I loved my massage with Red! She was quite skilled and used some massage techniques on my neck that were new to me, and very effective! She found all the knots and worked the tissue in a way that was the least painful way of relaxing the muscles I've experienced in a massage! It was pretty fantastic to walk away feeling just a tad bit taller and able to move more freely. I would certainly make another appointment here if I were to return to Asheville! read more

Nicole was absolutely WONDERFUL! Had her on June 24 when my husband and I and another couple traveled to NC via motorcycles and her full body massage was very much needed. THANK YOU for being able to hold a conversation, connect with your client, make it SO ENJOYABLE as she has the gift of connecting with others. Best part of our weekend. Thank you so much and if we're back in the area, I'm requesting her again! read more

Our yrly trip to Asheville never disappoints! I always find great spa ideas on Groupon during the winter mths. I spent approx. 1.5hrs in at this cozy easy to find spa, located downtown. I had a little time to explore and eat lunch which was a plus, normally Im running around taking pics. Parking was free with Groupon up to 3hrs, if you go over parking was $2.00 ph across the street from spa. Read groupon they give great directions, follow them. Upon entering the hostess was kind, she had us fill out a form that is standard with all spa services. We waited for 10 minutes before being taken back to changing rooms. They offered us drinks & tasty popcorn which I highly recommend you try! The Spa & dressing rooms were clean and comfy. I recommend you try this spa, we had a nice relaxing time. Very peaceful and calming. The ladies did a fab job and were accommodating at all times. Hands down one of my best experiences in Asheville. read more

Visiting from Miami. Excellent massage by Jessa Devendorf (a former US Navy Electronics Tech). The Spa is very relaxing as soon as you step in. Friendly front desk welcome. read more

Sadly, I did not have a positive experience with Spa Theology. My massage therapist was a no show. I walked in on a Saturday to inquire about availability for a massage. They told me they were booked, but they could get me in on Sunday. I scheduled an appointment for 10:00 am on Sunday with "one of their best" massage therapists. I arrived at 9:50, like the receptionist told me to, and I was ushered to the waiting area on the back. There were other people waiting, and at 10:00 their therapists came to collect them for their appointments, however my therapist didn't come to get me. I waited 10 minutes & then went to ask if he was delayed. The receptionist checked and found out that he had overslept. She apologized profusely and told me he was on his way and would arrive in 10 minutes, and she assured me that he "was really good and worth the wait." I waited until 10:30 and then left. read more

My mom, sister, and I went for a spa day and Spa Theology did not disappoint! My sister and I received facials from Stephanie, and both of us agreed that it was the best facial we've had probably ever! We also did a 30 minute foot soak, which was not expensive and a great add-on service. My mom received a 90 minute massage from Brett, and she said it was fantastic. This place is certainly a hidden gem in Asheville and tucked next to some great shops and restaurants... perfect for a fun girls (or guys) day! read more

My husband and I are traveling and have been doing some hiking among other outdoor activities in the Blue Ridge Mountains while staying in Asheville. Needless to say a massage was in order. I got THE MOST magical prenatal massage from Brett. When I say magical I mean I had an out of body experience while he gently worked on all my aches and pains. Perfect pressure! I can not recommend this spa more. It's immediately inviting, the ambiance is serene, smells wonderful and very clean. My only regret is not coming in a couple days earlier, as I would have come at least one more time before we head back home. Do not walk, RUN to SpaTheology Asheville! You will not be disappointed. read more

Spa Theology - Reception - Day Spas Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Spa Theology never disappoints! The staff is always friendly, the services are always excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. I had Nicole for my most recent therapeutic massage, and it was honestly one of the best massages I've ever gotten. I arrived with some crazy knots in my back, and she did a wonderful job tackling them. If you visit Asheville, skip the hotel spas and head to this local spot! read more

The ambiance was beautiful. I was very relaxed and the staff was impeccable. The price is pretty up there but it's worth it for the services. read more

