I had a facial + microdermabrasion. I was pleasantly surprised with every part of their client experience. The individual at the front desk was kind and welcoming. The esthetician was knowledgeable and took the time to evaluate my skin. She explained every step of the process. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I have already booked my next appointment. I recommend anyone looking to have an incredible self-care experience. Jeramiah Rowley (2024)
I've been coming here for years now and they have always been top of their game. The building is always clean and inviting, the front desk is always so warm and kind, and the massages are incredible. Megan Millard (2025)
I love to call out specific staff members when I get truly spectacular treatment, but here I would just be listing their employment roster. As an overwhelmed bride, I sent them an email pleading for even advice on how to treat my bridesmaids for all the things they do for me. The absolute angels not only managed to get FIVE (5!) of us in for a massage and a facial, they made the experience so, so special. I cannot recommend a pre-wedding spa day enough, and I CANNOT recommend The Retreat enough. Just go here. Seriously. Laura Jameson (2026)
Had a whole-body massage, it was amazing!! The serene atmosphere and professional approach from everyone working there was amazing!! I will be coming back for more!! Joey Duffey (2026)
