eména spa

Just finished an amazing deep tissue massage with Erica. I was having shoulder and neck issues while on vacation and desperately needed relief. The massage was so deep not your typical «tickle» massage. I highly recommend her. One of the best deep tissue massages I have received.

I came to visit Miami and was shopping in Design District, and the sales person recommended the spa place. I did a deep tissue message with a firm pressure, and the therapist was very detailed with a focus on my back (my most problematic area). I would highly recommend this place for a professional message experience. :)))

Excellent ! I went for a manicure and Marie gave the best AU have received in years, very professional, clean and tranquil space. Love the whole experience.

Ok I’m writing this review and I haven’t been been there yet! I was searching forever for a spa with great reviews and a membership program and this is it. As it turns out I’m more interested in the med side so I might hold off on the membership for now but when I called the front desk the women on the phone was AMAZING!!! She explained the membership in full detail, answered all of my questions and provided additional info. We decided what would work best for me and she booked me in right away. Can’t wait to call this my new spa. Updates to come!

I was having serious neck and back pain yesterday and saw this place had a groupon for a one hour massage. They got me in that day! The spa itself is a little hard to find with the construction in midtown but once you find it its lovely! The massage was wonderful and the actual spa is relaxing and cute! They offer a great monthly package for different services which I will totally be back for!

Great way to pamper yourself. If you want a real deal spa mani pedi then this is your place. Great calm ambiance and top shelf products. Very very pleased

I look forward to my visits at Emena Spa. My go-​to for hair is Carla, nails is definitely Marie, and facials would be Mindy. Very friendly staff, with warm smiles, and calming beautiful environment. I’ve even gotten my husband to sign up for a membership as he comes to see Shirley and Erica for pedicure and massage.
Wonderful place in the Design District with a staff you will want to come visit regularly.

I’ve been going to this salon for a few years now and always have a great experience. I finally decided I need to write a Unilocal review after my particular experience today. I had made an 11am appointment but somehow when I arrived they didn’t have the appointment in the books. To help with the mix up, they offered me a free facial while I waited for the stylist to arrive. They also worked together and around another client to make sure I got the services I originally made the appointment for. I truly appreciated their effort (as I always do), but today especially. Plus, the aesthetician was one of the nicest I’ve ever met and my skin is simply glowing. Plus (again), my hair always looks great when I leave. Highly recommend!

This place is my paradise, I walk in and it’s like everyone greets you with a warm smile, great energy from the team. Carla and Deanna can do magic to your hair!!! I’ve been to so many salons over the years from south beach, brickell, coral gables, etc. I must say Emenas Spa is by far the best in south Florida ! So I gave it 5 stars …

I got a Groupon for a mani-​pedi here and my tech was Marie.
She was very professional and polite and gives a mean massage. Definitely took her precious time and did everything exactly meticulous. I was very happy with the service. They also have a very cute photo booth thing with props (you’ll see). Everyone was very professional and the service was superb. Highly recommend and I would definitely return.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I first went to Emena in 2011 in their old location… First time I went was because of a Groupon for laser and I fell in love with the place and the people. For my wedding in 2012 I got at least 4 facials and fell in love even more with Emena, and the owner CHristina was always so nice and welcoming. …Well, fast forward to 2016 I decide its time to start doing facials on a regular basis. I live in Doral now, which is far, so I did some research looking for places closer to me, but at the end of the day my skin deserves the best treatment so I decided not to risk going to just any place. I called, spoke to Ken (LOVE HIM!) and asked about the facials, turns out the lady who did my facials back in 2012 is still there. Her name is Mirzza… SHE IS PROBABLY THE BEST in the world… if not, at least very close. I went yesterday got the micro and oxygen facial. I left there feeling about 10 yrs younger, Im 34 so I felt GREAT!!! I ended up singing up for their membership and I am so excited to be part of the Emena family again after so long.
If you a looking for a great atmosphere, and great professionals dont even bother looking for something else!!! I absolutely LOVE their products… I ended up buying some yesterday… Best thing was that MIrzza never pushed them on me… I asked and she recommended some products. Eminence Organic Sking Care is not cheap, but its worth every penny.
I will never mind driving from Doral to Emena to get pampered!!! THANKS EMENA!!! See you in 3 weeks Mirzza :)

