I loved Barry! He totally solved my back issues and is absolutely a gem. I will be going back!

Great massage by Arrion - good pressure, communication and environment. I plan to visit one or two more times before I decide if the membership is right for me. read more

I highly recommend a massage at Serendipity Wellness Studio. The place is peaceful and comfortable, the staff are friendly and professional and there's designated areas for clients to park. They also provide a bag for your items and a robe with slippers during the massages. I scheduled the $150 Body and Sole package which included 60 minutes of a custom full body massage and 30 minutes reflexology massage. My only gripe was that there was an unnecessary interruption during the Body and Sole package I scheduled. That's because the client, not the masseuse, moves to different rooms for each massage despite the fact there was no scheduled break. Connie gave an amazing therapeutic massage. She combined swedish and deep tissue massages, then placed a warm towel on my back and an eye mask over my eyes while I laid on the heated table. There's also aromatherapy which made the room smell nice. The Foot Reflexology masseuse combined techniques to relax my feet. read more

I had a deep tissue massage yesterday at Serendipity Wellness Studio for 90 minutes with Steven and it was a wonderful experience. Not only was the studio quiet, calm and relaxing, but they are taking COVID procedures seriously. The massage was very soothing and just what I needed. I will definitely be back! I highly recommend this place. read more

I just got a 30 minute facial with Sara! Amazing!! I'm always pleased whenever I come here!!!

Run, do not walk, to make an appointment at Serendipity for an amazing massage with Barry Taylor. I'm not sure what sort of magic Barry uses but this was the best massage I have ever had. Professional, thoughtful, intuitive, and a great sense of humor, Barry is a gem. Thank you! read more

I just went to Serendipity Wellness for a massage with Trena and a facial with Ravi and I cannot say enough good things about both of them! Trena gave me a really unique experience I hadn't had before. She both made sure I had a really relaxing experience, but she also very intentionally stretched my shoulder joints with a variety of stretching techniques and I've never felt more limber. Also, I play volleyball and I immediately felt the difference the next time I played. She is very skilled, thorough, and professional. Next up, I went to my facial with Ravi who had not seen me in YEARS yet still remembered me. Just goes to show you some people are really strong in their interpersonal and customer skills. Ravi also gave me a really relaxing experience. She checked in multiple times to make sure what she was doing was still comfortable for me and when she was done with my face, it looked like I had no pores! Complete baby-smooth skin! She is an artist. My check in and check out process was super smooth and I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge how swift, friendly, and professional the receptionist staff was. I would definitely go back and would highly recommend going with Trena and Ravi if you want to leave feeling pampered and refreshed! read more

Time for an update! First off, this location is close to home! Second, everyone on staff is awesome! Third, pricing is very competitive compared to the big box spas! Tip: on Wednesdays, they offer 10% off a 60 minute or more service. Don't be distracted that you are walking up to what looks like a doctor's office. The entry way has self serve water, hot teas and coffee. They all sell doTerra essential oils and products. You can make appointments online. I loved my new therapist. I had not come in a year or so because I didn't really like the first therapist, can't remember her name. The hubby bought me a gift certificate so I thought I'd give them another try. Based on reviews, I booked with Luz! She is EXCELLENT! I have booked with her twice both 90 minutes and her skill is amazing! She takes care of those neck knots and I don't feel after-pain. She is also trained in Thai massage and I am so glad that her pressure is perfect. She is not a "chatter" which is another super plus! I come to relax not to chat which is the problem with some therapists. Liz is professional, very skilled and definitely knows her stuff! read more

I had bought a gift certificate for my wife for her birthday and she absolutely loved it. I recently decided to go myself. Tonya was my massage therapist. She was amazing. She listened and responded to what I requested. She found every knot and stressed area and took time to work each one out. I walked out of the building feeling so relaxed. The business follows strict COVID protocols and you can tell they value their customers and want them to keep coming back. read more

I got a massage here, and as soon as I walked in my therapist could tell what I needed help with just from how I was walking. It felt like he was Sherlock Holmes! read more

Raja was amazing! My neck and back were knotted and sore - I felt so relaxed and relieved after! One of the best massages I have ever had!

