Olena's European Spa and Salon

I went to Olena's because it was affordable. The place was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. I had the microdermabrasion w/, eyebrow shaping, and foot & hand exfoliation. In addition to the sunless spray tan personally done by Olena. I was glowing on my prom day, my skin was smooth and I had a beautiful tan. Unfortunately, after a week my skin started to peel. It was the sunless tan rubbing off of my skin making me all blotchy... not good. Overall, the place is nice, the staff is friendly but I would like to see better products.

Ok so I didn't do any sort of treatment here for myself but I bought a massage session for a friend which she seemed to have enjoyed. The atmosphere was quite nice and elegant, I was just sitting in the guest room with magazines and the staff brought me sweets and tea. Most spas serve drinks but sweets? I loved it! I toured around the building and the have a menu full of spa things to do.

I called Olena's Day Spa last Saturday morning asking if I could book an appointment at the last minute for a hip and thigh treatment. I had been dieting and exercising for months but while my muscles were getting stronger, I was only gaining weight with the exercise and my fantastic hips were not decreasing in size, so I was really frustrated. I was given an appointment with no problem. I wound up arriving early. The interior of the spa is absolutely gorgeous. The decor is very unique and tasteful, designed with a kind of 1800s elegance while maintaining all the modern amenities. Also the artwork on the walls was very beautiful and I could see that a lot of time and care had gone into the interior design. The staff are all well-dressed, friendly, courteous, and professional. I first waited about 15 minutes in the downstairs reception, and then went to see the girl in the upstairs-reception, to ask if I should just come back in a bit (since I was early). Instead, she offered that I could use the treadmill while I was waiting, which was perfect! So I used the treadmill for a while and then she offered me to use the steam bath while I waited, explaining that this would made the treatment more effective. The steam bath was very powerful and effective - not like some I have been in. I could not see anything but steam - and I could feel it working and cleaning the skin. Olena, the owner of the spa, came and took me for my treatment. Again, she is very professional, everything went smoothly (I had never been in a spa before so it was all very new). She explained everything she was doing and she also gave me some excellent advice regarding my diet, including some things I had not thought of before but which made a lot of sense. (I have studied a lot regarding health and nutrition so I am not dumb on the subject, but she pointed out factors I could easily change in my diet, which I had definitely not known about or realized). The treatment consisted of vigorous exfoliation, a kind of massage (I think it was lymphatic), and a wrap in seaweed and some other things I forgot. After this treatment and about 1/2 hour in the wrap, I cleaned off in a jacuzzi in a gorgeous old fashioned bathtub. The only reason I rated this spa 4 stars for service variety, is because I wish they offered more weight loss and anti-cellulite treatments, as I have seen other spas offering. However I also want to add that the treatments seem to generally run less expensive than other spas.
