Katy was so nice. Massage was amazing! Ambiance was perfect! Especially because they had a student discount which made everything that much better! read more

Once again, I received a massage at Centre Ave Massage. KEVIN was my masseuse. He is heaven sent and extremely thorough ask for him.. You won't be disappointed!. read more

Although I have not been there for a while, I was impressed by their professionalism.

I was 25 minutes late to my massage for reasons beyond my control (I have a 6mo old baby). I had a 60 minute deep tissue with Patríck Horgan and let me just say, what he was able to do in 35 minutes blew me away. I left the spa thinking: imagine what they could have done in the full 60? Patríck's touch was both firm and tender. I felt seen, heard, and deeply cared for. I was relieved of tension in my left shoulder and strain in my right leg. I cannot recommend Patríck enough. I will definitely be back to see them soon (for the full 60). read more

I love Centre Ave Massage and Spa! I've been 4 times, 3 of them being for deep tissue massage and one for a foot massage. Ashley is my most recent go-to and I'll definitely keep coming back to her. I am impressed by how friendly and knowledgeable everyone is here and she is no exception. She answers all my questions and makes me feel very comfortable and at ease, which is imperative to the massage experience. I'll keep coming back for sure! I can't wait to try dry cupping and some of the other services they offer. I will say that the included aromatherapy doesn't happen every time. Sometimes they ask and sometimes I'm not given the option. If that's important to you, you might have to speak up at the start of your service. read more

My fiance wanted to come here to get a couple's massage for our anniversary, and man, it was an experience! This was my first time ever getting a massage, and I was nervous as heck. But our therapists were very comforting and friendly, making it a wonderful time! Everything was very simple to do, from making the appointment to filling out the paperwork. The therapists ask us multiple questions about our preferences before starting, which made me feel even more at ease. You can also request to have a quiet massage, where no talking will be involved and they will whisper to you only when needed. The massage itself was pretty amazing. I've realized how much of a squirmy/ticklish person I am, but that's on me. When I was able to contain myself, it was very relaxing and almost put me to sleep a few times. They will include an essential oil of your choice, hot towels and soothing music. I felt pretty wonderful when it was over. If you are looking for a good massage therapist in the area, come here!! They offer all different kinds of massages, and I can vouch that their Swedish massage is fantastic. I'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

Centre Ave Massage & Spa - waiting room - Day Spas Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Centre Ave Massage & Spa masseur Kevin is amazing! He listens to your requests about how light or firm you want the pressure of the massage, and he follows through with it. He is a talented professional who can work with anyone. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a relaxing massage that you will thoroughly enjoy. You will feel relaxed and rejuvenated when you leave! read more

Ashley was truly phenomenal. I was struggling with a migraine and the head neck and shoulder massage did the trick. The price is fair and the experience is very enjoyable. I highly recommend! read more

I'm not somebody that gets massages often, but I try to get deep tissue work done somewhat regularly to counteract my idiocy in the gym. The deep tissue massages I've gotten always felt good, and I felt relaxed afterwards, but the folks here have completely ruined me from going anywhere else. My Wife got me a deep tissue massage twice, and while this is the first time I've found deep tissue massage painful, but it's the first time I've felt benefits for quite a while afterwards. This is the first time I've had a masseuse take real time to sit down with you, discuss trouble areas, and formulate a plan to try and fix it. In general, I feel like they've go above and beyond what I'd expect. I will say that if you ask them to truly do deep tissue and dig out the knots, it's likely going to be painful, and possibly on the verge of excruciating, but my neck, back, shoulders, and arms feel noticeably better for several weeks afterwards. Another thing that really stands out is that this is the first spot where I feel like they aren't looking at a clock to finish the massage. I don't hold it against folks as I know it's a business and time is money, but don't be surprised if you get some extra time as I feel like they generally want you leaving feeling at your best. Lastly, the staff has always been warm, friendly, and nothing short of kind. I happy recommend this spot and as I've said, I don't even bother looking elsewhere and I'd give this spot 6 stars if I could. read more

Rachel did an excellent deep-tissue massage for me. Really worked out a lot of some significant tension, and had great communication throughout (just the right amount, so the session was still quiet and peaceful overall.) read more

