where do I begin!? my birthday spa day experience was everything that I could've hoped for. 5 years…read morecoming. 5 hours of service. 55th Birthday loading. my universe aligned for this very moment. started with a massage by Dain. those arm and leg pulls were everything! I have a neck sensitivity and he had me so relaxed that I didn't flinch once! he even massaged my ears! that was a pleasant surprise. I would've expected that during the facial, if at all. massage was followed by a facial by Markiah. she throughly cleansed my face and offered some products to use for my skin type. then she massaged, moisturized, and gave my hands a heat treatment. that was yet another unexpected surprise. after each service i was greeted with some water by my attendants waiting outside the rooms. everything was so clean and organized. Ciara had set aside an hour for me to enjoy lunch. I requested sushi (my favorite). it was ordered and delivered to the spa. Ciara set me up comfortably in the serenity room. I enjoyed my meal in a peaceful environment while reading and reflecting. after lunch I had a manicure and pedicure by Nila. she song happy birthday to me in Phillipino and gave me her Nutty Buddy ice cream cone to enjoy during my pedicure. it was a very nostalgic moment for me. growing up in the 70s, eating one of my memorable childhood treats. the salt scrub, paraffin wax, and hot towels added to the experience. the restrooms were clean. the locker room was very inviting. offering showers, toiletries, robes, and slides/shoes. like real shoes! lol. I didn't explore the whole facility but saw various products display areas. I mostly floated from room to room. lol. and at the end of my services. (I could've hung out til closing. they have blankets and pillows on the couches in the serenity room.) Ciara gave me a gift bag (I can't wait to open it). it made me realize the importance of taking the time for self care and I plan to make a spa visit part of a monthly ritual. the facility is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and inviting. if I was to have one "con" it would be the inner rooms decor. its basically bed or chair and service supplies. some plants, stones, or something of that nature would've definitely added to the inviting environment. but thats something very slight as 99% of the times your eyes are closed!!! lol. Please treat yourself and visit SDS. tell them Tabitha's review sent you there! ENJOY!!! #GodIS

This place was recommended to me and oh my goodness, ITS AMAZING. First of all, this is - no exaggeration - the best massage I've ever had. I also added extraction to my facial and it was the best extraction I've ever had. Yes it was a bit painful, but that's how you know it's a good session! The best part - Everything was in one room, on one bed. I was able to get a facial and massage and not move. That sounds silly, but getting dressed and moving room to room is always a bummer, and not having to do that is like... the best thing ever. HIGHLY recommended!!

A poor job on the 'nethers' are common and have painful side effects) My regular go-to person is 2 hours away, so finding a new person up here is a god-send. She's totally soft handed. The wax was vegan and she used a hard wax. I will say I've had others use a hard wax before and I was NOT impressed. Not the case for Lindsay at Body in Knead. What you want to know: *NOT a mortifying "get on all fours and spread 'em" aestician. THANK YOU *Quick and detailed. 20-25 minute max. *Wax- hard and VEGAN *She is soft handed not rough and rip'em *She does a quick wipe clean of you before and after *Skin was soft and no residue when done. *Hardly noticed any swelling (which is rare for me) *No ingrowns yet and its been 4 weeks. Yelp: Listen, No one wants to see photos of this, so stop asking. K. Thanks.

This was the first time I've ever gotten a facial. I was a little nervous not knowing what to expect. But as soon as I walked into her space I felt comfortable and welcomed. Aquene did an amazing job. I will definitely be coming back to see her again soon! I could tell that Aquene really enjoys what she does.

Today I went in for the first time. I've heard wonderful things through word of mouth from…read moredifferent friends. I decided to book an appointment to color with Kimi S. She was very kind and the environment was relaxed. I showed her pictures of what I wanted (I had 3 different color schemes/styles to show her) and I basically trusted her to use her judgement and do what she thought was best. I'm not hard to please but I want quality work. The other stylists were funny and nice. I enjoyed the overall environment of the salon. Kimi took her time while coloring, it was a detailed and delicate process. I really appreciated her attention to detail (especially once I saw it dry). I have been going to super cuts since I moved to Maine and it's been okay, but hardly what I wanted. When Kimi cut my hair it was as if she fixed anything that was ever wrong with it. Not to put down the people I have been to before, but Kimi really paid attention and took her time. The finished product is beautiful! We decided to keep it warm and I can come back to lighten it as I wish. I honestly have not had better results with my hair before and I'm extremely happy with her work. The mix of colors and dimensions are perfect! :) I'm definitely going back to Kimi!

Spent three months travelling throughout Maine and although there was only three CVS pharmacies in…read morethe entire state, I was both surprised and relieved that there were actually more Aveda Salons and this one 45 minutes from where we were staying. I was doubtful that they would agree to respond to an internet inquiry as I wouldn't be a repeat customer but was pleasantly surprised when not only they responded but put with one of their most senior stylist as I was sure I'd be put with a newbie. I understand everyone has to start somewhere but I had a sudden health crisis a year ago that resulted in major hair loss. I was subsequently deeply concerned about a neophyte coloring and trimming my hair. I emailed them my regular stylist's "recipe" and Naomi was an absolute master at her craft. She did an incredible job and was very much a subject matter expert as to what I could do to protect my hair that was coming back in and asses how much new growth I had given it was all uneven. I am strictly team Aveda for years and years but often the sacrifice is the personality of the stylist and although I'm fine with silence, Naomi was the absolute coolest and a complete delight. Do hair and your psyche a favor and schedule an appointment with Naomi, you're worth it and so is the experience.

The atmosphere is top notch, they're VERY cleanly, and extremely detailed consultation. I've had Brylee a couple of times and she is such a sweetheart and very accommodating.

No problem booking here, and when I had an error they got back with me quickly and rearranged our original time to ensure we got our 90 minutes as expected.

I arrived with a slight headache that was gone by the time we left--and my husband barely stayed awake for most of his massage because he was so relaxed!
