I was really excited to try a new spray tan place in Charlottesville after being disappointed in…read moresun tan city. I tried The Well Room and it was a beautiful location and setup with very friendly staff. I noticed that during the spray, the lady only did one layer. She did not do a through job. She patted me down and assured me that the blotches would come off with my rinse 8 hours later. My first comment is that I selected the darkest shade and it is definitely not standard "dark" more like a medium. My tan is very splotchy. I'm really disappointed as I paid a more premium price for this service and it looks like I self tanned.

I had been fighting a little head cold and it was a dreary, cold, rainy Richmond day and I knew a good sauna was just what I needed!

I sweated out whatever I needed to and I am sure the red light was beyond healing! Can't recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and heal from the inside out with a good sweat!

It was super clean, modern, and the staff was accommodating and helpful in answering all of my questions. They provide you with everything you need - towels, makeup wipes, towelettes, and even hair ties. My room came with an infrared sauna and cold plunge tub. The sauna had adjustable temperature and light settings. The sauna could go up to 150F and the tub was set at 45F. In my 60 minute appointment, I was able to do three sauna and three cold plunge sessions, so it was the perfect amount of time. I really love that I get the room to myself, so I could move freely between the sauna and tub. There is both a timer and digital clock, so you can time your sessions yourself. This place is perfect for all your detoxifying and restorative needs. I can't wait to come back!

*Part 3 Of 3* 2/1/25…read moreTHE MASSAGE EXPERIENCE: Once I dried myself off, I tried to put on the tiny woman's robe again, but the results were a nothing doing. In the end, I wrapped the robe around my waist and headed back into the room I started in. I could have saved myself the time and trouble by walking back to the room B.A.N, but that would be considered inappropriate and I probably would have been seen if I had. I saw no one walking back to the room. Back inside I saw i had missed a largely section of water still on my body. Drying off the water, I choose one of the massage beds that could be set up for couples massage. Personally, I prefer the solo experience of a massage. It's a me time thing. Once on the table, I found myself sandwiched between the fabric of soft sheets and a thin, but warm blanket. As a precautionary measure, I used my towel a a barrier between my naked body touching the sheets. It's just something I do at most Massage Establishments. I don't like putting my face in the face cradle, because people cough while in them and germs and viruses have a way of coming home with the new host. I either use a face barrier or don't use the face cradle/hole in the massage table. If i am asked about why this is, I normally say "I am claustrophobic" and that end the questions for that discussion. Some time passed between laying on the massage table and the next person who would be doing my massage. The Massage Therapist turned out to be a lady named Jen...at least I think so. Jen did not waste much time once in the room. She started with the preliminaries of needing and probing to loosen up my tight muscles. This seemed to take a while and I am not sure how much time was used out of my "50 minute massage." 50 minutes is not an hour massage and its very...oh, well get to that. Jen ended up climbing on to the table doing what I call The Cat Massage. She used her knees, arms and body weight to massage my upper and lower body. I found this enjoyable while it lasted. Once the preliminaries were over, sections of my body were exposed from the sheets to be massage. Jen followed her training of draping for a professional massage therapy session. Jen massaged the arms, shoulders back, glutes, legs and feet. This cover the 50 minutes and did not include the face and front of my body. The massage was okay, but I did not feel completely satisfied at the end of the massage. My body had only had moisturized by massage cream onto half my body. I spend time getting the other half of my body up to par before getting dressed. I still think 50 minutes is not enough and felt incomplete. It like the Baltimore Ravens performance of failing to achieve a superbowl appearance from 2018-2024...depressing and incomplete. Maybe I should follow Kratos's advise of "Keep your expectations low and you'll never be disappointed"...as far as the playoffs are concerned...but I am digressing here. I felt like Strider Hiryū running down the ramp on my way back to my vichele. Thoughts were running through my head. All and all the $210 not including time was a bit pricy, but worth the body scrubbing and Bath for $130...If one chooses that as an option. You also get ten bucks off of you are paying in cash for whatever service you aquire. Keep in mind, it will most like have to be above $60 to get this $10 discount. "I could be wrong now, but I don't think so." I will be back here to do this again, but with the things I talked about in this review. I will have another updated review when this happens. Oh, and the missing ten minutes out of ACTUAL 60 MINUTE MASSAGE can make a significant difference to that individual. You might want to look into that. not a sermon just a thought.

I didn't read that anywhere on their website, so I may have missed it, and it was quite a surprise.

Hey yall, I…read moreTRAVELED 30 mins outside of DC, just to come visit SPA WORLD! I contemplated between here and SPA KING which isn't too far from here! The price difference and the amenities got me!! Spa world $29 on Groupon for a 12 hour experience with 7-8 rooms, and the full spa bath area amenities super worth every dollar and min! Time goes by sooo fast when ur having a good time! Got there at 2pm, stayed till 8:30pm! Had a ball. The spa king was $100 entry for the spa amenities but it's really pretty big and nice inside there and I wish to go before my trip is over maybe or next time I come into town! Anyways, what I liked, the price and what you get, it was fairly decently clean and the people were nice! What I didn't like, they are strict lol they must had been watching me on camera cuz 2 staff came up to me to tell me put my spa clothes on and or don't talk on the phone in any of the rooms people are in, otherwise I'm happy with my first time experience! Thanks again! Will hope to be back! I'm from out of town by the way and I wish to eat at the inside restaurant some day, I also like how the bakery is next door! Thanks

I've been coming to and loving the relaxation of Spa World since they opened--more than 15…read moreyears--and I'm incredibly disappointed by how much the prices have increased while the quality and customer service have declined. The bade pool has always been one of my favorite parts of Spa World and is normally around 95-98°F, a comfortable temperature for soaking before a Korean body scrub. Today it was hovering between 102-103°F--essentially hot-tub temperature. Even the kiddie pool was too hot. In the middle of a D.C.-area heat wave, who wants to come inside from 90+ degree weather and soak in 102-degree water? On a Sunday, the usually busy bade pool was practically empty, with people instead hovering around the ice plunge because there really wasn't a comfortable-temperature pool to use. I let the attendant know and another staff member. No change. This is especially frustrating because you're supposed to soak for about 30 minutes before a body scrub to soften the skin. I couldn't comfortably do that and had to use the showers instead. Management showed no interest in adjusting the pool temperature or otherwise addressing the problem. I was still paying the now-$150 price for my 50-minute spa special scrub. I simply asked that they refund my $25 admission because the primary facility I came to use was essentially unusable. The manager looked at me like my request was ridiculous and refused and insisted the temperature of the main pool fluctuates. (Of course it does, but NOT THAT HOT!) After more than 15 years as a loyal customer, it's astonishing that Spa World would rather lose me as a customer than address the problem or refund $25. I won't be back.

Go in and follow the simple steps take your timer into the sauna with you and 40 minutes of relaxing sweating takes place. Towels, wipes and a cold face cloth are provided along with other amenities that I have yet to use. There is a choice between a single or 2 person booth and it's always a zen moment for me to listen to music in my headphones while the outside world is shut out (this is a quiet place no loud noises.) I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a way to take a time out of their busy schedule and release stress and toxins out of their system.
