One of the best massage/spa places I have ever visited. The staff is always so sweet and inviting. Their massage therapist, Jackie G, is incredible!! She really listens to my concerns and what I want to get out of the appointment. She has serious magic hands that brings even my mind into a relaxed state, which is not easy to do. I will absolutely be returning again!! 10/10

Jackie G. is a magician!! Best massage therapist I’ve ever had. I recommend the signature and flower essence massage services, and plan to try the herbal compress massage next time on her recommendation.I also see Emili for facials and LOVE her! Based on her recommendations, I use many of the Eminence products as part of my daily routine. I love that the products are organic, and still leave my skin looking and feeling great.

A massage used to be a once a year outing that I would treat myself to, but now it’s something I’ve regularly incorporated into my self care routine, mainly because of Jackie!! I can’t speak highly enough of her practice. Jackie was the first massage therapist who I felt completely comfortable enough to fully immerse myself in the experience. She is tender and always attentive. She incorporates a state of mindfulness that is incredibly rejuvenating for the mind and body. You always feel like she is fully present with you in the room. I’ve been seeing Jackie regularly for months now, and I am so grateful to her!

Lynn is an excellent therapist! She took time asking deep questions to understand what brought me in, then tailored my massage service to those focus areas. I felt so relaxed. Highly recommend the hemp oil and the cold stone sinus treatment for fellow migraine sufferers.

I had the Organic Bliss package (aromatherapy massage by Maria and European facial by Brittany). Both services were excellent! I left the spa relaxed and glowy. I can’t wait to return for another lovely spa experience in the future! Also, such a warm and welcoming front desk service and the spa itself is so beautifully decorated. Highly recommend.

I see Jackie G. on a monthly basis for a 90 minute massage and she is AMAZING!!! She is so in tune with what I need at each visit and leaves me feeling renewed and relaxed! I highly recommend her, she is the best!! The spa is very calming and clean, and the staff are always friendly and willing to help. Best spa in Richmond!

10/10 would recommend, this was my first time getting a massage. My best friend and I booked the couples room and it was so relaxing! I had Lynn, she had the most gentle touch yet relaxing pressure. We did the serenity massage which I feel was great for a first timer like me. Everyone should definitely find time to come!

I absolutely love visiting this spa. The ambiance is serene and aesthetically pleasing, creating a wonderfully calming atmosphere. The staff and managers are friendly and professional.Ive been a regular client of Lynns since March, and Ive consistently left feeling incredibly satisfied. Her massage techniques are truly magical, and I find myself eagerly anticipating my next visit. Especially, Lynn helped me ease the tension in my neck and shoulder , leaving me feeling completely relaxed even after just a 30-minute massage. I am definitely thinking of extending my sessions in the future!My husband and I have massage perks through our insurance, and Im grateful to Morgan for her assistance in setting everything up. Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea, the hospitality manager, who was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Also, Rivae is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this spa to everyone!

A massage by Jackie G at Scents of Serenity always leaves me feeling so much better. It’s a toss up which relaxes more: my achy tense muscles or my stressed mind. I am a member there and highly recommend the spa and Jackie G.

I. Love. Scents of Serenity. I see Jackie and she has such a wonderful voice and relaxing touch. I deal with a lot of tight muscles but her technique leaves me feeling relaxed and refreshed every single time. I also love to Emilie for my facials—she’s a genius. The membership is absolutely worth it. This place is luxurious and peaceful. A GEM of Richmond.

This may be a great place for some people, but not for me or part of my family. We came here as a group of 5 women and booked services in a way that would have us all taken care of at the same time. My two services were a bath soak and a facial. My sisters had a massage (60min) and the sauna.My issues are:My bath soak - for reference, the price is listed online. But, for that amount of money to sit in a bathtub that is truly nothing special, I’m quite disappointed. 45 mins is so long and it’s extremely hot.My facial - again, the price is listed online, so can’t say that’s not advertised correctly. But, I did the customized facial and it was essentially just a few different creams put on my face. A slight massage, too, but nothing crazy. No other treatments. That much money…for cream. So, just know that’s what you’re paying for.My sisters massage - my sister said at the beginning that she had tension and wanted pressure, not that this was asked (as I think it should be). However, the massage was extremely light and she felt weird asking for more pressure. It wasn’t asked how it was, so she had a negative experience.I will note that my mother and her friend enjoyed their experience. But, they didn’t pay for it (was a gift from us) so yeah I’d enjoy it if it were free too.To be fair, I would say this would be enjoyable to me if it were just much cheaper. I am certainly upset with my total for the quality of service that I had. I don’t mean with customer service - that was fine. Just, the services offered.Therefore, my review is based on the value I feel I received for my cost which is not good. Just research the prices and make sure it’s worth it to you.

