While on a business trip to Charlotte, I was lucky enough to get a wonderful, expert massage from Mary Jane (MJ). She demonstrated extraordinary awareness of and sensitivity to my physical state and my response to her treatment, like a fine musician playing a violin. Her massage was very soothing, although she also applied extra pressure where I most needed and requested it (e.g., my neck). The water sounds, music, lighting, etc. all contributed to the relaxing atmosphere and I really can't think of anything that I would change about the whole experience. read more

Went to Charlotte for a conference and needed a last minute relaxation time. I'm so glad Day Break was able to accommodate me! Thank you, Sam! I will be back in Charlotte again next year! read more

Had a great time here been here 2 times already. Simple straight forward message place.

The location is great ! The cutest house. The massage was amazing . Sam did a great job with the pressure and I was so relaxed ! I can't wait till my next massage . Due to the construction it was a little difficult finding the place . Overall everything was super professional. read more

So I been coming here for years. I signed up for massage envy and move around a lot so I haven't been here lately. So I just started going back and omg how I have missed them. Massage therapy is one of my fav thing to do. I used to go once a week but now I go twice a month. I honestly wish I could go daily. Ok so Brien is absolutely amazing. He listens to your requests for pressure and focus areas. Many therapists ask but they do as they please(what's the point of even asking). Aside from another massage place in Charlotte(I'll do that review later) this is one of the best massage spots I've ever been to. I like the decor. The massage tables are comfortable and they are heated. I love that. It's a house they transformed into a massage place. The massage rooms are upstairs. Parking is limited. Park directly behind the building. There are other businesses and a resident that lives next door. I made a mistake and parked there once but I wasn't towed or anything thank God. If there isn't parking available in their parking area you can park at the end of the parking lot. But they don't want you to park there if there's a lot of cars already parked there. Ask the owner to be sure prior to your massage just to be sure. Easy to make an appointment. You have to put down a card to make the appointment(due to cancellations I guess). They are busy and rightfully so. They give amazing massages. The owner mans the front desk and he is very nice/helpful. You can book online but I usually make my appointment after my massage. If you want a great massage check them out. And one of my fav Starbucks in right up the street. It's right across from cmc. Awesome location. I just love the dilworth area. read more

Day Break Massage And Wellness - Inside the massage room. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great location and massage. So glad I found this place. It was easy to book the massage. The receptionist was able to provide a number of time slots which was very helpful. I did a 90 minute deep tissue massage and it was perfect. The house and rooms are very nice as well. Highly recommend! read more

I called several places for a last-minute massage and this was the first one with an opening that day. Given the yelp rating, I gladly took it. The location was a cute house with heavy curtains to keep the light down and noise dampened. The receptionist offered me a chilled bottle of water and I immediately saw a note that CCs get a 2.75% surcharge (none for cash or debit). There was also a notice on the wall that a 20% tip is expected for all services. I'd say "duh" but I am a fan of clarity so shouldn't knock it as it might well have been someone's first time. The massage was amazing. My biggest complaint was that I was an idiot and only went for 60 minutes even though they offered me the option for 90. Next time I won't make that same mistake again--if 90 is available, I'll take it. The aromatherapy scents were good--a subtle enough mix that I knew something special was going on, but I didn't feel like I was in a hippy shop. The room did get a bit chilly for me after a while, but that made the hot towels (to remove excess oil from my skin) all the more amazing whenever they were brought out. Next time I will ask for it to be a tad warmer, though. There was music/ambient noise to the point that I wasn't bothered by outside sounds (another yelper mentioned this but I had no problems whatsoever once in the room), but my masseur and I could talk easily--and more often he could tell just from my breathing whether the pressure was good or not. Perry is a great massage therapist but he could well have been a magician. There were many moments when I actually couldn't tell exactly what he was doing (was it a thumb, a fist, a knuckle, an elbow, or maybe all of the above?) but it felt like he was melting my flesh into soft butter rather than tense muscle meat. I knew I was in pain, but it was an unusual pain for me, more radiating than in a single knotted spot. Perry found the issues and worked them out--not just the one spot but a general postural correction including spot-focus, realignment, stretching, and general relaxation. I had debated getting totally nude--I rarely do in a new place--but suspected I would need some full spine exposure and I was right. Not to worry: Perry's draping techniques were perfect. I was covered, protected, and felt totally safe and not at all awkward even as he rotated my legs, adjusted the bolster, had me flip over, hot toweled my limbs down, etc. Perry offered me his card as I paid (along with another chilled water plus a healthy snack thing I didn't pay attention to due to finally feeling good again) and I took it so as not to offend him, but, really, I didn't need it. I'll be back and I'll be asking for him. read more