I've been to Serendipity Wellness Studio about ten times in the past few years but recently was my first visit since COVID. They have changed the entry procedures ensuring you and other guest are not entering/ exiting at the same time and there is now a $5 surcharge fee for the extra disinfectant supplies but the service itself remains the same. I've had a few technicians over the years and have tried a variety of massages but Aarion gets my highest recommendation. This man must be a rock climber because is consistent strength is unparalleled. I like a good deep tissue, one that hurts so good as the mussels get forced into compliance and Aarion knows how to manipulate the various muscle groups to provide relief. He has great tips for muscle aches and pains if you ask but otherwise allows you to enjoy your massage in a quiet atmosphere. Overall, the location is great, it's always clean, at a comfortable temperature and there is ample parking. You will have to walk up a single flight of steps, I didn't see an elevator but there maybe options available if that's a concern. I book my appointment using their online system and it couldn't be easier. Highly recommend. read more

I just had a massage here recently.. I found this place by the powers of Yelp and was sooo excited to give it a try based on the high ratings. Not sure why my experience seemed to be an outlier? I found my massage experience to be awkward and not relaxing. I won't name the name of the masseuse. Perhaps I should have stuck with a same-gender masseuse. Also, when I went to pay. It was unprofessional. The masseuse , instead of directing me to the receptionist, asked me straight up how much did I want to tip him. I said I prefer to speak with the receptionist and do the transaction privately . It felt weird . Almost like they were just trying to hurriedly usher me out after the massage was over. Secondly, as a new time client-the receptionist did not want to honor the discount . Overall, I don't think I will be back. Wish my experience was pleasant like everyone else's. I only give 2 stars because when I had set up the initial appointment, the lady I spoke with was so sweet and told me about the first-time client discount. But the actual massage and payment experience was lackluster and unpleasant. read more

This place is a waste of money. To begin with, they ask for the tip ahead of time so there's the first red flag. During the actual facial, which I was sweetly gifted by my sister, I told the aesthetician my skin goals were to extract blackheads from my nose and cheeks and to combat my skin's overall dryness. After cleansing, she spent a minute extracting three blackheads from my chin then stopped. She didn't even touch my nose, the area where I have the most blackheads, and justified the extremely short extraction period by saying I should pay for a longer service to have my white heads extracted "with a special tool" because according to her, I "have more whiteheads than blackheads." This honestly felt like she didn't care about my concerns and just wanted more money from me. I've gotten facials in the past with blackhead extractions, and I've never been told anything like this. The final moisturizing product after the mask (she only used one!!!) made my skin feel surface-level moist. My face was dry five minutes into my drive home. The only positives were that the cleansing/mask was good (my mom said my face looked very clean) and the aesthetician was nice. Overall, none of my skin concerns were properly treated. My sister paid a lot money to cleanse my face and have a mask applied to it, both of which I can easily do myself. I will not return and do NOT recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've been coming to Serendipity for quite a few years now and always have a great experience. I've tried several different therapists and all have been great! I also have enjoyed reflexology, balancing and stretching, the sugar body polish and ultimate facials. If you have a therapist you like, it is important to book at least a month in advance, however, if you are open to anyone, you can always get an appointment within a day or two. The facility is very clean and inviting and I love how they hot towel your body after massaging each area. read more

