Best Day Spas in Richmond

There are a few things that set Sacred Waters Holistic Spa and Boutique apart. While you can certainly get a great massage or a cleansing facial at Holistic Waters, they offer a unique twist with a number of Eastern medicine practices and massage therapies, long known for their effectiveness in rejuvenating the body, mind and energy of the recipient. These special offerings make them a must-have for our top five. Plus, from the moment you enter Sacred Water’s you’ll be lulled by the serenity of your surroundings and enjoy inviting spaces filled with soothing colors and natural light. Their therapists are skilled in a variety of methods so that no matter what your specific need or request, you can be sure that you’ll receive expert treatment every time – all at reasonable, competitive pricing.

Here are some of the many services you can enjoy at Sacred Waters:

• MediCupping & Massage Cupping
• Lymphatic TheraCupping
• Fire Cupping
• Reiki
• Thai Massage
• Couples Massage
• Aromatherapy
• Hot Stones
• Full Body Treatments

All spa services at Sacred Waters are available by appointment seven days a week between 8am and 8pm. And with online booking, it’s easy to plan ahead. If you are looking for a spa that is focused on treating the mind and body simultaneously with expert practitioners and proven methods, then Sacred Waters Holistic Spa will more than exceed your expectations.

Why we love them: Massage and skin therapy are great, but throw in a little retail therapy and you may have found the perfect combination. What makes Sacred Waters unique from many of their competitors is that they offer a specialty boutique filled with one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry and accessories. When you’re looking for something special for a friend or for yourself, or perhaps want to find some of the amazing products used in your massage or skincare treatment, the boutique is a one-stop shop. But what we really love is that while with other spas, you may only go to get a particular service, Sacred Waters offers a reason to stop by any day of the week and enjoy their relaxing environment.

Like all of our featured spas, Renewal Day Spa provides the complete spa experience. But where they really step it up a notch is with their beauty offerings including in-depth skin care, permanent make-up services and an expansive nail care menu. But the best part of all is reasonable pricing for their premium services. Plus, with ongoing monthly specials, you can get even more for your money.

Here are some of the services that you can choose from at Renewal Day Spa:

• Massage, including therapeutic, hot stone, Thai Yoga, couples, pre-natal and more
• Permanent make-up
• Facials
• Advanced skincare, including chemical peels and blemish treatment
• Hair removal
• Nail care, including a wide range of manicures and pedicures
• Body wraps
• Aromatherapy
• A steam room

The staff at Renewal Day Spa is committed to providing a relaxing experience that rejuvenates mind, body and skin – leaving you glowing, feeling beautiful and fully relaxed. But it’s also the little details that make this spa special. For example, enjoy complimentary snacks, tea and water while you wait for your service. Pamper yourself and friends or family with special group packages or call any time with special requests – the Renewal team is there to meet you needs.

Why we love them: In addition to first-class service and products, Renewal Day Spa delivers a value that’s hard to beat when it comes to special packages. Start with their King or Queen for a Day Package, priced at $247 for five and a half hours of dedicated pampering. Or choose the Revitalizer Package which includes four and a half hours of treatment for $196. Or perhaps you’d prefer a heat package priced at $179 and filled with three and a half hours of deep luxury. And if you want to bring someone special with you? Choose a four-hour couples package for $306. But the best part is that each of these luxurious packages comes with a light lunch that includes a green salad topped with strawberries, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and carrots and is served with a chilled chicken Caesar pasta.

There’s a lot to love about Perception Organic Spa, especially once you see their wide range of service offerings. As an organic spa, they focus on using natural products that offer organic and/or wild-crafted ingredients, as well as recyclable packaging. They even offer a vegan line of nail care and nail enhancement services. And their attention to detail extends well beyond the products they use to the luxurious services the provide.

Perception’s services include:

• Facials
• Body wraps
• Massage therapy, including prenatal, hot stone and more
• Nail care, including a wide range of manicure and pedicure options and nail enhancements
• Waxing
• Lash and eyebrow enhancements and services
• Men’s services (warm beer foot soak, anyone? Don’t worry ladies, you can have one, too!)

With reasonable prices for their full range of services, they also offer value with multi-service packages starting at $99 for two hours up to $399 for six hours. Or, pamper a crowd with their Spa Party services. The options are virtually endless Best of all, they offer service hours all weekend (and every weekday but Tuesday) so that finding a time to unwind is easy and convenient.

Why we love them: At Perception Organic Spa, you’ll find all the luxury and pampering you would expect from a top-rated day spa. But they also offer a special membership option with “The Perception Club” that allows you to pay a single monthly fee for specific services that you can then schedule once a month for as long as you keep your membership. For example, for $59/month, you can enjoy a 50-minute custom massage or a 40-minute expert facial every month at the time of your choosing. No need to convince yourself to do a little self-care, just relax and know that it’s waiting right there for you.

With Richmond Magazine’s “Best Day Spa” award (among others) to their name for five years running, it’s no surprise that GLOW Med Spa makes our best of the best list. But when you’re that good – well, it deserves to be recognized. And GLOW really is that good. In addition to offering premium services, they are committed to offering them at a price that is affordable. From expert hair removal and skincare to deeply relaxing massage, they hire aestheticians and masseuses who are masters at their craft, so that you receive premium care from start to finish.

Take advantage of these custom services:

• Facials (men and women)
• Waxing and laser hair removal
• Chemical Peels
• Laser Resurfacing
• Injections
• Tinting
• Spray Tanning
• Massage therapy, including prenatal, deep tissue, sports and GLOW exclusives like like Hydrating Rose and Lavender massages.

Why we love them: GLOW makes it easy to find the services you want with three fabulous locations. But, instead of offering three identical shops, each of GLOW’s locations offers a special twist, starting with “The Sweet Spot” Waxing Station in Carytown. With a full range of waxing services available, this colorful shop has all the pop and pizzazz of a candy shop. Next up, the “Earth Element” Spa on the Northside envelopes you in a virtual forest of soothing earth tones. Or if you’re looking for something a little warmer, head to Short Pump for “Fire Element” Spa where gorgeously themed, glowing décor welcomes you in for a soothing experience. Choices and great service make GLOW one of Richmond’s top day spas for relaxation.
