Great massage... weak on the "day spa" experience

by famfive at Citysearch

My 18 and 21-year-old daughters and I wanted to enjoy the afternoon at the spa - have a massage and a "milk and honey bath" - a treat for the girls... the massage was wonderful, particularly with Heather - but the facilities left a lot to be desired. There was really not much of an area for us to wait and spend time together - only a "quiet room" - no snacks at all (they were out of fruit and granola), no tea or coffee - there was ice water with slices of lemon in a dispenser. We had 2 hours between the massages since there were 3 of us - and really not much to entertain us - no jacuzzi or sauna - there is a small steam room which one of my daughters tried and said was "creepy". When we asked we were offered a select menu for a nearby restaurant - and they did deliver a half sandwich and a side salad for 12 dollars - a "special spa price" - which we ate in the "quiet room" where onlookers wondered where their food was I am sure. There was no patio or other place to eat it, and we were wearing robes and could not really leave to eat outside... anyway... I feel pretty good after the massage... will not likely go back to this facility though, at least not with friends or family.

• Pros: Massage was Heavenly - Heather was terrific!
• Cons: Facility not very inviting to stay the day...

Wow, what a find

by creativetimes at Citysearch

I am a New Yorker who was looking to have my hair done before my San Diego Wedding. The front desk staff went out of their way to find a stylist who would come in the morning after Christmas to do the job. Colleen was friendly and gave me a style which got compliments at the ceremony.

I fell in love with the quiet, luxurious rooms of the spa - so much so that I took my sister in law with me to get side-by-side pedicures. There happened to be two other sets of sisters-in-law there and I loved chatting with them. The ladies I hung out with spoke of how this place offers longer treatment times and better values than the typical luxury day spa. I couldn't agree with them more.

After the pedicure, the staff graciously provided me with a locker and a robe so that I could enjoy the steam room and the relaxation room. I could have stayed there the entire day!

I will definitely go back during my visits to San Diego and I know that my sister in law plans to return to this glorious place of pampering!

• Pros: Luxurious pampering in a friendly environment
• Cons: None

Relaxation in the heart of Del Mar

The first time I walked into this location of Spa Gregories I was truly amazed. Its like walking into a model home and yet you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in the door. The treatment rooms are huge and so peaceful..you can leave your worries at the door. I absolutely LOVE the products they use for facials and my skin feels so fresh and revived after going to Spa Gregories no matter what location I go to I am always impressed.

• Pros: Knowledgeable technicians, Amazing Location

My eyeliner is great!

by dmaryke at Citysearch

I recently visited Spa Gregories in their new location in San Diego. I have been an avid addict of theirs at the Fashion Island spa, but I decided to try the new spa. I had gone down once or twice for spa services, facial with Cami and Hair with Pam, I think those are their names, they were both great! This time I decided to have some permanent make up done with their artist Chong. This has been something I have wanted while dreading all at the same time. I have a tattoo on my body and remember the pain associated with that, so I was scared to get my eyeliner done.

Well I took a friend to hold my hand and just did it. I have never been happier!! It looks amazing and it was painless! Chong uses a method that doesnt use the tattoo gun, she does it by hand tools. I am 5 days post tattoo, completely healed and getting compliments all the time. Not to mention I look pretty good when I wake up, love that!! I highly recommend her and the rest of the staff there, they are truly living up to their stellar reputation at this new location!

• Pros: beautiful, convenient, friendly staff
• Cons: I am now hooked!

WOW!

I have been a fan of Spa Gregorie's for quite some time. When I heard they were opening a location in Del Mar, I knew I had to check it out. A few weeks ago, I attended their Open House event and was amazed. The event itself was offering free mini treatments and there were different vendors to talk to. It was a lot of fun and very informative.

The spa itself was gorgeous! I absolutely loved the beach/island decor.

During the event, I had a chance to talk with Dr. Blosiu, their on-staff chiropractor. He offered to adjust me, and let me tell you, I walked out of there a new woman! I felt so relaxed, and my back felt better than it had in years. I would highly recommend booking an appointment with him.

I will definitely be coming back down to the Del Mar location!

• Pros: Amazing therapists, beautiful facility
• Cons: none
