Rain Wellness Spa

A bit pricey and my massage therapist did only one stroke the entire time. Cannot recommend.

Love love love. Always been my fave spa. I don't go as often since moving further away, but they need more places like this in CT!

I had a massage with Kim for the first time and I think I've found the person I want to continue getting massages with. I did a 90 minute Montowese Rain massage and it was the right decision. The oils smelled wonderful and the sage smudging was super nice. I never felt rushed and in fact even fell asleep for a few minutes which I can say has not happened to me before in a massage. Thank you Kim and Rain!

Omg, I booked a Rain signature facial with Yana for my 40th birthday and it was AMAZING! She took her time, and the ambiance of the room was perfect! Very relaxing, and the pricing is so so reasonable! Can't wait to go back!

I would have loved to give this place a five! This was my second visit. The first time I went the front desk staff were not very nice but the service was amazing so I said let me come back a second time. I arrived and provided my name, the reception desk began to laugh, they claimed that they weren't laughing at me. They checked me in and then I stood around awkwardly, being this was my second time I knew they had a relaxation area where I could wait, but didn't know if I can go ahead.

So I asked, they said sure why not. I then sat there for a long time. My esthetician was prepping the room. When I entered the robe was damp, the sheets were damp, they just washed everything and she apologized I just removed the robe and then asked for the warmer to be on in which it felt like a sauna it was too hot. I asked her to turn it off. I went to check out the esthetician seemed rushed, the front desk staff just asked for my card and then continue to talk amongst themselves they checked me out, gave me my card and then they were complaining about a customer who called over the phone attempting to make an appointment.

They were very rude. Quite sad to have to write this because the facial felt okay if it wasn't for the sheets, robe and sauna bed. On to find another place for my facials.

Great service. Very attentive staff over all. Great massage staff. Amazing facial services. Put me to sleep. I woke up so refreshed. And my pores of my skin looked so much tighter.

Don't waste your money. Went to "salt cave" its just a dumb room not a cave. Couldn't even taste salt. Was supposed to be 45 min they shut it off in 36 and were very snoty. Yuk i won't be back not worth the money at all!

I went to the spa for a facial. I decided to get the Intraceuticals facial by Alissa. She brought me into the room and got me all set up. Made sure I was comfortable before we got started. As she started each process she explained what she was doing and the sensation I would feel. She also explained what the benefits were to each phase. It was so relaxing.

My face felt so good after. That was December 29th. My face still feels smooth and hydrated. Alissa also told me about some moisturizers that I could use and gave me some samples to try. I also bought some cleanser she recommended which I love. Alissa is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend getting in to see her. Thank you Alissa.

This was my first professional massage in about a decade. I booked with whoever was available due to the need for quick availability because I was experiencing shoulder pain. Mary was an absolute joy- I plan to go back to her ASAP. She was very informative, considerate, and cooperative. She asked me what areas to focus on and what was in pain/uncomfortable, asked me about past injuries, then targeted the pain.

She gave me SO many helpful tips that I will begin to practice and explained to me on a deeper level of what was happening to my body and why. Her energy was so positive and comforting - I cannot thank her enough! Also, the massage was amazing and I was incredibly relaxed.

This was my first time at Rain and I already regret not finding them sooner! I got a Swedish full body massage and I swear I have never felt better. Susan was wonderful and very warm and professional, she made me feel super comfortable with the process and comfortable throughout. She spent an appropriate amount of time on each area and paid extra attention to my lower back, which is a problem area.

The place itself is beautiful and the rooms are dimly lit with soft music/sounds which adds to the relaxation! Their prices cannot be beat and the quality of the work reflects that. Definitely will be going back and am so happy I discovered this place!

I have been to Rain several times for services. Their new Intraceuticals facial is nothing short of amazing. You'll walk out of there seeing results like you've never seen before! Alissa is an incredible Esthetician and is simply the best. I can't wait to go back.

Did a great spa day with my niece here. Theresa gave me one of the best deep tissue massages I've had in a long time. Heidi did my Fire and Ice facial, my skin has been glowing for days. My niece really liked her services too. Her "teenage skin" looked great after a couple days of healing from extractions, a good cleansing of her pores was needed and set her up for clearer skin days. Would for sure visit again! Had a wonderful time.

Visited the salt cave for my birthday today and it was really cool! Very relaxing and a new and different experience.amazing customer service and the spa was clean and spacious leading up the salt cave. Will definitely return in the near future! Thanks again, Rain!

This place is amazing IF you want to get tickled for an hr. No REAL massaging skills, WAY too much lotion, people were nice bout it! There was a racist worker outside that was VERY rude! They were nice enough to take off the salt room, BUT won't be coming back here at ALL. Never ever!

Really enjoyed my time here. The whole staff was very kind. Started in the salt cave which was very relaxing, then a pregnancy massage. They have a pillow with the stomach part cut out so you can lay on your stomach comfortably, and the massage therapist was great. Very professional, probably the best massage I've ever had. Look forward to going back and trying some of the other services they offer.

