Had a wonderful experience at Skincare Lounge SPA! The space is absolutely beautiful and impressively clean. Staff was beyond friendly and knowledgeable! I had the Escape Package; 1 hour massage and 1 hour facial and both were amazing! They even gave me champagne and chocolate at the end! I will definitely be back the next time I’m looking for a relaxing day in the city! Highly recommend!

What a truly beautiful experience!My daughters gifted me the Christmas Escape package: a customized-to-my skin-type facial, including microdermabrasion, a relaxing full body massage, champagne & chocolates. An exceptionally delightful way to enjoy a spa day!The treatment rooms are heavenly, with relaxing lighting which look like stars illuminating an evening sky. Warm candles illuminate the hallways, its all so relaxing.My aesthetician Linh Nguyen provided above and beyond service, with attention to detail. She listened to me, explained the steps of both treatments and what the desired results were for each, focused on areas that required extra attention, as well as suggesting products, treatments and exercises for at-home care. My services were personalized and I felt so cared for.The rejuvenating facial transformed my skin and left it smooth, hydrating and glowing.After the massage the tightness in my back and hips were gone.And then to continue to unwind in a candlit room with champagne and Godiva chocolates...perfect.The spa is chic, equipped with the latest in products and technology and the staff and the owner Anthony Guerrera are professional, friendly and welcoming.I so thoroughly enjoyed my spa day that I booked a service for next month at checkout.Highly recommend. Already referred friends. Cant wait to go back!

I received the royal treatment at Skincare Lounge SPA! My fiancé gifted me with a spa day for my birthday! Paula took care of me. She is so sweet, caring, and knowledgeable. I had a sauna blanket, a body scrub and mask, a body and head massage, a meal of my choosing (with a glass of champagne!), and a facial. I cant wait for my next visit with Paula! I felt so relaxed and my skin feels amazing. The ambiance here is so soothing and the staff really cared about giving me a great experience! Highly recommend!

My aesthetician, Linh gave me the most luxurious and detailed facial I ever had in my life. She was fabulous! The overall atmosphere of the spa is very relaxed and peaceful. I would recommend this spa for a luxury experience!

My wife and I booked the couples escape package. We were running late for our appointment due to amtrak delay. We called ahead to inform the spa and they were willing to accommodate our late arrival by moving our appointments back on fairly short notice. The champagne and chocolates were nice. Avvonlea provided an excellent hot stone massage and facial. My wife had Pauline who also provided a great massage and facial and was very knowledgeable. The spa was clean and inviting. I see there are some negative reviews regarding discrepancies between website/confirmation email prices and final bill. The website price for couples retreat states $295 which is also what the confirmation email stated we received. After tax and service fee our final bill was $339.25 (not including tips). We thought that was reasonable. Would recommend!

I had a deep tissue massage here with Lynn - she was great, and the spa itself was lovely! It’s hard to feel relaxed in the middle of the city but this place definitely does that. Can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful experience with Shaneece. She was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services honestly, she is truly a master at her craft 5 stars isn’t enough to accurately rate her skill set. My skin looks and feels amazing I couldnt be happier walking out of the spa with a radiant glow. Her attention to detail and personalized approach make her stand out from any other esthetician I’ve encountered (slay) and the owner, Anthony makes sure youre made to feel beautiful and confident the energy Anthony gives is so contagious. You will not be disappointed booking any skincare services here.

I had the Bio-cell facial with Andrea, and it was wonderful! Very relaxing and pleasant. Andrea asked about any concerns or problem areas and customized the facial to sensitive skin. She also made recommendations for a product to address skin issues. I felt very refreshed and pampered and will definitely recommend a facial here!

Absolutely Stellar Experience!After an initial hiccup with the Four Seasons not being able to accommodate us, we booked this spa as a last-minute alternative—and what a serendipitous find! Having experienced high-end spas, including the Four Seasons, I can honestly say that this place surpassed them all.The level of service here is unparalleled. Both therapists we interacted with (Pauline and Christine) were not only welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable. As someone who has been frequenting massage and facial therapists for years, I was impressed by the educational insights they provided, along with practical advice that felt tailored just for us.The entire experience was relaxing, engaging, and by far exceeded the quality of what weve come to expect at more prestigious establishments. I wholeheartedly recommend this spa to anyone looking for a top-notch wellness experience that promises not just to pamper but also educate. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Christine is an angel. I don’t often take myself to have “self care” treatments but I’m so glad I did! She gave me my first ever facial and it was absolutely lovely. My skin looks and feels so amazing. She’s super sweet and was very understanding that this was totally new to me.I’m looking forward to coming back. Thanks!

If you’re looking for a nice spa, this is the place to go. The staff is amazing. They provide a wide variety of services. I suffered from hyperpigmentation on my face and this spa helped me gain my confidence back by getting facials once a month. Oh, and how could I forget the owner! Anthony is adorable, nice, comforting, and really cares for everyone who walks through those doors. Book your appointment with Skincare Lounge Spa. You won’t be disappointed!

