Found this little gem, after I could not in to my regular place. I was treated very well and service was very good

After a quick search and a terrible experience at a different spa in Charlottesville I found this hidden gem! I scheduled a deep tissue massage which was incredible. I wish I could remember the woman's name to recommend her to everyone. She listened to my requests which doesn't always happen and she got into places I always wanted but no one hit them. I went back the next week for a custom facial, it was lovely. I had never had a facial before so I was given a brief overview of the process. We had good conversation during the facial and my skin felt great afterwords. I highly recommend this place! I'll be back next week read more

Came in for a wax and had the best experience! The woman at the front desk is kind and made the sign in process really easy. Karah did my wax and was so sweet and friendly! She kept me chatting so I would think less about any pain which was very appreciated. I'm really happy with the results and would definitely go back to see Karah :) Everything is very clean, organized, and comfy. [There is also a lot for parking, so no need to stress about finding a spot on the street.] read more

I really enjoy this humble, little day spa that doesn't have some of fancier trappings of other spas, but has excellent services at very fair prices (and they take spa finder gift cards!) One of my favorite things is their $15 birthday voucher - it's a nice excuse to treat yourself on your birthday. I've had a full body massage there, a foot massage, and a pedicure. All have been terrific. Relaxing atmosphere, easy appointment bookings, and nice staff. read more

Such a relaxing experience. My husband booked us a couples massage here for my birthday and we had such a good time we were already talking about booking our next massage as we were leaving! Waiting room is comfortable and the staff was so friendly. Definitely will be returning! read more

I felt so welcomed and relaxed during my first visit to Silver Linings Day Spa today! The facility is quaint and clean and the staff is accommodating as I was made very comfortable during my visit. I received the 90 min massage/facial combo and the two flowed effortlessly together. Can't wait to return! read more

I've had high end massages in many countries around the world and I have to say that the deep tissue I had with the spa owner yesterday was among the best therapeutic deep tissue massages I've ever had. If you want a skilled healer who will really dig into your deepest knots, she is top. read more

This was a wonderful experience. My significant other and I went in for some last minute Birthday relaxation. Amy & Sherri were absolutely professional and amazing at their jobs. They truly listened to what areas of our bodies we wanted to focus on and even though we only were there for 30 minutes, it did not feel rushed at all. And, because it was a particularly special celebration, the staff even went out of their way to send us off with some goodies. It was the perfect touch. The area itself is very low key, but the space is clean and elegant and comfortable. We enjoyed the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. They also have some great deals if you check out their website! I cannot say enough good things about this place! I will definitely be coming back :) read more

I bought my boyfriend and I an hour long couples massage during our trip to Charlottesville. The whole experience was great! The lady at the front desk was welcoming, the facilities very clean and cozy and our massage was INCREDIBLE! We had Carmen and Riley. They have magic hands. Both my boyfriend and I were in awe at how well they "read" our bodies and worked kinks out we didn't know we had. We felt incredible when they were finished. Highly recommend! We will make this a must do every time we are in Charlottesville, which is often! read more

Very happy with the Pedicure I received. Spa is very peaceful and clean. Jolysa is attentive and friendly. She did a great job on my pedi and I left feeling rejuvenated. Can't wait to try a massage here.! read more

Amahhhhzing massage!!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staffs. Amy, Giselle and Carrie are all exceptional. I had deep tissue massage and they were all working my muscle out. Feel relax and all the knots from stress and working just went away. Great options for gift as well as couple massage read more

My husband surprised me with a couples massage for our anniversary. lt was wonderful. The ambience in the room just makes you feel at ease. He massage was everything I needed. I would recommend this place of your looking for a massage. read more

I have been seeing Karah for about a 1 1/2 years for both massages and facials. She is very thorough and relaxing for a facial. I am an athlete and was very pleased that she was able to really relieve sore muscles from my training and competing. Her technique is 'spot on' for what I need. The spa is clean, beautiful, relaxing and well equipped. Thanks Karah! I'll be back. read more

The atmosphere at this spa is wonderful; very friendly and easy-going, and the rooms are very warm, cozy, relaxing and well decorated. Karah gave an excellent massage, one of the best, and I've had many! She gave great pressure and spent equal time everywhere. The entire experience was so relaxed, like getting a professional massage in your own living room from a friend. The facial was great too, I left with dewy glowing skin. I will be making this my "regular" go-to spa, best one in town in my opinion, and I've been to several. read more

I was in an automobile accident last winter and have been dealing with those injuries and attendant pain. Someone I didn't really know in passing suggested Gretchen at Silver Lining Day Spa for therapeutic massage, and as my doctor had recommended focusing more on soft tissue work, I decided to give them a try. I am so grateful as her capacity to work with significant injuries and shift the body onto a healing trajectory is extraordinary. I'm sure she's fantastic for just relaxing massage as well, but in particular I would highly recommend Silver Lining and Gretchen for people dealing with injury and pain issues. read more

I had the pleasure of getting a 90 minute deep tissue massage yesterday with Amy. The massage was amazing! Amy was very communicative regarding pressure, and ensuring she was addressing the areas I felt needed addressing. I will be returning to get massages with Amy. The spa was pleasant, relaxing, clean, and smelled amazing!! Loved my massage with Amy and the whole experience. read more

Really wonderful experience here! Giselle did a fantastic job. She was a very calming and professional presence. She gave clear instructions during the massage that helped it feel more comfortable. read more

Had a full body massage done today and it was absolutely amazing. Very relaxing and all around great experience. 10/10!

