in the background, and had my husband rub my back in the same circular motion on my whole back, I could have saved my sister some money. First of all,because the space is just big enough for a massage table and some cabinets, I thought that perhaps the lack of professionalism in their display might reflect on the cleanliness so I kept my underclothing on. I suggest you do the same. The pics that they have on here is of the whole floor. Not the unit the Spalyfe occupies. I think it's best to spend a bit more and look elsewhere. Not professional. Not clean. Not relaxing. And HORRIBLE massage!!! read more

Scam alert!!!! I'm not sure which Instagram or YouTube school the staff at SpaLyfe attended, but it's obvious they lack professional training. read more

I made an appointment at SpaLyfe after buying the groupon, not really knowing what to expect. Although there were parts of the massage that were really wonderful, there were a quite a few parts that were painful and unpleasant (and yes, I was vocal about my discomfort). SpaLyfe may be better suited for individuals looking for an intense/athletic massage rather than individuals expecting a relaxing peaceful experience. I've had massages at many high-end spas, as well as from physical therapists, and none of these were exactly painful. read more

Pamela is the best massage therapist I have ever had. She is great for pre and post natal. My husband and I have had her work with us for years. I feel she is a healer - not just making you feel good for the moment, but working on actually getting solutions to your deep leftover tensions that need healing. No massage is the same as the next - she's really trying to address you on that day in that particular collection of tensions. She is so professional and disarming I also had her massage my mother when she was in town and that is no small feat to find someone she'd be comfortable. In short, Pamela is a gem. Run don't walk to make an appt. read more

Pamela has given me so many amazing massages over the years and I have also had her massage my mother and sister who were thrilled. The biggest complaint I've had about massages is that they are often not hard enough. Pamela has extremely strong yet gentle hands and that will make you feel amazing whether you prefer a deep or lighter massage. Highly recommended!!! read more

This woman just moved from LA and we are so lucky to get her. I've had massages for the last 10+ years and I'm very picky. I don't like to waste my time and money on wimpy massages. I'm an athlete with tough muscles that require strong hands and I've had the best massage of my life from this talented woman. She's very engaged, caring and professional with excellent massage technique. At the same time I can Zen out and relax during this session. I highly recommend her. She uses warm stones and finds those knots and tight joints and will work those calf muscles until they release. Very caring and has a deep interest in her work! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. The esthetician was late and apologized in a sarcastic manner. I had tried calling and emailing during my wait time. The lady next door told me they are always late. Her manager told me to leave if I was frustrated. I had bought a Groupon so I wanted to use it so I never had to go back. It was so bizarre. I went ahead with the treatment. Facial was average and not relaxing. She ended early. It was super brightly lit. She had to move a piece of equipment out of the room during the treatment. Terrible experience. read more

Don't know anyone who does it better than Pam! I Have always been into skincare and would always schedule facials around looking for the right esthetician. Once I found Pam I didn't look any further. Pam does the most amazing extractions and never fails to leave my face looking sparkly clean and hydrated. Love the amount of time she spends on my face and how much smaller my pores appear every time. Will be doing my fourth hydra- facial soon. read more

Pamela is the best!! She cares about her clients and is so talented. She gives a great deep tissue but can do whatever is needed. She is my fav masseuse ever, and I love my massages! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. Incredibly rude owner. My husband purchased a COUPLES spa package from Groupon. Called to schedule and was told, "we only schedule online. Bye." I looked online for the package and couldn't find it, so I called back. She said, "it's there, you're just not looking hard enough. It's called like mini spa day or something." She didn't even know the name of her own service. Showed up for our appointment (for which the owner was 10 minutes late) and she told us they don't offer a couples package; Groupon screwed up. So I said I'd called twice to ask how to schedule and she immediately snapped at me with, "woah, calm down. Just calm down. Do you want a good service today? Because the way you're acting you're not going that direction." We started to walk out and she slammed the door open while muttering, "good, I don't need your kind of business." We contacted Groupon for our money back. Would rate negative stars if I could. read more

Pamela was wonderful. I had some very bad acne a few months before my wedding and she helped me get rid of it with two salicylic acid peels, two Bio Elements facials, and several sessions under the Celluma LED light. By the time my wedding came around, my skin was looking great. Pamela was very invested in my skin and spent a ton of time on it. I was so, so happy with the results! read more

