Best

Dearest ESSpa Kozmetika, You have truly changed my outlook on customer service. Every single person that I met was nothing but nice to me while I was there this past Saturday....

Worst

I have visited this salon several times on my own and to renew gift cards. I enjoy going there but everytime I leave, I feel like I paid too much money for the most AVERAGE servic...

Spa "Pre"view 11/16/2009

I am writing a "Pre"view and will write my Review after this Saturday, (11/21/09,) when I will be having my very first facial at the salon. I purchased a gift certificate for a friend and actually received one myself for my own birthday the following week. My first impression was that the place was beautiful and clean. (I was in Hungary a month ago and it really resembled parts of Budapest!) The staff was kind and helpful. I hope the facial is a good one, the prices are high, but I will pay them for quality. I will post my honest feelings and observations next week. Can't wait! Pros: Beautiful surroundings Cons: High Price more

Best Pre-Treament and Facial Spa - Hands Down! 11/16/2009

Eva, the owner of the spa gives an amazing facial, and offers the best in home remedy and home treatment advice while treating you - at no extra cost! My experience with Eva and the other estheticians has always been amazing and I continue to go back. If you sign up for email updates you can even get great insight on their almost weekly specials and receive coupons as well. My only con is with the helpfulness of the front desk staff and their customer service, which I will say has improved over the last 6 months. Pros: Pampered feeling no matter what you are there for Cons: Front Desk customer service more

Best Spa ever! 11/16/2009

I've been going to Esspa since it's inception and am so glad it's being recognized nationally for its excellence. After all these years, I have never been dissappointed with the services and the courteous staff (Karen, you're the best!). Eva, Heather, Robert and all the other professionals there are hightly trained and so good at what they do. I would give it SIX stars if I could!! Pros: Facials, massages and manicures are the best more

Without question the best spa in Pittsburgh. 11/11/2009

Esspa is without a doubt that best spa in Pittsburgh and over the last five years I have probably been to 75% of the spas here. First, it is beautifully decorated. The facial/massage rooms all have different themes and they are all tastefully decorated with richly painted walls and beautiful chandeliers. I relax the moment I walk in. Pedicures are much nicer than those I have had elsewhere. I recommend them. But, I cannot recommend Eva's facials enough. I never realized how much the appearance of your skin can improve with a facial until I went to the owner, Eva. My skin GLOWS after I have one. And she is fantastic and really knows her stuff. I have very clogged skin and she spends a lot of time with extractions which no one ever did before. She's fabulous and she really cares about helping your skin improve. Pros: Best Facial I have ever had, beautiful spa Cons: Pricier than average Pittsburgh spa, but worth it more

Excellent Massages 11/10/2009

I've been to ESSpa twice and the staff has been nothing but friendly and helpful. I think those that have complained of bad customer service have just caught people on a bad day. I've had massages with two different people and while both massages were great, the one I had with Robert ranks right up there with ones I've had in Las Vegas or at Glen Ivy Hot Springs in CA. I can't wait to book some kind of package to experience the other treatments the spa offers. Pros: Convenient, nice atmosphere Cons: None yet more

Nice Massage 10/4/2009

I had a very nice massage by a young lady at this spa. She said she was new there , but had experience in many spa's in Florida, and I wasn't disappointed. The only reason I didn't give my experience 5 stars was I was a little taken aback when she told me she also makes house calls and she could come to my house if I ever needed her to. This made me feel uncomfortable, but overall I really enjoyed my experience. more

Eva vs Eva 10/3/2009

The service was ok, definitely not worth the cost. The girl at the front desk was frustrating and the gentleman there, not sure who he was, was trite to say the least. I found that I can get a better service at Eva Szabo in E. Shady Side. I had gift cards for both places and know now that for future services my money will be well spent at Eva Szabo. Pros: none that i could find Cons: save your money more

A "green spa" that doesn't recycle??? 7/16/2009

I was there for a service and had a bottle of water with me as I was just coming from the gym. I was looking for a garbage can when one of the staff members offered to throw the bottle away for me. I was shocked to say the least when she just dumped the bottle into the little white can next to the manicure desk. When I asked if they recycled the girl answered that they don't have a recycle bin!!! How is THAT green???? Pros: Good services Cons: They are fake green spa more

A perfect day 6/29/2009

My grandmother, daughter and I enjoyed the Three Generation Spa Package yesterday and I just wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for giving us the most wonderful day ! It meant so much to us. We rarely get together to just to enjoy each other and that's exactly what we did on Sunday. All the services that the three of us had were great (especially the facial and massage) and the lunch was perfect. We weren't even in the car before we started to plan our next visit. We will be back soon. Pros: professional and inviting Cons: none that we could see more

