I want to start off first with the reception staff. I have been coming regularly for the past year & the two that were there tonight are the ones I normally see. Well, they are so friendly, welcoming & helpful. I love both thier personalities, you ladies rock!!! Secondly, the bathrooms are super clean & are in a way an oasis of goodness in themselves. Last but not least my massage therapist the one and only Daniel. I am so grateful and thankful for your amazing talent & gift with your magical hands. Thank you for not only stopping the occurrence of my tension headaches but, also helping my shoulder, neck & back pain, I adore you! You guys are awesome & I cannot thank you enough!! Keep up the great work!!

I bought 2 gift certificates to use for girls day at the spa in August. The earliest I could get scheduled was September 27th . One of the appointments was cancelled by the spa therefore I had to reschedule. The next available date that works was for October 18….that was just called and cancelled today the 17th I understand that people get sick but really?? I will looking for a refund on the gift certificates . I am very disappointed and frustrated because this was supposed to be a special birthday gift for a very dear friend. I will not recommend this place due to lack of customer service.

I had 4 massages and multiple facials. Clarissa was great for the facials. The first 3 massages were terrible. I had 3 different massage therapists and they were all awful. I was upset that I had to pay money for the services that were well under par. The staff doesn’t ask what you are looking for out of a massage to make a solid match with a massage therapist. After I mentioned that the first 3 massages were not good, I finally was scheduled with Chelsea. However, it was several weeks out for an appointment. She was great, but it’s hard to get any regular appointments with her. It’s frustrating to have to commit to a monthly membership they staff attempts to upsell every service. After my membership was cancelled, I was charged a final fee. This place is only getting 3 stars due to 2 stellar employees.

Very professional! They call 3 days in advance to make sure you’re still on for your appointment. After my second visit i got the membership (it’s kind of forced since they don’t mention that your initial visit is a courtesy price) which i don’t mind because i get a massage once a month that’s basically prepaid! I have only had one masseuse since my first two times there and that’s Ian! Amazing, gifted hands.

Clarissa was great! I never had a facial before and felt so relaxed. Little expensive for products and read didnt know they had a sign for expected gratuity, until afterwards. But I had already tipped her. So felt weird about that.

The massage itself was great. Extremely disappointed that I wasn’t told to arrive early so I came at my scheduled time, 7:45. Took 10 minutes to complete paperwork and change so I’m guessing we started around 7:55. Therapist left room at 8:35 and I paid for an hour massage. Won’t be returning.

Ingrid was such a warm and welcoming energy. I was immediately at ease and comfortable. She explained everything before we started, and communicated well throughout the massage without talking too much or ruining the calming environment. She may be an hour away but I will be returning to her soon! She explained all the new cleaning policies and the space was definitely properly cared for. Highly recommend!

Worst place to get a massage. I dont usually sign in to write a review but Im doing it this time. I don’t even know where to begin. Before I moved to Lancaster, Ive been with different spa services for years in Philadelphia, and I assure you there are much better spa places that are worth your time and money.I signed up for the membership subscription because I liked the first time I visited. However, the quality of services started decreasing as I kept visiting. I guess customer loyalty isn’t important once they hooked you into the membership, which you need to MAKE A FINAL PAYMENT TO CANCEL – NEVER, EVER SIGN UP FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP – RIP OFF – I actually read another customer complaining about the membership right before I started writing this review – should have known.Also, the staffs and managers will treat you differently depending on your STATUS. I paid good money to get the service but the therapist treated me like a kid. I look younger for my age but I’m a professional with more than four years of work experience, and even if anyone IS young, the person pays the same amount of money as other clients and should be treated equally respectfully – which was quite the opposite of what I experienced here.In addition, one of the managers I talked to was completely condescending. However, when I mentioned that I’m a business professor at a college while I was complaining about the way they were handling the situation and treating the clients, she suddenly changed her attitude and became much more accommodating. I never even intended to tell her my occupation but she explicitly asked me what I do and what I teach in college. WHY ON EARTH does she need to know my occupation and WHY ON EARTH does my occupation even matter when I was simply trying to get a refund for the service I didnt get? I was really annoyed that I had to drop the fact that I’m a PROFESSOR to get what I complained for. Obviously, you need to be SOMEONE with a HIGH STATUS to be treated nicely here in addition to MONEY.Although I called twice and specifically asked the staff to get the managers to give a call back, I never got one. When I made a call for the third time, neither of your managers were apologetic but just continued to give excuses that they were busy. Once it’s clear that someone wants to discontinue their service, there is no customer care whatsoever, and they become very unresponsive. I hope you dont get fooled by their friendly replies on Google reviews. I think they are just trying to LOOK responsive in public.Lastly, the manager told me she will send me the gift card for the remaining service because I dont plan to return to the Lancaster location ever again due to my unpleasant experiences with both my therapist and the managers. I waited three weeks and called today to check on the gift card. One of the staffs said it is ready but they havent sent it because I didnt request it to be sent, which is completely untrue. I dont understand why I need to make so much effort to get what Im entitled to. I even have a contract signed on cancellation terms that they will mail the gift card to my address.This is my worst spa experience ever, and the location doesnt even deserve one star.

