I really enjoyed myself here. I had a great massage and the masseuse was great at finding the right pressure points. I have never felt so relieved or relaxed before now. They have...

I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. Upon entry I was questioning if this was an actual professional salon. I got a pedicure- and it was not good. The appearance of the s...

Awesome as they come!! 10/26/2011

I've been going to Ava's for two years for both cut & color. They're as awesome as they come. They do a cut and style as good as anyone on the planet and they're so much fun! I highly recommend Ava's salon. The reception staff is wonderful as well. more

Gem of a place! 10/26/2011

Getting a manicure/pedicure combo at this gem of a place is like a slice of heaven. The technicians are very skilled, caring and friendly. The place is comfortable, clean and inviting. You get high-end service at very reasonable prices. You leave feeling totally pampered with very happy feet and hands. more

Exceptional 10/20/2011

From the time it took to book the reservation to the end of the spa service, it was consistently exceptional customer service. My two girl friends and I were booking the week of the service, so the time we wanted wasn't available (all three side-by-side). However, Ava (the owner) went out of her way to call the other clients to see if they can accommodate for us. Although the other clients couldn't budge with reservation times, we still did not feel rushed at all when we were at the spa The bathroom smelled heavenly! more

Stress free! 9/23/2011

I personally love coming to Ava's. The atmosphere is immediately relaxing as you entered and you're always greeted with a warm, friendly smile. I usually try to get a massage at least once a month or every other, so I'm a frequent customer. Jessica (who I love!) is sweet and always helps me release tension and stress. I couldn't ask for more in a massage. more

A nice place to get pampered 9/23/2011

I like to get a massage every once in awhile just so that I can relax and get pampered. When I'm in St Paul, I always plan a visit to Ava's. My work requires me to travel a lot so I've been to a lot of different spas.. some good, some bad. Ava's ranks right up there with the fancy spas I've been to in New York or Los Angeles. Sounds surprising because it's only St. Paul, MN! But really, they do a great job and their staff is just so darn friendly, it's hard not fall in love with the place. It's also the first time I've gotten a facial that didn't irritate my skin afterwards. Major plus for people who have sensitive skin! more

UNABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK 9/16/2011

I bought 2 gifts certificates from Ava's website in July 2011. They were put onto my credit card, which is the only way to do this on-line. My total was just under $400. The next day, someone at Ava's ran the certificates thru my credit card again. I called Ava as soon as I got my credit card statement and she said she would debit my credit card for the over charge, but it hasn't happened yet. I offered to get my money back by either debiting my card, having her send me a check, writing me a check and letting me pick it up at the salon, etc, but I still don't have my money yet. Ava is only in the salon a few hours a week and I am told no one else can return my money to me. Ava will not return my calls. I don't know what to do, but I would NOT recommend buying a gift certificate off the website. I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone ever. more

What kind of massage is this??? 8/31/2011

Oh boy...so the wife and I had a couples massage here from the Living Social deal. Figuring it was on Grand Ave we were pretty excited, well, it's on the 7th and Grand intersection and the ""spa"" looks like it's one of ""those massage"" places with the neon lights and tacky decor. We were offered our wine before the massage, I wish there was a little more to disinfect my body from where I was about to go . The ""couples"" massage advertised on Living Social is more like a couple of massages since you each have your own closet to have your massage in. The music is loud (along with the lady out in front on the phone), and massage was pretty bad (guessing they didn't go to school for this) and generally made me count the seconds until it was done. After the massage we were offered more wine, maybe to give this place 2 stars, but turned down the offer. The best thing about this place is that it gave us plenty of good conversation for the weekend, entertaining friends with our story of woh and generally knowing that every massage we get from this day forward will be fantastic! more
