BEWARE!!!! – There should be negative stars for this. First, the place is a DUMP. On the walls, she displays tacky framed citysearch reviews (only the 5 stars, of course, which Im assuming she wrote) It's an unwelcoming and awkward atmosphere walking in to. I feel sorry for the desperate girls who work for her.. they don't last long when they realize the owner is a rat. She hires unlicensed therapists (St. Paul requires licenses to massage in salons) When you have a problem, she WILL NOT call you back. I tried to stop in and... read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! – TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They were deceitful over the phone and Ava (the owner) actually HUNG UP ON ME when I was explaining to her what happened!!! I was very polite; even the staff were taken back by what happened! My wife is pregnant and they knew that when we made our appointment and said nothing about a price difference for the couples massage; they said oh that's fine we'll just have her lay on her side. When we got there, they tried to charge us $42 extra! Instead of doing the right thing an... read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE – Wish I would have had to give it any stars. Bad customer service, massage therapist "forgot" she had an appt. and was over 30mins away from the salon. Ended up walking out of the salon without our massages and very unapologetic staff, in fact they were giggling over it. Waste of time.

Avoid at all cost! – Too bad I had to give it any stars at all, I would have preferred to give it a negative amount of stars. Owner exhibits absolutely no respect for her employees or her customers. The services are not nearly worth the cost either.

Wow, what a disappointment – My husband tried to surprise me on my 40th birthday with a couples massage at Eva's. Not only did he have to pay a deposit (have you heard of such a thing? tacky!) but 1. They told us to show up early to fill out paperwork and then weren't open at said time so we waited, 2. One of the masseuse's didn't even show up! 3. As i was filling out the paperwork I overheard the receptionist on the phone telling (I assume the masseuse) that she had an massage appointment (this was 5 minutes before our mass... read more

Hidden Gem – We spent a fantastic morning at Ava's, being completely pampered by Christine and Tia, their amazing nail technicians. The atmosphere is comfortable and calming and the staff is incredibly friendly. Additionally, they are very professional and obviously excellent at what they do. We all came away with gorgeous manicures and pedicures - probably the best we have ever received. We are definitely going to return to Ava's in the future!

Fabulous & Friendly! – Ava and Tia were really wonderful! They were kind and friendly. We had hair and make-up done for a wedding. They were efficient (all our hair was done on time) and detialed - if Ava felt a hair was out of place she sat us back down to fix it. Truly, the detail was wonderful! Also, there's a great little cafe next door with homemade food! Amazing for a quick bite to eat. The only con was that by the time the reception started a few of my bottom hair-pins had fallen out (and, yes, I had followed the rule... read more

One of my favorite places to relax and rejuvenate!! – When I first walked into Ava's I was pleasantly surprised at the cozy atmosphere there. I was immediately greeted with a smile and warm welcome by Tia. I had called that day to get in for their special manicure/pedicure. I felt so relaxed there that I decided to have a massage and a last minute haircut. (Shelly is an awesome massage therapist!! Her hands and her knowledge are impeccable!). Tia is a wonder woman! She did my pedicure and manicure, lip wax, and hair cut !! I... read more

before you make a decision to receive service anywhere call – reflection is this on your self or others or both, hmmm think about it. blame your self not others for what you do or dont do its you always been you! stand up to the plate AVA take responsibility. you are showing your true colors. im not the one to hurt you. you did this all on your own. if you dont care for yourself how are you going to care for your salon and the people who work there. wow you have a lot of nerve accusing me of writing a bad review i would neve... read more