This place is gross and dingy. Low funky lights throw off the relaxing vibe. My massage was rough. The massage table was dragged across the floor a couple of times during my massage. Seemed like a massage u would get in a sketchy basement with the target rug as a pillow for knees. Masseuse was too chatty for a spa like experience. Nice but sorry this isn’t the place to chat it up. I’ve been to cleaner places for less the price.Update: they claim to have contacted me but I have never received a call or email back after I reached out. Yeaa this spot is worse than the weird Asian massage parlors I would rather go to than this fake led light overpriced spot.

I am an out of towner and skincare lounge Spa is a must on my places to stop in at in Philadelphia. I have visited three times now, from massages, couple package to facials.My massage therapist Val, is quite amazing and all of my chronic back, neck & nerve pain issues alway disappears and I feel anew. (Or floating on a cloud)All staff is very friendly, as soon as you walk through the door are you greeted by a friendly, welcoming, kindhearted person. The man at the front desk offers you number beverages. I was offered champagne to complete my experience. (A major plus in my books) and he always make sure the you are comfortable! The waiting room very chic and stylish, and every room massage has relaxing vibes. For the couples massage you are offered a a private room after service shocked champagne, fruit and other delicious goodies.Depending on the weekend they are booked and busy.Its an amazing experience!

I love the skincare lounge. I’ve been getting my waxes there monthly for the past 5 years. Shout out to Linh who does a perfect wax. Also they offer 5 Brazilian waxes for $200 which you literally can’t get better than that. I will never go anywhere else!

I booked a Brazilian wax and Brazilian smoothing treatment with Christine and it was amazing. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked into the spa and the moment I left. I’ve had plenty of Brazilian waxes before and they was painful. My wax with Christine was pleasant and didn’t hurt at all. The price for a Brazilian wax is very reasonable and worth every penny. I will be back. Thanks so much

Linh is the best if you want a nice quiet deep massage! Pauline is great if you prefer to chat!Very consistent place. Mimosas with your visit (and if they dont offer automatically, just ask!). You can find deals on Groupon or their website & they will do their best to accommodate your schedule. Self care is the best care.

90 minute therapeutic deep tissue with Val (male) was amazing! I’m over 50 and have decades of massage experience; no one has ever been able to fully work out all my tightness and aches. I workout and need massages monthly. I’m now a Val fan and will be seeing him often!Also, my boyfriend had an incredible massage with Val’s mom Paula. Both have expert knowledge about health, fitness and therapy. He also will be coming back with me monthly!Thanks so much Val & Paula💕

Linh is the best! She’s very knowledgeable in getting the right skin treatment and products to use at home to maintain a healthy and glowing appearance. I highly recommend her!I only have one thing that didn’t left me kinda disappointed about the experience is that during the check out I got charged an extra $25 for service fee due to inflation. However this should be notified when booking. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the website nor my confirmation email.

Came in for a Valentine’s Day package that included a 75 minute massage & a facial. Leeza was my massage therapist. I carry a lot of stress and tension in my upper back, and they did an amazing job working out my knots and really focusing on my problem areas. Christine did my facial, it was my first one and she explained everything to me and made me very comfortable. Overall this experience really exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return.

Linh was amazing with my foot massage! We chatted and laughed for the whole session!! I definitely wont forget this amazing experience.. Shes very easy to talk with and also very very good with her hands! My calves and feet feel SOOO relaxed and comfortable. She does a great job and shes such a hard worker! Please give her some love and book a massage or facial with her!!! Also I saw Christine for a luxurious facial. THAT WOMAN ROCKS. Both of them are amazing! Christine gave me a pleasant facial and microdermabrasion for my face. It was fun with how down to earth and honest she is!! I loved cracking some jokes with her and she did her magic with her hands. My face is smooth, glassy and perfect!! She even recommended me skin care products to further maintain my skin. BOTH LINH AND CHRISTINE ARE AMAZING!!! They made me feel welcome and comfortable for my birthday experience 🥰! What are you waiting for? Get some self care love and book w Linh AND Christine!!!!!

This experience was absolutely amazing, I cant even express how wonderful it was. It was beyond a five-star rating, they truly deserve the highest praise.

From the moment I walked into this peaceful paradise, I felt completely relaxed. Shout out to the front Dess. They were definitely the magic behind this masterpiece. this masterpiece

My boyfriend and I booked the Couples Escape package which includes a 60 minute massage and 30 minute facial and a glass of champagne and chocolate. This was our first time getting a professional massage. When booking the package we assumed we would be in the same room together for the experience and we were not. We were a little bummed about that, but did not let it ruin the experience. My masseuse, Val, did an amazing job. I had a very relaxing experience that left me feeling completely rejuvenated. My boyfriend enjoyed his massage as well but his masseuse talked the entire time which made it hard to completely relax. He thought the massage was still amazing though and said the lady was kind. Our facials felt great, but my boyfriend mentioned how the facialist seemed a little stand offish and did not tell him next steps for the rest of the night (like if he should do his skin care routine or not). He just felt like he needed more guidance, but again this was our first professional experience so we do not know really want to expect or how these things should usually go. Overall it was a good experience. We ended up paying $339 (not including tip) when online it was listed at $295. Not a huge difference, but something to note. Im not sure if the price was worth it, but we had an overall good experience.

