Elite Event – Pamper Party @LifeSpa + Salon by Michael Boychuck

After being M.I.A. for so long and being wait listed to so many events, I was finally able to attend an elite event, yay!
Misti does it again! Another amazing event! There were several stations setup one for hair, makeup, nails, even a massage station! The staff was über nice and friendly.
Unfortunately I spent most of my time outside on phone calls which made me lose my place in line for the nail station, or any station for that matter so my +1 Sarah I. and myself missed out but it’s ok, my fellow Unilocalers always come through with witty and humorous convos ;)
See y’all at the next one!

This was only my second Unilocal Elite Event, and it was a hit. How you ask? Although, I am far from a dude that gets pampered, I thought it involved a lot more mingling. I finally was able to put a face with the names I frequently see. Coolaid!
Although, food wasn’t the focus of this event, the thin crust cheese pizza was just what the doctor ordered. I just had my 4 wisdom teeth pulled and could only manage a few slices of that with a few glasses of red wine.
I was surprised how many people this little spa could muster. I felt like was on the verge of breaking something if I made the wrong move, especially since I was gung ho on the spavenger hunt that lead to me getting a gift off a Lifetime (no pun intended)…nail polish! Lol, no matters, I was able to kop a small bottle of a shade to match our upcoming wedding colors. In addition, I got to meet some really interesting peeps indeed.
I, along with the entire group, signed up for the massage to no avail. No matters, it was a cool experience and interesting to see who is sociable, who is reserved, who is outrageous, and who is… ecentric…lol.
The entire gym in general was all the rave. I was always on the outside looking in and wondered what this place was about. I am sure I am not the only one buzzing about the place. It is very similar to a casino resort spa, only caters to locals primarily. Rich peeps, if you really wanna break it down. There is absolutely no way I am spending $ 200+ a month on a gym membership unless I am being trained by Freddie Roach himself. Still, just taking a glance at the mens room alone, only opens curiosity of what else is offered in the three stories of services.
Eventually, curiosity over took my better judgment. Mind you, it had nothing to do with the red red wine. So, me and a fellow Unilocaler decided to explore the place further. After a brief interrogation of unknowing strangers (they totally knew… the name tags, duh), we discovered that there was a basketball court on the 3^rd floor. We couldn’t help ourselves. So we snuck upstairs to see what that was about. Low and behold the entire 3^rd floor consisted of a over 9+ full courts from what I could tell. Some of the courts were sealed off for private play. We moved from purgatory to heaven, temporarily.
There were a few kids that allowed us to play in and we did so till our significant others found us up there. The staff noticed that we were balling in casual attire and wine and were still very accommodating. You would think that they would be screaming liability from the outset, but not the case at all. This was the highlight of the night. Shhhhh, don’t tell Misty. The next time I will try to refrain from such temptations… don’t want to invite unwelcome incidents in the future. But, one thing lead to another and no harm no foul. In fact, I am seriously thinking of dropping by again to ask more about their package deals.
Still, I am always reluctant to give an automatic 5 star review for anything. Had I actually got a service, that may have been factored in. But for now, I have to say I would have given the shindig 4 stars. I would be giving a 5 for the added basketball fun, but that would be outside the realm of reviewable items since it was a taboo part of the event that was pretty much off limits.
It won’t happen again, or will it???

I love Elite events and feel blessed every time I get to attend one!
Best parts of the evening was the 5 minute massage by Gregory (awesome, but over too quick!) and the wine. The facial was wiping my make up off and putting lotion on. I never did get my manicure; too many names and too few manicurists. But I did have a lovely time chatting it up and drinking wine.
Misti and the gang did a fantastic job with the games, food, and raffle. I was bummed I didn’t win one of those awesome-​looking bags!
I took two chapsticks and two nail files. One for my purse and one for my office. I am Unilocaling it all over the place!
They are having $ 50 specials for spa week… which do I want to partake in?