This was the highlight of our visit to Asheville. We booked a 90 minute massage for my wife and I. What a lovely spot - let me give a few comments - Pre- check in - all online and very easy. Forms are simple. I would call early as this place is popular gets pretty booked. While it was booked, it was not crowded or busy feeling - Upon entry - very serene, very nice, we were greeted so nicely. Staff is super kind - Massages - I hate I can't remember the names (my masseuse was blonde with a lot of cool tattoos) and my wife had a younger man who was her massage therapist. The room was nice and well appointed. They did start about 5 minutes past our massage time, but no worries there, that seems pretty normal. The pressure was great, the technique was super. It was really professional, done with care and the results were great. - Check out - easy and nice. I would recommend this place highly - they don't really need the business as they are very popular, but so many like us are from out of town and you don't know.....but this place is great - I would go back in a heartbeat. Well done to all at Spa Theology! read more

Don't waste your money on an add-on!! I scheduled a 60 minute therapeutic massage with a body detox add-on. When I went to pick a time, it said an hour and 15 minutes, so one would expect the add on to be an extra 15 minutes. Nope. My massage and dry brushing experience ended at an hour. When I asked the front desk about it, she said it's only for an hour. What the heck was the point of me spending an extra $30?!?! Had I known that, I never would have done the add-on since it cut into my massage time. Makes absolutely no sense. Ruined what was a good massage so that's why I couldn't give it more than 2 stars. Treated myself to some much needed relaxation but now I'm just mad. read more

The solution for world peace is massages and bathrobes. I had an epiphany at Spa Theology that all of the world's problems could be solved if we all took more time to relax, reduce the stress in our bodies, and celebrate oversized robes that embrace you like a baby in a blanket. My wife and I had a long and stressful couple weeks and decided to treat ourselves to a fairly spontaneous couples massage. We called up the evening before and they were happy to squeeze us in! We were greeted warmly at the reception desk and shown the back area. I was given a 10xl bathrobe to lounge in while we waited for our service providers, and I have to say that I'm having a tough time thinking of anything better than a 10xl bathrobe. It's like a vacation, you can wear. Our service proviers, Becki and Misti were so courteous and gracious. They asked if there were any particular areas we needed to have focus on, or what we preferred in a massage. I store a lot of stress in my neck and brow, and mentioned that I'd like a focus there. Our massages began and we were off to the races... the race to relaxation... and eventually sleep. I was super pleased with the amount of pressure. Becki was definitely working my problems out... on that perfect threshold.. firm.. strong... but not painful. I was thrilled to take time to visit this spa with my wife, and I look forward to making it back, if for nothing else, just to lounge in their waiting area in one of those massive robes once again. read more

I've been to this place several times before but this time, this time they are now telling me they expect a 20% gratuity both at the time of booking and at the time of point of sale. That is not the point of tipping. I almost always tip at least 20%. But to take away the option of it and make it a requirement? I'm not going back. read more

So you've heard the old saying I need a vacation from my vacation? Well I'm going down to the Caribbean for memorial day holiday and after sleeping on our relatively Steph Airbnb bed - which by the way have an awesome view of the beach - and the long flight back to North Carolina my left shoulder was not feeling up to snuff. This is where is Spa Theology comes in in the first place that came to mind about relieving the sore and tight area in my back. It had been a while since I've patronize this establishment and lucky for me today they had a sign on the street saying 25% off for walk in appointments.... I mean who could pass that up?!?!? I made my appointment for early afternoon and came in for an hour massage with Denise. The space is very calming well appointed great Decour and the type of spa vibe that I think most people expect and for which you will definitely receive at this location. Denise did an awesome job working my back to a normal state as well as help answer a few questions at the very end that I had after the massage. I highly recommend Denise if you're looking to get a massage in the near future. If you haven't been to Spa Theology yet......GO, you wish you done it sooner!!!!!! read more

