WOOD HOUSE DAY SPA

Every time I visit Cincinnati from Seattle, I try to stop in at The Woodhouse Day Spa for a visit. The first time, I had traveled for two days and had a splitting headache; the pleasant receptionist made some recommendations for treatments for travelers and headaches, which both ended up being perfect! I definitely recommend the "headache relief" treatment! Private, quiet, and the therapists are professional and courteous. Setting is comfortable and clean. Shopping area is a lot of fun too! An A++ in my book. Pros: service, ambience, setting, great massage therapists more

After searching for day spas in Dayton as a gift to a friend and finding the options limited I decided to broaden my search to include Cincinnati and I'm so glad I did. I signed my friend up for the Gentlemen's manicure and a massage, imagine my surprise when he suggested we get the couples massage. We walked into Woodhouse and were immediately greeted and shown to changing areas. The robes were comfortable and the slippers will massaged your feet all by themselves! While my friend was getting his manicure I was asked to my delight if I would like to soak my feet in the foot bath while I waited! Next came the massage with hot stones...what an awesome experience. We both commented on how neither of us has had a more pleasurable experience in a day spa before and we have had spa experiences in various parts of the U.S. as well as outside the country. I would happily recommend Woodhouse Day Spa to anyone looking for 1st class treatment in a 1st class environment. Pros: Ambience, Staff, Lighting, Music, Tea Cons: None more

My husband gave me the "12 Months of Christmas" package as a gift, which entitles me to monthly visits to The Woodhouse for the service of my choice. I admit I was a little concerned before the first time I went, due to some bad past experiences at other spas. I had no reason to be concerned - the atmosphere is so peaceful, and everyone is so nice. I'm never rushed, and I love sitting in the quiet sitting room with a cup of tea before and after my massage. The robes are always soft and inviting, the music soothing, the scents pleasing. My favorite so far is the volcanic stone massage. more

I have visited this Spa twice. Both times I have had a wonderful experience. My husband and I went for couples massages last fall for our anniversary. As soon as we walked in off the busy street, we were instantly calmed by the smell and the quiet atmosphere, and the relaxing music. The robes and sandals are very comfortable and the sitting room with the snacks is resort quality. There is no rushing about from the staff or the guests. We both thoroughly enjoyed our massages; my husband's first. We also added on a Hot Stone Treatment for me and a Shirodhara Scalp Massage for him, which we also enjoyed very much. My second visit was for a spa pedicure, for which my husband won a gift certificate from the radio station. I was treated exceptionally well and I am looking forward to coming back soon! more

Being a guy I was hesitant of visiting a spa but my girlfriend convinced me to go. The staff at Woodhouse were welcoming and made me very comfortable. I had the peppermint scrub pedicure and it was great. I'm looking forward to another one. more

As a male and a first time visitor, I had a mixed bag of emotions as I walked into Woodhouse Spa back in early March. Whether it was nervousness or masculinity, I was quickly put at ease with the friendly staff who greeted me at the front door complimented with relaxing music in the air. The staff walked me to the men?s changing room and provided guidance on what to do as I waited for my female counterpart to arrive (who was treating the two of us for both our birthdays). After slipping into my robe and sandals I was seated in a private room with dark wood floors and plush chairs and offered a beverage and snacks while I relax. After my girlfriend arrived we were guided to our couples massage room where we sat side by side and underwent a full body massage. The two women who provided the service were very professional and friendly from the moment we introduced ourselves until we walked out the door. The overall experience was something I highly recommend and plan to do once again in the future. more

After a lot of searching the "perfect" spa, I have found one in the Woodhouse! From the minute you walk in, you feel that you are getting luxury service and pampering. The decor of the space is truly inviting--elegance mixed with home design comforts. This is the only place where I hope they are running late, so that I can enjoy the serenity of the waiting room. The service is excellent--the staff are wonderful and make you feel comfortable-even for the first-time spa visit! Overall, it is a great place to bring friends, family, or relax in your own self-indulgence! more

Everything at this spa is top notch, from its management, products, ambiance and front line staff. It's also THE place to go if you're looking for an eco-friendly spa experience. Pros: eco friendly products more

