I received a 60 minute hot stone massage from Amber and it was FANTASTIC! I left there feeling like I lost 10 pounds - she was amazing. By far the best massage I have every had. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back to see her again.

I went into my appointment today, contemplating cancelling my monthly subscription.That was until Amir started to work.He is a magician. I get massages rather regularly and have been for years. And I can say that he is by far the most knowledgeable and attentive massage professional that I have EVER encountered.

Ameer was fantastic. He has a great touch and was very communicative. He had great depth for sports recovery, but was also very relaxing. If I lived in Burlington I’d see him as often as I could.

Such a wonderful experience, Benjamin did a great 90 min massage with hot stones! He checked in with me throughout the massage to make sure pressure was good, and I really appreciated his calm demeanor.The location is super convenient just steps from downtown Burlington, and the room felt so cozy with music and string lights. I felt so relaxed and my neck and shoulders feel so much lighter!Thanks Brilliant Massage, I’ll definitely be back soon!

5/5! Scheduling was simple. I was impressed with the hours of the business to accommodate for tougher schedules. We booked a couples massage. From entering the building all the way through the end of our experience we were felt at ease! Ameer worked on me and Maribel worked on my girlfriend. I was so comfortable that I fell asleep and even started to snore pretty intensely. They remained completely professional although my girlfriend couldnt contain her laughter! If youre in the area give them a try. We went with the couples massage and no add ons but would consider them next time!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a couples massage yesterday. Amazing service here. Benjamin and Valentina were very professional and gave excellent services. Both our massages were 1000/10. Very relaxing and inviting environment. I would recommend this place to everyone I know. Benjamin and Valentina exceeded our expectations. 10/10 place

Ameer was the best massage therapist I’ve had in my life. I’ve gotten work done for the last 15 years, and his communication skills, pressure, and ability to find knots deep in the muscles are the best I’ve found. We are not local, but if we were I would work with him monthly or biweekly. Highly recommend

Great experience! I have never gone to a massage before and I really wanted to try it. Ben did a great job and was very comfortable and professional. I am visiting from Maine for a vacation and this was just what I needed. I got the full body massage with hot stones and CBD oil. Thanks again!

Samantha was my therapist and she was AMAZING! I told her what my target areas were and she applied that firm pressure. I was notified of a death in the family just hours prior to my appointment time so this was just the right therapy that I needed. If you want a phenomenal massage therapist book with Samantha!

My sister and I were visiting Burlington for a girls getaway and booked massages at Brilliant Massage. We had a great experience. My masseuse was Ameer. He was very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. While I dont have any specific problem areas, he could tell the spots were the most tense and he focused on those and checked in with me often to see how I was feeling. He also followed up with some suggestions after the massage for how to address those problem areas. The spa was clean and quiet- great location and easy to find. I would go again if Im ever back in town.

Samantha and Ben were exceptional. This was our first massage (couples massage) and they were extremely kind and professional with our many questions and in explaining services. We felt instantly relaxed and could not have anticipated a better experience. We will certainly be back when we’re in the area again.

My partner and I visited the area for the weekend. Being a holiday weekend many places were booked solid but when I called they were able to accommodate us. WOW! Were we glad we had our couples massage here. They were professional, knowledgeable and exceptional. Having had many massage experiences I can honestly say this was one of the best. We will be back!

Review №22

I had never gotten a massage outside of my chiropractor/physical therapists appointments and was a bit nervous. But Ameer was so communicative and made me feel at ease for my first massage! He asks for feedback around pressure to make sure I was getting what I needed, but not uncomfortable. I felt so relaxed after and slept so well. I wish I could go back every week!

Review №23

I cannot say enough about my massage with Colton Copeland today. It was honestly the best massage I’ve ever had. I went into the massage with an embarrassing amount of knots and tension all up and down my back and after just 60 minutes, left feeling light on my feet and more clear in my head. Colton just seemed to know exactly where I was carrying the most stress and his techniques were deep yet comfortable and incredibly effective. The environment was super clean and relaxing and everyone there was friendly, professional and very welcoming. Can’t wait to return when I’m back in town.

I’ve come here before when I had a lot of pain in my hip flexor due to overtraining. It was an incredible massage then… so now that I was back in town I knew I had to return here. I had a massage with Ben this time around and he was fantastic. Took the time to listen to me describe the areas I wanted him to focus on and he delivered! I prefer true deep tissue and pressure point release therapy to help me recover and improve flexibility, and this massage really helped me. I highly recommend coming here - the therapists are attentive and professional and the space is clean and relaxing!

