I love going to Alta Spa! I have been a customer for more than 13 years and have never been dissatisfied. Awura Abena is professional and fun. I'm always well taken care of, whether I go in for a haircut, a pedicure, a waxing or a massage.

Best Hair Cut Ever – The best hair cut I have ever had is by Awura Abena. I have visited her salon on and off for the past four years. Every time I am satisfied and leave with confidence. I have had my hair cut all over the world, London, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, of all the hair-salons I have been, I am most satisfied with Awura Abena's skills. I am very picky and like to keep my hair long. When I first saw her I had gone months without cutting my hair and I had split-ends galore. Somehow she managed to cut off all of th... read more

Best Waxer in Town! – Awura Abena is wonderful, inviting and knowledgeable! I went to her after being told by a friend to find a local place that does sugar waxing for a Brazilian. I went to Alta Spa nervous but Awura made me feel very comfortable. I will not go anywhere else for waxing! The sugar wax is great because it lasts longer than normal waxing by 1.5-2 weeks and my hair grows back softer and slower. I also got a great pair of earrings while there. I highly recommend if you want a great quality sugar wax!

Don't go here if you want to relax! – I received a gift certificate for a massage here and it was less than enjoyable. The person who did the massage seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. There is clutter all over the place in there. They definitely should NOT have Spa in their name. When I think of a Spa I think relaxing, this was not relaxing. When I was getting my massage her CD skipped and she made the comment "well, at least my phone didn't go off" Wouldnt you think that you would shut your phone off?! Definte... read more

Enjoyable service at Alta Spa – I have been going to Alta Spa for a number of years. Awura Abena(the owner) is wonderful. She makes you feel right at home. She has provided me with lively conversation, gourmet coffee and even food from her country (Ghana) while I received my wave nouveau. I always have a great time when I go there and come away with a great perm and hairdo.

Private and Relaxing – If you are looking for a private session, Alta Spa is the place for you. Awura Abena is the owner and service provider, very pleasant and gives her best to the job. I visited this place after two years and I have seen that Abena downsized the place by closing the upstairs rooms, but the attention to customers' convenience and quality is the same, it is very good. I went to the spa for a regular facial after a long time. the service went beyond what I paid for -- she also extracted blackheads and gave m... read more

ALTA SPA OFFERS SPLENDID SERVICE AND RESULTS – I have been extremely well pleased with every element of service offered at Alta Spa. Awura Abena, the owner, is pleasant and thoughtful and the ambience is very charming and welcoming. Today was my fifth visit to have my hair trimmed and once again I was delighted with the results. My hair is an odd mx of coarse and curly, with an area that is soft, and it requires close attention to cut into the waves and bring out the best in it. Most hairdressers give up on my hair, and actu... read more

best place to relax – I have been going to Alta Spa since I moved to Ithaca two years ago. The shop is full of really beautiful interesting clothing, jewelery, pocketbooks and beauty products and the owner is very knowledgeable about hair and skin care. In this age of discount/express services, Alta Spa individualizes services to meet clients needs and personal preferences.They take the time and make the effort to get to know their clients and give personal attention. The energy is very calm and inviting. When I have had a c... read more
