Five Elements Salon and Day Spa

My husband and I were visiting the area and scheduled a couple’s massage for a little bit of down time. It was a great experience. Jessica and Makayla were very skilled and we both left feeling quite relaxed and much less knotted in our lower backs!

On October 10, 2015 I was the Maid of Honor in my best friend’s wedding at the Mountain Top Inn in Chittenden, VT. On October 8^th the bride and I went to Five Elements Salon and Day Spa in Rutland, VT for the bride’s updo hair trial. Tracy was really fantastic. Not only was she talented and friendly, but she walked the bride and I through every step that she was doing while creating the updo. She paused for our opinions, but also explained why she was structuring the updo accordingly. This enabled the bride to get the exact look she was going for, and we got to see it with a variety of different modifications. On the day of the wedding Tracy came to our bridesmaids’ house at the Mountain Top Inn with three other hairstylists: Kaylie, Kylie and Amanda. With 12 bridesmaids, the bride, the flower girl, mother of the bride, mother of the groom and grandma, there was a lot of work and not a lot of time. The stylists were efficient and did great work. All the ladies were happy with their updos. Additionally, I noticed that 10+ hours later our updos were still intact– despite a variety of different hair lengths and textures. Tracy checked in with all of us at to make sure we were happy with our hair and see if we needed any last minute fixes. I was very impressed with the beautiful, efficient and smooth work that all 4 stylists did. I would recommend the salon and any of these stylists to anyone getting married in the area! Thank you especially to Tracy, who went out of her way to make sure that all of us, most importantly the bride, felt beautiful and confident on the big day!

I was up from NJ and made a last minute appt for a hair cut and asked for an experienced hair dresser. Not sure what level I got but let me tell you it was one of the best haircuts one had in years. The young girl who cut! Hair really knew what she was doing and was just about the sweetest thing. Very personable and interesting. Not sure of her name, maybe Alyssa? But she’s blonde with a beautiful full sleeve tat. I definitely would go again.

Had a gift certificate to use here and it was my first day spa experience. I made an appointment for a «Stress Fix» treatment and a hair cut. Reception could’ve been friendlier, but wasn’t terribly offensive. My biggest complaint with the reception waiting area was the lack of tissues!!! I had a pretty runny nose and there weren’t tissues anywhere. After I paid and right before I left I asked if there were tissues available and she had them behind the desk… then made the comment that she heard me sniffing when I was waiting earlier… thanks for offering me a tissue!!! Ugh.
At any rate, my massage treatment was wonderful. Unfortunately, I don’t remember my therapists name, but she was very sweet and accommodating to my sniffles, haha. The room was very clean and comfortable. I would love to have a future visit with this particular employee.
My haircut was OK. She did what I asked, but I didn’t ask for anything complicated. She was friendly at first, but seemed to become irritated? I don’t talk during hair cuts, but will be polite, a few of her remarks after mine really put me off. Additionally, I left with hair all over my face from when she cut my bangs. I knew it was there but between her and the receptionist neither bothered to tell me the AMOUNT on my face, took about 5 mins in my car to get it all off. I wouldn’t return to her for hair service in the future.
The massage service deserves 5 stars, but the over all experience was lacking. In addition to the lack of tissues in the waiting area, it didn’t feel very «spa like». The hair salon is right there so it was bustling with hair dyes and chatter, not very relaxing. I would appreciate another gift certificate from here, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to spend my own money here.

You must get a facial with Melissa at 5 elements! She is very knowledgeable about all skin types and she gives wonderful arm and foot massage as well As well!
And the Carribean body treatment with Robin was so spectacular! She took care to pay attention to my needs because of fibromyalgia.
Last, but most definitely worth it was heAther. I was really weary about the haircut part. Since my hair is naturally wavy, I have had some terrible short haircuts in the past. Heather is so experienced and has curly hair herself, so she was able to «feel» my hair and give me such a wonderful haircut!
The whole five elements experience was FABULOUS !!!

I’ve come here many times. Typically it’s for a massage. I’ve been worked on by two different women there. I wish I could remember their names because they were both fantastic! They took care of the knots in my lower back and shoulder. I always feel so flexible and relaxed after I’m done there.
I’ve only gotten my hair done at this location once but, when I did, it was fantastic. I wanted to get my hair to go from dark brown to a vibrant red. I was very nervous about such a big change especially after a previous negative experience at a different salon. The girl was able to figure out EXACTLY what I wanted and it looks perfect! She really listened to all of my concerns and explained everything in a clear fashion.

Went for a bikini wax and was VERY disappointed. Job was poorly done. I wasn’t asked what I wanted, just told to get on the table. Now I’m stuck with a ridiculous «design» at the height of bathing suit weather! Wish I hadn’t gone.

Fantastic spa and fantastic experience. I had come off a very long plane trip and my back and shoulders had really seized up. No matter how many stretches and exercising I did, I was just frozen. My sister made an appointment for me here, and it was just what I needed.
The salon is very pretty and relaxing inside. I was greeted warmly and immediately brought a glass of lemon/​cucumber water, which was refreshing on a hot and muggy day. My masseuse was a magician. She listened to my woes and my the time I was done 50 minutes later I was reborn! I could move again!
I only wish I lived closer so I could schedule a monthly visit!
Go here!

I had a deep tissue massage here a couple of weeks ago – what a great spot! My husband and I were staying in Killington for the weekend, and this is just a short 15-​minute drive from the mountain. Very easy to find, and the staff is incredibly welcoming when you first arrive. Within 5 minutes I had a hot, fresh cup of coffee and was comfortably waiting for my appointment.
The massage itself was phenomenal, but unfortunately I don’t remember the therapist’s name. She relied on a perfect blend of pressure point massage as well as more traditional techniques, and I found myself dozing by the end.
The only reason I’m withholding a star is because my massage room was right next to the parking lot, and some automobile noise was audible and distracting at times. Other than that, this place was a gem. I’d definitely go back!

Five Elements was comfortable, friendly, luxurious and relaxing.

Had an AMAZING massage with Robin, enjoyed the experience so much, I booked a facial the next day with Heidi. I love this spa and wish I lived in the area to come here every week! I’ve been to a lot of spas (live and work in Manhattan) but this place has great energy and awesome people. Very happy with my experience. Oh and the Aveda affiliation is great, bought the entire Enbrighten line :)
