Body Minute

It seems like they changed owners recently and their customer service and overall spa appearance has really improved. I reccomend going there for waxing services. The manicure although the girl was very nice — she took way too long !

Needs work. Inexperienced nail technicians working here. They take tooo long for a mani pedi. Their techniques are not polished at all. Nail polish job messy. They need to improve on their technique big time. Yes you don’t need an appointment but the mani pedi is mediocre. I had to move my own purse and pull my pants up right after getting my mani. I asked her to help me and she seemed bothered by it. Will never return to this place.

The people working here are nice, their customer service is pretty good. I’ve been here twice so far for manicures. The first time’s manicure was just «O.K.» at best. I chose a black color with a slight purple hue. We stayed silent mostly throughout the manicure, with her asking once or twice if I’m okay.
My nails ended up looking a tad uneven at the ends, her filing did not do justice. She got nail polish on my fingers and didn’t clean them in certain spots, it seemed like she was in a hurry. The end result wasn’t as nice as I’d have liked it but the mistakes weren’t as noticeable so I did not complain after I left.
The second time, however, I would say is less than «O.K.» in my opinion. I’ve included pictures. The filing and clipping turned out nicely, but the French manicure portion. Yikes. The white tips are uneven on nearly every nail and I don’t like it. I give them a ⁴⁄₁₀.
If you are looking for a «spa experience» this isn’t the place to go.
Parking is difficult to find because there is on-​street parking, parking in the Alfred I. DuPont garage, or any other garage nearby. On a busy day, I wish you good luck with parking.

I’ve come here for about a year now and it’s very convenient. You don’t have to make appointments for waxing you come on a first come first serve basis… Cost: Even though you have to pay a membership to get their cheaper prices it’s 100% worth it… Overall you will spend a lot less in the long run. Wax type: The wax they use (white one) is from France and is perfect for both sensitive and normal skin… A lot better than the regular one everybody uses!

I came here about a year ago so I don’t know if management has changed or not, however the experience was so terrible I’m eager to tell you about it since I haven’t Unilocaled in a long time and still hold a grudge against this place. You get what you pay for. I came here for a facial, and I left wishing I hadn’t. Very painful extractions (I’m not a facial noob so I know there will be pain but this was a realllyyyy uncomfortable experience), «steam» was lukewarm, used wet tissue to cover my eyes from the bright bulb (cheap). It was horrid and I will never be back. The employees are also kind of stuck up, not pleasant at all. I left with the realization that there is no such thing as a cheap and decent facial. Maybe they do a better job with manicures or waxing I don’t know but for a facial (with extractions) this place is not worth it even if it is cheap.

I would give them 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact that they use roll on wax. I know! not a big deal, but I am used to being pampered with hard green wax. But hear me out ladies, their wax is not bad at all. They use a hard sticky wax for the brazilian and face, which is great by the way. I usually get all irritated, but not with this one, even the roll on wax that they used on my legs did not cause any irritation. I’m happy with the membership. If you are a student you only pay 6 $ a month! and you can’t beat the 5 $ per area price. Overall great experience. Parking is a nightmare though, so keep that in mind. Lili was my waxer today and I couldn’t be happier! She is amazing!

I came in a few days ago to ask about their tanning services, (it seemed VERY reasonably priced) and it seemed like they were too busy to answer my questions. They didn’t even acknowledge that I was there, after I stood around like an idiot for a few minutes. I’m still hooked on the price, but I’m not sure if it’s even worth going back for. If I do, I’ll let you know how my experience was.

I was a member of this location for over a year while it was owned by the previous owner. I was there every week for something. I cancelled by membership when I moved away. Since being back in Miami, I wished to join again and learned that the previous owner had sold this location.
The manis/​pedis/​and facials are definitely affordable, but you get what you pay for. No spa experience here. And you can’t beat the waxing prices.
After calling numerous times at varying times of the day (all during their business hours), someone finally answered the phone. When I started to ask my questions before booking an appointment, the woman said to hold on and started speaking to people in the background. I was on hold for a few moments (though not really on hold because I could hear everything), and she came back on the phone and told me to call back in 20 minutes.
I won’t be calling back. For the cheap prices, I can deal with the uncomfortable pedicure chairs and less-​than-​relaxing facials, but with the added lack of customer service, I will pay 50 percent more, be treated like a queen, and feel appreciated by the people I am paying.

I bought a deal for a facial at Body Minute and was very disappointed in the experience and the service. After waiting for 15 minutes (even though the place was empty), I was introduced to the woman who would be giving me my facial. She did not say hello and said very little throughout the appointment, except to bark commands at me. This, combined with her slapping lotion onto my face with out telling me what they were, did not make for a relaxing experience! Then, she left me in front of the steamer for 30 minutes with out coming in to check on me. After the steamer she put a mask on and said it would just be ten more minutes. 20 minutes later, she finally came back to finish the facial. The overall facial was mediocre at best and the service was much worse. In all, an appointment that was supposed to be 30 minutes turned into an hour and a half, making for an expensive valet ticket. I am just glad I didn’t pay full price for the «service» I was given.