I have been to Scents of Serenity 5 times now and have loved each time! Each therapist was friendly and very knowledgeable. They all checked in with me throughout the massage to make sure everything was going as I wanted. My sister and I even did a couples massage and had such a blast! I will note that it is important to know what service you are requesting as the massages are quite different…deep tissues, relaxing etc…this is not a low end massage place where all the massages are the same…you must know what type of massage you want by reading the beautiful descriptions online.

I love everything about the spa, especially since my favorite masseuse, Jackie, is there. I have been seeing Jackie since her time at Red Door Spa, and that has been 13 years. She is professional and kind, and she is such a sweet person. Aside from Jackie, your front of the house is always smiling, friendly, and very welcoming. I can not say enough! 😊

I had my first facial here a few months ago and immediately signed up for the monthly membership. I’ve now tried a few different types of facials and I’ve also purchased a new product at each visit to work into my skincare routine. Emili has been amazing, both in doing the facials as well as teaching me about the different products. I highly recommend Scents of Serenity and their products. I can tell a huge difference with my skin texture and complexion and have seen the benefits compound each month.

I love scents by serenity, My former long time massagetherspist for over 2 years left the business and i had a really difficult time finding someone who was as amazing as he was. Then i gound Christopher B and my world was right again! Christopher B.is absolutely wonderful. He definitely takes time to get to know you and your specific needs. I always get the hot stone massage.He has a lovely personality and a God given gift with his hands. I always feel so relaxed and less stressed after my time with Chris. If you are looking for an amazing massage therapist then look no further.

I have had many massages, both domestically and internationally, and hands down Jacki G is the best massage therapist I have ever had!! Her serene personality and expertise (and reiki) combine for an incredible experience.If I could afford it, I would have a massage with her every day!! I highly, highly recommend Jacki G. and the rest of the staff at the Short Pump location. It’s easy to see when you are there why it’s been named the best day spa in RVA!

Review №23

I’ve been visiting Scents of Serenity almost 5 years. I have visited both the Short Pump and Grove locations. I am always pleasantly greeted. The services I enjoy are a facial ( I alternate between the European and the dermaplane) and a massage. Emili has been my esthetician of recent and she is wonderful. She is trained in both facials. For the massage I have used Lucy. She is also wonderful. I have used several different masseuse and estheticians over the years and truly they have all been great. But now I’m to the point that I want to establish a relationship and have tried to stick with these 2 wonderful ladies.There is a reason this Spa has been voted best in RVA several years running!

Review №24

I have had several massages now, at the Richmond location on Grove Ave, from two different providers (Katie and Audrey). I have been very pleased with the service. Both therapists interviewed me as we got ready, asking if there were specific problem areas or areas to avoid, and whether I prefer lighter or deeper pressure during massages. They made me feel comfortable and well-cared-for. They following my instructions about problem areas, gave me suggestions for stretching and heat. The facility was very clean and quiet, staff friendly. I like the online reservation system. Definitely recommend, and will be returning.

This is THE spa in Richmond, having visiter most of their locations, I can attest to the unique nature of each, with the commonality of peace, and tranquility. The service offerings are robust, the practitioners talented and committed to your experience. I frequent facials and massage here, but their full menu offering has something for everyone.

I started out with my husband buying me a gift card toScents of Serenity spa It was for a Christmas gift.. so my story goes I went for a facial with a girl named Lindsey didn’t know how I would feel coming out of my facial like it was any other, but I was wrong. My first visit was the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had with having a facial. this beautiful girl Lindsey was so amazing. she was so well experienced and knowing what was good for my facial needs, and let me tell you I wouldn’t want any other facial by any other person. i’m sure the other ladies are just as amazing but my first experience with the facial was with Lindsey, ..She definitely knew her job and does it very well. I had such an amazing experience at sense of serenity spa not only was Lindsey amazing she cared to what you wanted and needed for yourself I was willing to try a number of different sense oils creams, which were amazing!..The facial was so amazing and so relaxing .. also, one thing I did really care about is that Lindsay never pressured me to buy anything don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but it was something that I really acknowledged because I do not like being pressured into buying anything just to make a sell.. But she always asked me if there was anything else I needed..As far as the front desk, they are very nice & is very professional ..the lobby is very clean..The waiting room is so nice and relaxing..There’s no other place to go for a facial other than sense of serenity short pump!There’s no other place I would go to. It is worth every penny…Thank you Scents of Serenity & Lindsey for the most amazing time at your spa!

