I will say the receptionist was very professional and very caring.

Hands down the best spa in Pittsburgh!!! This is my treat your self place. Located on the third…read morefloor of the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, this spa has beautiful floor to ceiling windows that let in natural light and views of the local architecture. I book the services online, usually a couples massage with my husband. Customer service calls a few days before the appointment and are very friendly and professional. I like to go early and get a run in before unwinding in the saunas. Then, a glass of champagne in the quiet room to continue relaxing before my massage. The massage therapist are great!!! With my treatment, I choose an aromatherapy designed to stimulate the chakras and they use warm weighted neck pillows to help soften the muscle tension in addition to light pressure techniques. Just went and already booked my next appointment. Looking forward to it!

I apologize for this lengthy review! have been a customer of this business dozens of times for…read moreyears, and I will attempt to summarize all of my visits into one review. Body By Design offers many modalities of massage, including Swedish (for relaxation), deep tissue (for muscle knots), trigger point (for tightly contracted muscle fibers and pain), lymphatic (for reducing swelling and edema and supporting the immune system), sports (for athletes), prenatal (for pregnant women), reflexology (no medical diagnoses but a good foot massage), bamboo (for ironing out muscle knots), hot stone (heat for stretching muscles), lomi lomi (which is Hawaiian and is relaxing just like Swedish but uses longer, faster strokes), shiatsu (acupressure and some stretching to restore energy flow and relieve tight muscles), Thai (lots of stretching and compression), etcetera. If you schedule a 1.5-hour or 2-hour massage, then you will have more time to combine multiple modalities into one massage. The business also offers reiki (a gentle touching or hovering of hands for emotional and physical wellbeing), DermoNeuroModulation (which stretches the skin, stimulates nerves, and improves movement), and Ortho-Bionomy (which gently realigns muscles, bones, and fascia to improve posture, heal physical injuries, and relieve stress). Body By Design also offers several enhancements: hot stones or bamboo (mentioned above but also an add-on), cupping (which increases blood flow in muscles and feels very energizing but also leaves temporary red marks on the skin!), aromatherapy (which smells good and relaxes you), exfoliating scrubs for the hands and feet (to remove dead skin cells and soften the skin), CBD oil (to relieve pain and produce relaxation), and oxygen gel (to soften the muscles). Body By Design employs several massage therapists. I have received massages from all of them, and they all have very pleasant personalities and give highly therapeutic massages. In general, I have found that the therapists Heather, Mareena, Sugar, and David talk a little during massages and give somewhat gentler massages. I have found that Mark and Donna Marie talk more, and their information educates me about what exact muscles have knots. Page specializes in Ortho-Bionomy. Prices for services range from $63 for a 30-minute session to $163 for a 120-minute session plus a tip, and you can receive a discount with a membership or a package. Appointments can be easily made either through Body By Design's website, the MindBody mobile application, or telephone, and they send emails and text messages as reminders.

Found a HEADSPA in Pittsburgh, yes, Pittsburgh! What a gem. Staff is exceptional and…read moreaccomplished--the pods were a new touch for me and boy, I didn't know I needed it. Upon entry, we were treated enthusiastically and shown the small and intimate space. It was a treat for mom/daughter to experience the luxury of headspa, something I haven't experienced since visiting Japan. The changing area is quaint and use of a sauna is made available before our treatment to simply relax, enjoy each other's company, and chat about life--what a gift! We were offered hydration and a clean restroom was available for any biobreak. We were each guided to our respective station and slipped into a cocoon of warmth (pod)--the treatment begins! Honestly, I'd much prefer a heads to full body massage, but that is just me and the experience I make of this simple luxury. Upon conclusion of the pod treatment, we were placed into styling chairs for a quick blowout. Yes, I highly recommend. How did it compare to Japan? Well, all I can say is that Opulence is the BEST since my return to the U.S. and it's my easy go-to when in Pittsburgh. Definitely stays on my list!
