So thankful Essentials is now open again. Been coming here for probably a year to take advantage of the Tuesday massage special. Donny is the best! Calm, quiet and able to work out tense shoulders and back. The hot towels are amazing as well. If you're looking for a clean, friendly and reasonable place to go, this is it.

Needed a good sports massage due to neck, shoulder, and arm pain due to COVID19 working from home, and didn’t want any fly by night commitment type of place. I did a lot of research to find a good place near Westchase, and Essentials Spa came through. My therapist, Grace, really worked my shoulders, neck, and arms and didn’t talk a lot which I love. She used hot towels also to relax my back and neck. I’ll be back! Thank you! Also the lady who answers the phone, I think Cindy, is so pleasant and friendly. Nice and clean facility with COVID19 measures in place!

I was having a skin emergency this morning and I called several other places and they couldn’t get me in but when I called the owner was so sweet and got me as soon as I could and my experience with Lauren was nothing but great. She made my experience wonderful, informed me on how to maintain my skin for the duration of my trip and even gave me some travel friendly samples. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and when I come back into town I’ll be sure to make another appointment!

Amanda is the greatest. Because of COVID-19 I had a special request for my Relaxation massage today. As a 69 year old woman with diabetes, I merely wanted to exclude face up and hands. The original therapist informed me that I would have to upgrade to a Therapeutic massage for $5 more. She was not the least bit compassionate or understanding of my fears. It's not the money, it's the principle that I just wanted a Relaxation Massage with minimal exposure to possible infection. COVID-19, for me has caused a lot of stress resulting in Neck, Back and Shoulder pain. I just wanted to relieve some tension. Amanda was the complete opposite from the original therapist and has amazing hands. I've been going to the Westchase location since it's opening. The BEST experience I've ever had. Highly recommend Amanda **********!!!!!!!!!!

I had a massage done by Marya and it was by far the best massage I have ever received. I have a lot of knots in my back making massages very uncomfortable. Marya was able to working on my back in such a way that I was not uncomfortable at all. It was the first time I actually enjoyed a massage. I wish I lived in Tampa and could have go to her regularly. She came highly recommended by someone local.

I highly recommend *Lindsey* for a deep tissue massage! She knows how to apply exactly the right pressure and which areas to focus on. She listened to my concerns and incorporated several different massage techniques to achieve amazing results! She is available at the Westchase location on weekends and at the Ehrlich location during the week. Thank you, Lindsey! I hope to see you again soon, Jane

Had a facial & dermaplaning with Lauren. She's amazing, super nice gave me an update on everything she was performing before she did it & answered my questions. Very much needed, thank you Lauren! Also bought the face wash they have & I'm excited to try it!

My favorite massage therapist exceeded my expectations with her unique massage techniques. Marya is punctual, professional, and excellent at what she does. I enjoyed having her energy and passion for what she does. She is very popular with her Deep Tissue Massage in my family and group of friends.

I purchased a couples' massage and my boyfriend and I were given excellent massages from Daniel and Keysha (I could be mispelling their names or be botching them a bit...). I often get massages at a different provider nearer to my house, and though I love that office's work, I felt even more relaxed during and after my treatment here. I liked how often both therapists checked in to see if we wanted more/less pressure in a given area, etc.I bought my visit on Groupon, but it looked like their prices were very reasonable.My boyfriend and I highly recommend them!

I was so lucky to get a massage with Uniqicia. She took her time in tight areas on my back with medium pressure. I was so impressed I set up an appointment for my mom for 90 minuets. Best massage ever!

I have been going to Lauren for several years for my facials. She is very knowledgeable in her field, makes recommendations to you based on what she thinks will help your skin and really takes her time and and is gentle with extractions and applying products to your skin. She is also very kind and truly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend her and you will not be disappointed. She also has a beautifully decorated facial room. I can not say enough great things about her service.

I have just come home from yet another AMAZING facial , this time the oxygen facial with derma planing done by Lauren, and an INCREDIBLE relaxing and perfect massage by Maja.I live part time in Tampa and have been here many times. Everything about Essentials Day Spa is outstanding. The service, professionalism, the beautiful decor, and the very reasonable pricing. So many things to choose from on their spa menu. Please treat yourself or a loved one to bit of heaven right here in Westchase at Essentials Day Spa, you will return again and again.

