Greenleaf Day Spa

The spa is a very beautiful and the staff was very warm and friendly. I am here from out of town and was able to get an Appointment on very short notice. Kelly made me feel very comfortable and was kind and professional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who was fortunate enough to live locally or just passing through town such myself.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I’ll take you through my entire experience: I arrived at 8:30 for a 9:00 facial appointment, and Greenleaf was closed. I wouldn’t make my appointment that early again. In all fairness, on the spa’s website they list their opening time as 9:00. However, I’m accustomed to arriving early (usually about 15 minutes, but I overestimated the time it would take to drive there) so I can relax a little prior to receiving the service. Today, I spent my relaxation time standing outside the door.
At about 8:45, a couple arrived. The man was nice, but the woman seemed tired and only smiled weakly as she passed me. She didn’t invite me in, but I followed her anyway, anxious to sit down inside. I handed her a SpaFinder gift certificate, printed from an email, and she said she didn’t know how to process it and had never seen one before. I wasn’t sure what to say, and she asked me to have a seat in the waiting area, where I could hear very clearly her discussion with a SpaFinder representative, to whom she expressed concern over the reimbursement for my visit.
Next I was ushered to another room for my facial. Though it is not pivotal in my experience, I am a fan of good ambiance. Unfortunately, this room didn’t really have any. There were two large, dark stains on the ceiling tiles above me, and I felt really tense. When the woman entered to do my facial, she didn’t ask me anything about my skin. (I’ve been to three other spas for facials, and I’ve always received a consultation and enjoy that part of the visit.) The facial itself, though, was nice. I only wish the woman hadn’t scrubbed my face so hard with the towels… and the steam she used to open my pores was directed too sharply at my nose and mouth, making it a little difficult to breathe comfortably. In any case, she did a good job with extractions, and I liked the mask she used. It was evident she was also trained in massage therapy. Perhaps my favorite parts of the facial were when she massage my neck, shoulders, and hands.
After the facial, the woman seemed much nicer. It is entirely possible she is just not a morning person. Anyway, I can’t decide if I want to return there or not. Greenleaf might be a better place to patronize for massages and waxing.
