I've gotten a massage from here 3 different times each time I got it from someone else and each one was great! I'll definitely be going back here for a massage again they have friendly staff here and definitely have made me fell comfortable there read more

I cannot say enough good things about Darleen, the massage therapist I have seen. She is personable and has done an excellent job reducing tension in my muscles, especially my upper back. The Lava Spa is relaxing from the minute you enter the door. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing spa and place. Loved my massage and the relaxing presentation, the pools, and the music.

Had a couples hot stone massage today and it was the best massage I've ever gotten! The spa was very clean, had refreshments for us while we waited and everyone was super nice! they asked us all the usual, any specific areas, the pressure, and the heat of the stones Very pleased with Lava Spa! read more

Booking the session was impossible and the communication with the therapist who cancelled me just prior to the appointment was not helpful. She offered no other alternatives and was unjustified in her last minute cancel. Time to get organized and get some more help- good luck. Terrible experience, unprofessional, I would not return. read more

I've had multiple services at this spa over the years, facials, massages, pedicures (no longer offered, sadly) and body treatments. The staff is amazing and always professional and courteous. Quality skincare products at a reasonable price point also! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Just in the area for a few days and was having an issue with sore muscles. Thankfully the reviews for Lava Spa didn't disappoint. I was able to get in the next day due to a cancellation. Alicia was amazing I left feeling relaxed and restored. I would highly recommend this business read more

Hidden gem in South Utica! I moved here from Washington DC, and I have to say that the service here is actually comparable to the level of service one would receive in a big metropolitan area. Literally, I was a regular there..I have got massages (with and without stones), facials (lemon drop smells yummy), body wraps (for dress/cuteness emergencies), waxes (enough said) and body scrubs (by far my favorite treatment overall-hot stone crush!!). The Staff is accommodating with scheduling as well. My only complaint is that I can't take lava spa with me now that I'm moving out of the area. I even did a birthday spa day there, and the owner, Curry, went above and beyond to make that day special for me. Give them try!!! read more

Our last visit was a while ago, and it was nothing short of absolutely fantastic. My wife and I went there for a couples massage, and I will be honest with you is the best thing ever. If you have the means I highly recommend it. I plan to, maybe schedule something for My Wife for Mother's Day as well. You need to hurry up and schedule appointments though because they fill up pretty fast. read more

This place was amazing. I got a prenatal massage and it was incredible. My massage therapist was amazing and made me feel comfortable. I will be returning. I am so relaxed now! read more

Came for the first time a couple weeks ago. I got a hot stone massage from Kayla who was very kind and made sure I was relaxed. I'll definitely be back. read more

Lava spa is my go-to for waxing. Highly recommend Sarah, she's an absolute professional at what she does and so friendly!

First time there, worked with Danielle. She was professional and welcoming. Spa clean and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely will go back again read more

Me, my mother and our friend Amy came with us to get a pedicure, massage and facial. The best part about this place is the intimacy - you stay only with the party you came with and you don't even have to know there is anyone else there!! The sauna was fantastic - a great way to get ready for the services to come. The customer service was great. Best facial I've ever had by far! The massage was awesome and relaxing, and she really got to some areas that needed some kneading out. The pedicure would be the only thing that was just OK - my recommendation is get the more expensive things done like body scrubs and facials and massages - skip the little stuff. Overall a wonderful first experience and I can't wait to go back and try foot reflexology! read more

What to do when you find yourself in Central New York in the middle of winter? You get a massage, of course! I had the pleasure of receiving a hot stone massage from Keri this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. She asked me my preferred massage pressure and did a great job on keep with my request. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a day of relaxation at this adorable gem of a spa ASAP! read more

After only one day of posting what I felt was an honest review I was absolutely amazed that the owner herself called to apologize and offer the same service at no cost to make up for my less than perfect experience. I have been to lava spa in the past for a couples massage and personal massage and had very enjoyable experiences. This one time was just so different . It left me feeling so let down and unsatisfied. But then I got this phone call . It was so heartfelt. I was given a possible explanation, apology and offer of restitution . All were above and beyond what I would have expected. This is how every business should conduct themselves . Pride in what they do and total attention to the clients they are providing services for. I tried to refuse the free service because the call was more than enough for me. I am so grateful however that my sister will benefit from the service and I will be bringing my husband back with me for a couples massage. Thank you so much for your response . read more

Bought a gift certificate for my mom for Mother's Day and she absolutely loved this place. I believe Chelsea was the lady who helped her out/ gave massage-- either way she swears by this place and now I know what to get her for her birthday and every Mother's Day from here on out! read more

I booked a massage at Lava Spa to treat myself as a graduation gift and I had the best experience! The atmosphere was very clean, relaxing, and comfortable. Chelsea did an amazing job using the perfect amount of pressure and providing a very relaxing environment. The overall experience left me feeling wonderful, rejuvenated, and refreshed. I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends and family in the area! read more