Review №19

This used to be a warm and welcoming place. Now there’s no personality. I even had to request upgrade. After I gave my name, she didn’t even check to see if I had a membership, I had to tell her. Check in was warmer when I went for a colonoscopy check in, than it was here. Check out was just as unwelcoming. I have a few services paid for, and the I need to reconsider my membership. Won’t recommend anymore and will be looking for somewhere else to go. Personality is non-existing anymore And that’s sad. I used to look forward to going...not anymore.

This was my first visit to Hand & Stone. Ive been having issues with my lower back (I am over 50, a bit overweight, and have been working from home in a makeshift home office environment). The COVID procedure of calling when you arrive so they are able to make sure to have room clean and clients kept socially distant wasnt as much a bother as I had expected. Jessica was very nice. She and I talked some, again after 3 months of being hunkered down in work from home status it was nice to be sociable again. Jessica clearly knows what she is doing. She paced herself to allow quite a bit of time focused on my back. I cant say Im cured of back pain, but the massage definitely helped. I look forward to coming back again soon. Keep up the great work Hand & Stone.

Review №26

This was my first time for a one hour massage at Hand and Stone. The facility is clean, uncluttered, not heavily scented, and comfortable. The staff greeted me professionally. My masseuse listened carefully to specific areas that I felt needed some attention. She asked which pressure I felt was beneficial and was very careful with my whole body massage. She allowed for relaxation by not talking too much, other than to give some directions; yet she was friendly.

Review №29

Very relaxing and very pleasant employeesI would only rate my massage around 3 stars. Not enough pressure on my back. I also always start a timer on my watch when the therapist enters the room, the total time was 2 minutes short of what I paid for. For a first time experience and when I tell you I receive massages every 6 months and looking for a closer spa, you have to expect to give a 5 star massage to sell me on your spa, not to mention the membership that they push too much.Theres way too many other salons in the area to ever want to go back to this one.

Review №30

This was my first time visiting Hand and Stone. From the moment I walked in the door it was a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I was a little disappointed that my 55 minute massage was more like 35 minutes. The massage therapist came in the room to begin at 12:15p and she finished at 12:50p. Otherwise everything was great.

Review №31

They posted on here to call and they would help. I called and was treated so poorly. Again avoid this place at all costs they are dangerous and will take your money with no regrets. It took from February to August to finally get them to cancel the subscription. That’s seven months of bills and refused to return any monies even though not used. Manager was not helpful talked down. This place needs to be shut down as soon ad possible.

I received a 3 session gift card and 3 month membership to Hand & Stone, this was my first time experiencing the H&S spa. I would highly recommend to all my friends and family. I was greeted upon arrival by the lovely ladies at the front desk who were extremely knowledge about all the services and products that are offered. Gisele was my masseuse and she was FABULOUS! Truly a five start experience from start to finish. Thank you so much!

I came here this past weekend for a hot stone massage to find relief for lower back pain. The building is clean and relaxing. The people at the front desk were friendly and professional. My therapist was thorough and personable. He was able to identify problem areas I was unaware of. I would absolutely recommend Hand and Stone. Their prices are reasonable and they seem to be patient oriented.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a franchise, but it was awesome. The staff were friendly and helpful. My masseuse is now my “new best friend “! He really listened and understood my muscles. I signed up for the monthly program immediately. Give it a try - what do you have to lose, but some stress.

This was my first experience at Hand and Stone Spa, and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. I was very pleased with Zach, and would recommend him. He did a great job of making me feel relaxed and getting all those knots out that I didnt even realize I had! He had nice little touches such as a warm washcloth to use after the massage, and a drink of water afterwards. I look forward to going back!

I booked appointments for my Daughter and I and have to say was very disappointed. My daughter was surprised that her massage was done with her clothes on, this was our first time trying Hand and Stone and have to say we wont be returning. The people are nice but I feel they are unprofessional, I just wanted a massage and to relax. When I say relax I mean I do not want to engage in conversation the entire time of my massage. There were other things that were disappointing, we tried it and now we know thats not a place we would revisit.