The place was a bit hard to find as I didn’t know it was on the 3^rd floor. The spa is very nice, I like all the colors they used.
My facial was ok. I had the microdermabrasion. It was very fast, only 45 min. I love the Eminence organic vegan friendly skin care products, they smell and feel great! Mindy used a wet cold towel to clean the products off my face which feels a bit rough on the skin, not nice, however, mindy has a very nice touch and used some techniques I hadn’t felt before. While I had a mask on mindy left the room, a quick hand massage would have been a nice touch instead of laying there by yourself for 15 min. Overall the experience was ok. I wouldn’t come back at full price (had 30% off) as I can go to a hotel spa for that price where they have amenities included.

Obsessed! I am been coming to Emena Spa in the Design District religiously for the last year. When I moved from NYC to Miami I was skeptical that I would find the right place that would take care of all my beauty needs but I did. I get monthly Essential Mani/Pedi’s as well as polish changes with Marie and she is amazing! No matter how stressful the week has been I always leave Marie’s chair feeling completely relaxed with nails shiny and fresh! Between Marie’s technique and the quality of the polishes that they use my Mani’s remain chip free for almost two weeks! If you haven’t checked out the Smith & Cult line it’s a must. Outside of nails I have gotten facials with Mindy who is super friendly and always gives me the right recommendations that are best suited for my skin. Mindy turned me on to Eminence, An Organic Skincare line that Emena carries and now can’t live without. As a society we have become more conscious about the foods we put in our body but Emena has educated me in leveraging a better quality of products when it comes to my skin and hair & nails.
They recently added an additional option to their Spa Memberships for a Mani/​Pedi Club. Safe to say I will be joining and taking advantage of all of the other benefits membership has to offer.
Cheers to Christina and the rest of the team, Emena is a home run!

Awesome place and outstanding customer service! Got a haircut and blow-​dry by Carla and I absolutely loved it!

$ 88.00 for a manicure and pedicure.
$ 53.00 for a pedicure.
When you call they want a credit card on file to make an appointment due to their cancellation policy.
The pedicure lasts for over 30 min
I kind of got discouraged when they wanted my credit card details over the phone.
If you drive a Bentley… Then this is the place for you.

Signed up for monthly membership. I ended up paying rack rates. After detailed explanations from Christina, owner of Spa and the way she handled the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. She is very enthusiastic about signing you up for membership but does not deliver what she promises. I have expressed my opinion and intention to cancel my membership she said she will do it without penalty if I revoke my last treatment. I was supposed to get 4. I got only two. Very disrespectful. Her words mean nothing. It is all talk. I Will never recommend to sign up for membership. Her goal as she says «make our customers happy» is a joke. Thank you for reading.

Purchased a coupon from Gilt for conditioning treatment and a blowdry. Deanna was my stylist and she was very sweet… really took her time to dry and style my super long hair. The spa looks clean and I love the décor! The salon area is not big, but cute and cozy. Ken at the reception was super helpful, all the staff there seemed nice and friendly. I will certainly make another visit and try a facial next time. Btw the English white tea they serve at the seating area tasted great! Parking could be a little hassle at the design district but can valet for $ 5.

I love coming to get microdermabrasion here. The staff is always so welcoming and great. The products that they use are organic and you actually see the difference the same day. I go to unwind and pamper myself. It is my go to place for skin care.

Horrendous. I got a 90 min. Massage and 90 min. Reflexology pedi. The massage table is old, no heated blankets and every time he pushed on me, it moved and creaked. I was nauseas. He shoved me head in cradle and my neck is killing me. Not relaxing at all for a sweetish massage. The reflexology was just as bad. It was a pot of water, no pedi spa seat and a foot rub with graduals. NO REFLEXOLOGY. SERIOUSLY. THIS IS, MISADVERTIZED. I wasted 4 hrs, a drive and I have a headache. It’s a glorified hair salon. Not spa. I agree with kris. S. Below. Hair salon, not a spa.