Maribel gave me the best massage of my life at Brilliant Massage & Skin- came in with terrible tension in my shoulders, and she really did some amazing work. I left feeling wonderful, and three days later, Im still feeling great. There was none of the usual soreness I feel after a massage. Thank you so much Maribel!

Ameer is truly a professional! I scheduled with him because of his credentials and excellent reviews. He used various massage techniques and worked longer on my problem areas. I felt completely relaxed during and after the treatment. In addition, the salon is clean with a very nice atmosphere. I was extremely pleased with my massage and would definitely return!

Louis and Sam treated my wife and I like royalty! They provided a terrific atmosphere and their skill was obvious. They were very communicative and professional, couldnt have asked for better. We were so happy to have come to Brilliant and experienced these great practioners while we were visiting Burlington.

Review №31

This was by far the highlight of our trip. My sister and I had a couples massage with Ben and Elayna. They were professional in every way and asked us if the pressure was right during the massage. That is a great therapist to me if they check in to see how you are feeling. Both were incredible and we left there with smiles and new bodies. I would drive 2 hours just back just to have another one. The place itself is rustic and adorable. I highly recommend them!!!!!

This week we scheduled a 60-minute couples massage that was long overdue. Colton and Ameer were both very professional and communicative, and we left feeling so much better than we did going in! We will definitely be working a regular massage into our routine. Thank you everyone at Brilliant Massage for making this experience relaxing and comfortable!

Review №33

Picture this, you have just driven 1,000 miles and youve been sleeping on the literal floor for the last 3 nights because UPS lost your mattress. In comes the only studio that had a decent website and I could make an appointment in minutes.You arrive at the spa early on a Saturday morning because you CANNOT wait and your back is screaming things not fit for a high school bathroom wall. In steps Elayna who not only listens when you say you need an actual light massage, not an elbows deep massage.When you leave, you feel 20 pounds lighter and your arms are beginning to listen when you tell them to move, and your back is only screaming elementary school insults now, and would like a juice box, thank you.Great service, Elayna really listened and more importantly was able to deliver the comfort level massage I needed which is very unusual since Im all skin and bones. Very comfortable, great scheduling, relaxed little cave environment under the building (go through the front UNDER the stairs).Will be scheduling again soon, highly recommended

Maribel is excellent at what she does. I suffer from sciatic pain and she worked really hard on me to relieve me of that pain and I appreciate her ability.Very minor irritation was employees who were outside of the room where I was receiving my massage were a bit loud. I could hear them talking and laughing even though there was music playing during the message.

BEST MASSAGE EVER, if you are on the fence do not hesitate! The atmosphere was very inviting and relaxing, the therapists REALLY know what they are doing and leave you feeling completely refreshed. My boyfriend and I went for a couples massage and got Ben and Maribelle, they were absolutely phenomenal and they really listen to your concerns and made us so comfortable. Did I mention the massage tables are HEATED?! Definitely worth every penny and we will be making this a regular thing!

I have been going to Brilliant Massage and Skin for approximately 6 months now. My first massage was with Jolita, and she was excellent, and this convinced me to get the monthly package for 90 minute massages. Since then I have had the majority of my massages from Luis, who is also fantastic. Today, I woke up with a tweaked back from sleeping on the couch, and knowing I have to teach a yoga class to 100 people this weekend I immediately checked to see what was available here, and I was able to book a 30minute session with Ameer, and was absolutely blown away. Highly recommend.

Ive had many massages in my life. This ranked in the top five. Highly recommended. My masseuse was Autumn. I nodded off a couple of times it was so relaxing. Her work on my neck was the best Ive ever had. Driving home I suddenly noticed that the popcorn sounds that usually occur in my neck when stretching were gone. Great job. Highly recommend her. My wife said Emir (hope I spelled that right) was great as well.

I had a 60 minute massage from Colton and it was quite literally the best massage I’ve ever received. I’ve had bodywork done by many practitioners over the years and I can say that Colton’s technique is second to none. I only wish I lived closer to come in more often!

