I'm new to the area and it was time for me to find a new aestathician. A co-worker recommended this place to me. When you drive up you'll be skeptical but go inside! It's gorgeous. Michelle did my services and she was awesome. Very detailed. She didn't leave the room while I got undressed which I thought was a little weird at first. Then I realized that she's going to see it all anyway lol. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have had many different spa/massage treatments at Sanctuary Spa over the years. It's a wonderful setting, rooms are clean and quiet, staff is professional. read more

I feel like I was at the wrong place after reading the other reviews here. I have had Brazilian waxes regularly for a few years now, and at a few different cities. My results at sanctuary spa were unacceptable. 1 hour after my appointment I notice only 50% of my hair was actually removed. The rest was just broken and not even at the skin. It was all stubble, evenly dispersed across the area - my husband is more smooth 1 day after shaving his face. It grew in within a week. The worst part - I've only had a couple of in-grown hairs in the past, and nothing painful. When this grew back I had nothing but in-grown hairs - and painful. I waited 2 months before trying to wax again just to let it grow out... and the in-growns continue It's hard to find a good place for this service that isn't charging you a ridiculous amount - but I'll pay a premium and avoid Sanctuary read more

Eh, mediocre at best. massage was not worth the money. Got a couples spa/massage package with the wife. About 200$ which includes tip. So not a bad deal but will continue searching for a good massage on the area. read more

My experience mirrors that of Jill in terms of the facility and how I was treated when I arrived. As a male, I wondered if I'd be treated or seen any differently than the typical female clientele that spas/salons are stereotypically known for seeing. I am happy to report that I wasn't. It was based on Jill's comments about this place doing male Brazilians as well as a recommendation from someone on a forum I'm on that I scheduled an appointment for my very first waxing ever - a Brazilian and my back. I've been keeping my lower area trimmed for years, and the back/crack as hairless as possible, but the logistics of having to deal with that every other day or so made waxing an attractive alternative. It used to be hard to find a place in the Wilmington area that does males, but now there are several. I won't rehash what Jill put in her review, but I will say that Marie, the woman who does the male Brazilians was very nice and had a great sense of humor and a great personality. To me, when someone's tearing the hair out of your sack, this is critical! I unknowingly would have asked her to do my back first and then work her way down to the, uh, more sensitive areas, but she suggested we start with the "tough parts" and work our way up. In hindsight, I fully agreed with that. The whole process took about an hour and was nowhere near as painful as I'd thought it might be. The end result makes me wish I'd been doing this for years. Marie did tell me that they do several male Brazilians each week and that it is almost as popular as back waxes. The prices were reasonable for the service ($65 for the Brazilian & $45 for the back). Anyway, once the hair starts growing back, I'll definitely be going back to see Marie. read more

I live in Center city Philadelphia and found this place by word of mouth. In the city there are a TON of places to get a brazilian bikini wax, however, this place is worth the commute!! I only go to Marie, she is fast, efficient and has a wonderful "bedside"manner. She is truly amazing at doing this less than thrilling procedure. The spa is also wonderful, the sell great products without being pushy!! I looked and smelled everything from lipsticks to bodyscrubs.. Marie keeps me coming back though.. read more

I went there last Tuesday Aug. 6th, for a spray tan and it was fantastic! One week later and my tan still looks great ! It was a pleasure to be in a relaxing spa environment. I was given a warm towel to rinse off and then a primer to apply before she sprayed me. I highly recommend it and will definitely be going back. Thank you !! read more

My husband gave me a gift card for a spa pedicure to this spa and what a great gift it was. Christina did my pedicure and she is the best. Can't wait to go back!! I highly recommend the spa and I highly recommend Christina. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem! The staff is very friendly and the service is great. I had Pat for a massage and Janet for a facial, both were phenomenal! This is a great spa for either a quick pick-me-up service or a whole spa day-with reasonable prices. read more

This is a great full service salon and spa that gives awesome massages! I visited the spa for the second time last month and I received a therapeutic massage. It was exactly what I needed. It was relaxing and calming. My therapist was able to get all the tension out of my upper back and shoulder area. The manager is very nice and went out of her way to accommodate my every need. That is something I greatly appreciate and I will certainly be back. Go to the Sanctuary Spa...you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

I had an amazing day at Sanctuary Spa. I received the "diva package" as a gift from my husband, and everyone was SO nice and went out of their way to make sure I was relaxed and enjoying myself. They ordered lunch and I always had a mimosa in my hand. I definitely recommend this lovely spa for massages and mani pedis! read more

Clean, excellent customer service. Only place I trust for my Brazilian wax. They are always on time and you are in and out.

Great service! I booked four treatments and Marie was the bomb! I will definitely be back.