I never write Yelp reviews. I actually logged into my dusty, forgotten account after years and wiped off the cobwebs to leave this one because of how great my experience at Serendipity was. My boyfriend got us a couples' massage - the special occasion being that our bodies needed some healing after the messy blur that was 2020 - and it was one of the best massages I've ever had. His therapist was Raja and mine was Arrion. I'll speak to my experience, although I know Raja did great work too! Arrion has magic hands that target the areas that need it (mine were shoulders, thighs and hips and I communicated that at the beginning). Honestly, I was a bit nervous getting a massage during COVID, but the studio was very cautious of COVID safety from start to finish. In addition to the technique and pressure, there's plenty of small details during my massage that put it over the top (like the placement of a hot towel on my back after Arrion finished working on it as he moved to focus on legs) and the extra focus on scalp - who doesn't love their head rubbed? Thank you so much, Serendipity, for the offering. It was a great close to a tough year. read more

It's been 3 years since my last massage ... 3 years! And I should say the last few massages I had prior to the pandemic were subpar. Anyway, it was great to get back in for a massage. The establishment is very nice. It occupies what appears to be the entirety of the second floor, so it's very spacious. The room was comfortable--a white noise machine on low along with an iPod playing the sounds of ocean waves and tranquil music to help you relax ... the lights dim ... the temperature not too cold or warm. My masseuse talked with me beforehand and asked questions about any sensitive spots on my body, or any trouble areas ... amount of pressure, etc. And at several points during the massage, he asked me if the amount of pressure was good, and he adjusted accordingly. I should add, also, that this studio has a nice middle ground approach to COVID protocols. You're asked to fill out a questionnaire (pretty standard), and they have you wait in your car until your appointment (their waiting room is closed). I was a little skeptical until I called and it seems like they have a good system in place. I was upstairs and ready for my massage within 5 minutes of calling. They also handle all the payment upfront (including tip), though I'm sure if you want to pay the tip after, you could probably do that. One thing about massages that I usually don't like is leaving the place lathered in massage oil. It'd be one thing if I were going to lounge around a spa or the pool the rest of the day, but for everyday life, being all oily isn't a good thing. Fortunately, my masseuse applied hot towels to the regions of my body after he was done, and he offered me another hot towel at the end to wipe off any excess oil. I really appreciate that. My only "complaint" really isn't directed at the studio or even the masseuse, but it does seem to me that more and more massage therapists are using either their forearms or elbows to apply pressure. Maybe this is a technique they are taught, or maybe it is sort of a way for them to not wear out their fingers throughout the day--I don't know, but I would prefer if massage therapists wouldn't use their forearms or elbows, but maybe that's just me! All that to say, I enjoyed my massage and will definitely go back, especially since this studio is less than 5 minutes from my house! read more

The actual place was very nice and the atmosphere was peaceful. However my girlfriend and I had the worst massages ever. I do not think they were trained. Either massage therapist was good. It was awkward and the person talked throughout it. They seemed like an amateur. read more

My husband and I came to Serendipity for a couples massage for our ten year anniversary. Now I want to go back on a weekly basis. Our massage therapists took the time talk to us and answer any questions. If you don't already have a therapist here, ask for Laura or Chrissy. They were both amazing! We will definitely be going back more frequently. read more

Arrion Holt has been my massage therapist for years on and off. We recently returned to the area and the first thing I did was book a 90 minute massage with Arrion. Serendipity abides by strict hygiene measures to ensure the safety of the therapists and their clients. I appreciated the extra steps to ensure the studio was clean, inviting, and the aromatherapy diffuser just tied the zen atmosphere together. I love the shoes outside the door as to not track outdoor pollutants inside the clean space. Small details like asking clients to close the lid to the toilet before flushing, sustainably practices such as reusable hand towels, refillable soap dispenser, and leaving the bathroom door open after use. Now to the nitty gritty of the massage, Arrion used techniques that made me feel like I was getting a realignment built into a massage. The pressure was perfect from the start to the end of my session. Not once did I have to ask for him to adjust the pressure, which I had had to ask all massage therapist except Arrion. My body does not feel beat up or tired after my session. I want Arrion to spend a full 90 minutes massaging my head, neck, and hands, it's pure magic how he can relive any pressure or aches with his fluid movements. The heat vest and hot towels relaxed my muscles while Arrion worked on other area. I selected the Doterra Lavender as my aroma therapy scent and it was the right choice because I was so relaxed. Even though there are COVID safety measures in effect, my experience was that of what I experienced pre COVID. I highly recommend Arrion Holt at Serendipity Wellness Studio. read more

