Fri Sep 11 2009Rozina is an angel from facial heaven and The Spa on Paces is my personal heaven on earth! I have been seeing her monthly, for over a year now, and have had everything from the Oxygen/Vitamin C facials, to the 4 layer facial, to peels. I am very picky about my skin care since I have ultra-sensitive skin. I can honestly say, Rozina customizes my skincare to meet my personal needs and she makes my sensitive skin seem not so sensitive! I’ve never had an adverse reaction to anything she has recommended or done to my face. In addition to providing great advice on skin care, she has a very therapeutic touch as she explains what she is doing and why it’s good for your skin. I love the products she has used with me, but I also love her facial massages and how she truly relaxes you. I’m a very inquisitive customer, so I ask questions about certain products, techniques and procedures – Rozina always answers and educates me. My skin has improved greatly since I have been seeing Rozina and I follo... Read more

Wed Jul 15 2009I have been to Rozina a few times and she is wonderful - she truly understands skin conditions and the spa has excellent facial products. It is unfortunate when I call during business hours, I can rarely get anyone to answer the phone and when I left a message no one called me back. When I complained to the owner, she simply responded their voice mail was having issues but did not provide anything for the inconvenience. The same thing is happening this morning and I am once again looking for another spa as no one is answering the phone. This spa should go to an online "make a reservation" system if they can't cover answering a phone during business hours.

Tue Jun 09 2009I went for a much needed massage and JAIME was THE WORST massage therapist I have ever been to! She was rough, and I felt like she didn't really know what she was doing. I have given my husband the same caliber of massage at home with no training! After the massage, my upper back actually swelled up and became so sensitive to the touch that I couldn't even lean back on a sofa!! I called to let them know about this absurd reaction the next day and that I wanted my money back, and their answer was that I didn't drink enough water. I informed them I had received many massages and knew the protocol about drinking plenty of water and that in fact I had been drinking only water since leaving the spa the afternoon before. They informed me that JAIME was the manager, the same person who had given the massage, and that she was out of town till Thursday. She didn't even take my phone number so I am not expecting a call. I will be calling Thursday to discuss this with JAIME and let her know tha... Read more

Wed Apr 01 2009I wanted to try a new spa experience for my birthday and a friend recommended I try something different. I always look for smaller spas as opposed to those big "fast food service" spas in the area. When I arrived I was surprised to see how cozy the placed seemed, with big comfortable chairs and a pleasant staff. I was immediately offered water and then escorted upstairs into my first service which was a signature facial. The aesthetician was amazing, one of the best facials I've ever had. The young lady took her time, always checked to see if I was comfortable, and was very informative with any questions I had. I then had a deep tissue massage which was wonderful. Deep tissue massages aren't easy as most people don't know how their muscles will react to the pressure. This therapist knew when to be easy and when to press while always making sure I was relaxed and satisfied. During my appointment I never felt like I was being rushed, or pressured in and out of the spa like others. I was... Read more

Tue Dec 16 2008I have visited this spa on several different occassions and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience each time. The staff is always courteous and friendly and my visits are usually for therapeutic massages. Each time my massage has been wonderfully relaxing. I prefer this spa to other's as they make each person feel special and take time out to understand your needs prior to providing service. I have and will continue to reccomend this spot to my friends. The atmosphere is relaxing and tranquil.

Tue Dec 16 2008I went to the Spa at Paces for a much needed manicure. The person at the front desk was very kind and courteous. I loved the ambiance and scents and felt more relaxed just after a few minutes. I was guided upstairs and sat on a couch waiting for my appt to officially begin and was greeted by one of the massage therapist. My nail care technician was Dana. She did an excellent job and made something as simple as a manicure a relaxing, pampered experience. My experience with the staff convinced me that I must return for additional services! I here they are regarded as THE place to go for eyebrows so that will probably be my next service.

Thu Oct 16 2008I went to the Spa on Paces to relax the day before I took the LSAT. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating, and I really liked the look of the spa. When my therapist, Jaime, greeted me she took me right into my massage room and told me to change and hang my stuff on the hook. I was a little surprised, because for a spa that boasts "Celebrity/VIP Treatment," I didn't understand why there wasn't a changing room. I ended up folding most of my clothes and leaving them on the floor, since there was no way to hang all of my clothes on a hook. When my therapist returned I let her know that I just wanted to relax. I never had the opportunity to relax the entire time. The massage was extremely rough and she kept shaking me to see if I was relaxed or to get me to relax. After my hour of pain and torture, I felt terrible. To top it off, they don't offer a shower room for you to wash off the oil. They don't even give you a towel to wipe off. You have to get dres...