I was gifted a massage here and didnt know what to expect. They told me they specifically chose this place because its a natural spa, so I was curious how it would goI enjoyed everything. The place is beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. They had me fill out a quick history and asked about any current issues to address. After that, I was taken back immediately to my room and was greeted by my masseuse. She was very nice & accommodating, she explained everything and left me to undress to my comfort level. I slid in those warmed sheets and got comfy. She started off with medium pressure, but as soon as I told her I was okay with more pressure because I normally do deep tissue massages, she put her whole elbow and body into my back, lol. Whew, she really put everything she had into it. Some of it hurt, but I held it in and took it cause I knew the next day I would be great and sure enough, I was feeling relaxed the rest of the day.When it was over, I hopped up, drank some water, and headed out like a new person.I do recommend this location.

Review №35

First visit for a massage package - magical. Second visit I took the day off of work and it was unfortunate that I did so. I wish I could say I was exaggerating. The experience left MUCH to be desired. I was terribly disappointed when it was all said and done and honestly it ruined my taste for spas as a whole. For such a price I expected consistency in experience but obviously not the case.

Review №36

❤️Scents and Serenity!I’ve been receiving facials at the Short Pump spa over a year with master esthetician Brittany which has been absolutely wonderful in giving me my facials. Having an esthetician that enjoys what she does makes a difference and my skin shows it. Her choices in product to use on my skin is given thought before laying and she asks questions about sensitivity you may have. The products are organic and my skin works well with them. I have also tried the infrared sauna to help with relaxation and detox from daily stress issues. The staff is wonderful with explaining their services that are offered. I would highly recommend scents and serenity for any spa needs and Brittany for a wonderful facial at Short Pump or Midlothian locations. Thank you ❤️

This is my go-to place for a relaxing massage. I have a chronic health condition that causes a lot of chronic pain in my joints and muscles and getting massages really helps alleviate my pain. Everyone Ive worked with at Scents of Serenity has been so kind and helpful. The environment is super calming, from the soothing scents to the relaxing sound of the waterfall. I highly recommend Scents of Serenity.

I went here a few weeks ago for a mini massage ($75 service) and unfortunately it was not so great. The place is beautiful, so serene and relaxing. I waited in the waiting area for only a few minutes before my esthetician came to get me. When we got to the room she didn’t ask me anything about my skin. She also asked me if I even wanted to get under the covers since it was just a mini, I of course say yes because I don’t want to just lay on the table without anything covering me/making me comfortable. I’m here to relax, not feel like I’m on an operating table. I’ve never had a facial where I don’t take at least my shirt off so they can do their little neck massage. The facial wasn’t bad except she had gloves on the whole time which stuck to my face and the product. It started to hurt at the end from all the sticky friction on my face. She then gave me a hand and forearm massage…..with no lotion. Just dry friction on my arms, ouch. I then broke out in blemishes over the next few days, more than I ever have with a facial.

It was the first time here for me and my husband today. What a wonderful gem of a spa. We’ve had massages in spas all over the world and this experience ranked as one of our top 5 for sure. We had a couple’s massage...the Serenity Signature experience with hot stones. Our two therapists were wonderfully skilled. The use of aromatherapy from the minute we entered the lobby left us calmer than we’ve been in weeks. There’s a new spa king in town. We’ll definitely be back.

Review №44

Of the multitude of times I’ve been here, I have never been so disappointed in the care I received from the front office staff. They schedule people without any cushion of time between. My sauna was set up without a towel to sit on or a towel to wear.I scheduled myself time in between the sauna and massage for a shower for which they allot 10 minutes. I came to my sauna appointment 5 min late and they wanted to cancel my shower because “the massage therapists don’t care if we shower in between .” I would tend to disagree with this statement.I offered to take a 15 min sauna and I will most likely still pay for the 20 min knowing their fee schedule here. There are other front staff that know what they are doing and how to correctly set up the room, but I didn’t receive that care today. After spending so much money, you would think there would be perfection in their execution or at least a pleasant demeanor for being only 5 min behind. For a sauna.The two stars (that would be a whole 10!) are for my lovely massage therapist Dusty. He knows what he’s doing and provides consistent, absolutely amazing massage and worth every penny I have poured into this space.I will be cancelling my future membership here and hope that the management chooses wisely in their front staff.

This is the place to go if youre looking for a high quality spa experience. The atmosphere and ambience are perfect and the staff is amazing. The nearly endless menu of wellness and relaxation experiences is unrivaled in the area. Solid five-stars and I cant wait to go back!I had a Deep Blue massage with Phil and it exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend both the service and the massage therapist. He was able to find points of tension in my body I didnt even realize were there, and he knew exactly when to switch from deep tissue manipulation to gentle and relaxing pressure.TL;DR: Go there. Ask for Phil.