I really enjoyed the thorough facial from Amy. The extra efforts she made to help me feel relaxed and refreshed made the difference. Everyone there is very welcoming and make your feel like you're the most important person there. read more

My friend and I came here and both really enjoyed it! My friend had received many facials from here and keeps going back. I got a massage and loved it! You cannot beat the great price and service. This massage was calming, relaxing, and overall a great experience. They may be small but I would recommend this over bigger spas I have been to in surrounding areas. I wish they were bigger so I could ensure appointments for a few friends and I to have a girls day! read more

Karah and Amy are amazing! My husband and I could spend hours on their tables. They offer a relaxing inviting atmosphere.

Went in for a second visit and there were no phones ringing! It was totally relaxing and the most perfect massage experience. We will definitely be back read more

I recently visited Silver Lining Day Spa for the first time for a deep tissue massage to work out some kinks in my back. The massage was the best I've ever had and I practically floated out the door afterwards. I'll definitely go back. read more

I love Silver Lining Day Spa! Through deep tissue massage with Karah, my migraine and vision problems, which sent me to numerous doctors with no help, are now in check! I'm so grateful! read more

Amy at Silver Linings is the best!! I'm sure the others are good as well, but she is consistently awesome for a massage. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The location has parking in front and I like that I can book online as their website is easy to navigate read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for a new manicure place, and it was hard to find something that was in a professional salon/spa setting yet still affordable. Silver Linings was a great find! Jolysa was attentive and warm during my gel manicure, and my nails look great a week later. Will definitely be coming back. read more

One of the first thoughts I had leaving Charlottesville was "How am I going to find someone as great as Karah at a spa in Seattle?" Answer: I still haven't. So anytime I'm back in Charlottesville, you can bet I'm looking up appointment times at Silver Lining Day Spa! I've gone to Karah for about the last 2 - 2.5 years for waxes & other various spa treatments and every time has been excellent and well worth it! read more

My husband and I had a couples massage and pedicure yesterday. The atmosphere was warm and Lindsay and Mary were great. I think my husband actually fell asleep at one point. The only feedback I have actually has to do with the massage room--there's too much light. I prefer a darker atmosphere. Some blackout curtains could solve this problem. The one thing I was surprised to learn is that there was only one person doing both of our pedicures at the same time. I wish I would have known that when I made the appointment. It was just awkward that the she (forgot her name, very nice woman) had to alternate between us, and the foot soaks were in a bowl instead of heated basins. My water got a little chilly waiting on my husband's pedicure that took longer because his feet were in rougher shape. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I would probably try a different place if I ever returned to the area. read more

This spa is staffed by kind and gifted people. A wonderful place.

I enjoyed my time here! I went in for an underarm waxing and it was my first time getting anything waxed. The employees were very welcoming and understanding. I did not feel uncomfortable at all during the process. I love the way they treat everyone with respect and have conversations with you like a regular person. I will definitely be going back for waxing and maybe even a massage! read more

Unfortunately, this review is only for the customer service we recieved at the Spa vs the service because we were never actually able to get our massages. I booked a couples massage on their website a few weeks ago. I recieved two email confirmations, and two text confirmations about the appointment. When we showed up to the spa, a very rude therapist was questioning our appointment and even asked to see proof which we gave her. She said "well, I dont know what to tell you but you cant get your massages today". We then recieved a phone call from another therapist apologizing for the mix up as there was a glitch on their online system and offering to give us a credit to come back, but we never saw that credit come through. We would have really liked to experience this place, but we will take our business elsewhere. read more

Eek! Methinks not! Sorry to say.... my experience was anything but pleasant. The aesthetician was nice enough however.... Upon my timely arrival I was asked to fill out simple 1/2 page form. Then my spa person promptly left the room for a full 15 minutes before returning to begin the service. A spa environment should be soothing and CLEAN. I glanced around the room. The wall to wall carpet had huge stains. The upholstered furniture was worn and dirty. The walls and trim had black scuff marks all over. Really awful decor and so shabby. Worst of all, the spa service was substandard. Ick, just plain ick!! The spa website advertises "World-Class Service" "Cutting-Edge Treatment". This is not anyones idea of a "Silver Lining". Karah, I hope this is not really your "dream". If so, you should visit a high end day spa. Then rethink. read more

This was such a simple, lovely, and relaxing experience. From the moment I walked in the door I was met with genuine smiles and greetings. The waiting area has a simplistic charm to it. The massage room was spacious. I would definitely return here for massage services in the future! read more

After driving for an hour to get there,the lady at the desk didn't even look up when we arrived. Also, it would have been very nice to know when this package was sold to us that there was only ONE nail technician on staff. My boyfriend had bought my daughter and I a package that included a massage and mani/pedi. That's 2 x 2 = 4 nail services. And there was ONE technician. We were there for 4 hours! It's a good thing I had a three day weekend. And the nail tech asked if I wanted my cuticles trimmed, and then she asked if I wanted a color???? These are things I expect whenever I get my nails done, and no one has ever asked me this. There is no professional massage chair with heated jet water either -- you get a water basin and regular chair to sit in. They should NOT be offering nail services. Then they sent their follow-up survey to my boyfriend who paid for the service but did not receive the service; I did not have the heart to tell him how disappointing this visit was. My daughter liked her massage, but I was not very happy with mine. read more
