The Scene
Dark chocolate-colored walls, natural wood and high ceilings set the tone for this Durham day spa, giving customers the sense that they'll be pampered without pretension. Daylight pours through the windows in the manicure room. A dish of Jolly Ranchers adds an extra dash of indulgence in the pedicure room. The informality here is as comforting as a big, fluffy bathrobe.
The Services
With a treatment list set up in the form of a restaurant menu, the Body Cafe encourages customers to select from its assortment of "appetizers," "entrees" or "desserts." Pedicures are done with the luxury of a foot Jacuzzi and lumbar massage chair, although the pedicure room feels a bit cramped if there's more than one customer inside. Custom packages and "combination platters" are perfect for mixing and matching services.

After a not-so wonderful spa experience a few months ago, I tried this place just a few days ago and I was thrilled with the service and the atmosphere. I will definately return. Try their facial! I am always aware of friendly and positive feeling staff, and this spa had great attitudes. Facial was great, relaxing, unfortunately I don't recall the estatician's name but she was very professional and allows me to relax and didn't talk when she realized I needed peace and to not be interactive.

The service you receive at The Body Cafe is extraordinary!! Cheri has been doing my hair for years and I am so excited she is back as the owner. Anyone with short hair knows how hard it is to find someone that can actually cut short hair, and do it well. Look no further. I receive compliments all the time on my hair and I always tell people I owe it all to Cheri. She is amazing and she truly cares about all the clients that walk through the door. You will feel like you are a part of the family as soon as you enter. Everyone there knows the importance of customer service and it shows!! As I said, The Body Cafe is THE best salon and spa... EVER!!!