Absolutely amazing experience! My dad surprised me with a choice of a spa package and his gift came at the right time due to total exhaustion, overwhelm, and pandemic chaos. Mari was so helpful in booking my spa - educating me on the type of service Id be getting, what happens, the benefits of the service and even helping me with getting there! Our family is fairly new to the area and had never been to Scents of Serenity before and it was nice to have such a great start and that was simply booking an appointment. :) For my services, Audrey was so sweet, attentive and did an amazing work. She took her time, graciously explained what she was doing and was just a blessing to be in her presence. I loved that I could tell that she really enjoys what she does and is knowledgeable about what she does. I will be returning and next time with my husband!

Scents of serenity is wonderful. The short pump location is so beautiful and welcoming inside, as are the staff! Lindsay is fantastic! I had my first facial with her and was a bit nervous because I dont have a solid skin care routine at home. She took the time to talk about my skin concerns and she explained the steps and products she used throughout the facial so I was able to learn how to follow-up some of the process at home. The facial was incredibly relaxing and refreshing. Thank you Lindsay and Scents of serenity!

This place is so nice and the atmosphere so celestial and divine that I though the Lord himself and his angels were going to come escort me to get my service done. Dim lighting, essential oils diffused into the air, and soft serene music made this the most relaxing atmosphere Ive ever experienced. I received a Brazilian from Mary and it was AWESOME! She was so pleasant and comforting and worked QUICKLY to make sure I experience as little pain as possible. And the best part is that we chatted like old pals the whole time and it really took my mind off what I was getting done. My boyfriend gave me a birthday gift card to this place after recommendation by a coworker of his, and I am so glad he did! I will absolutely visit the spa and Mary again. Thanks a bunch for a very pleasant experience!

As a Birthday gift to myself, I booked a few services. Greeted by the friendly young ladies at the desk, they immediately escorted to my soaking room, where my freshly drawn soaking tub awaited me! It was tranquil and quiet....just the escape I needed! Ive literally changed the vision board for my master bathroom renovation to be inspired by this room. From there, I was greeted by my massage therapist Kevin and taken to my massage room. With a quick review of my problem areas, away I went to the Land of Peace again! Feeling rejuvenated + relaxed, I left knowing that I would most definitely be returning....with no less than a few friends in tow. I strongly recommend reserving ASAP!!

My massage therapist really listened to what I was looking for from my massage and checked in throughout to make sure my experience was enjoyable and comfortable. 10/10 will absolutely book with Scents of Serenity again!

Review №87

I set a birthday appointment/ girls day a month in advance for my fiancé and her best friend. The appointment was for a facial and a massage each. I paid nearly $600 including advanced 20% gratuity for the therapists only to have them show up and told that first they were not in the system, second the appointment had been cancelled. Regardless of the proof of appointment, payment and confirmation they were unable to do anything other than say “oh we can offer you possible upgrades and a discount for next time.” Out of maybe 20 plus spas in a 30 mile or so radius I would never come back to this location even though short pump is a nice area. Clearly either management or leadership hasn’t shown anyone how to use a calendar or taught anyone in staff training about proper accountability in business. If you’re looking to treat your significant other to a day of relaxation I would choose somewhere different because $600 and a month in advance appointment won’t help the incompetency of the staff who clearly have a disconnect in communication.

My husband purchased a spa package for my birthday so he handled all of the booking communication. He said the process was very easy. I had never had a full spa day. From the moment I set foot in the spa I felt relaxed. The Short Pump location was gorgeous. Every little detail is taken into account. I used the soaker tub, had a 90 minute Massage (Troy was great and very friendly) followed by a facial (Kacie made my skin look and feel amazing). We did a couple of the add on options and my day was perfectly relaxing. I will totally do it again. Highly recommend for anyone needing a day to just unplug, relax and feel calm.

My first visit to Scents of Serenity Spa and it was fabulous!! The staff were pleasant & professional, and clearly explained all the new procedures in place due to COVID. My Massage Therapist, Anna, was fabulous!! She listened to my areas of concern and focused her treatment accordingly! One of the best massages I e ever had and definitely the best one here in Richmond! Can’t wait for my next visit!!

I planned a spa day for myself and my daughter for Christmas. My appointment was canceled due to the spa’s fault (an alleged computer glitch even though it was booked over a month in advance). They could not accommodate us and left us high and dry. They were also completely unapologetic and made no effort to correct THEIR error. Go anywhere else but here!!!

