Service was good staff was accommodating and the space was clean. I look forward to returning. This is a place to come just for your appointment but not a spa to spend an entire day at. read more

Wonderful place great massage. I'm definitely going back. Being new to this area I was very happy to find this place.

Beautiful spa atmosphere. April is amazing nail technician Front desk friendly and helpful. Spa also has fun jewelry, cards read more

Beautiful establishment with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have been coming here for over ten years and love it! Whether you would like to have a bikini wax to spray tanning to a pedicure or a facial. They have a wide variety of services offered and a very beautiful and comfortable waiting room, which I might add. Don't wait, book your appt now! You won't be sorry read more

I had an open lunch hour and found this place online. After reading the reviews I decided to give them a call. They had a same day opening....whoooohooo. Had a wonderful therapeutic massage. The facility itself is a pleasant space along with the staff. My massage itself was relaxing and enjoyable. Will be back. Happy to have found a place that is not a chain massage place. #newhappycustomer read more

Ok..turning 40 is a BIG deal!! My plan was to enjoy "me time" on this special day and I must say that getting a facial from Kelly and a warm stone massage from Patricia were the most relaxing things I have done in a while and I can't wait to go back!! read more

This is a relaxing atmosphere, nice ambience. I was attending a workshop in the area and was treated by my friend. I enjoyed my massage which was much needed. Thank you. Marcia MD read more

From accommodating my need to reschedule my first-time hydro facial to later the same day, to spending 20 minutes addressing my concerns about my sensitive skin condition, Kelly was a wealth of knowledge, patience, and compassion. She offered me several options to make sure my skin wouldn't react to the treatment process and communicated with me to make sure I was physically comfortable the entire time. I left the treatment room with skin healthier than it has looked in years. I'm so glad I tried hydro facials. They are a game changer! But I'm even more glad my first experience was with Kelly. She makes you feel truly pampered and taken care of. I'll be going back!!! read more

This is just such a special place! I have been coming here for many years, primarily for pedicures, which are great (thank you, April!); I have also had waxing, body scrubs, and massages - all very good. I routinely purchase a number of unique items as well - Next up, I am going to try one of their much-lauded facials...can't wait! read more

I really enjoy my experience at Sanctuary Spa every time I go. The environment is so calming, and I give myself this treat to just unwind. I really like working with April, she is friendly but also gives me quiet time while I am getting my pedicure so I can just relax. Highly recommend. read more

So, all is well. Had a fantastic hydro-facial and brow tinting. After a miserable start, Sanctuary Spa is now my new favourite place!

I dont need to say anything. You can see everything for yourself. Just a classic manicure. read more

I've been coming to Sanctuary Spa for about a year of monthly "self-care". I've had nothing but wonderful experiences, everyone is just lovely. Dawn is one of the massage therapists I've ever gone too, and April is fantastic with my nails! read more

Unwanted body hair would have been better than my waxing experience this evening. It took 2+ hours and the hair wasn't adequately removed from my legs, underarms or bikini line. Nothing soothing was put on my body and the wax was so stuck to my skin the aesthetician could not remove it despite her best efforts. To make things right i was given a discount, yet I still was billed $62 on a bad wax job. My waxer never once told me "there is a problem with the wax" or "sorry this is taking way longer than i expected". I should have known something was wrong when she was using hard and soft wax simultaneously on my skin but I stupidly never questioned her. I thought she knew what she was doing! I have to go someplace else for a clean up tomorrow to fix this half-ass job so clearly I'm very disappointed. Long story short, I would never recommend this "spa" and I would never go back! read more

the woman (i think her name was heather?) who did my eye lash extensions was really nice but I feel like she may have not been as experienced as she should've been. I got these for vacation, came on december 18th and by the 23rd I only had the edges of my extensions left on instead of the two weeks I was told. major fallout happened which was so sad because i paid a good amount for them. I couldn't even come in to get them fixed since most of them fell out while I was on vacation. other services here may be good but my demi lash extensions were not. so disappointing :( I always hear of people ripping out their extensions when they don't like them but I didnt even need to do that since they fell out so easily will be calling tomorrow to see if there's anything that can be done but I doubt it. the two stars are there instead of one because the girl was nice and so was the place read more

Always leave feeling great! Wonderful facials, manis and pedis! Highly recommend!

Great place. Always pleased with the facials. My face is so soft and smooth afterwards. Everyone is always pleasant as well. Highly recommend! read more

Every time I had a service at Sanctuary Spa I had fabulous service. If I didn't move away, I would be begging to make an appointment as soon as they open back up after the statewide shutdown. read more

1st time at the Spa - scheduled a facial - Front desk was pleasant, my appointment was on time and Kelly was wonderful, thorough, informative. Loved the experience ! Will be going back for sure! read more

I went spur of the moment and had a massage and body scrub. So great and reasonably priced.