Specially the owner Anthony, he’s very funny and will make you feel welcome. They offer you champagne when you come in & they make sure you’re comfortable and satisfied. My esthetician was Chris shes great and very knowledgeable, after my facial she got me in a skincare routine to take home and follow. The prices are not bad at all, I took a brochure home to compare the prices to other locations. Very affordable

I cant thank Chrismarie enough for the incredible transformation my skin has undergone since I started visiting her for facials. Having struggled with persistent acne/bumps for years, I was skeptical about finding a solution that worked for me. However, from the very first session, Chrismarie proved to be a skincare wizard!She took the time to thoroughly assess my skins needs, explaining each step of the process and customizing treatments to address my specific concerns. The results have been nothing short of miraculous – my acne has significantly cleared up, and my skin now glows with newfound radiance.Thankyou skincare lounge and Chrismarie!

Received a gift card here so I decided to book the Rejuvenate Spa Package. First I had a 60 min Swedish Massage with Val which was incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. I mentioned that I had some neck and shoulder stiffness, so he gave that area some extra attention and worked through a tough knot. Following the massage, I felt noticeably better mobility and posture. Hes really thorough and great at what he does. Next I had a 30 min facial with Lauren N, which was also amazing. She left my face feeling so hydrated and refreshed. She also massaged my neck and scalp. I would definitely go back for both services. To top things off, I was handed a glass of champagne at the end :)

Overall experience was ok, me and my husband both enjoyed our massages before we went on our vacation this past June & I enjoyed my facial & Brazilian wax. My only issue is that when you book online & receive confirmation email with total amount due and price for each service but then after you get the services done they charge you a completely different price, so the first time the owner said it was a booking fee😏which there is nothing on the site stating anything about a booking fee & my sister goes there which is the reason I went there and she has NEVER paid a booking fee! (They pick and choose who they want to overcharge/charge a booking fee) I was charge an additional 70$ that’s a pretty high “Booking fee” I’ve been here twice and both times I was over charged an extra 55-70$ after the second time I never went back. Very good massages but I refuse to get overcharged every time I get a service here, first time I chalked it up but second time nope you won’t get a third.. Giving 3 stars only because the massages were very good!

Review №74

This place deserves 10 stars! Waxing, facials, and massages are all top notch in my opinion. They’ve done an excellent job recruiting technicians in each field. Val in particular has to be one of Philly’s best kept secrets. His knowledge and expertise of muscles and connective tissues is second to none. I first saw Val for a massage in 2020, he clearly continues to master his craft as my take on his massages has as only gotten better. My only regret writing this is that it will be harder to get an appointment with him! but hey, we all need healing from time to time.

Review №75

Update: this spa responded to my review saying they are sure the issue was resolved. It was resolved by me removing myself from the spa. That’s it.DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, FILTER REVIEWS FOR THE LOWEST STARS. THEY ARE PREDOMINANTLY WOMEN OF COLOR...ESPECIALLY BLACK WOMEN. NOT A SAFE SPACE FOR US AT ALL. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS SPA TO THE BBB.Tori is wonderful, the owner is not. I’ve had multiple issues with him including him double charging me and making it a huge issue when I asked for a refund. Today, was the worst as he continuously provided smart remarks after I inquired about my bill and a booking fee that I’ve never been previously charged for. “Did you come in here and expect to not pay anything?, “ Did you think you were getting free services?”, and so on. I simply asked a question but once he got smart, I disengaged, paid, and left. He offered to refund the fee after being extremely rude. I will not be returning. I expect to feel fully relaxed after a spa treatment. Again, Tori is wonderful, Anthony is disgustingly unpleasant.

Based on all the great reviews, my husband and I booked a massage at this place. We both did a 60 min Swedish massage. Upon leaving and comparing experiences, we both agreed our massages were well below average. My therapist never asked me anything about what I wanted (or didnt want). There was almost no pressure whatsoever (for both me and my husband). And Im pretty sure the people who worked on us are not licensed massage therapists. Seems like they just dont know what theyre doing. My massage was very erratic and fast and weird and the guy just aggressively rubbed oil on my skin without pressure. Absolutely bizarre experience. Upon reading some other reviews here, I can see the guy who gave me a massage also does facials. That is weird. Those are two different jobs.

