Mezzaluna Day Spa

Mezzaluna is a small, cozy, friendly spa tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Westwood’s business district. No, it is not a huge factory-​like spa where you’re one of 20 people who have an appointment at that time. It’s a more intimate setting with soothing Native American décor.
I have been a client at Mezzaluna for years and have always left happy and refreshed. The girls at the front desk are always very sweet and professional. The therapists are great and really care about your experience. I most recently went to Mezzaluna for a facial right before my wedding. I told Megan (the woman who does facials) that I was getting married in a week. She was extra gentle on my skin, and my skin looked amazing the day of my wedding.
This spa is clean, friendly, and relaxing. They run specials throughout the year for different services. If you’re looking for a factory-​like environment where you’re herded like cattle from one room to the other, this is not the place for you.

Have been coming here for over ten years. Small, cozy, relaxing place that beats the huge spa «factories» any day. Quality service and experienced staff. Reasonably priced with good specials.

I always come to Mezzaluna for my massages. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I never had any issues here so perhaps some reviewers on here are just impossible to please. Also, regarding the décor… if you can’t seem to «find the connection», then you’re looking too deep into it. It’s Native American themed. There is no deep connection, it’s how they chose to decorate. If you have ever been to Arizona, you would understand that the whole Native American culture gives off a very spiritual and peaceful vibe. That is why they decorated it this way. It is dimly lit so that you can close your eyes and nod off peacefully. So unless you like bright lights and a sterile setting, give this place a shot and enjoy!

I have been going to Mezzaluna on and off for years since it’s opened and have never had a bad experience. Because of time, I couldn’t go as often as I’ve wanted to. It’s clean, the Native American décor is unique and the music played is so soothing and different from other spas. Prices are reasonable and you can’t beat the specials!! Since I’m getting married in 3 months, I’ve found time to start my Bridal Regiment. The receptionist was very knowledgable and helpful. As I waited, since I was early, she was friendly as well. My facial was first, Meghan is amazing. She took her time, made sure I felt comfortable and made it a very relaxing experience. I was glowing and my face has never looked so good! For the massage, I had Katie. Another amazing experience. She was great! She asked questions about my work-​outs, work, sleeping patterns, headaches and stress level. She was able to work on everything, other places I’ve been to before, they ask you and never address your issues. Katie certainly did! Both ladies were on the same page with my return and how many times needed up until my wedding day. Of course, I’ve already made my next appointment and will be making one more before the big day. I also plan on returning after the wedding to continue to work with them. Thanks Meghan, Katie and Mezzaluna for giving me a much needed, relaxing afternoon!

I’ve been going here for almost 15 years and I’ve never had anything less then perfect. Great massages and the one facial I got was really nice. Everyone said my skin looked amazing for days. I see many reviews about the décor and people not liking it. I can say this because I’m bergen county born and raised. It’s not fancy and sterile looking enough for all the bergen county snobs who want it to be all marble and stone and cold icy colors. I lived in Arizona for 2 years and going to the mezzaluna transports me back to the amazing spiritual, relaxing feeling you feel out there and it’s so. nice so nice to experience that after coming back to this incredibly unspiritual area. I suggest some of these people travel a little and see what the rest of their country is like before hating on such an interesting décor. If you want fluorescent lights and big cold rooms go to massage envy or the fountain where half your appointment is spent trying to be talked into buying a membership.

I’ve been here on 3 different occasions and have gotten a great massage every time and always with friendly service! I would highly recommend this place!
It is a little hidden but I’ve never had a problem getting parking.
This spa always has tremendous deals. If you go you will not be disappointed! I will definitely continue to go to Mezzaluna!

