The Woodhouse Day Spa – Red Bank

Recently I came to the woodhouse to start my bachelorette party off the right way and they did not disappoint! They were able to accommodate 10 girls for massages and facials. The service was outstanding by the girls at the front desk making us feel at home and comfortable and by the professionals giving the service. Everyone in my party had nothing but good things to say. And it was the perfect start to a fun evening. I 100% recommend the wood house and I will be back.

I have been to the Woodhouse several times, but I only just recently had a Swedish massage from Michael… I will never go see anyone else! It was the best massage I have ever gotten in Monmouth County. I have seen Olga here too, who is great for a deep tissue. The spa is beautiful, clean and I’m consistently impressed by the serene atmosphere!

Went here for my friends 40^th. While I will say the place was spotless clean, the massage therapist I had was below mediocre. Not only did I find the service below par for the price, I finished a full 20 minutes before my friends that booked the same time treatments! When I asked about it, I was told they went in late, which is hard to imagine since we all walked in together. I didn’t want to say a word at the desk about the service because it wasn’t worth ruining my friends experience, and to be honest the therapist was so sweet, but just not skilled. It was just a very disappointing experience and it is a shame because the place is so gorgeous and I was thrilled to have found a local place that felt so fresh and clean. For the price and the attention to detail they put into the building, I would have thought they would have a experienced massage therapist. I would recommend the place but I would be sure to ask for an experienced therapist. I would say that the manager should get a hot stone massage from the less experienced staff and they will see what I’m talking about! It was plan out horrible! My skin is actually scraped and broken from the volcanic stone. My friend loved her facial, so if a facial is what you want, then go for it. Hot stone? Trust me, don’t bother.

Let me just start off by saying my husband has gifted me to some really awesome spa packages in the past at some amazing places. Woodhouse unfortunately does not compare.
When you enter you immediately walk downstairs (I don’t remember seeing an elevator if you need one). The whole spa is very nicely done and staff is professional. The relaxation room is small with a couch and several chairs.
I went with a friend and we both got the spa classic package. For $ 251 we received a massage, facial and pedicure. Overall we enjoyed almost everything but it was just ok. My friend hated her pedicure with Barbara. She didn’t apply a base coat and left nail polish on her skin. I thought Jewel did a great job with my facial and pedicure.
I wouldn’t bother going here for a mani/​pedi. If you go for a massage or any other service wait until spa week where you can try their services for half the price.
Our whole experience while not horrible was just eh. We probably won’t be back.

I love this place. Massage therapists, Katie and Olga are awesome. Facials by Daniella, the best! The sweethearts at the front desk, always helpful and cheerful. And Jewel, awesome mani and pedis.
The atmosphere and professional quality of this spa rank 5 stars. I’m a regular and I have never had a bad experience at this place.

I booked a massage here for my birthday not knowing what to expect. From someone who enjoys going to spas a few times a year, this one definitely is one of my top experiences! the place was clean and décor was nice. its pretty standard to have bathrobes, sandals, and a relaxation room. but i give bonus points for the heated neck pads and for the type of tea they offered at the beginning. im curious what kind of tea it was!
i had katie as my masseuse and she was just great. i loved her. i had no issues with her pressure or technique. what i really appreciated was her attentiveness and care. i had allergies and so my nose was a bit stuffy. she at one point elevated the bed and placed a heated pad on my eyes/​nose to alleviate my sinus. it wasnt part of the service but she went out of her way to try to make me feel better. she also had me breathe in some eucalyptus scented oil which helped but i think that is part of any massage service.
the overall massage was great and i think helped reduce some knots without causing pain. i really enjoyed the little extra things that i havent seen from other spas, like the hot towels for the feet, hot towels for the back, and little face massage (or maybe that was also to help with my sinus?).
overall i enjoyed everything and recommend katie for anyone getting a massage!

I went here for the first time today using a groupon purchased in December. Very nice atmosphere and amenities. Olga gave me my massage. My kinks and knots are gone. No more headache and sinuses are clear. I plan to see Olga many more times in the future. Olga is now «my person». Jewel gave me a very nice pedicure and hand peel. Lauren Ann’s facial and eye contour was so peaceful and relaxing that I actually nodded off a couple of times. What a lovely day! See you soon, Olga!

I got a great deal on a groupon so I came in today for a massage, facial and pedicure. The spa is neat, clean and relaxing from the minute you walk in. The massage was nice. Krista did my facial. She was very knowledge and thorough. After she explained all of the products she used and why. Pedicure was good but wouldn’t make this my regular spot. Not worth $ 70. The room was clean but the towels were stained. Not just one but several. For that much money, buy new nail towels.

