Harmonie European Day Spa

Help… my eyebrows and skin need Ashley Hagen. The owner should at least try to connect customers with their former employees. I was shocked that I didn’t at least get an email saying — thank you for your business. Very disappointing…

I called to set up my regular manicure and was totally shocked to see that Harmonie went out of business. I’ve been going to Tam for several years for pedicures. She’s the best manicurist/​pedicurist I’ve ever had! If anyone knows where she went, I’d love to know!

Ashley Hardy, formerly of Harmonie, is now working just next door at JEM Skincare. She is available for appointments Tuesday through Saturday. Please visit
for more details.

Really disappointed how Harmonie handled themselves when their business closed. To the customers and the employees. I loved this place and they did a great pedicure and my husband loved Crystal for massages. Thank goodness I know where she is now!

HEY EVERYONE! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC NEWS!
My mom had purchased a gift certificates for the both of us to have a mother-​daughter spa day and we were shocked to hear that Harmonie closed down.
THANKFULLY, we heard all the buzz here about GMS Art of Beauty in Los Gatos. They redeemed our certificates without a glitch and were simply DELIGHTFUL to be around. The atmosphere and service is awesome, awesome, awesome!
If anyone is in need, this is the place to be because my mother and I will certainly be returning!

Typical! Saratoga landlord fails to negotiate a fair lease price in bad economic times. This Is how we lost Buy n Save and other stores. It comes down to greed, I can say this because we work hard with our tenants to keep them in business, and we even lower rents.

I’m delighted to say that massage therapist Alexandra, a former member of the terrific Harmonie team, has found a new home at Preston Wynne Spa in Saratoga Village, just a block away. We’re currently in discussions with other members of the team as well. Harmonie was a good neighbor for twenty years and we are honored to be able to «carry the torch» for them and for the recently closed Pavia and InSpa of Saratoga.

I am a former employee Harmonie European Day Spa in the early 1990’s. Harmonie was the beginning of my career. I was a Spa Coordinator and the Patricia put me though school and for that I am very greatful. I have been in the field almost 17 years and love our industry. I am not sure why this has happened and there must be a good reason and am hoping they will contact all clients. I am now working on my own at the Los Gatos Nailworks 140 West Main St. Los Gatos, CA in the Opera House. I am more than happy to accomadate any clients in need of services.

I am willing to offer all new clients 75% off of my regular prices for thier first skincare treatment, booked by September 30, 2010. This is a GREAT deal! Please visit my website at

I found out about Harmonie closing two days ago from my nail salon, two doors down. Apparently Harmonie hadn’t paid their rent in 6 months, so their closing was probably no surprise to them, but a big surprise to their customers (imagine the poor gal showing up for her CONFIRMED appointment Monday!) I think the owners should be ashamed of themselves-​this was BAD BUSINESS for a spa that had been around a long while.
That being said, since Crystal has so graciously agreed to redeem their unused certificates, i’ll be contacting her at Art of Beauty in Los Gatos.

Imagine my surprise yesterday when I arrived for my appointment (after Harmonie had sent me a confirmation email I received Monday) and found an eviction notice on the spa’s locked door. I have unused gift certificates and have no way of contacting the owner.
Is anyone else in the same situation? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I chose this spa because I thought they had a good reputation and were honest. I don’t think much of a business that does not make an effort to handle their customers professionally.

I’ve been going here for years, their waxing services are professional, their staff is friendly and they’re always there to answer my questions and take care of me. Most importantly, they know what they’e doing!

since they raised prices i have not really gone back and i did recently. the only thing they’ve got is that they are clean… other than that they are super expensive for the services and so-​so ambience.
the waxer wasn’t that great. she was just okay. i really don’t like my eyebrows that thin and she did it so thin. massages were fine but WAY too expensive. I think $ 180! pls this is not Napa!

I’ve been going to Harmonie for a few years now, because after my first visit I was completely hooked! What used to be just the spa down the street from my work is now MY spa that I travel to several times a month, since that my employment has changed.
The thing about Harmonie that I’ve not found at any other spa (especially those walk-​in specials!) is CONSISTENCY. The customer service is always impeccable, the quality of spa services is always the highest grade. You get your money’s worth here, and it’s always well worth it. Since I’ve been there, I’ve gone through more than one ‘regular’ esthetician or nail artist. When one moves away, or changes careers, I get shifted to another, and even if a staff member’s style is different, the service is always consistently excellent. And I’m the kind of girl who likes variety in life, I thrive on change… just not when it comes to my eyebrows. :)
My husband loves Harmonie as well. They offer great services for men, and are very couple-​friendly. I’ve not yet managed to convince him to get a Maverick Pedicure (though he admits the masculine scent they use smells great), but he goes monthly with me for a massage and sometimes aromatherapy or a steam.
I’ve tried almost all of the different types of services they offer, with eyebrow waxes and pedicures every three weeks and massages monthly being my treatments of choice. The other treatments I’ve sampled largely because of their awesome e-​club. If you’ve gone to Harmonie and not taken advantage of this ‘VIP’ club, you’re missing out! It costs nothing, and every month specials and featured services get emailed to you, often with great discounts. Because of these «VIP» discounts, I’ve gotten to try facials, signature manicures and pedicures, massage options, steam baths, chocolate fondue trays, and many others for not much more than my usual services cost. And in your birthday month you get special member services you can add onto other treatments for free.
Yes, Harmonie is pricey. No getting around it. And contrary to what the list of services I enjoy there would indicate, my husband and I are far from rolling in it. However, when things got tight financially, and I was looking at losing my job in this economy, we sat down and figured out what we could afford as far as ‘extras’ went. We decided to tighten our belts in other areas. Yes, more often than not we have to wait a few months between massages, but we make it work. For us, visiting Harmonie isn’t a question of if we want to have a relaxing escape, it’s a question of what sort of a quality of life we want to have. And for us, there’s no going back.

