This place is absolutely stunning.Full disclosure, I came to merely support my friend who owns the place. I have two spa memberships at home in Philly, but I was down for a bonus massage.On the day of my visit, I was having some neck and shoulder issues, so I booked the longest massage with cupping and deep tissue. Let me tell you, I have never had a massage like I had in my life. Sir gathered me up “real good” and set me straight. It wasn’t just a rubdown, rather it was intense bodywork with breath work. Apparently, I don’t breathe deep enough. Who knew? I left out of The NOW on a massage high.This place isn’t your regular degular massage place. The concept is so cool! You are there to get your mind and body right. It’s for anyone who needs to release bodily stress and wants to focus inward for 60 to 80 minutes. We all deserve it.
My experience was absolutely phenomenal! It felt like a blissful beachside massage. The massage therapist was incredibly attentive and provided the perfect massage tailored to my needs, rather than just following my initial requests. I couldnt have asked for a better service—it was truly exceptional!
I had the most amazing experience with Terri. Her calm demeanor and kindness flowed through her hands and permeated the atmosphere. Her gift is incredible because this is exactly what she is. A true gift! Also the ambiance was top notch. I will absolutely recommend this establishment. I didn’t want it to end! Everyone there was exceptional and made me feel right at home. My body hasn’t felt this relaxed and tension free in way too long. I’ll definitely be back!
The spa esthetics were gorgeous and serene. The customer service was excellent. I appreciated that my masseuse gave me pointers to loosen the tense muscles in my neck and shoulders, however I did not enjoy my massage. I got the signature massage which from the description is supposed to be similar to a Swedish massage, however I didn’t find it relaxing & at times I felt nothing at all and the times where I felt myself beginning to relax she would use her hands and shake parts of my body which jolted me ( this is the best way I can think to describe it). It’s disappointing but I won’t count themout yet. I will consider going back and trying a different masseuse.
I was looking for a new massage place online and gave NOW massage a try. I had my first massage and it was amazing. The place is well decorated for a relaxing experience from candle in the bathroom to the beach wave sounds that calms my nerves. My therapist was also very professional. The price is very reasonable and it seems like I will be coming back for more massages. I already booked another one next week.
Had such a wonderful experience! Front desk service was impeccable, and super welcoming. The calm sensation begins the moment you walk through the front door. Had such a great massage and cant wait to be back next month for my monthly self care treat! So happy I stumbled upon this establishment!
This place is amazing. The feel of the whole place is just the best. The sound of waves, the dim lights and the beds are all just perfection. Kanat is the most amazing massage therapist I have ever had. “Deep tissue” massage in the past has nothing on his deep tissue. I had a debilitating knot in my shoulder and he has helped me more than words can even describe!!!
I exhaled the minute I walked in the door. The place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Everything about it from the calming, neutral color palette to the beach inspired furnishings to the yummiest, most fragrant candles (I had to get one for my home) made me feel like I was away on vacation. I’ve already made appointment to go back again for another relaxing massage. And I thought the prices were quite reasonable especially given the 5 star atmosphere.
The NOW is awesome! The staff is super friendly the minute you walk in the door. My massage was on time and my massage therapist Terri was attentive, asked questions, and helped my back feel so much better. I highly recommend this beautiful, modern, and calming space!
Beautiful space, amazing interior design, friendly staff, and most importantly - thoughtful great massages. My massage therapist was attentive, asked questions, and helped my body relax into exactly what was needed. Highly recommend this space.
Had an absolutely horrible massage where the therapist was dangerously close to massaging inappropriately. Contacted The Now via email, and while the response took a few days, the owner was very understanding and took appropriate steps to make sure this wouldnt happen again. Hence, the 3 stars rather than one.Do not get a massage from Bakari.
Truly a great experience! Easy to book online. Love the ambiance & the sound of the ocean. Massage was delightful, relaxing & much needed. I will return next month!
I had an amazing spa experience. The massage therapist went the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. The esthetics and decor was sooooooo relaxing!! Kudos!! Thanks for coming to Bethesda!!!
I had a fabulous experience at the beautiful new The NOW Massage Bethesda! The massage was wonderful, and I also took home a lovely candle and eye masks. I look forward to returning!
Just had a wonderful massage from Sade. One of the best that I have ever had. My only regret is that I did not schedule a longer session. Will definitely be back on a regular basis. Ask for Sade! The best!
Love it…very calm environment…great massage! My therapist was patient and listened to what I shared. I will return!
I love this place ! I signed up before they opened this location & Trevor is the best ! I got the membership & it’s oh so worth it ! Lovely front desk staff , the add- ons is amazing . & Trevor is amazing !!!
