LifeSpa

From the time I made my appointment to the time I had my haircut I was amazed at the staff at LifeSpa in Gilbert. I am a Lifetime Fitness member, but never thought of using the other services at the gym. Kalei was amazing, she cut my hair and took more time than anyone who has ever cut my hair! Consulted with me, showed me styles, and made me feel comfortable from the minute she met me! I have had numerous compliments on my hair. Kalei you made me feel fantastic! Lucky to have have found you! Amy S

I get massages done by Lyndee, & I love how I feel after them. She does amazing deep tissue massages! She has strong hands and will work most all knots out. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her.

Lyndee is amazing! Every time I come in she works wonders. She’s professional & makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend her :)

I have had both a haircut and a deep tissue massage here and both were excellent! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The stylist that did my hair was quick, but did a great job. My massage therapist was amazing and I left feeling 10 years younger.
For the quality of service delivered the price is very reasonable too. Highly recommend.

I began seeing Jodi a few months before my wedding in an attempt to clear my face of some long standing acne as well as just improve overall skin tone and appearance. Jodi has taken the time and put a huge amount of effort to find the products, and the technique that will work with my extremely sensitive skin. Over the past several months my skin tone has gotten much improved, and the acne is almost entirely cleaned up. Jodi is a wonderful aesthetician and has gone way above and beyond in her efforts to help me for my wedding.
A bonus to Jodi is she gives great massages during my facials!
Really just a fantastic person, and has fastly become the only person i will ever go to!

This review is for aesthetician Jodi at LifeSpa in Gilbert. I highly recommend going to Jodi. She is extremely skilled at waxing and giving the most wonderful facials. She takes the time to look at your features and shapes your brow to best highlight your eyes and face. I have one stubborn brow that grows quickly and more fully than the other and unlike any other aesthetician she works her magic to make them even and stunning. She is also very personable and peaceful. I always feel so relaxed and beautiful when I leave!

Had a phenomenal facial with Julia! I haven’t felt that pampered and relaxed in a long time! Julia really pays attention to detail and it’s clear she’s very educated and good at determining what your individual skincare needs are. I completely trust her to decide what to do with my skin when I arrive. In addition she’s very personable and makes you feel like you’re a good friend of hers. Can’t wait to schedule again with her!

I went in with the special from spa week for their $ 50 special for deep tissue. The session begin with the free usage of the gym which played very loud rock and roll music which is totally counter to what I am here for which is to relax and get the pain relief that I need. I have specifically asked her to apply deep pressure to my aching shoulder but she have never once check with me during the massage on how I am doing (would you like more pressure or less?) which is a must from a seasoned therapist. Once she reached a knot (I have many challenging ones due to my line of work-​As a massage therapist myself and Casino Dealer), she just simply ignored it which showed lack of professionalism. That said, for someone who prefer light effleurage with the goal of relaxation, that would be the perfect marriage but there is absolutely no excuse for not checking and connecting with the client.
The environment was superb once I got into the treatment room with first class surroundings of tranquilizing music which I truly enjoy from a high caliber spa. For someone who is used to getting their back walked on and have a neuromuscular therapy (Dr. Dalton’s method) as a norm on what I really need in the treatment room, she just simply was way too soft. If she have made a effort and failed, I would not have a problem but no attempt was ever made which is a huge disappointment in my eyes either from the lack of expertise and or fear of finding the magnitude of the treatment that is required to get my ailment remedied. Since I have experience many therapist who have done it and failed, many apologized and I will give them bonus points for trying. After 40 minutes of unsatisfying treatment, I really should have walked out.
The spa director had listened and gave me an extension an offer until the end of this month. The spa director suggested Erin who is the strongest therapist there but when I started to inquire about Erin’s professional background to find out more information of a possibility giving them a second chance. She told me that Erin only have 3 years of experience (I needed someone who is a true master not just a graduate of a massage school with at least 5+ years). It will be hard press for me to return as a customer.

On the suggestion of the other Unilocaler I decided to visit Life Spa because I thought they would be using Aveda color for my highlights. My stylist Monique was very friendly and nice as she informed me that they now use Wella color. Oh well, I was already there so I decided to give it a try. The color was less than spectacular and I had to go back and get more highlights because my lowlights were too heavy. In Monique’s defense it is hard to get my hair right the first time if you haven’t done my hair before. Anyway the results were just so so, even after the retouch. I will try to find a salon that uses actual Aveda color next time. Thanks for reading

My review is mostly for Julia, my waxer. She helped to make my first and subsequent experiences there more comfortable. There is a little private waiting room within the salon/​spa and there is nice music and a small fountain. The girls bring you water while you wait. Maybe tea/​coffee too, but I’m not sure.
I want to go back to get my hair done and possibly get a mani/​pedi. Any girls with me on that one?
I purchased some hair products there too — I recommend the Bumble & Bumble line.

I was shopping one day at Aveda in Chandler Mall and was discussing hair products, etc. with the staff when they informed me of this place. I had no idea that a gym would also offer a full service salon and day spa. Much to my surprise LifeSpa is an Aveda concept salon/​spa meaning that they solely use Aveda products in all of their beauty treatments. If you are familiar with Aveda then you know they are a company based on using pure flower and plant essences.
I booked my hair appointment with hesitation since I had a bad hair experience in the past that always makes me gun shy to try something new. When I arrived I was greeted with a hot cup of the Aveda tea! I love their tea and look forward to it every time I come here or visit the store in the mall. I found the interior to be more organic and natural feeling than I expected (since it’s located inside the Lifetime Fitness Gym). I was introduced to Monique (my stylist) and she actually took the time to do a true consultation about my hair: what I wanted, what I had in the past, short term goals, long term goals, color, texture and on and on. I wanted to put color in my hair and she and I discussed lowlights and highlights. I was very impressed by the amount of time she put into figuring out my hair and what would look best.
When I started going here in winter of 2005 my hair could barely tuck behind my ears and now I have hair that is a few inches below my shoulders! Monique made the hair growing experience less painful than it had to be. She always trimmed and styled my hair according to the stage of growth!
Since 2005 I have moved to the central Phx area but still make the drive out to Gilbert to see her because she is amazing and I have complete trust in her abilities. If you are in the area please check them out. I have not tried any spa treatments there (mainly due to the amount of money I spend on the hair)! I do get low and high lights so the bill usually comes in around $ 120ish but I feel it’s worth it since I only get my hair treated once every 3 months.
FYI: You don’t have to be a member of the gym to use the salon/​day spa.
