Essence Of You Day Spa

I'd just like to add that i too work at the day spa and recently moved here from the Boise area . Being from Boise i can tell you that the essence of you is exactly what a day spa of its caliber is suppose to be.
We have an amazing staff of people that are eager to please. Each department has very talented people in it that are considered the master in our industry. Here at the essence of you we work very hard to give you what you want, we pamper one client at a time.

Since working here i have received two services that are amazing, a mud wrap i would highly recommend that it was the best thing ever, made my skin moisturized and i was so relaxed i went home and slept 12 hours. I also received my first facial i know now what Ive been missing!!! I had a second one which was the fountain of youth facial and omg my crows feet are almost gone.

If for some reason your not happy with any of our services all you have to do is tell us, we are human too and make errors.

Have to say, when I first visited the Essence of You Day Spa several years ago, I was in awe of the service as well as the venue. The atmosphere was absolutely lovely, the employees delightful -- and it was the only place in town with products that tackled the problem areas of my delicate skin. Not to mention that the building itself -- a refurbished, historic home -- is a gem.

Sometime later, however (long after I'd begun referring to myself as a frequent customer), things seemed to unravel. Gone were the products I'd relied upon for my difficult skin, gone were many of the tandem services I'd so enjoyed with friends and family, and worse, it seemed the customer focus had faded entirely. Like another reviewer here -- I'd leave each appointment feeling as though I'd accomplished nothing, and wasted my money in the process. Still, I wanted to believe that things would improve, and that the wonderful experiences I'd had previously could be restored. It took a series of bungled appointments, and a rather embarrassing incident involving what was meant to be a wonderful gift for my friend (they certainly did their best to make reparations for their blunder, and I'll not go into detail, but some things can't really be rectified) to turn me off of this place entirely.

I whole-heartedly wish I could recommend this business to potential customers, but the best I can say at this point is that the building is still incredibly beautiful.

I wouldn't ever go here again. My friend and I watched the boss rip her employee a new one. It was ridiculous and the poor girl was so embarrassed, her eyes were welling up with tears. I would like to think it's not a regular occurrence, but after the boss left, all the employees were talking about how that's "just how she is". I watched them cower when she walked into the room. It was disgusting. I'm embarrassed for that lady. I don't think anyone should give money to a company that allows their employees to be treated that way.

so i want to say something about the last comment without coming off rude... k .. so i work at the spa and i really enjoy it so far... so i can totally relate to how u feel ... its hard finding someone u can trust to do ur hair (im growing mine out) ... and its just no fun sitting there waiting... and wondering is this going to turn out... right...
but with the alcohol thing i know that its not the only thing served ... and all u have to say is no thank you ...

with the color thats terrible ... but i know the guy he is just like me ... he does a great job and is willing to do whatever it takes to please the customer (ocd haha...).. and also i know that he wasnt fired from great clips you can go in and ask (its not a good thing so say about people when you say things about them without really hearing it from the source) ... id say a good time to just foil hair take around 45 min. .. and processing time around 30 min .. give or take a few ... and from what i checked that whole month he pretty much had 2-3 services per client... so im thinking there was cut or another color thrown in there... something .. if not well im not sure .. but im thinking it wasnt that 5-6hrs.. but im sure it felt longer..

but either way i know all of us ask what you think about the service and if there is anything else we can do for you afterwards.. we want all of you to feel great (i know i dont want to go to the mall and see something bad that ive done) ... and if it honestly doesnt seem like its what you expected than there isnt anything wrong with say you dont like it .. and i totally understand you already spent most of that day there but we are always willing stay later or re-schedule another day ... any thing we can do ...

also my advise is to try and get a client consiltation prior to the service if it is a color or something like that ... and also i wouldnt plan on doing a color or take alot of hair off ... any kind of change.. if ... your going on a trip...
or getting married.. you know some kind of speciall occasion... especially if your in a hurry .... color is just something that you shouldnt rush ..

and im not trying to come of rude or anything at all just want to show the other side thats all ... but i think the one thing that will solve alot of these things are just really tell us what you want and if you really do like how it turned out ... i always try and ask what was something you liked about it last time and what you didnt ... anyway if you have any question please come in and ask .. call 208-523-3333 or email me at muse86123@yahoo.com
thanks...
jose
and i did put my view for the spa (Rating) off of what ive had done... i always think there is room to improve... just let us know ..

i was going on a trip and i needed my hair done fast! so i called up a few salons in town and this was the only one that could get me in. i now know why. i sat there and while doing the consultation i was very uneasy about the whole process. i love my hair and its hard to trust a stylist. well my color was horrible, i could have done a better job at home. i couldn't even tell i got my hair done. when it took 5-6 hours to do. also while i was talking to the stylist i found out that they weren't doing color for very long just cutting hairat a cheap salon like great clips or a place of that sort. i talked to my friend after and she told me she knows the person and that they got fired from great clips. when I'm paying 95 dollars for a color I'm expecting a GREAT color. that's definitely not what i got. they have bad professionalism, i heard things i didn't want to hear or want to know. also they serve alcoholic beverage's and I'm a alcoholic in recovery and i saw employees drinking while working. i wouldn't go back there if my life depended on it!!!!

I found my solution!
I moved to Idaho Falls a few months ago. My skin was flaking and my feet were dry. It's always hard to find a good spa to go to.
I was lost.
My coworker suggested The Essence of You. Good choice! The best pedicure since I moves from LA. Great product's, great costumer service. They just got new client.

This place has the worst estheticians ever! They don't even know how to do a brazilian! I got the worst bikini wax of my life, and I've had plenty. I've never had bruising a peeling rash, like after going there! They let hair dressers wax eyebrows and they don't even know what RUBIS tweezers are! It is a serious disgrace to the profession! I will never ever go back! Where are the good salons in Idaho Falls?!!!

I love this place. Having moved from a large city where upscale salons and day spas abound I was initially pretty disappointed in the local places here, but then I found this place. The services, surrounds and professional attitude of the employees can compete with any place I have ever been anywhere.
