Bodywork-A Day Spa

We enjoyed our visit.. My mother and I recently went to this spa. I had read the reviews, but I could not believe them, since my friend had been there before and said she enjoyed it. We had the pampering package and we were treated very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good spa package at a very reasonable price.…

Just awful. Don't let the low prices fool you. Please read this review. I am so upset and feel so cheated. My husband and I went to this place today for massages. We have not lived in Birmingham long, so I am not familiar with the spa's here. The only reason I chose this place was because Melvin makes the website sound professional and wonderful. And the prices are so much lower than anywhere else! I see why now.. It was terrible! First of all, the lady who was supposed to do my husband's massage was 10 minutes late and came in with food on her mouth. The other lady "Barbara" has something very mentally wrong obviously. She did my massage and I have never felt so uncomfortable. Her hands were freezing and she blew her nose the whole time I was in there. It was just a bad experience and waste of money for us. I really can't believe they are still open...…

Skip this one. No, really.. I went in for a 1:00 spa pedicure appointment not knowing what kind of establishment to expect. I hadn't read any of the reviews, but after reading them, I totally agree with all impressions. Creepy, small, crowded, outdated... Unprofessional doesn't even begin to cover the service.

Melvin is the "spa director" and Barbara, whom I assume is his wife, works there too. Her paintings, amateur and childish, cheap acrylic pieces, litter every available space. The pedicure area is just as described, a cheap bar stool pulled up to a box covered with a cheap coir front doormat. Also as described, a Conair home pedi-spa thing set up on top of this box. Tepid water, no soaking time, no exfoliation, hardly any foot rubbing, mediocre paint job and some of THE most uncomfortable conversation I've ever had. Ever. Melvin opens the conversation with asking if I'd watched the Republican presidential debate the night before, I tried to dodge the question and it didn't work. Then he started talking to me about his car troubles and asking what I thought was wrong with it. (I'm a stay-at-home mom, not a mechanic, dude.)

I almost felt bad when I left, I swiped my card and left no tip. I told myself that it was ok, because he was the owner of the "spa"... One to which I will NEVER return.…

This is not a spa at all!. I went here because they said they do hypnotherapy and massage at a SPA. When I got there, it was only one room and, though the lady said I was hypnotized -- I wasn't. She told me the solution to what I came there for was "to smile more." She really should not call this a SPA. I wonder do these places have to be licensed; she didn't seem qualified to own a business or do anything like massage or hypnotherapy (hypnosis).…
