  13. Superior Service and Talent
    The staff at Spa Uptown are the most talented I've had the opportunity to experience. Their vast knowledge of hair and skin care reigns supreme among their industry colleagues. You will be treated with VIP service and once you've visited, you will have no desire to go anywhere other than Spa Uptown.

  14. Need a massage? Ask for Tiya!!
    If you want a great massage to relax your muscles and mind Spa Uptown is the place. Ask for Tiya. She is fabulous! I've been to a number of spas. Tiya is highly skilled, consistent, professional and attentive. She has even given me tips to keep my body well stretched and healthy. She's great. I've recommended her to my family and friends.

  16. Amazing facial and pedicure
    I had a facial followed by a pedicure. I was with the same technician Erin, who was a doll. She was patient with me answering all my pesky questions about my skin and educating me on skincare. I've never had a better facial or pedicure! She used this callus remover cream that worked miracles, I've never had anyone use anything like that!

  18. Relax and Enjoy
    I went for a paraffin manicure and pedicure in the beginning of January. I loved it! They had coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies available. The staff was curious and knowledgeable. I came in with calloused feet and broken nails and left soft, smooth and polished. Even better, they melted my stress away. Check it out! Spa Uptown provides a high class experience at a reasonable price.

  19. Consistent, Friendly, and Diverse
    This is a great overall salon. I first encountered Spa Uptown under its former name over 25 years ago. I have been a loyal customer since. My children have been clients from the time of their first haircut (my twin boys are now 14). What makes this place great for us is that they can and do serve our entire family. Izear is not just talented but he is genuinely a wonderful person. We enjoy ...

    I had m hair styled and colored - the coloring was free because I was ay first time customer. Geri was recommended and I received one of the poorest hair cut/styles ever with a razor cut and no shaping of my strairght har.

    I would recommend this place to any of my friends or family! I got a facial, body scrub with a vichy shower, and a polish change (which was more like a mini-pedicure!) all done by Erin. All of the staff there was so professional and nice! Prices are very reasonable

    Spa-Uptown is absolutely the salon to rely on to look your best! As a salon and spa-goer at Spa-Uptown for over 2 years, I can assure you that I have never been disappointed with their service, staff, or the overall experience.

    I just recently had highlights put in my hair at Spa Uptown and they did an awesome job!