I came here for a couples massage for my boyfriends birthday! I've gotten about 5 massages in my lifetime, 3 done in PGH. My boyfriend has never had a massage! We both just wanted to stay for longer! There is a 10% off for students also which we used! They were very easy with booking appointments and gave us a reminder as well. Finally, to the massage itself. DAMN! We both had specific points that needed extra attention and both massage therapists hit them so well! We loved the heated bed and the leg support. The room, equipment, oils, and music provided such a relaxing, intimate experience! So far, this is the best massage place I have been to in the city!!! read more

Based on the other reviews, I decided to try this place. It was very easy to book my appointment, and everyone was friendly and helpful. My appointment was with Ashley, who is very nice. I have anxiety and don't like people to touch me, so I was tense, but I did find myself relaxing a little. Ashley talked to me about problem areas, and she suggested some things that would help. Although I wasn't comfortable with cupping during my first appointment, I would trust her recommendation next time. Overall, Ashley did a wonderful job, and I am grateful for her help. Based on my experience today, I see why others have rated this business so highly, and I definitely agree. I will be booking another appointment, and I definitely recommend this place to others! read more

We have been going to Center Ave for 10 years and counting. The facility is calming and beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating, and the service selection is excellent. Would strongly recommend Kevin and Abi! 10/10 therapists! Can't wait to return again soon. read more

I *just* got home from my massage with Ashley and had to leave a review, it was so wonderful. I am a vintage dealer as a side hustle and I move a ton of very, very heavy furniture! I moved a ton of stuff yesterday and the knots all over my body were screaming for some massage therapy. I booked a 90 minute deep tissue and not only did Ashley find and do a great job getting to my knots with the deep tissue, but it was still relaxing enough that I drifted off once or twice! Don't get it twisted, this is still a strong deep tissue, she's just that good. I'll definitely be back! *COVID INFO: they take every precaution and I felt totally safe and protected as well and had the confidence that they are adamant about following safety and health guidelines!* read more

Very nice spa. I needed to incorporate the sauna with my massage and this place delivered. I had aromatherapy, sauna and a swedish massage that focused on mexk, back and shoulders. This was a peaceful, affordable and relaxing experience so I highly recommend it and will certainly be back. Sarah was professional and knowledgeable. I loved the sauna being in the same room where I received my massage. I'd like to make it a routine because I felt amazing afterwards. read more

Requested a 90 min deep tissue massage online, was scheduled confirmed the next day got my service and time slot. They do not up charge for hot towels, essential oils, heating pads. I got to choose my own scent for the essential oils- lavender vanilla. The room my massage was in was down a hall in the back of the building, it felt as if I was leaving the spa. Massage was average-good. My masseuse was nice and and did not talk during the massage which is the way I prefer. I didn't feel rushed like some places I have been to for massages. Extra plus- they had chocolates on the table for vday to give to everyone. Overall I would go back. read more

Centre Ave Massage & Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The atmosphere of the spa is typical of what you would experience at any spa worth its salt: quiet, relaxed, and lightly scented. My friend and I were greeted by friendly whispering staff. We made our reservations in advance: I made a reservation for a Mud Body Wrap while my friend reserved a Full Body Scrub. We were taken to a beautifully scented and calming room to fill out first-time visitor forms. Shortly after we turned those forms in and picked our preferred scent for our massage rooms his masseuse and my masseur (John) came to show us to our rooms. The massage room was lighted in a way that I can only describe as a pastel technicolor dream. The massage and wrap itself were great. It started with a full body scrub of my choosing, a wash, the wrap, a sitting period, another wash, and it finished with a full body lotion. The wrap was comfortably cozy and it was a great time to relax and get lost. The scrub and lotion portions were accompanied by pleasing massages. My only complaints are that I wish the room itself was a bit warmer and that John was a bit firmer when he was giving the massages. When I wasn't in the wrap or when a towel was moved around I felt an unpleasant chill. My friend stated that he enjoyed the full body scrub. I would recommend the spa to include a section on client preference for conversation. I am the type that enjoys total silence or to listen to music/white noise. I don't mind stating my preference, but I know my friend was a bit shy about it. read more

Honestly, I was very nervous going in because I've never received a massage prior to today but ALLISON made me feel super comfortable. She greeted me with a warm and genuine smile (which makes all the world's difference when you're as uneasy as I was.) Allison was also very informative, helpful and considerate. She proved that she wasn't "all talk." She has the perfect touch, neither too gentle nor too rough. She definitely knows what she's doing and how to accommodate for each customer. Even after the massage, she took care of me, offering me water, warning me of possible soreness post-massage and charging me less than she ought to. Highly suggest this place! The woman at the front desk is also very sweet and friendly. She also makes beautiful jewelry! read more

I have many massages. Tina is the BEST! I have back issues and she has helped relieve my pain. Thank you!!