Had a wonderful experience at Sanctuary Spa! They are very professional but also kind and comforting. Do yourself a favor as soon as it is possible to enjoy their many services. Connie Greeley read more

I am absolutely over the moon with this establishment. I've been coming here for over a year now and never once have I left disappointed. Heather is an absolute delight and her care is unmatched. She has done my hydra facials since I've started coming here and the results are absolutely everything I could want. Not to mention, she actually cares as much about my skin as I do. Would give 6/5 if I could read more

My best friend and I visited Sanctuary Spa for a surprise girls day gift from our husbands. The service was impeccable and their products were well made and so nice. Is definitely come back again and would recommend anyone else to book services. read more

Wow-- this is a hidden gem! Nestled next to China Royal and a paint store, this spa delivers the goods in a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. After you're in the door, you forget you're in a strip mall. When you walk in, you are warmly greeted by their receptionist/scheduler, and you're offered some coffee. She escorts you a comfy lounge with a fireplace, magazines, couches, etc.. As you get settled, she brings in your coffee, prepped to your liking. 10 points right there. :-) Your aesthetician meets you and brings you back to your treatment room. The treatment rooms are immaculate. My treatment room was a dedicated wax room (from what I could tell), so it had a slightly clinical feel to it. This is fine with me; I want my chick to be able to see what she's doing; brazilian bikini waxes are not the time for mood lighting and Enya. The Sanctuary has two waxers on staff; Michelle was the gal worked on me, and she was great. She has the perfect gift for gab so you're gladly chatting away while she's slathering your nether-regions with blue wax. Speaking of blue wax: This salon uses Cirepil as their wax, which is AWESOME. It doesn't require strips of fabric-- it just goes on with a spatula and is given a minute to cool off. Cirepil only adheres to hair (not skin), so you won't be finding bits of mystery wax in your girl-bits for two days afterwards. Cirepil doesn't hurt nearly as much as other kinds of wax because it's not ripping off a layer of skin along with the hair. SRSLY. Accept no substitutes. Listen to your good ol' pal Jill. Other good stuff to know: [] ATTENTION MEN! The other waxer-gal (not Michelle) specializes in men's brazilian waxes. So if you've always wanted that magically slick back, sack and crack, you know where to go. I hear she has a very devoted following. [Update: My beau went to her for his very first back waxing. He's officially a convert.] [] I usually avoid spas that also offer nail services because you can smell the nail stuff while you're trying to enjoy the scented oils of your massage. These folks figured it out, though: The nail salon is up front by the receptionist, so the acrylic nail smells (which were barely noticeable) stay very far away from the very-separate treatment rooms. My only complaint (which is why I took off a star, perhaps unfairly) is that my wax girl had me drop trou while she was standing there. Yes yes, I understand she's about to have extreeeeeme full contact with my personal smushie equipment, but one last moment of sanctity would have been spiffy. But really, I'm over it already, and I will totally be back. I can't wait to try their massages and facials-- they seem very reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is ideal. Give them your business! read more

I have to agree with Jill when she says it's a hidden gem. You hardly notice the place and the outside doesn't do the inside justice. I got a prompt appointment with a lovely aesthetician for a waxing. They have blue waxing available which I searched hard for, for about two days prior to finding this spa. Overall, I had a great experience, with an aesthetician who knows what she is doing. My results lasted for about three weeks. I can't wait to go back!. Wow, I'm excited. read more

Though my first massage was not quite what I had been hoping, I did return and had a great experience. Eva was an excellent massage therapist, and I highly recommend her. The massage was truly relaxing; Eva paid attention to the details to be sure I was comfortable, that she was using the right pressure, etc. The owner of the salon was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to be sure I was pleased. I appreciate their commitment to quality of service. I look forward to patronizing Sanctuary Spa again in the future. read more

I have traveled to over 40 countries & visited hundreds of beauty salons, Sanctuary Spa is the best. Whether I have a facial, massage or manicure/pedicure their staff are kind, meticulous, industry experts who do an outstanding job consistently. During these tough days of COVID, being able to relax in a safe, meticulously clean and elegant facility as Sanctuary Spa, has given me the oxygen I need to encourage and support my family and friends. Sanctuary Spa is a 10 PLUS in my book! read more

I had a facial here, which I have never had before. I don't think I like facials based on this experience. There were a lot of heavy aromas, sometimes feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. I left with A LOT of stuff on my face. I was shiny. The scent of something she applied stuck with me, so the suffocation sensation continued. I went straight home and showered. I still smelled like heavy florals, but I could at least breath. I had the idea in my head that a facial should make you feel clean and light- freshly scrubbed. This was a long, long way from refreshing. Oh, and I still had a blackhead on my chin. Surely, that should have been taken care of. read more

