I’ve had two massages here with Gigi and both were phenomenal. Earlier this week she recommended seeing Morgan for a deeper, sports massage because I was having severe lower back pain from working out/having a previous injury. I went to see Morgan today and left feeling like I had a new back! I actually wasn’t in pain sitting in the car driving home, which is a first. Can’t wait to visit them both again so I can prioritize adding massages into my self-care routine!

I have tried several places since I moved to Wilmington several months ago. However they were mediocre at best and didn’t address my issues. I just had a massage yesterday at Relax. What a wonderful experience. The massage was just what I needed. I will definitely make this my go to place for my regular massages. Abbie is the best.

Phenomenal place. The staff is all so nice, the spaces are clean and very nicely decorated. My spouse and I got the 90min couples massage and it was perfect (thank you Jack and Maryanne!). Will absolutely be coming again and would highly recommend for anyone like me with chronic pain and spine injuries.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a facial from Isabella and I am truly hooked! I met Isabella at Relax Massage Therapy & Skin Care grand re-opening event and immediately was drawn to her expertise and kindness. She took the time to listen to my skincare concerns and tailored the facial to address my specific needs.For the record I have received one facial in my lifetime so this was fairly a new experience for me! The facial itself was heavenly. The products they used were of the highest quality, and her technique was both gentle and effective. Not only that, the products themselves deliver an exceptional sensory experience in the delightful scents! Look no further for your skin care needs!

Gigi is AMAZING!! The most relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating massage ever! She asked about problem areas, used the requested peppermint oil, and applied perfect pressure. This was my first time and will hands down be routine forward.

I made an appointment for a massage that my daughters had gotten me a gift card and it turned out through some confusion with the website or phone number that the gift card was for a different spa. And even though I had been in touch with the employees the entire time and it clearly was not my fault. They still charged me for half a cancellation policy even though I was in communication with them the whole time. This is outrageously ridiculous and unfair. I highly recommend do not work with them.

I had a massage with Gigi while visiting Wrightsville Beach that made my vacation even better! I appreciated that she took time to check in beforehand to ask about my goal for the session, she made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and I walked out feeling so relaxed. Thank you, Gigi!

Very pleasant experience. Relaxing. Nice massage without it being too rough. Allison was great. Just the right touch. I’ll definitely be back. I’ll do 90 min next time. Reasonably priced and nice atmosphere with privacy.

Loved the Service and engaging staff. My wife and I always have a #treatyoselfday on vacation, and a massage is always a part of the package. If we’re ever back vacationing in this area, you can bet we’ll come back here to Relax!!

Review №13

I gave my boyfriend a gift card to Relax! For his first massage. Unfortunately, Chrissy as his massage therapist was not a great experience. Chrissy seemed disinterested and lacked effort during the session. He says that the money was not worth it. Overall, he was highly disappointed with the service provided. Chrissy put light pressure and would take multiple long pauses. She barely gave him a massage, it was more of frequent pauses & simple touch..no constant massage. This is the first time I’m leaving a negative review but I believe he could’ve had a way better relaxing experience that he deserves!

I decided to treat my body to a little 60min massage before my wedding this weekend and I was SUPER impressed with my experience at Relax! I had Gigi and she was super sweet & relaxing and also checked in with me through my massage at first to make sure the pressure was okay (I have chronic neck/back pain & also RA) which I really appreciated. This was my first massage and I was a little nervous, but I can definitely say I will be back sooner than later for another!

This was my first massage with relax and I truly loved it! Jodi was awesome she asked many questions in the beginning and was very accommodating! I’ve had plenty of massages but this was my first prenatal massage. She made sure that I was always comfortable and made sure to address any concerns I had as well! She used hot stones and hot towels as well which was wonderful. The room was very nice and peaceful and the essential oils were amazing. 10/10 prenatal massage and I definitely recommend Jodi and relax and I will be back for all future massages!

Relax! Massage Therapy is such a great, down to earth place to go to receive relaxation. Everyone has always been super friendly! I have been religiously going for the past (almost) 3 years and have been seeing Stephanie Arnold. She is hands down THE BEST. I have chronic tension headaches and she has been the only comfort I have found. She has recently started offering different types of facials and is just as amazing in that as she is at massages. I highly recommend her! She stays busy but you won’t regret the decision!

I’ve seen 3 different massage therapists here and they have all been phenomenal. It’s a wonderfully clean, professional, and relaxing environment that they’ve created. My massage today with Chrissy was 2 hrs of ultimate relaxation. She listened carefully to the notes I made about sensitive areas and adjusted accordingly. I will absolutely book with her again!