For my daughter's birthday we gave her a day at the spa. She was so excited to have her treatments. She left crying...the individual that took care of her made her feel ugly...isn't this supposed to have the opposite effect. Stop trying to up sell the manager needs to coach her employees with a better approach. Horrible!!!! read more

When we come to Ashville. We always stop in here. Its consistently great. The service is outstanding and attention to all of our requests. Great job Daniel! North Carolina needs to allow CBD oil for massage therapy! read more

Really enjoyed my massage here. The spa is beautiful and very clean. Tea and citrus water were available and they had full bathrooms with showers if you wanted that option. Staff is super friendly and my masseuse Nicole was great- very attentive, understood my needs and made me feel very comfortable. Best foot massage I've ever had! I opted for a 60 minute massage and added the warm oil scalp massage- it was super relaxing but felt very short-lived for the additional $25. Overall, highly recommend! Might even make it a monthly visit. read more

Having never had a pedicure, my wife bought me a gift certificate to spa*theology for Christmas this year --which I partook of this afternoon. I am smitten, Isabella was my nail tech and she was thorough, demure and quite skillful!! I would recommend this to anyone who ever had issues with their feet. Or not! read more

Spa Theology had been my go to place for a massage while visiting in Asheville. But after having an appointment I scheduled a month and a half prior canceled a few days before the appointment, it isn't a place I'd return. It appears they overbooked and I was offered 25% a future appointment. Who knows if another appointment would be canceled last minute too. read more

Booked a couples massage and did an upgrade for the foot treatment. Great space - nicely designed, very serene. We thoroughly enjoyed our massages. Therapists were great to ask if pressure was appropriate level. I would absolutely go back here when visiting Asheville again. read more

I have been coming to Spa Theology since before the Covid Pandemic in early 2020. I wanted to up my facial regiment for my upcoming wedding. I love coming here. Laila is the only person I trust with my face now. I also highly recommend their Hydra Facials. Laila pays extra attention to what your face needs and nails it every time. She's also become a friend and therapist during our sessions. I can credit my flawless skin on my wedding day to Laila and Spa Theology. Now that my wedding has passed I am keeping up my regiment by visiting Laila monthly. It's something I look forward to every single month. THANK YOU! read more

Me and my girlfriend stopped by this afternoon to get a massage and it was hands down one of the best we've ever experienced. Preston was very professional and his attention to detail and precision was on point. He found Knots that i didnt even know i had. What i liked about this place apart from others is that he knew how to target points of discomfort and get those tight muscles to loosen up. Will definitely be coming back . Thank You! read more

I'm from out of state and since the husband was having a golf day with his Dad, my mother-in-law and I decided to get a massage. I found this place on the explore Asheville website and since it has good reviews, decided to give it a try. Our experience was fantastic! The lobby is clean and organized, the sitting room is calm and relaxing, and bonus, one of the bathrooms has a heated toilet seat (LOL)...never even realized what I've been missing out on! But anyway, the massage, Felicity did an amazing job! It felt wonderful from start to finish; she even found a muscle in my back (without me telling her) that I strained while working out and she made it feel so much better! My MIL said Danielle did amazing as well and really worked the knots she had in her back. If I ever return to Asheville, I will definitely be scheduling a massage here again read more

My family and I were on a mini vacation in Asheville, NC and we decided to start the week off with a relaxing massage. I am happy I chose Spa Theology for the ladies in my family to get pampered. It was one of the best massages we've ever had and we will definitely be back! There was a major mix up with our times but after speaking with one of the women in charge over the phone, she made up for it with a discount and complimentary services. This place has some awesome items to purchase as well, such as candles, jewelry, and skin care products just to name a few. The staff were professional, attentive and kind. The atmosphere was relaxing and clean. If you're in Asheville or nearby visiting, make an appointment, you won't regret it! read more