The Woodhouse is by far my favorite spa in all of Cincinnati. I like to get massages about once a month for stress relief. I also get pedicures and manicures periodically throughout the year. The experience at the Woodhouse is so much more relaxing than other places I have been. They go out of their way to make you feel like you are being pampered. You do not simply wait in a waiting room for your name to be called. You are put in a clean and comfortable robe, offered tea, coffee, capuccino, cookies, etc. while you relax and prepare for your service. The massages are wonderful and you can never hear other people talking or walking around outside. The pedicures are wonderful also. The Woodhouse does a great job of making you feel pampered and the best part is, it is comparable in price to all those other places :) I was recommended to this place by a good friend, and now I always recommend the Woodhouse to my friends and family. Pros: Service Quality, Experience of Relaxation, Friendly Staff Cons: I wish there were more places like this! more

From the moment I walked in the door at the Woodhouse Spa I was impressed and feeling right at home. I felt as if I was a guest in a friends home and was so comfortable in the homey atmosphere. It was clean, peaceful, and relaxing to say the least. The customer service was outstanding, the robes and slippers were so cozy, the relaxation room was a perfect setting with the hot tea and snacks, and of coarse oh yea the massage was one of the best I have ever had! It was everything that I was hoping for and more. I was so impressed with my overall expereince that I will definelty come back when I need a relaxing massage or just time to feel like I went on a mini vacation right in my own backyard!! This spa is unlike others in that from the moment you walk in you feel like you are at a resort spa. I was so relaxed when I was finished I left the spa and driving home realized I forgot to pay my bill!! I called immedietly and told them how sorry I was and my only explaination was that I was sooo relaxed I wasn't even thinking about the bill nor did I care what it was it was because I knew that it was worth every penny. This spa is a must! Give it a try and you will feel pampered and right at home. Pros: Atmosphere, Customer Service, Overall Experience more

My husband and I enjoyed a romantic and relaxing couple's stone massage together at The Woodhouse Day Spa. As our first experience with Spa's in Cincinnati, The Woodhouse Day Spa has definitely set the bar high. We enjoy rewarding ourselves anytime we can, whether on vacation, as a reward or gift, or simply just because and The Woodhouse Day Spa made our first experience in Cincinnati absolutely wonderful. We were treated like guests and given all the comforts of a massage at home and more. The robes and slippers were oh so comfy and the ambiance of the spa was phenomenal from the aromas to the soft music and dimmed lights. The staff were great and very accomodating to all of our needs. After spending a relaxing day together, my husband and I were even more touched to receive personal thank you notes from the staff at The Woodhouse Day Spa. From the minute you walk into their doors up until days after your treatment, you will feel pampered, relaxed and rejuvenated by visiting Cincinnati's Woodhouse Day Spa! Pros: Ambiance, Amenities, Full Services, Staff Cons: Book early, as they are very popular! more

I could go on and on about the AWESOME massage I received at the spa, but it was the extra mile that my hosts went to that really made it an incredible experience. Someone passing my car in the parking garage had noticed that my lights were flashing, so after I was already changed into my robe I had to re-dress, go to the garage and check it out. It was nothing, but by the time I got back inside I was a little flustered and 15 minutes late in starting my supposed relaxation! Not only was Monica wonderful about me holding up her schedule, she told me to take a few extra minutes to relax before we started so that I would enjoy it, because it was all about me (being the mother of two young children, it's never about me so that was really nice!) I still had my hour long massage, even though I went over (luckily there was no one booked behind me), and Monica made it a wonderful experience, I think I would even say the best massage I've ever had. As if that weren't enough, the gentleman out at the desk told me when I checked out later that he had gone down to the garage himself after I went in for my massage to make sure my car wasn't acting up again! I was so pleased....it made for a really nice end to what had been a stressful day (because of my car and other stuff). It is so rare to find good customer service these days, and I really felt like Woodhouse went above and beyond what they had to do. I will definitely be back!! more

The Woodhouse Day Spa is a great place to go if you're looking to treat yourself to a relaxing afternoon to rejuvinate yourself. As soon as you walk your experience starts with the wonderful aroma that fills your nose and starts to make you feel better already. The building is kept in immaculate condition. It has a very soothing look and feel to it. You have sandals and a robe that fits your body and foot size like they were made specifically for you. I've only been in for the sports massage package, but it has helped me tremendously through a 6 month 300 game softball season each of the past 2 years. The massages help fix the abused muscles and let me continue to function normally. The employees are always very curteous and nice. They treat you like the King or Queen you came there to be treated like. The employees offer up suggestions like exercises that would help you with your sore muscles and keep your body in working condition. The oils and rejuvination lotion they have used on me continue to work for hours after I leave the Spa. The only thing I feel is a negative is that the pricing is a little expensive compared to other comparable Day Spas. Overall it is a wonderful place and that is why I haven't put any effort into finding another place to go and have my body worked on and rejuvinated to get me back on track. Everyone looking for a massage or other form of therapy should try this place out just once and as you leave you can sign up for your next session. Pros: Ambience, Customer Service, Skill, Building Condition Cons: Price more