First experience visiting The Woodhouse, which is a chain of spas with 3 locations in New Jersey. Overall a very pleasant first experience. Facility was very clean and neat. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Massage was OK. I say OK, since this is very subjective dependent upon your masseuse. I had a young woman who did a good job, it just wasn’t the best I’d had. I will be visiting again and will be certain to ask for someone else who may have more overall experience.

Great Location. Right in downtown Red Bank. They have their own parking lot in the rear. If you don’t live in the area it’s easy to get too. Lovely ambience. Great services and front desk. I would not suggest Barbara for the pedicure.

This was my first time at Woodhouse Day Spa. I was looking for a new spa to try with my mom and one that also took our Spa Finder gift cards. I had a massage by Olga, she was absolutely wonderful! Olga was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and the massage was perfect! The staff at the front desk was very friendly and accomdating. They had no problem with the Spa a Finder giftcards. I was also late to my 80 minute massage appointment due to traffic and they simply adjusted my massage to a 60 minute so I wouldnt have to pay for the initially scheduled 80 minutes. I will definitely be going back. They also have a package that you can buy 5 massages and get 1 free which I will look into. Recommend. requesting Olga for massages!

I was actually going to rate this 5 stars since I had 3 wonderful experiences there. I bought an amazing groupon for massage, facial and pedi, and I was treated like a goddess. There was no attitude about the fact that I was a groupon customer, and they even allowed me to split up my groupon for different days. They are extremely accommodating, even when I needed to cancel and reschedule my massage on the same day. I had a massage by Andrea, a facial by Brittany and two pedis by Jewel. All were fabulous. The only reason I docked a star was the price to have my gel polish removed — TWENTY BUCKS!!! Just to remove gel polish. They don’t even include the price of removal if you’re planning on getting your mani there. I know day spas like this are expensive. And I’m perfectly willing to pay for a fabulous massage, facial or pedi. But $ 20 to remove gel polish is too ridiculous.
Overall, loved my experiences there and will definitely come back.

I can’t believe I never reviewed this!
I love how you walk down these elegant steps, and then step into a huge underground layer, calm, quiet, mood lighting and serene.
I have had a manicure, a bath, a massage and a microdermabrasion here.
the bathrobes and slippers are true love.
I know they have a large array of services, and that spas aren’t cheap, but I wish they had better deals with their last minute specials. I feel like as a local, I could feel appreciated more! I would be here much more often if I felt like I got something special for it.
The microderm was nothing special. I didn’t notice any difference. I know you’re supposed to get multiple treatments but that isn’t why I spend so much mula for one appointment! When I took the bath the water was a little cold. Everything else was soothing, smelled great, and everyone is very friendly without being weird about it.

Just left the spa with my husband for our anniversary where I hoped for a true spa experience. My husband enjoyed his massage however I must’ve gotten a new employee — new in the field. Not only did she sniff snot threw her nose the entire time (after 10min i asked her if she would mind blowing her nose where she replied «no its okay») — the massage was less than adequate. What a waste of my time and money. Disappointing

I’ve gotten many massages at sooo many different places, From NY to across the pond, at all different types of places with all different prices and this place was hands down the best. I had the cilantro massage with Olga (and I don’t even like cilantro) as a present from my hubby and it was nothing short of amazing. She knew exactly where to rub and what pressure to use. I sometimes have a problem speaking up when I’m getting a massage because I just want to relax and not mess up the therapists flow. This inevitably turns out to produce some less than stellar services but this time everything was perfect. I wrote my massage preferences on my fact sheet and she actually followed it. She has a great talent and I’m so happy she is sharing it with the world. Thanks Woodhouse day spa for having a beautiful, clean environment and thanks Olga for having intuition and strong hands. I will definitely be back. If you’re ever in the area for planning a trip to red bank this place is a must.

I received a spa package for two as a mother’s day gift from my son as a surprise. As I am not into the spa experience, I asked for refunds. They said it is not their policy to give refunds and refused. Very poor customer service!

I had the pleasure of finally checking out Woodhouse Day Spa in Red Bank for the first time during Spa Week, October 2013 and I am so glad I did. The whole experience was wonderful. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the receptionist at the front desk. The whole facility was beautiful, very clean, and relaxing. I had a facial with Brittany who was amazing. She did an excellent job and was very friendly and welcoming. She explained everything she was doing in detail and told me what each product was used for. She also answered any questions I had about my skin care routine, products, etc. She was very professional and a real sweetheart. I will definitely be returning and asking for Brittany. Thank you Woodhouse and Brittany for such an enjoyable experience.