I booked an appointment here for my boyfriend, a 90min sports massage. His first experience wasn't great and it made us regret choosing this place. But after our previous review here, the owner contacted us and gave us a free session. The second time around was amazing and I really appreciate the great customer service. We will definitely be going back. read more

As a day spa owner in California, I'm certainly qualified to evaluate a massage. I had Brian, for a 2 hour massage and he was amazing! Definitely one of the best I've ever had. He was knowledgeable, strong, I completely trusted him & had a soothing energy & intuition. The spa was clean, and I loved the warm towels, heated table and the overall comfort of the space. read more

Building is an old house right across from the hospital. Extremely steep driveway. DO NOT drive your low clearance vehicles here unless you want to search for alternative parking. Very high chance of damaging your car leaving down the steep grade. Prices are reasonable, massage was okay, nothing memorable. It was a little noisy and kind of ruined the relaxation and it was very bright in the room. You do get a full hour and not 50 minutes so that is a plus. read more

I don't recommend patronizing this establishment. I made and confirmed an appointment with credit card, and arrived the next day - only to encounter an unprofessional gentleman who acknowledged he'd fumbled the schedule and could not honor the appointment. Mistakes and mishaps happen, of course. How companies and stores respond to those mishaps is what differentiates solid customer service. In this case, the associate offered no customer service recovery (read: we goofed and would like to make it up to you). The email I sent through the company's website did not receive a response. More concerning, when my review was posted on Yelp, the business owner contacted me suggesting I should not have shared my experience online because it could damage his business (read: a company more interested in itself than the client experience). The owner did respond on Yelp that he'd tried to make things "rite" (as defined by an offer to rebook the appointment). There was no one else in my party. The beauty of Yelp is that it puts information in the hands of the consumer to use as you see fit. If you desire a dependable, reliable and professional experience, keep shopping. read more

Worst massage experience. My massage was uncomfortable. Before my massage, I specifically asked my therapist to ask me about pressure. There was too much pressure being applied (I'm small framed, 120 pounds) and when I asked for a little less pressure, I still did not get it. She also massaged my spine, which made me extremely uneasy. Sometimes, we do not question our therapist because they are supposed to be knowledgeable and informed on proper procedures. This was the first time I left a massage feeling tense and disoriented. I will now start looking up previous experience by LMBT #. Lesson learned. read more

This is my fourth time into day break massage. The first time was with a Groupon for $32 for a full 1 hour massage. My therapist was Kyle, he's only second male therapist I have had, my first at a salon in Michigan was the worst I've ever had, very uncomfortable. But Kyle was very friendly and knowledgeable. I left the first time feeling great. I enjoyed it so much I got another coupon at the salon for the $32 offer. My second time in, my boyfriend I did a couples massage. Out therapists were Maggie and Molly. They were fantastic. Very focused on problem areas and my pressure was great. (I'm one of those, "push as hard as you can people"). I have also gotten a facial by Debbie, which was relaxing. I've never had one hour dedicated to my face, love love loved it. I had to write as soon as I got back from day Break because I really do love the salon, and they've expanded which I'm so proud of them for. Again I chose Kyle, he's one of the best massage therapists I have had since I moved to Charlotte. I will be back! read more

I had the "Slim and Detox Body Treatment" on Saturday morning. Upon entering I walked in to the quaint home-like building. I was greeted by my masseuse and given some water with cucumber and asked to fill out some standard information. Robert ( I believe that was his name) was very friendly and professional. This was the first time I have had a male massage therapist and was slightly uncomfortable at first but by the end I felt good enough where I would go to him again. The eminence organics products smell amazing and made my skin feel fabulous! This is definitely a treatment and not really a massage. I was hoping he would massage it in but it definitely seemed to be more of a rub it in kind of situation, so I was slightly disappointed. I was able to get a discount price but I'm not sure if I would pay the full $135 for this treatment...I mean it was great but I felt that it should be priced in the $65-70 range for what you get. A full ten minutes of the 60 is spent simply waiting for the product to soak in. As a treat this is great but it probably wont be part of my monthly routine. read more

Great converted house in Dilworth with top notch staff. One esthetician - Neff who is incredibly experienced and awesome. The massage therapists have all been practicing over 2 years, which I appreciate. They take extra time to provide "wow" service here, which is also delightful. It's nice to have therapists who study their craft and love it, which is what you get at Day Break. I had Perry and he's very unique and very in-tune with each client. Highly recommend him. I know they are all good though. Owner Robert works the front and schedules appointment so it's a true small business, definitely always a fan of supporting them! They do not offer packages or subscriptions, which I actually like, but never the less, pricing is competitive so it's still a great option. Absolutely recommend you check this place out. read more

