Went for the first time today to NOW massage at Midtown Raleigh. My therapist was Destiny and she was amazing! Unique set up and it was a welcomed new atmosphere. I would highly recommend! Quiet, waves at the ocean music and white noise. Very relaxing. They cater to you like a vacation spa. ❤️❤️
I have been to NOW Massage Midtown twice, and both times my provider (Brittney) has been great! I have been dealing with some back pain, and she seemed knowledgeable, and was able to address my concerns. Its a very calming and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
Having not had a massage or stretched my muscles in some time, this was by far one of the best experiences I had. Destiny was both attentive and responsive to my body and spent the needed time at points that she felt required the additional attention. As a licensed professional myself, I let her do what she felt was best based on our talk beforehand and everything was done exceptionally. I highly recommend both The NOW and Destiny. Having had professional massages in the past, this ranks up as one of the best ones considering I am a more stocky and muscular kind of guy that benefits from this type of massage. Will continue to go back no doubt.
Immediately welcomed by friendly staff, beautiful aesthetics and calming scents. My massage therapist was wonderful and the space was inviting. I thought the pricing was quite high, but this may be industry-wide, as I believe the price of massages has gone up in general. Id still come back!
I’ve been a monthly member for about 5 months now and I love it! Highly recommend Lydia if you’re looking for firm pressure or deep tissue work - she’s amazing and is always very communicative before and after the massage. It’s a pretty unique set up with a large room sectioned off into individual little boho tents. The vibes are very relaxing with dim lighting, crashing waves audio, and cozy fabrics. A big perk for me is that it’s a quiet experience (because of the shared space) so there’s no pressure to socialize while you relax. Last thing - the people there are so nice and always happy to help and answer questions! 🫶🏻
My therapist Akeria was awesome! I cant say enough about this experience as a first time guest. Heres the highlights...smells amazing, linen partitions and wooden doors made this place feel like a spa at resort in the Maldives. The staff is above and beyond the words of friendly!!!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. We saw returning customers coming and they sounded like family the way they talked to each other. I would easily recommend this place for a massage. They also use warming tables and if you havent had a warming table before, you have been cheated all your life. I melted into relaxation on the table with the aromatherapy at the start of the session. Go to THE NOW, its worth it!
This was the best massage experience I’ve ever had. I was in Raleigh for a basketball tournament and needed a massage on my back in order to continue playing. The staff fit me into their schedule same day and were incredibly nice from start to finish. Highly recommend. Thank you!
I’m very impressed with Now Massage. Annie is an excellent therapist and the customer service is knowledgable & outstanding! The owner (Stacy, I believe) answers the phone and is a delight to speak with. She actually said to reach out to her anytime with questions or concerns which as a member I greatly appreciated. Nowadays no one seems to care if you are satisfied or not so I really appreciated this personal touch. I also love the serenity, sounds and total vibe of the spa…it’s heavenly!
I don’t normally write reviews. I also don’t normally get massages. The place itself is so cute! The vibe is immaculate and the boho aesthetics creates an inviting and calming environment; it’s perfect for massages. This was my second massage in my life. Sarah was absolutely phenomenal. Super communicative before the session, followed through during, and very caring after! Sarah has a kindness about her that just feels safe and gentle. Thank you, Sarah for the best, most relaxing 50min of my life.
Went there for my birthday first time and nor sure if it be another one at this spa. Receptionist appeared to not be thrilled at what she does. She was not rude but seen much better customer service at other spas. The massage therapist was cali abs when I whisper to her about my day. She stated it was no talking which I never heard about in Any of encounters with other massage therapist in other spas. Not one person.even said happy birthday. Spa experience is about being serviced and just did not experience that in this particular spa. Just my two cents the massage wad OK but if u looking for the whole experience feeling suggest going elsewhere
This was my first ever massage and it was amazing! It was like Jeannetta was reading my mind as to what areas I needed attention to with the perfect amount of pressure! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Beautiful facility. Thank you so much and I will definitely return!
