Mineral pools and cold plunge
Kristen S.

I heard about the water journey from a friend and knew I had to experience it for myself, so when my friends asked what I wanted to do for my birthday, I knew this was something that we would all enjoy! I booked a private water journey event and we all cleared our schedules for the day. The water journey books 12+ weeks out, so be mindful of that if you plan on reserving the entire space for your group. We checked in at the desk and met the team that would be checking in on us during our event. They went over some safety information, explained the recommended outline for how to enjoy the water journey, and reminded us of their whisper policy. They shared our assigned locker numbers and led us to the changing area/locker room. Inside the lockers were a robe, a cup so we could keep hydrated with the lemon water they provided, no slip sandals, and a towel. We changed up, put our things in the lockers, showered, and headed into the water journey. I'm glad that we had booked a private event, I'm not sure I would have been very comfortable navigating this space for the first time with people I didn't know. Since we all started at the same time, the various pools and saunas felt a little crowded at times, but after we completed our first cycle, we split up and naturally gravitated back to the pools and saunas that we had enjoyed the most, making each space much less crowded for the remainder of the event. After two hours of enjoying hot mineral pools, cold plunges, saunas, and aromatherapy steam, we were all really relaxed and felt amazing. A staff member came by and passed out cold lemongrass scented facecloths, which was a wonderful touch and just what we needed. The locker/changing rooms have everything you need - including a hair dryer, Q-Tips, hair elastics, and mints. They even offer a small machine that can quickly air dry your wet bathing suit so you don't have to carry it home with you dripping inside your bag. We plan to book another private event sometime in the fall and I want to come check out the express water journey they offer in the evening to see if it's something I can build into my weekly wellness routine.

Hallway to paradise.

This is a treat to myself every 3 months. This is an oasis in the city. The staff is always pleasant and Sarah did a great job with my Crown to sole massage. That includes a massage with heat, stones and suction AND a facial. Absolutely wonderful! I used to go to Elana, but she is no longer there. Sarah was a great masseuse and look forward to my next appointment.

When the waves of life are crashing and beating me up, the spa is my life guard. It rescues me. When the ship that I'm steering is off course and chaotic, the spa is my sail and puts me back on course. When I'm lonely and looking for connection, the spa is a friend to me and reminds me to value myself. The spa has something for everyone. Thank you to all the workers who were kind, and approachable. The facility was very clean and the water journey was easy to understand and I immediately felt the therapeutic benefits.

Kind of a random location
Cathy Z.

Overall I had a good experience here but I'm going to nitpick a few things. Since Bodhi Spa is marketing and pricing themselves as basically an elite spa experience I feel like it's fair to hold them to a high standard. When I arrived for the water journey the small front lobby was pretty chaotic with about 8 people waiting to be seen. The woman at the front desk was working as hard as possible, but they have the previous water journey end and the next water journey start at the same time which means that there are a lot of people waiting to check out and check in all at the same time. I feel like they could do a staggered entry or leave more time in between to resolve this problem, especially since the space is not large. They provide towels, robes, and slip-on sandals but they are all kind of cheap-feeling. The towels are like a chamois you would clean your car with--I was glad I brought my own comfy towel from home. The infrared sauna did not seem to be working very well, it was not hot. All this would be fine if they weren't charging top dollar! Again, absolutely no qualms with the wonderful staff, but it feels like the spa is trying to cut corners a little bit. The water journey itself was very relaxing. 2 hours is about the perfect amount of time--personally I went through the prescribed journey once and then started to freestyle after that. My favorite spot was probably the aromatherapy steam room, truly a unique feature. I felt so calm and centered afterwards. I actually slept really poorly that night because my whole body was sore--they claim that it's releasing toxins. Nevertheless, it was nice to do it right before bed because I definitely went to sleep quickly. Overall, I liked the water journey but I wish it were either a little more luxurious or a little less expensive. It's $85 for two hours or $55 for one hour, and I feel like one hour would be a little rushed. I would do it again if I got another gift certificate or Groupon but I think it would be hard to swallow paying full price.

GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE…read more (Aka: GET A FACIAL @ Viriditas!!) I've been wishing to show & LOAD the love on to Laurie Neronha for being the skin wizard she is, for creating her burgeoning business Viriditas & for GROOMING the competent staff that have embodied her knowledge & are EMULATING her results focused practices. I started seeing Laurie YEARS ago & (in a nutshell) she changed my skin radically. As someone that has struggled w cystic acne, oily AND sensitive skin, hyper pigmentation, frequent breakouts & a skin that tends to clog & develop blackheads (not easy OR pretty) - this woman has helped to create a transformation that I never before thought possible before my time under her care. I TRUST LAURIE & I turn EVERYONE who mentions facials or skincare her way b/c she is a blend of MANY disciplines & doesn't discriminate against any particular approach - she just does what WORKS. So I love Laurie , but what happens when you can't personally SEE HER?!! You get guided by her expert staff to the esthetician who seems like the best fit for your desired focus/outcome of the session ( me = EXTRACTIONS!!) & get paired w a SKILLFUL, professional, PERSONALLY TRAINED, duplication of the method & mindset of the practitioner who you've ONLY trusted in the past. & so it was for me w Julie on Thursday. She was SO GOOD. & SO LIKE LAURIE. Seamless & well paced transitions throughout our 75 min facial, the vast variety of "what happens next", & ALSO (like Laurie) extracted the HECK out of my skin both w/o doing additional damage (as that biz is COMMON in the industry) NOR pain. Holy heaven. I'm so grateful for having being treated by an expert & receiving a high quality product as a BYPRODUCT of Laurie's approach w skin & her approach w business. Happy lifetime customer here. Thank you for doing such great work yourself Laurie, & for helping others to do great work b/c of your expertise. Thank you thank you thank you.