Today I had my first massage at Relax! I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage for some problems I was having with my shoulder. Stephanie was my therapist and I must say she is wonderful! She sat down and explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable about the service. The environment was very relaxing and clean. She worked wonders with her hands and when I left I felt like a different person. I was so impressed that I booked another appointment for Friday. Worth every penny!

I had my first experience with Relax! last weekend and it was wonderful from start to finish. I booked a 90 minute custom massage with Kris and he did an incredible job! He made me feel super relaxed and as a current nursing student, thats a pretty difficult task to accomplish! I had SO much tension in my neck and upper back, and he used the perfect amount of pressure - I literally left my session feeling inches taller. I will definitely be back very soon!!

While in Wilmington, I booked a massage at Relax! This was my first time having a massage there. The team has excellent safety protocols in place, which establishes a very safe, comforting feeling from the onset. I booked a 90-minute massage with Stephanie. She was absolutely amazing-- and I could not recommend her or Relax! enough. I thoroughly enjoyed everything from my visit-- from the safety protocols in place to protect staff and patrons, the comfortable temperature in the room, the relaxing ambiance within the room, and the high-quality and attentiveness of the staff. Though I live two hours away and am only in Wilmington sporadically, I will definitely return in the near future. Highly, highly recommended!

I recently had a signature facial with Isabella. It was super relaxing and even though I’ve never been one to fall asleep anywhere besides my bed, I found myself drifting off multiple times! She was kind and gave off the best vibes - think Drew Barrymore. Great technique and made me feel comfortable. I’m definitely going back for another facial as a form of self care. The price is reasonable for this area. Well worth it.

I’ve been seeing Deb for the past 6 months or so and she is SO GOOD. I first went for a 30 min massage that my husband scheduled so I could get some “me time” after having my first child. I have continued this practice monthly—and it is the perfect gift to myself. Relax truly embodies its namesake and I hope to keep coming back for many many months to come.

I have been getting regular massage with cupping from Stephanie Arnold for several years. She is the best, is very knowledgeable and will make recommendations on stretching or exercise I can do at home. I was so excited to have my first facial with her and she did not disappoint. She did a soothing facial with no extractions. The products that she applied smelled either floral / fruity. I tried a facial lotion that she recommended and It is great, my skin is so much brighter and softer. She made some recommendations for home care rituals that will enhance my skins appearance. Her room is so cozy it just enhances the relaxing experience.

My mom and I went her for our 1st massages, ever. We booked a couples, so wed be together - and it was amazing. I forgot to ask for my therapists name, but she was great! She made sure I was comfortable, communicated with me about the pressure, and focused on the areas I noted as places i had pain.If youre debating on whether or not to go - DO IT!!!They also offer facials and acupuncture.

Chrissy was incredible. Got a 90min custom massage with her and she managed to reach places in my lower back and hips that I’ve been trying to get worked out for a while now. I could tell by the way she used her hands that she was extremely knowledgeable about what she was doing and the muscles she was working, it’s like she was waiting for the muscles to speak to her before she dove in ! She told me that before the massage my hips had been rotated and one sat higher than the other. I felt amazing after a wonderfully healing 90min and I can guarantee I will be back

This was my first time going to a massage therapist and everything was wonderful! I felt welcomed and comfortable right from the start. Johnny Butler did a fantastic job! He is very knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process/appointment.After the massage was over I had some questions and he took the time to talk to me and answer everything. I didnt feel rushed out. At the end I didnt feel pressured to book another appointment right on the spot, but I will be booking again!Taking care of ourselves/our health and well-being is an investment. A very important investment. Self-care isnt selfish!Dont think - Just book! Youll be very glad you did!

This is the best massage place ever! They staff is super welcoming and friendly and the masseuse’s are attentive and respectful of your needs. It is very, very clean and beautifully decorated and the music is soothing. They are very organized with dealing with COVID so no worries there. They take your temperature, give you a questionnaire and are very thorough making sure everyone is protected. My masseuse was Cindy and she was absolutely amazing!!! They also use aroma therapies and I was hesitant at first because I am very sensitive to smell, but they know just what to do it was not overpowering at all. It was and continues to be a amazing experience and worth every penny. It is definitely gift worthy as well!!

I have been with various masseuses at Relax! and always had an awesome experience. The thing I love most about Chrissy is she listens to my needs and blends my requests based on my untrained experiences with her expertise. I love her use of deep tissue (my request) along with pressure points and reiki and whatever other awesomeness she is blending in! I and my lower back and hips are so thankful!!!! Love, love, love Relax!

