Reviews of Spa Bilancia (Spa)

Sarah Peloquin

This place is absolutely blissful. By far the best massage experience I've ever had. Also a fair price. My fiance and I had the 60 minute couples massage and we both really enjoyed it. We will be returning again soon!

Lucinda Smith

Ashley Saras

Perfect girls day out!! We were waited on hand and foot. Total relaxation! Beautiful atmosphere and amenities. Messages and facials were excellent. We will be back again!!

Theresa

What a wonderful experience! I love going here and it is such a relaxing place to go at the end of a long work day. Everyone is professional and kind and the waiting room is so comfy! It is worth every penny.

My friends and I just had a wonderful afternoon at the Spa Bilancia! Half our group had facials and the other half massages and each person had a great experience. The staff was friendly, accommodating and didn't rush us...which was so nice for a bunch of busy moms! I definitely recommend to anyone and would return in a heartbeat...fun to have a big city spa experience in the heart of Iowa.

We did a couples hot stone massage and it was the best experience. Alex and Gwen were our masseuses and I can't recommend them enough. Alex used a lot of pressure, but not too much and my husband felt amazing afterwards from Gwen. Will highly recommend them again!!!

Brianna Cagle

Great experience for a first time massage!

Derek Henscheid

Extremely relaxing and inviting environment for a massage. I've had several different masseuses and have yet to be disappointed. I usually go for either a sports massage or general deep tissue massage and arrive a little bit early to take advantage of the relaxation room available while you wait

Nicholas Merulla

Sent my wife here as part of an anniversary present. Got a facial as well as a massage and she could not speak highly enough of the experience. Insisted on it as a gift again in the future!

Ashlie Schroeder

I had my very first facial here with Caitlin and she did so amazing. The whole experience was perfect. I can’t wait to schedule my next one. Highly recommend!

Ashley Webster

Amazing experience came in to get my eyelashes refilled as a fit in and was treated with such good service I had a glass of wine and I even enjoyed their pumpkin fluff amazing Place love it will definitely keep coming

Marissa Leibold

Best eyebrow wax ever!! But all together the whole spa is so relaxing, you walk through the doors and you feel like you are on vacation.

Natalie Brown

I have been to many spas in the past and this one is by far my favorite! Such a relaxing experience!

Rebecca Ray

This is one of the best spas I've ever been to! I recently moved from Seattle and have been on a mission to find the best spa in town. Well, I found it at Spa Bilancia. Everything about this place is amazing...staff are helpful, relaxation area is calming, complimentary drink was refreshing, massage bed is the most comfortable I've ever been on, and my massage from Alex was a true deep tissue massage which is hard to find. Don't hesitate to book a service at Spa Bilancia, you won't be disappointed.

Around Christmas we walked by guy drinking from a Brown paper bag and smoking only 15 feet away from the entrance and the the guy ended up being my massager lol and the manager believes this is okay for his employee to do.

Tammy Ellickson Balk

Great facial and really nice relaxing room!

Kelli Wallace

Overall Atmosphere was nice. Pre-massage amenities were pleasant. Couples massage with a close friend started out fine but went awry when she had to quickly request that the masseuse turn off the heating pad as it was burning her chest. Masseuse was not even aware that the heating pad was placed there, or turned on. Masseuse was also continuously trying to make small talk during the appointment. We were there to relax.. in silence... not have small talk with staff during the massage.

Chuck Swaggerty

Very peaceful atmosphere and environment and amazing massage!!! Thank you Cole

Sarah Cisco

Love that if you come early you can get a glass of wine and relax in a nice quiet dark room before your massage. A bit weird to be in there with other ladies though. Fantastically relaxing massage. Will definitely be going back.

Zari Tirgardoun

I have been there twice so far and i love it . My therapist is wonderful and staff are so respectful. I recommend this place to everyone.

Ash Pickett

Best massage place near UIHC. I got a 60 minute therapeutic massage with Cole and he was fantastic. Very responsive and accommodating to your needs. The whole vibe of the rooms are peaceful and relaxing, especially the relaxation room. Arriving 30 minutes early for your appointment is essential because you get a chance to really wind down in the relaxation room with a complementary drink, a warm neck wrap, and warm hand/face towel. I will definitely be back again.

