Perfect Group Outing, Best Customer Service!
By MarieM | May 6, 2013
5.00 out of 5 stars
My friends and I visited A Better You for some services leading up to a bridal party a week ago, and I have to say.. AMAZING customer service from beginning to start. Booking was easy and the front desk workers were so knowledgeable about their services and super nice. The group room was intimate and cute too! BUT! The best part were the services.. Amazing SpaRitual Pedicure and the BEST massage I have ever had!! I have paid over $100 for a massage at a huge resort in Atlanta that didn't last the full hour my deep tissue did here, and the one at ABU was SO much better!! I cannot stop recommending this place to others, especially for larger groups. Thank you SO much ABU! I have an appointment scheduled soon, cannot wait to come back!

Bad Pedi, but Worse Customer Service
By AdrienneM | March 23, 2013
2.00 out of 5 stars
I will say that on my first experience for facial and underarm waxing the service was pretty good. However, she did the underarm wax after my relaxing facial; should have been vise versa. However, it was a pretty good experience. Another note is that upon entering the spa there are about 4 girls always at the desk and the other specialist tend to socialize up there between gigs; reducing intimacy. My last visit I got a pedicure by a girl who clearly did not know what she was doing to the point where she sent me out in 30 degree weather in cardboard flip flops and wet toenails (that got botched in the car). Also my 30 minute lunchtime pedi took 1.5 hours. When I complained I was contacted and they apologized. They said someone would get back with me in regards to compensation, but no one ever got back. When I followed up 3 weeks later, it showed where they read and received the email however no one responded. I will never return there. Nor will i ever recommend anyone to go there. I hate that because it seemed like a promising business that is trying to grow, but professionalism and atmosphere are lacking greatly.

Terrible mani/pedi and poor customer service! Will not return.
By alisha | December 3, 2012
1.00 out of 5 stars
My sister got married in may &so as a gift to her myself &her bridal party booked a day at the spa for us to get pampered before her big day. I had been in touch with the facility several times prior to our appt &had let them know what services everyone wanted as well as booked the "suite" offered to groups that was $45 extra. Also had told them we wanted french mani/pedi. Upon arrival, the "suite" was not booked for us so it wasn't ready, yet they still expected me to pay for it, which I did not. Our french mani/pedis were awful; our nails were pink &the white tips were not even visible. Our hands &feet were also left with an oily mixture all over them. Upon checkout we were informed that we had to pay extra since we got the french mani/pedi. So not only did we end up paying more than we should have for a terrible experience, we then had to go get our nails redone so that they would look decent at the wedding! Quality of work is not worth the money you are paying! Had bought my mother a gift card for Christmas &when she called to book her appt, she was told she would have to pay extra bc their packages had changed since I booked the appt. NO WAY! I paid $224.25 for the package and the services arent worth that, much less more!!

Response from A Better You Day Spa & Salon

Alisha, on behalf of A Better You we apologize that we did not exceed your expectations. We do realize that you were unhappy with the mani/pedi services you received only after speaking with you this past week. However, we were not informed at the time of the services, May 5th, so that we could have resolved your concerns before you left. In regards to your mom's gift card, we did explain that the original nail services that are no longer offered would be honored for your mom's gift card so that there would be no difference in pricing, however, you asked instead for your money to be refunded. Despite our policy of no returns for gift cards we did return the full amount in an attempt to satisfy an unhappy client. We do realize that some clients will be unsatisfied with the service they receive and only ask that we be given the opportunity to correct the situation and be given feedback so that we can continue to improve our level of service. Again, we apologize and would still love for you and your mom to come in for a complimentary service in hopes that you will leave a satisfied client.

I've been going to Kathy since 2009 when my now husband deployed. She not only won me over as a new client, but she won me over as a friend. She did an outstanding job for my wedding and ever since. She has watched my family grow over the past three years and recently gave our son his first haircut :) She's very upbeat and super friendly and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

Mark was awesome!!
By HeatherT | November 29, 2012

I recently had a color service done by Mark and he was awesome!! He done exactly what I asked of him and not necessary what he wanted to do, which means a lot to me. He chose a color that was very similar to my natural color with some highlights and then applied a toner over the highlights so that everything blended very nicely together. The result was great and was what I was wanting. I was very impressed with Mark and his professional attitude. Thank you Mark!!