I love this spa. I only wish it was closer to home and a bit less expensive. I’ve had two haircuts with Deanna and she gave me exactly what I wanted. Her vibe is amazing. No one there is pushy, they run on time and the facility is clean, modern and relaxing.
Definitely recommend.

I absolutely LOVE EMENA SPA! Once you go for any treatment you won’t want to go anywhere else. From the staff to the atmosphere, right in the heart of the design district. Great location. For facials I Recommend the exceptional Mindy Kim.
Mindy is knowledgeable about what my skin needs. She is an expert and really attentive to my needs. If you’re breaking out, have dark spots/​acne scars Mindy will correct them. After a facial you see instant results, my skin feels and looks great. I always leave with glow! If you want your hair done I highly recommend Carla! The Entire staff is fantastic and professional! Their goal is to make you happy!

Amazing service. Great establishment. Easy cheap parking in the street or $ 5 valet. 4 stars due to pricing of the service. A gel mani cost $ 50 + 18% tip $ 9 = $ 59. The spa is sadly over my budget and I will not return. But for those who can afford it I strongly recommend Marie.
Update:
After I posted my review the spa texted me explaining they will send in the future 30% coupons to those whom provided an email. Make sure to give your email address. Excellent follow up. Lovely people at this establishment. 5 stars!

I had a great experience here during the spa month promotions this year. My facial was very good, I got microdermabrasion added as was advised by my esthetician, my deep tissue massage was awesome, he worked really good my muscle soreness, and the best of my spa day — Rick The Foot Master, I got 30 min foot reflexology from him, I almost fell asleep, that was the best foot massage experience I’ve ever had!!! I would recommend this place to my friends!!!

I’ll start with a very simple I LOVE EMENA SPA. Ken, who works the front desk, is awesome! He is so knowledgeable and friendly. I first came to emena years ago after discovering them on gilt when I purchased a laser hair removal session. Since then, they’ve moved to a new location nearby, and I’ve visited a few more times. Most recently, I went in thanks to a Miami Spa Month deal, where I got a facial and a deep tissue massage for $ 129. When I arrived, I decided to upgrade to an oxygen facial for $ 40. Erica was my masseuse, and she did a fantastic job. I usually enjoy a massage somewhere in between a swedish and deep tissue, but this time I felt tight, and I knew I needed a full on deep tissue massage. The massage came with an organic apricot oil, and it smelled delicious. What a great experience. Afterwards, I had my facial with Mindy, which was also great. They use the BEST products — most (if not all) are organic, super high quality stuff — so luxe, makes you feel like a queen. After my first facial at emena, I switched my daily moisturizer to the one applied on my face by eminence. It’s a coconut moisturizer, and I love it. Mindy was great, she thoroughly checks out your skin and goes from there. My boyfriend also had a facial with her, and he didn’t need to do extractions so she switched it up to a microdermabrasion. I believe I may have converted him!
It’s a quaint little spot in the design district. It’s not like a hotel spa with a gym, steam room, sauna, etc. They have a reception area where you can have tea and water. They also sell some of the products they use during the facials.
Note: They run specials throughout the year. Most recently for Labor Day, they had a 30% off, so I took advantage and purchased my mom’s and my boyfriend’s mom’s birthday presents. Looking forward to Black Friday! ha!

My haircut and blow dry were great. I had Deanna as my stylist and really liked her, she’s young and very professional. She gave me a really good hair masque and a nice cut. My mani pedi was also really good and lasted a while with minimum chipping, I like the selection of polishes. I wish they had real pedi chairs. All in all very nice experience.

I have been to hundreds of spas all over the world and can say that Emena is not only a spa — they are my beauty team; responsible for my physical and mental stability. It’s like coming home to a beauty oasis twice a week.
Emena is my little safe haven and has become the best indulgence I have invested in, in a long time. I have been a member for over a year and I have always received the best service and expertise. I highly recommend Mindy for facial care (her Micro Derms and Oxygen masks are on point!!) beyond being an expert — Mindy always makes sure I receive the best attention and service.
This full service spa provides expertise in all areas — the ones I can recommend from experience are facial care, hair and color (Ask for Carla) and massage therapy, but they have some of the latest technology and advance spa services I have seen in the market. Their membership packages cater to all sorts of preferences and the value is amazing compared to other spas in Miami.
Ken and Cristina also do an excellent job of making sure all bookings and reservations are accommodated and always do their best to make sure I am welcome at any time.
I love my EMENA family. Do not wait another second and stop by their beautiful location in the heart of the design district. (Tell them I sent you ;))