I had gone through a lot with my skin over my…read morewhole life, including a moment with lemon juice and no sunscreen while out in the sun...did it for multiple days too. Yeah I'm a sunscreen freak now! It's safe to say my skins been through hell. I never really got into skincare until about sometime right before I hit my 30's. I walked in for a consultation with Jill, who sadly is no longer with them. She was/is fantastic! I got a laser package and since that day I have had absolutely no regrets! While the laser treatments were great, Jill made it worth every penny. She was not only very supportive, but she was also like having that great friend you need when you lose faith in yourself. The laser treatments do a lot, but it also depends on who's behind it or wielding it hahaha. My skin and my mental health got better in the time that I met her and did the laser treatments. I did meet the doctor once as well there and while it was tough love, it was much needed. Having bad skin is definitely draining and it makes it hard to talk to people or feel worth anything sometimes. I know that's how I felt at least. Now I just have simple skincare with sunscreen as the only extra thing I wear everyday and I'm confident going out like that. My skins not 100% but after the extensive damage I've done to it that isn't surprising. I plan to get more laser work done when I can. I won't be going here for it and I can't speak on who is there now, but my experience was way better than I thought honestly. Especially with all gimmicks and things to try and make money out there.

No one closely looked at my face or scars when I came in for the consult. One person looked at my face without any type of magnifier, just across the desk from where i shelled out 2,400 bucks because I was told the treatment works for scars. I will post my complaint nand pictures to as many media outlets possible to save others from the same predicament and to tell how SkinMD remedies this if at all. I'm sure the Neogen Plasma works, but no one should be sold something that has no value to them. Finally, The procedure was painful. The gel used supposedly has anesthetic/ numbing properties, yet it was less than 10 seconds between applying it and hitting my skin with the treatment wand. Maybe because it was Friday at 5pm and the technician was in a hurry to get done for the week that the few seconds to let me numb up a bit were not spared? My eyelashes got singed along with some of my hairline, red raw skin spots resulted and remained raw for 4 weeks after treatment.. Evidently these areas were done "extra" ; around my scars and in random areas that seem more like errors in the procedure than purposeful. The raw skin I don't think healed better with the 100 dollar plus after treatment cream they insisted worked wonders. I hope to get a refund at the least. I will post what happens at my follow up.... .

However, I am now being ghosted by this company and am filing a dispute with my bank. I was so excited when I found Flipp salon. I thought they would definitely be able to give me the edgy haircut I've been looking for- a chin length shagged wolf cut. I submitted on online consult form and didn't hear back. A week later I called and left a message. After getting no response and waiting another week I emailed them on instagram and then *finally* got in touch. I had an in person consult with Kseniya and brought photos of what I was looking for, as well as photos of myself with my most favorite haircut. I came in for the appointment and was more definitive of what I was looking for-which was my previous haircut a chin length layered bob with an A line. I showed her pictures of the cut and color and...... promptly had my hair poorly dyed and hacked off nearly to the scalp. I had over a foot and a half of curly hair. After the first cut I realized Kseniya did not understand curly hair and I didn't know what to do. The first cut with my wet hair was at my cheekbone- Do I jump out of the chair with half a haircut? I should have. I don't understand the disconnect with the salon and their Instagram. I was looking for a chin length edgy modern bob for my curly hair. What I got is pretty darn near a buzz cut (she did, in fact, use clippers on the back) and the dye didn't even take at the nape of my neck. It's less than an inch long on the back and 4 inches in the front (when stretched- with the curls it is about 2-3 inches). It's so short in the back that my scalp is exposed and the cut in the front is uneven with the hair longer on the side with the part. It's the worst haircut I have ever had in my entire life and is going to take at least 6 months for it to grow to the length I was asking for. There is no "fixing" this. I am due a refund for this awful hack job and am flabbergasted by the lack of professionalism of this salon- literally ghosting an unhappy customer. Are we still in high school?

Upon walking into the office and meeting the staff, I immediately felt at ease, which speaks volumes considering how intimate the nature of this procedure is! The staff I've encountered so far are Karen and Lynn and they are responsible for my feeling of comfort here. Both are super kind and accommodating. Karen usually helps me with scheduling and she is a total gem. Lynn has been my technician and going to see her is like going to catch up with an old friend. She's highly skilled and overall amazing at what she does. Also I should note - laser hair removal is virtually painless (and oh-so-quick in terms of session time length!)!!! I would not want to see anyone else except Lynn for these procedures! In addition to laser hair removal, I also purchased a laser tattoo removal treatment package to touch up my current tattoo. While it isn't quite as painless as the laser hair removal, it's tolerable. The machines used for both hair and tattoo lasering have a cooling feature, and Lynn makes your safety and comfort her first priority. She is thorough and quick and fun! Because of Karen and Lynn and the wonderful experience they have created for me, I would highly recommend Skinsational to anyone considering laser hair and tattoo treatments.

At the appointment, I noticed that the tech did not outline the area to be covered. I told the tech I wanted to keep a "racing strip", which I had cut short but did not shave off. The tech told me not to open my legs!? So I sat with knees in bent position and the crease didn't get any laser. She started in a back and forth row pattern on the top left side but then did a brisk pulse down the labia. On the right ride, the tech (Lynn) did not do a "row" pattern and just lasered random spots. Then she hit my racing strip with two pulses and now I have two circular bald spots!!! I'm livid! She didn't pay attention to detail at all. The labia area and crease had zero effect at all. Probably because it was not done thoroughly. Do not go to Skinsational for laser hair removal treatment!
