The truth of the matter is that I am a freak for facials and facial products. I am obsessed. I have gone through the world searching out the fountain of youth, and it has worked because I look like I am about um 14 on an old day. So if you are still reading, probably just ladies, I have found perhaps the world's best facialist. Clover is hands-on, totally off-the-wall decadent, experienced, wonderful, kind and gifted. She is all sorts of talented. She just has "it", the "x" factor, that wonderful touch that makes you feel all amazing and J.Lo glowy after you leave. She really wanted me to relax and enjoy myself. She explained everything without upselling, and she was such a graceful and healing presence. She was the most requested facialist at Burke Williams before she started her own place. She is also always super booked, so make sure you get in early and often. You, too, can look like a six year old. She also doesn't leave you in the room with a mask. Oh no, she takes being in the room and healing massage to a different level: she uses healing stones on your feet, puts your hands in warm gloves and basically gives you a full body massage. Massage and facial = yes please!! I'll tell you how good she is: I walked in having a truly awful day, and I walked out knowing and feeling that everything is going to be alright. Now, that's a healing experience.

Awesome ambience!

Turns out, the specialist hadn't told me anything about how to care for or preserve my tan. Bella is the complete opposite. She's an absolute professional--efficient, fast, and thorough about explaining exactly what you need to do to make your tan last. She's also warm and personable, and makes the whole experience very comfortable. I'm so glad I went for the four-month summer membership. My skin has become more sensitive to the sun, so I'm pretty pale these days and had gotten away from wearing summer dresses and shorts.

The service was advertised as a one-hour facial, but the actual facial lasted only about 45 minutes. The final 15 minutes were spent on an extremely high-pressure sales pitch for skincare products. The girl repeatedly tried to sell me a $399 eye cream and used several tacky sales lines such as telling me that "all of my friends would be jealous." When I declined, she was very aggresive and began adding incentives, including face wash and what she described as a "coupon that's like gold." After I continued to say no, she brought out a box of the eye cream that had a small crinkle in one corner of the box and claimed she could discount it from $399 to $299 because of the damaged packaging. The crinkle was barely noticeable, and the whole interaction felt sleazy. Did anyone else get the damaged box line? Once it became clear that I wasn't going to purchase anything, she seemed frustrated. At checkout, she tried to say that I had additional services that I had never had. When I pointed out that I had only booked the promotional facial and had no additional services, she dropped it. I'm not sure what she was trying to do there. To be fair, the facial itself was decent, and I don't want to criticize the esthetician's technical skills. However, the aggressive sales tactics and attempted upselling overshadowed the experience. If I were the esthetician, I would be concerned about the impact this business model could have on her professional reputation & repeat customers. Based on this experience, I will not be returning.

I definitely will be back and highly recommend.

This was genuinely one of the worst massage experiences I have ever had…read more The woman who worked on me was literally holding and looking at her phone while massaging me with the fingers of ONE HAND. At one point I actually turned around to see what was going on, and she appeared to be watching or reading something on her phone while she was supposed to be giving me a massage. This did not feel like a professional massage in any sense. There were no intentional therapeutic strokes, no real pressure, and absolutely no sense of care or attention. It felt like random, light finger movements while her attention was somewhere else entirely. I finally had to confront her and ask what kind of massage she was even giving me. The entire experience was so unprofessional that it honestly made me question whether the person working on me was properly trained or licensed. I cannot verify her licensing status, so I am not claiming that she was unlicensed -- but based on the experience I received, I would absolutely want to know what her professional qualifications were. What made it even stranger was that after giving me what barely qualified as a massage, she still seemed to expect a tip. I left feeling 100% worse than when I walked in. The whole experience felt uncomfortable, careless, and deeply unpleasant. I wish I remembered her name, but unfortunately I don't. I'm sharing this because people pay for massage expecting a trained professional who is actually present and attentive -- not someone looking at their phone while absentmindedly touching them with one hand. For me, this is a 100% stay away. I would never return. I will say though I had a friend who had a different person that was excellent - but the consistency is not good enough and first HORRIBLE experience w a massage for me so it's a hard NO.