There are two things I love in life (okay, maybe there are more…) food and getting pampered. I was certainly in luck at this Unilocal Elite event! There were so many cool stations available to us from manicures to facials, a mini massage, hair consult and mini makeover. I was able to experience the mini massage (which was awesome), a hair consult (Christopher is so nice and had THE BEST hair tips ever) and a makeover on my eyes (I did not know that you could put gel liner on your water line). So much fun!
The mini wraps and sandwiches definitely hit the spot. By chance, I snagged a turkey, cranberry and walnut wrap… wow! I also participated in the clue game to win a cute new coral polish to add to my massive nail polish collection.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! It was definitely the best mid-​work week treat ever!

Yay! This was my first Elite Event as an ELITE! WOO WOO!
This was at the Life Time Fitness Spa — we have Life Time back home but I’ve never been to the spa before so this was COOL.
Getting to the event, you checked in and then got a raffle ticket… I didnt’ win but the goodie bag looked awesome. DANGIT!
There were different mini spa services you could sign up for… I got in FIRST for a Mini Mani! SCORE! I forgot to get the tech’s name but she was super nice and friendly and I loved my mini mani!
I signed up to get my make-​up done and a hair consult as well for… hair extensions! Mercedes was very helpful and informative as far as extensions go SOOO I really wanna save my pennies to get this done! Her hair looked FAB too!
I got my make up done so that was really fun and she also said they offer make-​up lessons there so maybe I could look into doing that as well!
There was endless wine and snacks like little sammies, salad and pizza. Nom nom! This was a fun little event and I had an opportunity to meet more Unilocalers — people whose reviews I’ve actually read and then I’m like HEEEEY I think I know you!
We played a little game… Would you want to trade places with Anthony Bourdain?! UM HELL YES! It was a good icebreaker and was an opportunity to make small talk with other peeps!
This was also a smaller event from the first one I ever went to so it was really nice being able to talk with Misit and Bobby and other Unilocalers. YAY!

Who doesn’t like to be pampered?
I drank wine, got a hair consultation, had some more wine, then I actually whined when I saw all the other Unilocal gals getting fab new hair-do’s. «why didn’t my stylist do this for me?» I wept. My wonderful husband gave me his 3^rd spa ticket, so I could get my hair did. It ended up a little too poofy for my liking, but the courteous stylist introduced me to an awesome new hair product that I had to buy on the spot. Then I had some make up applied and my lips all glossified. As I waited patiently for my nail time to come, I had more wine, chatted with my fabulous fellow Unilocalers, and noshed on some of the café’s yummy pizza. Doug even finished with his photo scavenger hunt and won me some shimmery nail polish!
The end of the night couldn’t be beat, I won a gift bag of wonderful products and was the last girl to get her nails polished. She was so quick but thorough, I was astonished. My nails still look good. They must have quality products here for my nails not to have chipped, because I beat the hell out of them!
I’m not sure if I’ll make it back to LifeSpa and Salon, the price of services were a bit high for my pocket book, even if you do get a free spa day on the day of your appointment. But I fell in love with some of their products, so I’ll most likely be going back for those.
Thank you to the spa for taking such good care of so many of us in so little time. And always a big Thanks to Misti, Molly, and the whole Unilocal crew for treating us like Kings and Queens.

Elites got their hair done, nails done, errything did at the Pamper Party the other night. We were treated to massages, hair styling, facials, makeup sessions, and nail polishing. Oh, and of course, what Unilocal event isn’t complete without food? Sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, spinach salad, and wine were all served for our munching pleasure.
The lines for the nail polishing and massage stations were long, so I opted to have my makeup and hair done. Mercedes (apologies if my wonderful hair stylist’s name is incorrect), did marvelous job with giving some life to my hair by creating luscious, sexy curls. Afterwards, I plotted my butt in a makeup chair where a makeup artist blushed up my cheeks and painted some pinkness onto my lips, giving me a fresh spring look. I couldn’t help but pull a, «Mirror mirror.» whenever I walked by one. By no means am I a vain girl, but it’s such a rarity for me to get all dolled up that I just had to stare in the mirror. Plus, I was a mess when I arrived. The staff at LifeSpa do some good work.
Unilocalers also had the chance to partake in a photo scavenger hunt and a raffle. I was lucky enough to win a raffle prize, which was a bag filled with goodies to continue the pampering at home.
Thanks to Misti and LifeSpa for pulling off such a fun and fantastic event!