Ash

Massage was fine, also got a facial with my apt. I was extremely unhappy with the whole experience. Lights were totally shut off, no extractions were done and all that was applied to my face was a bunch of different liquids. I would've chose an extraction facial but the descriptions online made it difficult to decipher what facials were what. They did a leg and foot massage during the facial which I don't understand since I was getting a facial? I don't understand how the enestician saw anything she was doing to my skin because it was so dark in the room. There was no steam applied to my skin at all. Expressed my concerns at the beginning of the apt about white heads that I'd like to get rid of and they looked the same as before the service. The enetisicians hair kept brush my face during the appointment which was really insanitary and annoying. This place is high compared to other places in town and I was expecting to have a fantastic experience and it really wasn't. I'd skip the facials but the massages were okay. Everyone was generally nice in the place.

Excellent customer service! They go above and beyond to ensure a very positive experience.

Lisa Lackman

Caitlin & Teri are amazing ! The spa is gorgeous inside very warm and inviting. Hoping to get Gift Certificate's for Christmas from here !

Larry Haynes

I called to get a couple massage for our anniversary. They was very to get us in that day. They was awesome. Very nice employees! My wife likes a softer massage and I like deep tissue. We both was able to get what we wanted. Very comfy beds.

Frank Amling

I have been here for several massages and could not find something to complain about if I tried. The service is exceptional from the time you call to schedule right up to the time you leave. They have even taken the time to call after an appointment to offer advice. Additionally, I have purchased a couple gift certificates, and the recipients always rave about the experience. It is a great comfort knowing you can trust your loved ones are going to receive extraordinary care every time.

Emily Urban

Amazing and so relaxing

Kelsey Guetschow

Best spa in Iowa City. So glad I found them! Relaxation room with wine, tea, a hot neck pillow, blankets, and snacks before your treatment is amazing. I have always had the best professionals for massage and facials. Highly recommend.

PGHS

What a treat. My wife thought I needed to relax. Mission accomplished!

Abby Schneider

I had the massage therapist Alex. I thought the massage was great and I'll be back!

Brenda Griebahn

A little Nirvana on the Coralville strip! Super relaxing stone massage, and the relaxation room before service is a 10! Staff is very attentive to details. Will return and recommend!

Carol Oakley

It was wonderful I would recommend to anyone especially those who have been through stress and need to regroup therapists were all so caring and kind thank you to all hugs!

Jaxon Penfield

The best spa I've been to. The relaxation room before your appointment is such a nice touch. Everyone is friendly and the service itself made me feel like I was relaxing and being pampered for hours even though it was a one hour treatment. I had a facial from Dallana and she was wonderful! I can't wait to come back for my next treatment!

Monica Soto

Relaxing from the moment you step foot in the door! The robe and slippers, relaxation room, and complimentary drink before your service is the perfect touch. Skylar is one of the best estheticians I have ever had! She always has my skin looking and feeling amazing

Patricia Albro

This spa is the best , everyone there is not only friendly but treat you with the deepest respect. I will return time and time again I loved it

Shannon

I am blown away by the service here! You are treated like royalty. My entire experience was relaxing from the moment I walked in the door and the massage was well worth the money. The massage also includes a complimentary snack and drink which was a nice surprise! Make sure that you show up early to fully get to enjoy these benefits in the relaxation room!

Lynda Whittle

Absolutely exceptional spa experience! My first visit to Spa Bilancia for a massage and facial. The interior of the spa is warm, quiet, and supremely relaxing. Would suggest arriving for service early to enjoy reclining spa chairs, warm neck wrap, blanket and hot tea or wine in the spa lounge. I've been to five or six other spas in Iowa City and none compare to the experience here. Extremely professional staff and impressive environment with a sole focus on spa treatments (other spa/salons are distracted from relaxation by the chatter of hair and nail appointment customers).