I have been to Rain for the Salt Cave, which I absolutely love! You will be relaxed and breathing easy.

I've only been here for the sunless tanning, but I've always had a great experience. Today the ladies watched my 3mo old son while I had my service done because my babysitter cancelled at the last minute. Super helpful and kind! Definitely recommend.

Probably the worst facial I have ever had (and I've had a few). Esthetician didn't introduce herself, was 25mins late, and didn't perform aspects of the facial that was advertised on the site. I usually get a partial massage with a mask on but instead spent a good 20 mins waiting for nothing to happen. This is a real shame as I have been here a few times before but will not return after this. I'd get better service at a chain like massage envy.

I've been here before, I've had Liz in the past who apparently is no longer there which was a big disappointment b/c the quality of the massage is why I went back. Although my massage therapist was very nice, I felt like she was just rubbing me, no real technique. Things seemed very different since my last visit. I'll try to explain.

In terms of ambiance. Decent. Nothing special. Noticeable issues. there is one very small bathroom to change in. The lockers are falling apart and very small. When I tried to fit my clothes, coat, sneakers and purse in the locker- it pushed the back wall out. I also had trouble locking and unlocking the lockers. Onto the "relaxation room". there was water for tea that I had to heat myself, no sugar or cream available. Lights were out here and there. then some employees came in to try to fix a light bulb while I was trying to relax. Really?

You couldn't have done that before opening? There were plenty of clients (I'm assuming) in street clothes. walking in and out of the door located right next to the "relaxation room"- it was pretty noisy, there were even kids in the waiting room. So on the plus side. Everyone who worked there was incredibly friendly but this just isn't the spa for me. If anyone knows where Liz went- please message me.

I have been here twice for a facial and it's amazing! I got rain facial both of the times and by the end of appointment my skin was GLOWING. Will definitely be coming back.

Amazing experience! The staff here are so nice and sweet! Their salt cave experience and massages are unbelievable. Very relaxing quaint little spot, definitely will be returning:!

Love Rain in every way. It's so inviting and relaxing. Evelyn is amazing. And the entire staff take good care of its clients. I Love Rain

What a great day. I 1st went to the salt cave it was so relaxing. Then went for a facial that was fantastic. I could not believe I was there for almost 3 hours it felt like one. Great job Rain I will be back.

I love this spa! Best one in Branford. I've gotten facials, massages and pedicures here and I'm never disappointed! I gave 4 starts for two reasons, one of the reasons being the massage and facial room off of the nail room isn't a good idea. You can hear all outside noise from guests talking to people walking by. it takes away from the whole relaxing in peace and quiet aspect.

My second reason being last time during my pedicure appt one of the workers came from outside the waxing room and waved two dollars at the girl doing my pedicure and goes "two dollars! That's all she gave me! I have to have your damn cooch smell in my face and all you give me is $2!" I'm almost positive her guest heard her. because the guest walked back into the room and told the worker "I had to go get change I'd never give you a $2 tip" Although the comment wasnt directed at me, I found it extremely unprofessional and kind of uncomfortable as a guest to sit there and hear this comment. I work in the same field so I understand why she was upset with the tip amount, but it still wasn't ok. I love rain wellness spa, and I highly recommend to everyone.

I have been going to Rain Spa for facials the last two years. I HIGHLY recommend the Esthetician, who's name is Xiomara. She totally is gifted and loves what she does for a living. The Spa itself has a lovely waiting room, serving tea with soft music and the sound of water that allows one to totally let go of any stress. Along with the facial she gives a foot rub.

In all honesty, when I leave I feel more confident. I get the Organic Rain facial. I lived in Los Angeles and Ojai California and have tried many Spa's and I would put Xiomara as the best. Congratulations! She found her calling.

This place never disappoints. I love Xiomara. I only go every six months or so but when I do go I request a healing waters facial with Xiomara. She always does a great job and I can see and feel the difference in my skin. The healing waters is a little more expensive than others but includes so much in the price. What they offer as add ons are included in this facial ie: a lip treatment. I won't go anywhere else for my facial.

This spa is really nice. I love the location and the people are really nice that work here. Downside is I had a facial in the room near the nail area and all I could hear was the women getting pedicures laughing and chatting. I was annoyed. I had come here to relax and I just couldn't. The esthetician was clearing out blackheads and went on the upper nose near my eye area and apparently didn't clear it enough or should have left it alone.

I had 4-5 days of a huge mass of little whiteheads that were stuck under my skin and a swollen eye for just as long. I looked like I got a lip injection under my eye! It was ridiculous and painful as heck! The day after my facial my face felt bruised everywhere she was squeezing to clear my skin. I've never had my skin feel bruised like that after a facial. I'm sure everyone else has had great experiences here, but I had to be honest.

Lovely place. So far I've gone to Kelly for massage and she's terrific and Laura for mani, pedi and facial and she's also terrific. My new fave place to be pampered.
