I was left feeling so rested and relaxed after my massage at Essential Beauty Spa. Although I did come across a language barrier, the workers really tried their best to accommodate and provide excellent service! Their Swedish style massage was new for me and I enjoyed it very much. Luckily, the staff member that massaged me read my body language very well and massaged at the right pressure, but they didn't ask me how much pressure I wanted beforehand. It was still a nice experience, and I went with my friends and did the couples massage. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and received friendly service from the team! read more

booked a couples massage on august 26, the massage was alright but don't thjnk my masseuse was a professional, she was pressing into my bones and honestly felt like more pulling and excessive tension rather than a reliving and relaxing experience. i felt good when i came out but after 24 hours, my neck started to feel sore and stiff. it has only gotten worse... i quite literally cannot move my right side of my neck. now im considering to get it checked out since its been over a week. booked on groupon, they don't do refunds unfortunately read more

This review is regarding message services received. My husband and I got the Swedish couples message. I think everyone has a different level of pain tolerance, which is reasonable. I will say finding the right pressure was a bit of a challenge. There was a bit of a language barrier, which I genuinely don't mind, but working together felt difficult when "ouch" and "please avoid this area" are difficult to get the message across. I will say the person giving the message tried their best, but we were having some disconnect. I also thought it was odd 3/4 of the way through the service they left the door wide open, mind you anyone could've walked in. Given that most people are a bit more in a vulnerable position, I would've preferred they not open the door and leave it totally open for everyone.... Additionally I came home sore when I did not have any aches to begin with. Highly disappointed and would not in good conscience recommend. I tried my best to not be biased even with all the words of caution other 1 star reviews leave... book at your own discretion. read more

We came in for a couples massage recently after finding a great Groupon deal, and overall we left satisfied. The therapist working on me was super thorough. I started with "medium pressure," quickly realized I had overestimated myself, told her it was a bit much, and she adjusted right away. I appreciated how attentive she was. The whole place is clean, organized, and cozy. Our room was cute, and they put real effort into the floral ceiling décor. The soft purple ambient lighting was such a nice touch--especially since it's my favorite color. The only part that felt a little off was at the very end. After the therapists finished and stepped out for us to change, we stayed on the table for a few minutes just to enjoy that post-massage float--you know, when your body turns into warm pudding and you'd want to happily nap right there. But a few minutes later, one of the therapists knocked and asked if we were done - twice! It felt like we were being rushed out, even though the place didn't seem very busy. Other than that tiny hiccup, everything else was lovely, and the massage itself was totally worth it. Would consider coming back! read more

My fiancee and I came in for a couples massage. It was honestly a great experience. I had the male masseuse and the pressure was just good for me. The experience felt clean and enjoyable. read more

Booked a couple's massage and used a Groupon discount! We picked the Swedish massage and the service came with hot stones and aromatherapy. We were seen immediately for our appointment and was greeted warmly. My masseuse was a lovely lady and my boyfriend was assigned to a gentleman. She had the perfect pressure and was making sure to check on me diligently. My boyfriend said he was very relaxed after his massage as well. After the service, we were offered some water and we tipped them with cash and then card. Overall, the setting was relaxing, clean, and welcoming! We will definitely come again. read more

We got the couples massage offer on Groupon and my expectations were very low. To my surprise this was one of the best overall experiences I've had for a couples massage. The room was super cute the pressure during my massage was perfection and their playlist was good and relaxing. Upon walking in we were greeted warmly and the gentleman at the front did a wonderful job assisting us with our Groupon redemption and took the time to explain the differences between the massages....most places I've been to have been as thorough and typically try to upsell...this place did not and they didn't press us for a tip...which is why we made sure to tip them well. I definitely see myself coming back when I'm in the area again. Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

Good massage! I purchased the Groupon ticket. It's my first time getting massage, like literally EVER and it was great! We did the couples massage male on male and female on female. Super relaxed feeling with music, lovely room for us very clean. We met the owner he gave us a little cup of water at the end of our massage. We did the Swedish massage with hot stone on our body, they put hot towels to wipe the oils. I would definitely come back, loved the atmosphere, super relaxed feeling. Beauty decor from the inside very modern. read more

Best massage I've had. David was very thorough and gave me a deep tissue massage.just what I needed today. I'll definitely tell others. I will book David again soon. read more

Very uncomfortable experience. I paid for my massage, but afterward they kept pressuring me for a tip and it felt like they didn't want to let me leave without paying extra. Tips are supposed to be optional. During the massage, my earring was also pulled out of my ear, which was painful and careless. Communication was difficult as well because the staff I dealt with barely spoke English. I left feeling pressured and upset. I won't be coming back. read more

Couples massage was great. Asked for Deep tissue and that's exactly what we got. My masseuse used a lot of pressure and targeted all my hot spots of my back and shoulders. It also came with hot stones, which I enjoyed. I even fell asleep since I was so relaxed. This massage is affordable compared to other places, yet not so low in price that I'd question the quality. This is not a luxury spa though, so just know that before booking if you're used to an extremely high end place. read more