I decided to treat myself to a Swedish massage and a ritual bath add on service. I 100% recommend this spa! I can't wait to try out other services in the future! The decor was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. First came the bath which was in a luxurious jetted tub filled with essential oils and salts. They had sitting along the tub some cookies and chocolates to enjoy with a glass of water. The tub was enclosed with beautiful curtains and a painting of a night sky on the ceiling above. I seriously didn't want to get out of the tub when my time in it was over! The massage was fantastic! It included a warm pillow and an eye mask for part of the time which was nice and unexpected. The therapist asked about pressure and readjusted accordingly. The entire service was great! I really can't wait to try something new next time! read more

Reasonable price, great staff, quality products, and convenient location! It doesn't get any better. I really appreciate their use of the hard (blue) wax, as it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I can actually run errands after getting my eyebrows done without my skin being a bright pink or my bikini area being sensitive. Been a few times for waxes and will definitely be going back for facials. read more

---------------------------------------------------------- Love Sanctuary!! I'm picky-like ocd picky when it comes Brazilian waxes. I tried different spas/waxing centers all around the area (7 to be exact)... Some were just all-around bad; others were "okay" but seemed to be rushing which made it hurt more as they were pulling huge strips rather than a few smaller. Most also missed noticeable hair. Then I tried Sanctuary about a year ago and finally the search was over! Its gorgeous inside (despite the outside appearance) and I felt so comfortable the entire time. The lady @ the desk offered me a beverage and took me to the lounge to wait for my waxer. Within mins I was greeted by Trisha- one of the estheticians there, and the one Ive scheduled with since that day. She did an Awesome job! Very thorough, and by far the most comfortable brazilian I have ever had. Shes so easy to talk to and actually took her time to make sure I was satisfied with the service-- Which has NEVER happened previously. Shes one of the few in this industry ive found thats truly passionate about what she does; and cares about us clients being satisfied with their services. Since then Ive had a few facials which were also fabulous. I highly recommend anyone looking for a truly professional and friendly establishment to stop searching and call sanctuary asap! You WONT be disappointed :). read more

Wonderful spa treatment! I had one of the best facials I've ever had. I highly recommend!!!

I moved here recently and have been looking for a good spa for waxing. I got a good vibe after reading the reviews and I was right. Tina was great. She has the perfect balance of chatting while waxing, which made the experience easy and relatively painless. Highly recommend! read more

Warm inviting place! Eva did my facial and I loved the hand/foot/neck massages I got as well. Love the variety of services they provide and I look forward to going there again. Hidden gem indeed! read more

Just had an appointment yesterday to get a Brazilian wax and it was awesome! The ladies were so friendly at Sanctuary Spa! It is a place were I could really relax! I saw Tina and she was wonderful! It was not painful! I will be going back! Love the place! I read the posts and agree with the ladies......it is a hidden gem! read more

I am so happy I found Sanctuary Spa online! When I arrived outside the business, I almost didn't go in. You cannot judge the outside. When you go in, it's very welcoming and bright. They take you to a relaxing waiting room until your specialist is ready. I've gotten a few Brazilian waxes here as well as leg waxes. The rooms are very clean and the staff is friendly. I've had the Brazilian from JoAnne and Eva. Each experience was as pain free as can be. I am sad to be moving out of the area. Places like these are hard to find! read more

Eva is an absolute goddess. My eyebrows look downright spectacular every time I go to her for a wax! Had a much worse experience with another woman who applied the wax to my entire eyebrow at once and ripped it off at once... practically waxing blind...and it looked that way. Needless to say- stick with Eva. She is spectacular! The waxing table is heated and covered in a cozy soft blanket, with relaxing music playing, its the best waxing experience around! read more

I recently went to Sanctuary for what is usually a rather uncomfortable procedure-a brazilian bikini wax. Up until my trip to Sanctuary, I did not believe that anyone could make this service enjoyable. Since seeing Vicki, I have been proven quite wrong. Many aestheticians claim to be exceptional at what they do, but Vicki has qualities that others lack, making her truly a cut above the rest. Not only does she treat you like a close friend or family member, but she also makes sure that she gives you your money's worth. I have been to spas where the aesthetician is good at waxing, but doesn't take as much time to be as thorough as Vicki does. The service takes a little longer with Vicki but, when you leave, you'll know you look good because she makes sure you're perfect before you leave her room. On top of all of this, she makes you feel like she's someone you can talk to. I've been waxed and just laid there until the service was over, and now I've been waxed by someone who I feel I can catch up on my life with, like a girlfriend. When comparing the two, there's no doubt in my mind that I'd rather go see Vicki than somebody else any day. She makes what is usually uncomfortable very enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to get this service done, or any other services for that matter. I can tell she puts love and care into what she does-she has a new regular customer in me! read more