Review №79

I had the worst facial here. I showed up 10min early. The receptionist at the front desk (which I now think was the spa owner) did not care to greet me for a few minutes. Instead, he was staring at his computer while speaking loudly with other customers sitting across the room. I walked up closer to the desk, initiated the conversation and finally got checked in. I sat awkwardly as the receptionist was being friendly with other customers (offering champagne) while ignoring me.My esthetician was 5min late. She was not the same esthetician I initially selected at booking (who had more years of experience and more reviews). I went with it anyway... The steam was way too hot, the towels were also insanely hot! My skin got so red after a while, so my esthetician turned into panic mode and started slapping oatmeal mask and ice cold things on my face to calm it down. She also decided to use LED lights (for only about 2min) to calm my skin, and later told me that LED would cost more $$ but shes giving it to me for free...so generous! Her massage consisted of pressing on my chest a few times, and pulling on my neck twice, not relaxing! I left with oatmeal crumbs on my hair and neck. The used towels were left on the sink, dripping water onto the floor, gross! The entire process was so messy and unprofessional.They charged me $10 extra on top of the promotional price for some undisclosed taxes and booking fees (?). I will never come back here again, or recommend to anyone. Ive had better facials with proper massage even at Hand & Stone.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars!! I bought my mom and I Queen for a day Packages last year that we never used until this past weekend. Although the package was no longer a promotion Anthony went above and beyond to accommodate us and to make sure we had nothing short of the most luxurious experience. We truly felt like queens for a day!! Everything from the warm welcome we received upon arriving to the spa, to the blissful ambience and everything in between. I had an amazing full body massage starting with Lisa who was extremely professional and thorough followed by a pampering body scrub and facial done by Aubrey. She left my skin glowing from head to toe and made me extremely comfortable throughout the process. I cannot wait to go back and see her and the rest of the staff again. Not to mention my picky mother could not be more pleased with her experience as well. By the time we left I felt like I knew the staff my entire life. I had some great conversations with both Anthony and Hadi who I absolutely adore and cannot wait until next pamper day. I will 💯 be purchasing another package for the two of us and would not think twice of going anywhere else!!!

I called last minute for massages and they were so accommodating!! The massage therapist I had “Tony” he was INCREDIBLE! hands down best massage I’ve ever had and I’ve been to a lot. Tony unlike a lot of massage therapists was consistent with his pressure from the beginning of the massage to the end. I have chronic back and shoulder pain to where I get headaches. He used amazing techniques no ones used before to get all my specific knots out. I got a deep tissue and I for the first time felt looser vs just relaxed. Tony was amazing and really listened to what I wanted. Highly recommend and will be coming back!!!

So I’ve been coming here for quite some time now, and must I say… THE BEST IN THE CITY!Anthony is a skilled esthetician! He has helped people with really bad skin problems! I wasn’t one of his extreme cases but I walked in with a problem. I never had a skin problem until I had a hormone imbalance, when I tell you a few visits with Anthony, he fixed me right up! I’m skin is clear and flowing again!He’s super awesome! He explains what he’s doing while he’s doing it! He explains the whole purpose behind it and ensures you that with time, it’ll get better! Every time I leave the salon, my skin is glowing! He is absolutely incredible! He is super easy to talk to and answers everyone one of your concerns! He truly is the best around! If you have skin problems, I’m telling you, his team that he trains is insane! He wasn’t there one day and sent me to Aubrey and she literally is a mini him! She was able to relate and had the same problem I did and she literally wrote out a little card for me on what she recommends!The facials from this salon are incredible and they know exactly what do prescribe!!I’ve also been there for their massages and when I mean BEYOND EXPECTATIONS, I truly mean it! Val did my massage and when I mean he’s incredible, he is the best!! He has strong big hands and knows exactly what to do! I mentioned a few concerns to him and he literally left me leaving the salon completely relaxed . He even specializes with people with medical issues and people who need therapeutic attention! His background experience leaves him at the top of his game, able to help any client with their concerns! His knowledge of the muscles really helps him me able to give the right about attention where needed! He has special techniques that will leave you amazed!The ambiance in the salon is incredible and they are super professional and accommodating! If you haven’t been here yet and thinking about it, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR FACIALS AND MASSAGES! They have a large menu as well, so I suggest taking a look at their services but after a spa day here, you feel completely revived and like a whole new person!

I just had my 2nd deep tissue massage with Tony and he just does such a good job. My back has so many knots and he’s able to really go after them without actually causing any pain, he just uses the perfect amount of pressure. It’s amazing. I’m unfortunately moving out of state, otherwise I’d start booking with him monthly bc of how much better it makes my back feel

Loved this place. Very clean and felt very inviting from the moment I walked in. This was my first time at the spa and was given a warm and friendly welcome. Aubrey was my consultant and gave me perfect recommendations on the type of facials she would for my age and skin type. Aubrey was great and gave me a excellent facial. It was a truly positive and relaxing experience. I will definitely go back to treat myself with more facials with Aubrey. Deon

My partner and I had great massages here on Sunday. Initially I had concerns in regards to booking and communication that happened but the overall experience with the massage and when we were in the spa was flawless. They ran behind but they upgraded us with back scrub which was an amazing addition. I had Val and he was great, sometimes deep tissue massage can be a little overwhelming but he made it seamless and fixed the issue with pain in my shoulder that I had for months now. My partner had Lynn and he was so impressed she was so thorough and even spent extra time to work on the issues with his back. We will definitely be back when in town!

