I found this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to find a wonderful massage therapist. I found the place to be clean, welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. Prices are reasonable and they offer 60 and 90 minute massages, ranging from traditional to deep tissue. read more

Reception: Kristen was great. So soft spoken, and polite. Lynn the owner was at a different desk. She was loud for the setting. Making a personal appointment on her cellphone, she at one point placed them on speaker phone so she could check her calendar and make the appointment. At that point I got the entire conversation and Kristen was on the other line trying to help other clients. I do feel that was a little unprofessional to be that loud in the setting we were all in. Britt was my massage therapist. She was fantastic. My massage was a relaxing one. I normally do not talk too much during the relaxing massages because well, I'm relaxing! Ha. She relaxes me so much that I felt like a jello jiggler when I stood up. Her pressure was perfect. She was very delicate. Britt was kind, and patient. I plan to return. read more

DeStress Express - Interior - Massage Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

As always, yesterday's services were wonderful. Started with a massage, it was my first time with Chad and WOW! He is very good. Next up was a facial with Kay and she has gotten even better over the years. You just can't go wrong with the experience at Destress Express read more

I love this spa!!! My therapist is truly the best! I come frequently but my recent visit has not been at all pleasant. During my time, it was brought to the Owners (I believe her name is Lynn) that a sexual assault occurred during a session. This was handled in such a repulsive manner I truly cannot believe what I witnessed. She down played the situation because the therapist was a man and then recommended that he not "come off" that way. Truly shocking, I wanted to truly apologize to that man for what he had to deal by his own boss. No urgency!!! I sat in my car hoping I would see the police come to take a report but I did not see anything. I do not believe I will be returning this situation has rubbed me so wrongly. I truly hope that young man has a strong support system because I'm sure he has been traumatized by this incident. read more

DeStress Express is good for pedicures. I only had a pedicure and it was decent. The atmosphere is a cookie cutter design. Very small room for the pedicure. Megumi is the therapist and has very good energy. They also have manicures and massage packages. I didn't do any of those. read more

I treated my daughter to a facial here,what a great experience! It was such a peaceful setting in the lobby and my daughter said the woman who treated her was the utmost professional and incredibly kind! Can't thank them enough for it!! read more

Stephen was amazing!!! I had a see tissue massage with him, hands down one of the best ones I have gotten in a while! Needless to say I will be going back. read more

Their prices are not as advertised so make sure you ask ahead of time. I no longer tip because their prices have become insane! I only keep coming to see Quala. It is a nice place for a massage I just don't like their decietful ways on prices. read more

DeStress Express - Massage Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

I decided I needed a self care day and searched for massage near me as I'm visiting the area. I called a couple places who were not able to get me in today. When you called Destress they were able to get me in immediately. They were very helpful and professional on the phone. Check in was easy and no wait. Angel was my masseuse and let me tell you, her name is so fitting because I was in HEAVEN. We had a brief discussion about what my needs and preferences were. Once the massage started I knew I was in the right place. Pressure was great, technique was outstanding!! It wasn't long before I drifted off into a bliss of relaxation. I loved that she worked all the tension points and followed my request to the T. No hallway noise which is so appreciated. Sound in room was nice, heat on bed was low and just right. Angel created a very zen space which helps me drift off. EXCELLENT!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I had a massage with Chadwick today and it was hands down the best massage I've ever had! This was my first professional massage from a man. He was so professional, great calming energy and used perfect pressure! I'm normally so sore after massage therapy but I actually feel amazing this time. He is clearly an expert in his field! It was exactly what I always expect from a massage but have never experienced before. His vibe is the best! I already scheduled another massage with him. read more

Holy Smokes!! I haven't had a bad therapist yet! We have tried multiple and I mean multiple massage spas in the area and not a one of them has compared to the professionalism and skill that we've experienced at DeStress Express. There are no gimmicks, memberships that you can't get out of easily, or therapists who don't know what they are doing! We go as often as we can afford to go and it has been a game changer. I would highly recommend Troy and Brittany but Kiki is amazing as well. We've tried a few others and they were good also, but Troy and Brittany are our go to therapists! The front desk staff is also incredibly thoughtful, helpful, and welcoming! I promise you can't go wrong trying them out and it's worth every penny!! read more

