My favorite part is the great massage from Stephanie who knows when to be aggressive and when to be gentle. The salon is so well decorated, with everything designed to provide a relaxing atmosphere. More importantly now, however is their procedure to handle COVID 19. They had me wait in the car, took my temp and had me fill out a questionnaire, and then wait until they were ready for me to go back to my room. They wore masks, but they had developed a system to cover (and protect) my face without my having to wear one during the massage. Everyone there seems to care about you as a human being. It's always been a very pleasant experience - and now I am 'de-kinked'!

I got a massage and facial with Stephanie Arnold. She is absolutely amazing!! Both services were very relaxing and calm. With the facial, she used a mask, an enzyme and cleansers. (Can’t remember the rest) but it was amazing! Everything smelled really good. I had went the day before to get a massage which was awesome and she told me about her facials and I got one the next day. Both were well worth it. I am a repeat client and I have been going to relax massage therapy for over 5 years now.

Relax Massage Therapy and Skincare is by far my favorite spa in Wilmington. Every massage that i have received has been out of this world, and I tend to go to whomever is available. Every therapist that I have worked with has been highly skilled and professional. If you are looking for a place to return to again and again for self care and restoration, I highly recommend checking out Relax!

I have been to several massage therapists over the past 10 years and Andrea is by far my favorite. She always asks me what I liked best about my last visit and where my problem areas are. This has really helped personalize each massage session for me. She finds out which type of massage techniques suit me best. I always leave feeling way better than when I arrived. Her massages are consistently awesome!

This is the best massage place ever! The Swedish massage is definitely worth every penny!!! Make sure to get either the hour or 90 minute Swedish massage. The staff is so welcoming and super attentive to your comfort and well being. They are very respectful of your privacy and the rooms are very, very clean and beautifully decorated. The music is extremely relaxing and the aroma therapies they use are soothing. I am extremely sensitive, so I was hesitant about aroma therapies because most would give me a headache but this place knows just how to make the aroma therapy and it is not overpowering at all. I would recommend this to anyone and this is also great gift idea. Best place ever and I go as much as I can.

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm glad to hear the aromatherapy is to your liking and soothes rather than irritates you. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

On a recent visit to Wilmington, I had 2 deep tissue massages from Than, a week apart, since I couldn't see my usual massage therapist back in Wisconsin. An awesome experience, each time. Than has a very intuitive sense of what my body was telling him, and how to approach my issues. Most of my spine is fused, and so it was very important to have a person who really understands anatomy. Because of my fusion, I have many issues around my body, and he understood the anatomy of each and how to get at the issues in each case. Some of his techniques were different than what my normal therapist used; learned some new things I took back to her.
Than was so focused on making my experience positive that he instantly asked if there was any problem as soon as he would hear a change in my breathing or a groan. He used techniques of increasing pressure to reach the right solution for me, and in one case told me he would not go any harder (just as I was about to say the same, in fact).
Than explained what his next technique would be, so that I would understand what was coming. This was very helpful in keeping me relaxed.
The room was warm, the music was soft and easy to fall into, the table was warm, the bolsters needed were available, and Than did an awesome job. Thanks for keeping me on track for the 2 weeks! I would definitely come back every time I am in Wilmington.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Than recently joined our team after his move from Colorado and we are excited to have him. His knowledge and therapeutic approach are such an asset to the business. We consider ourselves lucky to have him on board. We look forward to your next visit to Wilmington. Make sure you book ahead when you know you're coming, his book will be getting more full each week as people find out about him! ;)
Safe travels,
Gretchen

I was in Wilmington helping a friend and wanted to arrange a massage for us. From the first voice on the phone to the final goodbye the entire experience was perfection. The people were friendly without being intrusive. The Massage was strong without being overpowering. I felt pampered and cared for. Johnny was remarkable and Elyza really helped my friend relax. Do yourself a favor and try it yourself. Also - Lindsey does a phenomenal work managing the entire operation,

I normally get good results from here. But today’s combo of massage/chocolate and champagne was the best yet. In fact my wife thought it was better than the svc we got aboard a 5🌟cruise line! No pushy sales gimmicks. Just straight forward massage and perks! My masseuse was especially good! Look forward to booking her again!

I have used Relax for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. I had a combo appointment with Stephanie and was looking forward to a relaxing massage and facial. Sadly I was having a skin issue that precluded having a facial. I changed to a longer massage and Stephanie weighed in on my skin issue. Will have to reschedule the combo once my medical issue is resolved. I leave my combo feeling like I have been especially spoiled. Having a therapist who can do both is beyond magical. Thank you Stephanie for all you do.

My return visit was as great as my first. Professional, COVID responsible, and great customer service. My massage was amazing! Johnny is the best and knows exactly how to relieve those tense muscles. I definitely recommend !