I originally found Spalyfe through Groupon and have become a regular customer. Pamela is an excellent massage therapist and esthetician. She's very talented and friendly. I would highly recommend her for massages and facials! She's amazing! read more

This woman was very unprofessional, not courteous and inconsiderate of my time and body. 45 minutes prior to the appointment she calls and cancels. She does not even offer me anything for the inconvenience. Spend your money with a professional. read more

I had the most amazing massage and facial with Pamela. She is very skilled, professional and intuitively gifted. Not only did she help soothe my back when I threw it out and gave me one of my best facials ever, she also gave me some spiritual advice that has truly changed the way I live my life. If she chooses to give you some advice I highly recommend you listen! Definitely 5 stars. You are a beautiful person Pamela, inside and out! Thank you for everything! read more

I will start by saying this is not the right place for you if you are looking for a gentle, quiet, relaxing, take a nap massage. But if you are looking to get tight muscle worked, she is your girl. read more

June 15,2017 - Groupon savings coupon for 2 - 40 minute foot massage treatments at Spa Lyfe located in the Salon Studio in Ann Arbor. What a frustrating experience. You can only schedule an appointment on line so if you are unable to access their site you are 100% out of luck. We had that experience, went over in person, met the owner and explained the situation. Sorry you must schedule on line - she would not do it for us and treated us like we were actually stupid to bother her with such matters. She did assure us however not to worry that as long as we could schedule on line before the expiration date the coupon would be honored and that she always answers her e-mails and phone messages so any problems we conveyed by leaving her messages must have been our fault. Ok we will try again. Same problems and a number of phone messages, e-mails etc. and like before no response. Coupon expires and guess what - Groupon won't give credit after 3 days if it expires. After more hassle we finally get a call but the person representing Spa Lyfe can't help, just go on line and schedule an appointment, she would not listen. Now we just don't care, the fun and anticipation is gone, after all who really wants to do business with a company that obviously does not care, besides think about what kind of service we would get after complaining so much anyhow. Well, we guess we will be out the money but the main reason for posting this is to warn others so they don't waste their money. jack and lynn read more

Awesome skin tightening treatments!! I had a package of 5 and my skin looks 10 years younger. I am extremely happy with the results! Thank you so much Pamela. Sharon C read more

Candace is the best. She's funny and a joy to talk to while she's working. Her attention to detail for waxing is fantastic.

Pamela is an amazing, gifted masseuse! She is a very positive person and so easy to talk to. She made a point to make sure I was relaxed and asked multiple times if I was comfortable with pressure, adjusting it each time to what I wanted. Because I have sensitive skin, Pamela made sure to talk me through what she was going to be using during the massage. She also plays great music! I left the massage feeling so relaxed and refreshed - I will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time receiving a facial and I couldn't have been more pleased. Pamela was very knowledgeable and understanding of my skin concerns. She took time to review the procedure, she talked me through every step and she also checked on me the next day to see how my skin was doing. I would definitely return again. My facial was a wonderful treat! read more

My review got deleted, so trying again. I bought a massage on Amazon local. I probably waited too long, but still had over 3 weeks left. Thought surely I could get a massage scheduled in 3 weeks - not. I asked for mornings and got a confirmation e-mail for 2:45 PM. Tuesday I asked for an earlier appointment. Friday I asked again and got a date and time of 5:30 PM. I said late afternoons and early evenings didn't work and listed more times I was free. She said great and asked me what time!? I asked for mornings. Again. This was the next Tuesday. Wednesday I got a confirmation for Thursday afternoon. ARGH. E-mailed again Wednesday saying I was still hoping for a morning/early afternoon time. 4 days later I got an e-mail saying "I'm afraid I don't". That is word for word. 13 days to get that response. She evidently has enough clients and isn't worried about getting more. read more

Customer service is terrible, I bought a local amazon coupon which was not honored. My appointments we canceled because of over-booking. She was paid but kept giving me the runaround that she couldn't provide a message because of she had no record of payment. I provided a receipt of payment, now she is telling me that I need to contact Amazon local, which I did and filed a complaint with the BBB. SCAM be aware read more

I have gone to dozens of massage therapists over the years, and Pamela is by far the best. She is customer oriented, passionate about her work and customizes the massage to your needs. read more