I had my first massage there this weekend and it was amazing. The women that worked there were so sweet and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. I received the aromatherapy massage and I will be making another booking for one! The only downfall is they do not accept visa gift cards which is what I was going to use to pay. I have never heard of a company accept visa debit cards but not the gift cards. But besides that it was a great experience and I will be back!

I have been to their Richmond location before, but this was my first time in their Short Pump location. The space is beautiful and very calming when you walk in. Their front desk team is so kind and knowledgeable about products and services.I did a 90 minute hot stone massage with Jackie and could have gone another hour! Jackie was great! Asked helpful questions before we got started and made great suggestions if I wanted to schedule a follow up appointment. Well worth every penny!

I didnt know how much I needed a massage until after Id gotten one from Melanie at Scents of Serenity Spa & Wellness! Ive had a few massages in my life, but the one I got from Melanie was the absolute best! Others I know who have been to her feel the same. The spa itself is gorgeous, as you can see from the pictures - stylish yet tranquil. The lighting, soft music and decor are the perfect combination to help you relax. I cant wait to visit again next time Im in Richmond!

My wife and I had a couples massage for my birthday, much needed for both of us. Both of our therapists (sorry terrible with names) were very friendly and welcoming! They made sure that both of us were comfortable and provided additional pillows. For me the massage portion was spot on; correct pressure, worst areas focused on, and let me know what areas needed some work too. My wife is not as much of a massage lover as me, however she felt like the right areas were worked as well! I would recommend going to either this location or their Grove location, they truly take the Commercial feel out of the spa world these days like other places. They embody the world of relaxing and letting go!

Friendly staff. Mari is amazing. She booked my sister and me at the last minute so I could treat her out for her birthday. My sister raved about how well Sam took care of her and Kacie, who did my facial, was amazing. Super friendly and super knowledgeable of how to care for my skin type. I usually go to Massage Envy but I think I may have found my new spot! The entire team is amazing. There was a hiccup with a product that I was going to purchase. It was incorrectly labeled but the cashier would not honor the sticker price... Bummer. But I really like the products I currently use anyway so its not a deal breaker. Again, great experience. I highly recommend!!

From start to finish, this place is amazing! I saw Alexa for the Mindful Moments massage and it was life changing. I pass by this location almost everyday and I never thought twice to visit it. I’m glad that I did! I was always skeptical about massage places for their effectiveness but this was a great first experience! I highly recommend seeing Alexa as well. She added such peacefulness to the therapy. Go to any of the locations, I’m sure you won’t regret it!

THIS is the experience you hope to have at a spa! The atmosphere immediately puts you at ease and relaxes you in preparation for whatever treatment you’re there for. The massages have spoiled me to where I don’t want to go anywhere else. The products they use and sell are all organic and the best in quality. You truly feel like you’ve just done something so kind to and good for your body when you leave. I visit Richmond often and make a visit to Scents of Serenity as often as I’m able to on my trips. There’s absolutely nothing like it in DC, where I live.

I attended the Short Pump location. It is a very well appointed spa with excellent attention to detail. I scheduled a 90 minute massage and was expecting that. Instead I had a 90 minute appointment. I arrived 10 minutes prior to my 12:30 appointment and was met by my massage attendant at exactly 12:30 and escorted to my room. My massage began at about 12 minutes till 1 and was over at exactly 2 PM. I have massages regularly and when I pay for a 90 minute massage that what I expect. Im used to getting 90 minutes from the tine the massage starts. I paid for approximately 20 minutes of massage which I didnt receive. Their menu should read 30, 60. 90 minute appointments not massages. Had I received the 90 minutes I paid for I would have given this 5 stars. Disappointing

What are you waiting for, book an appointment! I had not had a spa service in a year and was given one for my birthday. I was blown away by my experience at Scents of Serenity. When I walked in the door I felt like I just stepped into the doors of a resort spa. The facility is gorgeous. The staff was friendly throughout my time there, from the front desk at check-in to the esthetician, masseuse and check out. If you haven’t given this facility a try I suggest you do!

What an incredibly relaxing environment. I try and get facials once every month or two. I was going to Elena at Red Door spa. When they closed, I learned Elena moved to Scents of Serenity so I followed her. What a great decision! Such a relaxing and professional environment and the products they sell are amazing! I am using a charcoal gel purifying cleanser now and I love the way it makes my face feel when I am done.

