Forget "express"--the valued concept at this holistic spa is "decompress" and the magnificent wet lounge (including a three-story waterfall solarium) is free with most sessions. Soak up health and wellness through its water cures--a thermal hot tub, cold plunge pool, river rock sauna, and otherworldly Chakra steam room that harmonizes with color-cycling lights. The Eastern-leaning treatments align with the five natural elements and use only plant- and marine-based products.

Horrible experience
by aetienne at Citysearch
I went to GJS for a brazilian wax and I will never go back.
To start, the place was ridiculously hot and humid to the point that my hair frizzed up just waiting to check in. They point you down a hallway and tell you go upstairs and the technician will be waiting for but there was no one there so I had no idea where to go. I finally found the woman that was going to do my wax and she showed me to my room which was even hotter than the check in area.
When she came in, she confirmed with me that I wanted a brazilian. Most women know the difference between a regular bikini wax and a brazilian but the technician obviously didn't because she only did the front. It's uncomfortable enough having this treatment done so you don't exactly want to jump up and say - hey, what about the back? The wax was incredibly painful and when I finally got up, I noticed that she had ripped some of my skin right off and I was bleeding. I finally went down to pay with a gift card that was sent to several people at the magazine I work for last month and they tell me that it had already been used. The guy behind the counter said he was sure that it was a mix-up on their end, the gift card numbers were probably switched and then told me to pay for the treatment. I couldn't believe that I had to pay for a wax that was half-done and left me bleeding.
Avoid at all cost. For $10 more, you can have the same treatment done at Bliss, where they don't double-dip and the people know what they are doing.
- Pros: None

Amazing Facial
by brett03 at Citysearch
I had the best facial here to date. From the moment i sat down, everything was perfect. The women was friendly and clearly new what she was doing. Here at Great Jones spa they are very profesional and accomodating. I called last week and they were able to fit me in the following day. I definitely will be back here soon.
- Pros: Gentle and professional
- Cons: couldnt stay longer