Sat Sep 06 2008I was really looking forward to this visit and unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed and out $225 at that! One thing that struck me was that the place was trying to be upscale, but failing miserably. The paint on the walls looked poorly done and it had a feeling of a mediocre place trying to be something it was not. I had signed up for a body scrub with massage, mani/pedi and an eyebrow threading. The girl who gave me my massage was too rough and even though I asked her to lighten up on the pressure, she was still too rough. Also, even though body scrubs are supposed to be somewhat abrasive, I felt like I was being rubbed with sandpaper. I would also say, that as a frequent spa goer, I was dissapointed in the way the room was designed . Many places that offer this have a shower in the room. The person scrubs you down and then you shower the scrub off of your body, The girl doing the mani/pedi was nice, but not even 2 hours after the mani, the clear coat began to peel. Al... Read more

Sun Aug 31 2008I discovered Spa on Paces as it is next door to my hair salon (Zapien's). Wanting to relax one Saturday, I booked a 4-layer facial and a 1-hour massage. The facial was incredible and the esthetician was very informative. She educated me on the products she was using and how I could improve my skin. They have this amazing line called EMINENCE which is organic and made in Hungary- I ended up purchasing a pear & poppy seed microderm polisher as I loved it so much during the service. The massage was terrific as well and I will definitely come back as I left completely satisfied.

Thu Jun 26 2008I tried this spa after a friend said they were the "berries". I thought the massage lacked and the facial was dated. I left feeling like I would have rather gone to the gym. I understand that places have off days and this just might have been one of them. The front desk staff was very nice and the place was clean!

Wed Jun 25 2008I had been having some problems with my skin and had a big success here. The microdermabrasion helped me a great deal. The menu of services is extensive and although pricy, not more than other places of similar caliber.

Thu Jun 12 2008In June I came with my husband to celebrate our anniversary, we had such a fabulous massage, I decided to come back and try a manicure. Their menu changed a little bit since I'd last been, so I tried the revitalizing manicure. I didn't think I had the patience to sit through an hour service but I am so pleased I did. I was pampered to the fullest, warm towels, massage, and the best part was the yam & pumpkin peel. This stuff not only smelled good enough to eat but it really helped my hands look and feel great. I could definitely make a habit of this! Spa On Paces, thanks for the yummy manicure!

Sun May 25 2008Husband and I went for a couples massage on our day off as a little treat. We read the reviews here and had high hopes for Spa on Paces. We really liked the entry and the decor/feel of the place - not like being processed at Spa Sydell - but that's where our enjoyment peaked. The massages were weak. I expect to leave feeling a bit like jelly and almost sleepy from the relaxed state it puts you in. Instead I felt like some woman had just run oily hands over me for about an hour but barely touched my muscles. My husband's was a little better, but we agreed it was the worst either of us had every had and was definately not worth what we paid. We won't be going back because we did not feel we got the relaxing, de-stressing experience we expect from a massage.

Fri Apr 25 2008While the massage was first rate, my spouse and I paid $200 for a couples massage. The website boasted that with this fee champagne and fruit would be included. As a couple, my spouse and I looked forward to that. Instead, there was no champagne and there was no fruit. After the massage, we were taken to a room and given what I presume to be tap water. I could have gotten a good massage at Massage Envy for $40, but instead I chose to go first rate assuming I would be receiving all the perks associated with the pricey massage. I was, essentially, disappointed. So if you want a good massage, fine, go ahead. Just don't pay for any extras because you probably won't get it.

Tue Nov 27 2007Spa on Paces is hands down the best spa in Atlanta. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. When you are in this paradise, you actually feel like you're in another country and all that's around you is pure peace. Looking for a gift to give a loved one or someone who really needs to feel at peace, this is one of the best gifts in Atlanta, GA. Thank you Spa on Paces for giving me perfect peace...

Sun Oct 07 2007Presently a resident of Houston, I scheduled an appointment at this spa while on vacation in Atlanta. I highly recommend this spa based upon the exceptional service, ambience/atmosphere and professional, friendly customer service. Tomiko eased me to sleep and relieved muscle tension during my 60-minute deep tissue massage. And, I appreciated Jamie's friendly demeanor while she made me feel welcome & comfortable soon as I entered through the doors. The next I am in Atlanta, I will be sure to visit Spa on Paces again. Job well done ladies!

Wed Sep 12 2007I love the Spa on Paces! I've been going for more than a year, and they are always so nice and accomodating. Ask for Rozina -- she gives great facials!

