I wont make this too long because not much needs to be said. I had a GREAT time at Surfaces. The salon itself is probably the most beautifully decorated on Solano avenue. I thought I was in a five star hotel spa in Beverly Hills or something. Service was excellent, music was relaxing and it was a very comfortable atmosphere. I am going to be a loyal customer but, I might suggest that they get a very handsome male massage therapist hehe. Other than that, flawless.
Pros: Facials
Cons: Alittle tough for me to find

Great service and wonderful results!!! I've been coming to the Surfaces Spa since I discovered it 1 year ago. They offer great facial and wraps. I've experienced both. Wraps really work and you can see results right away. It is amazing! The facials done by Val are doing wonders. My skin is really improving with each session. I would strongly recommend this place to everyone.
Pros: Great service and Val
Cons: None

There is no way this place should even have the name "spa" in it - it was awful! The service was terrible on both the wrap and facial, including but not limited to the rude demeanor and lack of professionalism by the staff, the remodeling going on in the same room as the treatments, and the fact that I left with irraited and raw skin that lasted for days right before my wedding. I have been to a number of spas, and this by far is the worst. The treatments seemed like they were performed by folks who have never had any training, and the sessions were consistently interrupted by construction folks walking through the rooms. I was very disappointed and expected much more from a spa on Solano Avenue. Stay away!
Pros: None
Cons: Service, treatments, staff professionalism

I'm totally impressed with Surfaces. The service is excellent and the facials have been showing me that I can actually use less products and get better results. When I go to this spa I can leave everything behind and just relax and enjoy being treated like a queen. I can't wait for my next facial there.
Pros: Service, facials and skin care
Cons: none

LOVE their products. Owner Vel actively promotes a "Less is best" attitude toward skincare. I was a skeptic at first, since I was using a 6-step, chemical-based line from the dermatologist. Now, just cleanser, "serum" and a little eyecream... easy! And my skin is surely healthier than ever. I recommend this line to everyone I know. Good for "problem" skin or just anybody! Facial services feel sooooo good, Vel has magic hands. Very soothing. I like the results from photo-rejuventation too. Ambiance is contemporary and tranquil, spotlessly clean! Scheduling can sometimes be a little confusing, but with some flexibility it always works out. I'm a devoted client, I like the simplicity of her products and services.

I received a gift certificate and I left this spa in bliss. The facial and massage was fabulous. I learned a whole new way to care for my face and body. The place is beautiful and the staff is very knowledgeable and kind. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and the next time it will be my gift to myself and worth every cent.

I moved to this area about six months ago. I had so much skin care products and my skin was still not like I wanted. Still breaking out in my forties. After a few facials at this day spa, I finally feel like my skin is making progress. My friends are commenting on my skin. They really know their stuff!! The products are great and organic. Their concept on skin rehabilitation is what I've been looking for and didn't know it. Less products, better skin! I can't beat that. I thought the more you paid for products, the better. I was so wrong and glad to have found a place that makes it simple.
Pros: Beautiful spa

This place is a nightmare. I've purchased a gift certificate for Valentine's to my wife to the Surfaces, and it turned into a very unpleasant marathon of haggling with the rude owner of this shop. It started with them charging my credit card twice, to being completely unresponsive by phone and email, to not wanting to offer a weekend slot (because they already got the money for the certificate!), and finally messing up the schedule, so that when my wife showed up, they claimed her session was the previous week. during the whole time the lady had such an awful attitude that you wouldn't want to get relaxing massage there anyway...
Pros: ?
Cons: Terrible service, unresponsive

I passed by the new Surfaces, the Spa a week ago at night. It was so beautiful I was intrigued. So, I made an appointment. This is their new spa. The place is really gorgeous. What an eye for detail. I felt so special. Everywhere I turn, I was surrounded with a great ambiance. They are not quite thru yet, but I can jsee where they are going. My facial was unbelieveable. I have never had a facial like this before. They were thorough and I felt like a million when I left there. I WILL BE BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN. Thanks for thinking of people like me when you planned your new location. It truly made me feel special. G.Matson