Review №66

Today was my first time at Relax! and it won’t be my last, due in large part to Heidi, my massage therapist. I always want to get a massage but due to feeling insecure about my body and skin, I avoid them. I also get pinched nerves in my back while lying on those tables, so tend to leave on pain instead of relaxed.Heidi was amazing. She heard my concerns regarding pinched nerves and ensured it wouldn’t happen, which it didn’t! She also was extremely kind and professional - not once making me feel bad about the things I tend to feel disgusting about. Instead she gave me the most amazing massage and really addressed my concerns with my neck and shoulders, which have been hurting for months.The entire atmosphere was calm and soothing, putting me instantly at ease. I highly recommend this place and more than recommend Heidi. I can’t wait to see her again! I am also going to try a facial here, which I feel will be just as rewarding.I wish I could give them more than five stars.

I couldnt stop thinking about the massage and facial I received from Stephanie - I felt so much caring intention in everything she did. From the atmosphere of her room, to the techniques she used, the pressure she applied, and even the temperature of her hands and equipment - she made sure every little detail was perfect to create a whole and unforgettable experience. I felt amazing afterwards and I loved the skin care products she recommended too!

Tucked away in an unassuming office plaza, this oasis of relaxation awaited me. I had a gift certificate, my husband gave it to me for Mothers Day 2016, and they do not expire. I finally used it yesterday and Im so glad I did! Ive already booked another appointment. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Stephanie was very genuine and professional, I was immediately at ease. Its been a very long time since Ive had a massage. The music and scents were relaxing and everything was comfortable and easy. Stephanie explained the process and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage. It was wonderful. I felt like jelly. I wish I could go every day! :)

First time to Relax. I got a 30 min lymph clearing and 60 min massage with Kris, who found so many gnarly spots.. I knew I was a mess but didn’t know how bad! Got the problem areas worked on, as I didn’t want a boring calming massage that got nothing fixed, I wanted to be set on a good path to healing what was messed up. Can’t recommend Kris enough!

Review №75

This place is amazing! Got my massage from Daisy and it’s hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. She took the time to actually massage what was needed versus some chain massage places that are more cookie cutter. She stretched my entire body while working on the knots that I’ve accumulated. Very good pressure but not too heavy. She was exactly what I needed. If I lived in the area I would be a regular. But instead I will highly recommend them to anyone around or on vacation. Sometimes all you need is to Relax! And that’s exactly what I got.

Review №76

We just moved to Wilmington and I was missing my massages so thought I would try Relax! Based on all the great reviews, I was very much looking forward to it along with the facial I booked. The massage was so-so. He didn’t use enough oil even though I asked him to. There were times there was no oil on my skin. The back portion consisted of him using his forearm 90% of the time vs any hand massaging or kneading. The facial was also so-so. She didn’t touch the area between my nose and lip, and barely my neck. Towels were too hot until I asked for cooler towels. I did like the products used although have no idea what they were…there was no explanation. At checkout, no one bothered to ask how the services were, so I didn’t tell them. Perhaps I got a couple of new therapists, I don’t know but the whole experience left me wanting.

Not only was I able to make a same-day appointment quickly and easily online, but my experience was even more amazing once I got there! I was greeted quickly and enthusiastically and checked in.

I feel amazing. I would highly recommend Relax! AND specifically Stephanie!

I visited Relax Massage today for the first time. My sweet husband gave me their July Special (1 hour facial and 1 hour massage) for my birthday. Best Gift Ever!! The facial that Bonnie gave me was incredible! My skin is so soft and has such a healthy glow. After my facial, I received a 1 hour massage with Lynn. She was incredible too! Within the first 5 minutes with Lynn, she somehow knew that I have pain in my left hip. She is very intuitive and I have to say that it was the best massage Ive ever had. Afterwards, I felt so relaxed and very much energized as well! I loved it so much, I booked another one in 6 weeks. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and professional. Im so happy to have discovered this gem of a spa!

I really appreciate Morgans approach using martial arts techniques applied to massage.

I went to Relax! today because I started lifting weights a couple of months ago and my back had gotten so tight, I was having discomfort sitting in certain positions and turning my torso. Kris gave me a sports massage and I knew it was going to be a challenge...my muscles were absurdly contorted...but he got all the kinks out and I feel so relieved. I can sit at my office desk and not feel twisted. My body feels even now. I didnt even realize how uncomfortable I was until he started working on me. So grateful to feel normal again!

I had a 90 minute massage with Jennifer and she was fantastic.She catered the massage to what I was looking for (just relaxation this time) but still took note of areas that I would benefit from a deeper tissue massage next time.She communicated well and made sure it was a 100% positive experience. Ill definitely be going back!

