Not worth your time – I went to Alta Spa to have a massage and a manicure with a friend. The staff are lovely and they did a good job, but the place is an absolute dump. For the manicures we were stuck in this tiny room next to a hair basin. There wasn't even enough room for both of us so I stood by the door so I could chat with my friend. No massage chairs, only a basin to put your feet in. I felt like I was in someone's home. This place is way too expensive for what you get.

I was very unhappy. – The manicurist was a lovely woman-foreign. She was thoughtful and gave a nice leg massage. The pedicure facility was not great. It is, at least, in a private room. The polish product is OPI. You put you feet in a basin. The pedicurist straddles a bench type thing and has you put your feet up on the edge. The bench slides back from your foot being on it so the pedicure needs to be stopped so the bench can be moved forward again. Since they advertise themselves as a "spa", I did expect spa type chairs and... read more

WORST Spa Experience EVER – I got a Half Day of pampering as a gift that included Mani/Pedi, Massage, Facial. The massage was average at best. The facial was not great (but i had never had a facial before so i'm not a good frame of reference for this), but the Mani/Pedi were egregiously heinous. I am a student, and I have always lived in big cities: i've always paid for the $10 Manicure at a really cheap place. Those really cheap $10 places not only do a job that is 100x better but even the ambience was better at those place... read more

Amazing Massages!!! – I went to Alta Spa for a couples massage in November '06. It was to surprise my boyfriend, as we both needed to relax and get catered too. When I made the appointment, I was shown the room the massage would take place in. The rooms are upstairs in a different part of the building, but it's only because they needed more room. It's a really relaxing set up in the upstairs. The woman even sampled the sugar scrub on me, showing how it works in case I'd be interested in that. She also showed me other service... read more

Never again – Where to begin... This "spa" is overpriced and understaffed, not to mention shady. I am African American (my parents are Nigerian) and I love helping fellow Africans but these women could not braid. I payed 300 for braids that unravelled within 2 weeks of having them done. The ones that didn't unravel slipped out the following week. I waited over 15 mins for the woman who was to braid my hair to actually get to the salon for my appointment (the appt, mind you, that I had to pay a percentage deposit to secure). ... read more
