How the scores work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated each spa. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than the same score from a few dozen. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives spa pricing in Philadelphia

Prices are not listed for these spas, so ask each one for its current rates. Cost depends on treatment length, the therapist’s level, add-ons such as hot stone or CBD oil, and whether you book a package or membership. Urban Oasis says its members get 15% off, and Hand & Stone and Skincare Lounge both advertise memberships.

Spas around central Philadelphia

The spas sit in the central stretch of Philadelphia around Sansom, Locust and Walnut Streets. Searching for a spa near me? Pick by the treatment first, since the walk between them is short, and check the opening days: Body Restoration is closed Sunday and Monday.

What to ask before you book

  • How long is the treatment, and does the time include changing and consultation?
  • Can I request a specific therapist or esthetician?
  • Are add-ons such as hot stones or CBD oil priced separately?
  • Does a membership include a monthly treatment, and how do I cancel?
  • What is the cancellation policy for a missed appointment?
