I was treated so warmly by the one young receptionist that I set up a routine checkup appointment for two weeks later on the spot. The dermatology PA-C Kara Hankes saw me. She was very warm and friendly as well. She was kind to talk to, gentle demeanor and thorough in her skin check. I asked her to remove a mole that I'd been scratching and a benign lesion on my cheek (I really should wear more sunscreen). As I was having a slight breakout around the scalp, she ordered me a prescription shampoo and had staff follow up a few days later to let me know the outcome of the mole removed. I will continue to come here and take advantage of the skincare offerings, such as reducing sun damage and facials.

A few places I've been to in the area are notorious for trying to sell you the most expensive treatments they offer. That is not the case with Skin Bliss. Instead, Judy suggested her traditional facial for now and a follow-up later in the fall when my skin would benefit most from a deep treatment/peel. I can't say enough about how fantastic my facial was. I left feeling completely relaxed, with glowing skin that looked and felt better than it did after a recent Hydrafacial at a competing Spa.

I decided to get the Sculptural Facelift to get the two-in-one facial and massage. It was my first session with her, but I didn't want to do the First Ritual, the facial for first timers. I messaged and she said she'd adjust our time to make sure we had time for the consultation; our conversation before our session was really in-depth, we walked through what's been working and what hasn't, and even my lifestyle and diet. Katie was way more down to earth than I anticipated, and didn't push or judge. Her spot is intimate and welcoming, full of green and sun; her backroom where she does her facials is calm and dark (and she has fantastic music, not cheesy spa music). The sculptural massage was amazing; I have never felt more lifted and relaxed and could visibly see a difference for weeks! Katie uses really gently products, and my normally hyper-reactive skin was calm. If you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend the Ritual Skincare experience!!

Heads up- they have two locations but they use the same phone number. Called from the Yelp link for…read moreking street, so we went to that location but they had booked us at the other location. Luckily, we had rented a car but this could be troublesome if you are using an Uber or Lyft. Staff was friendly. We booked a couples massage and they were able to fit us in same day. One thing I didn't like was they charged us the full amount before the massages, but AFTER said there was a $10 up charge for deep pressure. That should have been communicated since we had already paid before the service. Also, they asked for tips to be paid directly to a personal Venmo account rather than through the business. The massage itself was fine- nothing special or unusual. They do not offer bottled water or wine, as most places do with a couples massage. All in all, it was a good last minute booking. Kiki uses her feet to massage- so if you aren't okay with that be sure to communicate that.

Not only is $80 before tip for a Brazilian wax outrageous (even for the northeast), but I'd hope…read morethat since the price is this steep they'd AT LEAST get all of the hairs. I was on a trip to Burlington and was in need of a last-minute Brazilian, so I settled on this place because it was the only place I could find an appointment. My waxer, Jenna, was kind, but I left disappointed and quite frankly, felt extremely ripped off after I realized she had not done a thorough job. The hairs that were left behind weren't even too short for the wax to grab ahold of--it was just a lack of attention to detail. I'm pretty upset that I paid over $80 for an incomplete job. ****To elaborate on my one review, I thought I was happy with the wax prior to leaving the establishment. It wasn't until closer inspection once I was in the privacy of my own hotel room, that I realized there were numerous hairs left behind. I also was not asked if I was happy with the wax job at the end. If I had been asked, and if I had noticed the remaining hairs before I left, I would have absolutely said something.

I've heard that other similar places in town do not get their staff fully certified in treatments, etc. This business is very on top of such things and if anything would make sure the staff is over certified rather than the reverse.

Even in downtown Burlington, I've been disappointed by many of the spas, and have always felt like I was overpaying for a sub-par experience. Chelsea clearly knew what she was doing, and was super friendly and easy going. Her space is adorable and cozy, and felt like what I wish my apartment looked like! I got a regular facial and a back facial, and was impressed by everything. Chelsea has a comforting routine in how she moves through the treatments, and did a very thorough job. I was so comfortable, and felt like the treatment was both effective and luxurious. She went above and beyond in what a simple facial could be, and really made me feel like I was getting taken care of. I would highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for your standard spa services, and while I only directly experienced two of the things she offers, I could tell by her professionalism and skill that she'll do a great job at anything else I will get done there. I can't wait to go back!
