Par Excellence Day Spa in Havre De Grace, MD

My husband introduced the spa to me as a surprise birthday gift last year. I had multiple services (e.g. manicure, pedicure, massage) done by two different people. The level of service was great! All of the staff is extremely professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about their products. I have since returned to the salon for multiple massages, facials, and teeth whitening. They continue to meet my expectations. As a result, I have recommended them to friends and family alike. If there was one suggestion I could make, it would be to extend business hours/days.

Ive been coming to Par Excellence since moving to Havre de Grace 15 years ago. Always courteous and friendly with great personal services. I've had manicures, pedicures, facials and massages and have been happy with them all. I recommend this place to friends when they are looking for spa services.

My wife and I didn't spend long here, and we certainly won't go back. We chose this salon specifically for its high reviews and spa-type setting, and we were looking for a place as local as possible so we could make a habit of regularly visiting for manis, pedis, and facial treatments. When we first visited the address on a Wednesday at 11am, they were closed. We were disappointed with the very-limited hours of operation (the schedule posted on Yelp is inaccurate), but coordinated to come back as soon as we could anyway, trying to be optimistic. Today we visited at noon, two hours before closing (which is 2pm on a Saturday). Nobody was present in what we assume was the reception area and nobody greeted us, even when the door chimed, so we walked into the back (the business is out of an older house,) and found two ladies with clients receiving manicures, who immediately greeted us with cold, annoyed stares, not saying a word. My wife immediately apologized, feeling like she wasn't welcome because of the awkward and intense glare from the employees. She explained that this was our first visit, and asked if clients were seen by appointment only. One lady hesitantly responded in a deadpan voice that they take walk-ins sometimes. When my wife asked if she could get a manicure, the ladies looked at each other simultaneously and said, "No, don't have time," then continued their work, pretending not to notice us still standing there like idiots. Nobody offered to schedule a future appointment or even offered an apology. It's hard to put into words the overwhelming feeling of snotty judgement we both received. We walked ourselves out of the dark residence, feeling icky. My wife and I enjoy bicycling around our little town, especially lately in the springtime, and were dressed in active attire when we visited. Based on the "greeting" we'd received, we questioned whether we were being judged based on our appearance. We were not treated with dignity and respect whatever the case was, and we feel far too unwelcome to return.

I have been going here for 15+ years and had almost every service they have to offer. I have never had a problem scheduling, paying or having any procedure done. I cannot say enough good things about here. The facials are amazing and my skin has never felt better or smoother. The massages are awesome and I cannot wait until birthday time to get them. I highly recommend Par Excellence!

I went there today for the first time and I was very pleased with the service. I got a mani pedi by Heather and she did an excellent job. The place is lovely and my fingers and toes look great! I definitely recommend this place.