Mark did an amazing job on my hair! I wanted a drastic change and was very nervous to do something so different but he made me feel very comfortable. In the end, it turned out better than I had imagined. I brought in a picture and he did exactly what I wanted. I've gotten many compliments on my hair and I will defiantly be back to see him!

Kathy "Sassy" S
By cd | November 28, 2012

Kathy does my hair, my husbands hair my friends hair and my moms hair. we are all very pickey. my mom had a very bad experience as a young women and had a reaction to bleach and almost died. She had been going to the same person in Ohio for 22 year. This person is nice, but uses "old ways"and my mom's hair is always dry and many shades for orange and blonde. Kathy colored my mom's hair and it a beautiful shade of blonde and all one color and had a shine for the first time in years....and she put my mom at ease by praying with her before the color went on. So all I can say is...Kathy, whom I call Sassy because of her wonderful up beat charm...you rock darling!!!!!

For those who think these reviews mean nothing...
By Sherri LynnP | November 27, 2012
1.00 out of 5 stars
I come to the reviews to get an overall feeling for a spa/hair salon, to see if it is worth a visit. But when I see recent reviews describing a visit, it makes me rethink my initial opinion to visit. Especially when it comes to getting my hair done. I truly was about to pick up the phone and make an appointment, when I make note of the latest review this month. I don't always base it on only one review, but an overall accounting of what I read. And what I read made me leery enough not to make a phone call. I shall be trying other salons elsewhere.

On behalf of A Better You Day Spa & Salon we completely agree with you that the choice to visit a company should be based, in part, by all reviews as a whole and also the credible content of the review. We have many reviews online from satisfied clients along with some from clients that were not satisfied. We always take customer service very serious and if anyone is not satisfied we just ask to be given the opportunity to correct the situation. Its unfortunate that most reviews people take the time to post are about a negative experience vs a positive one. We encourage anyone looking to read reviews to friend us on Facebook or visit our website where you will see hundreds of reviews posted by clients that have filled out our first time client survey. You are also more than welcome to come in for a free consultation for any service we offer to see for yourself if we are the right fit for what you are looking for.

Very unhappy with my recent visit to their Hair Salon
By Monica | November 15, 2012
1.00 out of 5 stars
Staying at one of the hotel's close by for a few days and thought I'd give it a shot...big mistake! Went in for a few hi-lites and a trim and came out with brassy orange streaks and an uneven haircut that looks awful. The place looks nice on the inside but very plain on the outside. My stylist seemed new to the business and for their prices I would expect an expert in the field. Will not be back, overpriced and under performance.

I have been here for almost three years, and never have I had any problems. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, and if I have ever had any problems or questions they were quickly resolved. I have sent many people over to A Better You, and always know that they will treat them right. Recently I went in and just had the best experience, that I needed to share how awesome they are. Had the best best Pumpkin Spice pedicure and massage last week, I always leaving excited to come back!

Extremely disappointing and costly visit.
By SheilaB | November 4, 2012

My friends and I had several services done prior to my wedding and all of them were sub-standard. The staff was very mechanical, almost robot like and much of the furniture was outdated. It felt cold and unfriendly from the time we stepped in. We will not be going back anytime soon. For the money spent on what we got, we all felt ripped off. It seemed like a chain spa that was run poorly and only cares about the money generated in the moment.

A below average massage
By AliF | September 15, 2012

When I first arrived 10 min prior to my massage to fill out paper work the girls at the front desk were not prepared with the paperwork. She told me she would get it and I watched her go off and help with some lotions she came back and looked at me and said Oh yea your paperwork. I have a lot of back issue and a ton of knots throughout my shoulders. I scheduled a 30 minute deep tissue massage and told the therapist the areas I was the most tense. She ran over them a few times but did not work on them at all. I have had massages before from other places (Focus for massage off of East Brainerd Rd) and they were awesome really worked on my knots and I felt extremely relaxed after. I will not be going back to this spa. The knots in my back are extremely painful and I paid to have them worked on and they were not. I am extremely disappointed. There was no communication throughout the massage either. I had no idea where to keep my arms. The therapist just left them hanging off the bed after she massaged them. It was akward

Not sure...

