The entire experience on both visits were so amazing. The massages, mani/pedi's, facials & the grand finale was the wax treatments! I didn't want to leave but trust & believe we will be returning! Thank you so much for our parting gifts Nicole it was such a pleasure to meet you all. You really helped us prepare for our mom's homegoing in a special way.

The website just offers names, no actual description of the techniques/products used during the service. The woman who answered the phone was nice enough but couldn't answer my question smh. I waited several minutes for someone named Deja to come on the line and asked her to tell me a more detailed description of the facials they offered so that I could choose one. She said they cleanse your face and put 2 masks so what specific question did I have. Ummm I just asked you the specific question! I then asked her again for a simple description of each facial, it's only 3! She said the vital c is for hydrating, the acne is for acne, and the anti aging is for old people with saggy skin. WOW. I just hung up and booked somewhere else. Hopefully this business uses this opportunity to update their website as well as educate their employees (especially the person answering the phone!) on the types of services they provide. Example of a good facial description below: The ultimate Hydrafacial experience! The detox begins with Lymphatic Drainage, then, deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates the skin while incorporating a Booster designed to target your specific skin concerns. This treatment concludes with LED lights therapy. Dermaplane complimentary.

This salon has recently changed its name as it's under different ownership but the employees there…read moreare still the same. I genuinely like this salon. My stylist Shanica is literally the best. Over the past 4 years I've been seeing her, my hair has grown longer and is much healthier than it was before. The stylist I had before her had been over-processing my hair causing much damage. Shanica brought it back from the brink and for that, I'll always be grateful. My only complaint about this place is I wish they accepted credit cards. Minor issue, but I never carry more than a few bucks cash on me so it's kind of a pain to have to go to the ATM every time I get my hair done.

The man that did my pedicure did a horrible job filing my toe that made It look slanted and I told him to fix It and It was still crooked.

If I wasn't in the service industry I wouldn't have tipped him so he was lucky I was generous.

One of the more impressive things was that Sherry was able to book me the very day I was making my inquiry. She was quick to respond to my message to boot! After a brief consult and a glance at my Pin It picture of what I wanted, Sherry assured me that she could do the job. I am very pleased with the end result. I also had an opportunity to see another customer's makeover (went from a brunette to a highlighted blonde!) which was incredible. I have already booked my next appointment. The space is spacious; a historic old warehouse of sorts. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Retreat spa this afternoon, and recommend anyone in the vicinity looking for a new stylist to come give Sherry a try. You won't be disappointed.

It was my very first experience with a massage expert. I walked away feeling so great I recommended Wendy to my wifey who has some ongoing physical issues. However, I've begun developing a few issues of my own and expect to begin visiting myself, more often. From the Wifey: I've been a client of Wendy's for several years now. In fact, I followed her from her previous employer, to this location (her own place). Not exactly sure how many times I've seen her over the years. I'm the type person that goes when I have a ache or pain, not just for a relaxing massage. I've suffered from sciatic issues and lower back compressed vertebrae for years. When I feel my worst I finally make a decision to go. Of course, this isn't the best way of treating myself. When I go - Wendy takes the time to listen to me as I describe my current issues. She has never pushed or rushed me out the door. She takes what I describe and then begins. While working on me she then seems to feel (via her hands) exactly my issues. By time I leave I feel a lot better!!!!! As for the location: I would describe it as a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. So we will both say that we highly recommend Healing Hands, Wendy, for your massage needs.

I am not a regular pedicure customer and had never been to apothic before. The reviews were good and honestly they had the best time opening for what I was looking for. The inside is beautiful; set inside the old Hiram Hanes Edgar Allen Poe house in historic old town Petersburg it really has a rustic vibe. It's spring time and the fresh flowers everywhere were stunning and really lifted it up. There is a little boutique in the front. A little out of my price range but some nice dresses. I was greeted promptly and guided to the mid section where my nail tech took me almost 30 min before my appointment time. I was early and she was ready. Kim did an amazing job and we had a lovely conversation. She is very down to earth, accommodating, and kind. There's only one chair so you aren't sitting in a row of strangers with their feet soaking. Preferable. The chair is very comfortable and has a massage panel. She cleaned up my eyebrows as well, asking questions about how I'd like them etc. overall a very positive experience in nails. Did not get my hair done. If you appreciate the 1 on 1 with some stuff to look at, this is it.