Today was my first experience at this spa. I had a 90 minute, deep tissue massage with Val and it was incredible. I’ve had countless deep tissues in my lifetime, but I’ve never experienced one from a massage therapist as thorough as Val. He was careful, calculated and incredibly comprehensive. It was unmatched. Once over, he provided an incredibly detailed explanation of the work he did, what he uncovered and some suggestions based on his findings to help to continue to improve how my body feels. He was patient, detailed and had the utmost intent to do good by me as a client of his. He is extremely credible. I would highly recommend. I will undoubtedly be a loyal client of his moving forward.

It was my first time getting microdermabrasion and Lauren P did amazing job! She explained me the procedure, what to expect, how it is going to feel during and right after and what improvements Id see right away. She was really gentle during the procedure, guiding me through the steps. I felt very comfortable and relax, almost fell asleep. :) My skin feels amazing, I am booking another appointment with her as soon as I am done writing this. Highly recommend.

If you are in the Philadelphia area and looking to get a facial or massage this is the place to book. My husband and I were here for a short stay and I called last min to book a facial with Lauren for myself and massages for my husband and I. Anthony was so kind and was able to fit us in for a 60 min deep tissue with CBD with Val and Avvonlea. Best massages we have had in a while. We felt so relaxed when we left. Next time we are in Philly we will be back.

I will 1000% be back. Thank you Avvonlea!! And thank you Skincare Lounge SPA for a wonderful afternoon!

Booked a 90 minute Deep Tissue Massage with Val. Val is very knowledgeable when it comes to the body and its functions. Val is insightful and is trained in many different modalities which really helped out certain issues I was having. I came in feeling very tight and achy and left feeling amazing. Definitely a therapist who knows his craft.

The best facial I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough. I’ve been here multiple times and continue to go back. Lauren has given me good advice on skincare products that have worked on my skin and I still use. These are products that I don’t buy here so they are not benefiting. It’s just a great salon/spa w the best people. This past facial was better than any other I’ve had. Tori examined my skin, asked why I was getting a specific facial and offered recommendations that worked and were also incredibly enjoyable. I’ll always go here.

I had a lot of tension in my shoulders and quads. I called Skincare Lounge and they were able to fit me in on the same day for a deep tissue massage. Val was my masseuse and he was a literal lifesaver! The heated towel was *chefs kiss* to my tired muscles. The spa was very clean and serene. Only issue was the elevator is under maintenance and had to walk stairs to get to the third floor. Will be back 5/5!

I have never had a bad experience at this place. The moment you walk in you can feel a weight drop off you, one you may not have known you were carrying. The decor is relaxing. The fragrances are soothing. The staff is pleasant (I especially loved Linh and Anthony) and welcoming. The owners are dope as hell and have put soul and light in this space. The services they offer are top tier. The products are well known and high end. You will get your money’s worth here and then some. I look forward to experiencing what they come up with next. My Mother’s Day/birthday spa day has my skin and spirit glowing. I’m so glad I have this place to go to.

I started going to skin care lounge when I had neck and shoulder pain and needed a last minute massage, they had an opening. My pain has definitely been reduced since then.They have some great experienced staff who specialize in different treatments like massage or skin.The facial and skin treatments are awesome!

I started coming here leading up to a wedding of which I was in the party, and was taken care of by Lauren Phillips. I was so pleased with the improvements to my skin, I’ve been returning since. Lauren is always attentive to my main concerns, while also noticing things I might not. She’s given me great advice on my home care routine and I keep seeing improvements. I plan on continuing to come every so often for maintenance and scheduling with them is always a breeze, even if you’re not exactly sure what you want to have done. I highly recommend Skincare Lounge!!!

Review №112

I’ve got a few treatments here and while they were good, I would agree with other people on other reviews; they don’t have the correct listed prices on the website. You go for a treatment that has a certain cost and end up paying 20 or 30$ more on “fees” that I am not sure what they are (tax is not usually that high). I would say to just update the prices on the website with what they are actually going to charge so people don’t end up with surprises.Other than that, I have had good experiences with all the technicians that have worked on my skin.

Wow!!!! I was like beauty drunk after my facial. The beds they use are memory foam and the amount of massage I received for just a facial from Chris/Kris(?) was absolutely amazing. She knew exactly what I needed for my face and I ended up getting the microdermabrasion + LED mask! Her hands and pressure + friendliness and honesty were everything! She also did my underarms + Brazilian and WOW. I’m so happy I listened to these google reviews. I think I found my gal 🤩❤️. Thank you to the staff for having an awesome spa to get everything done at once. I’ll be back soon for a massage 💆🏻‍♀️! Chris/Kris... THANK YOU! I had the best day off in a LONG TIME. Just took a photo and I’m still glowing and letting all the products penetrate my skin overnight. I’m THRILLED GUYS!!!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Skincare Lounge Spa! I’ve had facials at several other spas before and my facial with Jamie is by far the best facial I’ve ever had. After my first facial there, I was hooked. I’ve gone back here for facials with Jamie and my skin has never looked better. I’ve seen a major difference in my skin since coming here. The service is impeccable, and Jamie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and caring. I always leave with glowing skin and feeling so relaxed and refreshed!