Spa Theology - Day Spas Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Very nice day spa. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Waiting area was peaceful and clean. Had a great massage and the best facial I've ever had. Will definitely be going back! read more

Booked massages for 6 people 20 days in advance. Had to give the girl the information over the phone 3 times because she was having issues but at the end she said it was good to go. Show up for the first appointments and they did not show anything in the system. Upon further review they had booked it for July instead of June. They blamed it on us when they were the ones that screwed up. read more

If booking a Mani and/or Pedi - ask for Caitlin!!! My wife went for a Manicure and Pedicure for her birthday and Caitlin made her day. She did an amazing job and my wife said it was the best pedicure she's ever had, and she's had many. read more

While visiting Asheville, I passed by this spa on foot. I popped in and learned that I'd be able to get a facial the same day. Returning later for my appointment, I enjoyed the seven-layer facial with Robin. She knew a lot about ingredients and her facial and upper body massage technique was wonderful. I also loved all the special touches at the spa - a cozy waiting area, bamboo sheets, fluffy robes, well appointed locker rooms, refreshments, and even a Japanese toilet seat! read more

My boyfriend and I recently visited here while on vacation for Thanksgiving to Asheville. Being an Asheville native and now living in LA I am quite particular and picky when it comes to the places we go to for spa dates and massages. As soon as you walk in the door you are invited in and welcomed with open arms. The place is so nurturing and zenful that you instantly and literally drop all your pain(if you are in any) off at the door on your way in. We had been traveling and flying a lot so we had a lot of back pain from flights. The massage therapists were knowledgeable and intuitive about the specific target areas and the muscles we needed worked on. As well as gave us tips on how to prevent pains like that in the future. Spa Theology I salute you! Thank you for being a HUGE part of our relaxing trip back to the promise land. read more

Highly recommend the hydrofacial max! And Emily was amazing!!! You won't regret it. Well worth it.

Great spa in Asheville! My sister and I visited Asheville for the first time. We tried to get into the Grove Park but weren't able (and were not thrilled by their prices or phone customer service). Highly recommend this spot. The service was great - very comfortable without being snotty. I had an excellent massage, one of the best I've ever had and I visit spas all over the world! read more

Great treatment, beautiful space. I had a wonderful facial. I have rosacea and I usually do not get facials because most esthetician will wreck my skin but I decided to take a chance. I was very glad I did, my esthetician was very knowledgeable and experienced, my skin certainly looked better than when I started and it was significantly less red. I wish I could remember her name because I totally recommend her for my fellow rosacea suffers. She was very tactfully about telling me I should to go back to the dermatologist that my 'early stage rosacea' was not so early stage anymore and that there was some new treatments I could try. I really appreciated that she was referring me for my condition rather that trying trying to sell me a bunch of products that wouldn't have helped me. The one product she did recommend seems to be working great. The skin consultation I received was very helpful. This is defiantly a day spa to go for a treatment or two rather than a place like the Grove Park where you can spend a day as they did not have a sauna or steam room or things like that. I would have given this place four stars for the amenities but my super knowledgeable and skilled esthetician pushed this into the five star category for me. read more

Amazing. one of the best massages I've ever had. My back was a disaster and my masseuse (I can't remember his name, but he was fantastic) took care of me. He really knew what he was doing. The massage was both relaxing and therapeutic. I can't remember being so relaxed. Booking was a breeze - they fit me in an hour after I called. The lounge area is lovely - cucumber water and snacks and comfy couches. Everyone was really friendly. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a spa experience in the Asheville area. read more

My boyfriend and I booked our appointment through Willow Winds, where we are staying. We didn't know that you had to book the spa appointment 3 days before, nevertheless, we were still squeezed in. My masseuse was Nathan and my boyfriend's masseuse was Amber. We added some hot stones to our massage... they were phenomenal. Everyone was so nice, polite and courteous. We were treated so well. I couldn't have asked for more, except I wish it would've have ended. The massage was AMAZING. If we ever return to Asheville, which I hope we do, I will make another appointment here. read more

