I came here because I had gotten a living social deal for a massage, facial, and make up touch up. The facial was actually pretty good and I saw a difference in my skin afterwards(I did the microdermabrasion). But the massage was HORRIBLE! I even paid more to get a deep tissue massage but she did not put any pressure! I ended up asking her for more pressure but did not get any! I was highly disappointed especially since that was the part that I was looking forward to the most. The«touch up» ended up being a lot of makeup and I ended up wiping most of it off when I got in the car. Overall, everyone was really nice but that is not the reason I had gone there. I will not be going back.

I visited a True Spa for the 2nd time this weekend. We had a living social deal where we got a facial, massage, and mani pedi. The first time I went to this spa was almost 2 years ago. The only service I got was a massage and I didn’t get a robe while I waited. This was my only compliant. It seemed to take away from the«spa experience». However, my massage was amazing! One of the best I’ve ever received. I don’t believe that massage therapist is there anymore. So when I went this time I was so excited and figured their services could have only improved since the last time. We arrived and had a very warm and friendly greeting from the front desk. She took us to a small dressing area and told us we could put robes on and store our items in lockers. This dressing area wasn’t much of a spa feeling, more like a dressing room in a department store. We waited in the waiting area for our services to start and were given a refreshing cup of lemon water. The waiting area is nice and relaxing but a bit close to the front of the spa. We were taken back to our services and I received a facial first. I was told it included microdermabrasion and a chemical peel. I opted out of the chemical peel. The facial started and besides the microdermabrasion it didn’t seem like much. She finished with a mask and told me she would be back in 10 minutes. It felt more like 20. I started getting hot from the bed warmer and was ready to be out of that room. Not exactly how you want to feel when you are getting a facial. I then received my massage. The massage therapist talked a lot during my massage. I really really hate it when massage therapists talk during the massage! She was ok, but seemed to do more rubbing of my skin than massaging of my muscles. If I wouldn’t have had the package given to me as a gift, I probably would have been upset to pay for these services. Next was the manicure and pedicure. It was probably the fastest manicure pedicure I’d ever received and was already chipped by that afternoon. Definitely not a SPA mani pedi. More like a mini mani pedi! I have to say the entire staff at a true spa is very nice and accommodating and we did have a completely relaxing and fun spa day. I do like the atmosphere of the spa and it’s very clean, new, and has a relaxing feel to it. We were given as many drinks as we wanted which was also very nice! They had champagne, red, and white wine. Overall, the spa is a good experience, just not the best spa services I’ve ever had, but I guess it could all depend on the staff member you get!

I was a little disappointed after my recent visit to True Spa. The place was beautiful looking but my manicure & pedicure did leave a lot to be desired. I went with a group of girlfriends so it was nice that they did allow us to bring in wine and snacks. When I got home I noticed that the girl did not even push back my cuticles. I was also disappointed when I was almost done with my pedicure that they had offered Shlac which I would of paid more for since it would of lasted much longer. I just felt that overall for this pricey upscale spa that the manicure & pedicure should of been better. I felt that I could of gotten a better manicure/pedicure at a cheaper salon.
