The Sewickley Spa

I don't know what the mixed reviews are about.... I had an incredible massage and it was very reasonable in price. In addition, the staff is very professional, experienced, and obviously trained well. I will not hesitate to go back! (In fact my next massage is next month....lol) Make sure you plan for about 15 minutes before and after whatever you get done so you have some extra relaxing time. They will not rush you out! more

Things never change as this company hires fly-by-night staff who have little to no experience in the industry. An embarassment to use the word "spa" in their name. the only thing relieved during our visit was our wallet. FYI: Westmoreland County Dorothy Andreas Floro and JoJo A. Marengo, t/d/b/a The Sewickley Spa, license nos. CB106086L and CT012360L of Ligonier, Westmoreland County, were ordered to pay a civil penalty of $300 because of several violations, including that the salon was not managed by the salon owner or a licensed person in charge designated by the owner.

Two of us recently visited this spa for the first time, and found it to be great. The employees we had were accommodating and skilled. We both agreed we got excellent facials and pedicures. We have paid more in other places, for far less quality. The building is full of character and history, and it was very clean the day we were there. The art and furnishings were of better quality than we have seen yet. I read the other reviews here, and could not help but wonder if we were in the same place. The other clients we talked to that day all seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were. We thought they did the best job of making us feel comfortable. There was no pretense that happens in some places, just great service. We are going back with another friend in a few months. The only down side was that we had to wait a few weeks for a Saturday appointment, but is was worth the wait. more

I had a private party with ten ladies from the region. We had an amazing time. My manicure was fantastic! The other ladies were very happy with their treatments as well. I felt like a princess!! Highly recommended. more

My inital call for my 1st appointment, was met with--almost an afterthought of a gracious reminder that if one wishes to tip one's therapist, that it would be cash or check separate from payment for the spa services. Okay, not an issue. Entering on appointment day for some much-needed bliss and r&r, on the "client intake" forms filled out--again, in black and white, spelling out terms for you to tip your therapist, & how much to tip according to services rendered. Bristling, I decided--okay, they have to educate the public, but any adult receiving services of any type in this world is aware that tipping is a compliment, that it is encouraged, and is welcome, but is NOT mandatory. Post massage session, which was competent, but nothing out of this world or exemplary, the front desk gal informed me in no uncertain terms--brightly flashing a smile, that they have envelopes available for me to place my tip in for my therapist. Gritting my teeth, I did so. But never again will I allow myself to be harangued into tipping for services. Lest you think this is just "sour grapes" on my part, I myself am a 16 year ABMP C.M.T. in private practice; the total number of times I've "informed" any client, new or otherwise, of tipping? Zero. more

I recently had a spa treatment during spa week where the prices are discounted on certain services. I booked a facial and a massage. I took the day off work to have a nice relaxing day. My massage was shorter than the time specified and not relaxing at all. It was cold in the room, the table was uncomfortable, the girl did not use the bolsters for under your knees and ankles which relieves pressure from your back while you are on the table. The room was lacking in luxury. An old water jug was used to get water into the towel warmers?? That should be hidden? don't you think???!! I don't want to see things like that. I have had many great massages and this was not one of them. My Facial is another story. My facial was after my massage and I waited about 25 min on the table for the girl to come and do my facial. The lady was very nice and did an okay job on the facial. But they ask you to fill out paper on what products you are currently using and what you are seeing a dermatologist! I filled out and indicated prescription acne cream that i am on. The girl didn't ask me before she started my facial... she didn't ask me until half way through and said she had never heard of the acne cream that i was on when i told her. So she never read the information sheet that i filled out before my services started. The neck shoulder and arm massage that you get with a facial was really bad and only lasted about 5 min. Two hours after my facial by skin started to burn and by the end of the night looked like i had severe sunburn on my cheeks and side of my face. Also anything i touched to my face burned so badly that i had to try and wash it off my face immediately. It lasted two days like that. The third day it started to peel and was very very dry and sensitive. I wrote an email asking why that may have happened and expressed that i was concerned that they did not know what the acne cream i was on. I just wanted to know what may have cause that reaction. They never emailed me back. No concern what so ever for what happened to my face. I will never go back that that spa. There may other nicer spas in the area and i will be attending La Pomponnee from now on that is a great spa! I highly recommend that spa! more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ALL I CAN SAY! RUDE PEOPLE. NOT WORTH IT! You can go to many other places and get better service for less money. more

On 9/1/07, I went to this spa for a massage. I enjoyed it very much. The service and atmosphere were very accomidating and it was very relaxing. After I was finished, I left the spa and proceded to my vehicle. My battery had died! One of the employees of this spa handed me her car keys and gave me directions to the nearest automotive store. I was shocked. I live on hour north of this spa. I went to the store, got a new battery and returned to the spa. I thanked her and offered her some money for the loan of her car and for the gas I had used. She refused. I then opened my hood and was trying to figure how to change my battery. A man was in his vehicle outside the spa. He asked to help. I didn't refuse. He removed my old battery and put the new one in. He was waiting for his wife. She worked at the same spa!!! I thanked him and offered him some money for helping me. He said no just like the girl who lent me her car. I was impressed with the spa because of the way they treat you while you're their client. But I was astonished with the spa when I left!!! They took care of me even after I had paid for my service, tipped the employee and left the building. These people went above and beyond anything that I had ever expected. They have great hearts, too!!!! more

I received a gift that included 1 hour massage as well as a 1 hour facial. When I arrived I I was advised to change into a robe which they provided. I then sat in a room with 4 other women and waited for my name to be called. No one guided me through what I was to expect. They provided cookies, water, tea and cake. I was called and walked up the stair of creepy old house to then get ready for my massage. The massage therapist began my massage at 4:08 and was done at 4:38. What happened to the hour long massage??? I waited in the dark room for about 15 minutes until I was then greeted by the woman who was doing my facial. The staff was very friendly. The massage was just the woman putting some oil substance on and very gently waving her hands over me. Barely a massage. Very dissapointed. The woman who did my facial took long breaks in between things. i was with her for about 40 minutes, But with many boring breaks in between. I walked downstairs to check out only to be harrassed by staff waiting around for a tip. I am upset that I waisted my time there. All the hype and a very poor result. ladies don't waste your money. Pros: water was chilled and had fresh lemons Cons: what a waste more

Sophistication, atmosphere, this spa is the creme de le creme. I have had six star service on cruises, and this is the only place that this type of service is offered in the spa venue. I felt not only pampered, but dignified as well. You can't go wrong here. Organics, wellness, whole person treatment, just give it a try, you will love it. more
