Please arrive as close as possible to your scheduled appointment time. We allocate an appropriate amount of time for each type of treatment so there's no need to arrive early.

If you must cancel your appointment, we appreciate at least 24 hours notice. If an individual does not show up for a scheduled appointment for a single treatment, we will charge their credit card for 50% of the treatment price. If the appointment is for multiple treatments, we will charge their credit card for the full value of their treatments.

Some people may be a bit apprehensive if they've never received a massage before. Please click here to learn what you may expect from a massage.

We want you to be, above all, comfortable here at Nine Stones. It is helpful, but not necessary to remove all of your clothing for a massage. You may keep on whatever clothing you wish.

That depends on your situation. Please discuss your particular condition with your healthcare provider and with us before you make your appointment to ensure that you will get the maximum benefit from your visit. Click here for a list of possible contraindications for massage.

One of the most important things you can do is to drink plenty of water after your treatments. Most of our treatments are detoxifying, and water helps to flush the toxins out of your system.

Tipping at Nine Stones is completely discretionary and not at all required. If, however, you'd like to thank your therapist for her efforts, a gratuity will be gratefully accepted.

We are located at 250 Commercial Street at the corner of Union Wharf and Commercial (across the street from 3-Dollar Dewey's). Please click here for directions and a map.

Groups and special occasions are a specialty at Nine Stones. Because we want to give you the best service possible, please let us know well in advance of your plans. We will work with you to ensure that your group experience will be one to remember. Click here for more information.

We proudly carry Dr.Hauschka, Naturopathica, G.M. Collin and SkinCeuticals and many other fine products. Each line of products that we carry has specific benefits and uses. Please call or visit us to discuss which of these fine product groups will be best for you.

Gift certificates are a perfect way to thank a special person or just to say “I love you”. They are available in any dollar amount or for specific treatments or spa packages. Click here to learn more about gift certificates. Click here to see some of our most popular packages .

No, Nine Stones' gift certificates never expire.

Please call us. We maintain a record of all of our gift certificate sales and can probably find your records.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cash, traveler's checks and personal checks with proper identification. Sorry, but we cannot accept Discover cards.

It helps us to ensure that you receive the best treatment. Because some bodywork therapies are contraindicated for certain medical conditions, it will help us avoid making your condition worse rather than better.

Of course. We encourage you to talk with your therapist/aesthetician about any concerns you may have in a private environment so that she can modify your treatment to give you the maximum benefits.

We do not offer any services such as haircutting or coloring that are usually offered in full service salons. We concentrate on treatments that help you look and feel your best. And at Nine Stones, we pride ourselves on maintaining an environment that is both tranquil and appealing. We want you to feel at home here.
