I typically receive private athletic massages from a certified athletic trainer at a private university, but two Christmases ago, I received a gift card to Hand and Stone. I wasn't sure what the amount on the gift card was, so when I visited the Durham location off MLK in December 2025, I was told it was worth $150, which covered two 50-minute massages. Great, I thought. Fast forward to February, when I looked to make another massage appointment. I called on Wednesday, Feb. 18, to confirm the card's value, and I was told it would cover an entire 50-minute massage. I also visited in person to make the appointment on Thursday, Feb. 19, and was told there was $50 remaining on the gift card, which would cover another 50-minute massage. On that day, a woman in a hijab made the next appointment for Sunday, Feb. 22, and I was not required to make any additional payments. I later found out I could not make the appointment and decided to transfer the experience to my sister. I returned to the location on Saturday, Feb. 21, around 1:35 p.m. to make the change. When I asked to make the change, the $50 remaining balance was brought up again. I politely explained what I had been told and that I was already booked for 50 minutes with no additional fees. Once again, I was working with the woman in the hijab. She went back to speak with her manager. Upon her return, she told me the gift card did not cover another massage and blamed the misinformation on another coworker, Sam. I asked what it covered, and she said nothing. I asked how much I needed to pay for a full massage; she stated it would be $79. Despite my hesitation, given that the previous massage cost $100, I paid so my sister would have the best experience. But the most scathing and inappropriate aspect of the experience was the laughter by the other employees upon my exit, exhibited by the woman in the hijab, the manager, another desk receptionist (both white), and a checkout receptionist (Black). As a marketing, communications, and brand executive who understands the importance of a company's frontline actions, this was an extremely frustrating and disturbing interaction.

Very nice spa! Learned about them from a benefits fair at work, and they offered 1/2 off for my…read morefirst appointment! I had a customized organic facial. It was very relaxing and everything smelled amazing. A few things differed from some other facials I've had at other spas in the past (not necessarily good/bad...just wanted to mention it). 1. There wasn't a strapless towel top to wear, but I still felt comfortable because I was under the sheet just like a massage. 2. They didn't pull my hair back in a towel or a headband, so I felt like it got in the way a few times. They did recommend products after, and I did buy one facial cleanser which had been nice so far. I always feel awkward at spas when they offer products. I didn't feel anyone was pushy, but I always feel obligated to buy something. I don't regularly treat myself to facials or massages, but next time I do I will visit this location!

Great massage in a clean and cozy environment. I heard about Flawless Day Spa via Groupon, and…read morefound a wonderful deal (~$30-40 for a 60 minute I Deserve It All massage). For the amount I paid, I was very pleased. However, do note that the 60 minutes actually includes the time spent leading you to the room, talking to you for a few minutes, and letting you undress and dress; it is not a full 60 minutes. The massage therapist was professional and effective, and would ask appropriately for feedback regarding the amount of pressure she was applying. I would come back again, although it is a bit pricey to pay full price. They do have massage packages that they allow you to split with others though, so I might try to do that instead. Also, note that this building is a little difficult to identify because there is no obvious signage. Follow Google Maps, and turn into a small parking lot next to a nondescript building, and that's it. When you walk closer to the entrance, you'll see their sign.

I really enjoyed the home spa, it was clean, warm and inviting. Shoshanna, she was...superb. I get body work around the world and she was world class. I found out she's a very experienced body work and teacher, so, in addition to my Ayurvedic Warm Oil Massage, I decided to do the Ayurvedic Health & Lifestyle Consult. It's been a month since I've been there and consultation and guidance she's given me has lowered my blood pressure and I've been able to lose some extra pounds effortlessly. (Thank you!) The second day I did Shirodhara Therapy and the streaming of warm oil over the forehead for deep relaxation melted away my mental stress. I actually got another treatment because I was too blissed out to drive right away, lol, and fortunately for me she got a last minute cancellation. This last treatment I did the Restorative Hot Stone Therapy with warm stones and the oil was tremendous and supported further relaxation of my nervous system, which I didn't even think was possible. My favorite thing about the Hot Stone treatment was how relieved my joint pain from my rheumatoid arthritis and my muscular pain from sitting and driving for a few days in a row. I may drive to Chapel Hill now and then just for Shoshanna's relief! I highly recommend any of these luxurious treatments.