Darcy Johnson

I took my mom to Spa Bilancia for her birthday. She was going through chemo treatments for breast cancer. The owner offers free facials and skin treatments for cancer patients going through treatment so I scheduled that for my mother and I got a regular massage. The owner was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. She asked my mom lots of questions about how she was doing and her treatments. The lounge is small but very relaxing. My massage was great. My mom said her treatment was wonderful. Extremely relaxing and made her feel amazing. My mom went back for another treatment and said it was just as amazing as the first one. They even let my dad relax in the lounge as my mom received her treatment. Wonderful place, wonderful owner and I would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Jennifer Carpenter

I had a massage and facial last week. Thanks to Alex I actually got deep tissue when I requested deep tissue!! It was wonderful. The facial and dermabrasion was awesome! So relaxing, I think I feel asleep during the hand/arm massage (yes, a massage comes with the facial! Yahtzee!). I recommend this place to everyone in and near the Iowa City area. I wouldn't spend my hard earned money anywhere else.

Amber Austin

What a hidden gem! There is nowhere like Spa Bilancia in the Coralville/Iowa City area. Was referred by a friend and will refer many myself. The exterior does not do justice to the beautiful and serene interior (they said the outside is getting a makeover in the near future). I felt pampered for the duration of my service and left with the most beautiful lash extensions applied by Caitlyn.

Anita

This was my very first time here at Spa Bilancia and it wasn't for a very relaxing experience either, it was for waxing. Let me tell you, the spa itself has a very calming atmosphere and looks so nice. They play calming music in the spa itself and in the room where you go to get your facials, waxing, massage, etc. done so it really helps with the "awkward silence" although, it doesn't bother me as i'm not a very talkative person anyways. Caitlin did an awesome job at waxing my legs, underarms and bikini area. She made sure I was ok and told me about how to care afterwards as well. We had a little talk and the same day i'm flying out to NY she's going to get married so a big congratulations to her once again, what a sweetheart. The relaxation room lives up to its name, it is the relaxation room. I almost fell asleep in there. I was surprised when the woman who was up front brought me into the room and covered me with a blanket and gave me a warm neck wrap as well as reclined my seat for me. I guess i'm so used to doing things on my own so that was a nice touch haha plus i've never been to a spa. When Caitlin came and got me from the room she also took my blanket off for me and everything and I was once again surprised. I had my appointment at 9:00 Am and I wasn't in there for long especially with all the waxing that happened I got out at 10:43 Am. I'm so happy, everything feels so smooth and nice. She took her time to make sure everything was pulled off and she even used tweezers. When you think of waxing you don't think of relaxing but in a way spa bilanica made my first time waxing experience somewhat relaxing to a certain extent. Caitlin could tell I was nervous but re-assured me that everything was going to be fine. I was partly nervous because i've never let anyone see basically my whole hairy body before (I know TMI) but I kept telling myself as well that she see's this stuff all the time and is used to it. Anyways if you're looking for a good relaxing experience and a good place to wax this is the place to go. I will definitely be back.

Kara Dieleman

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! We had a group of 8 there and was pampered all afternoon! Great drinks, snacks, and hospitality! The massage and facials were the best! Definitely will be a repeat customer!

Katy Brown

I spent my 40th birthday at Spa Bilancia and forgot I was in Coralville, Iowa. It was so relaxing and the staff was absolutely incredible. They even stole away and got me a gluten free treat from Scratch for my birthday. I will definitely be back and HIGHLY recommend you take a day and book a facial, massage, and spend time in the meditation room.

Jake Ernst

Gracie was incredible. She took everything I pointed out into account and even identified issues I didn't know I had. She even went as far as to recommend a stretching regimen that would help ease the tension in my shoulders. Top notch experience and a top notch spa.

Kenneth Carr

I was informed that there were several vehicles were removed from your parking area when you were not even open. I promise you if anyone asks i will let them know your place is not the place to go. Very rude and inconsiderate of how other people are treated. Thank god the establishment next door knows how to treat people and their grandchildren Shame on you and your actions. Might not make much difference but i will pass the word.