Best massage I've ever had. This is my go to place! I try to use Mayra or Zara when I book because they really know the body. When they aren't available, I'll go to anyone, haven't had a bad experience. The staff and every single masseuse I've had are professional and freaky want you to leave the place feeling good.

You must get services from Lauren, she is wonderful. She really works with you to get the best results. She is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease during the consult. The atmosphere of her room is so serene and relaxing. I always leave her table feeling rejuvenated and glowing.I moved from the area and will still make the trip to get facials and treatments from Lauren.Nanci L.♡

I came to the Essentials Spa of Westchase looking for help improving my skin issues, and that's what I got over the past three months. I've seen Lauren once a month so far for facials, and I've seen an improvement with my skin. She's really helped to target my problem areas and focuses on what needs attention when I come in. Lauren takes her time with you, explains everything she's doing and why, and makes sure her recommendations will work with your budget. The spa itself has affordable prices, a nice atmosphere, and the staff is helpful.

Received a relaxing and wonderful facial with some extras. Loved it! I haven't had a facial in so long and the difference in my skin from entering and leaving the place was amazing. Lauren was very gentle and thorough with the steps and process before we started to see what was best for my skin. Amazing experience. Will be coming back.

A little late in sharing but I had a wonderful experience as a new client at Essentials Massage & Facial Spa. I saw Lisa a month ago. She was friendly and personable. I had the microdermabrasion facial with a detox cleanser. It was so relaxing and Beneficial for my skin. My skin was breaking out consistently for a little over a month and I believe it was from the stress ofMy move, new job and environment. My skin immediately felt clean, less irritated and blemish free within a few days. It was Glowing! Minor peeling of dead skin post-facial (which is expected) but I couldn’t believe how clear it looked and how nice my makeup would apply. I will definitely be back 🙂 Thanks!

I came into Essentials Massage with horrible sciatica pain and Marja was able to work it out of my hip, leg, and foot. I plan to return each month for a "tune up"! The building is beautiful, smells amazing, and very clean. The receptionist is charming and resourceful. She makes it easy to get your appointment set up. I highly recommend Essentials Massage & Facial Spa of Westchase. It is tucked away behind Publix on Linebaugh and Countryway Blvd.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences going here. I’m a frequent visitor, I try to aim for at least once a month. It’s clean the staff is professional and everyone is nice. Uniqicia is an massage therapist and I recommend her she truly has healing hands and does her job with her best. Zara is great too.

Facial with Lauren: I’ve had facials before but Lauren certainly has raised the bar for me. Her soft spoken approach was very soothing and inviting. She was very informative and made me more aware of my man skin needs. Her massages, while the masks did their work, were a nice plus. As a guy, I wasn’t necessarily too concerned about my facial skin but now I’m looking forward to my next appointment.Thanks Lauren, see you soon.

I get facials from Lauren and always leave with my skin GLOWING. She really knows what she is doing and I am able to just lay and relax knowing that she is going to take care of my skins needs. She is always friendly and knows how to make sure I am able to de-stress.

I have been getting facials with Lauren for a while now and she is great! She intently listens to your skincare issues and is able to suggest things that would work best. Her facials are very relaxing and she always takes her time while making sure you are comfortable. I went through 3 sessions of microchanneling with Lauren and my skin has improved quite a bit. The effect on my pores was what I wanted and I will definitely be going back again!

Essentials has been the place that I go to get facials. Every time I get a facial I always request Lauren because she has helped me so much with clearing up my acne and I know I can count on her to do what is right for my skin. I definitely would recommend Lauren for a facial and especially for teenagers struggling to clear up their acne.

