KC Spa — Local services in Wilmington

The only place able to take a walk in. The owners are really nice, not sure what ethnicity they were but they were Asian. Their culture was beautifully embedded into their store which made the atmosphere very calming and fitted their spa aesthetic. Gentleman who gave me the massage went a few minutes over the hour deep tissue massage which I thought was nice, he could’ve just stopped where he was. Definitely not like your modern head and stone spa vibe, so not super luxurious, but considering I needed a walk in appointment it was worth my money and time! 1 hour deep tissue was $70 when I went (August 2024).

They made me pay and leave tip when I first walked in $70 for deep tissue, I left a $15 tip hoping it would be a good massage... but I was just gently rubbed up and down for an entire hour. No muscle was touched, or grasped. I still have all the same tension, aches and pains I walked in with. I asked several times for them to go harder or to rub deep but there was no actually getting them to do it. Although both individuals were lovely human beings I feel like I payed for a service I...
