Just left a corporate chain massage place due to prices continually going up (without any notice) and found this locally owned-operated company near my home. What a great find! I could see a lot of personal care went into the design of the rooms. Very peaceful. The front desk staff was friendly, and not pushy at all. My therapist, Sydney, did a great job working through some of my limited motion issues (arthritis in shoulder). I already have another appointment! Read Less

What a wonderful experience!! I went during my fourth pregnancy at the end of 2017. I saw Michelle - she is a certified prenatal massage therapist. She had all the pillows to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Michelle was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She answered all my questions, helped me to relax and I can’t wait to go back! I have referred her to all of my friends who are expecting. Additionally, the reception staff are always so friendly and helpful. Overall, I give this place 5+ stars- it’s the only place I will come for future massages, waxes, pedicures, facials... they do it all!! Read Less

Alright so before I start I will specify that I received a prenatal massage with Michelle. For $69 (plus gratuity), I don't feel this massage was worth it. First of all, at 8 months pregnant, I don't  move as fast (plus this is supposed to be a relaxing environment right?). She barely gave me 4 minutes to undress(from my military uniform) before trying to barge in. When asked, I expressed wanting firm pressure and I understand there's only so much firmness you can use while pregnant but I didn't feel any better after the massage! Not to mention, I was her last appointment of the day (6pm) so they made me pay BEFORE my service and asked what kind of gratuity I wanted to leave. As far as I'm concerned, you tip based on how the service was ( so Unfortunately for her, I only left 10%) which to be honest is all she would've gotten based on the service anyway. During the massage, I kept seeing her eyeing the clock (perhaps ready to go home?). The place was decent, ambience was good but what I'm REALLY paying for is a killer massage. Perhaps I'll try someone else for a regular massage after giving birth since reviews praise others that work there but I would not recommend a prenatal massage with her to anyone. Read Less

Also, they’ve done well to adopt technology. Download their app and receive alerts when one of your favorite therapists has an opening.

The minute you walk in the door you feel more relaxed! Very calming atmosphere. I have had 3 different massages from 3 different therapists here, and they were all great. Most recently Rachel addressed some severe pain I was having in my neck. After one session, it was looser! Thanks Rachel!

I have no complaints, the place is always clean, nice relaxing atmosphere with professional and competent therapists that listen to you. Read Less

I just left Destress after getting my very first prenatal massage (60 minutes). It was wonderful!! They have one certified prenatal massage therapist on staff. her name is Michelle McGuckin. Worth every penny. I'm sure she would be great for regular massages too, because she's the first person who's ever actually used a good amount of pressure when I asked for it. The only reason I didn't give five stars is the other time I came to Destress I asked for more pressure and it was still too light. When you want more pressure and you're not getting it, the whole experience can be rather frustrating. Good advice for when you'd like to keep going to the same place but may not have been happy with your therapist: ask for someone else. Duh. If you are getting a massage and are not happy with the pressure, whether it's too light or too heavy, you are in control of that situation (usually). Silly to rate a place poorly because one therapist among many did not use the pressure that you liked and you did not speak up. Read Less

I received a gift card to Destress. I went to the website to see what services they had and I discovered that you could schedule your appointment online. This is really cool!  The problem - all of their services aren't listed on the site. I booked a manicure, my only option even though I wanted the gel manicure. I didn't think it would be a problem.  I made sure to comment that i was new and asked about any additional fees for removing the gel polish that I already had when they called to confirm my appt. I found out when I arrived that I should have booked a gel manicure.  My nail tech Kay made sure to mention several times that I had booked the wrong type of appointment. I let her know that the service I wanted wasn't listed. She debated the fact that I should have booked a different type of appointment.  One of her staff members came in and said she would check the site to confirm that the appointment type that I needed was listed. Well what do you know - it wasn't listed!  Wow you just made me think that I had done something wrong when your site is inaccurate!  I left with half of my gel polish still on and horrible looking nails!

