I'm SO surprised this place got such praise! I love the idea of an organic spa, but the products just don't do a good job. I got a facial/mini/pedi combo. The pedicure was not very good. I have pretty major callouses, but she only used the fine foot file on me and the very next day my feet were as rough and calloused as ever. Same thing with my nails. It felt nice. There was a good massage, but my cuticles didn't get cleaned up at all. This is a great place if you have lots of money and already have perfect feet/nails/face and just want to be pampered. But if you're like me and you actually expect to have your feet turn buttery soft and your nails looks glowing and healthy and clean afterwards - skip it. I had a much better mani/pedi for a total of $20 in Panama!

reviews After reading the reviews, I decided to try out this spa for a mani & pedi. The esthetician was really nice and gentle. However, my only complaint was with sanitary procedures of the spa. The tools used for the pedi & mani looked a bit rusty. And the nail files and foot scrubber are reused. The foot cream was taken straight out of the jar even though the esthetician had been rubbing my foot with her hands. I haven't had any itchiness or infections, so, it probably isn't a huge problem. But, for the price of $30/mani & $60/ pedi, I'd expect more rigorous sanitary practices.

reviews I had Elizabeth for my pedicure too, and by far the best pedicure I have ever had. I have VERY ticklish feet and she was very good about not torturing me. I did have a facial once though that I wasn't crazy about. I do have very sensitive and allergic skin so that is not their fault but I did tell them about it. The lady I had for the facial couldn't finish the extraction because I was bruising. I wish that would have stopped quicker than it did. And the cream afterwards was so oily and heavy I tried wiping it off before I left. Maybe I need to try another type of facial...I love their emails advertising deals though, definitely give this one a try!

Best pedicure and manicure I've ever had. I wish I could remember her name. I think it's Elizabeth. She's amazing. Really picky. I've never had better!

reviews It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of this place. They are amazing at facials (my fave is the manuka honey), manicures and pedicures are fantastic as is the eyebrow waxing. The best part is it is an organic spa so all of their stuff is all natural. The nailpolishes they use have less of the bad stuff than most. This is my favorite place to go for pampering and beauty maintenance!

reviews I recently discovered Elixir spa and I am enthralled with it! First of all, I am trying to get rid of as many toxins and chemicals in my daily routine as possible, and this spa is COMPLETELY NATURAL AND ORGANIC! Amazing! They offer a wide range of services, the spa has great ambiance, and the staff are friendly. One of my favourite features of Elixir, is their mailing list. If you sign up, about once a month they send out an email detailing a special promotion that is often offered exclusively to clients on the list! And the deals are good: special bundles, 50% off...! Lynn, the owner, is very approachable -drop in or send her an email saying you're interested in trying out the spa and see what she has to offer.