Relaxing Rejuvenating AHHHH!!!! What an experience, Once you step foot inside the front door of Woodhouse Spa.

As a first time customer at Woodhouse Day Spa, I was more than impressed with the services they provided. On my first visit, I received an hour-long facial and pedicure. From the moment I walked into the spa, I knew I was going to satisfied with my experience. My facial was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. I was able to completely let go of all of my anxiety and allow the calming atmosphere to relax me. The facial made my skin feel immensely clean and refreshed. I was then escorted to a room with very friendly women who made me feel completely comfortable while receiving my pedicure. The women were enthusiastic and wanted nothing more but to make sure I was satisfied with their services. I left Woodhouse Day Spa that day realizing that I deserved and now needed to receive such services on a regular basis. I try to come into the spa as much as possible, because in all honesty, nothing relaxes me more. Pros: friendly staff, clean enviornment, experienced and professional services more

From the minute I walked into the Woodhouse salon, I was relaxed. The salon was beautiful and the staff was so friendly. The relaxation room was peaceful and I was immediately offered water and a magazine. Quickly, but not too soon, I was lead to the private pedicure room. Fantastic!!!! The chair was easy to get into, the room was perfectly lit for a relaxing afternoon and everything was so clean. For 60 minutes, I was able to relax in a beautiful, quiet, and private room while I had a pedicure. I will never need to go anywhere else in Cincinnati for salon needs. My toes looked great, my feet felt good and I was so relaxed!!!!! Next time you need to go to the salon, go to Woodhouse! Pros: ambience, parking, staff friendliness, cleanliness, service Cons: none more

My girlfriends and I love to frequent spas. We have been to spas all over the country and the world; Hilton Head, Tucson, Paris, the Bahamas, etc. and have never been able to find the combination of atmosphere and skilled technicians in CIncinnati. We have now been to the Woodhouse Spa twice as a group and have had manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages. All were awesome. In addition, we were given a private room to have lunch and drinks in between services. The comfy couches and relaxing fragrances and lighting made us feel as though we were far from home. It was as if we were on vacation...no plane fare required! This is truly a relaxing place; great for rejuvenation and for doing some serious bonding with your friends. I have been to many spas in Cincinnati and this one is definitely the best. Pros: Atmosphere and capability of the staff Cons: Private pedicure rooms, unless specified that you want to be with someone. more

I received a gift card for my Birthday, when I went to the spa everyone was so nice. I had a Minkyti Facial - it was GREAT! I also found out that the spa does body wraps. I started with my legs and before I knew it - I was in love with the way my body felt and look. I LOVE IT. I go every month to get the facial and body wrap. The facials are so amazing, so much better than any facial I had ever had. Now that I go to The Woodhouse I have great skin. If you have acne or a skin condition this is the place to go. I didn't think I could ever get my pores so small. JUST TRY THIS SPA!!!!!! Pros: Ambience, Esthetician Knowledge Cons: Parking more

I was very happy with my experience at the Woodhouse Day Spa. I had to organize a girls' weekend get together for all my Chicago friends who were coming in town. I wanted to find a spa that would impress these big city girls and that would be able to accomodate all of us at once. Woodhouse was perfect-the staff was very willing to work with me and to make sure all of my girls were able to enjoy our epxerience together at the same time. They even offered to bring in extra staff to pamper all of us, if necessary. Everyone was thrilled with their experience and Woodhouse even wrote me a personalized thank you letter the following week. On top of that, it was probably the best message I've ever had-in Cincinnati or otherwise. I would definitely recommend this experience and will be back again. Kathy Kirlin more

This is by far the best and only true day spa in Cincinnati. I have been a client at Mitchells foreve and thought I would give them a shot. They blew Mitchells away! I have already been back 3 times. Thanks for coming to Cincinnati Woodhouse! more
