All,
My wife's birthday is quickly approaching and I would like to get her a facial and massage set up. Does anyone recommend any places in particular? The massage will be great for her because she is 6 months pregnant. The only wish she had was that the facials must include extractions. Where would you recommend?
I've enjoyed treatments at Museum Spa (near Blue Ridge Rd) and Jolie Day Spa (Cameron Village). Hear fantastic things about the spa in Umstead Hotel in Cary, although I'm sure it's pricey!
Yeah I have heard the same about Umstead but that is definitely out of the price range I was looking for. I will check the two you named, thanks. Keep the recommendations coming!
I go to Synergy Med Spa. There is a massage therapist there who is outstanding, I actually followed him from his previous place of employment because no other masseuse was as good as he is. Synergy is located on Glenwood in Raleigh so may be a bit of a drive but I know this massage therapist specializes in prenatal massage as well other massage types. His name is Dan and I can't recommend him enough.
I haven't had any facials done there so I can't speak for that service. Their website says they do extractions, whatever that means. Hope you find her a GREAT place, no matter where you pick for her. What an awesome gift!
I second the Synergy recommendation! I absolutely love it - I've been going for 4 years and pretty much won't go anywhere else. Have been to Umstead and while it looks fun and fancy, your wife won't be able to partake of the sauna and hot tubs because of the pregnancy. And honestly, I think I get better quality service from Synergy. Had 1 facial there which was nice (I don't get facials there often), tons of manicures and pedicures (pricey but worth it!) and massages galore! My favorite masseuse just left there but I had a great prenatal massage from a different girl. Highly highly recommend it. They also have packages you can buy and spa week is Oct. 10-16 so you can get discounts!
I've never gone to Synergy Spa but just looked at their website. They seem to have a few "specials" during Oct. so I went ahead and booked a massage!
Thanks for the rec!

Vicki - they have monthly specials (although cheaper in Oct because of spa week) and there is a 10% discount if you book another treatment for the next month the day you go in. Enjoy!
My favorite place to get facials is Green Tea Spa (Creedmoor Centre- N. Raleigh). Its a lot more affordable than the Umstead, and I think they are just as good. I don't think they do massage (I may be wrong), but I am getting eyelash extensions there later this week.

You will be hooked. I go at least every 6 weeks, sometimes every 4 if I have a lot of stress going on. My next appt is next week and I can't wait.
