I am spoiled for life thanks for The Red Door Salon and Spa in Mystic. My incredible boyfriend sent 2 of my friends and I there for a spa day on my birthday, and I seriously had the time of my life. We had two services, the Red Door Signature Massage and the Triple Rose body wrap...if you were wondering, I smell amazing. In all seriousness, this spa is top notch and the service is incredible. Kathleen was my therapist and she herself deserves 5 stars! She made sure I was always comfortable and warm during the body wrap and massage, explained all the main ingredients of the products she was using, and expertly knew which products (when combined) create the best scents, which I appreciated. The triple rose wrap starts with an exfoliation process using ground up olive pits, you then take a shower and your skin is really soft - but about to get a lot softer. After that, they apply an oil based product that smells delicious, and you are wrapped in some combination of foil and plastic blankets while your skin soaks it in. You stay in the wrap for about 15-20 minutes, and during that time, the therapist massages either your scalp or feet. I chose the scalp option, which she said was good for people with headaches or sinus issues. The massage was so relaxing. Kathleen mentioned she typically applies medium to relaxing pressure, and that if she finds any problem spots she tries to work them out with firmer pressure. She definitely helped with some tightness around my neck and shoulders and even gave me some posture exercises to think about while I am driving because I told her I hunch over the steering wheel. After the services were complete, my friends and I hung out in the relaxation room. You can order drinks through the hotel bar there if you are interested in that, or you have the option to do a spa style lunch. There is also a pool/hot tub for you to use but we opted not to since we smelled so good from the triple rose wrap, and didn't want to ruin it with that chlorine smell. I am so lucky I got to spend the day here, and would gladly return. Thank you to all the staff who made my birthday so special here. Read Less