One star only because the staff is professional and the technicians are good. Horrible corporate business practices, however. Never, never sign up for the monthly membership. My credit card was stopped because of fraudulent activity, and I now have lost 2 months services basically they took $120 from me. NEVER SIGN UP FOR THE MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP, RIP OFF!

Review №55

OMG, it was my first facial. I had planned to cancel and just wanted to use up my credits. I went and cancelled my cancellation. lol It was sooooo relaxing, like even more than the last massage. Stephanie is who I think helped me and she was amazing. i didnt even know a face could feel like that...it was like the most epic head massage but on your face. I cant believe what Ive been missing. I cant say how effective the facial would be for others because I have pretty decent and clear skin, thankfully, but I did notice smoother, softer skin. What I do suffer from and hate so much is the bumpy nose. its not like blatant because my freckles I think help to conceal it but I can always feel it. She did some extractions that helped for sure. My only ask would be for her to extract more. I went home and finished up myself. Might be a reason she didnt do most or all, maybe it being a first time and limited time to get it done.

You know, id love to write a review saying how amazing this place is, but i just dont know. I tried to find out. I requested an online appointment as advised 2 weeks ago, listing the day and time and never got that call from someone like I was told I would. My question is, why even offer this if youre not going to follow through with it? Completely unprofessional. So someone else will have my business, as well as the group of 8 I was going to book with me.

Review №61

First time here for a massage, surrounding were pleasant. Paid for a 1 hour massage, was taken back 10 mins late, Massage started at 8:15, therapist left the room at 8:57. I am assuming that they were ready to close and wanted everyone out. If this is the case, dont book a 8:00 pm appointment. Therapist was pleasant but I really needed a hour massage which is what I paid for. I have had many massages in many locations in this area and in other states and countries, this by far was the least desirable from a time stand point of what I was paying for.

Review №65

I booked an appointment for my husband a week and a half in advance. We received an email confirmation as well as a welcome email from Hand and Stone. I received a phone message 5 days before my husbands appointment about the online system kicking our confirmation credit card back (please note it had nothing to do with the numbers or the card). They had called and left 1 message. It took me 2 days to call back due to my FIL being in the hospital(hence the reason my husband could use a massage). When I called, they had no record of my husband in the system and told me the “system” kicked his appointment out. After calling and trying to understand I was told that it was there policy that if after 2 phone messages and no call back they cancel the appointment. I have my phone record and they called 1 time! I also was told that they had no openings left and then suddenly there were some appointments available in the morning. The lack of customer service was HORRIBLE and the system doesn’t work!! If I receive I confirmation it is a confirmation meaning it is CONFIRMING that I have an appointment. We decided to take our business elsewhere. We were going to sign up for the membership program but they completely lost our business after this experience!

Review №85

Very disappointed. My masseuse and I were not on the same page. I was supposed to be in for a swedish massage, but I have no idea what the hell that was I was given... Ive had a lot of massages over the years as a professional athlete. The problem is that all these different types of massage are blurred because everyone likes to put their own spin on them and more often than not makes it unpleasant when youre expecting one thing over another.Also, my lower back to my upper thigh was never touched. Basically an 18 black-out zone was forgotten about when I never mentioned any areas that I did not want to be touched on the info sheet or in person.The music was universal and not able to be changed from room to room, (which the website said, All rooms have individual sound and lighting controls) but I guess that means you have to listen to what everyone else is listening to or no sound at all.Overall it just felt way too corporate and cold, (not temperature wise) with the pushing of the member points/rewards system, the pushing of the products, and the assembly line-esque in and out.When I left it felt like nothing had been performed and I was less relaxed than when I went in.My masseuse retired a few years ago and it pisses me off that its so hard to find a good relationship at any of these modern shitholes.Went in with my wife under her name for those interoffice persons fact checking this. Focht was the name.

My husband and I are in the Lancaster area for our 10 year wedding anniversary and decided since I have been a long time member of Hand and Stone in south nj we would book a special couple massage for the occasion. Unfortunately we hit some traffic leaving dinner and I called and told the girl and the desk that we would be 15 minutes late and asked if that would be a problem. I understand the booking situations and wanted to make sure before we traveled out of the way. I was told your two therapists have no one after you so you are perfectly fine take your time. We still hurried and pulled in about 10 minutes late. As we pulled in she calls me back and says actually someone now booked the slot after us and we could pay full price for half the time or be charged half the service for canceling. Aweful customer service. At least tell us that was a possibility before we hurried 25 minutes from where we are staying when you originally said it was no problem at all.