I was totally relaxed by the end of my session…nothing but gratitude for Angel. She was excellent in how she worked through my problem areas. The atmosphere made me feel like I was on a retreat. I will definitely be back!
I came for a couples massage which was specified when booking and again the day before when they called to confirm. No one informed me they don’t actually do couples massages. They just can give us both an individual appointment at the same time. Since we found that out upon arrival, we figured we would still just get our massages and now we know for next time. I was very specific at ordering a deep tissue massage for my partner, but just a relaxation massage for myself. I have an autoimmune disease and lots of inflammation and tenderness so I did not want anything therapeutic or with too much pressure. the therapist that I was paired with gave a deep tissue massage. By 6 hours after the massage I felt bruised badly and very tender. It is now 3 days later and my upper back, neck, and chest are still extremely sore and painful. Definitely not the experience I was hoping for. I feel bad even leaving the review because she was lovely and accommodating, the space was clean and relaxing and my partner’s massage was excellent. But, this is my honest experience and it should not be this way.
With a body full of tension on my upper back I went there.First of all very nice ,clean and quiet place and very nice and friendly staff.Then I got 50 min massage with AmandaShe did great 👍 👌 👏Definitely recommend 👌 👍 👏
Amazing massage! Destiney was in tune with my body and knew when to apply and release pressure by my movements and breathing. I will return and most likely become a member.
Jimmy is AMAZING! One of the best massages I’ve ever gotten and I’m a massage therapist myself and have gotten plenty before. 10/10 highly recommend!
Had the best time at this cute and aesthetically pleasing location! They accommodated my bachelorette party of 7 girls on short notice. We all enjoyed our massage and will definitely be coming back. Big shout out to Samarr who made this appointment happen for us! He helped relieve some of the bachelorette party planning for me and was so personable! Also the owner came out and introduced her self and gave us all eye masks! She was very sweet and I think it speaks volumes of how she runs her business to go out of her way like that! Thanks again for a great time.
I had a 80 min massage with Savannah and I had an amazing time. She was super sweet, comforting and made sure to focus in on my tougher spots. Will 100% be going back for her specifically and you guys should too! Feeling super relaxed and ready for an afternoon nap!!
Everything about the Now massage experience is fabulous. Very professional staff, beautiful and calm environment calm and the massage. Therapist are wonderful. I appreciate Akerria!!
I’ve been going to the now for over a year now and highly recommend. The membership is well worth it if you go frequently.
Highly recommend! I just visited for the first time -- such a beautiful, clean space. Highly recommend Isaiah as well -- I got to work with him and he was so helpful as I shared info about my injuries. He clearly knows what hes doing!
Beautiful experience. Visited from Charlotte and really wish I could have joined the membership! Definitely worth going more than once!
I am in town for work, and my amazing mentor scheduled me for a massage here. I was booked with Sierra. And all I can say is magical. I am a hairstylist, and she asked what pressure was best before starting and where to focus. And she was so thoughtful. I could tell she understood anatomy and what would benefit me. I am sad I cannot go back before I head back home.
I love the atmosphere! It was quiet, warm, & peaceful. The epitome of zen! I will be back :) Jalen was extremely professional and did an amazing job working out the pain in my shoulders.
I’ve been living in Raleigh for 29 years and the NOW truly is something special. Seldom do you find somewhere as clean, relaxing, with incredible atmosphere and staff, that you can book within the week! I opted for “The Stretch”- an 80 minute sports recovery massage. The moment I walked back into the open concept parlor, I felt like I was transported to the seaside in Mexico at dark. The sound of waves crashing as you’re having your massage creates optimal relaxation. The massage itself was so incredible I booked a membership on the spot. RALEIGH- you HAVE to check out the midtown location of the NOW massage!
Amanda is an outstanding massage therapist & is wonderful at deep tissue! I’ll continue with my membership just for her services!
My experience was amazing. The girl that did mymassage was super nice and respectful. I love the vibe of the place. I Absolutely recommend this place.
