I've had many types of massages for the last 45 plus years, this one was in the top three. I then had a complimentary introduction to a facial with Karen. Every detail was explained, product, effects, ingredients, etc., again, WOW! Studio was squeaky clean, inviting, comfortable, and thankfully sooooo quiet, only the light/soft sounds of very soothing spa music/sounds piped in at the perfect volume. Lighting dimmed to absolute perfection. Yelp only allows 5 stars, these folks exceeded that. I'll be returning hopefully monthly with my other half so we can have a relaxing spa day, or half day, together. If you go to RELAX!, you will NOT be disappointed.

This is one of the spas in town that actually feels like a spa. The atmosphere is so peaceful with darkened hallways and beautiful lighting. If you are having multiple services done then they have a room to slip on your robe and lock your items in a locker. I have gotten several massages since COVID started and I will say that this spa takes the highest precautions. I actually was disappointed that the tea wasn't served due to this, but I am sure when the pandemic is over it will be back. The serenity oil blend is fantastic and made by a lovely woman named Stacey. I had a massage and a facial today and enjoyed both very much. There is also a retail store in the lobby that sells many great products like Jurlique, Aveda, etc.

Worst massage I have ever had and only not positive massage review I have written outside of one…read moremassage envy which was charging me membership fees illegally after canceling multiple times and kept doing it despite interventions... you get the point. I think some of this could be related to the particular massage therapist but some not. It is a really beautiful spa the nicest I have been to in Wilmington but it smelled so stale, the beds were moist and did not seem clean and it was COLD and the bed was not heated. Also, it is on you who they hire. My preference is to have a female therapist and to be fair I really should have specified this when making the appointment or even asked but I didn't do that's on me. Admittedly I have had so many massages in my life if I had to guess upwards of 100 in my 30 years of life. Many of the times the nicer spas will ask your preference of a male or female or you make the appointment online. For example another spa in Wilmington I was looking to make an appointment and they asked if it was okay if it was a man and I said I would just rather not. However I have had a few massages my a male therapist and typically it's uncomfortable for me for the first few minutes or so and then it doesn't matter at all because you are relaxed and I'm over it. This was not my experience at all. It was as gen z would say "a vibe". He would NOT stop talking during the massage itself. That is my absolute pet peeve. There are only two maybe three massages I have had where they talk during the massage outside of asking if the pressure is okay in the first few minutes. It should be that you are so relaxed that you can't respond. He asked unnecessary questions like "How long have you been having headaches?" "Are you cold, you seem very cold to the touch and laughs..." while massaging my clavicle like that's not even a question. Asking how it's going every few minutes is just terrible. He also did this neck stretch that to be fair he asked if it was okay but it literally pulled some kind of muscle in my neck on the right side. Massages can cause some pain afterwards but this is different. No business doing a stretch like that forcing your neck forward especially when my only complaint was chronic migraines. Also, he massaged my inner thighs with light pressure. I have only had one other massage in my life that did that but it was by a girl to be fair but it felt more intentional. Also, I had scheduled a deep tissue massage and it 100% was not that. It was a Swedish massage with all those standard techniques. Also, the massage I scheduled was supposed to be lavender. We did aromatherapy at the beginning and end and it was in the oil. I love lavender. I have had all different brands of lavender essential oil and lavender scented all kinds of stuff, this did not smell like lavender at all. I told the lady at the front desk that and she said it was and that's totally fine maybe it was a different type of lavender or some kind of mix. I almost suspect some kind of CBD oil but that's me being overly paranoid at this point just because it smelled a little like that but I did not ask for that and did not want that at all. In conclusion. I really recommend other spas/massage places. I've been to 5 other ones in Wilmington and all were better experiences than this I just went here because I had a gift card. Save your money and go somewhere else.

My husband gave me a body wrap, massage, and facial gift card for valentines day this year. I went…read morein for the body wrap and massage on Saturday. The body wrap wasn't really for me. I've received many body wraps before and they are warm and relaxing. Your covered in a nutrient rich mask after exfoliated,and wrapped up in a cocoon of blankets and heat blankets. Then you get a face and scalp massage for an hour. When your unwrapped you know all of the fluid surrounding you is yours. At prima you are wrapped in bandaged soaked in fluids and bags on your hands and feet. Then you go on an elliptical machine for an hour and every 15 minutes your bags are emptied and your re-soaked with minerals. So, you know the amount of fluid from the bandages and your own sweat cannot be distinguished. I was cold and the whole time, and was trying working really hard on the elliptical to stay warm. But the elliptical is called a gazelle and has zero resistance. So being wrapped head to toe in bandages really tight, plastic bags on your hands and feet, and riding an elliptical with no resistance is just a disaster waiting to happen. The woman wrapping me was very nice! The woman at the front desk was very nice as well. She seemed to have a lot more knowledge about the products than the woman giving the wrap. The massage was amazing! I cant remember the name of the guy giving it,but he asked a lot of questions about pressures and was professional. I'm looking forward to getting my facial soon!