My wife and I enjoyed an incredible time at the Pamper Party! We have 2 little ones at home so we don’t often get time away and this was a great way to do it.
I managed to squeeze in a nice chair massage and a facial but really this evening was about trying to show my wife some love. She got a table massage, her nails done and a facial!
We came away super happy, grateful and appreciative for being included in this great Unilocal event. We also plan on returning to LifeSpa in the future to get the full treatment when time permits.
Thank you again to Misti and LifeSpa for a memorable and fun evening!

As an Elite Event virgin, I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the door of LifeSpa. My mind was blown.
To be honest, I’m not really a very girly girl. I don’t do the normal girly stuff — manicure, facials, etc. But when I saw this particular event, I knew my friend (the lovely April S.) would love it! I RSVP’d in hopes that we could go & enjoy being girls for an evening. I was so surprised when we got in!
When we arrived, I wasn’t terribly interested in the services — I just wanted to hang out while April got pampered. To my surprise, I had so much fun having my hair styled, getting a facial & getting a mini manicure! Unilocal has opened my eyes to the joys of being a lady. I blasted Shania Twain the whole way home. Indeed, I felt like a woman.
We had so much fun that we are waiting with baited breath until the next RSVP opportunity comes though! Thanks to Misti, LifeSpa & Unilocal for such a wonderful evening!

My first elite outing was a hit! Free wine, manicures, massages, mini facials, and hair advice/styling…gotta love it!
I started out by getting some advice from a nice gentleman in the salon area. He asked me questions about how I like to style my hair and talked to me about some products. By the end I had cute, flowing curls for a casual night out!
I had the pleasure of hanging with my pal, Julie K. and her beautiful +1 Vicki. We mingled a bit while my +1 (my younger sister) proceeded to drink four glasses of wine. But who’s counting? She made up of for my lack of alcohol consumption…
Next, we had the pleasure of getting complimentary massages. I had my eye on Gregory. He is a strong, young man and I knew he could do a number on my back! He did an amazing job in my upper back/​neck area. Such a great job, in fact, that I made an appointment to see him in two weeks!
I’m so happy that I was able to attend this wonderful event! Thanks to Misti for being such a pro and thanks to Unilocal for the opportunity!

I was glad to be back in the Elite scene after being out so long. I missed the gang.
The event was very nice. Lots of people, more health-​centric food choices, and plenty of wine. I chuckled a little seeing some of the female Unilocalers getting their hair done while a wine glass was in their hand. THAT’S service!
The spa selections were nice, but catered a little more in favor of the girls this time, I think. The missus had a good time, however. As for me personally, I’m not interested in getting my makeup or nails done, but I would have done a facial had there been time.
As it stood, I barely got the massage I signed up for. That was easily the most popular attraction, the small venue was incredibly crowded, and I was right at the cut-​off point. But the super-​friendly staff wanted to make sure I didn’t walk away empty-​handed, so they took me in as the LAST «last one».
All in all, it was a nice evening with a lot of mingling, catching up with old friends, and wine. Thanks again to Misti for putting together such a unique and fun event!

Another excellent event from the team!
With a raffle, a spa-​venger hunt (which was hard btw :-)) and the 3 coupons to try out some of the many services, it definitely kept us busy.
The spa was amazing, the staff was so knowledgeable and friendly. Being a little late to arrive, I chose to get something done to my hair (because everyone looked so gorgeous afterwards). Christopher helped me with working with my curls a little better. He recommended 2 cool products, one of which I had told him I had been looking for but had not come across it in the Bumble and Bumble line — Surf! Back to Beach hair (hehe) Scored a discount for Spa week, a discount for more hair services and picked up a menu from the medispa. Can’t say enough about it!
It reminded me of how much I have been out of the loop since I tore my ACL in January :-(I have missed so many opportunities to get caught up on the new faces and making new friends. I hope to be able to get to more of the events to get more of a chance to meet folks.