Прекрасный интерьер, приятный запах, шум волн во время массажа, улыбчивые девушки на ресепшене и профессиональные массажистки. Сервис 10/10. Путешествую по миру и часто в разных странах посещаю массаж, но этот салон пока что лучший из всех, где я была. Буду ходить теперь только сюда🫱🏽🫲🏿(Translated by Google)Beautiful interior, pleasant smell, the sound of waves during a massage, smiling girls at the reception and professional masseuses. Service 10/10. I travel around the world and often go to massages in different countries, but this salon is by far the best Ive ever been to. I will only go here now🫱🏽🫲🏿
As a licensed massage therapist myself, this was hands down one of the best massages I’ve ever had! The facility is extremely comfortable and cozy, very modern. The staff is amazing! I had Brittany for my massage, she is one of the best LMTs I have had! Definitely check this place out!
Angel was great. Massages were on point and the wave sounds were soothing.
Had a massage done by Annie! My first message done here, and I’m so pleased with my service. She made me comfortable and took 89% of my back pain away! I’m blown away, how wonderful I feel! Definitely will be coming back, and book with her!
Had a massage done here today and it was absolutely wonderful! When I walked into the boutique it smelled amazing. I should have bought their signature candle! The staff was extremely nice and helpful throughout my entire experience! I loved the cleanliness of this place as well. Even the bathroom was nice and clean! If you are thinking about getting a massage I would highly recommend this place! Would definitely come back when I get another opportunity.
First visit was excellent! Derrick was professional, considerate, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure to meet my needs while providing a great experience. I got The Now 80 minute massage with optional enhancements of deep tissue and heat therapy. I have chronic tension in my neck and shoulders that leads to building up knots in my back, and I am feeling a drastic improvement. It didnt take much (or any) convincing to sign up for a membership, so Im looking forward to my next appointment next month and trying more enhancement varieties ☺️
I was pretty skeptical to go to a chain for a massage but the setting provides the ambience I like. The pricing is a little gimmicky with the standard price being high, and ‘membership’ making it a bit more reasonable, but it has made me stick to a monthly massage so it’s worked out well.The big room with everyone in it is a little odd and makes it hard to give any feedback once you’re in there, but after 3 visits I’ve never been bothered by anyone coming or going - you really don’t hear it.All that to say the massages here are different. I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but it’s literally the best massage I’ve ever had. From resorts in Mexico to spas in Asheville, to anything in between I’ve never had a massage that has made me want to book with the masseuse again. Not that anything was wrong with them, they were just fine. Coming here was borderline life changing LOL, and every person I’ve brought with me has walked out with the same feeling - best massage ever. Selfishly, I don’t want to share who I book with so I can still find availability but Holly is fantastic.
I recently visited the NOW Massage for the first time and had the pleasure of having Derrick as my Therapist. The experience was wonderful. The overall setup of the therapy rooms is not your typical, but a pleasant surprise was the open room concept. The open area is soothing and dimly lit. I particularly liked the overhead sound of the beach wave sounds playing throughout which added a sense of peace and calmThanks Derrick!
Came here for my first massage! I love the vibe of this place and how quiet it is. I prefer a quiet/silent appointment and this is the perfect place for that. My massage was great, and the next day I woke up feeling FABULOUS
Great business. I go to Sarah specifically and can’t recommend her enough. She is super knowledgeable about injuries and does wonders! Literally bed ridden after a gym injury for a week and Sarah fixes me in one session! Unbelievingly talented. See her and tip well!
This is the perfect place to receive a massage. The ambiance is great and the location is beautiful! In addition, Jeannetta was absolutely AMAZING! I cannot wait to come back for my next massage. I will be booking again soon!
I love the rustic feel of this place. There is a large room separated by a tent-like structure to give you a private area. White noise plays in the room. Not great if you like to talk as its a very hush hush environment but overall a nice environment, good massage for me next day availability. Would have liked an option to add on facial or hand or foot massage but overall the massage and environment was great.