By far the best massage experience I've ever had. Sarah took the time to really help me with my pain instead of just helping me relax and I feel completely better. She truly has magic hands! read more

I can't express how much I love this place... I have been to a lot of massage places... stop looking and come here for your massage... I have seen a few of the therapist and I swear their hands are magical.. they can get booked pretty fast. Book in advance. Clean atmosphere & all around perfect... can't wait to come back ! read more

Wanted to surprise my wife with some spa time but I'm clueless on such things. Bonnie guided me through the process and was super helpful to get the right massage and facial package without overdoing it. Massages were expertly done and very relaxing. My problem is I can't remember the names of the masseuses. Sorry ladies. You were great My wife also got a facial and it was great. These folks get my most enthusiastic thumbs up. read more

Have been here multiple times and have seen multiple therapists. Never have a complaint. The place is clean and the massage therapists are fantastic. I will continue to go here. Usually see Ubie, but have gone to becky, sara and others. A+ read more

The best massage center in the entire city, hands down. Coming from 15 years in NYC I would arguably also say they are more skilled and comprehensive than any place I ever went to in NYC. They are knowledgeable, they listen, they are extremely kind and have amazing customer service. I usually go to Rebecca Crane who is incredible and helps me maintain my body's health from a peaceful and holistic way. I have been to everyone else there and they are just as good and knowledgeable as well! You always come out feeling like a million bucks read more

Received a prenatal massage from Grace yesterday and it was great! I was a bit skeptical about prenatal massages as I had received two previously which left me feeling dissatisfied. Third time's a charm! Grace was professional, warm, friendly and applied the perfect amount of pressure. Will definitely come back to see her! read more

If you want to pay for an overpriced body rub at 100 dollars, you can come here. Otherwise get someone else to rub lotion all over your body at the same price. I think there is huge variability among the masseuses here so make sure you do your research. read more

I came here for a prenatal massage from Rebecca C. and it was amazing! Rebecca recommended essential oils that were specific to my needs and she accommodated my pain areas throughout the massage. I would recommended her and Centre Ave Massage & Spa to anyone looking to get a prenatal massage in the Pittsburgh area. The whole experience was so relaxing and the spa was very clean and professional. read more

This is not a 5 star spa. The space is outdated and needs major redecorating. It is not welcoming and doesn't have much of a "spa feel". The massage was okay but I couldn't relax completely because you can hear other people talking, the massage therapist kept yawning and they take you down a back hall that looks absolutely nothing like what a spa should. If you're going to charge top dollar for a massage, please reinvest back into your building. Again, this has little to do with the actual massage itself and more about the overall atmosphere of the building. I prefer Evolve Wellness Spa in Shadyside and will continue to take my business there. read more

Consistently, the best massage. I live in NYC and get massages about 3 times a month, so please believe me when I say I am a connoisseur of deep tissue massages. I travel to Pittsburgh about 3 times a year to visit my family, and for the past 2 years, each trip I treat my elderly Mom to a massage at Centre Ave. Every visit has been exceptional. Cindy has a gift of hiring strong, knowledgeable, intuitive staff. And Cindy is the cream of the crop! If you want a relaxing or healing massage, I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I live out of town and wanted to get my mom, who lives in Pittsburgh, a gift certificate for a massage. I did extensive sleuthing online before selecting Center Ave. It paid off! My mom had a massage from Jay and just called to say it was the best massage she has ever had. She lives nearby and is thrilled to have a go-to place for massages now. I am just as excited to have a go-to gift for my mom. In addition to a great massage, I really appreciate how easy it is to purchase gift certificates online. There are many different choices for how it is delivered - snail mail, email that you can print and present, or they have many nice looking email templates that can be sent to the person you are buying it for. When buying an online gift certificate, it is nice to know that it will look special in someone's inbox. read more