I purchased a Groupon for an hour massage a couple of months ago and was completely satisfied. Just to clarify about the decoration for those who are confused: the owner is apparently from the midwest where the spas look like that, which is why the décor is western-​themed.
I had a massage with Lorna (I hear Michelle gives great massages as well) and she used hot stones and was very attentive to what I wanted. She even suggested movements/​stretches to help with a recent sports injury I had.
While I was there I also had my eyelashes dyed — lasts about 3 weeks and they use all natural vegetable dye.
When I was done they gave me a $ 10 off card for any service if I ever wanted to come back. I definitely suggest this quiet, hidden place for a massage

BEWARE. Just learned today from a very «stern» front desk person that they only have one (1) facial therapist. We bought 3 message/​facial packages and was told first that they are busy on Saturday, when asked when they can accommodate 3 people — Friday, Monday? The truth finally came out that they only have 1 facial person ALL THE TIME so it does not matter when we make the appointment, one of us will always wind up waiting an hour (or so) for the facial therapist. This explains the bad reviews about the facials from this place. The therapist RUSHES through the service because she/​he is only one person for the entire place. They do not have more than 1 facial therapist to accommodate their clients — yet they keep pumping these deals!
P. S. The so-​called DEAL from this place allowed a person to buy up to 3 offers. So they know fully well that someone can potentially walk in with 2 other people. Yet they know they CANNOT handle a group of 3 without the inconvenience of making someone from your party wait an hour or more. That should be in the FINE PRINT of the offer.

I normally go somewhere else but got a really good groupon for a facial. The things this spa doesn’t have that others do is a locker room, drinks and snacks and the girl at the desk took a personal call right in front of me and 2 others. My facial was pretty bad! I was getting so much anxiety bc the girl was rushing and going so fast that I couldn’t possibly relax. She didn’t even suggest different things for my sensitive skin so not sure what was used. The massage part was just as horrible and rushed and a lot of ear tugging??? I was left alone for 5 minutes and felt a very creepy vibe and just wanted to get out! Overall the facial was not relaxing and have me a lot of anxiety. I will never go back. Definitely spend the money and go to a better place.

Meh is my reaction, the woman cleared out like 3 of the 60 clogged pores on my face, and her upper massage/​relaxation technique was tugging on my earlobes over and OVER and over again. She seemed distracted and like she was rushing through the facial/​getting it over with. Would not pay full price if i were to go again
Since it is close to my house, I will maybe try for a massage someday, maybe they are good at that

Went here for a facial before my wedding with a living social deal. They gave me a lower leg and foot massage gratis. The massage was very good, otherwise this would be a 1 star review.
The décor is sort of Native American inspired, but with a liberal dose of country cottage thrown in – I didn’t like it, but I wasn’t there for the décor.
The massage was good, not a deep tissue massage, but I didnt want that. It was just the right amount of pressure.
While steaming for my facial the ambient music/​relaxation noises were kinda the opposite, but even that was ok.
The facial was ALMOST a 5 star. Afterwards, the majority of my pores never looked better, and my face litterally glowed for my wedding day. (The wedding was 2.5 weeks after the facial – fortunately, as it turns out).
However, I had 3 small allergy bumps on my right cheek. I didnt mention them, because they are hardly an uncommon skin condition, and I assumed the esthetician would know how to deal with them. I guess she assumed they were acne, cause she was really digging away at them with her nails – harder and harder! I eventually asked her to stop, but she continued for a bit, before I had to tell her to stop.
Within 30 minutes of me leaving, my whole right cheek was horribly swollen, red and raw. Over the course of the next few days, the swelling went down, but the skin was so stressed that it started to scale and flake, like a sunburn. I was petrified that it wouldn’t heal before the wedding, but fortunately, I had left enough time so it did.
Aside from that, the facial was great and very long-​lasting. I would have gone back, but I am afraid of the esthetician’s inexperience.
One final note: Mezzaluna is nearly impossible to find! There is no direct access from the street it is technically «on» (based on their street address), and you have to drive around on a side street and enter the back of a parking lot to get there.

I’ve had several massages here and the past few times the massage was terrible. I went on a monday night. I seem to have the same girl each time, I dont recall her name but it was terrible. I was going to tell them at Mezzaluna because I didn;t think she should be working there. I never had a chance to write a review at the time (winter 2011-​12), I don’t know if she still works there but I hope for there sake, she doesn’t. It’s a nice place but it seems like it’s not up to par lately.

