Ambiance Day Spa

Located on the premises of the Member Only Claremont Club, the Ambiance Day Spa is actually opened to the public for anyone to use. I used to spend quite a bit of time at the Claremont Club over the past 10 years and I would occasionally stop into the Day Spa for hair appointments, massage, nails, or other services. I’ve always had great customer service at the front desk and have been pleased with my services here. Tonight was no exception. My shoulders and neck were tight and I had a headache and while in the area I called and made a last minute appointment for a quick 15 minute $ 15 chair massage with Travis. Oh my was it good. I was expecting him to work on my tight shoulders, but instead, he found pressure points in my back which obviously needed some attention. I could tell right away he knew what he was doing. He also did a little of gentle stretching of my neck and arms which seemed to help. After 15 minutes I felt the tension melt away and felt much better. I will be booking an another appointment with him in the near future for sure when I have more time to focus on a longer massage.
The Day Spa is clean and somewhat modern but small. No Jacuzzi or steam room in the spa since the club has all of those amenities, just your basic spa/​salon services done well.

Let me start by saying, Hannah is amazing. She has been doing my hair for almost 2 years now, and she knows what she’s doing. I love her, and would love it even more if she worked somewhere else. The other women who work at that location are so catty. They gossip about each other, talk crap about their clients. It is a toxic environment, but they have a few damn good people working there. Shame.

I enjoy walking into this salon as I am greeted by name each time by the lovely gals at the counter. This salon fits all your needs. The reception area has makeup, tons of hair products, unique jewelry, gift items, etc. The nail salon area has upscale, comfortable chairs, and is quiet. The massage area is out of this world fabulous!
Of course, I love the hair salon area with Brenda being my personal favorite! She will not go crazy on your hair, yet will offer suggestions and always delivering what you desire. I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair, Thank you, Brenda!
All the staff are professional and kind. YAY!

I’ve been coming here for about 10yrs now! Adele Podaca is my go to gal! You have to appreciate the relationship you develop with your esthetician! After all, you are fully exposed My Dr actually recommended this place and I haven’t been anywhere else! I laugh through the glorious pain and enjoy the time during our appointment! Hubby is always happy with Adele’s work! Winner everytime!
In addition, the establishment is clean and organized! The girls in the front are always helpful! Thank you ALL for taking good care of me!!!

I had such a great experience today, Stephanie matched my makeup perfectly and everyone was so friendly, will definitely be going back for additional services, such great customer service.

I have been here a few times. They are super friendly here. They have the best massage therapist around. Angela gives the best massages around. I have had massages done by her for over 5 years. No one around is close to her. Don’t waste your time or money with anyone else. Go see Angela!!!

I made an appointment at this spa for Valentine’s Day. It was a «couples» appointment for one of the packages offered. My sister and I were spending the day together and wanted to enjoy our massages, facials, manicures and pedicures together. Long story short, the person I booked the appointment with did not set the appointment as a «couple» appointment. We didnt want to receive the services separately, hence the reason for requesting the appointment as a «couple.» My sister and I drove more than an hour and a half to get to the spa and to spend the day together. After being told there was nothing they could do to accommodate us, even though we were spending more than $ 260, we decided to leave. As we were leaving I was told they usually charge for last minute cancellations. Thank God they didnt have my credit card information on file. They would have tried to charge me for a mistake they made. This was our first and LAST visit to this spa.

Angela gave me the most amazing massage of my life. As a, hairstylist, nobody hits the problem areas like her. Not to mention she’s so sweet and a true professional

I have had incredible service from every provider that has worked on me at Ambiance!
Chelsie does my hair and she is absolutely FANTASTIC! Qann & Amy have done truly pink and white acyclic as well as gel nails for me and they always turn out BEAUTIFUL! All the estheticians & massage therapists are so caring, knowledgeable and talented!
I usually book last minute so I have met all of them and I am always impressed!

Just got a massage from Amy after I’ve been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my lower back for the past week. Amy did a great job, she was very thorough in my problem areas and the overall massage just felt amazing! I feel so relaxed and my lower back feels so much better. After the massage, Amy even took the time to show me a stretch that she thought would help my lower back. She is so thorough, nice and professional, I highly recommend her!

This review is strictly for Casey my massage therapist. She was wonderful. She asked questions before we started as I was there on advice from my Chiropracter. She really hit the target areas. As much as it was uncomfortable at times she did what was needed making sure I was always doing ok with the pressure. She topped it off with some biofreeze to help the discomfort in my back. Thank you Casey. I’ll be back!

