My wife suggested a massage appointment towards the end of the week…read more We had difficulty scheduling a couples or separate concurrent session with a massage place we normally use. Found The Ruby Spa on Yelp and wanted to try them. The hard part was scheduling using there chatbot messaging system when you call and the limitation was you can only schedule same day and not ahead of time. We did get an appointment later in the day and was very happy with the massage provided. The techniques described by the other reviewers is correct and I was surprised that I had areas that I did not know were issues! For those that used the massage place at Southpoint Mall, The Ruby Spa is similar! Both of us felt the massages provided by The Ruby Spa is one of the best in the area!

I went to see Kristine for about 2 years while I lived in Chapel Hill…read more Kristine was super flexible with me on scheduling. We would often text or email to set up an appointment which was such an easy way for me to get in touch. Kristine is an excellent massage therapist. She was gentle when I needed her to be and applied more pressure when I asked. She always asked me how the pressure was and made me feel comfortable. Kristine also has one of the best massage tables I've ever laid upon. I could easily fall asleep on it and I almost did a few times. Kristine's rates are reasonable and I highly recommend her! Her office location is great as well because there is plenty of parking.

It was very relaxing and everything smelled amazing. A few things differed from some other facials I've had at other spas in the past (not necessarily good/bad...just wanted to mention it). 1. There wasn't a strapless towel top to wear, but I still felt comfortable because I was under the sheet just like a massage. 2. They didn't pull my hair back in a towel or a headband, so I felt like it got in the way a few times. They did recommend products after, and I did buy one facial cleanser which had been nice so far. I always feel awkward at spas when they offer products. I didn't feel anyone was pushy, but I always feel obligated to buy something. I don't regularly treat myself to facials or massages, but next time I do I will visit this location!

Great massage in a clean and cozy environment. I heard about Flawless Day Spa via Groupon, and…read morefound a wonderful deal (~$30-40 for a 60 minute I Deserve It All massage). For the amount I paid, I was very pleased. However, do note that the 60 minutes actually includes the time spent leading you to the room, talking to you for a few minutes, and letting you undress and dress; it is not a full 60 minutes. The massage therapist was professional and effective, and would ask appropriately for feedback regarding the amount of pressure she was applying. I would come back again, although it is a bit pricey to pay full price. They do have massage packages that they allow you to split with others though, so I might try to do that instead. Also, note that this building is a little difficult to identify because there is no obvious signage. Follow Google Maps, and turn into a small parking lot next to a nondescript building, and that's it. When you walk closer to the entrance, you'll see their sign.

The attitude of the person I dealt with makes me never want to go again. My family has paid for a half dozen services and yet there is no thought to a long term relationship.

They are actually just around the corner from me and I would have considered making this a more regular stop, but one interaction has cost them a lifetime of business.
