This place rocks! Every single massage ive had is better than the last. Luciana is worth her weight & mine in gold!!! 😆🎉
I see Kasey for facials pretty regularly.. she is AMAZING and I cannot recommend her enough! I trust her completely and always get whatever treatment she recommends. We are working on lightening some acne scarring and smoothing my skin, and she has made the biggest/best difference! Oh and as a bonus, she gives the BEST facial massages!!!!
Brought my mom here for a birthday surprise for her and I was so happy with everything. The staff from the receptionist to the massage therapist are so friendly and accommodating. This was her first massage since a spinal surgery in January and I was a bit worried- but she was in perfect hands (literally!) She raved about her massage therapist Marina and my therapist McKenzie was amazing as well. I frequently visit the Albany location for treatments but we will absolutely be back to Saratoga as well.
Excellent ! I love the atmosphere! I felt like I was at a tropical far away land! I was greeted with a smile from Shae and the therapist was thorough, professional and kind! Excellent massage! I hope to return often!
Had a couples massage and both Jennifer and Marina were excellent!
Really great experience as always! Every time I fly home to visit family I love trying to squeeze a trip in to complexions for a massage. The space is very clean and aesthetic. This time I had a great 60 minute massage with David that was super relaxing. Make sure leave time before or after for the relaxation room and sauna!
Book with Kasey for an exceptional facial, I fall asleep every time and feel like my face gets a great detox from her massage techniques. Thank you!
Anna Mae thank you. Best massage I ever had. Thank you thank you thank you.
Beautiful spa!! Staff was warm & welcoming!!
A hidden gem! Very sanitary & clean. Women’s restroom and showers were sparkling clean. The lockers were very safe to leave all of our purses. The lounge areas we waited for our services was fully stocked with teas water, fruit. Very comfortable couches & lounges! Anything you need it.
Kacey was fabulous. Her massage was wonderful. The facial was like no other and I did add the derma blading . My skin soaked up the top of the line products! Definitely going back! Perfect for a ladies bachelorette, shower or day out! Highly recommend! My friend had Hanna who was also fabulous!!
Excellent therapeutic experience. Great therapeutic massage from Laura. Worth the visit?
Just had an amazing relaxation massage. Can’t wait to schedule another one!! Feel sooooo relaxed!!!!
Had an amazing experience this morning at the Saratoga location. Barb the spa attendant is so lovely and took good care of me. I had a therapeutic massage with Susan and it was amazing; if you’re looking for a results driven massage, Susan and this massage is it. I will be back for another therapeutic massage with Susan in March!
I Had a wonderful day of relaxation at Complexions. My friend and I both had massages and utilized the other spa amenities. Laura, who I worked with, was amazing! I booked the therapeutic massage because I wanted more deep tissue work and I was very pleased. Her energy is incredible as well. We enjoyed the sauna and the relaxation room as well, 100% recommend if you are looking for some decompression from reality.
What an amazing experience! I had recently scheduled an appointment at the Saratoga location and when I arrived they did not have my appointment on their list. There may have been an error in their scheduling but within minutes the receptionist was apologetic and offered a solution for the miscommunication right away. She was able to bump my appointment to an hour later and offered some additional complimentary services to make up for it. It truly is a place to go to and relax! Lynne was wonderful and her services were incredible! I really appreciate that I wasn’t rushed out after my services were complete either. I was able to use the sauna or the relaxation room again after my massage. That goes a long way with customers so it certainly didn’t go unnoticed. I will definitely be booking another appointment soon! If I could give 6 stars, I would.
On 18th of September I had a haircut at the Saratoga location with Jan. I specifically requested an appointment with experienced master in order to avoid common mistakes of cutting curly and porous hair.

I don't know what exactly led to such a poor outcome - the fact that English is my second language or type of style that hairdresser uses commonly, but my first experience in Complexions ended with me crying my eyes out this morning.

When I arrived at the Salon, I specifically asked Jan to "Cut off bad ends, save hair length" and repeated myself twice.