Bonnie did an amazing facial I left feeling very please with my skin and products. She educated me on what to change in my routine to improve my skin. Thanks again!Cindy also did an amazing job with my Swedish massage. It was very relaxing and she put extra focus on my trouble areas which she found without me telling her. Would definitely recommend. Much better experience then a typical change spa.

I had the hot stone massage with Cindy Qin. It was amazing. The whole process was quick to get in so she can start massaging me and it was all very professional, clean, and very comforting atmosphere. Cindy was amazing. I had a 60 minute session. She was very professional and attentive to what I wanted done. She was gentle in her techniques and applied the right amount of pressure when needed. I dont have the neck pain that I had prior to my appt. I will definitely return in the future!

Well, another wonderful experience! I had a one-hour Swedish massage today with Jenn and it was luscious. She has a very soothing touch. She has a way of gently slipping warm towels or stones on you without notice so it’s such a lovely surprise! Of course, she checks with you before the massage to see what your preferences are. I love aromatherapy too so she used it as well. Just devine!!I’ve gone to Relax! Massage Therapy a number of times and have never, ever been disappointed. My whole family knows that’s the place to go for any gift giving! The entire experience from the time you walk in the door is hands down the best in town. Take their business name literally. You relax as soon as you walk in and with all of their extra special touches, you feel that way even hours after leaving.

Great experience! My husband and I went here last weekend for a couples deep tissue massage, and from start to finish the appointment was so relaxing. Stephanie and Tracie were our massage therapists, and we both felt they were so knowledgeable and really talented at what they do. We both left feeling much better than when we came in, and we will be making this a regular treat :)

I really enjoyed my experience here for my prenatal massage. Check in was easy, and from the moment I arrived the environment was calm, serene, and relaxing. Stephanie was my masseuse and did wonderfully! She was knowledgeable about pregnancy related aches and pains, so she knew just how to help. She was gentle where needed and applied more pressure when needed also. I was very comfortable the whole time - baby too! I feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. Highly recommend. And husbands - pro tip: do like mine did and get this as a gift for your pregnant wife! Major brownie points!

I had a Swedish massage by Meghan. It was a high quality massage which targeted some trouble spots I discussed with her during our consultation at the start of my visit. I could tell immediately Meghan was experienced by not only her technique, but also her level of professionalism. I have been telling my friends & co-workers about my positive experience at Relax! With the hope they will take the time to visit for a massage & enjoy the same amount of relaxation I did. Relax! spa is also following COVID guidelines and I felt safe during the time I spent there. I will definitely book another massage along with one for my husband!!👍

You deserve the best.....i made a decision to get a massage before driving back to NY. Best decision Ive made in a long time. They got me in immediately, their staff was courteous, and friendly without being overly intrusive. The masseuse that I was given, Lynn, was amazing. She knew exactly what to do just by me telling her what my issues were. The drive home was so much more enjoyable, physically, then it usually is. I will be going back to visit Relax! whenever I am in Wilmington.

I am in love with this place! Emily, who checked me in, is so pleasant and helpful. Stephanie is a very naturally talented massage therapist:) I had a deep tissue/therapeutic massage. It was the best hour I have spent in a very long time. Scents, music, complete relaxation as well as expert work on my areas of pain and stress. I have already scheduled another visit. I highly recommend Relax! and Stephanie, specifically.

By far the best massage I have ever had. Julie was amazing! It is obvious that she has a passion for massage therapy & really customizes the massage to meet her individual clients needs instead of simply going through the motions. She is exceptionally skilled and after just one massage, my back was feeling so much better (which is something other massage therapists have not been able to achieve). Julie found areas of tension that I never knew I had and used just the right amount of pressure to relieve it, all while maintaining a calm and relaxing environment. Highly recommend this place and Julie!

I can’t say enough good things about Chrissy Monzon. I booked an appointment last minute and got her by happenstance. It was my first visit to Relax! She was easy to talk to about my needs and addressed them thoroughly and directly. She was incredibly intuitive to my trigger points. She wasn’t rushed. Her energy was calming. She was everything I was looking for in a massage therapist and far more than I was expecting. Definitely go see her!

Hey Lindsay - thank you for following up. The masseuse was wonderful - relaxing massage. Everyone was professional. The problem I had was with the smell. The towels smelled like dirty sweat - gym locker type scent. Also, Im unsure if its the location and proximity to the restaurant, but the whole establishment smelled like a restaurant kitchen. When I walk into a spa environment, I expect to have calming scents like lavender and eucalyptus - not food prep.

