When you first enter Bodyjoys
Day Spa, you are taken by the stylish appearance, fixtures
and cleanliness of the entire establishment. This is a very
modern
facility
with a very diverse selection of services. I would like to
mention that parking seemed not to be a problem here, even
when they are very busy, as they have an overflow lot behind
their
main
building. From salon services to massages and
facials; you can expect nothing
but
pampering
here.
The staff was warm and caring individuals, we have to mention
Tiffany, Janette, and Andrea, all whom provided services for
us during our review. The personnel we meet were very courteous
and professional in the performance of their services.
Bodyjoys is not only a spa which
allows you receive treatments and salon services, but one which
you can relax and spend a good part of the day if you choose.
They even have a room where you can enjoy lunch if you are
going to be there during lunch.
When we arrived we were shown to a reception area and offered
a beverage. In moments we met our spa staff members who provided
our services. Very likable personalities, every one of them.
Our female reviewer received a "Fantasy Tan". You ask yourself,
What is a fantasy tan? It is a sunless tanning process by which
a formula is applied to the skin. It causes a chemical reaction
with amino acids in the skin to produce a tan, much like the
sun does, but without UVA and UVB damage to the skin.
She was first, given a sea salt body scrub to
remove excess dried and dead skin. Then the formula was applied
to her skin via an air brush. Fantastic results, she had a wonderful
glow about her without the hazards of the suns rays.
The treatment last
anywhere from four days to nearly two weeks. It has been over
a week since the treatment and she still has a wonderful tan.
Skeptical at first, she is very pleased with the results of
this procedure."This, is the only way to tan!",
she reported.
Very stunning results, with no tan lines and a very even tan
all over her body. This is a must try, for those of you who
would like that glow of the sun, but none of the harmful rays
from the sun or tanning beds.
Our male reviewer received a sports massage and
it was fantastic! Every therapist has there own technique and
our male reviewer reported that this lady had a very gifted technique
in getting the kinks out without pain and with no disruption to
the relaxation state already set by the therapist.
He also received a pedicure from Bodyjoys," ..something men
are doing more these days," reported the esthetician.
We have found this to be true as well from
reader response. Men are starting to care more for their
feet as well as an increased growth in manicures and facials
for men.
The pedicure esthetician was just as good
as all of Bodyjoys services. Bodyjoys is
a great find for us
and we highly recommend you give them a try when you are
in the New Orleans area. They offer many many more services
than what we have just described and we invite you to check
them all out
on
their web site.
We would be remiss in our duties, if we did
not report how we loved their product line. The AHAVA,
and AVEDA products used on our reviewers where exceptional.
The samples sent home with them are truly appreciated and
are used daily.
In Summary ...
Bodyjoys location is great
only minutes from the French Quarter or just six short walking
blocks
from
the
Avenue Inn, where our reviewers stay was hosted. They have
an easy in and easy out location. You can even arrive here
from the St. Charles Streetcar, they stop in front of Bodyjoys.
From the services we received, we have no hesitation in rating
this
day spa tops from our viewpoint. Here is a day spa that
covers many services and delivers pampering and specialty
services like the Fantasy Tan, (you just have to see the
end results to be impressed as we were) and all at affordable
rates. A very enjoyable stay at one of New Orleans finest
health spas.
Thank you for joining us, and see you at the
spa. Review Team for Finest Health Spas