Had a great massage in westwood. Always a treat to be pampered for
An hour. Feel like a new man. Highly recommended

I recently had a deep tissue massage here, which was given by Nubia. I am pretty picky about massages, and this one was pretty darn good. She listened to all my requests (for example, that I prefer a lot of pressure), made sure I was comfortable, and didn’t try to chat with me when I wasn’t in the mood. This place also has table with removable pieces for pregnant women. The place was clean (including the bathroom), I had no issue with the lighting in the room I used, and my massage was not cut short of the full hour. I would definitely recommend Mezzaluna for massage.

Went there for a massage. Waited over 30 minutes and then when I went in, the room was f r e e z i n g. The girl was also kind of annoying. She said that she would have to cut the appointment a bit short because her next was coming in — really? The music was way too loud and the girl kept texting when she was in the room with me.
I would only go back if I got a gift certificate — not really a place I would voluntarily pay to go to again.

I liked this spa. Who cares about the Native American decorations? I think they give the place a personality and actually add to the relaxing aspect of the experience. The rooms are small but cozy and the beds are really comfortable. I’ve had some great massages here. only one time did I get a bad massage. when I had a gift certificate for a free massage. I would suggest requesting Elissa. She’s a great massuse. All of my body got equal attention and I definitely felt very relaxed and at ease. They play music that is relaxing and soft, the place smelled great, is comfortable, not over priced.

I went last week for a massage and facial. The services were part of a special $ 50 (for Each) offer through Spa Finder. The thing that bothers me is that the special was through this website but they wouldn’t take the Spa Finder Gift Certificate I had. They said the GC wasn’t accepted for any specials. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
The place is ok. Nothing too fancy but it is clean and the staff seemed nice. There was a lot of talking and noise during my massage which I didn’t like.

Excellent excellent massage! included hot stones at no extra cost, a real bonus! the native american décor is not much for my taste either and i’m confused as other reviewers have said as to how it connects to massage. I prefer the tranquil meditation like settings in a massage place, like candles, etc. But still it was a fantastic massage, that catered to my needs and that’s what really counts. It’s the perfect place to visit after the long bus ride to jersey from boston. much better then massage envy down the street.

Entering Mezzaluna Day Spa I was immediately transported to another world. Unfortunately, it’s not a world I want to spend much time in.
To be fair, I visited several years ago so hopefully they’ve invested in some light bulbs by now. Mezzaluna is dark and cramped and cave-like…this is dreary and depressing to me, not relaxing. It’s painfully over-​decorated in Native American tchotkes: Navajo blankets, dream catchers and turquoise abound. Were Native Americans massage experts or something? I’m still trying to make the connection. The murky hallways are so narrow I had to hug the wall to avoid bumping into a half-​naked gentleman on his way from the shower to his designated Room of Sadness.
Anyway, I got the half-​hour facial/​half-​hour massage package. The massage was the highlight. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse, but as massages go this was a pretty good one. I’m saving most of my scorn for the «facial». I’m sort of an expert on facials… I’ve gotten one almost every month for 15 years from lots of different estheticians, so I know a good one from a bad one. This one? Bad.
After a desultory cleansing and half-​hearted extractions, the «esthetician» slapped some sort of mud mask on my face and left. For like 10 minutes. One sign of a good facial is that the facialist rarely — if ever — leaves the room. After they apply the mask, 99.9% of the time they will then give you a 10 – 15 minute shoulder and arm massage. You should never be left alone for more than a minute or two. I lay in the dark, desolate room, alone and seething. The creepy dream catcher twisting in the corner didn’t help my mood. Miss «I-​Am-​Too-​Good-​To-​Be-​Doing-​This» eventually returned, removed the mask and exited without a word.
I couldn’t wait to get out of there… happily walking outside into sunshine and… LIGHT.

this is a very quaint, southwestern feel spa. dana is excellent. very quiet. the offer good montly specials on their website and packages.