Let me first say that I have not ever visited this spa. However, my husband and I are planning a vacation for early next week and decided that a spa day would be an excellent idea. I called earlier today and tried speaking with someone about the different packages they offered and suggestions for our couples day. The lady that answered gave me some prices, but offered no couple's package or any help at all. I was having to pry all the answers that she gave me out of her. I felt like I was bothering her. I have never dealt with a spa that was anything more than helpful and this was extremely frustrating to me. You would think that the people that answer the phones would be willing to help. We are still unsure if we are even going to consider using this spa with all of the other spas that we have looked up or spoken with MUCH more willing to help and offer couple's packages. I would suggest that they encourage the people that are answering the phones to be friendly, nice, willing to answer questions, and knowledgeable of their services.

I went to this spa a few weeks ago and I loved every minute of my experience. I originally went only to get a massage, but I ended up getting a facial and a manicure and pedicure. It was a well deserved and long needed break for myself and I am SO glad I chose A Better You Salon & Spa. I have already schedule a mother's day visit this month to spend time with my mother there. Absolutely returning!

Nice spa, but less than average nail services.
By LaSandaT | September 18, 2011
2.00 out of 5 stars
I recently visited this spa for the first time. I only had a pedicure. The spa really needs to improve their nail services, if they are going to offer nail salon services. The technician was very pleasant, but her nail painting skills were poor. The spa has no nail tools or hardly any colors. It would have been nice to sit in a massage chair for my full spa pedicure. They do not have nail dryers or nail quick drying spray. I sat there for maybe 5 minutes for my nails to air dry, then was told I could go. They do not do gel nails or acrylics. They really didn't even trim my cuticles. I will be back to try a massage, but I will never use the nail services.

The spa overall is a nice place to go to its just I was really looking foward to a nice massage and I felt as if Kathy was using a feather to give me a massage She ask, " Is that enough pressure" I said "No". We went through that maybe 7 times, and I am sad to say that it never got better, I will give it another shot though another time, just more presuure and LESS TALKING. I want to relax not talk.

Relaxing and enjoyable

Every time I visit ABU I feel like a friend. I am greeted by my name when I walk in the door, that is the first step to making me feel at ease. I get brazillians done and Talitha is the BEST. I love the wax product she uses, and although the first few times of this service I felt awkward, she made me feel relaxed and calm. She def. knows what shes doing! Another service is the amazing pedicure with Megan, I just melted in the chair, but I do have a suggestion: more colors please. I plan to get a massage there when my schedule allows. And the 50% last minute appointments are awesome! I don't know anyone else you does this, and let me tell you, it's great that they offer this! I would recommend, go back, stay if I could, and praise this spa all day long! It is the best spa in Chattanooga (yes, I am a real customer!)

Go here for massages
By SaraW | May 30, 2010

My experience with the establishment has been nothing short of professional and relaxing. I booked a massage last week after a friend told me about their 50% off daily last minute appointments. Its a fantastic treat, especially for a singl mom like myself that can't afford to pamper themselves very often. Ellen did my massage and it was incredible. She started out with a consultation and asked me about any problem areas that needed extra concentration. I am in the service industry so my job is very repetitive and needless to say does a number on my neck and shoulders. Once Ellen had me change into a robe and go in the room, she applied hot packs to my shoulders to help start releasing the muscles. Let me just say that not only does she use great pressure but once she feels a tight muscle, she really takes her time and works it out. I was a little sore the next day(she told me I would be). But the difference has been incredible. This past week my neck and shoulders have felt so much better. And I also have to say this as well, Leah at the front desk is probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met...extremely professional and made me feel welcome and important instantly. For every mom or single mom that needs a break from reality and a place you can relax, visit this day spa. I know I will be back many times. They also have a childrens day spa as well that I plan to take my daughter too sometime. Thanks ladies!!!!!

Day of Pampering
By GraceLynW | May 28, 2010
5.00 out of 5 stars
My boss surprised me with an afternoon of pampering at A Better You. It was such a relaxing day. I started off with an ABU signature facial. They have their own skin care line called Elocin which I absolutely love. The Citrus Enzyme Cleanser made my face look so fresh and radiant. The Orange Green Tea Microderm scrub is very fine and it gently but effectively buffed away the congestion in my skin. I couldn't believe how smooth my skin felt. I wasn't even concerned that I went to the store afterwards without any makeup because my skin looked so good! All the products feel and smell wonderful. I was able to purchase a starter kit so I could keep my radiant look. I truly believe this is the best skin care I have ever used from store brand, department store, Informerical products etc. Next I had a body scrub and massage. I about fell asleep on the table and my skin felt so silky afterwards. Then I finished my spa day with a spa pedicure. All the girls were so nice and friendly. I hope my boss pampers me again.....real soon.

