Great group experience

by Happyuser

Eight women gathered at Golden Spoon Spa to celebrate the special birthday of one of the women. We had the spa to ourselves for the whole morning. All of the women, who have been lucky enough to travel widely and experience treatments in the finest spas in this country and Europe, raved about the quality of the treatments ( which varied from massage, reflexology, facials to manicures) and the expertise of the aestheticians. We were treatly royally and thorougly enjoyed ourselves. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend it to others.

Quiet Remote Relaxing

by kitakatt

The spa actually feels more like someone's home. It is very cozy (quiet and relaxing; intimate) but it falls short of luxurious. The staff is nothing but polite, warm, welcoming, informative and skillful -- and, to their credit, that is probably what really matters. I loved my full body massage. My friend loved her facial but was disappointed with her manicure.

I am not sure where to park (perhaps ask the staff for a recommendation) -- we parked at the hotel and it cost over $20.00.

The Best Spa EVER!! ANYWHERE!!!

by llaware

I have been to many spas in my lifetime and The Golden Spoon Spa is by far the best spa experience I have ever had, I have gone to spas all over the USA, Canada and many foreign countries! The people were wonderful, kind and very encouraging. We received the best of care and we were the only clients in the spa so we were never waiting or interrupted. I can't say enough about the employees at this spa, courteous, friendly, informative and extremely kind. I will definitely go back to the Golden Spoon Spa on my next visit to Pittsburgh, as a matter of fact, I may go to Pittsburgh for the sole purpose of going to the Golden Spoon Spa!

• Pros: Highly trained and skilled employees, quiet atmosphere, superb care

Thank you again and again and again

by brownemily

I have been at your Spa a number of times and there is nothing better than a little pampering to get me through the week.

As my health has improved because of the many massage and facial treatments I recently had a detoxifying treatment. My thanks for your knowledgeable and welcoming staff, your diverse whole-health servicve and the relaxing environment. E. Brown

Okay, but overrated and money hungry.

by zerbertia

Overall the servives were generally professional, but I found it to be greatly overpriced given that the products (scrubs, masks, etc.) they use are not anything special, but in fact seemed of a somewhat low quality. The massage was very relaxing, but the pedicure was just average and the technician cut my cuticle until it was bleeding! Also, she tried several times to sell me some of their expensive vitamins, though I had expressed that I wasn't interested. The spa director's friendliness seemed a bit forced, like he really only wanted to do business rather than to provide the best experience for the customer. My experience at this spa was generally positive, but be careful that they don't try to squeeze extra money out of you!

Wonderful service and attentiveness

by inpsych

I visited a friend in Pittsburgh and found this spa on Citysearch before my visit. My friend and I were not sure what to expect, but we were both pleasantly surprised. It was fabulous! We received massages, facials, and pedicures. Every service was excellent. The staff was so attentive. It was a great start to my vacation! I highly recommend it.

• Pros: Attentivness to clients; you felt like you were the only person in the spa
• Cons: My pedicurist was a bit too talkative but she was very good at what she did.

One of Pittsburgh's Best.

by rlp24

My significant other and I recently spent an afternoon at The Golden Spoon Spa. It was one of the most relaxing afternoons we have had in awhile. I received a 60 min. massage, a manicure and a pedicure. He received a 60 min. massage and gentlemen's facial. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxing, soothing and private. The staff was attentive, extremely professional, very knowledge and kind. Each service was customized for us. We were the only clients there for the afternoon, which made the experience even more pleasant. We have been to numerous spas but the attention to fine details and high level of service puts the Golden Spoon Spa at the top of our list!

• Pros: Customized services combnied with an excellent staff to client ratio.

wonderful relaxing retreat

by ekornblit

I purchased the gold package and spent four hours being massaged from head to toe. I received a 75 min. massage, a 30 min. foot soak and smoothing. A delicious, yet spicy, salmon salad lunch, and a 75 min. facial and hand treatment. Each service was customized for me. The atmosphere is quiet and serene, and, as they only take one client at a time, the space was devoted solely to me and my comfort. for my birthday I was given a rose and the parking fee was subtracted from the cost of my spa services. I have been to numerous spas in NYC but have never been to a spa that was as personal as this one is. note: call ahead to discuss services first to make sure that you get exactly what you want.

• Pros: personal attention, no sales pressure, wonderful atmosphere
• Cons: parking fee

Great way to spend 18th birthday!

by birthday18

I surprised my daughter for her 18th birthday with a morning at the spa. I found this spa through reviews on the internet and decided to try it. The recommendations were right! This was a fabulous morning! We were treated royally and the staff was friendly and knowledgable! We had a body scrub, massage and a facial. The only down fall for us is that we live in Cleveland so we won't be able get back there soon enough!

• Pros: friendly, knowledgable, efficient
