For my first session, I can say I enjoyed the experience in its entirety. Each product application was explained during the session. The session was much more than I expected in the realm of relaxation. Alisha offers aromatherapy and a peaceful environment for the provided services. Though the staff seems to be small. I've been greeted with warm greetings each visit. The treatments & products combined were a bit pricey.

I have been having facials and especially microdermabrasions to manage my acne for 15+ years and relocating from NY, I needed to maintain all the progress I've made. I was bummed she did not do micros but what she did was better, she talked me through what she was doing/it's purpose. We discussed products used in the past, from recommendations from my previous aestheticians and what worked, I was impressed that she knew all of them, had used some and now created her own line. I slowly switched over to her line, product by product trying one out for a month and then adding another. But oh my that Mandelic serum!!! In the summer after using a washcloth on my face (as a gentle exfoliation) I put it in and boom instant glowy beautiful skin! I have brought my 2 sisters here and we buy the products on rotation and come at least 4x a year for maintenance, as seasons change and in between as stress and life stuff causes a breakout.

I sat with Faith, where she asked me what king of massage , went over the atmosphere I wanted and how it was customizable to me. Safety button etc. very thorough. I sat and waited for my massaged therapist and was offered a weighted hit neck pillow while I waited which was amazing. My appointment was at 10:30 and around 10:25 my therapist came out and checked in to let me know she was running a little behind and would be right with me. Which I appreciated and didn't mind at all. I was paired with Susan. Susan was very welcoming and knowledgeable. She showed me to our room explained everything and stepped out to allow me to change. She told me what areas I should work on stretching and worked all my knots out. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and will be back. I do wish the quiet option I opted for was honored more. I understand she was trying to make me comfortable and some people talk through their massages but I did not want to talk during my massage. Granted that did only last the beginning 10-15 minutes I'll be more vocal when I go back with what I expect on my one half for my best experience. After, she stepped out for me to change and I had and I was greeted but the wonderful team out front which is always prepared to schedule my next session and I was recommend another therapist to try as well. I would like to try a few more to see what fits me. But overall excellent experience.

I arrived right at 9am on a Wednesday morning for my 9am massage appointment. On the Saturday…read moreprior, I made my appointment online via portal. I do have a membership that is $75. It has increased since I first got it several. It's gotten expensive and I often question if it's worth it. My check in progress was quick as I had already completed forms online. Danny was my provider and he was very friendly! Since I had a bunch of packages, I was able to use two by getting add ons such as Himalayan salt rocks, aroma therapy, and a foot treatment. When my massage started, the music was too loud. I couldn't even focus on my own thoughts, which I shouldn't be doing anyway lol. I eventually spoke up and Danny promptly turned it turn to a level I was comfortable with. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage. So much so, I didn't want to leave. It was so relaxing and I truly felt better. The aromatherapy was a nice boost. He stated it was lavender but seemed like peppermint or a mix of both. I liked the salt stones. I think a mix of hot and room temperature stones were used but really couldn't tell. My foot treatment was interesting, in a good way! I've gotten it before, so I thought, but it was nothing like this! Maybe the previous person didn't do it correctly. This time, I had hot towels on my feet that stayed there for a little bit and everything. My feet were so soft and moisturized afterwards! My only dislike was lack of talking through what's next. I know everyone doesn't like this, but I think it would be good for the massage therapist to ask clients up front. Some moments caught me off guard and I just wanted a heads up, especially if I could expect some pressure. To note, each time I get a massage, I don't really give guidance behind whether it's a deep tissue, relaxing, or a mix of both. I let them do whatever they see fit, as the professional. I never want to limit them to techniques of another provider as they may have techniques that may be better. This massage was needed and didn't disappoint. I have a bunch of packages, lol. So I will be returning and will likely be for a facial.