I've been getting massage for years, and I consider this part of wellness, not just an occasional indulgence. I have been all over Charlotte for massage- from the Hearst Tower Spa's to private therapists in Concord. This is not the type of massage therapist that hands you a robe and some green tea and pats you for 55 min. This IS a clean, organised massage therapist that will help you achieve more from your run/yoga/dayjob. They do an excellent job of finding balance between the therapeutic benefits of massage and recognizing that you can do other things with your time and money. Anthony is one of the best therapists I have ever had, and my body feels the better for it. Scheduling is pretty easy-online or call, and they have DISCOUNTS with local employers ( CMC in particular). They also do a lot of community involvement, which is important to me, as I believe you should walk the walk and talk the talk- Susan G Komen Walk for the Cure, Chair massage at a local hospital, etc. I cannot recommend this business higher. read more

Had an excellent Swedish massage with Sam. The place is neat and clean. Rustic which is fine with me. Very comfortable. The woman at the desk was very welcoming. read more

The environment was very peaceful. Love that is is in an old home type structure. It is dark and quiet in the massage rooms. Husband and I got a couples massage for our anniversary. Was a great way to spend an hour resting and recharging before we celebrated. read more

First time visiting as an early birthday gift and a much needed massage. Having moved from NJ/NY having a normal massage & foot rub was a biweekly treat and I completely loved my masseur so I prefer a male. I can't say enough how great my therapeutic massage was even having a masseuse. From a therapeutic perspective it was the right amount of pressure and very clean, professional and relaxing. I probably wouldn't use a masseuse for a deep tissue (until someone proves me wrong) but relaxation wise this was good. I would definitely recommend to friends, family and foes alike due to their professionalism. I'm still in search of a permanent masseur but this place is definitely in the running. Go check them out read more

This place is so welcoming and cozy. Always have a relaxing experience. Sam worked on the areas I needed most and I feel like a brand new person! read more

Wonderful staff! I always leave here feeling like a brand new person. These massage therapists are the best in Charlotte, hands down!

I really needed a massage and decided to get one last minute. I wanted to go elsewhere but no openings were available. My neck and shoulders were so tight, I had to do something so I went to Day Break Massage & Wellness and wish that I hadn't. When I called to schedule the service, I was told two masseuse were available. I requested the person with the highest compliments and was told that was Sam. I arrived 30 minutes early for my 5:00 pm appointment and waited some time to be acknowledged. After finally being acknowledged, I was directed to a seating area to complete an intake form. I noted that I needed special attention to my neck and shoulders. I completed that process and waited a while longer. Finally, I was directed to the second floor for the massage. The establishment is an older converted house full of small rooms and narrow passageways. After undressing and getting on the table, Sam went over the intake form. I reiterated that my neck and shoulders needed special attention. Sam went through the massage as if he were following a checklist or going through the motions. I did not want to tell him how to do is job and thought that he would really work on my neck and shoulders but that was not the case. I was so disappointed with the service because I pointed out in writing and verbally what I wanted but did not receive. I will not return to Day Break Massage & Wellness. read more

This place is not worth the price. My first massage was great but the woman cut it short by 15 mins. The masseuse was great but cheated me on time. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and tried a second time. The second time I received a glass of wine and the full length of my massage;however, the gentleman needed to cut his nails. This place is way to expensive to roll the dice on service. read more

This is the worst place I've ever had a massage, unforgettable. It was the first place I went to when I moved to Charlotte. I asked the lady to please apply pressure but somehow she just ended up give me a body rub (UGH). I would recommend Zen Massage (had a deep tissue, good) or Ballantyne spa (had Swedish massage and it was good). read more

I've been going to Day Break for 3-4 years now and always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Perry is a very experienced therapist and has endless knowledge of techniques to draw upon based on your needs. Sara is also amazing, after telling her of a couple of problem areas, she worked on them both and made the problems go away. My only complaint is not having enough time to get in to get worked on more often. I will be back, again and again and hopefully soon! read more

I see Melissa every couple of weeks for a back issue and a neck issue that I have. Every time I go see her I feel much better when I leave. She's exceptionally talented. I highly recommend that you pay her a visit. read more

Amazing place. Peaceful quiet and extremely capable. Sara, Melissa, Sam, Perry, Robert, Paige, what an amazing crew. Many a time I have walked in there stressed, tired, and sore and walked out in a relaxed stupor. Even the waiting room for the brief time you are there is an oasis. Would recommend every time!! read more