I have been here twice. Once for a 45 minute massage and once for a facial. The facial was the best I ever had and the massage was extremely relaxing, definitely worth the price! My husband and other friends who went here also had a really good experience. It doesn't look too great from the outside of the spa but inside each room is unique with a different theme. Very relaxing atmosphere with soothing music. read more

Excellent table massage using warm table. The masseur offered to adjust the table temp which is great but the temp was perfect for me as is. He used warming pack on my back which relaxed the muscles prior to them getting massaged. Great technique and massage work on my back, shoulders, neck, scalp, legs, feet. One of the best massages I've ever had. I was rested this day and I was a bit more talkative. Usually I kind of drift off during massage. The masseur was good with my talkativeness. I felt comfortable. There is the front sun filled lobby to sit if you arrive early. There is also a quiet room to wait in. I chose the quiet room. It was nice and relaxing. They could invest a little more there to just streamline that room. Make it less cluttered. But I was comfortable there. They offered me tea and it was nice to relax there with tea before the treatment. The massage rooms are painted with relaxing colors and themes. I was in one with ocean theme color. It was nice. The music was relaxing. The massage room was private and very comfortable. The masseur offered to use scented oil and I agreed. This is a choice and I like it because it helps me relax more. I liked how they informed about the choices too. The 90 minute session was priced a little high for this area. I still gave the masseur a good tip. I felt like I got my money's worth. I highly recommend this place. They are very nice and very good. read more

I had the best massage in my life. Sarah was amazing!! The receptionist was super friendly and welcoming.I got a deep tissue massage and I am definitely in cloud 9! I will definitely come back and get more services!!! read more

I had a pretty severe injury a couple years ago. My scheduling at CAS was specifically to address a couple issues related to that injury. After just one session, Cindy was able to correct one or the problems and the other was fixed after just two more sessions. This was thrilling to me and really impressive. I really cannot say enough about the atmosphere, the professionalism and the skill level of the practitioners at CAS. I trust the care I get at CAS. Thanks to all! read more

Got a prenatal massage for my birthday present and I was also my first massage ever . It was so nice and relaxing at center ave. Massage and spa . I had the pleasure of meeting and getting worked on by grace and she made me so comfortable during the experience. I would highly recommend her and this location if you are anxious like I was or if you just want a nice experience. I came 15 mins early as suggested for new clients and got offered tea and water while in the waiting room and the table are firm and heated it couldn't have gotten any better on a cold winters day. read more

Got a couples massage with my girlfriend earlier, Sarah and Linda were very professional and gave us our best massages. Couldn't be happier with the experience. I got a deep tissue swedish massage, worth every penny and we will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is great! I called to schedule an appt. that day and was able to get a mud wrap treatment! Great treatment and great staff! I felt extremely relaxed and my skin was so soft after the treatment! I will be going back! read more

As a Pittsburgher constantly searching for the perfect massage...I wanted to walk out of this place and shout victory!! I always view them as a luxury, because well, a good one usually costs, and this place is definitely not on the cheap end. I paid $80 for a 60 minute Swedish massage. At first that seems like a lot, I know. But when I tell you it is worth it I am completely serious. Hsiung was my massage therapist and I recommend him with the highest rating of any massage therapist I have met in this city. His professionalism, expertise, and ability to manipulate and stretch my muscles to truly leave me feeling different than when I arrived...I was speechless. I would give the Centre and Hsiung six stars if I could! read more

This spa is not fancy, but very cozy and convenient if you live in Shadyside area. I used to live in the Essex house apt building and that's how I know about the place. But now that I live 30 min away, I still come back to this place for the best massage. Their staff are extremely knowlegeble and professional. Becky is excellent and I love her back, neck & shoulders massage. Everytime after the massage I feel totally relaxed. A must try if you haven't found a good day spa for massage you love! read more

I lived in Pittsburgh a year and a half ago. I got a deep tissue massage from Rebecca that was amazing. I have since moved away and CANNOT find a massage therapist that even comes close to her. The spa itself was beautiful and professional. Everyone was so accommodating and it was so relaxing. read more
