Healing Wizdom Salon & Spa

Let me start by saying that my visits with Cheyenne at Healing Wizdom Salon and Spa have helped me more than I ever expected. I started seeing Cheyenne a few months back to try and help with the constant lower back pain I was experiencing. I was just hoping to get some sort of relief by getting a massage. I see Cheyenne weekly and it?s helped me beyond what I could?ve ever imagined. I rarely have lower back pain now and she?s helped with my neck and shoulders as well to prevent further problems. I will continue to use her services, and would recommend them to everyone! Thank you!! more

I have been going to Healing Wizdom and Creative Colours for years and have always received wonderful, friendly, skilled treatments and services. I have honestly never had a bad experience and I have received treatments from most of the staff. This is kind of amazing for a small business. Waxing, facials, massages, hair cuts- all excellent. After receiving a massage from Annie the other day, I finally decided to post a review of the place- it really deserves the great praise it gets. This is definitely a ?mom and pop? type of place and is unique in its decor and vibe. This is not a sterile medical spa experience or a corporate spa. This is a place where everyone will get to know you and you will feel welcome. This is a place run by real people, for real people and the service is gentle and warm. But again, what is most amazing about Healing Wizdom is the quality of the therapists. From the moment you walk in and throughout the whole service, you are completely taken care of and given options in your service, which I really appreciate. How many times have I received a massage and never been asked the most basic of questions: what kind of pressure do you like? I like strong pressure and I have had to tolerate more than one massage that felt more like a rub (never at HW) and I get tired of having to ask the therapist to increase pressure. Annie was very thorough in her massage- asking me about my problem areas, what kind of massage oils I like, pressure, focus, etc. Then she continued to check in with me throughout my massage to make sure that the pressure was appropriate. And man, was it appropriate! I felt like there was no place in my body that was ignored, although there was the proper focus on the back, just as I like it. Not only was the pressure excellent, but the pace was perfect. I hadn?t really thought much about massage pacing before this massage, but her rhythm was so slow and steady that I couldn?t help but notice how spot-on it felt. Nothing in this massage felt rushed or sloppy. This was an amazing massage and for the price it is really a no-brainer. I highly recommend Annie and Healing Wizdom in general. Go. Pros: excellent & amazing therapists! amazing massage and waxing! Cons: small slightly cluttered spaces more

There is such a warm energy that you feel when you step into Healing Wizdom. It?s not just the great services they provide, but the compassion/friendliness of the staff that makes Healing Wizdom extra special. A conversation that you had with a staff member last month feels like it naturally picks back up again when you return to Healing Wizdom for your next appointment. It makes you feel like they genuinely care and take an interest in you. more

Had a wonderful experience at Healing Wizdom spa in Reno on Plumb and Arlington. Though I thought I had never had a massage before, my daughter informs me that I had indeed. I guess it was not a memorable experience ? Pros: The staff and the effects Cons: none more

It was a first time at getting anything waxed and was pretty nervous, I wanted to get a Brazilian. I came across Tamara while doing some research and let me tell you these reviews do not lie. She is the best! To my surprise I got a call from Tamara the day before my appointment. She reassured me and told me she was the best and not to worry. I thought this was great; someone I didn?t even know was calling me to let me know it was going to be ok, and it was like a pep talk. I was really thankful she did that, plus it showed just how dedicated she is to her clients. It?s seriously not as painful as you would think. Yes there is a little pain, but we are pulling a lot of hair out of our body at once. However, at Healing Wizdom you can buy a topical cream that numbs the area (I recommend for first timers to put a little more because it needs to get past all the hair). Tamara is so great, and fast. She did the first strip before I even realized it. So far I?ve gone in twice and the second time is a breeze. You know what to expect and it?s even faster than the first time. I had no problems afterwards, either. Healing Wizdom has this great after product that helps heal the area faster. It feels like icy-hot but is all natural. I use it on soar muscles too. I am addicted to Tamara and am glad I finally took the plunge of getting a Brazilian. I feel so much more confident in my swimsuit. more

Tamara at Healing Wizdom gives the best Brazilian waxes, hands down. I am a 3rd year graduate medical student in town and have searched endlessly for someone that does it right. After 4 salons and 7 aestheticians, I finally found someone that really knows the ins and outs of giving a great wax. After my first appointment with Tam, I was amazed with how long I was hairless. I had no growth at all for much longer than ever before. After other waxes, I had gone home and plucked all of the little pieces they had missed, but Tam is thorough and meticulous. Her techniques are such that healing time is almost zero. By the time I get home from my appointment, all of the redness and tenderness is virtually gone. Everything that she does shows her knowledge and expertise in female anatomy. The best part of the experience is that Tam makes it nearly painless. The appointment is all about you. You don?t have to ?hold here? or ?get on all fours,? she does it all for you, making it possible to actually relax and even enjoy the process. Pros: techniques, ambiance more

I have had infrequent massages, in many cities over the past 20 years. Part of the reason for my sporadic patronage has been the inability to find a masseur that I love and can fit into my schedule and budget. Lucky for me this problem has now been solved in finding Jamie at Healing Wizdom in Reno. Jamie is one of the best masseuses I have experienced. I enjoy a deep tissue massage, bordering on painful and for such a petite person Jamie?s strength and talent is truly remarkable. Her spiritual approach to healing is also an added delight that I have rarely found. I would recommend the spa as a unique space with an informal but professional experience, and Jamie, well she is a rare gem indeed. more

