Sea Spa Salon

Got a great men’s haircut with Temisha yesterday. Very happy with the time she took to do a perfect job

ok so i made an appointment online to have my hair cut… showed up an it wasn’t in their system! I had a very special event the following day… My sons high school graduation… The receptionist was very apologetic and scheduled me for 10 am the following day. worried about time i asked how long my haircut would take, «45 min an hour tops» ok that works…
Next day i showed up for my appointment with Temissha Lee, told her i had my sons graduation and she started at 10:03 i told her exactly how i wanted my hair and she acknowledged every request. i wanted 2 – 3 inches off, long layers, side part, angled into my face and a thin layer of long whispy bangs just in my eyes. i knew i was in trouble when she said ok there is your bangs, I cut them just above your eyebrows so they wont be in your eyes!!! um even worse 2 inches above my eye brows! and my bangs went to the center of my head! not 1 layer in my hair, middle part, straight along my face not angled into my face, took at least 5 inches off and my hair is so thin i don’t know how or what she did to it but completely ruined my nice thick natural blond hair! on top of it all there was no clock in sight so i finally get my phone out HOLY S#!T its 11:35! so after an hour an a half, $ 80, and the worst hair cut i have ever seen I wouldn’t even stop at the store on the way home so no one would see me!

I’ve gotten many shellac manicures but none as meticulous or beautiful as the one I got here. I saw Janelle (sp?) and she was fun to talk to and was super observant– she paid close attention to all steps instead of just trying to get it done and get me out of there. I was pleasantly surprised by the price as well!
They have the best selection of gel colors on island, probably about 100 polishes in comparison to the usual 20. They also have lots of brands like Coola and Devacurl that are difficult to find. All around awesome visit.

Great island spa! Recently had a manicure and pedicure, the staff was lovely.

Awesome experience! This place was clean, professional and friendly. Did a great job. Fantastic that they’re open year round with islander discounts and weekly specials. I WILL BE BACK!

Superb spa treatments from some really nice pros there. A heavenly Deep Tissue massage from Tameisha. She is amazing.
Donnette gave me a divine SunDial Facial. My skin was glowing. Utterly pampering and professional. Very sweet and nice people. Definitely a must go for any Edgartown MVY spa needs!