I’ve been getting facials with Lauren for 2+ years and it’s been nothing but a calming relaxing experience. She is very soft spoken and will tell you in detail what your skin needs and further more she has become a great friend and listener. You can tell she really cares about each and everyone she sees. I saw her for the first time in 6months today and forgot how much I enjoy her facials. Massage and essentials will be seeing a lot of me! I highly suggest supporting their business :))

I’ve been going to see Lauren for microchanneling (like microneedling) and after three sessions with her, the results are wonderful! I’ve seen a lift in my face, overall improvement of skin integrity, increased collagen, wrinkle reduction and reduced pore size! Thank you Lauren!

Ask for a deep tissue massage with Uniqicia. I referred by my client & his wife. Uniqicia really helped my back pains I’m dealing with lately. It was my first visit too.

Amazing!! Great Customer services and bedside manners. I was in Tampa visiting due to a funeral, and share couples massage with several of my family members and they were all extremely pleased with the service. I usually go to get therapeutic massages weekly in my city. This was a great experience, any massage with hot stones highly recommend. To make the experience completely amazing, I would suggest they add a locker room to change into a bathrobe, and an actual relaxation room with recliners and warm neck pillows to let go of everything and relax before the massage and less lighting in the massage rooms and some sound and aromatherapy.

Grace was fantastic! My other half booked this massage for me last minute, and I couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. The studio is a charming little place with multiple, tastefully decorated massage rooms. The rooms have warming mats on the massage beds and soft, ambient lighting, which really sets a relaxing mood.Grace truly knows her stuff—from start to finish, the massage was incredible. She made sure to check in with me about the pressure, which I really appreciated.Overall, I’d highly recommend her! The only small downside was that the doors aren’t very soundproof, so you can hear people in the corridor if they’re talking. Fortunately, it was pretty quiet during my visit, so it didn’t take away from the peaceful atmosphere.

I went in today for my first facial and was attended by Lauren, I loved her so much! She was so attentive, sweet, and I loved that she answered any questions I had about what she was putting on my face and I definitely will be coming back for facials with her. She gave recommendations and is very well qualified - I mean she herself had really clear glossy skin! I felt so comfortable and had such a good experience!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I had one of the best massages with GRACE. I was in so much pain going in & very tight throughout my entire body. I felt so much better & got a lot of relief by the end of my massage. I have gone to Essentials Massage for years! They never disappoint. Ever! The front desk receptionist was awesome helping me get an immediate appointment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! 😀

I've been going here since 2020. I've gone to higher end spas all over Tampa, received treatments for x 2 the price and NOTHING has beaten Essentials this far. Lauren is the GOAT for anything facials. She knows what she's talking about, never makes me feel bad for my skin (acne prone, hyper pigmentation) , makes me feel pressured to buy more than I need, and of course I come out feeling and looking glowing!I also got a relaxation massage from Erin recently and oh my goodness, I fell asleep! Perfect pressure, attention to details, and again it's not just the service itself but also how your therapist makes you feel. As a naturally timid/anxious person I felt totally at ease and comfortable.I cannot recommend this place enough.

Have been to this massage spa a few times now and have seen Jessica primarily who has always exceeded my expectations! However, good as she is, she was fully booked today so I was scheduled with Christian who was absolutely amazing! Between Jessica & Christian, I have never been disappointed and I’ve had a LOT of massages, but nobody has even came close to these two LMTs. Absolutely HIGHLY recommend booking with either Christian or Jessica, you will leave feeling so relaxed and will want to book your next appt with them ASAP!! Thank you both so much for healing my body and giving me the best massages I have ever had!! Also a shout out to the front desk who is always so kind and accommodating!

I’ve going here for massages and facials over six months now. All my experiences have been great and I absolutely love Lauren. Her facials are amazing! However I was just there on Tuesday and treated my fiancé for his birthday with a couples massage and a facial for him. Gina did my massage for the second time and she was great. However, it was my fiancé’s first time and he had Grace and he was dissatisfied with his massage. He said she barely massaged him and when she was massaging his neck her nails would dig in his skin. I was telling him how Gina was massaging me and he was like, Grace barely massaged him. And my friend recently got a massage from Grace, she was dissatisfied as well. My fiancé of course enjoyed his facial with Lauren. Overall I’d recommend this place however, get your facial from Lauren forsure and massage with Gina.
