Tea shop that's part of it is also very cute snd had any type of teas you could imagine. The massages were relaxing. Note: verify pricing. The package was listed on their website cheaper than what they charged us when we checked out. **Covid alert** The staff did NOT wear masks in the shop or while we got our massages or facials. We are VERY careful everywhere we go with making sure we are doing all to keep ourselves and others safe. There was zero attention to safety here and sadly because of that we will not be able to return unless there are major changes to their Covid safety policies.

Ok, so since I was given a gift certificate for two massages, I decided to give Serenity another…read morechance, even though my previous review was a poor one. When we arrived, another tea party was in full swing (flashback to previous review) but at least this one was for adult ladies. So, the massage was very nice, and we decided to have a cup of tea. I had just done my Yelp check in, commenting on the tepid tea I had been served, when a spa worker who looked exactly like Thomas P (see his biased review of Serenity - only one review in two years - so suspicious) saw me Yelping. He asked me about Yelp, like he had never heard of it (yeah, right!) and I said Yelp was great for finding peer rated businesses, etc. He walked away after and I thought that was over... was I ever wrong! Evidently, he went into the back office and pulled up my review of Serenity. Next thing I know, the owner comes out surrounded by all her waitresses. She began to berate me for my last review 10 months ago. Says my review was damaging to her business and was impacting her waitresses, all of whom were mothers (not sure why that was relevant). She also said that if I didn't like her place, I should get out and not come back. How unprofessional! If her business is getting bad reviews, maybe there is a real fundamental reason. Maybe it is her temper and tendency to ask paying customers to leave and not come back. The owner is a bigger problem than a bad review. Funny enough, without the owner incident, I probably would have given Serenity a better rating than I had previously. After all, gift certificate notwithstanding, I spent $75.00 there for a coffee pot and dry teas. Still, all in all, I could not in good conscience recommend this business to anyone. Folks, give this place a miss.

I had an appointment for today and brought in a gift certificate that my husband had given me years…read moreago pre-pandemic. I was not able to use it, of course during the pandemic, even though I tried several times. After a consultation with the manager, the lovely receptionist told me that they would not honor the gift certificate $100. The gift certificate did not have an expiration date on it, but evidently they have a policy that it cannot be used after five years. Especially in light of the closures during the pandemic. I do not think this was right. I choose to no longer patronize this business and will be getting my massages elsewhere from now on.

First visit and let's just say that I'm a fan. Environment was perfect. The smells, sounds, sights,…read moreeverything. Hands down one of the best massages I've had. Overall experience was superb. 5 stars are not enough to describe the experience. From the very beginning, customer service was A1. They worked with my schedule and were very accommodating to my needs. My massage therapist, Shenika, was beyond amazing!! The way she worked with the knots in my back was impressive. This last week has been extremely rough and this was exactly what was needed. She was very friendly and super kind. I couldn't have asked for a better person, she was exactly what I needed. Looking forward to booking with her again. Thanks Shenika!!

I have had three massages and my husband has had one. We enjoyed our services even though we could not call them a five star massage. There are different therapists you can book, but it is hard to find out what therapists work there. there is nothing available show Background specialties for therapists. You just have to try various therapists and see what you like. It is in a convenient location close to downtown Gainesville. It is an old small house on a main road, it is in moderately good condition. The house was refurbished nicely for a spa. However, the maintenance needs some help when you walk in the windows are dirty and the beverage tray is always empty and unavailable. It needs a good cleaning. And freshening up a bit. But, overall, I am satisfied for Gainesville spa that is moderately priced.

The first time I scheduled a pedicure with Caragin She was very gentle and did a great job with my heels and then did beautiful buff and shine!

Also, we were actually on vacation when we reached out to her about appointments and she was able to fit both me and my husband in during our time in GA. This meant as much to me as the massage itself. I really wish I could have packed her up and moved her back to MD with us, she was just that good. I hope I can find another therapist as skilled and compassionate as she is at home now. There are not enough good words to say about her other than just book an hour with her...you won't regret it.

I originally left a 3‑star review because my first 90‑minute massage with a female therapist felt…read morevery routine and not customized to the areas I listed online. There was no consultation, she didn't engage in much conversation, and it was clear my intake form hadn't been read. Even when I mentioned my tight hips/psoas several times, she didn't adjust. I actually found this place by reading Google reviews and decided to take a chance, so I was disappointed that the session felt generic. Gary, the owner, reached out afterward, apologized, and explained what went wrong. He offered a complimentary 60‑minute session tailored specifically to my concerns, and I went in today. The difference was immediate. Gary was knowledgeable, conversational, and focused exactly on my tight psoas/hip area. He understood the issue from a workout perspective and customized the entire session to what my body actually needed. I now feel confident I've found someone who will truly tailor the massage to my concerns, and I'll be making another appointment soon. I appreciate the follow‑up and the effort to make things right.
