Spa J

Julie is amazing! I recently purchased a groupon for a 55 minute facial, and I’m SO glad I chose spa J. I was planning on just getting a groupon because I was over due for a facial and it was local and convenient, but after my visit I know I will be returning back. Julie is passionate about skincare and really takes the time to explain your skin and what is best for you. I definitely recommend going to see her, I will definitely be back!

My first experience here was over 5 years ago. I received a gift card while I was attending a college nearby and had an excellent facial by Julie.
I then went to other places near my house, some that were found on Groupon and other spas that cost nearly $ 120 for a hour long facial, and not one place compared to Spa J.
There is something to be said about owners who do the work themselves. Julie is truly passionate about her work, never pushes to sell products, and really cares more about her client being satisfied than making money. I would recommend her to anyone; it will be worth your visit.

The facials are pricey but worth it because Julie is amazing. She is very knowledgeable about skin care and her recommendations are based on what’s best for you, not for her to make more money. It’s a very relaxing experience and she does a great job clearing up my skin.
I also had a relative who went to her with skin problems and she was able to provide a great facial along with product recommendations and my family member has much better skin now. I’m so glad I found her.
Spa J is a great place to go if you want quality facials. You usually need to book an appt a week in advance.

I went to Spa J for Lipossage which was offered as an introductory deal. I had a great experience there. I love Julie! She is is very knowledgeable, she spent time explaining the procedure and setting the right expectations. After taking 4 intro sessions I bought the rest of the package. Julie was always flexible to accommodate my busy schedule even around holidays. Also, she is very honest and never pushed any other products or services. And the prices of the spa are very fair. I am returning there for other treatments.

I went here on a Groupon for a 55 minute massage. The spa/​salon itself was nice enough. The staff was pleasant and helped me immediately upon entering. I was taken to the back of the salon to change into a robe and slippers for my relaxing 55 minute escape. It all started out well. Problem is, the massage area is right next to the salon’s shampoo area and the walls between the two areas are not sound proof. So for the entire duration of my «relaxing» massage, I heard clients and their stylists talking and laughing while rinsing dye out of their hair. On top of that, the employee fridge must also be in the back «spa» area because the door kept opening and closing and people were back there shuffling and crinkling wrappers and papers on and off throughout the massage.
And I personally thought the lights in the spa area were turned up too high. A massage should take you away but it’s hard to have that happen when lights are glaring down on you like you are being interrogated. The masseuse was a little too light in her touch even after I told her she could work deeper and she kept stubbornly trying to get out this one knot in my shoulder even after I told her she was hurting me and it was fine for her to move on. The entire time I was trying to figure out how much longer I had to lay there not being relaxed.
When it was finally over, I asked the girl at the front desk if I could put my tip on a credit card. She told me only if I made a purchase so I started to look at some of their hair products and she told me that was a «separate» business so I could only purchase from the spa. Ok, so I’ll purchase yet another uncomfortable massage so I can leave a tip for this unpleasant experience? No, thanks.
Overall, I can see why they felt the need to offer massage services through Groupon. People in town probably already know what the deal is there so they had to draw in outsiders for an unrelaxing but affordable «spa» experience.
