Body Bar Massage & Tanning

Diane is amazing at facials (microdermabrasion & European)! James is AMAZING for massages!

Two bad experiences in a row !!!
Got my eyebrows waxed yesterday the lady left the top of my brow untouched and flat across. I mentioned also to her that she should clean up the bottom, she acted like she knew better than I do for what is best for my brows. And I left. When I got to my car I looked in the mirror again and nearly cried at how awful they looked. I turned around and went back and instructed her to fix the arches, it’s not like I didn’t mention arches 15 times while I was there!!! (I did) the second time they looked better. Far from perfect!!!
I returned again today for a spray tan. The lady had a strange attitude with me. Not friendly at all. Like she was mad she had to spray me. I usually go to the north hills location. And the lady waives the underware policy for me but this employee was rude and forced me to wear them and now I have a tan line. BITCH!!! Color turned out nice but whatever. I’m unhappy with their attitudes. Never again cranberry. Sticking with north hills.

Elvira does a great job with brows. It is all I have done there, but I have now gone back almost monthly for a year. She takes her time, listens to you, and is really nice. She is more for the natural brow look, which I appreciate (over too thin brows). I did have a bad experience with another esthetician when Elvira was not available, and won’t be going back to see anyone but her. I did think the way Body Bar addressed the situation was appropriate, but I do hope that person does not do anyone elses brows. Go see Elvira!

I like to treat myself to a massage each year for my birthday. My funds are limited this year, so I was searching for a place that fit into my budget, but still offered somewhat of a «spa» feeling. I solicited advice from my Facebook friends and more than one of them directed me to The Body Bar. Once I read on their website that their «What’s Hot» special this month was Pumpkin Spice scented massage and facial products, I was sold! Plus, since I was a new customer, I got to take advantage of their introductory rate of just $ 45 for a 1-​hour massage.
When I made the appointment, the receptionist asked if I had a preference in massage therapist. Since I had never been there before to be able to ask for anyone by name, I asked for the strongest person she could give me. When I arrived that day and met Jamie, I admit that I had reservations, since she was about my same height (5’8″) but easily 75 pounds lighter than me. I wondered how this super skinny, soft spoken «girl» could possibly give me the deep and firm massage I was hoping for. Well, my hesitations were quickly put to rest as soon as Jamie started working on me. Her massage technique was just my style. Plus, she had the perfect blend of friendly chit chat just before she got started but then absolute silence (other than the normal «Is the pressure okay? Would you like hot towels on your feet? I’m going to have you flip over now,» kind of stuff) once she started my massage.
My only minor complaint was that the door/​walls are a bit thin and not everybody in the hallway just outside my massage room observed the «Quiet, please» sign on their way into that wing of the building. It could’ve been other patrons, it could’ve been other massage therapists, I really don’t know. But I would’ve liked it to be a little quieter (other than the typical soothing «spa» music — no Enya, thankfully) the whole time. Of course, I’m pretty sure I fell asleep at one point toward the end of my massage, which is always a good sign that you’re pretty much as relaxed as you can get.
Overall, I was quite impressed with my massage at The Body Bar. Even though it didn’t include fuzzy slippers or a warm bathrobe, it was definitely worth the money and I would be happy to go there again.
