Very disappointed

by Brenda Wiana

Very dissatisified with my facial there. I have had many facials and was in town and told that was the place to go. The esthetician seemed hurried and did not explain or assess my skin nor inform me as to tips on how to care for my skin/recommend product. I then was referred by my daughter weeks later about a place called Go! Spa in Des Peres. The esthetician's name was Abbey Lopez, she was very friendly. Amazing facial massage techniques and very knowledgable. I left feeling rejuvenated and well informed. Now when in town I know just the place to go and relax!

• Pros: Good skincare
• Cons: Non-personal experience

Don't waste your money or your time!

by ruemeridian7

I was given a spa day for my 40th birthday. My best friend and I both went. We had massages, facial, and our nails done. The massage was great. Marie was very good. My facial was OK. I felt like I was attacked by a porcupine! She did mention the products several times and that I would have to come back weekly because of my large pores.

Everything was OK to this point, then the craziness begins. My friend and I were supposed to have our manicures done at the same time. When I was finished they told me to wait in the waiting area for my manicure. I waited and waited, finally they told me I was in the wrong place. I sat down to have the manicure, my friend was nowhere to be seen. She had been bumped by another customer so she had to wait. Then she asked for a french manicure. The lady had no idea what she was doing. It looked sloppy. As we were waiting to check out the receptionists received a personal phone call and we had to wait. My friend paid using her credit card, they did not give her a receipt, no thank you, good bye,....

The polish on my nails started chipping that night. My cuticles were ragged and my friend's french manicure was worn off by the next afternoon. One week later the salon called my friend and told her that they forgot to charge an extra $15.00 for the french manicure. She paid them, then called me. I spoke with the manager at the time and all she would offer was a sign up for the preferred customers. Like I was going to go back there!

Not worth the time or the money. Very pricey for some things that were a mediocre service. Beware! Happy Birthday to me!

• Pros: Massage Marie was great!
• Cons: Price, upity, not worth the cost.

Rina Tesler is the Best!

by bell2008

I have been to many spas around St. Louis in search of a good facial, and Rina Tesler is hands down the best! She is so sweet, and never snooty, and has the best hands. I have been a virgin to waxing, and have let her be the first to give me a leg and bikini wax, and I have to say the results were amazing. My favorites are her facials and glycolic peels. I have been getting compliments left and right about my skin, and I feel so confident after a visit with her. I always cared for my skin, and I know the treatments are a little pricy, but I have found that I am more willing to spend money on great products that she recommends after seeing these results for the past few months. I know that Rina has been in the business for several years and is very well educated, she recommends but never pushes, and it is so nice to meet someone with integrity! Thanks you Rina, you have a client for life!

• Pros: Rina Tesler, well educated, Fantastic service!