This is a review for Chelsea the stylist. I know providers hate coupons but this is how I typically find a stylist when looking. Simply put she gave me a style for a «buy one get one free option» and when she offered to extend the coupon till I had another event I jumped at that! I thought“how nice!” But when I showed up for the appointment two months later she walked me back to her station only to tell me she couldn’t honor the coupon. I can certainly afford the 40 $ but it felt like a set up. I was so disappointed since I have two small children and getting a hairstyle for date night is a real boon. She really made no effort to make it up to me just shrugged and said sorry! I really was disappointed in her first style so I can’t recommend her. My experience isn’t one that I ever want to repeat. Not the greatest communicator which isn’t great in any business!

This review is especially for stylist/​colorist Molly, but also this is a great salon. Years ago I had the good fortune to go to Molly as my other stylist was unable to take me — I found a true artist! Her hair cutting is superb; expertly crafting and shaping the hair into a style that just works and looks good flat or curled. Her hair coloring is expert — getting the best hue and knowing what goes with what skin tones — and she can do the crazy stuff, too. No need for the likes of Beverly Hills and the celebrity stylists — we have Molly (and the entire team at Ambiance Day Spa :-)

My wonderful masseuse Amy left Massage Envy in Claremont, to come here so… I came to see her new digs. I had been here before and pondered using the place more often now that Amy was here. The thing I don’t like about Ambiance is that I NEVER get the impression that my business is valued by the receptionist nor the snobby atmosphere of the ladies inside of the salon (while you walk through)
It still is expensive and for the money I expect them to treat you as if your presence is appreciated that goes across the board from the moment you walk in through the end of your massage when you are paying your bill.
So if you are not a member of the Claremont Club or a part of the «in the know» be prepared for perhaps the awkward feeling when you arrive, but put that behind you and make an appt with Amy she is AWESOME!!! and I miss her dearly at Massage Envy but wish her well at Ambiance. BTW when I went there I was a bit confused because apparently they already had a Amy there so my Amy had to change her name here to avoid confusion with the other masseuse… she is now known by «Jaimy» =[ yea I’ve worked at many places that had multiple Pam’s in Sales before, and granted I was the person who had been there the longest, we just added our last initial to our tags.
BTW you can hear the noise from the Salon still (sometime)

If you are looking for great hair color, a wonderful cut or even just a lovely scalp massage, you must go see Carly!!! She is amazing and you will always leave happy! I have been seeing her for years now and wouldn’t change that for anything!

I’ve been coming here for years for my mani/​pedi with Lisa S. She’s the best! I took a few years off due to my work schedule. I called last year and found out that Lisa was seeing clients on Sundays… Yay! I’ve returned and am so happy. I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer at least 40 times a day. I power walk 6 miles several days a week. Lisa keeps my hands and feet looking and feeling pretty. She’s very gentle. Everyone here is very professional. The salon is clean, the atmosphere is relaxing. It’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.
I wish massage therapist Sojin M. was still here. Where are you Sojin?

I come here ALL the time for waxing and shampoo/​blowdry/​style!
Allison & Devon: recommend for waxing
Devon: makeup application
Hannah/​Melinda/​Valery: shampoo/​blowdry

Ask for Alexis for hair! She has been doing my hair for a few years now and always does an amazing job! Stephanie is also wonderful for make-​up and facials.

I believe in love at first color! I came here with my mom for my 21^st birthday and this spa took amazing care of us. My mom had a massage and her nails done, both which she was pleased with. I had my hair colored ombré style by Molly and she was amazing and a sweet as can be, she is the only hair dresser that has taken the time to understand what I want. Same goes for Marlene, who did my mani/​pedi, she was very very GOOD, very professional yet chill to talk to — we chit chatted the whole time-​. The price tag isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for. I am definitely going back.

I am going on a trip and after 2 kids back to back, I hadn’t gotten a Brazilian Bikini Wax in a while. The lady I used to use moved to a location way to far away and I wanted something locale.
I found this place on Unilocal and picked it because of the great reviews. The place is nice and clean and the only downside is that they are inside a place called the Claremont Club and it’s a little hard to find (it doesn’t look like a salon on the outside).
I got my wax from a bubbly and very friendly girl named Allison. She was very knowledgeable and has been doing this for about 9 years now. She kept me talking which helped with the pain and uses the kind of wax that dries hard so that it’s not painful as well. Now, I’m happy, my husband’s happy, and I don’t have to worry about unsightly hairs on my trip!
They also offer a 15 minute service after you get a treatment of some sort. I could be a hair wash and blowdry, nail treatment, massage, etc. It’s completely free! I got the massage and was thinking it would be like a mall massage. I was wrong. Another lady, Kimberly, took me to a room with dim lights and soothing music and massaged my neck and back for 15 minutes! It was AWESOME!
To to this place and ask for Allison for a wax and Kimberly for a massage. you won’t be disappointed!
