Editorial Review for Litespa – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Located near 12th Street and Yale Place, this peaceful spa makes it easy to forget the work day. The waiting area features a comfy sofa piled with throw pillows and plenty of magazines. Friendly staffers put newcomers at ease with a tour. The signature treatment is endermology, a European technique that uses steam, light, color, sound and vibration to shape the body. Basics, from massages and facials to nail treatments, are also available.

I went for an express Manicure/Pedicure. The "express" still cost $80, so it wasn't exactly cheap. However, the service I received was the worst manicure/pedicure I have gotten this summer in Minneapolis. The express does not involve any lotion (which it does at other salons) apparently (even though she tried to sell me on their lotion, of course). Who is going to buy something that wasn't even tried on them? I'm not certain if a regular manicure would be better, as the polish on my fingernails was done so sloppily, I was peeling it off of my fingers in big chunks. If I wanted my fingers painted with my fingernails, I can easily do that myself. Definitely not the work of a professional manicure. Bottom line--don't get the express at this salon if you want a real manicure/pedicure. $80 at this salon does not get you the same "express manicure and pedicure" that you can get at other salons in the area. I would recommend JUUT, which I have been to multiple times before (I couldn't get an appointment in time) instead. And watch the woman (asian, name started with an M) that likes to polish fingers in addition to nails--if you must go, make an appointment with someone else. I won't be going back.

I have been to LiteSpa several times for bikini waxes. The first few times that I went I was very happy with the service, the waxer was very professional and made me feel comfortable in a normally uncomfortable and painful situation. She also did a very good job. However, the last two times that I went in I had a different waxer, I'm not sure if the other woman left or was just unavailable, but I couldn't get an appointment with her even upon request. The new waxer was okay, but she did a horrible job. She didn't remove all the wax and I was picking little bits off myself for the rest of the day (extremely painful!), and she didn't remove all the hair. It looked awful. The next time that I ended up with her, I told her I wanted her I wasn't happy the first time, and although she got all the wax this time, she didn't do a complete job and I was left will a lot of stray hairs. It looked terrible. After two bad experiences I decided not to return. I have gotten much better service at other places and for much better prices.
Pros: Atmosphere, location
Cons: Price, quality of service, pushy sales peopl