Val was amazing, as were the front desk staff. I was lucky enough to land a same-day appointment! When I called they talked with me about the benefits of different service types which was helpful in deciding what was best for me. As a woman, I had never had a massage from a male therapist and it was a concern, but Val was very informative, very professional and I actually prefer it because the pressure of the massage was perfect. I wish I lived in the area to visit regularly but if youre ever in Philly looking to relax and recharge, Skincare Lounge is a must!

It was my first time coming here for a massage—actually my first massage in Philly all together—and it was hands down the best massage I’ve ever gotten. My boyfriend said the same thing. He got the expert custom massage and I did Swedish and we both added a foot massage onto each of ours. I kid you not, I walked out of there feeling like I was walking on a cloud. Linh was incredible and worked her magic, highly recommend! This spa is in heart of center city so it’s super easy to get to, and it’s also incredibly clean and tranquil upon entering. I cannot wait to book my next spa or massage appointment. You can tell they really care about your full experience. 10/10!

Before and after having my knee surgery, he was always extremely careful during each massage. Thank you both!

I visited for my 3rd time and continue to receive great customer service & quality service from the team at Skincare lounge. Initially, I went with my sisters for a facial a while back and received the greatest facial from Anthony whom was also super informative and helpful with suggesting products to incorporate into my skincare regimen. I visited twice for a massage with Val & I am honestly blown away by how I’ve never received such impeccable, quality service elsewhere. I explained my problematic area that I have yet to get relief from for about a year & a few days later I felt 100% less strained. I would write a synopsis on why you should go, but I may run out of characters. I recommend Anthony & Val for your next visit.

Ive been going to Anthony for quite a while now... He was recommended to me by a co-worker about 1-2 years ago. Ive never gotten a Brazilian wax or underarms wax at all prior to him. When I made my first appointment with Anthony, I was very nervous and uncomfortable. Once I got there, he made both feelings disappear. He was very friendly, professional and quick. Hes such a sweet person! I dont live in Philly but I sure as hell take a 30 minutes commute just to go to him for my waxing needs. Cannot beat the price, atmosphere and professionalism.

I have spent so much time trying to find a perfect esthetician and the search is over!Tori knows what she’s doing! She has a unique technique that never gives me ingrown hairs (every other wax I get ingrown but not with Tori!) and makes my wax fast & painless. She is also flexible and will squeeze you in Mon-fri! Not to mention she is doll, always friendly and professional. Lastly, skincare lounge is affordable! Buy the wax package of 5 and it’s super cost effective! The staff is always friendly and the location is clean! HIGHLY recommend Tori for your waxing needs!

One day I randomly searched online for a masseur with immediate availability and luck had it that it happened to be here, and ended up with Val. Val is - hands down - the best masseur I have ever had the pleasure to have sessions with in Philly. He’s my go-to guy now. His massage skills are unparalleled (he like somehow can read your body like a book), and he introduced me to cupping, which has opened up a whole new world of therapy I didn’t know existed. He’s professional, extremely polite, and very knowledgeable and interesting to talk with if you like chatting during your sessions. I hesitated to write this because I selfishly don’t want to share him - Enjoy :)Additionally I love the overall space at the spa (very clean), and really enjoy interacting with Anthony the owner there too. He runs a good friendly place and is clearly invested in making sure the clients/customers are happy.

Skincare Lounge SPA was fantastic! I received a 75 minute massage with Val P, who gave the best massage Ive ever had. Not only did he listen to the problem areas I wanted him to address, he also spent extra time as he found additional knots/pressure points that needed attention. I feel like this review doesnt even begin to do Val justice. Ultimately, he had such a great sense of what my body needed and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I couldnt recommend him and Skincare Lounge more.

Ive been getting massages from Val P for a year. Suffering from 20 years of almost constant really gnarly, crunchy, muscle knots and neck/shoulder pain, I have never had a massage therapist actually be able to truly make me feel better... until going to him. After a massage, Ill leave feeling human, comfortable and mobile again instead of being in chronic pain. His massages are not formulaic; he really listens and works on the areas needed the most. I swear, Val is some kind of muscle knot and tension slaying wizard. Hands down he is the best massage therapist I have ever been to. The highest recommendation.

My boyfriend got me a gift card to this spa for a deep tissue massage. The first time I went, I had Justin who was great with what he did, however he missed some crucial parts of my body with the massage. I wasnt going to complain, but when the director asked how my massage was afterwards, I expressed my disappointment and told him that Justin completely missed my legs. The director was so accommodating and offered a complimentary massage to make up for it. I then had Val who was AMAZING. I get massages once a month and he was easily one of the best. 10/10 would recommend Val and this spa in general. They are the best.

This past weekend I had the Escape package which consisted of a facial and a massage, each 1 hour. It was my first time getting a facial and I loved it. My esthetician was Anika (I hope I spelled that right). Once I told her it was my first time, she was excellent at letting me know what products she was using and its benefits. She did an excellent job and my skin looks fantastic! I had Val for my massage and he was just as excellent. Took his time, was very relaxing. My only problem with my afternoon there was the robes were just a little small. I dont know if they had a one size fits all situation, or I should have just asked for a larger one. But walking through the halls from facial to massage and then to the locker room felt a little exposing due to the tiny robe. Robe issue aside, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend.