Mother's Day ruined by A Better You Day Spa!!
By SaraN | May 25, 2010
1.00 out of 5 stars
This past Mother's Day my three wonderful children saved their hard earned money and decided to purchase me a $50.00 gift card for A Better You Day Spa located in Chatanooga TN. They were so excited when presenting me this gift with the notion that I would get some much deserved pampering. I thought this was such a great gift and was impressed with the notion that my children had gifted me with something so thoughtful. My children paid cash for the $50.00 gift card. After looking forward to being pampered a bit for three weeks, I called A Better You Day Spa and booked an appointment. They were offering an internet special on Facebook and I mentioned this when booking my appointment. Approximatly one hour before my appointment the manager from A Better You Day Spa called be back and told me that I could not use my gift card with any spa specials. I was dumfounded to say the least because I have never heard of any buisness or company treating a gift card as anything other than cash. If I were to pay for the spa special with cash, check, or credit card that would have been fine. However to my dismay the gift card that my children paid cash for was not considered money according to the manager. Needless to say I was upset and tried to explain my posistion to the manger on the phone that the only difference in me paying with cash for my spa services and paying with a gift card is that for three weeks the spa was earning interest on my children's money. The offer posted on Facebook did not note any restrictions, nor were there any restrictions noted on my gift card. The manager refused to make it right and I canceled my appointment. I have attemepted to call and speak to the owner of A Better You Day Spa but according to the ladies that answer the telephone they do not know who the manager or owner is. I have left multiple messages for the managment and they refuse to return my phone calls. I have been left angry and stressed by this whole situation, not exactly the way you should feel about a SPA!

Great Waxing-Great Service
By JenniferB | April 23, 2010
5.00 out of 5 stars
I always enjoy my experience at A Better You. All of the emloyees are always friendly, making sure I am well taken care of. Talitha always delivers great consistent service, I don't have one complaint from the many times I have visited the Spa. I have received the Brazilian Waxing, Full leg waxing, and underarm waxing-and I have loved them all.(I don't have to shave for at least 2.5 weeks!!!!) She is thorough and if i ever have any questions I know I can visit the website or call the Spa directly, but I never find a need to do so. I have not had the fortunate experience of trying out the many other services offered at A Better You, but I hope to be able to spend a lot more time there after the end of the semester. It is a relaxing place to be, and a great place for a girls day out. I will continue to tell my friends about this Spa and all of its WONDERFUL benefits:) THANK YOU LADIES FOR YOUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Massage
By JoanneK | April 23, 2010
5.00 out of 5 stars
I have to thank this spa for the wonderful first time experience with a massage that I had this past week. I have never had a massage before and when I called, the young lady on the phone was so sweet and took the time to go over the different massges available. I told her how nervous I was and she assured me that I would love the massage and boy was she right. I am for sure hooked now. The whole place is great, everyone is friendly and really makes you feel welcome. I believe the young ladys name was Ellen and she did an amazing job. My job requires sitting at a desk all day at the computer, slumped over in that not so great for your back position. Anyway, my neck and shoulders were a mess, but since the massage I feel a million times better. I've also gone several times in the past for brow waxing with Taitha, she is fantastic at shaping brows. Highly recommend her. Thanks again lady's and you've won me over for good.

