My bestie and I decided we needed a spa day (especially facials) and we were on the hunt for some…read moreplace local. It's been years since I had been to Balance Day Spa, but I remembered they offered discounted seasonal special facials on weekdays. They still do! In addition to the facial, I booked a pedicure while my friend got a massage. The other thing I learned from a friend about Balance Day Spa is they now have a sauna/steam room that you can go enjoy for an hour before or after your appointments. I highly recommend taking advantage of these amenities if you have appointments. It really kicked up the value and relaxation. This area was deluxe. You are given a locker to put your belongings as well as a robe and slippers. They have bathrooms and changing areas. The steam room and saunas could benefit from operation instructions, but once we figured it out - boy it felt great. There is also an additional private sitting room with comfy recliners and a faux fireplace. Really gets you in the right head space before appointments. I started with my Classic Pedicure. My technician was nice but pretty quiet. After soaking in the basin, my nail's were trimmed and shaped, followed by cuticle care and callus removal. Followed by a solid foot and leg massage. She wrapped my feet in warm towels which felt great. Then she carefully added the purple polish I selected. It was a really pretty color. They had lots of color options - regular and shellac. Their nail room was on the smaller side, but could accommodate two people at once. You are seated in the traditional upright massage chair you get at most nail salons. But the room is at the front of the building so it gets a lot for street noise. The bright fluorescent lights are on full blast. There are these big front windows and they have no curtains. You feel a bit exposed (especially if you are in your robe) to be honest. Sadly, the relaxing and calming ambiance is currently very lost in this space. I only had a few minutes under the toe dryer before I was called for my facial. I would have preferred to do toes second so I didn't have to worry about potentially smudging them, but that wasn't how it was scheduled. Just had to leave my feet outside of the sheets and keep the toe separators in. The facial room was much more inviting. Nice blue tones and dim lighting. As part of my seasonal facial, I got to pick between two scrub scents. I went for the Harvest Apple variety that smelled amazing. We started with a consultation followed by the usual cleansing, steam, exfoliation, extractions, mask, serums, and moisturizer. The facial was overall very relaxing and my skin felt so much better afterward. The extractions were a bit painful compared to what I am used to. I was legit tearing up. I think she noticed this but didn't say anything and just cut this part short. The esthetician also did a little lip balm type treatment. A nice extra I don't think I've ever had during a facial. But hey lips need love too so I'm down. After she gently recommended a product to help with my dry skin. Checkout was a bit of a mess. My appointments got merged with my friends (as she booked for us both) and the receptionist struggled to separate. Seems they use an outside service for scheduling and it caused some problems. The system wouldn't allow us to pay for both of ours services on one transaction. So had to do multiple. This made checkout take longer than it should and was frustrating. Quick jolt back to reality, when I wanted to stay in my spa la la land! All in all a lot of positives here if you want a some treatments, but a few opportunities for improvement as well.

In the new year, my bestie and I are on a quest to find the next best place to get facials in…read moreGreensboro. We used to go all the way to Advance to be pampered by the best in the biz, but since her retirement, we've been looking for something a little closer to home. That's where Balance Day Spa hit the scene. They were particularly enticing due to their late hours during the week. After perusing their website, I called to schedule two services for my bestie and me as a belated birthday celebration. A pedicure and a facial for her, and a facial and a massage for me! My bestie and I arrived about 40 minutes prior to the scheduled start of our services. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the amenities, and we were eager to begin enjoying them. Balance Day Spa really brings it when it comes to providing everything you could need. They have lockers for your personal belongings, robes, and sandals in case you didn't bring your own. I appreciated that they use regular keys for their lockers rather than combination locks, which stresses me out. After we changed into our robes, we hit the steam room first. There were no formal instructions on how to use either the steam room or the sauna, but we eventually figured it out. We enjoyed about 15 minutes in both the steam room and the sauna. Then we drank some water and ate some mixed nuts as we waited to be called back for our services. They also offered complimentary coffee and tea. My first service was a facial with Jessica. Before we started, she asked questions about my typical skin-care routine and when I last had a facial. She also asked if I was okay with her performing extractions if needed, and I said yes. Before she started, I had to choose between a harvest apple or an amber scent for my service. I opted for the amber option. The facial was very relaxing with all the typical components of cleansing, exfoliating, applying a face mask, massaging, moisturizing, and applying a lip moisturizer at the end. The extraction process was particularly painful to the point of bringing me to tears. I think a mid-extraction check-in would have been nice, so I could have asked for a brief respite as she wiped away my tears. Alas, beauty is pain, as they say. At the end of the service, she recommended a product she thought could help reduce the redness on my face. She let me take a picture of it, and I appreciated that she wasn't particularly pushy about it. I began my massage service with Stephanie by completing an intake form to disclose any concerns and talk through any problem areas. Although I thought I had completed this in advance, it was only an intake form for the Esthetic service. Looking back at the ample texts I received before arriving, I only received one text with a link to complete an intake form, which could be why this was missed. I wanted a relaxing massage, and Stephanie utilized low to medium pressure to meet my expectations. A massage never feels long enough, but that's how I know it was a good massage. At the time of booking, I didn't realize that Balance Day Spa utilizes a call center to handle its scheduling. This became abundantly clear when it came time for us to check out at the end of our visit. For whatever reason, the way the call center booked the services caused the woman checking us out to run our cards twice, once for each service. This felt clunky and is a valid reason to bring scheduling in-house if it causes this awkwardness to be the last impression you leave on a customer. All in all, I was satisfied with my experience at Balance Day Spa. It felt very corporate, and I hope that the next stop on our facial tour has a more personal touch.

