Experience the Best Deep Tissue Massage in Redding, Northern California | Gild Massage Therapy

Years ago I had the most incredible massage experience of my life, and today I am here to tell you about it!

Hi! I’m Brittany, owner of Gild, and I want to personally invite you to discover our deep tissue massage services here in Redding, Northern California.

We have practitioners that are here to help you find relief. Our deep tissue massage is a game-changer for those who work long hours, spend hours bent over or sitting at a desk, or are active athletes dealing with soreness.

What makes our deep tissue massage so special?

Okay this is the part of the story I couldn’t wait to get to!!

So, I first met on of our talented massage specialist during a production event backstage. She was working on recording artists, offering her expert hands and a calming touch. When she offered me a massage in that busy environment, after I did several artists makeup back to back, I said yes! My neck was as locked up as a jail cell and I had limited mobility. After a few moments of her laying hands on my neck, I realized something truly remarkable — her ability to target and release deep knots and tight muscles with just her thumbs that had pressure like that of a semi truck! Seriously, she’s so gifted that her colleagues jokingly call her “Thumbs like Thanos,” because of her incredible talent to relieve immense pressure with her thumbs alone! Within minutes my knots were loosened, my mobility was back, and I was ready to keep rocking out makeup artistry backstage feeling feather light.

The amazing thing about Rachel is that her signature approach, (which includes myofascial release techniques), allows her to address even the most intense tension and pain. She’s passionate about helping her clients relax, recover, and feel better—whether you’re coming to us because you’re in perpetual pain, an athlete needing recovery, or someone whose job causes recurring muscle stress.

The Difference Between Hard and Soft Wax for Eyebrow Waxing at Gild Beauty Bar

Discover the Difference Between Hard and Soft Wax for Your Eyebrow Waxing at Gild Beauty Bar

At Gild Beauty Bar, in our sweet little a-framed building in downtown Redding California, you can find us dreaming of one thing all the time…WAX! We hold the position of being pioneers of the eyebrow waxing movement in our community very dear to us, and strive everyday to make sure we live up to that title. We believe every client deserves beautifully shaped, flawless eyebrows, and choosing the right wax is key to achieving those perfect arches. That’s why we use only the highest quality waxes — tailored to your skin type and hair texture.

Hard Wax vs. Soft Wax – What’s the Difference?

You might wonder, what’s the difference between hard and soft wax? Hard wax, also known as stripless wax, is formulated to adhere only to hair and not the skin. It’s ideal for sensitive areas like the eyebrows and the face because it minimizes irritation and provides a more precise, gentle removal. It’s perfect for clients with delicate skin or for those who want a gentler experience.

Soft wax, on the other hand, is a more traditional, strip wax that’s applied thinly and removed with cloth strips. This type of wax also works well for larger areas with coarser hair, like legs or arms, but can also be used for eyebrows if carefully applied and removed by our trained professionals.

Our expert team at Gild Beauty Bar evaluates each client’s skin and hair type before choosing the best wax — whether that’s hard or soft — ensuring a comfortable, effective, and sanitary hair removal process. 

Why Waxing is the Best Choice for Eyebrows

Waxing is the preferred method for eyebrow shaping because it provides a quick, precise, and long-lasting result. Unlike threading, waxing is more sanitary because we use disposable spatulas and strips for each client, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Plus, waxing pulls multiple hairs at once, enabling us to shape your brows effortlessly and maintain a clean, well-defined look.

Pioneering the Brow Waxing Movement in Redding

Gild Beauty Bar has been at the forefront of the eyebrow waxing movement in Redding and Northern California. We’re passionate about helping our clients achieve their perfect brow shape with consistency, care, and the highest hygiene standards. Whether you’re getting your brows shaped for a special event or just want a maintenance routine, we’re here to deliver expert results.

Our Skincare Experts also use PCA Skin for Lasting Results

In addition to GlyMed, we also incorporate PCA Skin products and treatments into our skincare routines. PCA Skin is well-known for its innovative formulas that target signs of aging, deep hydration, and skin renewal—all crucial factors for maintaining a youthful appearance.

PCA’s professional-grade peels help:

- Increase collagen and elastin production