The space itself is really gorgeous and well laid-out. They have all the extra amenities that make your spa visit feel special: cucumber infused water, dim lighting. Aesthetically really pleasing, and easily accessible. I got a reflexology massage, which I was more a manipulation of pressure points, rather than a massage. A lot of pressing. I was hoping for something more massage-y. The therapist was extremely kind, however, and it was obvious that she enjoys her job, along with everyone else I encountered that worked there. I would definitely return here, although not for a reflexology massage. read more

Went yesterday afternoon for a 60m Swedish Massage with Sonia, and a Classic Facial with Sara. Both estheticians were great and very good at their jobs. Sonia asked a few questions at the beginning, and was just amazing. I added a reflexology session to the massage, and was soooo happy I did. Sara took care of my sensitive skin and was great with extractions. The facial was so relaxing, I was snoring away on the table. Highly recommend this spa... read more

Thank you fellow yelpers. Went here for a girlfriend getaway. WOW. Next time, will try to spend whole day here. Love this place. Get treated so well here. Coming back when I'm back in town. read more

I know the term "half-assed", but is " 1/4 assed" something we can start using? That's the best way I can describe our $350 experience at Spa Theology. Allow me to preface by stating that I work in the spa industry and made this clear when I booked the appointments and again to my therapist before the treatments began. I would hope by me expressly saying that we get massages regularly that would be a hint for the therapist to be on her A-game, but I guess not. The lotions were cold (and on a really cold day this was very unpleasant), her touch was very unassertive incomplete, and lacked confidence of someone who knew their craft. I'm not sure if she is a new therapist, but with the price point Spa Theology sets, I would recommend they hire more experienced therapists. There is a reason why a lot of MT's start at places like Massage Envy and work their way up, you jump into a high end spa right away and you open yourself up to a clientele that expects the best. I certainly did, considering the reviews. The "body brushing" felt very sparse, as did the scalp treatment. Every time she would find a good rhythm and pressure, she would abruptly stop and move to another area. I came in with glute, hip, and back pain, and she barely acknowledged these areas. She literally used her fists to lightly knead my glutes in one spot for one minute each side. She did not even attempt to look for tension areas or trigger points anywhere on my body. Ridiculous. My least favorite part (what I was looking forward to the most due to travel and the sudden cold weather) was the "sinus clearing facial stone massage"... That didn't even TOUCH my sinuses. I also told her I was an esthetican sooooooooooooooo.... Really, dude???!! I know they teach you facial massage in school, what's up? At 20% auto gratuity on $290, that's a considerable tip that could've bought us two massages elsewhere. To think that they make that sort of tip automatically has clearly made the therapists too comfortable and not interested in giving the best service- why would you? It's guaranteed money regardless. We are on our honeymoon and did not want to spend time arguing with the desk about the charges as I've read another reviewer tried. The energy was really weird in there. We went to the Salt Spa on Hendersonville afterward and got very zen with a beautiful experience (well worth the money)- wishing we had done all of our treatments there instead. read more

My hubby got me a gift certificate here for my birthday. Kudos to them, since he did it all online and didn't have to go in to the salon to get it. I started out with a hot stone massage that was good, but what I REALLY want to commend is my facial with Debra. I've got sun damage, am now officially "middle aged" (sigh) and needed some TLC. I got my choice of scents to use (lavender, please), and got the full "Anti Aging" package. She was tuned it to make sure that my skin wasn't too sensitive to certain stages of the treatment and even made sure to point out some things that I needed a dermatologist to check out. There was some noise from the bar next store that was coming thru the walls, but I wasn't bothered by it because I was so relaxed and taken care of. She even extended the treatment by a few minutes to make sure that I had a great experience. Smart, too. She suggested that I book my next appointment to get 10% off my next visit. Of course I did. Thank you, Debra. You really took care of me. read more