Sorry for the long review, but if you’re looking for quick info, DON’T EVER GO HERE.
Myself and 2 friends had appts at 1:15PM. After waiting for 15 minutes, one of my friends began her pedicure. After 45 minutes without me or my other friend being helped, a woman (we would later find out this woman was the owner, Selissa) finally came over to us and asked if we had gel nail polish on our fingers that needed to be removed. I did, so she quickly told THE RECEPTIONIST how to remove my gel nail polish and left the salon. The receptionist proceeded to tell me not to be «weirded out», but that she had never done this before. She didn’t need to tell me that because it was very obvious. I became uncomfortable with the idea of going through with a full manicure and pedicure given the lack of professionalism and skill being displayed so I discreetly texted my two friends to tell them just that. I sat there for about 30 minutes with my nails wrapped in foil before asking where Selissa went and she told me she had gone next door to do a men’s haircut. I found it extremely unprofessional that she would book an appointment for me and leave in the middle of it to service someone else, leaving a completely untrained receptionist to do my nails. At this point it was very clear that there were only 2 people working in the spa, so I don’t understand why they would schedule 3 appointments simultaneously. Selissa finally came back and started removing the foil and scraping the gel polish off my hands. Her method was concerning and I actually said something to her during because she was filing my nails down too much and I was afraid she was going to hurt me. When she was «done», I noticed there was still gel on several of my fingernails, so I asked her to wrap them again. She did and then left me to go start on my other friend’s pedicure. After another 30 minutes of not being tended to, I removed the foil and scraped the gel off of my own fingernails. Meanwhile, the 1^st friend who started getting a pedicure was still being worked on after an hour and a half, and they hadn’t started painting her nails. I was watching the woman do her toes the whole time and her lack of technique was disturbing. She honestly looked like she had never given a professional pedicure before. My other friend who was getting her toes done by Selissa seemed to enjoy the pedicure for the most part, until the end. While her legs were still sticky from the lotion that was used during the massage, Selissa «accidentally» took the towel from under her feet that was filled with dead foot skin shavings and dumped it all over her legs. In all my years, I have never seen anything like this happen at a nail salon. Even worse, she didn’t even acknowledge that it happened, let alone apologize. By this point, we had been in the salon for close to 3 hours and had only gotten 2 pedicures and 1 manicure TOTAL. When we were finished, my friends paid an astronomical amount of money for a horrible experience, and I thought the spa should be aware of our dissatisfaction. After we left, I called and explained that I had just left the salon with 2 of my friends and that we were very unhappy with the experience we had. Before I could finish, she interrupted to say «I’m sorry you feel that way» with a negative attitude. I asked if she and the other woman were in fact certified nail technicians and she said yes, however I don’t believe this is true. She repeated «I’m sorry you feel that way» a couple more times, and then accused me of «humiliating and degrading» her by texting my friends about her while we were all in the salon. Again, I was texting my friends for the opposite purpose: I was trying to avoid embarrassing anyone by discreetly telling them I would not be getting my nails done there. She was yelling at me that she couldn’t believe anyone would ever treat her that way and that she and her staff were humiliated and before I could respond, she hung up on me. My friends and I went to dinner later that night and met an Esthetician that works at a different salon on Martha’s Vineyard. We shared our experience with her, and she knew exactly what salon we were talking about. She said they have a reputation for hiring non-​certified people to do nails and that she has heard numerous complaints about them. My friend that got a manicure ended up with a bleeding cuticle, and my other friend now has a rash between her toes that is incessantly itching. The most shocking part was how the owner handled the situation. When I called she had a chance to right the situation, but instead she chose to yell at me, accuse me of humiliating her, and hang up on me. I have never been treated so poorly as a customer in my life. My main concern here is that the spa will continue to allow non-​certified people to do nails. This is dangerous, illegal and unethical.

After reading the reviews on here, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical before my visit. I received a gift card to Sea Spa as an anniversary gift and decided to put it towards the Lemon Velveteen Whipped Mouse Massage. What an amazing experience from start to finish! After booking my appointment online I had a few questions, so I emailed the spa. I received a prompt reply from Jasmine answering all of my questions and received two emails confirming my appointment. Great customer service! The salon was very open and welcoming, and the spa beautifully decorated and serene. My masseuse, Krystal, was incredibly sweet and made me feel comfortable from the second she walked in! The treatment was everything I had hoped for and then some. Overall, a wonderful experience! Thank you Sea Spa for making my first trip to Martha’s Vineyard an unforgettable one!

I have been in this salon several times and must say I wish I could give them a good review but I just can’t. The girls at the front desk is sweet. I want in with a bunch of my friends for a Birthday and they stuck us in a conference room of the hotel, not in the nail section where they had the pedicure chairs. We sat in hard chairs and our feet where put in cold buckets of water. The guy looked nervous doing my feet and then just in the middle someone else came over and started doing my pedicure with no reason as to why. What is even more odd is the woman next to me told me and my friend she is a massage therapist and just stated doing nails and asked me if she was doing an ok job. I asked her why was she doing nails if she isn’t trained she said to make the money with her thick accent. She seemed dirty to me but was happy and sweet, very friendly. One of our friends had a bikini wax and it was awful, she said it was very painful slow and she bruised. My friend Heather was very disappointed and felt ripped off when she got a bill for $ 600 and we asked can we get some sort of discount because we had no idea that your space couldn’t accommodate all of us and we would have preferred the use of the nail room not hotel room. Owner was not nice to me at all and i still had to pay. I wouldn’t recommend this salon to anyone, they uncharge for services not rendered and are not qualified workers.

