For my birthday month, I decided to dedicate each Friday to a self-care/self-love activity. My…read morefirst stop was Pint of Peace, located in the Lynnhaven North shopping center. I was specifically intrigued by their beer baths, and after researching the benefits, I decided to try one. I initially attempted to book online, but while the site mentioned a 50% deposit, it required 100% payment upfront, so I called to finalize the reservation. I used a 20% discount since it was my first-time booking. I decided to schedule the Brewing Calm Immersion, my session included 20 minutes in the sauna, a 60-minute massage, and a 60-minute soak. When I arrived, the owner greeted me and showed me my bath soak options: Hops Brew, Barley Blend, or Chai soak. I decided to try the hops brew which was a blend of hops, brewers yeast, malt, oats and Epsom salt. I also chose Eucalyptus, my favorite aromatherapy, for the diffuser used during my bath. After that I selected my drink from a selection of beer, wine and non-alcoholic options, which was also served during my bath. After making all my selections, I was escorted to a private room where, I changed into the robe and slippers they provided. They also provide access to Lockers with keys for you to secure your valuables.   My Experience  Sauna- Before entering they gave me a cup of ice water. I love the fact that I had the ability to adjust the temperature and lighting. However I wished there was some music in the background because sitting in silence for 20 minutes felt very long. Massage- I found the massage relaxing; however, the Pressure was hit or miss and I also feel like certain areas were neglected like my feet and head. Beer bath/soak - My favorite part of the day.  They pre-steeped the brew so the ingredients were already activated. I was originally concerned that the bath water wasn't going to be warm enough but I had 100% control of the temperature. When you enter the room they already have music playing and I had the ability to change the genre if I wanted. They also provide you with 2 large ice cube for you to massage your face and cool you down if you get too hot. After they get you all set up they dim the lights which was the final step in setting the relaxing mood. The Soaking tub was huge and I was just sinking into it. Loved, loved, loved it! Overall I truly enjoyed my time spent & experience at Pint and Peace. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a day of pampering and I am looking forward to returning for another soak. This was a great kick off to my birthday month of self-care.

I received a gift card for my birthday and my best friend came to visit, so I thought why not use…read moremy gift card and have a spa day with my bestie! We did the sauna treatment, 60 minute massage, and bath and it was AMAZING! When we arrived, we got to choose our bath treatment - there were 3 options. Since I've never had a beer bath, that was what I chose. We also got the option of tea, wine, beer, or water for our bath. We also got to choose an essential oil for the diffuser during our bath. After making our choices, we changed into robes and went into the sauna. From there, we got 60 minute massages, and mine was AMAZING! I asked for firm pressure, and that's exactly what I got! After our massages, it was bath time. It was really neat because the treatment is actually in a bag that you put into the tub. It isn't beer but the dry ingredients that go into beer I'm guessing. I loved that they cut off the big lights and there's the option of a small switch light. There is also meditation music and the diffuser that adds to the relaxation. They also give you 2 big ice cubes to use on your face, neck, or just to simply cool the water if needed. I used on my face, and it felt SO good. I like that we had our baths in separate rooms but were able to move the sliding divider in the wall if we wanted so that we could still talk to each other! This was a 2 hour experience and I would definitely do it again. It was the perfect way to relax with a friend or take some time to yourself for a little self care!

When I reserved, there was the option to select a gender preference which I appreciated. I selected female and was notified that Helen was assigned to me, but after they put me in the room and I got ready a male came in. I thought maybe he was just going to set things up but he ended up doing the whole massage. I'm okay with getting a massage from a male, but the fact that I requested and was expecting a female only to get a male made me quite uncomfortable.

She's truly gifted at finding and relieving all the tight spots in my neck and back.

But that's where the good experience ended. I noted I wanted firm pressure on my intake form and confirmed with the masseuse that's what I wanted for my sports massage. I am no stranger to massages. I asked her to focus on my neck, upper traps, and lower back/SI joint. She spent more than half the hour on my arms and legs. The pressure was all over the place. Weird hand motions and more therapeutic feeling. Then she drilled hard onto my IT bands and calves. They were sore for a few days after. I was expecting similar pressure in the areas I asked. But nothing. No pressure or trigger point work AT ALL. By the time I thought to ask for more pressure (because she never asked if the pressure was ok), the massage was over. I was really frustrated because I was really needing some relief on my neck and traps. I paid and tipped but also let the receptionist know I was really let down. She said she would let the manager know. I then left a note via the survey link they sent out with the same feedback. I heard nothing back. So a few days later I called and spoke with the manager. She said they appreciated the feedback and that her or the owner would call me back within a day or two to discuss the best way to rectify the situation. I still haven't heard anything so I don't think I'll be back. Disappointing when you look to a service to provide relief from chronic pain.

