Parker Day Spa

I'm a 54 year-old man who needed treatment for rosacea. A highly recommended dermatologist treated my rosacea ~5 years ago. He charged me what I considered to be a very inflated fee to diagnose what I already knew was rosacea. This fee was then not even applied to my laser treatment which cost ~$1,000. He was then very belligerent when he learned that I had questioned his billing practices for a simple consultation. I needed the rosacea treatment again and knew that I wouldn't ever return again to this dermatologist.

My wife had told me about Parker Day Spa. I researched their site on-line and read some of the reviews. I met with Tina for a no-charge consulation and was very pleased with both her level of expertise and the wide assortment of treatment options at the spa. The prices were also very, very reasonable. After researching the CO2 laser, I was so impressed with the techology that I chose to have this treatment, not for rosacea, but to tighten my face and neck, as well as to remove some wrinkles. When I went back to be treated for rosacea with a different type of laser, I chose to have some additional touch up with the CO2 around my eyes, forehead and also to remove some age spots from my hands. I had commented to Tina that as a professional, I would never think of going to work in a wrinkled suit, so why not remove the wrinkles from my face and push back the hands of time a little. My wife also had CO2 laser on her face and neck after my procedure. It was fascinating to watch. Tina worked like an artist and was just very detailed.

In speaking of Tina, she let us know before the procedures what to expect. She performed the procedures beautifully. She gave us all of the pre and post op information. She also followed up with phone calls the next day to check on us and gave us her cell phone if we had any questions whatsoever. If you're considering having this type of treatment, I couldn't recommend Tina more highly.…

Queen for a Day. If you need to just get away for the day or just an hour or so PDS is the place to go. If you are not sure what you want, just call and talk to the staff and they will help you decide. For me there is no wrong decision because it is such a relaxing, soothing place to go. Tina is the owner and the most wonderful, caring person. YOU are important to her and the same for her staff. I have had many services at this incredible spa, as I have had traveling around the country and abroad. PDS is still #1 in my book. My latest is the fat emulsifying machine (Zerona). It really works even after your treatments are over. Not weighing myself, but when I had to buy smaller underwear now that is a GOOD feeling. That is results that count. If anyone ever has a less than expected visit,it should be addressed then and there. Tina is the one who will make it right, she is there to HELP not for the money.…

Love, love, love this spa!. So I went to Parker Laser for a CO2 Fraxil. It was not only one of the most reasonably priced, I really felt like I was taken care of. Tina, the owner is just an amazing woman, she does a lot for her community and I am a big fan!

Lots of daily deals too which I love!…

Decent mani/pedi, cruddy wax. I had such an odd experience on PDS. I arrived for my scheduled appointments and felt like a walk-in customer. I had to remind them that I had another service scheduled after I finished with my first.

The wax (legs and bikini) was spotty at best with many patches of hair not removed on my legs. The room was incredibly cold and the sink/trash area was dirty and disorganized.

The manicure and pedicure came out lovely and the nail tech (Jan, I believe) had several recommendations to keep my manicure looking fresh. Though the polish selection was plentiful, the polish itself looked dried out. I ended choosing the most fresh looking bottle rather than the color I originally had in mind.

In the end, I was relatively pleased with my nails and quite a bit underwhelmed with my wax.…
