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.

Read More On Citysearch plants123 2/3/2010 - Amazing facial and pedicureI 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!

I recently got a facial at the spa and was very impressed with the advice I received about my face during it. I had a lot of questions answered. Overall, I had a wonderful day.

Read More On Citysearch suelynn 1/28/2010 - Relax and EnjoyI 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.
Read More On Citysearch K9L 1/28/2010 - Consistent, Friendly, and DiverseThis 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. The coloring was done so poorly that on the right side of my head the grey was not covered at all from the bottom of my forehead to around my ear about a inch into the hair ...

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 went here for highlights and lo-lights. Can I just say that I haven't been back, and don't ever plan on it? For almost $180, I looked like a plain jane. Nothing that popped with the color I got -- I cried when I finally walked to the stupid parking garage where my car was parked, paid another $10 to leave the garage, sat in traffic to get home, etc...
Never again.

It is a little harder to find since it is not a "storefront" spa, but it adds to the general ambience to over look a park vs. a street. The last pedicure I had there was wonderful. And I am always pleased with my highlights - never the streaked look. I even used their services on...