First time getting a “real” massage and it was exactly what I needed & more. Awesome job Bre, thank you! 🙌
Brittany is absolutely amazing! You can tell that she knows what she is doing, she perfectly traces the exact outline of the muscles and you can feel her respond and alter her massage based off what she is feeling. It is not just a cookie cutter massage! The whole experience is great! Beautiful facility (even the bathroom is beautiful) and lovely welcoming staff! Absolutely love the experience and love Brittany!
By the far the best place I’ve ever been. Have been getting deep tissue work for 10+ years and this is my new favorite spot. From the ambience, to the quality of work. Can’t say enough good things!
The first experience was marvelous.. The second experience the massage therapist was not that good.. Not sure if it makes a difference what gender gives you the massage but the deep tissue massage was much better the first time
Absolutely wonderful. I LOVED my massage here.***Editing to say Ive now been back about 3 or 4 times and have enjoyed myself each visit. The massage therapists are super knowledgeable and communicative. The massage beds are HEATED (Im part of the always cold club so this is a super plus form me.Also, the overall establishment is BEAUTIFUL and always super clean. 💗
Scheduled a massage for a few hours later the same day and had no complications. Staff was kind and welcoming, and the space was beautiful and relaxing. I’d never been to a place like this but it is easy, affordable, and I will be recommending to my friends.
The atmosphere and customer service was great. I’d like to give a shoutout to Elijah and Sarah for their thoughtfulness and reciprocative, both my partner Eka and I feel brand new :)
This was my second time getting a massage at The NOW and I have to say that Lydia is amazing. One of the best massages I have ever had. The staff is very welcoming and friendly as well. If you have not checked it out yet, I would strongly recommend doing so. You will not regret it!
The NOW is a clean and open-styled atmosphere. This is not the place for a massage if you are looking for quiet and relaxing from the moment you walk in. The waiting room is very modern, with a long wooden bench to sit on while waiting. It is brightly lit, and there was pop music playing. When I went, there were two young women gossiping to one another at the front desk and I could hear every part of their conversation. I asked if there was a quieter space for me to wait, and they informed me there wasnt. From the beginning, the waiting room is a lot on the senses. My massage therapist was very kind and sensitive to the fact it was overwhelming in the waiting room. I believe she tried her best to make it a calming and safe place in the open concept massage room. However, I left with the left side of my neck feeling pulled and it has been painful and stiff since.
My masseuse was Sarah U. and she did an AMAZING job! She listened to my concerns and used the perfect amount of pressure in addressing them. Hands down, the best massage I have ever received!
The NOW Massage Midtown is a total vibe. Very relaxing atmosphere and my massage was outstanding. If you are need of a great spa spot check em out!
I walked in with a lot of back pain + soreness and walked out feeling rested and rejuvenated. Its a lovely space with a great team. They made me feel welcome and comfortable. Thanks, Isaiah!
The place is tranquil and serene. Lots of little touches, lovely soaps, and lotions , heated table -healing music -I have had two massage therapists so far Brandon and Brittany and they were both excellent. A consistent positive and pleasant experience 👏
Absolutely love this place. My massage therapist was kind and amazing. The atmosphere in there is what got me. They have mastered the art of relaxation definitely will come back.
I always have a great experience here. I have seen Brandon and Kazia and they were both wonderful and listened to my concerns. The owner Stacy is amazing and gifted me a free Hemp Calm Balm upgrade when she heard I was having a lot of shoulder pain (Highly Recommend). The space is beautiful and very relaxing. If youre on the fence about getting a massage try it and you will be hooked!