I had a massage here yesterday from Barry, and it was fabulous! Super nice guy, great massage therapist, and really listened to the problems I was having and addressed them. The place has excellent covid protocols, and I felt super safe. read more

I had a great facial and massage, I really recommend it. A clean place and very friendly people. I am convinced that I will return for a body massage.. read more

When I first started coming here, they had an incredible masseuse. I would have rated this place 50 stars at that time. However, I've tried a number of different people since that masseuse left and all were average/below average. For them, you could tell this was just a job and not a craft. That's something I can empathize with, but these massages aren't cheap. I mean do you really want ant to pay $100+ dollars for an average 60 min massage + tip. I have injuries so it does take quite a bit of effort and skill to maneuver around my body. However, it's not something a good masseuse can't accommodate. In my most recent and last experience here, the masseuse moved my knee in a bad way and strained my MCL. I had to ice my knee for a week. Also, it takes a lot of focus and practice to find a trigger point. I constantly found pressure being put on areas where they thought trigger points should be but weren't. Finding a good masseuse is like finding a needle in a haystack. I haven't tried all the masseuse here, but I've tried enough to say - you aren't going to find that needle here. read more

I had an organic facial with Megan and she was absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed the facial treatment, extractions, and massage. I believe Megan was very thorough and explained the products she used very well, as well as her recommendations. I hope to come back in the near future. I highly recommend Megan! read more

This is my favorite spa in Fairfax and there are many good ones in this city. Everyone is professional and all the masseuse are great. My go to is Arreon. He's the best masseuse I've had not only in Fairfax but everywhere I've traveled in the U.S and other countries. read more

Great massage! Barry was knowledgeable of how to work through some pretty tough knots, identifying where the root of the problem was, and approaching the problem systemically. Will definitely be back. read more

I sent my sister for her birthday to have a spa day and she was on cloud 9 after. Her only complaint was she couldn't be magically teleported home after. She said the Covid precautions made her very comfortable and everyone was attentive and caring. Thank you!! read more

Went today and had pre natal massage , definitely coming back. Raja was amazing, highly recommend this place. The place was clean and felt very safe because they follow covid guidelines. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my visit serendipity. The service was great and the massage was heavenly. I had tonya and she was amazing. She really made the service personal to me and I would highly recommend coming here. It is a bit expensive but I will definitely be coming here again to treat myself! read more

Oh my LAWD. I got the 60 minute custom massage and "the works" organic spa facial (package). It was heavenly. I had my massage with Jordan and it was AMAZING. The massage table was heated (soo nice) and he put lavender oil on the head rest for aromatherapy (loved it). While he was doing my legs he put a heat pad on my back. I decided to forgo all clothing for my massage to maximize my coverage (lol) and I must say Jordan has excellent sheet shifting skills. I felt completely comfortable the whole time. I seriously can't say enough good things. He incorporated some stretching as well which felt great. Like someone doing your yoga for you lol. The facial was also lovely. Yummy mint chocolate cleanser, followed by a mask, pumpkin sugar scrub, extractions (these were pretty painful to be honest, more-so than others I've had. I think using extraction tools instead of hands would have lessened the pain), another mask, a thorough lavender scented facial oil massage, rosewater toner, and moisturizer. The scalp massage portion was my favorite. I will definitely be back for another massage. It cured my stress 100%! :) P.S. I originally wrote this review under the wrong business. I have no idea how I did that! But since this review I also had a 60 minute custom massage with Jennifer, the owner, and she was absolutely fantastic. Totally love this place:) read more