Emena offers a Miami Spa special of $ 129 for both a facial and a deep tissue massage. I was also tempted by the oxygen treatment facial that is $ 99, but I decided that I do want/​need a massage. Turns out that, at the spa, they offers me to upgrade to the oxygen treatment for $ 40 extra, which I gladly took.
The massage — I like how my masseur customized the session and really focused on working out my kinks, instead of doing a standard head to toe routine. However, I have to say I didn’t like his hairy arms rubbing on my back. I have had many massages before, and plenty by male, but it’s the first time I had this unpleasant experience. I don’t suppose I have the right to demand someone to shave his arms, but despite my effort to put a positive spin on it «hey I am getting a free scrub!!» it really grossed me out. Also I don’t care for the massage oil they use. it’s supposedly apricot flavor but smells like sweet candy. I’d prefer they use something herbal or floral. At the end of the session I was so oily I had to ask for some towels to wipe myself. There is no shower facility.
The facial — I am glad that I can upgrade to the oxygen treatment, and overall I enjoyed the session. I appreciate that my esthetician did not try to push skin care products on me, instead she gave me some samples to try.
This place may be a great hair and nail salon but I feel that I can get similar level of massage at a lower price, or pay as much and get a massage at a fancier facility with changing room, showers or even more. Not to mention that parking is always a hassle at Design District, and if you don’t valet, parking will be a few blocks away.

(Update: 3 days after facial)
Deep Cleaning Facial: I’m not a fan. There’s a fad in facials to use a suction tool, sometimes called vacu-​brasion, to ‘suck out the gunk from your pores!’ but a suction tool doesn’t really do that. It does bring circulation to the skin’s surface and so your skin looks flushed, full, and nice, but all that’s temporary. Acids unclog pores, and so do extractions, none of which are used in this type of facial at this spa. I would pass on this particular facial.

This review is long over due… I’ve been going to Emena for over 4 years and I just have to say what a pleasure it is that I have found this spa. For starters, they perform every service I need from blowouts to laser hair removal so it’s an all in one stop. If you’re like me and you don’t have time to run all over town for beauty treatments this is your place and each service area is a 5 star experience. If you ever get a chance to get a reflexology pedicure DO IT! It’s life changing.
I feel the pricing is very fair. There is a membership if you want to join and there’s always great specials ESP during summer.
Now on to the staff. I’ve never been treated more like family by a group ever. I look forward to seeing Christina, Ken, Carla and everyone else each time I arrive. It’s a warm and inviting atmosphere where you want to spend all day.

I’ve been completing my laser hair removal sessions here and honestly, there’s not enough great things I can say about this place.
I chose Emena after NBC 6 listed it as the 2^nd best place to get laser hair removal in Miami. The staff members are all very friendly and helpful. The technician completing my treatment is very nice and knowledgable. She starts off your treatment with minimal laser strength then goes increasing it each session as she evaluates your skin and how well it is working for you.
The other best part is their price. If you buy 6 sessions at once, you get a 30% discount. This spa is very deserving of 5 stars.

I absolutely love this place and never did I think I would find it with a groupon
Usually groupons can be tricking you don’t get the greatest service and you get the «groupon» treatment. But not here! I walked in and was greeted extremely cordial by the spa director (Ken) he showed me around the very stylish spa located on the 3^rd floor of a urban style cute building in the design district; he immediately offered me organic tea, coffee or wine (I picked coffee and wine!)
Then the moment of truth who will they give me for my hydrating hair mask, cut and blow groupon. They gave me wonderful Deanna! She applied my hydrating hair mask while we talked about what I wanted for my hair cut. She perfectly combined what I wanted with her expertise and ta da! Perfect hair style and amazing blo :)
Well needles to say I will be going back to Deanna for my weekly blo :)
