I just received a wax service, massage and scalp massage at Spa Studio. The waiting area is a big part of a day spa experience for me and their area sort of fell short. The ambiance was nice and they had a good assortment of refreshment choices, but it is only separated from the front reception area by a veil, so it is not very secluded and quiet. The chairs are not really relaxing either, but it's pretty.
The changing room is a small room with a few lockers. Not very inviting. The shower, restroom and amenities are in another room. Again, it's just a personal preference of mine that there be a nice changing area that includes all the amenities.
The services also left much to be desired. I've had waxing done several times and the technician has only had to "wax and pull" one time. It took three painful times. The massage felt rushed and aggresive. When I say aggresive I don't mean that it was deep. I mean that the simple action of turning my head to the side should be smooth and gentle, which it wasn't.
I'll probably give the spa another chance for a quick massage, simply because it's close to home and there might be better technicians available, but I would not use it for an indulgent little get-away.
Pros: Good location
Cons: Not very tranquil, poor services
