Decided to try this place on a whim being almost 39 weeks pregnant, and WOW, I was in BLISS. Thank you Mariana for an amazing, relaxing prenatal massage - I especially loved that she had me sidelying with a body pillow and head pillow (and a light towel over my eyes), versus most places have you face down on a donut…
Annie is amazing in every way. The entire staff is great. Highly recommend Hand and Stone.
Elvia did a great massage on me. Her technique is so enjoyable !
Incredible experience with McKenna! Perfect pressure, soothing atmosphere, and targeted relief for my sore shoulders. One of the best massages I’ve had in San Marcos. Will definitely be back!
I had the most relaxing massage with Marianna. She was attentive and listened to my needs as far as applying pressure. She is very sweet and friendly.
Cassandra was so sensitive to all my specific needs where I needed her to be more firm and where to be gentle. I really appreciated her personal variations for my need.
Enjoyed a really relaxing massage. Will be back.
The message therapist’s professional approach was sensitive and very helpful to reducing my body’s aches and sore areas. He is terrific at his profession.
I always feel satisfied after a body or facial service from Hand & Stone . The staff is very professional and friendly. I would recommend to get a membership plan as it’s all worth it.
The best deep tissue massage I have ever had! Sarita Rawi was amazing!!! I recommend her to anyone looking for a great massage catered to their individual needs.
Alexis was awesome!
Mariana was my masseuse and she was amazing she listening to what my goal was and achieved it. I would definitely book with her again Nadine did my facial and omg her personality was amazing made me feel super confident walking out
Trevor and Jeremiah are incredible massage therapists and Eva and Chloe gives incredible facials. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly. We love the membership since it prompts us to do a little self care. Highly recommend Hand & Stone
Alefa - is outstanding. She asked if I had any areas of concern and perfectly addressed them. Her professionalism and massage were a 10+
Jeremiah was the best masseuse I’ve ever had! He was able to find all the problem areas without me saying anything. I signed up for monthly treatments and definitely recommend him if you have bad knots.
Annie is phenomenal. Pleasant and professional.
Sarita was the best. She gave the best deep tissue massage I have ever had!!! I will definitely be back. The hot stones were a great bonus to her massage. She is super kind and I feel super relaxed.
Alefa was great! I came in angry at my husband because I was so sore and left chipper she was confident in her skill and put me at ease.
Hand & Stone is relaxing; many options of providers, some late hours. I appreciate the membership & monthly credits to use when I can.
Stephanie did an amazing job! She listened to my needs. I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and with better flexibility. Definitely recommend going to Stephanie for all your needs.
I’m a regular at Hand and Stone in San Marcos. The membership is well worth the services. I had a massage with Trevor today and he is always great! I always leave relaxed and looking forward to my next appointment. I also see the esthetician Nadine for a facial and microdermabrasion as often as possible. Self care…
Visited Hand & Stone today for the first time. Had a super relaxing massage. Mariana was great and attentive. Would recommend!
Mariana was amazing! It was one of the best massages I have ever had and will be requesting her every time I go.
Appointment process was very simple online. I wish there were more in depth bios on the therapists. I was so happy to be paired with Stacy. She was so personable and polite. She tailored the massage perfectly to my requests and worked miracles. I highly recommend her!
My sciatica basically flared up so bad I can barely walk. Mariana is new and she worked on me. She did a good job and she is very strong. Thank you.
Erin is extremely good, knowledgeable and attentive. Very experienced and thorough. I will be back and will request Erin!
This may have been the best massage I’ve ever received! I got a deep tissue massage and was very satisfied with the pressure and the technique. This was an exceptional experience.
Hand and Stone is the best. Chloe is a fabulous esthetician and I love getting a facial with her. She is so knowledgeable about skin and I always feel great afterward. If you want a fantastic massage, I just had the best one from Mariana. My neck and shoulders are my usual concern and I left there with no tightness…
Caring, strong hands, good advise
I've been to Hand and Stone quite a few times and have never been disappointed. Today I had Elvia, she was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.
I have been seeing Michael for several years now and couldn’t be happier. His years of experience, both as an instructor and a therapist result in an exceptional experience for the client.
Amazing massage. I feel great! Thank you Alexis.
We were very happy with the skill and attention to detail during my husband’s massage appointment with Pritti. She is very knowledgeable, especially regarding specialized techniques for medical massage. My husband had severe eye pain from long hours working as an accountant. He was relieved that Pritti was able to…