I've been a subscriber for over a year now (on a brief break because of covid which is.. honestly devastating lol). The location is always clean, pleasant, and relaxing. Regarding my specific therapist, I see Vannessa, and she is absolutely wonderful. She remembers month to month your preferences and rough spots. Vannessa is also a bit more clinical about working out issues (and a little less ~incense and mood setting) which is 100% perfect for me. Looking forward to when the world isn't falling apart again so I can continue with monthly appointments. It's a little pricy, but if you have a good therapist, it is worth it. read more

As a small business owner I was looking for a team building exercise that would also benefit our personal health. I signed some of my team members up for Mobility Stretch classes and we attended together. We are all ladies in our 60's who do not have regular work out routines. Even on the ride home from the classes we are discovering more mobility in our bodies!! Amazing! I have been a Serendipity Spa client for 10 years but this new opportunity has now enabled me to add one more aspect of working toward my healthy lifestyle. Jennifer is an amazing health coach and so passionate she makes the "hard work" enjoyable!! read more

I had another outstanding massage from Serendipity! Connie has been my go-to therapist for over a year. She is very attentive to my preferences and continually checks on the pressure to ensure an optimal experience. It's always a great experience and I look forward to my next appointment. I highly recommend Connie to everyone, you'll be in great hands with her. read more

My daughter and I found this location on yelp, the massage was amazing! I got a regular massage and she got a prenatal massage. I would recommend this location to anyone in the Burke area. The people were so nice, they listen to your needs and ask you lots of questions before getting started. The atmosphere was just so relaxing. Everything was spotless. I love how they have face towels in the bathroom to freshen up after your massage. At the end they give you a folder with information...I have gotten a massage before at a chiropractic office and it honestly does not compare. It's pricy but you're getting what you paid for. read more

Serendipity Wellness Studio - The atmosphere is so relaxing...love the decor! - Day Spas Near Me - Burke, Virginia

This place SUCKS!!!!!! I'm having acute pain from a recent injury but they were TOTALLY AND UTTERLY UNSYMPATHETIC AND UNHELPFUL TO MY PLIGHT. Avoid these money hungry jerks like the plague. They advertise all these hours but have no openings for a working person. Not all of us are soccer moms. I asked for references for another place, but I received yet again an UNCARING vibe. read more

Serendipity is still my favorite. Got a couples massage with Darren and Jordan - both were great! They occasionally asked how we were and got all the knots out. I love the heated beds, warm rice pillows, and the scented aromas. Very comfortable and relaxing experience. read more

I work out a lot. With that being said I'm constantly foam rolling and doing other exercises to help keep my muscles/body in great condition. However at some point last year I knew my body needed more than what I can do on my own. After some research I decided to book an appointment with Raja. I let her know how I usually foam roll and she was able to figure out a deep tissue massage was exactly what I needed. Since this was my first time getting a professional massage she let me know I might feel a little sore afterwards but once the soreness went away I felt 1000% better before I walked in. Highly recommend coming here and will definitely visit again when I'm in need of a massage. read more

I just had the most amazing massage with Tonya at Serendipity. I feel like a whole new person! The studio is really nicely decorated and relaxing and the massage was the best I've had. I am really looking forward to coming back. read more

I came in for a 90 minute massage with Connie and I might be a brand new person. Legit, all the tension is gone from my body and the sore spots I had in my back and shoulder feel like they were never there. She used lavender in the room and I had to be careful driving home - I was so relaxed I felt like I had a whole day at the spa. Can't recommend this spot and Connie enough! Finding it took a bit of maneuvering - turn at the *second* Lyngate that you see and you'll be set. read more

Seriously what my body needed right now. I am a sufferer of chronic back pain due to injury and scar tissue build up and had let my pain go on too long due to COVID-19. They take all the precautionary steps to make sure that the client and masseur are as safe as possible, which helped me relax even more. I can not say in words how much better I already feel (though a bit sore) and will certainly not put it off this long again! Thank you, Serendipity Wellness Studio!! read more