I had been having a lot of consistent pain in my shoulder blades and ribs and she spent a lot of time working those areas. The building/space it self is a bit basic and older/no frills. If you're wanting a fancy spa, this isn't it, but if you're okay with some outdated things, but still getting high quality massage for a good price, this place is it. Can't speak to all the staff, but again very pleased with Tracy.

How is this woman still open?! She had great reviews on Groupon. My friend got us two 75 minute…read moremassages and facials. She was extremely flaky the entire time trying to book! It took us a month and a half to get an appt and she said she can only do one person at a time, so clearly she has no employees. She then texts us one hour before the appt and says she has an emergency. She asks us if we want to reschedule for 2 hours later than our original time (kind of weird if you just had an emergency but okay) then says, unless you want to do another day. Well considering we had to wait a month and a half we were going to take the next available time, 2 hours later. She texts us AGAIN to cancel right before the appt. I can't believe she had good reviews on Groupon. After looking on here and other places now I know. Beware!!! She's a scam! Edit: just noticed she told another negative reviewer this is "not her character" and she had a migraine. Actually, apparently it is because I've been reading other people say the same thing! Also, you have 2 yelp accounts...convenient that this one has more positive ones. Sounds like you tried to start a new one. Second edit because I can't respond to Amanda's response to my review. Attached is her excuse. Amanda I'm sorry if you're telling the truth and I hope all is well with your friend but unfortunately you cannot be believed. You have MULTIPLE bad reviews with people saying you came up with excuses to cancel. Sorry, but it is what is it. Do better!

My wife and I try to go about every other week. Getting ready to go again today…read more Yes you pay in advance, I have found most places do that, kinda like getting fuel. The last deep tissue I received was amazing, don't get me wrong the ones before it were great too, but this particular young lady was using he elbows feet and knees to really work the back. My bad shoulder she took extra attention too as well, I always bring cash to tip, really who wouldn't rather have cash. And to avoid the credit card run fee, which all businesses charges you for one way or another , I'll pay in cash. But so far the best thing is I can call them and will be able to get a massage within the hour, instead of trying to make an appointment for days or weeks away, which never works with my schedule.

I recently booked the Spa Package (90 minutes), and overall I had a very positive experience…read more The front of the business is fairly simple, but once you're taken to the back, the atmosphere becomes much more relaxing. The room was quiet, comfortable, and set the right mood to unwind. I'll be honest--when the massage first started, I wasn't sure what to expect. The therapist began with a lot of muscle and joint movement, and I was thinking, "I really hope this isn't the whole massage." Thankfully, after a little while she got to work, and wow--she absolutely delivered. She found areas of tension I didn't even realize I had and put in some serious effort. By the end, I felt significantly better than when I walked in. Easily one of the better massages I've had. I wish I had caught her name so I could specifically request her next time. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 has more to do with communication and accommodations than the massage itself. There was a bit of a language barrier, and I wasn't really given any instructions when I got into the room. As someone who has had massages before, I figured it out, but if this had been my very first massage, I probably would have been standing there wondering what I was supposed to do. A simple sign on the back of the door with instructions like, "Undress to your comfort level, lie face down on the table, and cover yourself with the sheet" would go a long way for first-time clients. The other issue was the table size. I'm 6'4", and the tables don't seem to be designed for someone my height. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but taller clients may find them a little small. Overall, the quality of the massage itself was excellent and is the main reason I'll be back. With a little improvement in communication and accommodations for larger clients, this would easily be a 5-star experience for me. I'll definitely be giving them another shot soon.

When I first walked in I was a little skeptical due to the modest entry/waiting room. However once I walked to the back where the magic happens my skepticism left. The atmosphere was peaceful, with dim lighting and soft music. They have multiple beds separated by a curtain which is perfect for solo, group or couple outings. I opted for the 60-minute reflexology session ($45), which included a 15-minute neck and shoulder massage, followed by a 45-minute foot massage.  My appointment started with a basic foot soak. During the foot soak I received the neck and shoulder massage, which felt absolutely delightful.  After the foot soak, I moved to the chair that fully reclines into a bed. Once on the chair they continue with the shoulder and arm massage before moving to my feet. The foot massage was like Heaven or what I imagine heaven to be like. The pressure was perfect throughout the entire session. I left feeling relaxed and completely rejuvenated--it felt like having a new pair of legs. I plan to incorporate this into my life at least twice a month moving forward.  If you are looking for a great reflexology spot, Joy Feet is a 10/10. Your feet will appreciate it!