I will NEVER go back
By GabrielleW | April 21, 2010

I went to A Better You Salon and Spa today to receive a brazilian wax and a full leg waxing. I arrived 20 minutes early, because I was told to arrive 10 minutes early and ended up waiting 10 minutes past my appointment time. While the girl who did the waxing was very nice and did a great job making me feel comfortable while she waxed my oh so private region, she did a terrible job with the actual waxing. The brazilian wasn't done too poorly, my only complaint about it, is the strip she left is very much not centered and make the whole job look bad. Oh, and the wax was so hot on my area down there I almost cried, it was a hundred times worse then the actual waxing. The leg waxing though was absolutely HORRIBLE. When I got home I noticed numerous patches and even a huge strip of hair, she completely missed. And what she did wax is prickly, no smoother than if I had shaved days ago. I had to come home and pluck hairs with tweezers and spend even more money on a home wax kit so I could wax the huge patches she missed. This isn't my first bad experience with them either. Many years ago I went there to get a black streak removed from my hair, only to leave a hundred dollars shorter with a black streak still in my hair. The stylist "claimed" it would fade out in a day or two. I ended up going to another salon a week later and paying another hundred dollars to have them take it out, which they did with complete ease (Magic Hand's Salon=best hair salon I've ever been too, they're wonderful). Anyways, I decided to give A Better You another chance, hoping that a different service with a different person would be a better experience, but obviously I had no such luck. I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK. And I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful Massage!!
By ShelliF | March 18, 2010

My husband bought me a gift certificate for here for Valentines Day. I have fibromyalgia, so I have a lot of pain, that's mostly concentrated in my back & shoulders. The massage therapist knew about fibromyalgia, made sure I was comfortable with the pressure she was using, and she was able to 'release' or break up a few of the trigger points, or knots that I had in my back & shoulders. I've been back several times since, and each time my massage has been wonderful! I had to wait one time, the therapist was running late, but I was offered a glass of wine while I waited, and I sat & read a magazine, and the wait wasn't long at all. I've recommended this spa to several of my friends. They have my business...it's hard to find good massage therapists when you're dealing with fibromyalgia! :)

Relaxing Experience
By DannyJ | March 5, 2010

I found this place online looking for bare escentuals makeup about a year ago and have been purchasing from them ever since. The ladies are always friendly and professional...willing to help wth the makeup if you need to try something on. I never really paid attention to the services side until one day after a stressful day at work, I stopped in to buy makeup and the young lady at the desk suggested I get a massage and gave me a brochure. Later on I got on their website and looked around at the different services and decided to just treat myself to an all day event. I'm telling you, these girls are awesome. I ended up getting a massage, facial, bodyglow, pedicure and manicure...I felt like a new woman when I left. I plan on becoming a regular. Being a full time working mom with a pre-teen I need all the relaxation I can get. Thanks girls, your a lifesaver and you've got a client for life.

My husband and I just went here for a couples massage and body glow. I booked it to surprise my husband and was mortified that this was where I chose. We typically go to spas in Knoxville; so after reading the reviews I chose this spa for our day in Chattanooga. It is NOTHING like what we have experienced in the past. If you are looking for a pampering, it's not here. We were offered a drink upon entering, that we never got it. They ask that you arrive 10 minutes before your appt. We still ended up waiting for about 20 minutes! There is one shower, and it was in the room we got the massages. We were going out to dinner afterward; so of course, I didn't want to have oily hair. Luckily, I asked if there was shampoo in the shower. They didn't have anything in there! After asking, the lady did bring me a very small sample shampoo and conditioner. The poor people behind us had to wait for their massage longer because we had to take a shower and get out of the room before they could replace the linens and get them changed. It's very poorly organized. The facility wasn't very clean either. We saw a pile of dust on the top of a shelf near the shower. The customer service is very lacking. Neither one of the ladies that worked on us asked about problem areas or even checked on the pressure. We were never offerred water afterward (most places encourage hydration). I will never be back to this place. The reviews written all seem a little shady because they are nothing like what we experienced. All 5 star and with an exclamation point at the end of the subject? Yes, I believe it is written by non-customers. Don't believe them....

My first experience with A Better You Day Spa happened when I was told that they carried Bare Escentual Makeup. I had never tried the makeup before so decided to visit A Better You for a complimentary makeup application. The moment I walked through the door I was greeted warmly by the front desk receptionist. Even though they were very busy, someone took the time to apply the makeup and help me choose the perfect colors for my skin. I would highly recommend A Better You to anyone looking for that rare experience we call "Great customer service".

I hadn't had my hair cut in about a year and a half due to a traumatic chop I got at another salon, so finally I entrusted Lori to cut my locks. I was so happy I did! She really listened to what I wanted and I FINALLY got a GREAT haircut! Everybody has said Who did your hair? The results were great and I finally have someone I can come back to for my cuts! I am going to bring the rest of my family in for Lori to cut. Thanks girl!