This place sucks. I called in the morning when the opened and spoke to a nice woman that informed me that they could see me at 5:45 like I requested. She told me she put my name down and even repeated it back to me. I thought this was weird because they had never let me make an appointment in the past, either way, I went with it. I got there at 5:44 (yay me for not letting downtown traffic win!)… They informed me that it’s an hour wait as its first come firs serve… Ok… I get it, but don’t give me these false expectations over the phone. They seemed annoyed when I decided to stay and wait… Hello??? Had I known this was the case earlier (like, when I called), I would have called another place… but now I have no choice. Why 2 stars? They actually did a good job… Ruth is best (unfortunately she wasn’t in tonight).
Update: i returned 3 weeks later around the same time. They seem to get a lot of clients at this time. Instead of rudely informing them that they won’t have time for them because they close in an hour and have 3 people waiting… They should consider staying open later.

I will give them 5 stars if they change their pediure chairs… the chair very uncomfortable, even the cheap pedicure nail salon used the reclainer chairs already, this cozy place just using wood bench against the wall, with very old fashion basket to wash your foot :(
With this cozy, clean, French brand should be coming the very best to beat others place.
One times they spill out the all water to wash my foot, all floor watery and need to waiting till they mob the floor.
The owner said she has a plan to change the bench wood with better reclainer chair for pedicure :)

Love this place! It’s not fancy, but it has all the necessities that I need! It’s my one stop shop! With a monthly membership, every area is only $ 5 to wax! (bikini is $ 22) I can wax practically my whole body for under $ 50!
I get bored of my nail polishes easily, so I love the fact that I can get my nails done here as well. They have a really great selection of essie and opi colors as well as shellac polishes. However, I’m not a fan of their nail chairs, they’re a bit uncomfortable and hard to relax in.
Only major downside is the parking, I have to circle around 54 246 times to find a decent parking spot.
If parking was a little less stress, I would here much more frequently!

This place is pretty awesome! I arrived at 6:30 and was able to get almost a «head-​to-​toe» wax with less than a 10 minute wait. I HATE even the tiny bit of normal body fuzz so I did my whole body literally. The tech, Esmeralda, was quick. I like that the wax used for arms and legs comes directly from a rolling mechanism, so there’s no concern about double dipping. On other parts, the vat of hot wax was used. Now, at first I noticed one use, one dip but not every single time. Maybe this was because of the body part? I mean, I don’t think anything can be transmitted from the upper arm (?). The wax was a tad warmer than I’m used to, and judging based on the consistency i imagine that is normal for this wax. Honestly, between that and the questionable double dipping policy, I’ll probably stick to Senses for my bikini. All of their products come from France, and I especially loved the thick cream she applied at the end of the service.
The best thing about this place, ladies listen up, is the pricing. For a monthly membership of $ 8.50 you get $ 20 bikini waxes, and $ 5 for each other place (they still count parts like other places, ie lower leg, upper leg) …so that’s $ 20 bikini, $ 10 legs, $ 10 arms, $ 5 underarms… do you understand how awesome that is?!!
The membership also includes free tanning and discounted rates on facials, body scrubs and I think massage. I will certainly be back to try that out… well, not the tanning, but you know.
It’s downtown, so you have to use street parking, but after business hours this shouldn’t be much of a problem. I’d park close though, because I still remember downtown as being kind of sketchy, I don’t care what they build around it.
This is the perfect place for folks who are OCD about hair growth and just need a quick, no frills place to «git ‘er done» on a regular basis.
Bottom line: check it out!

Beauty care, facials, body treatments at affordable pricing and no appointment necessary. Downtown has so much to offer if you take your time and walk around to find all the great treasures and delights. You can not miss this location as you walk past, bright white walls and pink everywhere, so girly!
From waxing, to facial care, body care and tanning this salon offers so much. They have a really cool program for members $ 8.50 monthly on debit card and you can cancel at any time. With this you get unlimited tanning in your membership center, and $ 5 waxing area of your choice. Oh and students get the membership for $ 6.50 a month. Great deal if you are good about getting waxing services or tan often. They offer walk ins with no appointments which is so convenient and they are open six days a week. Until 8 pm. except Saturday til 5.
We got our eyebrows waxed and they did a great job, in and out. Good wax that did not irritate my skin. Since we did not sign up for membership it was $ 8. OK you can not beat that. The technicians are very friendly and the place is clean. If my daughter lived here she would go there all the time since she loves waxing.
Great place downtown to get Beautified!