Yet another *awesome* event for the Vegas crowd! I feel so proud to be a part of this local crew.
At first «spa day» sounded like a small girls night out … but turned out to be so much more. If you take a look at the photos, you’ll see the energy and the FOOD! sandwiches, wine (red/​white), water (we live in the desert!!), and other treats.
There were raffle tickets at the door to win swag bags which shout out to April for scoring one– you go girl!
I brought my lovely +1 date for the evening Vicki and she looked radiant in her dress. we were supposed to be «two girls in dresses» but I left my heels at home meh.
This was also her first elite event and you can bet your booty that your +1 had a good time when she’s still talking about how great the massage was!
For my «mini services» I first stopped at Christopher’s salon chair for a redo on my hair. he was great with saying my layers and color is fierce, just needed some product to pump it up. he also had awesome blue highlights! so jelly.
I wanted to get my nails did but the line was crazy. And I had a massage which worked out the stress of the day!
The gym that’s attached to this spa looks amazing with a pool outside worthy of a mini waterpark oasis! I may have to look up memberships while lookin’ up Chris for
a hair style in the future.
All of the staff were very attentive and approachable. I need to make some fabulous shout outs to my favorite local Unilocalers and apologies up front if I miss your name or didn’t see you!
Met my twin by name: Julie K (hey girl!)
Her awesome friend: Jenny D! :)
My beautiful homegirl: Ife!
The fabulicious April!
My best pal: Alida (and her sis Ari!)
High five to the sexy boys: Tien & Anthony
Had the pleasure of meeting Loren! :)
Also had a few moments to chat with Jessie B! looking fab
And what would an elite or CMYE event be without our ultra fab team leaders Misti & Molly! thanks for always planning super fun events. as you’ve seen now… I never fail in my attempts to recruit new faces!
«How did the world survive pre-​Yelp?»

Unilocal has yet to disappoint. Yet again another rocking good time that blew my mind. Well not really. More like blew my hair.
It was awesome having tons of celebrity type exclusives for us. The white and red wine was delicious. Considering I don’t drink, I lived it up and had a glass or two. Healthy options were offered, who doesn’t love a good salad?! The ciabatta sandwiches were off the chain good, and the wraps were almost gone as I got to the table. Later on their were delicious tiny pizza bites. BBQ chicken?! Three cheesewhte pizza?! Yes please!
Even better were the services offered to all of us. Making a decision was difficult but fun! Felt like a kid in a candy store. Facials?! Massages, serious?! Nails?! Makeup?! Hair up and down dos? How the heck do I decide!!!
Was second on the list for my hair, and I was stunned at the beautiful fish tail the girl did on me. Maybe I should try more interesting hair styles like that. Her consultation on my hair was super cool too!
Sadly, the place was so busy and packed I only got one thing done but hey, can’t complain! The place was full of awesome elites/​guests and an overall super time :)
It felt like a huge party and I never wanted e event to end!

Do you get pampered being a Unilocal Elite? In so many ways, yes!
LifeSpa is an immaculate salon which I’m glad I got introduced to. I was surprised at the turnout, especially the boys who came for the pampering, or just to socialize!
At this event, there were stations everywhere with sign-​up sheets. You could get your nails polished, hair styled, facials, make-​up sessions, or relax to a massage. My massage was done by Gregory and he did an awesome job. My hair was curled by Susie and I LOVED IT! In between, as all Unilocal events go, I got to meet new faces and catch up with the familiar ones. Red and white wine and mini sandwiches were laid out for us. As always, Misti did an amazing job organizing these events for the Elites. Thank you!
If I’m in the Summerlin area and in need of any spa services, LifeSpa will definitely be on my mind. A great bonus we learned is you can use the Lifetime Fitness facilities on the day of your spa appointment day. Very cool :)