Clover made sure to listen to my skin concerns, and addressed each one. He went out of his way to explain each product he was using, and how each product would target my specific skin concerns. He was extremely pleasant during the entire facial. The music he was playing was beautiful. The facial massage almost put me to sleep, in a good way. When he got to the extractions he was very gentle but efficient. I took before and after pictures and the difference in the size of my pores before and after the facial/extractions was astronomical. I said to myself afterwards, pores? Where? I came out with a brilliant glow and feeling on top of the world. Thank you for the amazing service, Clover.

I’m so happy Anthony has his own place! I’ve been a customer of Anthony’s since he was located in Jason Matthews Salon. I’ve seen him very regularly for all waxing and would trust no one else in the city. He’s very calming, professional, and not once have I ever had an ingrown hair from any waxing service. That’s someone who knows what he’s doing and truly an artist. Very personable and lovable! I highly, highly recommend him for ALL your professional skin needs.

Best wax in the city for the price! Anthony has two elegant little back rooms within a hair salon, him and the rest of the staff are always friendly. He achieves that nice mix of professional and casual that put me at ease for my Brazilian. Ive been back several times. Its soft wax which everyone says is not the best but Ive never had any major issues with it (nothing a good exfoliation cant remedy, even with my dark thick hair) Hes also always included my belly happy trail which other places charge extra for. That and little perks like a pillow to squeeze and scheduling over text really sold me. Would and have recommended to friends.

Val and Tori are both very professional and highly skilled at their craft. I felt very comfortable during my visits. The staff is very professional and also makes sure your experience is personal as well. I will definitely return and continue to recommend.

Popped in before the 2022 Philly marathon to get a pre-race massage. Massage therapist was amazing — she targeted the right areas with the right pressure. The disappointing aspect of my visit happened at checkout when I was charged almost an additional $20 in taxes and fees. I asked the therapist what was included in the “fees” charge, she was unsure, but I believe the owner or the manager was sitting nearby and stated that the $12 in fees were due to the price of things being high/expensive right now. I was shocked to hear that this additional amount was not just simply added to the actual, posted website amount of $105 for a one hour massage, instead this spa is seemingly misleading folks of the real price of the massage - $115-$118. As a consumer, I would rather know the actual cost and not be hit with a oh its because of COVID or inflation “fee” after I receive my service. Hopefully, the website prices will be accurately changed.

First time going and I had a fantastic experience! They set a relaxing ambience as soon as you walk through the door. Val gave an amazing massage, definitely recommend him. Looking forward to scheduling my next! 🙂👍For any other first timers like me its super easy to set an appointment on their website. They will even send you reminder text and email. The spa is between Distante and Oyster House.Once you walk in, you take an elevator to the third floor and voilà you get checked in. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️(There is literally a parking garage across street which made it so much more convenient)

Overall the spa/massage experience was a 10. We booked a couples massages which I thought we’d be together. I was wrong the facility doesn’t have the space to accommodate couples massages together. We had to have separate massage rooms. After I was done was got dressed in the massage room then taken to a locker room to meet my partner. She was escorted with her clothes basket to get dressed and relax after her massage to the same locker as me.

Ive been going to Anthony for about 18 months. He is super friendly, quick, and a true professional at his job. I love the convenience of texting him for an appointment. The salon is clean and everyone is really friendly. Ive been to a lot of salons in Philly and Anthony is by far my favorite. On Wednesdays and Thursdays a Brazilian wax is only $30! You cant beat the price or the speed of the service. You are literally in and out in less than 15 minutes! I highly recommend Anthony for any of your waxing or skin care needs.

I got the hydrating facial yesterday. I have had facials at many different places in different cities and countries. My impression was that prices overall are good, but the facial I got was okay. I kept emphasizing to the aesthethician that my skin is sensitive because I just got off Accutane (also wrote this in the customer fill out form), but she was exfoliating and scrubbing my face SO HARD.. Also she put such a small amount of moisturizer at the end (which is bad especially after exfoliating) that my face felt so bad afterwards. My face is still red and irritated from the facial right now :( Her massage was great and relaxing, however. And again, good prices, so if your skin is low maintanence and you are on a budget, I would recommend it. But I would rather pay more to get a better care myself.

About ten years ago, I had an absolutely awful experience at a spa (not this one!!!!) in which I was fat-shamed and mocked until I fled in tears. Ever since then, I am extremely anxious when going to a new location for any type of personal care service because I never want to be put in that situation again. Though anxious, I have wanted microdermabrasion for awhile now, and have read a lot of great reviews about this particular place. So I booked.Can I just say, it was incredible. The Skincare Lounge is the most beautiful, serene, clean, fragrant place I have ever been, and everyone was so nice and professional. I didnt once feel uncomfortable. In fact, there were times where I was so blissfully comfortable that I am pretty sure I dozed off on the table. Anika was amazing, she talked me through the whole process and worked literal magic on my 40-year-old, sun-damaged face. For an hour-plus, no stress existed, it was just spa music and the scent of eucalyptus and marinating in skincare. I know its too soon to see effects, as it was only yesterday, but I feel positively glowing already. Thank you all so much for your delightful service!

