Natasha to save the day! September 28, 2008 | 41 of 71 people found this review helpful
In
celebration of a girlfriend and my birthdays, our husbands treated us
to a day at the spa (which was much needed since we have both given
birth recently). We searched out this particular spa because it had a
vichey shower.
We opted for a hot stone massage, as well as the body scrub with the
vichey shower, and my friend also was going to get a facial. When
setting up the appointments, we asked if all treatments were safe for
nursing mothers and were told yes. I also asked if there was a
sauna/steam/hot tub, that I could use while my friend received her
facial and the receptionist said there was, just ask when you wanted it
turned on. She never mentioned that there was a fee for using these
facilities, which are free with treatments in most spas.
After receiving the body scrub, I was instructed to clean off in the
hot tub. When I asked when I was going to receive the vichey shower, I
was informed that I would not be (my friend did though). I was very
disappointed since that was the very reason that we went to this
paticular spa.
Next up was the massage...it was suppose to be a hot stone massage, but
I was only scheduled for a Swedish massage. An error that was made by
the receptionist.
I spent the next hour trying to communicate with several people (only
the pedicurist spoke good English) only to then be told that should not
receive a hot stone treatment because I was only 7 weeks postpartum (a
question that was originally asked when the appointments were set up).
After contemplating leaving without the massage, I decided to go ahead
and let Natasha give me a massage, and she was awesome. She was the
only thing that saved the day, and made me give the two stars instead
of one.
In the end they gave me the use of the sauna free, which I wasn't
planning to pay for anyways (she told me that it would have cost me $25
for 15 minutes-yikes). They also gave my friend and I a $10 gift card
to come back. That was the most insulting part of it all! What was
supposed to be a beautiful, relaxing day, without my kids, turned into
a long stressful, expensive day, which should be worth a lot more than
$10 and 15 minutes in the sauna!
Trust me, your money will be better spent somewhere else.
I would visit this business again? No
