  2. The only thing is that the place is huge and bit too dark for my taste.
wait time
100.0% positive
  1. Whether you are going in for a day at the spa or a quick brow wax, the experience is always wonderful.
  2. If my Burke Williams experience had begun with the luxurious 30-minute birthday bath and ended with a quart of the delectable cucumber water, this would be at least a four star review.
  3. My sister got me a gift certificate to Burke Williams for my birthday and I have to say it was the best gift she has given to me in a long time.

Nice but too expensive

by Strawberryn447

I had a facial, and it was good, however It was too expensive and really isn't worth the amount I spent.

Relaxation

by lovelife4539

Only ever gone for the massages and there are a few different ones from Swedish to athletic/deep tissue.

On all my visits, I've been happy with the services and left happy and relaxed.

wasn't great and to much money!

by Heather Falling

It's wasn't HORRIBLE but it wasn't an "aaaaa" moment either. It's just too much money when there are other places nearby that are MUCH CHEAPER but your body feeeels like it spent a LOT! People are kinda snooty too. I'm not from here but it seems that places like this almost want you to feel privileged for being there instead of thankful for your business!

Okay - for people who like massages

by DianaTakesaBite

If my Burke Williams experience had begun with the luxurious 30-minute birthday bath and ended with a quart of the delectable cucumber water, this would be at least a four star review. Flavored spa water is nice. Soothing baths with jets and aromatic additions are too. It's the massage part that, no pun intended, puts a kink in the experience for me -- someone who hates massages.

A 50-minute rub down that should be bliss is torture for someone of my ticklish/thin-skinned nature. Especially for $100+. Yet even so, if I was the type of person who could relax when being touched and probed by another person, Burke Williams would probably be the place I'd want to go for a massage.

And not just because of the cucumber water and oversized robes.

  • Pros: Cucumber water, birthday bath
  • Cons: Expensive
1 Star Rating: Poor

Big Disappointment

by LaughingDuck

Made an appointment a week in advance for seaweed wraps for my mom and I on my birthday and was assure that the seaweed wrap would be available (in December, they had stopped the treatment because they couldn't receive the product). Late in the day prior a message was left saying that the treatment was not available as they did not have the product (funny considering they require 24 hr cancellation of appts). When I called to work out another option, I learned that they knew of the problem several days before they called to notified us of the problem. On top of this, there was not offer of true apology. I cancelled and was luckily able to reschedule for seaweed wraps at Murad (even though the notice was extremely late) that were wonderful and much more reasonable (even got 20% off because it is my birthday month). Let's just say that Burke has lost my business.

  • Cons: Can't keep promised appts