I had back surgery a few months ago and while I am healing well, I was experiencing a lot of muscle soreness, particularly around my hips, and between my shoulders. I was set up with a massage therapist who knew exactly what to do. Nathan was intuitive and worked miracles with both my muscle soreness and the headache I had when I arrived. I was extremely pleased with the massage and booked another session with him before I left. The next day at work, I was close to pain-free and my coworkers noticed how well I was moving. I am already looking forward to my next massage. read more

I've been here a few times and it has always been a pleasant and enjoyable visit! The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating! I would definitely recommend them. read more

I had the most amazing target massage. I was in a lot of pain when I entered and no pain when I left. The therapist was wonderful. This is the best massage place in Hampton by far. read more

Relaxation at its finest! I came here and enjoyed a hour of bliss that ran me $59. What a great price for a wonderful massage done in a relaxing atmosphere. If I lived here I would definitely be a regular. I set up my appointment last night and they got me in the next day. I arrived early and they took me right back. The lady that did my massage I believe was named Brittany. She was pleasant and the atmosphere with the dim lights and classical music along with the massage was heaven. 90 minutes runs $79. Gosh I wish I would have done the 90 minutes. read more

Very relaxing atmosphere and my massage was everything! Will book again for massage and other services.

I got a facial from Kay and it was wonderful. I was relaxed and my skin felt great afterwards. I highly recommend her.

I would like to leave a review for Chadwick, perfect sounds with a relaxing dark room. Only massage I've ever had and it was amazing. thank you Chadwick. -nobles read more

I absolutely love this place! When I first moved to this area I was in search of a new massage therapist, thankfully I came here and got an amazing hour and a half massage from Natasha! I've been going for over a year now. All the things I've liked about different massage therapist seemed to roll right into one. I find that she is very attentive to what I need in terms of if I tell her my neck or leg is bothering me. Not to mention you can't beat the price! Its $75 for an hour and half, and if you buy 4 or more at a time it's only $70. You can also purchase any of their services online! I've never had a problem getting an appointment. Oh and all the rooms are decorated so nicely, really makes you feel comfortable and at home. One day I tried a facial and I hadn't had one before but it was great, I felt very refreshed afterwards! I like to get this done before special occasions or vacations because it does seem to give you a certain glow. I also did microderm abrasion once (they had a special) and that was good too. This really is a one stop shop because I also get my pedicures here as well. I love the cute designs they put on my toes! I get a lot of compliments on them. If you're still not convinced just go visit, they will show you around!! The staff is really great. read more

Wife got me the dudes day off for my birthday. I get a massage every couple of months and this is one of the best I have ever received. Very nice and also continued to ask was the pressure good and if I needed anything which I appreciated. Manicure was good just shaped my nails. Pedicure was really nice. No tv's or music in the nail room. No issue though I had my headphones and the lady doing my nails was very nice. I will be back again. read more

First visit with a gift card and I was super impressed! The location is tucked away but easy to find. The ground were very clean aNd in order. When I entered the staff was super polite and it was a calming relaxing atmosphere. My therapist was Nina and she did an amazing job with our hour. Her deep tissue was aggressive, lol but I've never felt better after a massage. I felt revived! I'm not a strange to massages as they are usually relaxing but this one was effective on my kinks And tension each room had a unique design. My room was so gorgeous, like a royalty theme. I will definitely return for a deep tissue with Nina . read more

Had an amazing 90 minute massage with Nina. Best. Service. Ever. The room was cozy and dark, the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing massage. Scents were not overpowering, and the massage therapist asked my preference - something I've never been asked!! Infused water was served in the waiting area, Nina had a cup ready for me after the massage. Truly I cannot rave enough about my experience! Will be back! Highly recommend! Also try Nina! Girl can work some magic! read more

DeStress Express - One of the themed massage rooms. - Massage Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Iv been getting my nails done since I was 12 and I'm 30 now ..... today I went to use the rest of my mother's day gift at DeStress Express Massage Therapy in Newport News and experienced the WORST 2 hour mani/pedi in the world!! My nails look like my 7 year old daughter sat me down to play dress up and did my nails now let me be clear the Massage and Reflexology was AMAZING and that part gets 5 stars......but oommggg my nails are sooooo screwed up I was in tears smh ...... the office manager didn't charge me for the service but technically it was a gift card so it was already paid for and now I have to search for a nail salon that's open on a Sunday and come out of my pocket to fix this problem ( for the record the office manger was very nice and understood my issue even tho she tried to come up with excuses as to why her nail tech sucks) ‍ read more