Mixed Feelings 6/25/2009

I have had a 4-5 treatments at Esspa. My first treatment was a gift, a facial and a massage. When I booked the appointment, I asked how long the two would take and explained that a had a commitment later in the day. Just my luck, someone was delayed and I had to get only 1 treatment and reschedule the 2nd. They gave me 10% off my 2nd treatment. I'm not sure that was adequate but I dealt with it. In hindsight, 10% off didn't compensate for the inconvenience. I have also experienced some questionable customer service from the middle aged blonde receptionist. She has a bit of a snobby feel to her- I always thought maybe it was because I always book the Eva Saver specials! Regardless, every customer should be treated with the utmost respect no matter how much their service costs. In the end, I continue to book the Eva Saver's because they are such a great deal and the services that I have had are amazing (mainly facials). Heather is especially welcoming. One more comment, I had never used a male masseuse before going to Esspa. I must say that I left feeling a little uncomfortable and will ask not to be with the male from now on. He was good, I was just uncomfortable. Just something to think about if you are looking to book a massage! Pros: Great Services Cons: Mediocre Service more

A wonderful first experience 5/10/2009

Hello, I just have to tell you how wonderful my facial was. My skin feels so much better, it was really thirsty. Heather was so nice, did a terriffic job, and really made it a comfortable relaxing experience. She made my first facial a very special one! I do look forward to treating myself again in the future. Sincerely - Debbie Pros: Comfortable, relaxing, very professional Cons: Can't think of any more

Terrible Customer service 5/9/2009

I purchased an early bird petite pedicure just to start off my day prior to going into work. I thoroughly enjoyed my pedicure and even decided to purhase some skincare products upon recommendation from the spa consultant. The blond lady at the front desk was very aloof and curt when checking me in and out. Upon entering the spa I was told to wait in the waiting room and was not offered a beverage. An older lady (40's)who entered after me was offered tea, coffee, water and the blond lady even served it to her. I am not sure whether it had to do with my age (20's) but this disparity in service was rather obvious. Furthermore, the same blond lady overcharged me for my skincare products at the checkout and I ended up paying $20 more on top of the tip that I left ($30 in total). I had already corrected her once on the discount for the early bird and did not realize being overcharged until afterwards. Although I've already contacted the spa I have not heard back and highly doubt that I will. Although the services are great I do agree with the other reviews that the front desk staff is TERRIBLY RUDE and unprofessional. I believe that they need further training on customer service/satisfaction as well as the prices for the services and products in order to prevent overcharging customers. Pros: Good Services Cons: Rude front desk more

Spectacular!! 4/19/2009

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had at Esspa. The spa and its employees are elegant in presentation. The second I walked thru the door I knew I was about to be transported to pamper-land. I was scheduled with Eva for a facial. I was so looking forward to a little relaxing and I absolutely got more than I expected. I have had facials before but this was the best one ever. The room was so inviting. The facial chair, if you can call it a chair, more like a flufy marshmallow to relax in, was heated and the blankets more plush than anything I have ever seen. There was even a ribbon draped over the cover!! Eva attended to me as though I were a queen. In every other facial I have had there is a time when the facialist leaves while the masque is on. Not Eva, she massaged my arms and hands and feet. I think at one point I actually started to fall asleep. I felt as though a life long friend was taking special care of me and Eva made me feel as though I was the most important thing to her. Today was my second visit with many more to come. If you are looking for the ultimate pampering experience with an elegant atmosphere you need to try Esspa. When you come, look for me! I'm the one with the big smile on my very happy face!!! Pros: Outstanding service and treatments Cons: That I eventually had to leave. more

I didn't want to leave 4/1/2009

I was in to have a facial done on Sunday. I just had to write and let you know how wonderful everything was! I have been to other spas in the past and never went back. At Esspa, I didn't want to leave. It was perfect from beginning to end...I can't wait for my next appointment! Thanks Again! - Sarah Pros: Attentive, Professional, Amazingly Relaxing Cons: absolutely nothing more

great massage and terrible customer service 3/9/2009

My husband bought me a gift certificate for a birthday massage at and I can't complain about that. It was wonderful. But even though I was on time I had to wait almost 30 minutes with no apologies from anyone. The service was just curt and at this price that is unacceptable. It certainly put a damper on my special day and I will be taking my business elsewhere. Pros: good massage Cons: bad customer service more

Amazing couples treatments 3/2/2009

My friend and I got massages on Valentine?s Day, and we both agree that they were amazing, relaxing and soothing. Not only were the masseuses great, but from the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by professionalism, kindness and genuine warmth. We?ll definitely be returning to esspa! Thank you so much! - Tara Pros: very professional, sincere and kind, happy and quick to help more