Had an amazing massage. It was a gift from someone. When asked about the tip I told them she would call and tell them an amount to charge since it was her card linked to it and that wasn’t my place. She texted me after the massage and they charged her for a tip which she never agreed to. Don’t think I’ll ever be going there again. She would have tipped the normal 20% , if they didn’t add there own tip without her permission. Hadnt even been 20 minutes since I left. She didn’t even get a chance to tell them an amount to add which was extremely rude. She paid for the massage for me a tip is extra based on how I feel she did. Don’t waste your time going there
Removed a comment intended for another location(Cary)I called this location and they were booked for the day I wanted. Polite and very helpful.I hope the gift card and membership isnt the same as the Cary location.
Not worth the money. With 100% certainty, my girlfriend could do a way better job. That’s sad to say seeing how she’s never professionally massaged anyone versus these folks who do it for a living. Not recommended!
Love this place every time I go. Everybody is really good what they do and very professional. The atmosphere reminds me of massages in cancun at my timeshare. Nice to just disappear and get away to paradise for 80mins a month!!
Not my ideal place to go for a massage. The open concept can be distracting for those wanting complete solitude. You change by your table and that was not the best experience (trying to dress/undress in silence). Make sure you confirm prices, as they vary. You don’t want to be surprised at the end! I will say that the place smells wonderful!
Went to The Now yesterday for the first time and WOW! I went in with pretty severe shoulder/neck pain from working out/stress/tech neck/all the things and at the end of the 25 minute session, Im fairly certain my shoulders were at least 3 inches lower. The facility was impeccably clean, the staff was extremely professional, and I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Will definitely be back!
The staff and ambience are both amazing. The front desk ladies were very friendly and helpful. We were also able to talk with one of the owners and she was super nice. Nadia gave a great deep tissue massage and was also very friendly. Well definitely be back.
Loved my experience! The inside is beautiful and peaceful, the staff are all amazing! Never thought I’d be a massage kind of girl but now I need at least one a month!
Janeen was absolutely wonderful. First time getting the Stretch massage which was more sports massage focused but also so relaxing, honest to god one of the bed massages I’ve gotten. Thank you, Janeen!!
First time here and loved it! I was a little skeptical because it’s a chain but there are so many small touches that are really enjoyable. I saw Nadia and she was excellent. Joined the membership immediately! Can’t wait to go back.
This was my first time and I loved the whole experience. Sarah was amazing, her hands were super soft like feathers. I didnt want to leave, I will be back and bringing friends with.
I been here a couple of times and have had different therapist as well I have always had a great experience they are very skilled at what they do I had Nadia this last time as like usually my massage was amazing! I had an 80 minute with scalp and heat therapy just amazing they don’t have a relaxation lounge but it’s super cute I love the simple decor that they have.
Not very good place for relaxation. Massage therapist didn’t know pressure points or proper technique. Me and my wife feel the same. Even after telling my concern about my back stiffness and muscle pain massage was not given for that body part. I wasted my money!
Staff was all very friendly and my friend and I really enjoyed our massages. Super relaxing, definitely will be back!
By far, the best massage experience Ive ever had! Everything from the staff checking me in, to the ambience of the curtained room, to my therapist was outstanding. Most definitely will be returning!
Sarah, who gave me my massage, is super great and very attentive. I love how welcoming the staff is when you’re in the lobby. The process is seamless and really allows you to relax.
This place was amazing, everybody was super nice and welcoming. Ive never had a massage before and they made it such a simple and stress free process. Ill be coming back next month for sure!
My first massage at The Now in Raleigh was wonderful! It is a very trendy and beautiful place and it smells wonderful (fragrance of candle). Breanna was my massage therapist and she was fantastic . . . gentle yet strong! I bought one of their membership packages and will be going back monthly to see Breanna! You should check it out!
Definitely recommended Now Massage. I had many massages but this one was the best. Highly recommend Jalen she was awesome.
Akeria D performed my massage and she was phenomenal! Her pressure was spot on, her technique was beyond relaxing and felt like I was floating on air during and after. Thank you
I always look forward to my appointments at Now Massage. The atmosphere is calming and the staff is always incredibly kind and accommodating .I highly recommend scheduling with Brandon. He is the therapist I currently see and he is fantastic!