Scents of Serenity is the absolute best. I have recurring lower back problems and ever since my first appointment the staff has been conscious and attentive to that fact. The relief I have experienced after visits is lasting and they address any and all tension you may be feeling. To make things even better they have an incredibly welcoming and calming environment in their waiting area and in all their rooms. Their service is always always above my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

A Scents of Serenity Organic Spa experience is transcending. Stepping into the beautiful atmosphere of diffused essential oils and gorgeous decor was just the beginning. I said yes to the tea while made comfy in the sitting room and marveled at my surroundings feeling like I was was the most important appointment of the day. The staff was genuine and courteous. I was then escorted to another over the top room for my massage. I’ve had many massages and can tell you from experience my therapist was skilled. So as the soft music played and my sore body was relaxing, knowing the products were truly organic and cleanliness a priority a big plus, I’m sure I fell asleep. Thank you for such a great Spa right here in RVA and Glen Allen.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, I WAS a member until I had a expensive massage where I was freezing the entire time. I did communicate my discomfort but to no avail. The massages here are not inexpensive so when I called and told them my experience they gave me a mere $25 off a $185 massage. Honestly I was insulted. I just spent $185 for 90 minutes to be cold. I understand they need to make a profit but where does the client needs come into it. Basic warmth is paramount to a massage!

Consistently above average service - 4 services, 4 excellent experiences. I have had an amazing facial and deep tissue massage here in the past. I recently decided to try the waxing services as my other place has left my skin stressed out. Not only was the waxing service great, but everyone at the shop was very helpful with helping me sort out my moisturizer and cleansing options as the weather changes have severely dried out my skin and my normal products are not cutting it right now. Top notch, professional, caring, educated staff and always the best service and caring demeanor. I think the organic products are wonderful and Ive felt confident that everyone who I have worked with knows what they are doing. This is my go to spa. Period.

Scents of Serenity is the ultimate escape in todays hectic world. As soon as I walk into their charming entrance, I find immediate peace as I know that no matter what service I am receiving, it will be and always has been the best in Virginia. I have been a regular client since 2011 and highly recommend their Serenity Signature Massage, Thai Massage, Cranberry Sugar Scrub, and Arctic Berry Peel. Although I promise you, you cant go wrong with any of their services.Their extensive organic products that they have on hand is the best I have seen yet and the way you are personally treated by Melanie, Lara, Shana or any of their amazingly gifted ladies... does not get any better than this.If you are looking for a Day Spa that is affordable, flexible, and truly cares about you as a client... look no further. Scents of Serenity is the place to be!

Review №135

Questionable Ethics and Poor Customer Service. (Long, but worth reading) Review completed by Anthonys wife, Annie(If you dont have time to read the takeaway is that they were VERY sketchy with the medical forms and just rude.)When I originally booked my appointment, I was unclear as to which address I was booking my appointment. I was given a description, but no address. In retrospect, this part was my fault, I should have insisted on the specific street address.My appointment was for 12:30 massage and facial. I had arrived at the incorrect location (they are 20 minutes apart) around 12:22. I was told by the front desk lady that judging by what she saw of the other locations schedule, this should be no issue because there was a gap. She called the other location to let them know and assured me I would be fine and able to receive my services in full. I realize that the mistake was mine, but how it was dealt with was horrible.So, I book it to the next location and arrive at 12:45. I notice at this point there is not a single other customer in the building at this time. I am encouraged (told) to quickly sign the medical form without getting a chance to read it. They said my masseuse would go over it with me upstairs. (Spoiler, she did not). At this point I am already uncomfortable.I am then rushed upstairs and told right off of the bat that this will be cut short because of the time I arrived. There are no customers upstairs, and many empty rooms. My massage was only 14 minutes long, it was supposed to be 30 minutes. The whole time the lady massaging me kept using words like quickly. This was not relaxing at all. I felt so disrespected and could not relax, I was on the verge of tearsIF there truly was another customer coming in right after me, then they should have told me to reschedule, or taken the massage or facial off of my purchase. However, instead I received a haphazard excuse for a massage. Then, I received the facial for the full 30 minutes.This lady was much kinder, and the facial was close to the full 30 minutes. She gave me recommendations but even the facial was a 4/10 at best. I should note I have pretty clear skin, just clogged pores which I noted to the aesthetician ahead of time. At the end my pores were still visible clogged. It was not one of the better facials I have had, but it was exponentially better than the massage.On my way to the front desk to pay for my appointments, I notice that there are still no other customers. There was no need for my appointments to be rushed. I go to checkout at the front desk, and would you believe it BUT THEY ASK ME TO FILL OUT THE MEDICAL FORMS THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ME FILL OUT BEFOREHAND. They wanted to make it appear that they did it properly and had me fill it out beforehand.There were a number of ways the salon could have handled the scheduling mishap, this was the worst of them. Honestly, I wish I just wouldnt have had the massage at all, because I felt so uncomfortable.Do not go here. If you receive a gift card and have to engage, I would recommend neither of these services. Consider re gifting the gift card or using it on merchandise or a different service.

