My first experience at Woodhouse Spa in Buffalo hit it out of the park! For Christmas, I treated my…read moremom and myself to 50-minute massages and it was such a perfect way to relax and spend time together especially because I had been wanting to try this spa forever, but it was always fully booked. I jumped on it early in December and snagged us appointments for January 3rd. Turns out, it was worth the wait! My massage therapist, Janine, was wonderful and my mom only spoke positively about her massage therapist, Hannah. I always know a massage is good when I fall asleep... and sure enough, I drifted off for a little spa nap. Mission accomplished! I also loved the quiet room and the showers afterward, which really extended the whole relaxation experience. While I've been to spas across the country with much more extravagant amenities, Woodhouse is a fantastic option for Buffalo. I felt it was very clean, calm, and exactly what you want from a quality day spa. My mom and I both left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and very happy we finally made it happen! I'm sure we'll be back next time I am in town!

The atmosphere of the spa itself made the whole visit feel special, from the calming environment to the attentive staff. It is a bit on the expensive side, but honestly worth it for the quality of the service and the overall experience.

I have been going to Marie for about 3 years now. I trust her with my skin care needs…read more As a woman of color I have to be careful with who I see for my skin care as many estheticians simply don't know how to handle my skin. In fact the prior Medispa I tried for laser hair removal did not take into account my complexion and as a result I had very bad hyperpigmentation. The first time I had a skin care consultation with Marie, we discussed my goals which at that time were about evening out my skin tone. After the first treament I saw significant improvement and since then she has introduced me to other services that have helped including: Jet Clear Microdermabrasion, Rezonorate & Dermaplaning. What is really special about Marie is that she will never advise you to do something that is truly not needed. That is when you know you can trust an esthetician. Your skin care needs are her primary concern. I have purchased some of the skin care products from the studio and have not been dissatisified with any of the products. Her recommendations suit my skin care needs. The studio has recently moved and expanded and I'm excited to work with the other estheticians/massage therapists and to trying new treatments.

Lastly, Kelly is very personable and fun to talk to! I enjoyed going there for both the sessions and hanging out and just talking with her!

The owner, Janine, greeted me and was very polite. In hindsight, I should have scheduled services with her, but alas, I did not. My facial was fragmented and didn't flow. A cleanser, then a serum, then a toner- which removed the serum? All over the place, without much rationale. I've had facials all over the country- without much of a miss. This.was.the.worst. Then comes the brows, after the concerning and confusing facial. My brows were tinted and then waxed. The tint left me looking like Ms. Trunchbull. No way I was going out in public with those on my face. Upon closer inspection my brows were haphazardly waxed- which I couldn't tell with the mass of tint still on my skin. Arrived home, attempted all the tricks to remove the tint, with little success. I'll be headed to another salon next week to correct the $40 attempt at brow shaping. Avoid, or at the very least, see Janine- which per the other reviews, is great...

Would not recommend this place to anyone had a massage and a facial both were below average…read more Very high on my list is hygiene and neither lady started by washing their hands for me this is a definite bad start. Facial felt like she had no idea of order or steps. I have had many facials this place was new to me yes but,it was not just oh a different place. NO she missed the areas past my cheekbones both sides to include the entire time. I would also highly recommend being aware when you are over someone that sometimes after eating or drinking that mints are so needed or water. This was an experience that I was just counting down when the treatment would be over the whole time. I did not relax at all. This was the sealing of no return when I left and got into my car I looked in the mirror both sides of my nose in the crease and above had white product left on. This is such unprofessional salon service. People pay hard earned money for a relaxing experience Could not of been more disappointed ! As for the the massage. I had the new member of the salon just my luck and while it was probably gonna be a learning curve for technique. I was on the receiving end of this. As I said could not get past thinking when is this over and yes I had the massage first so being disappointed I was so hopeful for the facial and ended with those same thoughts for both. There is no way I would want to say at the time to embarrass or be hurtful that it was awful ,but It was definitely that.

The check in process was simple; you give your name, pay for your service, temperature check, and complete a new patient questionnaire and wait to be called for your appointment. After not having a message for quite awhile, the experience itself left me at ease, comfortable and in no pain at all in my upper back near my shoulders. Stephanie showed me a few exercises to stretch the muscles, and maintain posture and allievate the strain in my upper shoulder area. I will defintly return in the future for the superb service and experience.

It's convenient, plenty of free parking and the building is accessible (one level, no steps to get in). There is also a unisex bathroom right off the lobby/welcome area. The space is bright and open and no chemical smell. Carol has her hair station near the nail tables (she does nails too!). We always discuss how my current style and color are working and what I'd like to do this time. She makes recommendations but always defers to my choices. There was one time I should have listened to her about my bangs, but I didn't, and luckily my bangs grew back pretty quickly LOL. She is a master of color and can tone down my highlights when the sun lightens them too much or lighten my hair when it's winter and I need a pick me up. If you need an experienced and personable stylist, call and schedule with Carole! She styles men, women, children, curly hair, wigs, does mani/pedis and more!

I'm just gonna come out and say it. I have hairdresser trust issues. It's nobody's fault but my own…read more-- my hair is super-curly and the texture is something most stylists don't know how to deal with. Many of my past haircuts have ended in tears because stylists have tried to put layers in where they don't belong, or straighten my hair, or any other number of mistakes. After my last hairdresser moved to Florida, I legitimately considered learning how to cut my own hair. But on recommendation from a friend, I gave Jackie at Beautyquest a call, and a not-completely-disastrous first experience was enough to keep me coming back. She's so friendly, cuts hair really quickly, and after many refusals on my part, she has finally stopped trying to straighten or blow-dry my hair after she cuts it. She's also good at working with a variety of textures (my mom and my sister also see her, and neither of them have hair that's even close to as crazy as mine). One thing to note is (and I'm not sure if it's just Jackie, or if it's every stylist at Beautyquest) that services here are cash or check-only.

Being my first Dermatologist appointment I figured I would actually get like a skin check because that could be. leading to I have my issues, but no, they're very dismissive to my main cause stating it was not an issue. They barely even took the time to look at it. They kept stating the triggers and asking if I saw all the providers or got tests done. I already went through all that with them. Because of this, my lack of trust for other providers has surfaced. I cannot recommend them right now.