The place is very clean, but the massage was not good at all. I booked a woman, but as I was taken to my room I was told it would be a man. That was unexpected. I can't think of a single massage where the majority of it was done with the sheet covering the whole body. It seemed as though there was no intention, the movements were random, and it was more squeezing than massage. It reminded me of a massage you would get from someone with no experience. Also, I purchased through Groupon and the original price was listed as $105 when actuality, a 60-minute massage is $70...I basically paid full price...it comes across as quite deceiving. read more

Got a same day appointment while in town for a half marathon. I was 5 minutes late as I don't know the area and they were accommodating. When you book an appointment they text you so it was nice to have a way to let them know I was running late. They asked if I had a preference on the gender of the masseuse which was nice. $80 for a 1 hour deep tissue massage is a steal and far cheaper than what I would have gotten at home in Boston, definitely recommend. The masseuse kept asking if I was ok throughout the appointment which was nice. Facility was clean and quiet so had no problem relaxing. read more

The massage itself was terrible. Using one hand with the same motions a majority of the time. Came out more tense than I was walking in. Not to mention the masseuse's body kept touching mine. Inappropriate practice in my opinion. Also, I heard him pick up his phone, text on it and put it down. Wish I could ask for a refund, but I got it on Groupon. Only good thing is the placed looked clean but no calming aroma and the sheets felt bleached. read more

Poor service, unprofessional, inexperienced, and tardy. I had an appointment at 2:30pm and got there at 2:25pm. The host in front led me to the room and told me they'll be with me in 15 minutes. I stayed in the room until 2:55pm then walked out to the lobby asking them how much longer because I'm pressed for time, they said, "We can help you now." The lady I got was highly inexperienced or just simply just too tired (probably because she didn't rest from her previous client since they were running behind) to do her job. All she did was kept rubbing oil on my back every few minutes and I kept asking myself when she was going to actually start massaging. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed that I told stopped and told them not to continue... it was already late and honestly, the worst massage ever. read more

Just came from this place that I found through Groupon. Got a 60 minute Swedish massage with aromatherapy and hot stone. You can choose between the rose or lavender aroma, and let them know what pressure point you want. The masseuse was really good - Melinda(?) had the right pressure points. I would rank this as one of the better massages I've gotten, and I don't say that lightly. I thought the technique was really great and would definitely come back. read more

The massage technicians are very good and knowledgeable about different types of massage. The suites are very clean and well maintained. Me and my wife had the Couples treatment and loved it. Like I said, they did an excellent job and we highly recommend Essential Beauty & Spa! read more

My friends & I bought a Groupon for an amazing value, we got two couples massage & went in on the 4th. I can't speak to my friend's experiences but my therapist wasn't great at all!! His nails kept cutting me, he kept pulling instead of massaging & when he did my scalp massage it felt like he was scratch my head instead of massaging it. Also the room was freezing & we only had a sheet over us, they ended up taking the blanket off after they started. Won't be back but for $47 what do you expect. read more

I never leave reviews unless I really feel like I need to. Horrible service, gives other's appointments away, and doesn't even try to applogize. Do not come here if you want good service. read more

Marley is the best. I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage and she did it so well. She is very strong, thorough and almost all my pain has been alleviated. I'm bedridden most of the day due to. Health condition and Marley's massage gave me such relief. I think she can do Swedish and go softer but her strong deep tissue was amazing. Also the spa is clean and nicely appointed. I will definitely be back!! read more

Great place, would come here again. The ambiance was peaceful, the service was perfect, and I'm now relaxed. Definitely worth recommending to others. read more

Massage was good, but I didn't like that the therapist refused my tip and asked for more. Never had a place try to decide my tip for me, and it rubbed me the wrong way. read more

This was our first time at essential beauty, we found this gem on Groupon. The staff was very friendly, the ambiance was peaceful and it was nice and clean. We chose to do the couple massage and both masseuses did a great job! I specifically had Molly and she would check in often to make sure I was comfortable. I 10/10 recommend! read more

Been here with my husband 3 weeks ago and all went really well! I feel like the spa is just new, staff were so kind. The one who answered the phone named John was so helpful. And the massage was so really relaxing! Kudos to everyone! We will surely come back! read more

I called a day prior to inquire if they would honor a couples Groupon deal and they said they would. I was able to get a next day appointment, which was very nice. They are located in a plaza with other shops, so parking was easy. On the appointment day, it wasn't noted about the Groupon deal, so my masseuse had to call their manager who confirmed this. We did end up getting the deal, just took some time, and I wish they would have made note of this. The beds were clean and the ambiance was nice. Overall the couple's massage for my friend and I was good, but not something I would rave about. They didn't ask if we had any spots to focus on, so we got a full body massage. I should have spoken up as I wanted my neck and shoulders to be focused on... so that was my fault. My masseuse checked in to make sure the pressure was adequate and when I told her that I wanted more pressure, she seemed surprised and then proceeded by using her forearms instead of her hands. It just felt strange and I couldn't relax. I would go back if there was a deal again, but I would be hesitant otherwise. read more

Tried this place as a new place to Groupon, the people were very nice. It was very clean very relaxing. If you do have to wait they put you in massage chairs of massage your entire body. They were great went for the 90 minute massage got a lady called Tall Girl I forgot her real name. She was amazing. She left periodically to get a few different things. They came with the massage but never for a long time kept up with the whole massage for the whole 90 minutes. Well worth it. It was amazing experience and I recommended to anyone great place. read more