I went in to Scents of Serenity for several services (facial, massage, & microdermabrasion), I bought a package which was an amazing deal. I had an incredible experience from the time I walked in the spa, the environment was so relaxing and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The owner was there and checked me in and was super sweet making sure I had everything I needed. My massage therapist (Michelle) came and got me right away and WOW! It was the best massage I have had, she was very attentive and just the right amount of pressure during the massage. After that Heather did my facial and microdermabrasion and let me tell you, it was awesome. She discussed my skin with me and made some great recommendations. The products she used smelled so amazing, and my face has never looked so good. I did purchase some products because honestly my face looked so great I am hoping using the products will keep it that way! The owner checked me out and again I was impressed about the professionalism of the owner and staff. I have found my skincare home at this spa! YAY!

I live walking distance to the Libbie/Grove location, but wanted to try out the new Short Pump location, which looks really cute and seems to offer an array of different services.I scheduled appointments for myself, my twin sister, and boyfriend to get massages and a facial on my twin sister and Is birthday. I scheduled these appointments a good month out and received numerous emails and intake forms to confirm the appointments. The very morning of our services, I received a phone call about an hour before our appointments to inform us that the esthetician who was to perform the facial had called out sick and therefore the facial was not possible. We wound up cancelling the other two services since we were planning to come into together as a birthday celebration.Given the COVID-19 pandemic, I am grateful that sick employees are not performing services, however, I am surprised that they do not anticipate these types of situations and have backup estheticians to provide services in case someone calls out. I frequent spas all the time and have never had a service cancelled the morning of with so little notice. Obviously, we are very disappointed and will take our business elsewhere in the future.

My go to place for massages! I found this when it was close to my prior house. I read nothing but positive reviews and finally decided to give this place a try with their mom-to-be massages that my husband purchased for me when prego. Since there (2018) this is my go to! My favorite and only person I use is Alexa. She is fantastic and the armpit queen hahaha (Seriously though!).Located has moved from Mountain Road to Staples Mill, bigger location, and the atmosphere is still relaxing and positive. Their services available are fantastic and their staffs are professional and friendly/helpful with any questions that you have. They also have Eminence Organic products that I was introduced to recently and are obsessed with!Love love LOVE this place. Highly recommend it! They also have an easy to use website to book the appointments and they also work with the MINDBODY app as well.

Rude and unprofessionalMy wife had been here before and liked the services. On her last appointment she called in advance to state that she was going to be a few minutes late. She was told that she made the appointment and that she could not be late for it. The lady was very patronizing and borderline rude. The least that they could have done is give her a massage a few minutes short, she was still paying full price. They made a big deal about it. Anyway, its their loss. Now that my wife is out of her pregnancy, she was looking to get spa appointments at least twice a month. They just lost a loyal customer.

Everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful and the massage was fantastic. This is a great place for wedding parties and pampering as well. Give them a shot you certainly wont be disappointed!

I enjoyed a 60 min. facial with Martha and must say it was one of the best facials I have ever received. The ambience of the Spa was simply wonderful and all of the staff that I encountered were very accommodating. I look forward to my next facial and highly recommend Scents of Serenity

My experience was simply amazing. The decor, the service, the atmosphere made me feel like I was in another world. I treated myself to a spa day for my 35th birthday and it was well worth the time and money spent. I had an amazing deep tissue massage and facial. I cant wait to go back again!!!!!

Scents of Serenity is amazing! I try to go as often as possible. My partner and I like to see Alexa and Tabitha, but honestly everyone we have gotten has been so great and very attentive to what you want to work on that session, things to avoid or focus on, any injuries or special needs, etc. The rooms and building and whole ambience is amazingly relaxing, the options and add-ons are awesome and priced really well, and weve never had less than a perfect experience all around!