My bestie and I decided we needed a spa day (especially facials) and we were on the hunt for some…read moreplace local. It's been years since I had been to Balance Day Spa, but I remembered they offered discounted seasonal special facials on weekdays. They still do! In addition to the facial, I booked a pedicure while my friend got a massage. The other thing I learned from a friend about Balance Day Spa is they now have a sauna/steam room that you can go enjoy for an hour before or after your appointments. I highly recommend taking advantage of these amenities if you have appointments. It really kicked up the value and relaxation. This area was deluxe. You are given a locker to put your belongings as well as a robe and slippers. They have bathrooms and changing areas. The steam room and saunas could benefit from operation instructions, but once we figured it out - boy it felt great. There is also an additional private sitting room with comfy recliners and a faux fireplace. Really gets you in the right head space before appointments. I started with my Classic Pedicure. My technician was nice but pretty quiet. After soaking in the basin, my nail's were trimmed and shaped, followed by cuticle care and callus removal. Followed by a solid foot and leg massage. She wrapped my feet in warm towels which felt great. Then she carefully added the purple polish I selected. It was a really pretty color. They had lots of color options - regular and shellac. Their nail room was on the smaller side, but could accommodate two people at once. You are seated in the traditional upright massage chair you get at most nail salons. But the room is at the front of the building so it gets a lot for street noise. The bright fluorescent lights are on full blast. There are these big front windows and they have no curtains. You feel a bit exposed (especially if you are in your robe) to be honest. Sadly, the relaxing and calming ambiance is currently very lost in this space. I only had a few minutes under the toe dryer before I was called for my facial. I would have preferred to do toes second so I didn't have to worry about potentially smudging them, but that wasn't how it was scheduled. Just had to leave my feet outside of the sheets and keep the toe separators in. The facial room was much more inviting. Nice blue tones and dim lighting. As part of my seasonal facial, I got to pick between two scrub scents. I went for the Harvest Apple variety that smelled amazing. We started with a consultation followed by the usual cleansing, steam, exfoliation, extractions, mask, serums, and moisturizer. The facial was overall very relaxing and my skin felt so much better afterward. The extractions were a bit painful compared to what I am used to. I was legit tearing up. I think she noticed this but didn't say anything and just cut this part short. The esthetician also did a little lip balm type treatment. A nice extra I don't think I've ever had during a facial. But hey lips need love too so I'm down. After she gently recommended a product to help with my dry skin. Checkout was a bit of a mess. My appointments got merged with my friends (as she booked for us both) and the receptionist struggled to separate. Seems they use an outside service for scheduling and it caused some problems. The system wouldn't allow us to pay for both of ours services on one transaction. So had to do multiple. This made checkout take longer than it should and was frustrating. Quick jolt back to reality, when I wanted to stay in my spa la la land! All in all a lot of positives here if you want a some treatments, but a few opportunities for improvement as well.

In the new year, my bestie and I are on a quest to find the next best place to get facials in…read moreGreensboro. We used to go all the way to Advance to be pampered by the best in the biz, but since her retirement, we've been looking for something a little closer to home. That's where Balance Day Spa hit the scene. They were particularly enticing due to their late hours during the week. After perusing their website, I called to schedule two services for my bestie and me as a belated birthday celebration. A pedicure and a facial for her, and a facial and a massage for me! My bestie and I arrived about 40 minutes prior to the scheduled start of our services. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the amenities, and we were eager to begin enjoying them. Balance Day Spa really brings it when it comes to providing everything you could need. They have lockers for your personal belongings, robes, and sandals in case you didn't bring your own. I appreciated that they use regular keys for their lockers rather than combination locks, which stresses me out. After we changed into our robes, we hit the steam room first. There were no formal instructions on how to use either the steam room or the sauna, but we eventually figured it out. We enjoyed about 15 minutes in both the steam room and the sauna. Then we drank some water and ate some mixed nuts as we waited to be called back for our services. They also offered complimentary coffee and tea. My first service was a facial with Jessica. Before we started, she asked questions about my typical skin-care routine and when I last had a facial. She also asked if I was okay with her performing extractions if needed, and I said yes. Before she started, I had to choose between a harvest apple or an amber scent for my service. I opted for the amber option. The facial was very relaxing with all the typical components of cleansing, exfoliating, applying a face mask, massaging, moisturizing, and applying a lip moisturizer at the end. The extraction process was particularly painful to the point of bringing me to tears. I think a mid-extraction check-in would have been nice, so I could have asked for a brief respite as she wiped away my tears. Alas, beauty is pain, as they say. At the end of the service, she recommended a product she thought could help reduce the redness on my face. She let me take a picture of it, and I appreciated that she wasn't particularly pushy about it. I began my massage service with Stephanie by completing an intake form to disclose any concerns and talk through any problem areas. Although I thought I had completed this in advance, it was only an intake form for the Esthetic service. Looking back at the ample texts I received before arriving, I only received one text with a link to complete an intake form, which could be why this was missed. I wanted a relaxing massage, and Stephanie utilized low to medium pressure to meet my expectations. A massage never feels long enough, but that's how I know it was a good massage. At the time of booking, I didn't realize that Balance Day Spa utilizes a call center to handle its scheduling. This became abundantly clear when it came time for us to check out at the end of our visit. For whatever reason, the way the call center booked the services caused the woman checking us out to run our cards twice, once for each service. This felt clunky and is a valid reason to bring scheduling in-house if it causes this awkwardness to be the last impression you leave on a customer. All in all, I was satisfied with my experience at Balance Day Spa. It felt very corporate, and I hope that the next stop on our facial tour has a more personal touch.