I recently came here as part of a bridal party, and even though everyone was super accommodating and friendly, my manicure could have been much much much better. It seemed like the lady who was doing my nails had zero clue what she was doing. I told her I wanted them to be slightly rounded but square. She shaped my first hand well so I stopped paying as close attention, and then she botched my second hand. They were pointy and shorter than my other hand so by the time had made them square, my nails were two different lengths. AND she never went back to adjust the first hand. At that point, I didn’t even care. Again, while painting, she looked like a 5 year old. Unfortunately, the majority of my group also felt very unhappy with the quality of the manicure. Hours and hours later, people were still getting chips and smudges in their polish.
I’d take my business elsewhere for this service if I were from the area.

Love this place! Friendly, professional staff & our nails looked amazing. I recommend it above all else & am looking forward to going back.

Completely unprofessional for bridal/​bridesmaid appointments. Owner showed up half hour late to bridal suite and was NOT friendly at all… not even to the bride! Was very worried to have an updo after seeing the «finished» product of the girls ahead of me… did not look finished at all. Icing on the cake, the salon tried to charge me $ 255 for no show appointments I originally made when I have in email from the bride that she rescheduled to have appointments at the hotel. Had to dispute through my credit card because owner still denies. BRIDES — you do not need the extra stress… look elsewhere!!!

We stopped in after a day of shopping, and she was happy to give us a foot massage. Very friendly and great therapeutic massage.
Not a fancy day spa, but if you are looking to relieve pain this is the place to go.

What a FANTASTIC FANTASTIC massage! The place is small, cramped almost. But the massage $ 110 for 60 minute deep tissue) was quite the treat! They have many other services, and they are happy to help you!

Ok let me start by saying that everyone there was extremely friendly which is why I am giving 2 stars but that’s where it stopped. My Mani and Pedi looked as if it were done by my 10 year cousin. I didn’t notice all the flaws until sometime that evening. You can literally see every coat that was added. She had to redo one toe 3 times because the cotton between each toe was not apploed properly. And to top it off it was $ 85. I was expecting to pay a little more $ 50 — $ 65 but I thought that was crazy. In fact if my nails had come out great I wouldn’t have felt so bad about spending the money.
They basically have just random people in there doing nails, I don’t think they people have had any training. Its like they said you’re hired and o you will be doing nails.

I cannot believe this place charges ‘spa’ prices for a very mediocre pedicure. When I came in I mentioned that I loved a good, firm foot massage and asked if the technician could provide that. They said yes of course. However, the person who was slated to do my pedicure was still working on another customer so someone else was called to ‘start’ my pedicure. She did the whole thing– no one mentioned to her my preference for a strong massage and she was sooooo lah di dah during the pedicure it was almost comical. The massage sucked, the polish was uneven and it was the most costly pedicure I had ever had. The whole while they technicians were ordering their lunches and gabbing about other customers who had dared to complain about this and that.
I would not at all recommend this salon for a pedicure.

If you’re looking for a salon that listens to what you want and delivers — this is NOT your place.
I came in for a wedding makeup trial. I specifically asked for something slightly more than what I normally wear (which is very little). Throughout the process, I reiterated that it shouldn’t be too heavy. The end result was me looking like a Bratz doll*. After allowing her to try again, it was better — but then again, a blind person with a push broom can apply mascara more subtly.
Perhaps the worst part was after I told the proprietor that I wasn’t happy with the makeup, that I was anxiety ridden from the experience — they said basically, «I’m sorry you’re not happy — please pay us the full $ 125 you owe us.» Now, I understand that my appointment took up their time and supplies, and they should be compensated for that — but there was a true lack of customer service and consideration. It was as if they knew I wouldn’t use them for the wedding so they might as well charge me as much as they can now.
My suggestion: if you are looking for someone to do your makeup for the wedding — don’t waste your money here.