I had a Woodhouse signature pedicure .The front desk reception is unfriendly, as another Unilocaler has stated. The pedicure chair does not have plumbing, so 2 pitchers of hot water from a sink were poured by hand into the basin where you put your feet. I knew that was a problem for a good pedicure, as no scrubs or other soaps could be used. You cannot get your feet or legs rinsed off, so basically the pedicure consists of lotion, and hot towels. I did not receive the 80 minutes of service as stated in the description, and when I told the attendant at the front desk, her reply was, the clock was wrong! End of story.
As I walked out of the spa, feeling like I just wasted a lot of money, I noticed a nail salon across the street, advertising a mani/​pedi, for $ 30. Wake up call!
My advice, go elsewhere for pedicures.

I visited the Woodhouse for the first time after my boyfriend gave me a gift certificate there for Valentine’s Day. I booked online (which was quite easy) for an 80-​minute deep-​tissue massage & arrived half an hour early, as instructed.
The crux of my review is this: The massage was excellent. My massage therapist, Olga, was friendly & kind, asking a lot of questions («How’s the pressure?» «Does that feel OK?» etc.) throughout to make sure the experience was a good one. I explained to her that I have some nerve damage from an old surgery & that I carry my tension in my neck, & she tended carefully to those areas. At times, she explained to me exactly what muscle she was working on so that I could learn more about what works to make me feel better. Of course, she tried to upsell me by telling me I needed to get a massage every two weeks. Who wouldn’t love to get a massage twice a month? Unfortunately, if I did that, my life would be nothing but massages & Ramen noodles; $ 400 a month in massage hardly leaves room for anything else.
Though Olga was excellent, I have to dock a star for the friendliness (or lack thereof) of the front desk staff. The woman working the front when I came in was quite reserved bordering on unfriendly, which felt surprising for a spa; typically, spa greeters are warm to the point of effusive, welcoming new guests, in particular, & trying to make an overall positive impression. This woman couldn’t be bothered to smile or to even pretend like she gave a damn about the client experience. She walked me into the changing area, muttered some muddled instructions, & left without ever cracking a smile.
A different woman was working the front desk when I left, & I was blown away to find her equally cold. I’m a friendly, jokey person, & I was willing to give employee #2 the benefit of the doubt (as I’d initially done for employee #1), but she, too, couldn’t be bothered to display even a modicum of personality or warmth. She was polite in a way that feels unpleasant & forced, like she couldn’t wait for me to be out of the room. When I handed her my gift card, I told her I wasn’t sure how much was on it, & yet she ran it without telling me that OR the cost of my massage. When I asked how much my service came to, she just told me, «Your card covered it,» which of course didn’t help me determine how much to tip my massage therapist, so I had to ask again — awkward. Honestly, I was glad to get out of there & not have to deal with the stuck-​up desk staff anymore.
My massage was absolutely worth five stars. But my overall experience, unfortunately, was not.

I love The Woodhouse. I’ve been a fan since they opened in Montclair and when I found out they opened one in Red Bank I couldn’t be happier. I received a 50 minute swedish massage from Ashely and it was amazing. I have a back injury and she was very attentive with asking how I wanted the massage to go, how much pressure I liked and so forth. By the time the massage was finished I couldn’t wait to re-​book a next appointment. The girls at the front desk are also fantastic and went out of their way to make sure my cousin and I got appointments for Spa Week as well as booking our next appointments. Woodhouse will always be my go to spa.

This is quickly becoming one of my new favorite spas. I first heard about it through word of mouth so I kept my eyes open for a deal. I found a great deal on Groupon for the Woodhouse Escape spa package (normally $ 230, I got it for $ 89). I believe I had Stephanie, who was amazing. She took her time, made me feel so relaxed I came close to falling asleep, and gave my muscles a much-​needed massage. It was an amazing treatment. A week later (today), I used one of the spa week deals (classic facial $ 50, set of 3 for $ 150) and had a facial with Josie. I agree with the previous reviewer, she is amazing. She also took her time, explained every product and step of the facial. I felt like I got a high-​end facial for a huge bargain. I also agree that the spa is very clean and the staff are very friendly. The only downside is the normal prices are pretty high. I will definitely be back, but I’ll likely stick to the deals/​discounts for now.

This place is fantastic! I went here for a full spa day on my birthday and was absolutely blown away by the services I received. The staff was extremely friendly, professional and accomodating. I received the most relaxing facial and pedicure from Josie, she really took her time with me and made me feel like it was all about me! Another plus was the cleanliness of the staff and the spa. I will definitely come here again :)