Sun Jul 08 2007Wow! I have to admit, not being a "Spa Guy" - I wasn't upset, but wasn't overjoyed when I found out my wife and I were booked for a couples massage as a gift. I was sure it'd be fun, but did that mean it would be great? I didn't think so to begin, as I'd been through many massages at spas and other places in the past - I'd even been a sports massage guy in college for a 2 yeat stint - and that led me to the firm belief that many spas and therapists were, sadly, overrated. But now, well folks, you're talking to a Spa convert - at least a Spa on Paces convert. When we walked in at 11 am on Sunday morning, we were met with a friendly smile, escorted upstairs to fill out some paperwork, and while doing so, we were offered drinks and fruits. Nice start to the day to be sure. Then the fun really began. Our massage team came out and introduced themselves and then took us to the couples room, where two tables are set up side by side, candles are lit, and a small water fountain makes n... Read more

Mon Sep 25 2006The Scene The Tuscan terra-cotta walls and earthy tones give this Paces Ferry spa a warm, welcoming feel. A recent European-inspired re-design of the spa traded in formal frilliness for a more soothing environment featuring an indoor garden for lunch and private couples massage room. Pure Southern hospitality exudes from the smiling staff. The spa's calming atmosphere, far from hip or snobby, should make anyone feel comfortable. The Services The lengthy, varied menu of reasonably priced services includes microdermabrasion, hot stone massage and a 90-minute pedicure. An exfoliating and tanning treatment leaves clients glowing like bronze statues. Aromatherapy is popular and choices include rosemary, geranium and grapefruit for balance and citrus and rose for energy. Even a basic massage feels indulgent because of enthusiastic therapists, extremely quiet treatment rooms and soothing classical music. The Details Massage, body treatments, facials, hair removal, sunless tanning, manicure/... Read more

Mon Jul 31 2006Rozina Hughes is by far and away the best aesthetician in Atlanta to go to for bikini waxes. I am a wimp when it comes to getting brazilians but she makes it fast and painless. She is also a perfectionist; I highly recommend her!!

Fri Jul 14 2006I've checked out tons of websites and researched on many spas and the moment I came upon Spa On Paces' website I knew it was the one. I came from out of town in Augusta and took 2 of my other friends with me. We all schduled ourselves Rejuvenation Day packages and the experiences we had were simply amazing. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable 4-hour pampering journey I've ever had. I started out with a massage by Jamie, then a facial by Rosina, then a soothing and comforting manicure/pedicure session by Aionee, all these to end it all with a delicious lunch and a glass of wine to complete the package. The only regret I have is that I didn't have time for more services done as I wanted to get my makeup applied by Sam. I was humbled by the experience and will be sure to come back again. Great Job!

Mon Jul 10 2006I am a male and I like to shop around the spas and check out the services they provide and I stumbled upon Spa On Paces few weeks back as I was getting my hair cut next door at Zapiens. I wanted to have my eyebrows groomed and a relaxing/pampering facial done. They recommended a threading for my eyebrows and the end result was tremendous. I immediately was converted to the use of threading for eyebrows because the threading doesn't hurt as much and after 2 weeks my eyebrows were still in shape. The threading obviously lasts longer. I had the therapist show me how exactly threading works on my leg hair and it was quite interesting! I then had my facials done in what they called an ultimate facial. Just a great, enjoyable, and satisfying experience over all. I highly recommend this spa for all.

Sun Jul 09 2006Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. As a surprise gift she scheduled us for the couples massage and a manicure/pedicure for me. I can't tell you enough how absolutely wonderful the experience was. Kudo's to everyone on your staff. From the moment we arrived until the time we left this was one of the most pleasant and professional experiences I have had and you should all be commended. The massage and other services were all first experiences for me, but your professionalism quickly removed any anxiety or apprehension I may have had. Thank you all, again, for everything. We'll certainly be back soon and often.

Sun Jun 18 2006Relax and enjoy a day of pampering at this quiet little buckhead spa. Just off of West Paces Ferry, you'll find this quiet little boutique spa. Unlike the corporate spas, you won't be hearded around this lovely and newly renovated boutique spa offering luxury services, great values, and warm customer service.

Sat Oct 23 2004The Spa on Paces is a delight. I was looking for a top-quality spa, without the attitude you get at most Buckhead spas. I have finally found it in The Spa on Paces. From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel like a queen. My sister and I were whisked upstairs to a posh waiting room where we were offered water and magazines. When my glass was empty, a kind lady rushed over to fill it. The manicures, pedicures and facials are top-notch. Bona for facials, manicure or pedicure (A+), Lina for manicures or pedicures. AND the wonderful, talented Kat for facials and other body care. For the best spa in Atlanta, minus the pretentious snobbery, visit this hidden jewel!

Fri Sep 20 2002I sincerely feel the previous comments were from the competitiors of Spa on Paces. This is one of the most beautiful day spas in Atlanta and I have never experienced such quality and personalized service. This day spa is a hidden secret and is definately a "top spa."