Love my massage with Grace Lynn! (I hope I spelled her name correctly!). Purchased a membership in commitment to my self care and will return next month!
Angel was great! Can’t wait to book again !
Went today for the NOW 50 massage. Check in process was easy and the place was beautiful! I had Ashley and she was great! Definitely recommend The NOW Massage!
Awesome experience.. Great customer serviceit was very relaxing and comfortable..Highly recommend !!!
Brittany was amazing and informative. Heat therapy helped my neck. Will definitely be back and Brittany will be my go to. My Wife and I love the now and you will too.
I was not satisfied with the massage and also I have asked for 25 mins massage + scalp renewal paying extra $10 but I get over all 20 mins massage and also when they doing they didnt even remove my hair band/hair tie ... without removing hair tie I was wondering how I the scap massage they gonna give and I was feeling uncomfortable in my scalp massage and I removed hair tie then they started doing massage ... me and my husband paid $150 but we didnt even feel 5% satisfaction for that money..
It was my first time coming here , and the moment I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff . The aroma there is perfect . Loved loved loved my massage as well , I would highly recommend to anybody
Breanna was amazing and I enjoyed her aura and experience! Overall the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. From check-in to checkout.
Janeen was amazing! I love everything about this place. The ambiance the staff and the experience! I can’t wait to get my membership and come back again!
The BEST Massage Ever!! Location Is Very Convenient! Staff Is Amazing! Environment/ Space Is Amazing! Great Vibes! Great Place To Unwind! Highly Recommended!!
Thanks a lot. I felt soo refreshed and powerful after getting full massage. Even interior design maked me relax. I highly recommend 👌 this place for all ppl who likes massage and relaxation
Wonderfully relaxing massage experience with Lydia. Attention to detail of changing pressure needs and even gave suggestions to prevent future shoulder tightness.
Demario gave the best TMJ massage
Jalen was awesome! Take the time for some self care and go visit. Great spot.
Excellent staff and services. I left that massage very relaxed and sleepy 😊
Shout out to Janine. Shes a healer. All rested and relaxed. The place is modern and clean, and offers a uniquely beautiful setting. I recommend.
Kazia was absolutely amazing. I sprung for a full 80 min massage with deep tissue add on for a birthday gift to myself—so worth it. I feel so much better.
Do yourself a favor and book a massage at The Now! I’ve been waiting patiently for it to open and it was well worth the wait! I had their signature “the now” 80min massage with Alex and he was fabulous!
This place is just so relaxing. Was able to book a last-minute massage the same day. I had Brandon, who was great!
LOVED. Super clean and everyone was nice. Kazia did amazing it was my first time at NOW and I will be back!!
My wife went here for a prenatal message. When I picked her up she said she felt like she was walking on a cloud.10 of 10 would recommend
Destiny was the best! Great spa! Wonderful experience!
Love the atmosphere and the massage. Ready for the next one.
Beautiful setup and the massage was yhe best Ive had in years. Id choose it even over umstead if we are comparing just the massage.
I’ll be back very soon I recommend them to anyone
Great customer service and staff is awesome
Such an amazing experience.e and and my mom went and it was an amazing experience Kasia and Savannah were awesome .The atmosphere is lovely
Do something good for yourself today and make an appointment. A place to rest, be quiet and rejuvenate.
Love love love the vibe in here. It was an extremely relaxing environment, felt like I was at the beach. I got the “gua sha” add on which I also really enjoyed.
Jessica gave one of the best deep tissue massages i’ve ever had - wish I were local so I could come back!
Bright my son here on a Sunday for just a 25 minute massage . Great experience would definitely return
Very relaxing atmosphere, great massage therapist, in my experience. Jessica gave me a deep tissue and it was very rejuvenating
Loved every bit of it. Excellent environment and masseuse. I’ll be back.
Everyone there was super nice, and the massage was great.
Love deep tissue with Ashley abs Nadia! My fav massage place hands down! ❤️