I've been here twice. The first time, it was wonderful. A much needed massage and stress relief was needed. But the second time was absolutely my last time. I'm not sure if the young lady who did my massage was inexperienced or in training, whatever the case may be, she definitely made me feel so much worse than I did prior to coming. She was rough during the massage, which made it nearly impossible to relax. She dug a little too deep. It was horrible! I was sore and aching for weeks after the massage. Nope! Never again. Read Less

PASS on the nail service here! (I read the reviews, but all were in regards to the massage services but hoped the nail service would be as good). The room was great (very relaxing atmosphere) & lacked the odor that I normally can't tolerate w/ my asthma. I agree w/ other reviewers that the walls are thin. Kay was very friendly sweet, HOWEVER, our manicures weren't straight & she missed the sides of the nail consistently. I had scheduled this for my maid of honor & I before my wedding & basically had to eat $175 bill that we had to rush & re-do in the car to the ceremony. My suggestion would to get better task lighting and maybe magnifying glasses if Kay is struggling to see adequately, but I have gotten better manicures at the Beauty school.  :( Read Less

I'm a huge fan of this place. I've only started going as my neighbor recommended it to me. I have been having so many problems with tension in my neck and shoulders. I made an appointment with Stan and he does a kind of body work which is not your traditional type of massage, but works at relieving the tension and pressure in the fascia and/or connective tissues that envelop the muscles. This allows muscles to move more freely and restores blood flow to restricted areas.  This man knows his stuff. I've seen him a few times and will continue to visit.  It has given me great relief and restored comfort.  They offer a lot of different services that I would like to try in the future (pedicures, manicures, etc.). I've had no problems getting appointments. The establishment is clean, relaxing, and inviting and the staff is friendly and very accommodating.  I am so relieved I have a resource for pain relief that doesn't involve popping pills or visiting doctors.  I highly recommend them!

I've had about 10 massages or so here and I can say with the uptmost confidence that it's the best in the area!!!! You wouldn't be able to tell from the outside, but its very cute and well-decorated on the inside. It's located in a business strip, in the middle of nowhere, so I always feel kind of sketch coming here. The front desk receptionist is quick and pleasant, often knowing you by name. The waiting room is a little bit cramped, but its usually empty so not a biggie. Almost every time I've come here I was able to get my appointment earlier than scheduled. I've played around with the therapists and realized almost all of them have the same exact technique from start to finish. I was told the manager trained them all and they have to do her style of massage. Not complaining, because I really love knowing that Im going to get the same quality from any member of their team. Deep Tissue tends to be done way too hard, but Destress Express opts for a slower, more technical approach. Hands down the best scalp and neck massage! They have about 6-8 rooms, Im not too sure what the exact number is, but they are all decorated just right. I feel extremely comfortable in each and every room and love the interesting colors and artwork. The music is typical for this kind of establishment, and played at just the right noise level. Natasha has been  the best IMO (just dont overbook, please save some space on her calander for me! ) The prices are up there, but its about the same anywhere else for this level of quality. I usually pay anywhere from $60-75 per masssage. Read Less

I've been going here since Jan 2013.  I received my first massage as a gift for a thank you.  All I can say is thank God for that! Jennifer has me hooked.  Ask for her.  She's a master therapist so she's $5 or so more than some of the other therapists and worth it.  I love the rooms at DS - very relaxing, very zen...very balanced.  The receptionist is always helpful - I don't know her name - blonde, pretty lady who always helps me schedule my next session in advance.  i won't go anywhere else! Also had my eyebrows done here and the room was very nice - the stylist was great and did them perfectly.  It's a little hard to find as it's set in a strip mall (but on the nicer end ...not trashy) but once you locate it, much easier to find second and third time.

