Review from Cori L.

Usually I'll post reviews when a place either angers me or knocks my socks off. I post this one because I don't believe many of the reviews for this place are accurate.
Anishas is a solid "alright" place to go. I'm not affraid for my health but I also do not feel extremely pampered. My impression is a lot closer to a doctors office visit than a spa - often I feel better as a result but it's more clinical. I've been here several times because of various deals but if I really wanted to pay full price and get the full indulgence of a spa trip I would choose somewhere else.
Services from Anishas I've had:
Manis: perfectly acceptable. Better than a little hole in the wall asian place. Attention to hygene is given here (a lot of places give me the creeps because of lax standards)
Pedis: slightly better than the average pedi except the time I had my nails done while in a body wrap which turned out poor and was just awkward. Nice chairs otherwise.
Massage: Technically correct, they try hard. I've had one really inappropraite therapist which ruined the whole experience. I usually prefer a "real" massage to a spa one anyway.
Facial: Nothing special
Body Wrap: I've only had wraps done at very nice spas and compared tho those experienced this is terrible. I could probably do this better at home.
Laser Hair removal: I have no point of comparison on this anywhere else but it seems ok even though I am a bit disenchanted with results. I've had 6 sessions at the point of review (which is what they tell you you'll likely need) Dispite being an "ideal" candidate for this having dark hair and light skin, I've seen very little actual results. This is an individual thing but it might also be a tech, equipment or type of laser thing. I hear other lasers might have been a better choice than the IPL. I've also waited up to an hour after my appointment because of tech was very slow. Another tech was so extremely rude the only reason I went back was because I had a package. The owner is really nice and fast in contrast but she doesn't do them much anymore... I'm going to do a couple more sessions just to see what happens and then perhaps switch laser technology. -

I finally used a coupon I had for here, and can't say I'd go back.
I had scheduled over email (which they provide the option on their website) a facial and eyebrow threading. First off they were 20 minutes late for my appointment. Then they proceeded to tell me that the person that did eyebrows was in India, so I could only have half of my treatment done. That upset me since this place is across the city for me.
The facial I received was ok....for the money not bad. I don't think I'll return for my other treatment, and try to obtain a refund for the remaining credits I have for this "spa". -

I went to AnishaS to use a voucher from Dealfind. The voucher was for: a 60 minute chocolate body wrap, a 30-minute manicure, 30-minute pedicure, and a 30-minute massage.
The unfortunate thing about this place is its location. It's in a gym, and there is almost no separation between the two areas, so in the waiting room you can hear the fitness equipment and the base in the music, which is less relaxing that I would like. The spa definitely is not your traditional spa, there is no relaxing lounge to wait in, no change rooms, lockers, showers or spa tub to use.
My appointment was on time. All of the treatments took place in one room, I didn't even have to get up. She applied the chocolate body wrap (seems like chocolate pudding, and then they cover it in saran wrap). The chocolate was cold, but I have no other complaints about the treatment. While the wrap was setting, she did the manicure and pedicure. These were pretty weak, with no soaking, no cuticle cutting, and pretty lazy shaping. I've done better jobs at home.
After that she used a warm cloth and a bucket of water to wipe off the chocolate mud. This process wasn't exactly painful, but it wasn't really enjoyable either. The cloth is rough and she scrubbed pretty hard to get the stuff off.
Then the masage, which she did the backs of my legs and then my back. It was nice, not the best or worst massage I've ever had.
The best part was at the end, when I was getting up to change, she had left a box of chocolates to finish off the treatment. That was a cute little surprise.
Overall the experience was fine, but it's not a very luxurious place and the manicure and pedicure were a disapointment. I probably wouldn't go back, but I did get my money's worth out of my Dealfind voucher.
