I've walked or drove by this place for 18 months and never saw it. I enjoyed my experience. Julie gave an excellent massage and nesarine gave an amazing pedicure. My only feedback, which is not a deal breaker, is to have a wider selection of refreshments and nail polish colors. Facility is clean and affordable parking. I will be back.
I liked the atmosphere of the Spa very much. Friendly staff. Clean, modern rooms. I always got my massage from Stepan who no longer works there, but I've heard their staff is pretty consistent.
I have been a client of WOODHOUSE for years now. Consistently friendly, very comfortable setting, just blocks away. Great service, local spa.
Got a gift certificate from a friend and was very happy with their service. Nice staff, polite, clean, nice ambience. Great massage and facial. Would go back. Recommended.
I was very underwhelmed with the Woodhouse Day Spa in Montclair, where I recently had their signature (over a hundred dollars) pedicure.The spa is just not inspired nor inspiring, it does not have a definite personality or purpose, and most of the staff seem more concerned with being proper than with doing a great job.It is impeccably clean and very well appointed, although the bathroom was pedestrian. The pedicure itself was very undistinguished, and for over a hundred dollars (which thankfully was a gift), I was expecting something extraordinary.Instead it was a very average pedicure, with a below average polish job, and I could have gotten better for much, much less money. I later found out that Woodhouse is a chain of spas, and I think that explains everything. It goes "by the book" but running a spa is an art, not a business science. With Bangz and Sahana right around the corner, there is no need to return to Woodhouse. The top priced pedicure at Bangz is superior and less than half the price.
Have been to Woodlouse spa a few times for a manicure-pedicure and always enjoyed it. The staff is very good and the spa itself is very upscale and well thought out.
I have been here many times and I have never had a bad experience. Wonderful atmosphere to relax. The overall spa is very clean, quiet, and professional. Look for package deals!
Dear S K. Thank you for your review. We are looking into how we can improve the cold floors in this single digit weather. Sorry for the robe and we had our staff go through all the robes to see if any of them needed to be replaced. Lockers always have the central heat and small electric wall heaters on (which go on/off automatically).It is appropriately to schedule massage first and then the facial and this is how we always schedule our services. Our products used in facial service are very high-end and I am a bit surprised that you found them strongly scented as they are not. Depending on the facial we use Arcona, Skinceuticals or LifeLine - all top of the line brands. We will be introducing Voya (seaweed based natural line in the next month).Massage table warmer can be adjusted so next time just ask. The esthetician you had is very experienced and highly requested. The estheticians do not talk a lot during our services as they are providing a relaxing experience.
I visited the spa because it was a birthday gift that I received from my son. My entry to the spa and through the entire day it was bliss! I was brought to a changing room with lockers two bathrooms a shower where you would be able change and put away your things before entering into another room called the "Quiet Room" to fill out the paperwork that was required. You were provided a robe and slippers. In this "quiet room" you were offered herbal tea,granola bars, water with lemon or just plain cold ice water. Like every spa there was very tranquil music playing throughout the rooms. Upon changing and heading to the quiet room I was also given a warm neck pillow that would relax and get me ready for my massage. The package that was bought for my birthday was called the "spa classic" & in this package you received I think it was a 50 minute massage a 50 minute facial and a 50 minute pedicure. I was there for almost 4 hours. Within five minutes of getting there and filling out the forms, Rochelle came and retrieved me from the quiet room to give me my massage. From there I went back to the quiet room where I had a nice cup of hot herbal tea and a little more relaxation. From there Vanessa came and retrieved me to do my facial and she was also the one that did my pedicure. In the facial room, it seemed her player was broken so we didn't have music in the room. They ( Vanessa & Rochelle) were both very pleasant & took very great care in making sure that I was comfortable and relaxed. Everyone seemed very professional , very nice & the place was very clean and they were very accommodating. I also asked to get a manicure done because I needed one and that was not in the package and they fitted that in because I was already getting a pedicure with Vanessa and that worked out perfectly. I actually got a paraffin treatment with manicure. I thought that prices were reasonable and I would definitely recommend and will be going back to Woodhouse Day Spa.One slight draw back is that parking is hard to find in that area but there is a parking garage called the Crescent Deck across the street from there and the spa does validate your ticket. I found however that I had to end up paying at the "Pay station" that you have to go to first before leaving the garage. I thought validating a ticket meant you shouldn't have to pay. It asked for $5 then after several tries it said I still owed $1. I paid and that was that. Also upon checking out as I had to pay for my paraffin manicure, I was being charged in error for a service I didn't get, but that was cleared up in a 2nd. All in all it was very good day. Very wonderful place and totally recommend. I thanked my son profusely for my birthday gift :-)
My BFF treated me to 'The Soma' (combo of Reflexology & Shirodhara Scalp Massage) for my birthday. I opted out of the warm oil meant to be poured on your third eye (center of forehead) because we had plans afterwards & I did not want to walk around like an oil slick. The therapist was sweeet & very accomodating so just had a great scalp massage, followed by reflexology on the hands & then the feet. LOVED the reflexology on the feet & found myself snorting myself awake several times ... I seldom get that relaxed during a body treatment. My friend had the Signature “Minkyti” facial & came out shining like a new penny. The place itself was very serene & super clean. Treatment rooms are a comfortable size. Staff is uber friendly. Had no issue with the relaxation area being co-ed because you're wearing a nice oversized robe to keep your bits in (seriously, it's like a 3X). I would really like to come in the cold months for a body scrub & seaweed wrapThe only thing keeping me from giving this place higher rating are the prices. They're a little ... much. If you're planning to partake of the services on a regular basis, you should probably keep looking - the prices @ Woodhouse Day Spa unfortunately make this an occassional treat. For the average working woman, it would be fairly cost prohibitive to do a facial/massage on a monthly basis