In the beginning, my hair was washed. This process was phenomenal - head massage with warm towel overwhelmed me so much, I thought I was in space. I thought to myself "That's it, I'll be a client for life". Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Yes, my bad ends were indeed cut, but with that, I have also lost length at the very top of my head, which ended up "Cascading" my hair, which I find extremely bad looking. At first, it wasn't noticeable, but after washing my hair, I saw the final result,

My bangs, which were previously up until my collarbone, now end at my cheekbones, but only when straightened. When curled, they end around my nose. On top and on the sides of the head my hair makes this badly looking "hat". It looks very bad with curly hair. I cant even change my hairstyle to shoulder-length "classic bob" to get rid of cascading hair, because my hair on the front is so short.

In order to fix this cascading hair I will have to grow out my hair for about 2 years - they grow very slowly.

I understand, that hairdresser tried her best to cut off all bad ends, but I wasn't warned about short cascading hair, especially in the front. If I was warned, I would've gladly lived with excessive bad ends in order to save length.

UPDATE: Changing rating from 3 stars to 5

Ok, after a year, I’m ready to contradict my previous review of Complexions. My unfortunate experience from last year was the hair master’s mistake, not the spa salon fault. By the way, that hair master doesn’t work there anymore. After a few days of my review past, the administrator of the Complexions called me with apologies and offered me a hair treatment with other master as a compliment for my experience - I accepted it. Since that moment my hair found their Master – her name is Morgan and she is awesome<3 She took care of me with all what she could give. Yes, it took a while to grown all my hair in the same level as I had before (still working on it), but as some people say, there was some luck in this misfortune. Right now, I know that I’m with the Complexions for a long time. I also do my pedicure with Melissa and she is the best! Also, ladies in the lobby are very pleasant and sweet. So, I would highly recommend the Complexions to anybody and it is the reason for the update to my review.
I've been seeing Anthony for massages for quite a while. He's amazing! I highly recommend him if you're full of knots like me. He finds them ALL and you leave feeling so much better. I'm really grateful I found him!
Lovely facility. Staff very nice an Laura gave a fantastic massage
Amazing massage very nice job
Complexions is hands down the BEST spa in the Capital District! The amenities take your spa experience to a new level. Shannon is the best esthetician and their pregnancy massages are a must for every trimester!
Lucian na is the absolute best at deep tissue massages! She listens and cares and really focuses on the areas you need most!
I had a massage with Susan today who was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable and answered the questions I had so thoroughly. She was also so kind and performed pure magic on my sore body. Highly recommend her!
Everyone was very nice made me feel very comfortable..my massage therapist Susan was absolutely amazing she has magical hands!! well definitely be going back!
Today I revieveved the best massage and facial I have ever had ! As a health care worker it’s very hard for me to relax even during massages ... well today that all changed. Highly Recommend Rae and Angel , I will definately be back for future massages and facials 5 stars across the board ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The service was amazing. I went for the first time and got a mani/pedi, 1 hr massage, and facial. Everyone was very professional and the service was stunning. A true day of being pampered.
Thank you to Ashley R for starting my Birthday off COMPLETELY RELAXED! My first time ever having a massage, was wonderful. I feel amazing, was 100% worth it. The Collagen face mask was really nice too, my skins glowing. Highly recommend!
Went back to Complexions today after some time away. Such a relaxing day that I love treating myself to from time to time. Always have a great experience with Angel (esthetician) and Susan (massage therapist), but today I found a new favorite in Kevin. He gave me an amazing therapeutic massage that reminded me of how great I felt after my first ever massage. He was very skilled and talented at his craft, and kind too. The only stress I anticipate is in choosing which great therapist to book for which amazing service next time around.
I really enjoyed my visit at Complexions spa! My facial was lovely and I can't wait to go back and get a massage soon! The spa was very clean and everyone was so nice! So relaxing!
My wife convinced me that I needed a massage so I decided to try Complexions Spa. Am I glad I did! I had a great massage from Susan and went back for a facial from Kate! I highly recommend Complexions Spa. Friendly staff and beautiful spa!

Ancient Sands Therapeutic Massage (Albany location only)

After you are positioned comfortably into the sand, the warmth will begin to permeate the skin for a deep and relaxing experience that removes toxins, alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, improves stiff joints and pain, and promotes relaxing comfort for the body and soul. The Alpha-Quartz Sand Table can be added to any body service in place of the standard massage table for an additional $45.