In town on vacation, I thought it would be a good place to have my hair done, judging by the reviews I read…
Hairdresser was nice and friendly. I came in with a picture of the hair coloring and styling I wanted to go for (nothing drastic, just a bang trim and some hair lightening for an ombré). The stylist seemed very excited and sounded very experienced… Even other stylists were saying how she is amazing and does fabulous coloring, so I was worked up to trust her.
1. After nearly 2 hours, she said (didn’t ask) she was going to style my hair to see how the coloring came out. I was pleased with the coloring. She «styled» my hair straight, after talked 2 hours about how I have curly hair and would like to style it like the curly-​haired model in the picture I brought… So her «styling» of my halr was not an accurate depiction of her work.
2. Before the appointment, I asked for an approximation of how much the services (trim & ombré) would cost me — they said between $ 80-​$ 120. I confirmed this with my stylist when I got there, and explained to her I was on a budget so to stick with the trim and ombré only. Not only did I not get a full trim (she only trimmed the ends, she didnt trim my bangs OR my layers), but when checking out, I was told I owed $ 260!!! I asked for what, shocked. She had charged me for full highlights ($ 120, ok), color gloss ($ 50, ok), FULL CUT (but I barely got the trim I asked for), hair drying (I was not asked, nor did she warn me it would cost extra), styling (I was not told it would cost extra, AND she didn’t even style it how I wanted it). I felt scammed — not only did I pay double what was discussed, but she did not ASK if I wanted to have dry & style — I would have said no if I was told it would be an extra $ 40!!! And if she had told me I would be charged the full $ 60 for a cut, I would have MADE SURE I got my «complimentary» bang trim!
3. A couple weeks later, I am noticing many flyways and frizz. I should have asked to see the ingredients in the hair color before she used it, but based on how healthy all the stylists’ hair looked, I figured they knew what products are good quality to use that won’t damage. My mistake, because my hair feels more brittle and dry than ever before!
Despite my horrible experience being scammed for a routine hair maintenance, I am giving 2 stars, because at least she didn’t RUIN my hair… I suppose it could have been much worse — I could have been scammed AND receive a horrendous haircut… Instead, I just have a bland /​outgrown layers /​frizz haircut…

I got married on Martha’s Vineyard as a destination wedding in September 2012 coming from the Philadelphia area. I found the Sea Spa Salon by just walking by the Colonial Inn Shops while I was on the island visiting all of our vendors a few months before the wedding. The receptionist was very helpful, she even got Salissa on the phone and put me right on with her. I sent her my hair/​makeup requests for the wedding day and the amount of people in the bridal party (I had to email it because of my being long distance).
I met Salissa and the make up artist, Jen, the day of my trial run. The salon and makeup room is very intimate and the employees are very friendly. I showed Salissa what I wanted for my hair and she did it even better than I imagined. I was very happy with how the make up turned out, too — I looked like a doll!
The day of my wedding I went in with my veil ready to get all dolled up. My sister and my mom also got their hair done by the ladies at Sea Spa Salon and they did a great job. My mom did not know what she wanted walking in but they did a great job creating an up-​do for her. It was so nice to be in such an intimate room with all the up-​dos being done so close to each other — it kept my wedding nerves down having my mom and sister being all put together right there with me instead of all of us in separate rooms.
My photographer was even welcomed into the salon with us to photograph the entire «getting ready» part of my day.
Overall I had a fantastic experience with the ladies at Sea Spa Salon, especially being a destination bride meeting my make up artist and hair stylist the day before my wedding! I highly recommend Sea Spa Salon to any bride wanting an intimate and relaxing hair and make up experience.

This spa is housed in the Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites (formerly the Colonial) right in the middle of Edgartown. The wife and I received wonderful deep tissue massages here and our masseurs were both friendly and professional. The massage was a great way to end a long-​day of bike riding!
The massage rooms were very standard, but due to the layout of the hotel the entire space is small, so there didn’t seem to be much of an extensive waiting room or guest showers, etc. For a hotel-​based spa/​salon, it was wonderful and priced within reason. I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Edgartown.