Update: I posted 2 months ago and wanted to follow up.I have been to several massage therapists over the past 10 years and Andrea is by far my favorite. She always asks me what I liked best about my last visit and where my problem areas are. This has really helped personalize each massage session for me. She finds out which type of massage techniques suit me best. I always leave feeling way better than when I arrived. Her massages are consistently awesome!2 months ago: Had my first visit last week and really enjoyed it. Theyre following covid-19 protocol. The check in was quick. Every one I interacted with was polite and professional. I scheduled to come back in a month.

Johnny Butler was the one to massage me today. He listened to what I needed and took into account the things that made me uncomfortable so he could avoid them. He was very personable both before and after the massage and never made me feel like I was being rushed in or out so they could get to the next appointment. Ive been to other cookie cutter massage places before, but here I felt truly taken care of and listened to. Between the massage, the targeted stretching, and warm towels to relax the most sore muscles, I left feeling the most relaxed Ive ever felt after a massage.The front staff was also very kind and didnt push products on me when I was finished. I wish I lived locally so I could come back routinely.

Having been to massages all over the place, I have to be honest, this place is top notch.Stephanie, the masseuse, that I had was excellent. She quickly identified several areas that were stiff and tight and worked through them easily and expertly.Im a fan of medium to deep pressure and Im always a little hesitant to say that to someone the first time I go. Stephanie did great. As a first time with any masseuse, I often expect less. This was beyond my expectations. Incredibly relaxing.The atmosphere and ambiance was awesome.The combination of swedish massage with a little hot stone and aromatherapy was a perfect combination.We will be back. Wife had a prenatal massage and loved it too.Highly recommended.

Bonnie was great! A friend of mine recommended her to me for a facial and she was wonderful. She explained everything to me in detail (including the products she was using), she was knowledgeable about my skincare issues and was able to recommend products that were appropriate for me.

Relax! Massage Therapy is great. I have seen several Therapists and have enjoyed different things about each one. Stephanie Arnold was my last therapist to see and she was GREAT, she really helped my problem areas, and took time to give me tips afterward to help me in the future.

I got a mini facial with Alex and she was so kind! She is clearly passionate about her job and even went as far as personalizing recommendations for me and my at home skin care routine while also showing me before and after pics for a product she thought would be great for me. With only 30 minutes of time together she was totally focused on the goals I have for my skin. Rebooking was also fast and easy. The environment and rest of the staff were also pleasant. Yay!

This was my 3rd massage here, 2 were prenatal. Every one has been slightly different, but nothing less than amazing!! Tracey massaged my mom, who’s a massage therapist, and she said it was the best deep tissue massage she’s ever had! I had a prenatal from her as well as she was just as gentle and firm as I needed. Today I saw Stephanie, who was a DELIGHT with her hands and worked all the kinks out of this new moms back! She went above and beyond, applying a cooling gel to my sore muscles, hot stones, and several different oils… All of which I loved!! They have recently expanded their location, offering up more rooms and more types of treatments. I’ve already bought a gift certificate for friend and I refer them to anyone looking for a great massage!

I received a hour long massage and immediately after was changed into a spa robe and comfy slippers. I made my way to my facial, which was also a hour long. In-between rooms they would give me water to drink from having the best massage/facial of my life. I am a mother of 1 and a step mom of 3. I told them exactly what where I was hurting on my body and told them specifically about my facial care routine. I left feeling like butter. I would definitely recommend Relax for anyone needing to relieve stress, pamper yourself and be completely honest about what your face and body that you need help with. It was extremely easy to change my massage therapist to female. They decided to stay later to accommodate my needs. 12/10 for sure!!!

I took my first vacation in nearly ten years . . . and the first thing I did was a two hour massage with Chrissy. She was awesome, totally relaxing!! So much that I fell asleep! I thought I was dreaming that I was snoring . . . nope, I was so relaxed I fell asleep and was snoring, LOL!! I came back at the end of the week and had a one hour massage with Cindy. Although very different from my first massage, I enjoyed it just as much. Dont let her size fool you, she read my body wonderfully, knowing where the knots and tension were and working them out!! Felt WONDERFUL!!! Next vacation . . . my first call will be to RELAX!!!! Thanks so much!!

