Herb & Gem Spa sits on the second floor of a building on S 11th St in South Philadelphia, running four core treatments built around massage, facial work and reflexology. The spa is open to walk-ins and day-pass visitors, and welcomes families and couples rather than restricting access by age or hotel stay.
Treatments lean on herbal and aromatic touches: a herbal foot bath runs through several services, and the signature offering is a Hot Stone massage with an organic aroma oil add-on. Packages bundle these elements together — the "Head to toe" package pairs a 60-minute Hot Stone massage with a 30-minute aroma scalp massage and a 60-minute reflexology session with foot bath and scrub, priced at $210. The "Serenity is Here" package stretches to 165 minutes, combining a ProSkin 60 facial with red light therapy, Hot Stone massage, and reflexology for $260. A lower-cost "Calm Me Nature" option runs 90 minutes for $125, and a "3 Gem Passes" bundle offers three one-hour visits (choice of facial, Hot Stone, deep tissue, reflexology or cupping) for $210.
There's no clothing-optional policy here, no gender-specific scheduling, and service is conducted in English. Hours shift across the week: shorter 10am–8pm days Monday through Thursday, and longer 9am–9pm (listed to 10pm on site) stretches Friday through Sunday. The spa falls into the upscale price tier, consistent with its package pricing and focus on personalized, multi-step sessions rather than quick single treatments.
