Editorial Review for Tova Yaron Day Spa & Salon – by Daniel Liszt

The Scene
Since the turn of the century, this 4,000-square-foot spa has been attracting women of all ages--whether they have long-standing appointments or suddenly need a break from a shop-till-they-drop expedition. The bright reception room displays a variety of beauty products for sale, while just beyond the glass doors, the softly lit waiting room boasts Greek-inspired architecture, chic ergonomic couches and complimentary fruit and cookies. Treatment rooms line a long, cream-colored hallway, far removed from any mall-related disturbances.

The Draw
Tova Yaron, the proprietor, hails from Israel and has integrated minerals from her native Dead Sea into some of the spa's body treatments, including the signature Dead Sea Salt Glow. In addition to an array of traditional and sport-specific massages, the spa also offers foot-reflexology massages and popular pedicures. For a unique treat, schedule time in a hydrotherapy tub.

The Details
Whirlpool. Massage, body treatments, wet treatments, facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, full-service salon, makeup application.

After reading all the reviews, my girlfriend and I wanted to try it for ourselves so we booked a facial and a massage. Both she and I were disappointed with both experiences. The facial felt amateurish in the way she handled my face. After massaging my ear lobes for what felt like half an hour, she left "white stuff" in my ear. She did not massage my temples or shoulders. Granted she probably knew I was getting a massage thereafter, but if the description says "shoulder and neck massage", she should have obliged. The facility was nice but bathroom was a little dirty. They offered snacks but there was only one apple and an orange in the fruit bowl. There were plenty of parking for it is located inside a mall. Perhaps those who have had a great experince had a "better" person. I may give it another try but not anytime soon...

Pros: Plenty of parking

Cons: Inexperience facialist

Not worth the effort of going there. Owners are fake and from what I saw they not only are this way with their customers but also with their employees. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