My first visit to Skincare Lounge; it’s soothing, elegant and cleanly. Such a nice vib. I had a wonderful European French facial from Lauren, who has a wonderful touch. My skin looks and feels great. And Lauren gave me great advice for skincare in between facials. She is now my go-to esthetician

Incredible facial by Linh! I was visiting Philly and my hotel, although posh, was charging a heck of a lot for a facial and the reviews weren’t even that reassuring. Thanks to Google 😉 I found this gem. They are fixing the elevator so the getting there experience was sketchy, but I kept thinking of the reviews. How could they be wrong? They weren’t. I’m here to share - go up the shady stairs. It’s worth it.I opted for a cleansing facial plus microdermabrasion. Linh did such a great job!! I’m seriously considering going back to Philly just for another facial but that’s not feasible, but the thought still passes my mind. I also got my brows done/fixed. I’m very happy with my skin and even brows. This place is such a find. Plus at the end of my appointment, I wasn’t sold any expensive creams, etc. Instead Linh wrote out a list of products in all price points that I can buy on my own. I purchased a few already and my skin has not looked this great in a while!

I just got a Microdermabrasion facial done at Skin Care Spa by Anthony. Good ambience, nice place, friendly staff. I loved their coffee😁 Anthony is great. He is friendly and an amazing person. He analyzed my skin and recommended products for my skin.Facial was rejuvenating, my skin feels amazing and clear. Anthony performed extractions on my face that didn’t hurt. It’s totally worth visiting and Anthony deserves all the appreciation. Would highly recommend👍🏻👍🏻 I used a Yelp coupon to get 15% off, as it was my first time here. Coupon works only for first visits.

Get in the elevator and go straight to the third floor. I booked an appointment for a back and shoulder wax over the phone and they were able to fit me in at very short notice. Walking in, I felt instant relaxed and at ease. Kayleigh checked me in at reception and was super helpful, professional and chatty. My technician was Anika and I found her also to be very professional and efficient. I will definitely come back to this place whenever I’m in Philly!

My husband gifted me one of their pamper packages for birthday. I was looked after by Aubrey for ful body scrub, body cocoon(1h) and facial (45 minutes). Aubrey is a gem. My skin felt rejuvenated. Then I was offered a glass of champagne and chocolates. Later Sothia gave me massage. Her hands worked wonder on the palm of my hands and feet. I also got sinus relief head massage(1h). My husband told me that he added the sinus relief for 15 minutes and foot massage 15 minutes to the main package. Total time for massage was supposed to be 1-1/2 h but was done in an hour. So I think you dont have to add on those extra packages because theyll be combined with the main package.

The BEST Brazilian I’ve ever gotten in my life. Anthony did a great job. Super fast and overall, pretty painless. He was friendly, made me feel comfortable, and made me laugh during what is usually an awkward experience. It was also extremely affordable, compared to a lot of other places. This is the only place I’ll be going for a wax from now on.

Updating this review after the owner had reached out to me with a solution to my issue and had great customer follow-up.This place is great and the owner/customer service are awesome. I came in for the men’s back and shoulder wax. Place was well kept, people were nice and prices more than fair. The wax was quick and virtually painless. I was very pleased with the initial results of the wax all the hairs were pulled well.I had an unfortunate bad reaction to the treatment that left me covered in in-grown hairs. The reason for this is unsure as this only the 2nd wax ever. I had originally filed a complaint about this, I was very unpleased with the look.The owner called me personally and explained all the reasons this may have happened and why a wax might not fit my body type. Could have been from the excessive heat/sweating that day or improper prep/maintenance on my part. Anyway, he met with me personally, gave me a complimentary product to help solve my issue and went over options/directions for the future to improve results.Very impressed with how the experience was in general and the follow-up by the owner. Just unfortunate about the bad reaction. Would return and recommend.

I regularly get massages (monthly) and I have to say, my massage with Val was the best I’ve ever had! The whole staff was accommodating even though I was running late due to traffic. I rushed filling in my paperwork to be respectful of everyone’s time but somehow Val knew exactly where my problem areas were (neck and upper back where I hold my tension) without telling him, and worked it all out. The location is super convenient with a paid parking lot across the street on the corner, just a few doors up from their location. From walking in the building, to entering the spa on the 3rd floor everything was aesthetically pleasing. The rooms are private, accommodating (hooks, cubbies, and a mirror which I loved), updated, tranquil, and the lighting is the most soothing I’ve experienced. The best part is that the menu is diverse and extremely affordable. I will definitely be returning and am looking forward to exploring their menu!

What can I say about SkinCare Lounge and Spa…?🤔 I’ve been coming to get serviced since Anthony was located on 16th and Chestnut since 2016. After that I followed suit when he moved to Sansom Street. I’ve always received top of the line care. I refuse to go anywhere else. The entire staff is amazing.Happy Holidays guys!