I'm from Brazil and I've been waxing nearly every month for about 10 years so I know the deal. Ever since I came to the US I've been trying to find a place that does a decent job. I've tried fancy spas, top rated waxers, everything you can imagine. Most places are too worried about being fancy and end up doing a horrible job. Many spas will do all they can to make you comfortable but when it comes to waxing, they have no clue what they are doing. One lady bruised me, the other waxed me on a chair! And all of that for $70!!!!!! And then I found Tamara! At Healing Wisdom they make sure you are comfortable and relaxed, and they do it all for you (no hold here, pull there). Tamara has her own tricks and techniques that make it pain free. She cares about your comfort, gives you hot stones to grab on to, uses a hot towel, especial oils and lotions, tweezes the little suckers that get left behind, and leaves you all nice and smooth! I had not been that smooth in a long time. Best of all, it lasts! She really knows what she is doing! Only one way to describe it: PERFECT! No use in wasting your time going anywhere else. If you are a first timer, then you definitely want Tamara ! Pros: relaxing, pain free more

Switched to Creative Colours Salon about 4 months ago and I LOVE it. Shirley has been doing my hair and she is excellent. She actually listens to what you want, make suggestions on what she thinks would look good and does it. Everyone is very friendly and the salon is super cute! more

I went to Healing Wisdom to receive my first ever Brazilian wax back in May in preparation for a trip. I was really scared, being a newbie, but the gals at Healing Wisdom did a great job trying to relax my fears. Needless to say, I've continued receiving this service each month ever since my first visit. Pros: Best Waxing more

I have been going to Tamara for a few years now and she is wonderful. Not only is she the worlds best waxer but she is also fabulous with cuts and colors. She stays up on the trends and knows what looks good on people. She makes it her goal to be the best at what she does and enjoys teaching others. Tamara has a great spirit and energy about her that makes your visit more then just your average trip to the spa or salon. I always leave feeling better then when I arrived. There is a great energy there. Great place! Great people! I highly recommend anyone give Healing Wizdom and Creative Colours a try. Pros: Waxings Cons: None more

I moved to Reno 3 years ago and have been through several stylists looking for just the right match. I met Shirley Love at Creative Colours through a promotion she was doing with houseseats that offered a first hair cut at no charge. I was so happy with that cut I?ve continued to see her for my subsequent hair care. She?s a great person who is more than willing to listen to what I want, make suggestions for things I might not have considered, then give me a great haircut that keeps me coming back again and again. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a new stylist. Pros: Great Service, Great Prices Cons: Parking lot can be difficult to navigate late in the day more

I just moved to Reno and found this Salon on citysearch reading the reviews. Shirley, my hairstylist, did an amazing job touching up my roots to match my existing hair colour. I love my haircut and since they use organic products, my hair does not feel dry. Pros: Friendly and experienced staff Cons: Small shopping center, hard to find more

Healing Wizdom was by far the best waxing experience that I have had. Tamara was wonderful, and truly helped to melt my stress away ? even during a wax session!! I was immediately at ease when I visited the spa ? everyone was incredibly friendly. I was recommended products that worked and were far less expensive that some of the useless stuff I have tried. This will be my choice every time I need a wax ? and I can?t wait to try out other services as well! Pros: Best Wax in the NW Cons: Can't Think of One... more

If you love your hair and your wallet, Creative Colours is for you! They really know how to take care of your hair! I get my hair done by Shirley every time. Shirley always leaves me looking fabulous and I feel fantastic knowing my hair looks and feels great! I love the compliments I get on how nice my hair looks. Creative Colours is the only salon for me! Give it a try, I promise you will not be disappointed! more

My therphist was awesome!!!! I from Texas and thought I celebrate my 40th bdy with my son who attends college in Quincy. I had so much fun and relaxation once I recieved my message from healing wisdom Pros: Better than I expected Cons: none more

I went to Creative Colour today (9/9/09) and go the best hair cut I have had in years! The staff there is so nice. I loved going there and I must say that I never want to go to an other salon again. their hair products are amazing and mostly all Organic. Pros: best place i've been to Cons: none that i had more

This was the first time I have ever gotten my hair colored and Shirley was fantastic. She promised that my hair would be fantastic and when it wasn't quite what I was looking for, she re-did it for free. The process was quick and easy and the atmosphere was open and friendly. I have told some of my other friends about it and would recommend this salon for anyone. more

I absolutely hands down LOVE this place!!! I went to Healing Wizdom for my first bikini wax ever. Bryna was my aesthetician and she instantly knew that I was quite apprehensive about the process. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed right from the get go. She was so friendly, explained the entire process to me, told me everything step by step as it was happening?she just made it so easy! The environment is so relaxing, harmonious, clean, and private. I honestly think that this spa is the best one I have ever been to, not only because of the beautiful facility, but also the friendliness of the staff. Bryna did amazing work, and was so helpful and professional. I would recommend Healing Wizdom and Bryna?s work to ALL my friends and family! more

Jaime,my massage therapist here, is the best massage therapist I've ever used. She is caring and talented and will do what you ask her, the room was so inviting, and the ambience was just outstanding. The choice of oils is yours,and there are hot towels for your feet and hot towels for your back . The price is right too ! call for an appt-they are open Saturdays too. \r I truly felt relaxed and a part of the family, there was a hot cup of tea for me when I walked out and no\r pressure to leave till I was ready to go.\r I will never leave this place as a client-the search is over for the best massage in town!, more
