Is there such a thing as a 15 star rating? I've been getting massages for over 40 years, and truly I can say this was one of the best massages I've ever had. She worked on trigger points creating releases that I've never experienced before. Ahhh. Much of my aches are gone and I have free movement! I'm so excited. Really so wonderful! She not only worked out the kinks, but educated me about the anatomy of my body. She provided tips for how I could live my best life. I would highly recommend Shayna for any kind of massage work, but especially if you have that troubled spot that could use some help.

By the end of the session, all of my aches and pains were gone, and I felt better than I have in a long time. I will absolutely be back.

To be blunt, our experience and the lack of billing transparency at Serenity Spa was a disaster…read more My friend signed up for the Serenity Signature Package for $320 - which included a Signature Facial and the Aromatherapy Massage. Before my friend was going to receive the facial, she was pressured multiple times by the esthetician that she could upgrade to the Pumpkin Peel Facial for an extra $80, to which she agreed to. All of this should have resulted in a $400 dollar charge and a 10% tip for a $440 charge. Somehow Serenity Spa ended up charging her $564.  After explaining the overcharges, the front desk receptionist assured me there were no overcharges. Then after looking further, after intense prompting, she admitted there was a $60 overcharge - she couldn't explain how she came to this number, which was still wrong. After insisting this was the only overcharge, the receptionist refused to address the remaining $60 overcharge and hung up the phone after accusing us of lying, which was incredibly unprofessional and irritating as my friend is an incredibly accomplished and pure hearted person. I'm not at all surprised at the litany of negative reviews about Serenity Spa and I would encourage everyone to steer clear of this place and their questionable, at best, transparency and billing practices.

At the appointment she was thorough, and clearly has an immense amount of expertise. We talked all about different products and regimens that she recommended for me and did not try to "sell" me on anything. She also spoke a lot about the science behind each type of product & skin issue, and what to look out for. She crafted the facial specifically to my skin's needs (using two different types of masks on different areas of my face). She even gave a very nice neck, shoulder, head, and foot rub! Hands down best facial and best value I've ever gotten. Her salon with handle literally ANY aesthetic or cosmetic request (groups, permanent makeup, micro-derm, peels, waxing...etc). Very glad to have found her :)

They're more affordable than most nail salons I've been to, especially considering the quality of the service. If you're looking for a clean, friendly nail salon that does excellent work without charging a fortune, I highly recommend Dazzle Nail Spa. I'll definitely be back!

I was in South Lake Tahoe over the weekend for my birthday celebration, and my girlfriend and I…read moredecided to get our nails done. I needed a fill and a pedicure. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience. As you can see in the picture, my pedicure was supposed to be Cinderella blue with chrome on top. I paid an additional $15 for the chrome, but I honestly don't see any chrome on my nails. I was also a little confused while watching the application because she used her rubber glove to apply it. From my experience, chrome is usually applied with a sponge or applicator. The pedicure itself was probably the quickest pedicure I've ever received. There was very little cleaning or attention to detail, and when I got home, I had to clean the sides and underneath my toenails myself. I had a different person do the builder-gel fill on my hands. While she was doing my nails, I honestly felt like she wasn't very experienced with builder gel. My nails have never been this thick before. I also accidentally bumped one of my nails while putting my hand into the UV light because I was getting my pedicure and fill done at the same time, which put me in an awkward position. I pointed out the spot to her, but she looked at it and told me it was fine. I didn't feel like arguing because I already felt uncomfortable after they were discussing the fact that I wasn't sure what color I wanted for my hands. She asked me to show her a picture of what I wanted, so I did. Then she told me she couldn't do it. I was confused about why she asked to see the picture if she wasn't able to recreate it, especially since the design was simply purple with glitter. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, especially for the amount of money I spent. I was expecting more attention to detail and better communication.

WARNING TO FUTURE GUESTS: New Management Did Not Honor the Spa Package We Were Sold…read more Extremely Disappointing and Humiliating Experience I rarely leave reviews like this, but our experience with Elements Spa and the lodge where it is located was so upsetting that I feel future guests should know what happened, particularly if you are purchasing a spa package that advertises access to the lodge's private beach. I booked what was advertised as a 90-minute deep-tissue couples massage with access to the lodge's private beach. Because I was traveling with my family, I specifically asked the spa front desk beforehand whether my family could join me at the beach. I was told yes. Had I been told otherwise, we simply would have made different plans. Unfortunately, my massage with "Eddy" was one of the worst spa treatments I have ever received, and I have had many professional massages and spa treatments over the years. We were brought back approximately six minutes after our appointment time. During a significant portion of my treatment, the therapist simply rested his hands on my back while taking deep breaths. The remainder consisted primarily of extremely slow, light rubbing of lotion into my skin. There was virtually nothing I would describe as deep-tissue massage. It genuinely felt as though the goal was to let the 90 minutes pass rather than provide the treatment I had paid for. I questioned if he was even a professional masseuse after the treatment, because it was the most bizarre massage I've ever received. To be fair, my spa partner had a much better experience with Danielle. He described her as "very strong" and said his massage was something he would return for. The facility itself was also disappointing. The spa felt dated and run-down, with old carpeting and dingy, tiny bathrooms, and my massage was performed in what appeared to be an old hotel room. It was nothing like the relaxing or upscale spa experience I expected based on how the package was presented online. But the treatment we received afterward is the reason I am warning other guests. When my family joined me at the beach, as we had specifically been told they could, we were suddenly informed that the new lodge management would not honor what the spa/front desk had told us. Instead of recognizing that there was clearly a communication problem between the spa, front desk, and lodge management, the situation became hostile towards us, the paying customers. The new lodge management appeared to be a Middle Easterners, and specifically told us that they weren't affiliated with the Spa in any way shape or form and did not care what they sold us. We were ultimately escorted off the property while being accused of having "lied." This happened in front of my family and other guests and was incredibly embarrassing and humiliating. There were only four other people on the private beach besides our party of six. We had just spent nearly $500 on spa services and had specifically asked permission before ever bringing our family onto the beach. What makes this even more frustrating is that I personally approached the front desk and even offered to purchase a day pass so there would be absolutely no misunderstanding. I was assured that my family and I could enjoy the beach. I actually tipped the front desk employee because I appreciated what I believed was her helpful customer service. Yet when the new owner became involved, that assurance disappeared, and somehow we became the "liars." If the spa or front desk gave us incorrect information, that was an internal communication issue. Paying guests should not be publicly accused of dishonesty because management and the spa are not on the same page. I was willing to overlook an underwhelming massage. I was willing to overlook an outdated facility. I even tipped well because I don't like making someone feel badly about their work. What I cannot overlook is being told one thing before spending nearly $500, relying on that information, and then being humiliated and treated as though we had done something dishonest. This was supposed to be a relaxing first day of our family vacation in Lake Tahoe. Instead, it became one of the most uncomfortable and humiliating hospitality experiences I have ever had. My warning to future guests: If you are booking Elements Spa because the package includes lodge or private-beach access, get the exact terms in writing before you pay. Based on our experience, what the spa/front desk tells you may not be honored by the new lodge management. I will not return, and after the hostile and unprofessional way our family was treated, I cannot recommend Elements Spa or the lodge where it is located to anyone.