I have lived in Wilmington for a little over a year, and had tried several different massage therapists, but hadn’t really found the right one for me. So my husband randomly sent me a gift certificate to Relax and when I booked, they put me with Jenn! Literally. The. Best. Massage. Of. My. Life. I prefer most of the focus to be on my upper back, and she asks and focused on areas of your concern. I prefer more pressure, and have never had a massage be totally relaxing while getting deep tissue work done, until this massage. I felt really good for weeks after my massage with her. I bought a package for 10 more massages before I walked out the door of my first massage. Seriously, she was leaps and bounds over several other therapists I’ve tried in Wilmington over the last year. While chatting with her, (she’s very personable and professional) she told me her experience and about some of their hiring practices, so I’m sure the other massage therapists at Relax are awesome too, but I don’t know first hand. I highly recommend Jenn and Relax.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable, stress-relieving, and all around wonderful experience. I fully recommend Lynn Wilder, and I will absolutely be back!

Wow. First time customer but wont be my last visit!1. The fact that they offer a gentlemens special is phenomenal. Too often in this age, a spa only caters to women, groups of women, bachelorette parties, etc. Mens health and mental relaxation is just as important and I am glad to see they are on board.2. I woke up with a brutal migraine, neck pain and medial border scapula pain. I called and Dani was very professional. Im not sure if she was truly sorry to hear about my pain or she was just giving great customer service but either way, I dont care as she took my information and got me on the schedule later in the day. She was very welcoming and a kind young lady.3. Johnny. What a guy. Great communication but more importantly, a great listener. He targeted the areas I told him about and after my session, I felt like a whole new person. He worked out the areas and did some stretching.I will be returning.Thank you!!!!

Perfect!! I went here based on the high Google ratings alone, and it certainly lived up to my expectations. My appointment was for 3:00, went 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork and they called me up at 3:00 sharp. Good start!Chrissy Monzon gave me an amazing massage. I told her I had muscle strain in my arms from driving for work and she focused almost entirely on my neck/shoulders/arms. Every motion was precise and deliberate, it was unlike any other massage I have ever received. Very thorough, I felt her paying attention to every minute detail of her hands motions. She even went over my pre-paid 45 minute massage an extra 10 minutes at no extra charge, politely asking first if I was in a hurry to be anywhere.Fantastic experience. I am looking forward to returning, may just have to book Chrissy again!

I had never had a facial before, but my husband knew I wanted to try it and got me a gift certificate to Relax knowing that it would push me to go. I now go regularly for facials with Bonnie not only because she is great at what she does, but she puts you at ease and prioritizes your comfort and satisfaction. Since I had never had a facial before she didnt make me feel silly for asking questions, and she took the time to learn about my old routine and recommend a new routine based not only on what I wanted to correct and improve, but also based on my lifestyle and budget. I am extremely pleased with the improvements Ive seen in my skin. I also look forward to my visits so I can relax and enjoy a bit of pampering. Bonnie makes the experience relaxing and very enjoyable. Its clear that she loves what she does! I highly recommend Bonnie and Relax!

I have been a massage client of Stephanie Arnold for almost two years and let me start by saying that she is the best massage therapist I have every had. Her treatment and techniques have changed my life. As someone who is chronically ill and struggles with pain daily, massage with Stephanie has caused pain relief like nothing else. I am so thankful for her!I recently broke out with crazy hormonal rashes and acne all over my face. Since Stephanie recently became certified in skin care treatment I scheduled a facial. Oh. My. Word. I felt like I had new skin on my face when she finished. Not only did the rash clear up with in 3 or 4 days after my facial, Stephanie sold me products that make my skin feel better than ever. I thought I would need to go see a dermatologist to treat the dry skin and acne, however one facial with Steph made all the difference!I would highly recommend seeing Stephanie for a facial as soon as you can. Not only is it a relaxing and enjoyable experience, it is also a decision to improve your skin care health!

I have been struggling with neck pain for a long time and I decided, that I would indulge in a couples massage. One, for my beau’s birthday and two, because why not? We were greeted by such a relaxing and soothing, welcoming environment with subtle essential oils permeating the room. The receptionist was kind and patient and when it was time to get started with our massage we met our masseuses who greeted us with such courtesy, respect and most importantly, smiles. My masseuse was Cindy, she really paid attention to what my body needed. Before I could even ask her to go deeper or firmer on tight spots I had, she was way ahead of me. Her variation with light and firm massages really helped my muscles loosen up and I literally became jello when she got to my neck! I think I even passed out at one time and woke up later. Lol, needless to say, I had never felt so relaxed!Brandy, my beau’s masseuse was very attentive to his therapy needs. She was funny, kind and hip. She definitely knew what she was doing to relax those muscles! Her pressure was perfect, she had a gentle touch and necessary firm grip. Enough to loosen up his sore back! It really took us a moment to get back to reality when they were done.And at the door, they even had water and chocolate ready! This is such a wonderful place to go for your massages! I have yet to try a facial, and I am excited! 10/10 would recommend!