This review isn’t about my experience there because I’ve never had a massage there. I did get my gf a spa package there for xmas and she was really excited.
I think it consisted of a one hour massage, pedicure, steam bath, facials, and other stuff. my gf said she loved it, so that means i loved it

Love Harmonie. Right when you enter the shop it smells so good. Lavender, chamomile, mint. very calming and soothing. I set myself up with a series of microdermabrasion appts. The clientele is friendly, welcoming and they do great work. I can’t wait to get my Micro done. I highly recommend. Afterwards, it’s nice to walk through Saratoga village and window shop or grab a bite to eat and the many restaurants. Thanks for making me look pretty

I love this place. I’ve been here twice — the first time for a facial and deep tissue back massage and the second time for a deep tissue back massage. The staff are always super friendly and as soon as I come in I feel relaxed.
Their deep tissue back massages are to die for and the steam shower afterwards — mmmm!
I’ll definitely be back :)

One of my new resolutions is to get more massages. So, after receiving a gift certificate to Harmonie for my birthday (thanks Mom!), I went to check them out. I also added a mani/​pedi as well… out of my own pocket.
I got there on a Friday evening after work around 7pm. I was surprised that they place was nearly empty.
The massage was nice… I asked for Deep Tissue since I work out a lot and am carrying a lot of stress these days. My therapist (Momo) really listened to me and paid attention to what I liked and didn’t. I would definitely choose her again. She was very nice.
I would skip the scented eye mask however, that they put on you halfway through the massage. It is severely oversaturated with scent. Lavender to be specific. Ugh. Headache city after a while.
My pedicure polish lasted a while. though it would have been nice to have a little more attention paid to my feet. I am a dancer… I don’t have supreeeeeemely gnarly feet or anything… but I do use them… and they need a little bit of scrubbing occasionally. I realize that I should keep up on that more often myself, but the manicurist only gave them the quick once over and for the money… ehh…
My French manicure did not last even a day, though and that was hugely disappointing. It’s not like I was digging ditches either… Hell, I didn’t even wash any dishes. I only took a shower the next day… but within 24 hours it had started to peel. Unacceptable. I did call them, and they fixed it for free… but…
The second time they used a heavier top coat. The manicurist explained that this top coat was better but it takes longer to dry. So, between the quicky pedicure and the quick drying top coat I kind of felt like I had been really short changed the first time around. I’m glad they fixed it but… I don’t think I’ll be back for that service.
Overall the atmosphere was nice and if someone got me a gift certificate I suppose I wouldn’t complain, but I don’t think it’s a real keeper.

Excellent, very professional Brazilian waxing – almost painless. Harmonie European Day Spa is very clean, quiet, and relaxing. When I was taken upstairs for my first-​time wax, my esthetician escorted me to a powder room where I could literally shower or freshen up before the procedure. Then gave me privacy to undress and later dress in the treatment room. She was very professional and explained everything she was going to do before doing it and make it as painless as possible. I received tips on how to care for the area post-​wax/​during the regrowth. I almost wanted to laugh because the esthetician had such a heavy European accent, but maybe it was real. No complaints about her work, though. While the prices were sort of high, I feel that you get what you pay for. When I went to Plum Spa in downtown San Jose for a cheaper wax, I definitely regretted it.
However, I felt that the pedicures at Harmonie are ridiculously over priced and nothing special (definitely not the well-​deserved «pampering» I was hoping for). I’d definitely go back for a traditional spa treatment, though.

Upside: European Atmosphere
The scent of lavender and the cleanliness create the best ambiance.
You walk around in your robe, among people in their robes :-)
Ashley very probably holds the record for the quickest wax removing technique. It’s almost painless. Oh, so smooth!
Their manicures and pedicures are just exquisite.
Open 9 to 9, seven days a week.
Downside: American Prices
…on top of it, unlike in Europe, they expect a tip!