I absolutely love this place! When I first moved to this area I was in search of a new massage therapist, thankfully I came here and got an amazing hour and a half massage from Natasha! I've been going for over a year now. All the things I've liked about different massage therapist seemed to roll right into one. I find that she is very attentive to what I need in terms of if I tell her my neck or leg is bothering me. Not to mention you can't beat the price! Its $75 for an hour and half, and if you buy 4 or more at a time it's only $70. You can also purchase any of their services online! I've never had a problem getting an appointment. Oh and all the rooms are decorated so nicely, really makes you feel comfortable and at home.One day I tried a facial and I hadn't had one before but it was great, I felt very refreshed afterwards! I  like to get this done before special occasions or vacations because it does seem to give you a certain glow. I also did microderm abrasion once (they had a special) and that was good too.This really is a one stop shop because I also get my pedicures here as well. I love the cute designs they put on my toes! I get a lot of compliments on them.If you're still not convinced just go visit, they will show you around!! The staff is really great. Read Less

Alright so before I start I will specify that I received a prenatal massage with Michelle. For $69 (plus gratuity), I don't feel this massage was worth it. First of all, at 8 months pregnant, I don't  move as fast (plus this is supposed to be a relaxing environment right?). She barely gave me 4 minutes to undress(from my military uniform) before trying to barge in. When asked, I expressed wanting firm pressure and I understand there's only so much firmness you can use while pregnant but I didn't feel any better after the massage! Not to mention, I was her last appointment of the day (6pm) so they made me pay BEFORE my service and asked what kind of gratuity I wanted to leave. As far as I'm concerned, you tip based on how the service was ( so Unfortunately for her, I only left 10%) which to be honest is all she would've gotten based on the service anyway. During the massage, I kept seeing her eyeing the clock (perhaps ready to go home?). The place was decent, ambience was good but what I'm REALLY paying for is a killer massage. Perhaps I'll try someone else for a regular massage after giving birth since reviews praise others that work there but I would not recommend a prenatal massage with her to anyone. Read Less

I just left Destress after getting my very first prenatal massage (60 minutes). It was wonderful!! They have one certified prenatal massage therapist on staff. her name is Michelle McGuckin. Worth every penny. I'm sure she would be great for regular massages too, because she's the first person who's ever actually used a good amount of pressure when I asked for it. The only reason I didn't give five stars is the other time I came to Destress I asked for more pressure and it was still too light. When you want more pressure and you're not getting it, the whole experience can be rather frustrating. Good advice for when you'd like to keep going to the same place but may not have been happy with your therapist: ask for someone else. Duh. If you are getting a massage and are not happy with the pressure, whether it's too light or too heavy, you are in control of that situation (usually). Silly to rate a place poorly because one therapist among many did not use the pressure that you liked and you did not speak up. Read Less

I received a gift card to Destress. I went to the website to see what services they had and I discovered that you could schedule your appointment online. This is really cool!  The problem - all of their services aren't listed on the site. I booked a manicure, my only option even though I wanted the gel manicure. I didn't think it would be a problem.  I made sure to comment that i was new and asked about any additional fees for removing the gel polish that I already had when they called to confirm my appt. I found out when I arrived that I should have booked a gel manicure.  My nail tech Kay made sure to mention several times that I had booked the wrong type of appointment. I let her know that the service I wanted wasn't listed. She debated the fact that I should have booked a different type of appointment.  One of her staff members came in and said she would check the site to confirm that the appointment type that I needed was listed. Well what do you know - it wasn't listed!  Wow you just made me think that I had done something wrong when your site is inaccurate!  I left with half of my gel polish still on and horrible looking nails!

I've been here twice. The first time, it was wonderful. A much needed massage and stress relief was needed. But the second time was absolutely my last time. I'm not sure if the young lady who did my massage was inexperienced or in training, whatever the case may be, she definitely made me feel so much worse than I did prior to coming.

