Review from Mandi E.
Walnut Creek, CA
2/15/2012 1 Check-in Here
I was in complete panic yesterday when the dress I bought on Friday didn't fit.... I bought the dress specifically to wear on Valentines day and I was dead set on accomplishing that.
I didn't know what to do because I'd never tried a body wrap before and I was skeptical about it working. I was desperate so I gave it a shot. I meet with Theresa at 11am yesterday and by 7pm I fit into the dress and it was even a little loose!
The process is pretty cool too. You get measured, wrapped, basted, and then get to watch a movie while doing a little cardio. Then you get basted and checked on - very attentive to your needs. Time just flies so it's not bad at all. I can imagine how slow the time would pass if you just had to lay there....
I lost a totally of 14 inches all over and it was just what I need to fit it the dress comfortably. My boyfriend was none the wiser but definitely enjoyed the dress I wore :) So if you need a little help with extra inches or just want to detox then this is the place I would recommend.
Thanks Theresa! -

Everything about this place is exactly what I needed. Theresa answered the first time I called, we set an appointment, and even though I was early, she was ready for me (bonus!). The intake was thorough, and she explained to me exactly what I could expect. The wrap itself was done quickly, and even the selection of movies included old favorites as well as stuff I have never seen. Afterwards, I had lost a total of almost four inches, but more importantly I felt great. Theresa was super nice, and offered me a great package deal. I liked it so much, i signed my daughter up to see her.
I have since moved out of the area, but I still have family near there, and whenever I am down visiting them, I make a point of seeing Theresa at California Slim Wraps.Comment from Theresa S. of California Slim Wraps 9/8/2011

Theresa is so nice!! The wrap was my first... and it was awesome! Thank you Groupon for helping me to take the first step to wrapping... I bought a three package visit & I think it will be well-worth it.
I love that you can watch a movie to spend the time while being wrapped. I feel so good... I think Theresa said I lost 10in off my body today!Listed in: Best Body Wraps/Detox

Yesterday, I had my first wrap with Theresa. What an awesome experience! I went in with hopes of re-energizing and detoxing after a few too many nights out on the town. The wrap WORKED.
After the wrap, my jeans fit better, my skin felt supple and soft, and I walked out feeling as mellow as if I'd had a massage. This morning, I awoke feeling super light and energetic.
I won't explain the technique, because California Slim Wraps' website (and other yelpers) do it best. All I know is the process worked wonders, and I feel fantastic. I look forward to returning to Theresa soon! -

Theresa is wonderful. She's really nice and makes you feel really comfortable. She got me ready for upcoming Vegas trip and slimmed me down for the pool parties. I have been working out constantly and needed an extra boost for my vacation.
I got one her monthly specials, 3 for 2 deals. After the first wrap, I lost over 15 inches overall. After my third wrap, I lost a total of almost 20 inches overall.
Basically, you strip down and she wraps you tight over your entire body. She asks you what your problem areas are and tries to concentrate in those areas and make the wrap tighter. You'll exercise on a machine for about one hour. During that hour, she'll bast you with her solution every 15 minutes and tighten your wrap up at the half way mark. The hour goes by super fast because she puts on a movie for you.
When you get home, make sure you drink lots of water... and over the next few days. You'll start losing more inches as the days goes by because the water is flushing out the toxins in your body and skin. This wrap is not a dehydrating wrap where you lose water, you actually don't lose any weight at all. You just lose inches. The wrap tightens up your skin. The results aren't permenant because we ingest toxins with our food and drinks everyday. And if you spray tan, the results will not last as long because you're spraying yourself with "chemicals". Overall, I'm happy with my results for my Vegas trip!! Make sure you reserve your tanning and spray tans for AFTER the wrap... I had to learn this the hard way... Warning.. DO NO spray tan before your wrap.
I'm excited for her new procedures she's looking into. Pretty soon, she'll have a wrap where you'll actually lose weight. I would recommend this to anyone who wants fast results coming up for a vacay!!! -

A combination of long business trip (no gym time, jetlag) and long hours at work (vending machine dinner, chronic exhaustion) meant I felt lethargic and heavy and depressed, but an hour with Theresa and I walked out seven inches slimmer with a spring in my step. She listens really well and wraps you as tight as you want, then for an hour you get to work out and watch a movie or TV show while the minerals in the wrap do their magic and you detoxify.
Tips: wear an old bra and panties because they will get soaked in the mineral solution. Bring spanx or something if you have them for a little bonus shaping afterwards. Buy a package of a few visits; it is way better value. -

So a few weeks before our trip to Vegas, my cousin tells me about how he is gonna get a body wrap. I remember seeing the process on tv and thought why not. I figured why not give an extra edge since I've been working out hard. Well I got my wrap the Tuesday before our trip and I couldn't believe how much water just came out of me. The owner Roxanne is quite strong which is great when it comes to wrapping. Plus she is friendly. I can't remember my exact numbers but I lost over an inch in my waist. I actually took before and after pictures which are 23 hours apart.
Afterwards I even was shown another product that was pretty cool. I'm actually going back in a week or so to finish up my other wraps. Plus I get to watch movies while working out. It makes the time go by fast and it is just a fun experience. -