I was suffering from severe back pain, probably from a combination of my crazy children and my intense workout regimen Id recently adopted. I had even had a steroid shot and a chiropractor appointment days before my appointment. I was still in a lot of pain. I went in for a previously scheduled couples massage with my husband this weekend. Kacey is the best. She isnt a masseuse - shes a legitimate, professional massage therapist. She spent time listening to my problems, figuring out a strategy for the session, and today I am walking around feeling so much better. I have twin toddlers, and they require constant attention, picking up, wrangling etc. I really should be going at least monthly, but finding time is tough. I also want to put a plug in for Denise as well, who took care of my husband. Hes built like a linebacker, and has only had one other therapist who he thought really did a good job, back when we lived in Atlanta. He wont see anyone but Denise. She also took time with me, even after my session with Kacey was over, to try to identify a different muscle that might alleviate my pain (Kacey is phenomenal enough to know when she might not have the experience to do something, and asked Denise for her advice - this quality is rare and I appreciated it so much!). I love this place. We moved to Wilmington a year and a half ago, and love trying new places. But we will NEVER go anywhere but here for massage therapy.

This was by far the best massage experience I’ve ever had. My husband bought us a couples massage for our anniversary and I am so happy he did! They used hot stones, hot towels, the table had a warmer in it, and the music with the scents from the oils they used put us in a deep relaxation. I was so impressed with Stephanie and Hiedi! Not only do they have the magical touch, but their level of professionality and knowledge is what has made us want to be regulars with them. They listened to what we both wanted out of our visit, and I can’t say it enough.... the we’re right on point. I highly recommend Relax!

My previous therapist from a different company left the area, but told me about Mr Johnny Butler at Relax, who she went to. And my therapist was awesome! So with that recommendation I booked w/ Johnny, and Ill be back!! He too is awesome!! From the time of initial check-in, through the end it was totally professional, well taken care of facility, clean, (did I say clean?), and well worth the time and investment.

I personally have never had a massage, but this was above and beyond my expectations. I’ve been having tons of neck and shoulder pain and have been desperately seeking relief. I’ve tried yoga and regular appointments to the chiropractor, with little results. I decided to do a 60 minute massage in hope to find some relief! Heidi was AMAZING. She was super attentive and very open to my needs. She offered to dedicate half of my time to my shoulders/ neck and the other half to the rest of my body. It was a PERFECT massage. I feel rejuvenated, but most importantly I feel a world of less tension in my shoulders/neck. I will most certainly be back!The facility is also extremely cute, quaint, and clean! The beds are heated and I loved the use of essential oils. Everything was perfect! Would 100% recommend!

I had an excellent massage with Stephanie. She listened to my needs and gave me exactly what I requested. She was intuitive as to my needs and allowed me to enjoy my therapy without needless chit chat. This is one of the best massages I have ever received. I will rebook.

Not only was the massage itself excellent, and I have had many, but they managed to accommodate me along with my wife and daughter all in a very similar time window. I personally had a deep tissue massage and quite often the therapist struggles to generate enough pressure, this was not the case @Relax. The pressure level was exactly what I needed and I came out feeling terrific. Highly recommend!

I have been getting massages for many years from countries all around the world, and I must say, the massage therapist from Relax do NOT disappoint! I usually go in to relieve chronic low back pain and foot pain. I love how attentive the therapists are and how they intuitively know which muscle groups to work on to help me feel my best! I don’t mind driving from the Topsail area to Wilmington, but I am so happy that they have appointments now in Hampstead with Andrea (she is AMAZING)! I can’t wait for my next massage!!

Been a client of Steffie Ellis for several years. She now works at Relax. Always so professional and uplifting. She works magic with her hands getting all the knots worked out. Can’t go wrong with an hour massage but also try a 30 minute foot reflexology- you will not be disappointed!!

Great staff with nothing but the highest level of customer service! My Masseuse, Tracie Wallace, took her time to consult with me on what aches and pains I was experience on a daily basis, what areas needed more attention, the type of massage I wanted and what level of pressure I was comfortable with and that needed to be applied. The location was easy to get to and the facility and the message room offered a clean, spacious, calming and relaxing environment. I didn’t feel rushed at anytime nor ignored by any part of the staff and everyone was super friendly. Anything less than 5 stars would be unacceptable in my opinion for my entire experience from start to finish.