PASS on the nail service here! (I read the reviews, but all were in regards to the massage services but hoped the nail service would be as good). The room was great (very relaxing atmosphere) & lacked the odor that I normally can't tolerate w/ my asthma. I agree w/ other reviewers that the walls are thin. Kay was very friendly sweet, HOWEVER, our manicures weren't straight & she missed the sides of the nail consistently. I had scheduled this for my maid of honor & I before my wedding & basically had to eat $175 bill that we had to rush & re-do in the car to the ceremony. My suggestion would to get better task lighting and maybe magnifying glasses if Kay is struggling to see adequately, but I have gotten better manicures at the Beauty school. :( read more

I've been here twice. The first time, it was wonderful. A much needed massage and stress relief was needed. But the second time was absolutely my last time. I'm not sure if the young lady who did my massage was inexperienced or in training, whatever the case may be, she definitely made me feel so much worse than I did prior to coming. She was rough during the massage, which made it nearly impossible to relax. She dug a little too deep. It was horrible! I was sore and aching for weeks after the massage. Nope! Never again. read more

I've worked with Carissa for over a year. She is top notch; she finds knots I didn't realize I had. I recently had surgery and she recommended Michelle and myofascial release to help with my range of motion. Best thing I ever did. She worked hard and gave me more exercises to do at home. read more

My massage with Steven today was spectacular!! He is amazing! Will definitely be back!

I enjoyed the several times I visited this establishment. They were professional and courteous and took great care of me and my husband. Thanks Michelle for relieving my stress! read more

Rachel is awesome. She made me feel very comfortable. She listened and targeted area that I requested. I feel I got individual treatment and not a generic massage. I will definitely go back. read more

I've had about 10 massages or so here and I can say with the uptmost confidence that it's the best in the area!!!! You wouldn't be able to tell from the outside, but its very cute and well-decorated on the inside. It's located in a business strip, in the middle of nowhere, so I always feel kind of sketch coming here. The front desk receptionist is quick and pleasant, often knowing you by name. The waiting room is a little bit cramped, but its usually empty so not a biggie. Almost every time I've come here I was able to get my appointment earlier than scheduled. I've played around with the therapists and realized almost all of them have the same exact technique from start to finish. I was told the manager trained them all and they have to do her style of massage. Not complaining, because I really love knowing that Im going to get the same quality from any member of their team. Deep Tissue tends to be done way too hard, but Destress Express opts for a slower, more technical approach. Hands down the best scalp and neck massage! They have about 6-8 rooms, Im not too sure what the exact number is, but they are all decorated just right. I feel extremely comfortable in each and every room and love the interesting colors and artwork. The music is typical for this kind of establishment, and played at just the right noise level. Natasha has been the best IMO (just dont overbook, please save some space on her calander for me! ) The prices are up there, but its about the same anywhere else for this level of quality. I usually pay anywhere from $60-75 per masssage. read more

I look forward to going back soon, loved the facial, they have a good package deal. See you guys soon

This place is beautiful. All of the massage rooms are calm, dimly lit, beautifully decorated. They offer massage services as well as nails and other beauty services, and they sell aromatherapy products. I have only had one bad experience here, and the manager immediately made it right. This place is first rate. Natasha is the absolute best therapist! read more

And to go with the amazing services are great prices!! read more

By far the best massage services offered in the area. Always a friendly staff. This is the only place I will go to. Typically it's twice a month for me, but if I could afford to go more often, I definitely would. I have been receiving massages for around 10 years now as part of therapy to keep my body going right, so I am definitely very particular with choosing someone. read more

I had a delightful massage here. I am a recovering cancer patient who has had bad experiences at other area massage businesses. Here I was treated with dignity and respect. The staff was kind and sensitive to my needs. The massage rooms are spacious and the waiting area was pleasant. A wonderful and relaxing fragrance filled whole facility. The massage itself was one of the best I have had. read more
