Of the 20+ massage therapist I've seen over the years, Julie Dean is the best by far. I've seen her 4 times now and she is consistently good. read more

Massage was okay on a scale of 1-10 I rate as a 6. Great job setting up appointments & confirming on day of. I had a couple trouble muscle areas that I wanted highlighted & they weren't addressed. . I don't remember if staff asked if pressure was okay or not. Room was really warm & stuffy. At one point when staff left for 3-4 mins to heat up rice pillow (‍) the door was left open with no explanation. I was last appointment of the day & it felt impersonal. I didn't feel that I got any more attention as a first timer as one of regular monthly clients. Would recommend if you're new to massage & don't get them often but I'll look for other options next time. I. read more

Her service came highly rated so I called last Thursday to get an appointment as I recently broke my shoulder and really needed a good massage. Julie was very fast to reply and she wrote she was booked until today, Tuesday, 4+ days later. She made it very clear that she took cash only which was fine and after a few messages back and forth the appointment was locked and confirmed. She was very prompt and thorough and verified I knew the location and time and the payment in cash requirement. I did and all was fine. Last night (memorial day holiday) she texted me giving me 2 hours to reconfirm the appointment once again and that if I didn't reply within 2 hours she was going to give my slot to other people. I replied with 4 hours but that was outside her warning period so she gave away my appointment. I texted back that I would accept the delay until Friday (now 8 days since my first contact) and that she needed to accept that this was really confirmed and there would be no other last minute cancellations again. She replied that she understood and wished me well to find another massage therapist in the area. This is not the way to treat a new customer nor is asking for so many reconfirmations nor proactively cancelling appointments that were confirmed several times already. She may give great massages and you may get lucky and have her commit and keep an appointment. You may also get treated as I have been. read more

Booked massage for my wife while we were vacationing in HB. Best massage she's ever had! Outside of that, Julie's pricing is reasonable and communication was excellent. Will definitely book another massage with Julie on our next trip to HB! read more

Really great massage. My husband & I needed a good massage before heading back on the road. Julie was able to give us two separate appointments. We both felt great afterwards. We highly recommend Julie and her price is extremely reasonable. read more

I reached out yesterday about getting a massage today, and Julie got right back to me with a morning appointment. The 90-minute massage was great! Perfect amount of pressure, and she worked out all the knots in my neck and shoulders! A great massage for a great price! read more

Excellent, relaxing massage! Her pressure was just right. I would definitely book again :)

Best Massage I've ever had! Julie has the perfect combination of relaxing massage and deep tissue release. I wish I lived closer to go more often! read more

I have seen Julie's sign many times going over the bridge at Holden Beach. I must say I waited too long to make an appointment. Very relaxing with a combination of Swedish and Deep Tissue. Due to traveling for work I often have a sore lower back. This massage is just what I needed. read more

I regularly get massages at home. I knew I wanted to get one during my stay at Holden Beach. Strange beds and beach chairs are no small thing! Julie is a complete professional and top notch masseuse. I felt so good, I booked two!! I will definitely return and I recommend everyone get a little pampering on their vacation. read more

The best massage I've ever received and by far the lowest cost! It was the perfect experience for my boyfriend's first massage. Office was easy to find, safe, and relaxing. Julie Dean really listened to our requests and adjusted our massages based on our bodies. Unlike major massage chains or offices, I did not feel rushed or ripped off. 100% would recommend her services to anyone. read more

I was amazed to find such a top notch professional massage therapist while I was vacationing in Holden Beach. Not only was she by far more responsive and professional than the other more expensive (almost double the price) massage places I called, she also knew the exact pressure and body locations that left me walking out the door almost pain free after arriving in a significant amount of pain. Thanks Julie! I will definitely be back! read more

I was having problems with my lower back while on vacation. I found Julie Dean when I googled massage therapist and am so glad I chose her. Wonderful massage. Perfect amount of pressure the entire time. 5 stars!!! read more

Great massage, great value- $60 for 90 minutes! My wife usually gets me a massage for Father's Day while we're on vacation. This year I waited too long to schedule where I usually go, so I went online to find another place and found Julie. She is a warm, friendly, and professional therapist. I love having my back worked on. Julie works on your back first, then does the rest of your body. This was a change from what I'm used to, but I liked it- I think it really relaxed me right off that bat to where I was more relaxed for the remainder of my massage. I was so relaxed, I think I was drifting in and out of sleep! I'll be back to see her next year! read more

Took over a day to get back to me and when she did offered me an appointment that she filled within ten minutes before I could even respond. Poor customer service and I wasted my time waiting on a response. Should have just gone with someone else right away. read more

Julie did a wonderful job with giving a 90 minute massage. Great price for a 90 minute massage. She does great Swedish massage and deep tissue. I feel asleep and it is tough for me to fall asleep with someone massaging. I will definitely be returning back next year for a massage. read more

My back was killing me after a 500 mile drive down for my vacation at Holden Beach. I suffered through a tight back for a couple of days but then noticed Julie's sign on the main drag onto the island. Glad I saw it because I got one the the best massages I have had in a long time. She was pleasant and easy to talk to. She took the time to ask me about what areas I was most concerned about receiving treatment. Then she proceeded to give a great relaxing massage. Excellent technique. You owe it to yourself if you are looking to relax those tired muscles to give Julie a call. read more

We were having a girls weekend at the beach and I called Julie to see if she would come do massages at our home for the girls. She was more than happy to do this and everyone had an awesome, relaxing massage. I also had a previous massage with Julie. She was great at working on my lower back and giving me stretches to do at home. I would highly recommend Julie for anyone visiting this area. read more
