Sahana Spa

So sad to see it go. I can still see remember my first visit. It was so intriguing with lush robes, thick warm thirsty towels; exotic scents in the air, dim candle light, warm sweet spice tea, cool lemon water, decadent furnishing, and the staff pampered you. I thought this was as close as I will get to the Taj Mahal. I was hooked but as time passed so do the service and amenities. At one visit the front desk said to me, «you know the drill». I was so disappointed! I still went back but I saw the decline with each visit. Sahana, you were a landmark and enriched Montclair with your beauty charm and presence. Gone but not forgotten…
A 5 star for old time sake!

Hi,
I have a gift card for here. How can I get my money back?
Thanks,
Jenelle

Help! I have a gift certificate here. I emailed the company and haven’t heard a response.

I was very pleasantly surprised by my experience at Sahana. Typically, spas that use groupons to find new clients are not worth the effort — I’ve had a few bad experiences. Sahana was very well kept through and through. I had a Swedish massage and although Mandy was at times rough, I liked that she wasn’t afraid to really work on my trouble areas. My favorite part was when I walked into the room and a basin of hot water was waiting for me to soak my feet!
One star off for location — while it’s a prime spot in terms of its proximity to the nice shops and restaurants, for out-​of-​towers like myself it is frustrating to find parking. I parked two blocks away in a lot.

ok I Get wax Brazilian: X Which is very painful but I Enjoy My time here I love My Lady Jessica so nice & we are always chatting up a storm… Love this spa Realxing & Descent Pricing

This spa is quite beautiful! I had a mani/​pedi and facial and neither was that great, though. They’re nothing more than average and for the same price, I have had better at other spas. The staff was very friendly, though!

Excellent Swedish massage with Tracey. Thoroughly relaxing spa environment and facilities. Luxe robe, comfortable slippers, and secure locker provided. Massage was very firm and just what my extremely tense muscles need. Lavender essential oil enhanced relaxation. Will definitely be back and request Tracey.

Immaculate spa with attentive and competent staff. My massage therapist was a true professional and gave me an amazing aromatherapy massage. The rustic Indian décor and tranquil ambiance were perfect. I cannot wait to return.

I went back for my Nirvana Manicure, apart of my spa package from the holiday. I really enjoyed the manicure done by Jessica.

I just had a massage here with Danielle who I thought was great! The reason it’s 4 stars not 5 was because the receptionist was not very nice or helpful. She gave me a condescending look when I handed her my gift certificates… so unnecessary since I was being so nice to her, whatever would still go back!

Recently had some waxing done by Kate and she did an awesome painless job! My skin was smooth and didn’t break out like i’ve had in previous places. Place was legit, very clean and atmosphere was relaxing. The receptionist was really nice too! Will definitely be coming back. I live 30 mins away but well worth it!

I went in for a massage after a pretty rough week, awesome decision. Between the steam showers and the deep tissue massage, probably the most relaxing evening I’ve had in a while. I would highly recommend this place.

Got a mani-​pedi at this place. The staff at front were super nice and accommodating. The décor was beautiful! Looks as if you stepped into another world upon entering. Pretty refreshing after coming in from the hustle and bustle of Bloomfield ave.
I was serviced by Luz. Very pleasant technician. She spoke english well and made an effort to engage in conversation. She did a great job on my nails and feet. Not sure what prioduct she used as a top coat, but my manicure lasted for weeks and weeks! Usually I start to chip or smuudge before I even leave the salon, even with the most expensive of products!
My only complaint is that that the service chairs are extremely uncomfortable! Especially if you are taller than 5’7. They do not recline and they are awkward to sit in. It makes for a beautiful and chic look, but not exactly practical for a relaxing experience.
Also, if you dont have a Groupon or something be prepared to spend $$$$. Their prices are up there! I must add for an Indian themed salon/​spa I was diappointed that they did not offer threading services .
Other than that I enjoyed my experience.

When your birthday is on a Wednesday and all of your friends live and work in the city, you may decide to do a little something for yourself and have a spa day in the burbs. This is probably not the wisest decision if you chose Sahana.
My day consisted of a facial, a massage and a mani/​pedi. To start, the woman that did my manicure and pedicure was fantastic and very sweet. It’s a shame though that the nail salon portion of the spa is in close proximity to the entrance — separated by only a curtain– so even though I was trying to relax, I could hear loud conversations in the lobby.
After the somewhat positive experience, things just went downhill. My masseuse was nice enough, but her massage was very rough. I’ve had other massages before, so I know that this was a deep tissue massage that I did not order.
The situation became precipitously worse with the facial. I had a Groupon for Microdermabrasion, so I didn’t expect much. However, what I got instead was a very angry, violent aesthetician. She scraped parts of my face I didn’t know I had, and tried to sell me products that made me feel old. «Hey it’s my birthday, be gentle!», I felt like crying.
Considering how beautiful and chic the place looks from the outside, I was very disappointed. I guess with age you learn not to judge a book by its cover.

So very expensive but Tamara does great work and is a sweetheart.

I love a good reasonably priced massage (with Linda) love a great facial (with Tamara or Meghan). Nice and clean friendly spa!

1^st visit:
Came here in June to use my Groupon for a mani & pedi. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. The nail files and buffers were used! I don’t know about you but when I go to a higher end spa, I expect them to have new nail files and buffers for each client. For that reason alone, I will never get my nails done here ever again.
2^nd visit:
Came here last week to use another Groupon for a 75 min microdermabrasion facial. My appointment was for 11am. The esthetician picked me up 5 mins late. Which I’m ok with that… just don’t shorten my time bacause you were late. When she was done it was 12:05 pm. I was not happy that she shorten my facial 15 mins.
When I went to the front desk to give the coupon, I asked how long my facial was for and she said 75 mins. I told her I didn’t recive the full amount of time and all she said was «Oh, I’m so sorry.» That’s it, I waited to see if she was going to accommodate me in some way… nope! she didn’t say anything else. REALLY?! I guess they didn’t care because I paid already and it was with a Groupon. This is not a way to run a business. You don’t cheat a client of their time and say «Oh, I’m so sorry.» I will never come back here.

my mom and i have been here several times for massages, facials, and mani/pedis…the bathroom, locker room, and showers are always spotless… the treatments are pretty good… an overall very relaxing atmosphere… my mom always feels great afterwards and cant wait to go back… negatives: it seems like there is always a different girl at the reception desk… also, parking meters outside only run for 1 hour at a time so last time i was there i was worrying the whole time about possibly running out of time and getting a ticket… luckily i didnt.

Thank god I had a groupon and didn’t have to pay full price! Got a mani-​pedi. They used all organic products. This is one area of primping that you don’t want organic.
Not 24 hours later and polish from hands AND feet have begun to peel away! This without doing anything! Not even dishes!
To make matters worse, they were painted red. Trying to get the rest of what did not peel off has been a real chore. Plus the product has actually stained my nails!

Have been there 3 times. Cute place for a local spa treatment. It’s cute and hip, I don’t love it tho. Last time I was there I had a body scrub and I didn’t feel like it was worth the price. I was with someone else that had a pedicure, and that was a bad idea at a spa bc it’s such a waste of money, especially in this area.
The person giving me my spa treatment talked about herself the whole time, and that was annoying. I’m not the type of person to ask someone to stop talking, but I wish she would’ve picked up on my ‘not into you’ vibe.
I’ll go back for sure, but maybe just for a facial or massage.