Who ever says no to a little pampering? Not me!
We arrived promptly for this Elite event at LifeSpa + Salon by Michael Boychuck to get checked in. I had no shame in checking out each station and getting my name on there asap. As a result, we were able to score the first and second spot at the massage stations. I had Karla working me hard on that massage table. It’s amazing what a little five minute massage can do! The Husband got a chair massage from Gregory and was loving it! What a fabulous way to start the evening!
I then got started on our ice breaker games and I was totally doing it all wrong in the beginning! But it’s okay because I soon figured it out and ended up meeting some new and old Unilocalers as a result! Yay! (Julie K. and Chris A.) And even sweeter, I met some fresh face Elites — popping their Elite event cherries! (Amanda M. and April S. straight out of Louisville, KY!)
I even grabbed a bite to eat amongst the salad, pizza, and pinwheel things and had some nice wine to drink.
I was lucky to squeeze in a facial, but never got my manicure done. I almost wished I got my hair did after seeing Suzy get all dolled up with curls. Oh well.
Even though this was a 2 hour event, I felt like I talked to more Unilocalers than I have at other events! Maybe because it was such a social/​mingling one that you had no choice to chit chat with anyone and everyone around you.
I had more fun than I expected and was actually disappointed it came to an end. Which only means one thing — great job Misti and Molly! Fabulous time as always!
Sidenote: I heard that if you booked a treatment, we could get 25% off! And we even got flyers advertising Spa Week in April… treatments for $ 50! Nice!

Misti Mama doin’ it and doin’ it and doin’ it well! Props to the Queen Bee for another solid Unilocal Elite event! LV represent!
I admit, I’m not much of a spa kind of guy. I’m not used to being pampered or primmed or anything like that. I’m more the type that would rather be sweatin’ it out by the weight rack blasting Journey tunes through my MP3 player while flexing in front of a mirror with my sleeveless t-​shirt. Then enjoying a smoothie of whey protein, creatine, and essential amino acids immediately afterwards. Yeah, that’s my kind of pamering.
So when I RSVP’d for this event, I was kind of thinking Beyonce a la ‘Single Ladies’ type of night. Should I come in my leotard and heels ready to pounce? Not that I have a leotard, or heels… and not that I’ve ever worn a leotard, or heels. Ugh… bad visual involving the use of baby powder in unsuspect places to avoid random chaffing.
I of course thought the ladies would love this Unilocal Elite event so I brought the wifey along. Who wouldn’t right? Cheap date! And I was not wrong! Ladies outnumbered men by a landslide at this event. All you single guys last night had the ratios on your side. Hope you had your mack on!
We got there right on time but mingled a bit too much to immediately notice the sign up sheets for the spa services. I wanted to get my nails ‘did’ but the sheet was already two pages deep! Figured they would have run out of hot purple nail polish by the time they got to me. I thought about getting my hair styled but the wifey said there wasn’t much they could do. ‘Almost’ bald means that I still have some hair! At least the wifey was able to get in on a nice facial treatment, and I managed to sit next to her in the expensive massage chair and have my way with it for 15 minutes. That massage chair was heavenly. And it refused to take my tip! I think it whispered to me, «No sir, keep your money. Serving you has been my greatest reward.» We need more massage chairs with that kind of attitude. Employee of the Month status baby!
Service by the staff at the LifeSpa + Salon was great and very attentive. Folks were knowledgeable about everything, from easy everyday styling tips, what types of makeup go good with your skin tone, steps for daily exfoliating and suggested brands for facial products, to what pressures of massage will relieve tension in the neck and lower back. It was like a mini spa boot camp!
The light bites provided by the Life Café at Lifetime Fitness were tasty. Spinach salad, various multi-​grain wraps, gourmet ciabatta sandwiches, and thin crust pizzas all fit the bill nicely to promote health and well-​being. I’m sure that one glass (or three) of red wine that I had also extended my life as well!
This was a super event because I finally got to meet in person the legendary Golden Elite Unilocaler Teri C. She was my 1^st ever friend on Unilocal and helped pave the way for my long-​winded (but usually informative) reviews. Without her initial boost I might have never been the Fabulous-​Awesome-​Supercalifragilistic Unilocaler that I am today! Even got a pic! Unilocal celebrity at its finest.
The wifey had a super time because she actually won a sweet swag bag at the raffle! She was stoked! She was pampered then showered with some spa love. Her night was made by leaving the Elite event a total winner.
Overall a lovely event (partially because I decided NOT to show up as one of Beyonce’s backup dancers) with a whole bunch of things to participate in and learn about. Much thanks to the staff at Michael Boychuck’s LifeSpa + Salon for having us Unilocalers over to enjoy some of the finer things in life! Much thanks again to Misti Mama as well for hosting another steller Elite shindig!
P. S. — Some of you single ladies last night, yeah I had my eye on a few of you… you know who you are. Were you chickas getting all dolled up for a date or something afterward? Or getting ready for Industry Night at some club on the Strip? Because I swear I saw you hit EVERY spa station last night! Ha Ha! A massage, facial, nails, hair, and makeup? Hope you tipped well!
P. S.S. — All the single ladies, all the single ladies… now put your hands up!

