Spa At The Barn - Ringgold (GA)

3 /5 Alisha Weldon: For starters, I’m not one who would write a public review of a place, especially if it is negative. It is so hard to get someone to answer the phone and call you back here, and I feel that they should be aware of this. I have been receiving massages at Spa at the Barn for many years and have always had an incredible experience. Unfortunately, yesterday was an exception to that. My husband booked us a couples massage for our anniversary and we were looking forward to enjoying it. I have inflammatory arthritis, and I specifically let the therapist know this before we started. I told her only do a light to medium pressure. She told me that was fine just to let her know if it was too much. Once she started, her pressure was definitely a deep pressure, I asked her if she could lighten the pressure and she did not respond. Not long after, I again told the therapist to stop that’s too deep. She responded with my ligaments are tight and I’m trying to work it out. I told her it hurt and to stop. The therapist continued to use moderate to deep pressure throughout the massage. Fast forward to today, I am in pain and can hardly move! I know from previous massages that I’ll be sore a little the next day. This is more than that. I honestly feel like this therapist caused harm and could be dangerous for others. Currently, I am considering never getting a massage again. Though I am young and will recover, others may not. Please choose your therapist wisely. If you find a good one, request them. My husband had Anna and said she was fantastic!

5 /5 Eunice Mcnabb: I took myself and my 3 daughters for massages for Mother’s Day this past week. I had the pleasure of Tiko giving my massage and it was the best I’ve ever had! I’m a physical therapist , so I am knowledgeable in proper technique, he was very professional and exceptional in his skills. He asked several times about the pressure and focused on the areas I said were problematic but also found other areas I didn’t know needed attention. My other daughters had Maria, Anna and Jamil and all said their massages were excellent! I’ve had many massages at Spa at the Barn and they did not dissapoint. I will be asking for Tiko in the future.

1 /5 M S Lee: I had a very uncomfortable massage here. The massage therapist’s hands were cold and she used an excess of oil, making for a very sticky experience. Her technique was not great. It was not relaxing. They also didn’t have any water (odd for a spa?). She also was not able to give me a receipt and asked me to call back when someone else was there. Tell me why it’s been impossible to reach these people? I finally begged for the owner’s email address and she called me, despite my request to conduct all communications via email. I have called again since then and have been unable to reach her even over the phone. I am still waiting on a refund.

4 /5 Jesica Acosta: Cute rustic atmosphere and good pricing. Unfortunately, my massage therapist Donna was very harsh with her hands. I had to ask for lighter pressure three times. Mainly used her fore arms for the massage and not her hands. She used what seemed to be coconut oil for the massage which did not give her the slip she needed and it felt like she really need to push in order to get her hand to glide which almost hurt at times. She did not knock or announce herself after asking me to get ready to be on the table which I thought was odd. Did not ask what pressure I wanted before the massage either. I had asked to focus on my back and neck area and was face up for most of the time. Willing to try this place again but with another therapist.

5 /5 Lisa Wiley: Updated 01/26 Kim, the owner, contacted me regarding my facial mentioned in the review below and expressed this was not a reflection of the services she provides in her establishment and asked for the opportunity to make it right. I went bank this morning and had the most amazing one hour spa experience! Not sure if I’ll ever go back for a massage, I think I’m hooked on the facial moving forward! She was the epitome of an exceptional business owner and masseuse! She cares about the customer experience and I will highly recommend her to all my friends! You won me over Kim! I have mixed opinions on today’s spa experience. My husband gifted me a one hour massage followed by a one hour facial. The massage was maybe the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend Jamil. First time I’ve had a male masseuse and he was very professional/exceptional. Zero complaints with the first hour. This was my first experience with a facial so I can’t say whether or not it was “good” but I can say it wasn’t what I expected. First she didn’t come in the room to get started until 1:50 and I was dressed and leaving the room at 2:34 but in addition to that there were a few long pauses, idk… maybe 20/30 seconds each when she just stopped and I’m laying there wondering what she’s doing. Everyone was friendly I just don’t feel I receive what my husband paid for, especially since the pricing for the facial is more than the massage. I won’t be doing that again.
