I have tried other places thinking one was going to be better but kept getting disappointed. From now on, I will stick with Dolce...

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Parking

I have had my share of wonderful treatments in this Beautiful victorian and I must say that this place functions despite the management and ignorant manicurist/part time receptionist who gossips about clients and her personal life.She loves to sit and talk on her cell phone while one waits to be serviced.I sat through a pedicure with another manicurist,Tomik,and endured a foul conversation between two other manicurists sitting next to me.One was giving the other a pedicure,apparently just before her wedding and both were complaining about their clients.Tomik was obviously mortified by their conversations and I was extremely uncomfortable. Niether of them seemed to care that I was there. I loved my treatments with Tomik, I loved my massages, and I especially loved the ambiance and decor of this spa but I cannot support an establishment which allows such behavior.This house is Beautiful and the prices are affordable, if you can avoid the manicure room all together. BTW, I did place a call to the owner, Leslie Medina. She never returned my call.

Ok, so I walk into this place with my wife for the amore package. I was very hesitant about being a male in the spa setting and would say that I wasnt really looking foward to it. That all changed very quickly. A beautiful young lady named Danielle came out to the sitting area and brought me back to a room. Her smile and presence was beautiful to say the least. Things were already looking up. She explained the whole process and made me feel very comfortable to be there. Then the facial process started and I was in heaven. Hand, arm, and face massage...warm lotions on your face....even the part where she cleans out blackheads didnt even hurt! Guys, facials are awesome. Try it.

I've been curious about Brazillian waxing for a period of time but scared to try it out. It was just yesterday that I saw everyone's posting in here that made me feel comfortable about getting it done at Dolce Vita. I called them last night to set up an appointment with Tiffany, but she wasn't available. So, I got set up with Stacey for today. I was excited and scared because I don't know how it will be. It was very awkward at first but Stacey explained the procedure, made me feel comfortable and worked her way through. She was very professional about it and at the same time she acted like a friend who knew what I was about to get into. I'm very satisfied with the result and will definitely go back. Thanks Everyone for all your HONEST REVIEWS it helped me out a lot!

Pros: Best Price! Easy Going Staff! Professionals! Wonderful Atmosphere!

Cons: nothing... U can park on their Right hand side lot just not the left!

I have been seeing Esther for several months now. After a very unfortunate color job elsewhere, I found her. She has done an amazing job transforming my hair. I'm so glad to have found her!! I LOVE MY HAIR!

Nice, quiet spa, friendly staff. Reasonable prices. It's small and can be easy to miss in the dark, which is a slight downside.

Cons: not a lot of parking

I went to dolce vita for the first time and Danielle was so nice and she made me feel so comfortable. I was so nervous esp since it was my first brazillian and she was great she took her time,made sure I was okay. I thought it was going to be so painful but it was not bad at all I was truly surprised and she used soft and hard wax. I am def going to her again.Im glad I found her!!

Cons: Parking

I have been a client at Dolce Vita for about 4 years and have had my brows done by all estheticians and nobody has been camparable to my experience with Danielle. She is not only a perfectionist at what she does but she is also very sweet and very knowledgeable about her profession. You can ask her any question and she wil have an answer. I dont have to look any futher because I have found what I was looking for. Thanks Danielle!

Ok, this is the great place for a Brazilian but I DO NOT recommend Danielle. Tiffany is the best; unfortunately, I forgot her name and thought it was Danielle... I swear she was slow. I told her a million times I wanted it ALL off and she skipped so many places and it was sooo painful. I was VERY disappointed... Usually I feel clean after a brazilian but i had to come home and shave all of the places she missed. She even asked me if she should do a certain spot, it's like "DUH, I'm getting a brazilian!!!" I'm even contemplating going to a new place but then remember that Tiffany is great. I will never forget Tiffany's name now!!!! If you are going for a brazilian stay away from Danielle.....

I was looking for a place to get my first brazilian wax and after reading the reviews on here about Dolce Vida and Tiffany, I made an appointment. I just got back and I loved it. Tiffany truly is awesome. She made me feeling at ease from the beginning and even had me laughing during the waxing. Sure, it hurts, but only for a few seconds and only in 2 places. Everywhere else is a piece of cake. She did such a great job that I won't go anywhere else. It was the perfect first time experience for me. The only negative part (which isn't a huge deal) was that they don't take tips on credit or debit card. You have to leave cash (or a check) in an envelope for them. I didn't know this so I didn't have enough cash on me and no checkbook. I left all the cash I had on me which was a few dollars short of what I wanted to leave. I'm so happy I found this place!

Pros: Tiffany is a great waxer! I'll never go anywhere else.

Cons: absolutely none