Thank you Mandi L. for not being able to make it! TEHEHEH I was happily Jenny D.‘s second place replacement +1 date for her first Elite event as an Elite ;ppp
Going into the event, I will admit, I wasn’t expecting much. I really just wanted a manicure but I was very much impressed with everything that was going on. hair styling, massage stations, facials, make-​up make overs & mini manis. We were given three service tickets and a raffle ticket up front by the beautiful Molly T.
I signed up for a mini mani, massage & hair style… but never got called to do any of them ;[[[ but it’s ok I had so much fun watching Jenny get her stuff done and mingling with other Unilocalers.
Oh man. they even provided food & red & white wine. I was on day 8 of a detox so the food looked so yummy ;[[[ I did cheat and have some wine which I later regretted because I got sick but that’s my fault for drinking it in the first place LOL I was very impressed by how the wine was just ever flowing and endless. and they were served in actual wine glasses and not plastic… nice~!!!
I did some exploring in the facilities while looking for the restroom and man that place is so nice. Café, gym, pool, salon, spa… I WANT TO JOIN. I hear they may do a 7 day free gym pass? Yes, please ;]]]
The little photo scavenger hunt was very successful, IMO, for breaking the ice with new faces. Some people were friendlier & chattier than others but oh well. I really appreciate those who came up to me and introduced themselves and actually tried to have a conversation with me. (SHOUT OUT TO: Ife, Julie, Jesse, Anthony, Jieun, Bobby, Kimmy & sorry if I forgot anyone~!!!) I as well, tried to go out of my way to meet some new faces ;]]] and for everyone I didn’t get to meet. there is always the next event.
So much fun! Thank you to Misti (sorry we kept you past 9 ;X,) Molly, the lovely photographer (sorry, I forgot her name ;X) & all of the wonderful staff at Life Spa + Salon. Stay beautiful y’alls~!!!

I had such a blast at this event!!!
For some odd reason, I thought this would be some sort of relaxing, spa getaway where I would don a white terry cloth robe and be able to listen to Buddhist monks chant, while inhaling the incense as I enjoyed my facial or had my nails done…
HA! Not quite. It was rip-​roaring, full on social event! Everyone had a glass of wine or a sandwich and socialized while they waited for their turn to get a service done.
There were four hair stations, two nail, two massage, a makeup spot, and a facial area. There would be a sheet of paper next to each station where you would put your name down and wait to get called over.
There were a bunch more people there than I thought there would be, but it was almost nice having a large span of time while waiting for your turn because it gave everyone a chance to walk around and either chit chat with other Unilocalers you know, or even meet some new ones.
For example, I got to meet JESSIE B. tonight!!! YES! I was super stoked. I have been waiting to meet that sexy thang for a while now :)
I didn’t have a +1 with me, so it was nice to have her hang around and keep me company most of the night. Thanks girl!
The hair station was the first one I got a turn at, and let me tell you… Susie Cristo did an amazing job giving me a funky half-​updo kind of look. Loved it!
Then I got a WONDERFUL massage from Gregory Williams. He was so great, I booked an actual appointment with him to come for a full hour. I. Can’t. Wait.
The last place I jumped in on was the nail station, I didn’t catch the woman’s name, but she was a blond and was very sweet. She was kinda rushed because the event was almost over at that point, but she still did a super good job!
Thanks to Misti and Molly, and the people at Life Spa for making this a really cool event!

A wonderful elite Unilocal event at Life Spa. We were provided sandwiches, pizza, salad, water, and wine to snack on. The mini spa stations included: make-​up, hair, massage, nail, and facial.
There was plenty of time to snack and mingle while waiting for your turn to be pampered. The staff at Life Spa were very enthusiastic and friendly. I bet everyone went home looking and feeling FABULOUS!