Every visit is like a vacation! Whether I go for a rejuvenating massage or an organic microderm facial, I always feel I’ve completely left Richmond, I’ve completely forgotten my stress, and I’m completely doing something good for myself. From the moment I walk in the door I begin to relax from the delightfully natural scents of lavender and luscious organic products; then while lying on the comfy heated bed (I tend to be cold natured so I LOVE this heated bed) underneath a draping canopy of sheer romantic linens, I can’t help but forget about my daily routine. Even after I leave I feel the benefits of spending that hour or so on making myself a priority. And each visit I learn a lot about the health of my skin. For the first time I am seeing the advantages of giving my skin what it truly needs instead of covering up what it lacks. And it’s affordable. There are so many products on the market that can appear to work but when you try the Eminence products at Scents of Serenity you will understand the difference in the way your skin responds to natural ingredients. These products are so rich you want to eat them! I have seen my hormonally challenged, sun damaged, aged skin transform after a few visits and continued use of the products. I even snuck off to work without any makeup on today!Thank you, Melanie, for sticking with your holistic beliefs in beauty and health. You’ve really got a good thing going!

Lovely spot. The eminence line of products is the best skin care line Ive ever found. There was a bit of a discrepancy between what we booked and how the team planned. But they fixed it and were lovely to work with.

WARNING!! Please read….I live in Short Pump and was super excited about having my husband try Serenity. He has been working super hard and I wanted to do something special for him. This was not it! Serenity is very deceiving. My husband was to get a CBD bath. All it was was cold water. He did not even get in and waited in the chair until the timer rang. We were both so disappointed. The workers were not knowledgeable and have not even wanted to return my calls when I have expressed my dissatisfaction with everything. Please do not waste your time or hard earned money.

Last year, after trying several spas in Richmond, I stumbled across a gem called Scents of Serenity.Scents is not your run of the mill spa, they are a small business that deliver a big experience to their customers! From the moment you walk in through the aqua blue door, you are transported to a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. Their waiting room decorated in tones of cream and blue, is a haven for all weary professionals especially moms.I recommend their Aromatherapy massage, with the balance essential oil blend. With its earthy soothing fragrance it dissolves all tension and aches. My massage therapist, Lara is truly exceptional. She took care of my leg pain (from Zumba) and my back ache.I highly recommend Scents of Serenity for anyone looking for a personalized yet affordable spa experience.

Got the European facial yesterday with Sarah and I loved it! It was really good I definitely recommend it. Their products are all natural and you can purchase them which I will be doing so. They are on the expensive side but they are all natural so its worth the investment. Will be going again before the end of summer.

I like this spa, but this is the third facial in a row where I left feeling like nope, that didnt feel like a $200 dollar facial. Its also the third time the facial has been cut short by 10-15 minutes or so. I mentioned it to the person at the front desk and they didnt do anything about it. I think its too much fluff lately for the price. Ill look elsewhere for now.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this spa! I have had a few services done here and each have been so relaxing and the staff have been pleasant. I definitely appreciate their response to covid and maintaining compliance throughout the spa. If there’s one thing you need in 2020, it’s a trip to Serenity!

I was in need of a good massage. My normal place has been closed due to Covid so I branched out and found this spa. I had Kevin and he was awesome. Deep tissue with hot stones. One of the best massages I’ve had in this city. The price was reasonable and this is my go to spot now for massages.

Emili was hands on sharing recommendations and asked many questions about my needs. She was listening and recommending what I needed but was not pushy about anything. I felt a natural glow after and she really gave me the confidence I needed :)

Review №187

I received a gift certificate for a massage and facial and upon booking my appointment, clearly indicating what kind of gift certificate I had, the receptionist booked me for a 60 minute massage and 60 minute facial. Both were wonderful given by Michelle. HOWEVER, upon checking out, the front desk notifies me that the services I received were not the services on the gift certificate and that I owe an addition $66. It seems that the receptionist that booked my services was mistaken and that I had to pay for her mistakes!!!! The girl that checked me out was kind enough to call the owner to see if anything could be done about this fiasco, but the owner was adamant in that I had to pay for their mistakes. BE CAREFUL WHEN BOOKING WITH THIS OUTFIT. I feel that I was a victim of a scam.

Review №189

This is a warning for the short girls.....This is a spa that, when it was designed, did not have us in mind. Don’t get me wrong, I had a lovely experience and would go back. But I wouldn’t do the bath soak. It was not at all relaxing. I spent about half of the time trying to figure out how I could lay back and relax without drowning (I couldn’t) and the other half just kind of sitting or leaning back, waiting for the alarm to sound. If there was a bath pillow and something that would’ve prevented me from sliding and having my head go under, it probably would’ve been great. But they didn’t, so it wasn’t.Then I took a short shower and when I got out, I could only see the top of my head in the mirror. Again, no one was thinking about the short girls.

I waited for years to get another facial because Ive never seen results that i expected to see. This was the first time I actually saw results from a facial. And, the results were lasting. The bags under my eyes were almost gone. I felt refreshed and i plan to go back next month for another facial.
