Insider Tips
Look GoodDetox services are good for your insides, but any wrap you get will only have a temporary effect on your outer appearance. A wrap is great for a quick slim-down before a party, but it's not a long-term solution.
Know Before You GoThere's no locker room, so no need to disrobe publicly.
The ExtrasThey'll cater a treatment around your request. Prices are better than competitive: Many treatments cost less here.

My experience at this spa was appalling. My husband got me an expensive spa package to celebrate the birth of our second child. He was told upon purchase that I would be treated like a queen for a day. Not for a minute! My "60-minute massage" was a 45-minute sort of "rub-down" experience that my 10-year-old niece could have performed better. I think the masseuse took a week-long training class in massage therapy. She was clearly bored by the whole thing. The body wrap was even worse, given to me by a woman who didn't have a clue what she was doing. It was cold, claustrophobic, and not the least bit soothing! The experience was neither enjoyable nor relaxing. The woman basically just bounced between me and her other clients. She was actually trying to be nice, but couldn't manage her task. Overall, the people were not unfriendly, but nothing worked for me. The space was lit with fluorescent lights, there was minimal ambience, the staff seemed unenthusiastic, and the prices were high. I'd give this place a miss until they make some efforts toward improvement!
Pros: none I can think of - decent magazine selection?
Cons: uncomfortable body wrap, weak massage, run-down environment

The stylist was very nice and my hair looked good when I left (from the front). When I washed it later I discovered that I'd been walking around all day with a couple of strands that were several inches longer than the rest in the back! Upon examination in the bathroom mirror I discovered that the back was not even at all! I should also point out that I don't have a very complicated hairstyle--a blunt bob! I was very disappointed at spending $40 for an uneven haircut.
Pros: good parking, friendly staff
Cons: poor cut