PASS on the nail service here! (I read the reviews, but all were in regards to the massage services but hoped the nail service would be as good). The room was great (very relaxing atmosphere) & lacked the odor that I normally can't tolerate w/ my asthma. I agree w/ other reviewers that the walls are thin. Kay was very friendly sweet, HOWEVER, our manicures weren't straight & she missed the sides of the nail consistently. I had scheduled this for my maid of honor & I before my wedding & basically had to eat $175 bill that we had to rush & re-do in the car to the ceremony. My suggestion would to get better task lighting and maybe magnifying glasses if Kay is struggling to see adequately, but I have gotten better manicures at the Beauty school.  :( Read Less

I'm a huge fan of this place. I've only started going as my neighbor recommended it to me. I have been having so many problems with tension in my neck and shoulders. I made an appointment with Stan and he does a kind of body work which is not your traditional type of massage, but works at relieving the tension and pressure in the fascia and/or connective tissues that envelop the muscles. This allows muscles to move more freely and restores blood flow to restricted areas.  This man knows his stuff. I've seen him a few times and will continue to visit.  It has given me great relief and restored comfort.  They offer a lot of different services that I would like to try in the future (pedicures, manicures, etc.). I've had no problems getting appointments. The establishment is clean, relaxing, and inviting and the staff is friendly and very accommodating.  I am so relieved I have a resource for pain relief that doesn't involve popping pills or visiting doctors.  I highly recommend them!

I've had about 10 massages or so here and I can say with the uptmost confidence that it's the best in the area!!!! You wouldn't be able to tell from the outside, but its very cute and well-decorated on the inside. It's located in a business strip, in the middle of nowhere, so I always feel kind of sketch coming here. The front desk receptionist is quick and pleasant, often knowing you by name. The waiting room is a little bit cramped, but its usually empty so not a biggie. Almost every time I've come here I was able to get my appointment earlier than scheduled. I've played around with the therapists and realized almost all of them have the same exact technique from start to finish. I was told the manager trained them all and they have to do her style of massage. Not complaining, because I really love knowing that Im going to get the same quality from any member of their team. Deep Tissue tends to be done way too hard, but Destress Express opts for a slower, more technical approach. Hands down the best scalp and neck massage! They have about 6-8 rooms, Im not too sure what the exact number is, but they are all decorated just right. I feel extremely comfortable in each and every room and love the interesting colors and artwork. The music is typical for this kind of establishment, and played at just the right noise level. Natasha has been  the best IMO (just dont overbook, please save some space on her calander for me! ) The prices are up there, but its about the same anywhere else for this level of quality. I usually pay anywhere from $60-75 per masssage. Read Less

Jennifer has me hooked.  Ask for her.  She's a master therapist so she's $5 or so more than some of the other therapists and worth it.  I love the rooms at DS - very relaxing, very zen...very balanced.  The receptionist is always helpful - I don't know her name - blonde, pretty lady who always helps me schedule my next session in advance.  i won't go anywhere else! Also had my eyebrows done here and the room was very nice - the stylist was great and did them perfectly.  It's a little hard to find as it's set in a strip mall (but on the nicer end ...not trashy) but once you locate it, much easier to find second and third time.

I absolutely love this place! When I first moved to this area I was in search of a new massage therapist, thankfully I came here and got an amazing hour and a half massage from Natasha! I've been going for over a year now. All the things I've liked about different massage therapist seemed to roll right into one. I find that she is very attentive to what I need in terms of if I tell her my neck or leg is bothering me. Not to mention you can't beat the price! Its $75 for an hour and half, and if you buy 4 or more at a time it's only $70. You can also purchase any of their services online! I've never had a problem getting an appointment. Oh and all the rooms are decorated so nicely, really makes you feel comfortable and at home.One day I tried a facial and I hadn't had one before but it was great, I felt very refreshed afterwards! I  like to get this done before special occasions or vacations because it does seem to give you a certain glow. I also did microderm abrasion once (they had a special) and that was good too.This really is a one stop shop because I also get my pedicures here as well. I love the cute designs they put on my toes! I get a lot of compliments on them.If you're still not convinced just go visit, they will show you around!! The staff is really great. Read Less
