This is one of the spas in town that actually feels like a spa. The atmosphere is so peaceful with darkened hallways and beautiful lighting. If you are having multiple services done then they have a room to slip on your robe and lock your items in a locker. I have gotten several massages since COVID started and I will say that this spa takes the highest precautions. I actually was disappointed that the tea wasn't served due to this, but I am sure when the pandemic is over it will be back. The serenity oil blend is fantastic and made by a lovely woman named Stacey. I had a massage and a facial today and enjoyed both very much. There is also a retail store in the lobby that sells many great products like Jurlique, Aveda, etc.

Worst massage I have ever had and only not positive massage review I have written outside of one…read moremassage envy which was charging me membership fees illegally after canceling multiple times and kept doing it despite interventions... you get the point. I think some of this could be related to the particular massage therapist but some not. It is a really beautiful spa the nicest I have been to in Wilmington but it smelled so stale, the beds were moist and did not seem clean and it was COLD and the bed was not heated. Also, it is on you who they hire. My preference is to have a female therapist and to be fair I really should have specified this when making the appointment or even asked but I didn't do that's on me. Admittedly I have had so many massages in my life if I had to guess upwards of 100 in my 30 years of life. Many of the times the nicer spas will ask your preference of a male or female or you make the appointment online. For example another spa in Wilmington I was looking to make an appointment and they asked if it was okay if it was a man and I said I would just rather not. However I have had a few massages my a male therapist and typically it's uncomfortable for me for the first few minutes or so and then it doesn't matter at all because you are relaxed and I'm over it. This was not my experience at all. It was as gen z would say "a vibe". He would NOT stop talking during the massage itself. That is my absolute pet peeve. There are only two maybe three massages I have had where they talk during the massage outside of asking if the pressure is okay in the first few minutes. It should be that you are so relaxed that you can't respond. He asked unnecessary questions like "How long have you been having headaches?" "Are you cold, you seem very cold to the touch and laughs..." while massaging my clavicle like that's not even a question. Asking how it's going every few minutes is just terrible. He also did this neck stretch that to be fair he asked if it was okay but it literally pulled some kind of muscle in my neck on the right side. Massages can cause some pain afterwards but this is different. No business doing a stretch like that forcing your neck forward especially when my only complaint was chronic migraines. Also, he massaged my inner thighs with light pressure. I have only had one other massage in my life that did that but it was by a girl to be fair but it felt more intentional. Also, I had scheduled a deep tissue massage and it 100% was not that. It was a Swedish massage with all those standard techniques. Also, the massage I scheduled was supposed to be lavender. We did aromatherapy at the beginning and end and it was in the oil. I love lavender. I have had all different brands of lavender essential oil and lavender scented all kinds of stuff, this did not smell like lavender at all. I told the lady at the front desk that and she said it was and that's totally fine maybe it was a different type of lavender or some kind of mix. I almost suspect some kind of CBD oil but that's me being overly paranoid at this point just because it smelled a little like that but I did not ask for that and did not want that at all. In conclusion. I really recommend other spas/massage places. I've been to 5 other ones in Wilmington and all were better experiences than this I just went here because I had a gift card. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I had the HydroFacial combined with dermaplaning and red light therapy, and I can honestly say it was the best facial I've ever experienced. From start to finish, it felt luxurious, personalized, and incredibly effective. Mary Hannah is a total gem--gentle, knowledgeable, and so thorough. She explained everything she was doing, made me feel completely at ease, and left my skin smoother, brighter, and more radiant than ever. Self Skin Studio is also the best if you're looking for Botox, Filler, or Microneedling in Wilmington, NC! If you've been thinking about treating yourself, this is your sign. I can't recommend this combo--or Mary Hannah--highly enough. Self Skin Studio is truly next level.

Abby sweetly walked downstairs to greet me after my call requesting directions once I entered the building (it's upstairs by the way lol) The moment I walked into the practice , I was stunned by the simple and modern elegant decor. First treat of my day was the dermaplane facial, and it was truly amazing. Not only was it incredibly relaxing, but my skin felt rejuvenated afterward....for days! That was shocking because my skin is crazy dehydrated!! The esthetician, Mary Hannah was professional and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to assess my skin, listen to my goals/wants for my skin and provided her expert suggestions while addressing my biggest concerns. I felt genuinely heard, and Mary Hannah easily earned my trust!! The next was a biggie for me. Originally I was nervous about fillers in general. I learned the importance of trusting your practitioner/injector. I opted to have Sculptra filler treatment done by Katie, and I couldn't be happier with my decision!! Katie took the time to listen to my desires and hopes for my skin, and she provided her professional expertise while focusing on my specific concerns. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me was truly impressive. I love that the company name, Self Skin Studio, aligns perfectly with their philosophy. Katie and Mary-Hannah designed a treatment regimen that focused on nurturing and enhancing my own skin, and I couldn't be more grateful!! If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the expertise of Katie and Mary-Hannah, I highly recommend booking an appointment today. Not only are they incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but they are also beautiful people inside and out. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the end results after my additional Sculptra treatments. I know it will be worth the wait, and I just need to remind myself to practice patience. Trish, the owner is absolutely lovely! Her presence and leadership have set the tone of the entire practice. It is evident there is a strong sense camaraderie and genuine care among the staff. The energy is more of a family rather than co-workers which creates and positive and uplifting energy! Overall, my experience at Self Skin Studio was exceptional. The spa itself exudes a classy and modern ambiance, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you feel welcomed. I highly recommend this medical spa to anyone looking for top-notch skincare treatments and a truly personalized experience! Looking forward to seeing these lovelies again soon! Thank you for being so wonderful!!!!

Colby called me and asked about my skin/hair type to figure out the right type of laser for me. The pricing for a touch up was very reasonable. The building was beautiful, the staff were so kind. They allow you privacy to get changed and give you a fancy skirt coverup (I have never been given that at a laser location before and usually have had to get undressed in front of the staff which is awkward). It felt like a spa experience for laser which I have never experienced. They even offer you a drink. I was blown away and would highly highly recommend. My only complaint was I reached out asking if I should shave before a touch up and didn't hear back, and I was in fact supposed to, so there could've been slightly better communication and instructions- but I also didn't follow up or call to ask so that's partially on me. 10/10, definitely go here.

If you are looking for good tanning beds, this is not the place. However, there is nothing on this side of town so if you were like me and desperate them you get a month membership. The place is situated like a maze with different rooms everywhere. Most of it is for the actual salon. There are 4 tanning beds. She does monthly packets that you don't have to sign a contract for. I thought that was nice. I guess I am spoiled with Saule tanning across town where the beds and place is immaculate and actually less expensive. I would definitely go back here for a massage or a service cause I did like the owner. If you are a lover of a high quality tanning experience, this is not it. They are closed weekends and after 5 on weekdays, too so that makes it really rough. Good people, though!