So a few weeks ago I was cruising the net looking for a new place to get my beautification done. I came across a few yelp reviews for Sanctuary Spa. So I researched a few other places and ultimately ended up booking an appointment, hoping that the reviews were correct. WELL let me tell you I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm a sucker for great customer service and I must say being greeted and offered coffee, tea or water and lead back to the lounge was a great start. I was then introduced to Marie (my esthetician) and lead to the work room. It was super clean, smelled fresh, and there was tranquil music playing all good signs in my book. I wasn't as taken aback by the fact that I needed to get undressed right there with Marie because well...the reviews prepared me for that. However when it came down to business Marie was an angel. She was super friendly and we talked the whole time because for me silence just makes the experience too weird. That blue wax they use...AMAZING!!! It was the lease painful waxing experience and I was totally pleased. I will absolutely be coming back to Sanctuary for all my future appointments, and I highly recommend this place to any girl in the Tri-State area who prefers her "Goddess Goblet" looking its best! read more

I don't think I can top Jill K's review, that's funny and I couldn't agree more. The staff is great, Joanne,Megan,Janet, Melissa,and Devon( the staff that Ive met),are friendly,experienced and make the visit very relaxing. They all take pride in what they do and you can see that from the minute you walk in the door until you walk out. read more

Typically good service and great personnel. I visit about once a month and always find their business to be a place of professionalism combined with CDC guidelines for pandemic for a safe visit. read more

Sanctuary spa is a beautiful, calm, clean space with a wonderful therapists and management. Anyone from any walk of life feels comfortable here and receives the highest quality treatments. As a family run small business, Sanctuary Spa deserves our patronage and support during this pandemic. We still need to take care of ourselves even during these crazy times. This lovely day spa will help you do just that. read more

I have been to a lot of spas all over the country, and The Sanctuary is absolutely the best! It's beautiful, quiet, and so relaxing. It's a small very well run hidden gem with skilled technicians who really care about their clients and take the time to get to know them to ensure a positive outcome after every visit. Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed. read more

Now more than ever, this place really is a sanctuary! Always get great service and wonderful treatment here. Whether it's a pedicure or a massage, I leave here feeling relaxed and forgetting about all the craziness happening in our world right now. And for that reason alone, it's a bargain at any price! read more

Enjoyed going to sanctuary, but they increased their prices again. My service by $50......too much. Don't want to, but found reputable service for $60 less for Braz. Wax. Going to give it a try. read more

This is probably the only place I'll ever spent $21 to get whybrows. These were literally the worst eyebrows I've ever had, and probably the worst I'll ever have again. Even the girl who did them said I could probably fix them by putting eyeshadow where the brow should have been. They're also the only brows I've ever cried over. Literally, legitimately cried for a few hours until I worked up the courage to fix them, because I couldn't possibly show my face in public with them unless I wanted to end up in a fail compilation for the rest of my life. Looking at them in the mirror to fix them was almost impossible - I was that upset. The girl at the front desk was nice, at least. She asked if there was anything she could do to make it better. The hair was already off, and if she thought the other girl (who had botched the job in the first place) was better at waxing than herself, I wasn't letting either anywhere near my face. The damage had already been done. What could they possibly do to fix it that wouldn't make it worse? I wasn't going to stick around to find out. I spent about an hour of trying to fix the multiple mistakes in shaping, height, patches of hair left behind, and unfinished edges, and they finally look like adopted stepsisters - you can tell they're not related, but they're trying to dress alike. That's the best I could possibly hope for after this event. I never thought I would ever call a salon visit traumatic, but here we are. What's worse is that I have an interview in 36 hours, and that was why I went there in the first place. I still have all the stresses of preparing for an interview, but now I also get to worry about my eyebrows until they can grow back in. At this point, I've seriously considered shaving them off entirely and overnighting those eyebrows for alopecia/cancer patients, but I couldn't find any online stores with same-day shipping, and I'm not sure where to buy them locally. Obviously never going back, just want to warn others before they make the same mistake and come here. Hoping to save as many brows as possible. read more

Came here for a massage pre-Covid. The massage was relaxing and I felt pampered. Just what I needed!

I'm new to the area and it was time for me to find a new aestathician. A co-worker recommended this place to me. When you drive up you'll be skeptical but go inside! It's gorgeous. Michelle did my services and she was awesome. Very detailed. She didn't leave the room while I got undressed which I thought was a little weird at first. Then I realized that she's going to see it all anyway lol. I'll definitely be back. read more

I feel like I was at the wrong place after reading the other reviews here. I have had Brazilian waxes regularly for a few years now, and at a few different cities. My results at sanctuary spa were unacceptable. 1 hour after my appointment I notice only 50% of my hair was actually removed. The rest was just broken and not even at the skin. It was all stubble, evenly dispersed across the area - my husband is more smooth 1 day after shaving his face. It grew in within a week. The worst part - I've only had a couple of in-grown hairs in the past, and nothing painful. When this grew back I had nothing but in-grown hairs - and painful. I waited 2 months before trying to wax again just to let it grow out... and the in-growns continue It's hard to find a good place for this service that isn't charging you a ridiculous amount - but I'll pay a premium and avoid Sanctuary read more