$60 for an hour massage? I think so. The environment is relaxing and welcoming, complimentary mimosa, champagne, wine and water. I had the Swedish with Sarah while my husband the deep tissue in another room. My favorite part was the scalp and facial massage. So nice. This is a low key, affordable place for a nice afternoon :) read more

Outstanding massage by William. Flew into the area picked this place randomly based on price and availability for last min. Appointment and received the best deep tissue massage money could buy. read more

Six years ago I woke up to my parents telling me their marriage was happier than ever. An hour after that we were all feeling lucky so we adopted a rescue puppy and all bought scratchers at the local Grab N' Go. My dad won 100,000$ on a winter wonderland scatcher and we immediately went to the bone marrow ward at Levine Childrens Hospital and paid for a young adorable 8 year old girls transplant. Birds were chirping, doves were mating, and joyous laughter and dull chuckles were ever lasting in the opaque scenery. I was sitting there, hugging my next of kin and thinking man, this is exactly what life is about and the good lord is smiling down on me, I didn't think life could be anymore perfect or beautiful. However, I spent a day at Day Break Massage and Wellness and that entire day 6 years ago is hell on earth in comparison to the majestic and out of this world pleasant experience that flowed throughout my body on that crisp Autumn day. The massage was only rivaled in comparison with the pleasant energy and great vibes the staff consistently radiated. I would trade that 100,000$ scratcher, that transplant, and sell my entire family on the black market to Vietcong prairie farmers if I was guaranteed the same experience I had at Day Break for the rest of my life. read more

I had a WONDERFUL experience at Day Break massage. The staff was kind and professional, and the studio was clean, comfortable and inviting. My massage therapist was Kahilea, and she was incredibly skilled. She listened to my concerns, and really put the emphasis where I needed it. I have had many massages over the past 25 years and I would say that she was probably one of the best therapists I've ever had. Not only did she have effective technique that was firm and soothing, but she was an all around lovely person. I only wish I lived closer to Charlotte to be able to see her on a regular basis. I also had a great experience when booking and checking out. Both men who helped me were kind and friendly. I can not recommend this establishment, and Kahilea enough. read more

Similar to the other reviews below, I too had a bad experience with Daybreak. I was scheduled for a Sunday afternoon massage only to be called an hour before my appointment and told that my therapist would not be in. I understand things happen, but it was incredibly bad customer service on their part to let me know so late and offer NO acceptable alternative. I booked on Sunday because that's usually my day off. They told me they could get me in a during the week, which was the best they could do. I guess that they don't have a deep roster of therapists they could call to take the place of the one who backed out of my appointment. I normally go to Zen in Dilworth or Eden along South Blvd. Both places have been great every time. I figured I would try something new with Daybreak.. I will not make that mistake again.. read more

Too gentle despite of my request of a full massage. It was more like rubbing oil on your skin instead of a massage. Won't come back.

Had an amazing massage from SAM...My body was a complete mess of knots and tightness. He was diligent and sent me away at the end feeling relaxed. I will definitely see Sam again. read more

I had a detoxifying body wrap this morning and it was incredible! It completely hydrated my body and left me feeling great. Jamelia was very professional and did an excellent job. The atmosphere is serene with thoughtful, relaxing touches everywhere you turn. The owners were very helpful and understanding of what I needed and everything exceeded my expectations. I wish I lived here so I could get one every week! read more

I have been a client of Daybreak for over a year now and love it. The owner, Robert, always makes me feel welcome and just has great customer service in general. He has always done his best to accommodate a client like me, who doesn't book terribly far in advance. Tammy has cleared my skin up with her amazing facials and microderm. and I LOVE getting deep tissue massages there as well. Thanks Daybreak for being my little oasis of peace. read more

I've been calling around to find a massage place on a Saturday and day break fit me in. For weeks before I came in for my massage, I was completely stressed and felt the tension in my body, but my masseuse did an amazing job! I feel more positive, stress free, relaxed. Great setting and offered me a free glass of red wine!! The only thing I would say is that I got a little lost finding the main door and the parking is crammed. Other than that, it was a great experience!! read more

Absolutely amazing massage! The therapist was great! I also liked that he didn't talk during my massage. I've had a lot of massages but I highly recommend Day Break! read more

I had the best massage of my life here with Brian! I don't live in Charlotte, but traveled here on business. I will drive here at least once a month just to get a massage from Brian! His hands are totally worth it! read more

MJ is amazing! After an hour with her, my shoulder/back and sciatic pain have finally gotten relief! I will definitely be going back.
