Let me just preface this by saying I have never felt the need to write a bad review for any place until now. I sure wish I would have read more reviews before buying a Groupon for here...I had made an appointment to get a Brazilian walked in 10 minutes early and they said they had no appointment scheduled for me. After waiting 30 minutes for someone to "fit me in" (not an appointment I would care to rush by any means) I was put into a room with hair all over the floor and ratty towels. The only reason I didn't leave is because I had driven over an hour and had already paid. The lady that came in to do my wax seriously walked in said hi, and pulled off my towel that was covering me. She was SO rude, didn't say but a few words to me. I will give her this, it was VERY QUICK..but seriously left me on the table crying. Not because of the pain but because she was so rude and rough. When she was finished she said okay, see you back in 3 weeks and walked out WITHOUT washing her hands or using sanitizer!!!! AND, she didn't cover me back up before opening the door...it was awful and I hope no one else has to go through this experience
I always get my eyebrows waxed here by Marnita. She does an excellent job every time. My eyebrows are always nice and even. She could be more friendly or even a little. Doesn't speak hardly to you at beginning and barely says Thank you if at all at end of service.I'm very wary of people touching my eyebrows so if I find someone who consistently does a good job then I stay with them despite everything else. This is the only reason I keep coming.
I went to AJ's for a bikini wax. I will never again return - despite having purchased a groupon for 2 waxes. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired. The room was uncomfortably hot. I had to blow hair off of the bed before I laid down. The esthetician re-dipped the stick in the wax repeatedly rather than using a new stick each time. Even the application of the wax resulted in discomfort.She was brutal and the wax actually left welts on my skin. There is one strip of skin that started to bleed. Never again. I do not recommend this spa to any other women!!
I visited the spa for a brazilian wax for my first time visit. I was taken back and waxed by a woman who did not introduce herself or ask my name- made no small talk and acted as though she would rather be anywhere else. The room appeared dirty and messy and I noted hairs floating in the melted wax. As I changed lifted up the sheet to look under the table to see several hairballs and fuzz. The actual wax was efficient although a bit brutal. She does not have a gentle touch what so ever and I have had several waxes elsewhere. She also used the same stick throughout the entire service, re-dipping in the communal pot after it touched my skin. When she was finished she coldly left the room and told me to "have a nice day" and I did not see her after redressing nor did she walk me to the register. Decide for yourself but this place is a dump.

Response fromAJ's Spa Millennium
It's really sad when people have to be untruthful about services that they receive at spas. First of all every brazilian wax or any service that I perform at AJ's Spa Millennium I always introduce myself by saying "hello my name is Marnita I will be performing your service today, how are you?''. Then I begin to find out information about the person that I am about to service like their name, if it's their first service of this type, and if they have at least three weeks of hair growth. I always try to make sure the guest is comfortable with the service that they are about to receive and if they are not I will share with them ways to relax more during the service. I also share with them the different positioning that will take place during the service and that there will certain areas that we will get to where it will be important not to jump. In regards to the unhealthy sanitary conditions that this guest is referring to it is absolutely completely untrue. I challange anyone at anytime to vist and inspect the room and the wax pots that I perform the waxing services out of it is not only the cleanest wax room that you can ever and I do mean ever get a service in but it is inspected by the health board twice a year and it always passes the strict inspection requirements. The guest above clearly has some issues going on and I don't know what they are but I surely hope that she resolves them for herself. My questioin is if the room was as she says why would she continue the service???? This type of service is too personal to be subjected to unsanitary conditions. I do over 300 bikini waxing service from this very room on average every month and I am not willing to jeopardize my guest health.
Please BEWARE of this place. I have never been disappointed over a pedicure... They do not have spa pedicure chairs that are comfortable. They use a foot spa that you have at home, but some how NO jets, becuase it wasn't PLUGGED IN!!! My feet just sat in almost cold water and was charged $65??? This is normally my time to relax, but this was FAR from relaxing.... If you are looking for something remotely upscale.... This is not it!!!
I was shocked to read the negative reviews about the spa! When i was serviced there were some minor delays, however, the staff was very friendly! Once I was taken back to receive my services they did and excellent job! I will be returning!
I made an appointment for a manicure a week in advance. The day before, I got a call asking if I could change my time from 1pm to 2:30, which I was very happy to do. I got there right on time and after a few minutes, the manicurist came out to tell me she was behind and could I come back later. I told her I had already changed my appointment and that I had driven 20 minutes to get there. She then said that she could be with me in 30-40 minutes and I consented to wait. 50 minutes later I went to the desk to inquire and when the receptionist came back from talking to the manicurist (who never even came out to talk to me again) I was told it would be 20 minutes more! I left!! I have one day off and waiting at AJ's is not the way I want to spend it. I will never go there again, as they didn't even seem to care that I was leaving.
I was very pleased with my overall experience at AJ's! From the time i walked in until i walked out the door the staff was very friendly and helpful! At first i was a little shocked at the price, however, I will pay whatever price for Marnita's services! My eye brows look amazing, feet feel fantastic, and the quickest/best Brazilian I have ever had!
I've been going to this spa and getting my hair done by a stylist who has been excellent. In this visit I made an appointment to get a manicure. They had a new nail service called Axxium Nails by Opi, which is a colored gel polish manicure which is supposed to last 2 weeks or more. I'm growing my nails out and need some reinforcement so I decided to try Axxium Nails. I realize with gel the layers are to be applied thinly but the color wasn't deep enough even though I selected a purplish pink color. The color was nice and rich in the pot but not as applied on my nails. The color was applied so light I could see my own nails through the color. I'm not sure if the nail tech was being lazy as it took a great deal of time with all the thin layers and curing time. I needed more layers than what was applied. When I got home I noticed the nail color wasn't evenly applied also, some places were lighter than other places. This is my first experience with gel and didn't know exactly how it was supposed to look. I'm certain gel polish is to supposed to look like regular nail polish in regards to the richness of the color, the only difference is that it lasts longer and has a high shine, otherwise gel wouldn't be popular. I've concluded the job that was done on my nails was horrible. I had to use nail polish on top of it. I supposidly had my nails done by the head nail tech. To top it all off, when I went to the desk to pay, the owner asked to see my nails and he stated they were nice and the color was rich. Anybody could see the job was sloppily done. I was dumbfounded at his statement. I won't be getting my nails done here anylonger. I would rather not come here anymore but my hairstylist is excellent.
Great hair coloring experience and advice. Great products. I have had my hair colored here several times and have been very pleased with the quality of workmanship and experience of the operators. Great service.