I have suffered from back and neck pain for most of my life. I get massages here and there, and…read morealways enjoy the heck out of them, but have never prioritized regular services. Well that has all changed with Kneaded Energy. I decided this was going to be the year I was gonna focus on self care and stop living with discomfort. This locally and family owned massage therapy business is near my house and had some amazing Black Friday deals including discounted rates for a yearly package of 10 one hour massages. I decided this was time to jump in. Their packages are great and extremely flexible. Your purchase can be put on file and you can redeem as you come for yourself as you wish. You can also give one as the gift of massage for someone else. You can split a massage up like taking one of the 60 minutes and turn into two 30 minute visits, or add with a 60 and make it a 90 minute instead for some extra relaxation. I've done this a few times and now I want a 90 minute yearly package next! I have been seeing Daniel monthly since November and am absolutely feeling an improvement. I have less tightness and knots in my neck and back that I always knew regular massage therapy would help. He is extremely polite and regularly checks in to make sure the pressure is right when working on a tough area ( I am not always the best about speaking up). When he works my back with his whole arm and elbows, it feels great. In addition to focusing on the areas that need the work, he always tries to also provide attention, even if brief, to the full body for some relaxation. It is without fail that when he does the head massage while I'm on my back, that I am falling asleep on that table. My brain is regularly in overdrive so having this monthly massage and allowing myself to just let go and relax and heal is worth every penny and more. The length of service you buy is what you will get, including change time. Their rooms are comfortable, with soft lights and music for ambiance as well as the optional heated bed. They will also add aromatherapy to the head cradle if you'd like, I always go eucalyptus. So, if you have been thinking about trying a new massage place and want to support local businesses like we all should, I highly suggest Kneaded Therapy for yourself or getting a gift certificate for someone you love. You deserve it.

I came in specifically requesting a deep pore cleansing facial - that was my one and only ask. My…read moreesthetician offered an upgrade for an additional $75, which I politely declined and said I'd consider it next time. After that, the experience went downhill fast. Out of a 50-minute session, maybe 1-2 minutes were actually spent on any kind of pore cleansing. The rest of the time was spent on everything else - none of which I asked for. When she handed me the mirror at the end, I was genuinely shocked. Nothing had been done. My face was just left extremely oily with zero visible results. I want to be clear - I'm not someone who doesn't know what a good facial looks like. I've been getting facials my whole life and I know exactly what proper skincare treatment feels and looks like. This was nowhere close. To make it worse, when I headed to the front desk, my esthetician didn't say goodbye, offer any aftercare tips, or even acknowledge me - she just walked away. And then the front desk staff directly asked me for a tip, which felt completely inappropriate given the experience I just had. The overall vibe of this place is not that of a spa - it feels like a business that's only focused on upselling and taking your money. There's no genuine care for the client or the service being provided. I left feeling like my service was intentionally neglected because I declined the upsell. Bottom line: this place might be okay for a massage, but I would not recommend it for any facial treatments. The skill, attention, and professionalism required for proper skincare just isn't here. Very disappointing - I won't be returning.

I finally did it, I finally tried out the sensory deprivation float tank. Honestly I had no idea…read morethat Greensboro would have this experience and thought I would have to travel to Charlotte or Raleigh. But to my surprise they are here. You will need to make your appointment online and if you have to cancell there is a 24 hour cancellation policy. Otherwise you will lose what you paid upfront for the appointment. I did arrive early so there was available street parking. I would give yourself time to find parking and walk if needed. Walking in, the space appeared to be clean and welcoming. There is also a juice bar in the front which very much compliments the health and wellness space. For my visit I decided to do the Float tank and not the Float pod. These tanks are filled will approx. 1000 pounds of Epsom salt (give or take) and would be similar to floating in the dead sea. The float tank and pod is completely soundproof and you have the option of complete darkness and quiet or soft dim lighting and gentle music. I found it a bit challenging for myself to be still for 60 minutes, I constantly wanted to change the lighting and volume of music and at one point I cut the lights all the way off and I can admit freaked just a little bit. (Haha). But I floated myself safely back to the light by the door opening, by way of my hands, and was able to open the door and turn the light back on. Whewww. It's just you and your thoughts which makes for a very unique experience that really shows how hard it can be to truly be still. The rooms provide a shower, body soap, shampoo and conditioner. You will want to shower before and after you use the tank. There are also private dressing areas where you can blow dry your hair and get ready if needed. (for float tank users only I do believe) Sonder Mind and body also has a Sauna and different variations of massage therapy to take advantage of. I do wish that their website had some more information. I also would like to see more packages. The only ones I could see were Float and Sauna or Float and massage. There is also an option for a membership which provides a bit of savings but if you want 1 float and 1 sauna a month it's $100. Would I do this again, maybe as a special treat. But to me I would much prefer a facial or massage. I am happy I tried it though! Anywho, I really encourage anyone that has ever wanted to try a float tank to at least try it once! Just treat yourself and go do it Ciao for now.
