Editorial Review for DownTime Spa – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Since Bedford Avenue became home to two pricey optical shops, it was only a matter of time that a high-end spa and salon would move in nearby. Williamsburg residents accustomed to the occasional Victorian lounge couch or decorative sconce may find DownTime's ornate furnishings ironic, whether or not that's the intention. The spa's cool airiness and backyard garden lend it an assuredly pampered feel.
The Services
In addition to cuts, color and mani-pedis, the space offers a full range of spa services, including holistic and hot-stone massages, reflexology, acupressure facials, sea scrubs and body wraps; it's even equipped with a Vichy shower to rinse you off. The engaged massage therapist gives a deep, relaxing massage, encouraging you to let her know your pressure preference. DownTime's scalp massage is a unique, stimulating treatment--though its quick upward strokes don't feel quite as luxuriant as a salon shampoo.

I recently went to DownTime for their signature "Day at DownTime" service. I had 3 hours of some of the most enjoyable treatments I've ever had, not to mention lots of wonderful conversation with a very personable yet professional staff. I saw the negative comment on here and was very surprised, but then noticed it is 2 years old! Give this place a try, it's definitely worth it!!!
