Rescue Spa

"I booked a massage at rescue spa with a particular therapist who I was thrilled to see. My good friend Tim Grovel recommended me Refuse Spa in NYC and informed me of their Philly location. Tim has a really beautiful apartment in NYC and gets a massage once a week in various parts of the big apple. I thought it would be nice to treat myself to a nice massage but I had no idea going there what I’d be getting myself into. This place was nice, too nice…immediately as I walked in a younger man (27-32 years of age) greeted me and asked if I was to be getting a massage and facial. Usually I just get the massage and that’s that, but the facial was outstanding. I cannot recommend rescue spa enough, they cured many ailments in my back and also let me have a free facial with an esteemed therapist! I can’t thank my friend Tim enough for the recommendation. The facial and massage relieved a ton of stress! Attached is a photo of me after the facial. Thank you Refuse Spa!"

"Received a solid massage at Rescue Spa to celebrate some life events. Definitely wasn't a "luxurious" massage, rather much more a deep tissue healing experience. Good time overall, but I'd go back for a facial and not a massage next time."

"Gigi is the absolute best! I have been getting facials with her for 2 years and she has helped transform my skin. Gigi is very knowledgeable on all products and what will and will not work for my skin- she has great recommendations always. The experience as rescue spa is truly luxurious and relaxing and spending the time with Gigi is always enjoyable. My skin has never felt better & I know it’s because of Gigi and her ability to curate the perfect facial for me !"

"I book facials here a handful of times a year when my skin needs extra TLC. Every treatment I’ve gotten has been excellent. Even though it’s not cheap I think you get the value you pay for. The only thing I don’t like is how pushy they are about products. There’s always at least 2 items waiting for you at checkout, which does kind of ruin the relaxing experience. That’s just not what I’m looking for and I wish they would ask if you want recommendations instead of forcing the issue."

"The new space is absolutely beautiful!! I’ve gone to Rescue for years for my facials and it is one of my favorite spots in the city. My friends and I have come back here over and over again. Unfortunately, the experience and results are truly dependent on the esthetician you get. I really should keep a record of who I had each time but I thought the treatments should be pretty consistent. I wouldn’t recommend spending the money if you’re pregnant. It was my first time there pregnant and it felt more like a relaxing massage with products being put on instead of having treatments to improve my skin texture and problem areas like I had in the past; also it was more so 45 minutes than the full 60 I had paid for. My friends still loved their treatments and had the full hour they paid for unlike me unfortunately. I would definitely go back but request someone else."