I just have to recommend this to anyone who is planning to put on a swimsuit and wants to look great. I didn't go in hoping for inch loss because I don't really have a lot to lose, but I did want to tighten my skin. The wrap did the job! It literally took a couple of years off my body, and I did lose about 9 inches off my whole body! That is pretty amazing! I don't know how long this is going to last but I'm loving looking in the mirror these days.
The salon is definitely not super high-end and doesn't necessarily have the spa feel but who cares about that when you are getting results. I'm going in for another one in about a week!Comment from Theresa S. of California Slim Wraps 9/3/2010

I came here to use my Groupon. First time ever getting a wrap. Drove in and was surprised that the location was not the best in Concord. From outside looked like a whole in a wall place, which it was. If you're looking for a VIP Spa with waterfall and bird chippering in the background, this is not the place for you. Theresa was very nice and friendly. After my wrap, she said I lost 12 inches. I really can't tell where the inches were lost. I asked her to concentrate on my tummy, but my tummy didn't loose any inches. I guess for temporary solution, this is ok. I would not get another wrap. Personally, it's a waste of money.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I arrived at California Slim Wraps, but I thought to myself, I have a Groupon, I made the appointment, I drove all the way out here, just go in - what's the worst that could happen?
Apparently the worst that could happen is that I came away with a slimmer looking face, thinner thighs, skinnier arms and TONS OF COMPLIMENTS. Teresa was wonderfully warm and awesome, and she came in to give me updates on the Giants game while I was working out watching my movie - that was much appreciated :). Great place with amazing results. I definitely recommend.
Warning - don't judge a book by it's cover. It isn't the fanciest of places. Don't expect a warm spa environment with babbling waterfalls and classical music playing in the background but still, a clean, well kept place -
Review from Rosie M.

Yes, I am someone that loves to workout. But after a baby, and 10 months of daily fast food(due to a crazy kitchen remodel), there was just this extra flab that would make me sad to look at. Hours of working out just didn't help, and I don't believe in diet pills although I really want to.
Okay, I am a person that buys advertised products. I listened to the body wrap commercials daily until I believed that I couldn't live without one. I had my first one last April, and lost 7 1/2inches. I had a double wrap 2 weeks later, and slipped into my pre-pregnancy jeans effortlessly. I had one more wrap the next week to make these changes permanent.
Then to prepare for my little sister's wedding, thanks to my friend for the gift certificates, I had body wraps to fit into the itty bitty bridesmaid's dress. After the wrap, the dress was too big! Can you believe a petite 0 being too big?!
Not all body wraps are the same! These are hydration wraps, and you continue to drink water while working out. The Suddenly Slender wraps use over 70 ionically charged vitamins and minerals which make the wraps a little pricey for some.
If it's beauty related, then it's an investment in me. At least, that is what I must say to myself to justify the purchase of the body wrap package. Anyway, if I could afford it, I would get a body wrap once a week for the rest of my life! They make you feel so good after wards; it's like getting a therapeutic body massage that makes you thinner.
Roxy has been a body wrap professional for over a decade. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable. Watch a movie while your working out in your wrap, or bring a friend and get thin together. Totally worth it! -

The wraps do work and it's not only about how you look, they remove toxins and make you feel better. Roxanne is a wonder ful person, so personable and knowledgeable about what she does. She makes the whole process very pleasant and has some good movies to watch!

Theresa has such a good heart! What a sweet woman. :) It's not the wrap alone that will make you feel great, it's Theresa's energy. She's knowledgeable, patient, and very understanding.

So I came to see Theresa in her new place and it is absolutely wonderful. It is nice to be able to go in and not only be able to smell clean air (as opposed to when it was in other salons where they had putrid chemicals) but also the feel of the space is very inviting. Theresa is amazing at giving wraps, she is efficient but also takes her time to get the areas that I am targeting. The deals on her packages are great and being able to go multiple times is what is really keeping me happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Theresa for opening up such a great spot.

Theresa is great! She makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I had my very first wrap yesterday. She does a great job wrapping you. It doesn't feel uncomfortable or too tight. Even if it was too tight, she encourages you to let her know if you feel discomfort at any time. So if it is your first wrap she explains the process to you and let you know how it works. Then after she wraps you she puts on a movie of your choice and then you go on an exercise machine like those Tony Little Gazelles. Every 15 minutes she'll check up on you and baste you with more of the solution. Then she tightens you about halfway through. I ended up losing 12 inches overall! Plus she got my chin (which has always been chubby since I was a little girl) noticeably leaner! I loved the whole thing. I will definitely go back to her again. Probably at the end of the month. She'll turn even the skeptic in you into a believer! Plus even if you're not in it to lose inches, the wrap makes you feel rejuvenated. Go see Theresa if you haven't already!
