The Best Colorist

by susanfontaine

Autumn is a premier colorist. She does amazing work --it's all she does and she does it brilliantly--designing color to fit with your skin and eyes. She will ever so gently deter you from making horrible mistakes and is great at correcting color. My hair looks fabuloso after she does her magic--and the way she balances highlights and lowlights makes my thin hair look fuller. She is an unsung talent on the hair scene.

• Pros: Great Color
• Cons: High stylist turnover

Great Hands!

by smithy11

I had a shiatsu massage from Ana and she was fantastic! Very strong hands, very professional. She absolutely knows what she's doing and she cares. I was offered wine and a stay at the oxygen bar as soon as I walked in, which was such an added treat. The room was quiet and I will definitely go back to Ana again.

• Pros: Nice ambience, great service

Best Thai massage - see Paula

by teasprings

Paula is No. 1, A++++. Every touch is gentle with enough pressure to work out your entire body. Every touch is done with care and preciseness. When she walks on you, it is so gentle, it doesn't feel like she's walking on you. Her customer service is unsurpassable. She treats her clients like royalty. She doesn't have to, but that is her way. She is Outstanding...I go to Spa Bar to have Paula's magical treatment. Highly recommended!!!!

• Pros: Paula
• Cons: If Paula is not available

Wonderful client service

by Kelpgull

Spa Bar is a gift. I had experienced a hair nightmare elsewhere, and was referred here by a friend.

My haircolorist is so talented. You will also find backup experts and scheduling is very easily accommodated.

What a great place to go to, very professional and yet very warm and welcoming. I recommend Spa Bar 110% and worth every penny.

• Pros: Professionalism, Availability, Location, Services
• Cons: None

best eyebrows and facials

by wedding1

I love this place. I have been going to lamai for years. I travel from Tracy just to get my eyebrows waxed. I wont let anyone besides her touch my eyebrows. She is the best and my before and after pictures prove it. Her facials are great too. I would recommend this place to anyone and I always do. Most of my friends see Lamai as well!

• Pros: ambience, service
• Cons: parking but you can valet at the marriott

Eyebrow waxing anyone?

by mexiricanssf

I had my eyebrows waxed for yrs and I either had them too thin or no shape what so ever!

Well, now my eyebrows are FAB, thanks to Lamai, she does an incredible job!

It's been 4 yrs now and I am still going!

I highly recommend her for waxings!

If you read these reviews you might get hooked like I did

by doch

My first massage at Spa Bar was from a gift certificate a while back. It was wonderful. In addition to the great quality of work by these very experienced CMTs, the whole place has a great feel to it. It's one of my favorite ways to unwind or reward myself for all the work I do M-F. I can't recommend this place enough.

• Pros: Services, phone scheduling, location
• Cons: none

The Best Masseuse & The Best Massage

by robenz

Thai massage is famous and there?s a reason why

But you?d have to travel round the world just to give it a try.

If the expense of travel to Thailand is something you can?t do

Spa Bar?s got you covered, they bring Thailand here to you.

From her exotic homeland, Paula (Paiwan) has made her way

Here to San Francisco, the city by the bay.

Spend some time with Paula and see what she can do

She?ll stretch and pull and bend you then she?ll walk all over you.

Feel stress, strain and anxiety melt beneath her hands

Close your eyes your spirit flies to mystic, foreign lands.

Take my advice and go to Spa Bar, I promise you?ll be glad

A Thai massage by Paula is the best massage you?ve ever had.

Oscar at Spa Bar

by jancieb

Oscar is an artist and creates a style that works with who you are...he is able to do both color and cut which is hard to find these days... He?s very down to earth and makes you feel immediately comfortable, he listened carefully to me and understood I wanted a great style and color that would be simple to maintain. I?ve gone to many other stylists who do what seems like a nice job, but when I leave the salon, I can never get my hair to look the same way. Oscar?s so talented, that it?s easy to get my hair to look the same way as it did at the salon. He also showed me how to style my hair with several different looks ? He?s the best stylist I?ve ever been to! Thanks, Oscar!

the BEST massage i've ever received!!

by helenagar

For a while, my friend had been telling me I should check out Spa Bar...that I HAVE to try out Paula or Ruby for Thai massage. I never bothered because I've been going to a really great therapist at another spa in my neighborhood. Finally my friend gave me a gift certificate =] so I booked with Paula.

**note: they both get busy so don't be surprised if you can't get in within a week of calling, especially for an evening (they're open until 10!) or Saturday appointment.

OH MAN what a massage...It was definitely something I'd never experienced before. She walked on my back, stretched me and cracked me all over. I want to learn Thai massage now! Paula's so sweet too. "Come once a week. I teach you!" I wish I could come once a week. If I could afford it, I would. The price is definitely worth it!!

• Pros: AWSOME SERVICE, valet parking, late hours
• Cons: they're busy (book ahead!)