So I don’t ever write reviews. But I thought this place deserved for people to know how great they are! First of all, their prices are great! For a massage that helps your body SO much It is a small price to pay. Just don’t eat out like twice a month and there is your money for this! I highly recommend Jenn! (Has the dog in her profile pic when you go to select someone) she is so nice and so helpful! You can tell her exactly what you want and she will cater to anything you need done. The front office staff is super nice too and the waiting room is very relaxing. I started out with 45min and I do more and more every time. You will feel so great afterwards and will thank yourself for doing it!

Brandy G is wonderful, by far the best massage I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable and was very informative as to what muscles needed extra attention and how I could continue working those muscles at home for a more long term effect. The environment is comfortable and very relaxing. I can’t wait to go back!

An all around great massage experience. From the moment you enter your senses are welcomed with soothing aroma and atmosphere. Jen was a fab masseuse who really worked to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I felt as though months of stress was undone during the 90 minute session and my tired body felt rejuvenated and renewed. Thank you for the great massage!

This was the first place where I have gotten a massage and will probably my only as I have felt quite at home with how friendly everyone is! The environment and the rooms are very much relaxing. The ladies at the front always welcome you and make payments and rescheduling easy when youre on your way.As someone who works in construction and as an avid runner, Kacey G., has helped me get through my back pain with her Deep Tissue Massages.Couldnt recommend this place more!

Amazing services by Corina & Jennifer! Corina gave me a mini facial; she’s very friendly, sweet, easy to talk to & informed me of the products/treatment as they were occurring. Jennifer is very polite, professional & very well educated in the world of massages. The environment is very peaceful & calming. Definitely booking again, thank you Corina & Jennifer❤️❤️

I had an opening in my schedule and booked with Shelby, never having visited this place before, although I get massages regularly. Shelby was wonderful and really helped me to loosen tight traps and upper back, as well as a very relaxing full body massage. Highly recommend this place as it is very relaxing and peaceful and Shelby is a great massage therapist.

The decor is adorable throughout and really lends to an environment of relaxation. Communication is solid from start to finish, which is great considering the extra steps they are taking to protect against COVID. I worked with Cindy and she was wonderful and gave a great massage. Over all just an awesome experience- definitely will be back again.

This massage was one of the very best I’ve ver had. The room was gorgeous, relaxing, quiet and my therapist was super attentive to my needs. The pressure was super firm as I requested, yet she was willing to adjust when necessary. I would definitely recommend this My four friends who came at the same time came out equally jello-ish. I’d suggest getting 90 minutes Because it flies by.

Hands down the best deep tissue massage that Ive ever gotten! Denise took great care of me and really helped to loosen me up. I am looking forward to returning again and again! I also loved the atmosphere... not stuffy or pretentious. I felt comfortable the moment I walked through the door!

Professional staff, good layout, and relaxing environmental setting. My wife and I have started coming here for couples massage at least once a month if we can. Like most places, you can request for a specific Massage Therapist. This one, however, seems to have therapists that remember exactly how much pressure you like and exactly what your recurring problem area is. Every time, they cater to our needs but whats amazing is that they always identify problem area(s) that I never once considered in need of some kneading! For example, I always ask for concentration on my lower back... but once she got to my palm, I was in heaven. They read your body like braille. Often, they read your body better than you can. To sum it all up, they are very good at what they do and it shows in their establishment, it shows in their staff, it shows the moment you walk in, and it definitely shows when you leave feeling absolutely relaxed and relieved. My only regret is not finding this place sooner.

What a beautiful and serene environment! They offer a wide variety of services and each and every professional is highly skilled. I received my first ever craniosacral treatment from Lynn. She was wonderful and the experience was unique and mystical relieving some long-lingering problems in just one treatment. Will definitely return on my next visit to Wilmington.

I went in for my first time a few weeks ago and Anna did an incredible job working out my back. I’ve had a lot of soreness and she really made it feel better after my first visit! Coming in today actually for another since I was so impressed with her care. Thank you Anna and the Relax team!

The facility was very clean and pleasant. The massage was wonderful, She asked me a few questions, temperature and pressure, during the massage. It was a full-body, therapeutic massage and when she was finished I felt so much better - relaxed, every bad spot gone. This was my first time there and I will definitely be going back

Amazing experience from the start. Super friendly staff, and great ambiance. We did a couples massage and highly recommend the “Harmony Room”. Very clean, comforting, and relaxing environment. We had Chrissy and Tammie as our therapist and we both have nothing but great things to say. Worked on specific areas we mentioned in the beginning. We visit the area often and will add this to our list of must dos.

I had such an amazing experience with Stephanie! With having previous experience with massages, I knew exactly what I wanted and was looking for and she definitely exceeded expectations. Being a college student, I was nervous about spending money on something that’s more of a splurge but it was so worth it to the point that I’m going to start going more frequently.