Review №52

Ive been lucky to have Ameer twice and Jolita once for a deep tissue massage. Theyre both amazing at what they do. Ameer is exceptional at communicating. He makes sure youre comfortable with the pressure throughout the experience, instead of asking just once or twice. Which, I really appreciate because sometimes you like more/less pressure depending on the area. He also integrates different styles that I personally havent had anywhere else. He made the experience relaxing and didnt ask me questions about myself, which I absolutely dread because Id rather not talk about work or my life during a massage, so thank you for making this the most beneficial and relaxing experience as always! Ill be back

I have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. They always get me in whenever I need an appointment, the prices are extremely reasonable for such a quality massage. I recently tried another spa for massage in the area and instantly regretted it, I paid more for a lesser massage. Brilliant massage is by far the top choice in the area.

I came into Burlington to take a 10 year professional certification exam and stumbled upon Brilliant Massage because they offered a last minute appointment. Elayna provided a very good massage and went out of her way with a relaxing essential oil in an effort to help me destress. Im not sure if it was the essential oil or just her approach but I slept better than ever in a hotel, and attribute my ability to relax to finding this sleepy massage therapy studio. Definitely recommend

Ameer was amazing! He gave me a well needed relaxing massage. He said he was a massage therapist for the Prince of Kuwait and I can see why!My wife had Luis as a therapist. She wanted a massage with more pressure and Luis was awesome! He made sure the amount of pressure he used was firm but not painful.The studio is located in downtown Burlington. It’s in a historic location and is tastefully decorated. If you are in the Burlington area I highly recommend you try Brilliant massage! I have had a lot of massages in this area and Brilliant is hands down the best!

Review №75

Ameer gave me one of the best deep tissue massages I have ever had! I have acute back pain and was feeling stiff, sore, and awful when I booked my massage. I knew I wanted the deepest massage I could get and was nervous when Ameer told me that he listened to the muscles and gave them what they needed, if that was more relaxation or deeper massaging. I hoped he wouldnt give me a light fluffy relaxation massage, and he certainly did not! Worked my back for a full hour and I left feeling the best I have in a while! He checked in and communicated to make sure the pressure was right and that I was comfortable. Very professional and kind, beautiful space, definitely will be back. Thanks Ameer :)

If I could give Danya from Brilliant Massage & Skin 100 stars, I would! I frequent in massages 1-2 times a year, and Danya truly exceeded my expectations, and is possibly the best Massage Therapist Ive ever had the privilege of experiencing! She got into kinks I didnt even know I had. Aside from the exceptional service Danya provided, the place was clean and relaxing, the customer service was incredible, and the prices were very reasonable. 10/10 recommend!

Rebekah was attentive and knowledgeable. Plan to visit again.Visited again. Today, I saw Jolita Sakmanite. Also wonderful.

Ameer is the man. Not only does he give the best massages but is communicative, wholesome and holistic! I highly recommend him.I work nearly all the time and needed some decompression, so I scheduled a visit for 30 minutes. After seeing what he was working with, he really recommended a 60 minute session. He didnt seem like he was upselling, and afterwards just proved he knows what he is doing! Definitely coming back.

My girlfriend and I came here for our first ever professional couples massage. We were not disappointed. The employees were professional and cared about us. We noted what parts of our body could use some work and they both made sure to note our requests. The massage covered our entire body, front and back. An hour flew by. I wish I could remember the names of our masseuses, but I’m sure all are great people. Do not hesitate to come here, seriously! If you’re a young college student like myself there’s no better time to get a massage before finals...

The first and best massage I’ve ever had! My husband and I travelled to Burlington from Maine for our one year anniversary. We were greeted at the door by our massage therapists Maribel and Luis.Immediately I felt completely comfortable with them and trusted them to guide me through my first massage. I had a baby almost a year ago, and my body has not been the same since. I told Luis what my issues were, and my husband told Maribel of his concerns as well.The ambiance and the gentleness of both massage therapists is what really blew me away. It was quiet warm and relaxing the entire hour (which flew by! Next time we are doing 90 min).Overall this studio and its massage therapists are the best in Burlington from what I can tell, and the next time we’re here we will definitely be back! Thank you so much Luis and Maribel you guys are amazing!!

I greatly appreciate the care and detail that Jolita put into finding out information about my skin prior to the facial. The experience was great overall.

My wife and I went to Brilliant for a couples instructional massage. It was a great experience. We both walked out with a massage and more importantly- the basic understanding of how to massage each other. This is such a valuable service for couples. In our case, my wife had given birth 10 weeks prior and has had some chronic muscle pain. This lesson has given me the ability to help her through it.I really cant recommend this service and business enough!
