I had a wonderful 90-minute massage at Katura Day Spa on my birthday. It was thorough, and a nice blend of relaxation and deeper work where needed. I would definitely go again and recommend it to others. read more

I went to Katura Day Spa today, and even though I arrived a little stressed from traffic, the owner immediately made me feel calm and welcome. She was so kind and patient--helped me with the payment process and went out of her way to make sure I had an excellent experience. I had the microdermabrasion facial and an express back massage, and both were wonderful! I definitely could have used the full-body massage but didn't have the time this visit. I'll absolutely be back soon for the other services she recommended. So happy I found this place! read more

First time here for a facial. I was immediately greeted when I walked in, and my aesthetician Erikka saw me at my scheduled time. She explained every step of the process, made me feel extremely comfortable and recommended some products. I got the ageless beauty lifting treatment. I will surely be back and have already scheduled my next appointment! read more

I have been going to this spa for the last couple of months for a facial and I have definitely noticed a difference. My skin is glowing more and my dark spots are clearing up. I would recommend Erikka for an esthetician. It's very clean and cute on the inside of the spa. I'm a continued customer read more

I purchased a Groupon for this spa as a "test run" after a less than stellar experience with another Black owned spa. Kim, the owner gave me a great facial with microdermabrasion! There was no "hard sell" to get me to purchase products. She was very pleasant and made me feel welcomed. I will definitely be back!! read more

I enjoyed my CBD message and also my ionic foot detox. It showed a lot about what's going on inside my body!

Time well spent... For my birthday I was treated to a facial, but I'd like to consider it more of an experience. I appreciate when I walked into this establishment, it was as if time slowed down and I didn't feel rushed, for a first timer I would be very comfortable. Initial impressions as I made my way into the waiting room, was that it's intimate and tranquil. The lights are set just right, and there was soothing music in the background with a well placed sound of water flowing...it all worked together in perfect harmony. I was immediately greeted, and escorted to the back where there were several rooms for different types of treatments. The room designated for me was fairly small, but following the themes of a quiet intimate setting with great lighting. I had the pleasure of working with Kim, the owner. She made me feel very comfortable. Her knowledge of skin care treatments, and best practice for keeping my skin clean and clear was very impressive. I went with the "Men's Sport Facial", which I briefly read over and decided it was right for me. Ingrown hairs and beard wash, along with a quality exfoliation were my biggest concerns. The sports facial ended up being everything I needed, and some. The cost at the time of this review was $80.00, and for what Kim did and how it made my skin feel...it's well worth it. Finding the location won't be too hard, they are right behind the only Costco in Charlotte. But the actual spa is along a connected sector of similar looking buildings, try and get there 15min before the appointment time. The parking lot is massive, and it's completely free. Pro Tip: Do everything online. This makes the entire process seamless, you'll be able to go right in at the time of your appointment and get started. The questionnaire is lengthy, but very necessary and not intrusive. Treat ya self! read more

I've been to Katura twice now; once for my birthday massage set up by my friend and a month later I went back for dermaplanning ...I really enjoy coming here and look forward to my appointments! Kim, owner, did my massage, perfect just what I needed. In our not massage time conversations, I've learned she's very much into being as organic and natural with your body, she's also expanded her services, continuing to gain more credentials. On my second visit, she performed my dermaplanning, my first time, happy w the results! Khalia, one my first visit, did my signature facial. Very happy with that! Looking forward to working with her more! Oh and I got the ionic foot bath on my first visit as well, definitely feel like it helped remove toxins from my body, I've been fighting a skin infection. Parking isn't too tough, however, I can't see the name of the business from the street, make sure to follow your directions--when they say you've arrived, you probably have! read more

I booked an appointment for a facial, not really knowing what I needed. My skin was dull and textured. Kim quickly assessed my skin and recommended a microdermabrasion add on. The whole experience was really relaxing and I left with my skin feeling clear, moisturized, and soft. I already booked my next appointment. read more

LOVE this place. It was very important to me to find a black woman to handle my skin, and I am so glad I found this place. Kim does my facials and gives the best advice for taking care of my skin. She understands my problems! Also she is so personable and kinds. I've also gotten a massage from here and it was great. After a day of facial and massage I left feeling relaxed and cute! read more

I had one of the best spa experiences ever. The atmosphere was so relaxing. My skin glowed and felt rejuvenated. Kim was the best. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can't wait to try out the other services. read more

Going back to try the microdermabrasion. Enjoyed the Express Facial. The products smelled great and did not damage my skin or cause a breakout. read more

Kim did my facial and it was amazing. She was professional and caring as well. The business was beautifully decorated. The room that that my facial was done in was comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing. Soft music was playing, smelled great, and was dimly lit. When the facial was complete, Kim also threw in for no charge a few minutes of the red light procedure which I had inquired about. That was very nice of her and I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this establishment and looking forward to the next time I am able to return. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is completely different on the inside. read more

I discovered this spa via a Groupon deal. This was my first facial and boy did Kim set the bar. She was very friendly and attentive to my needs. She is knowledgeable and explained every product and their benefits. She offered nice conversation and recommendations for me moving forward. I could not leave without scheduling my next appointment. My skin felt so refreshed and I'm hopeful for my results. Kim was great! The GPS will take you everywhere but the spa, but it is located beside the barber school and Royal Prestige. read more

Top tier!!! I booked a Beauty from Within( Girlfriends) for a mother daughter day. The service includes Yoni steam, facials, and massages and fruit tray with Mimosa or Moscato. The staff was Covid protected so you will feel at ease. The facials were done by Khalia & I must say I was having some dry areas but she buff those out because my face has been glowing since. Then we snacked on the fruit tray & yoni steamed for about 35 mins. The massages were done by Kim she knew how to get in there and work out any kinks that were stuck. Overall really amazing experience I definitely will be returning. read more

I'm so glad I discovered this spa. Booking on the website was super easy. I received a signature facial . The owner, Kim, went over your information thoroughly and explained her plan significant to you and your skin. She was extremely knowledgeable about products and procedures to best suite your individual needs. That made me feel extremely comfortable . Once we got over the logistics , she lets you relax and she'll check in every so often to make sure you're fine . I feel like I struggled with staying awake. Each facial comes with a neck and hand massage and I enjoyed it! My skin looked AMAZING afterwards. I mean I could Visibly see how clean and unclogged my pores were. I had a natural and beautiful glow when I left there. I literally couldn't stop looking in the mirror while driving home. My face not only looked hydrated and moisturized but it felt like it. I was extremely please and my search for a good facial is over . Kim was very pleasant and personable. We chatted for a bit and gave me tips on how to keep my face clear under these masks. Her space is very clean, neat, comfortable and pretty . I just really loved my whole experience. Thank you ! read more

I was looking for a new waxing studio closer to my home and came across Katura Day Spa on Yelp. After reading their reviews, I decided to book myself an appointment, which can be done directly from their website. Right now, they have a Mix n' Match special of 2 services for $85 so that's what I went for. You can pick between a Brazilian wax, a vaginal steam, an ion foot detox or an express facial. My appointment was with Nika, who is super sweet and very personable. I was there for about 2 hours. We started with the Brazilian wax. She uses hard and soft wax, which is what I am used to. She definitely knows what she is doing and was done within 15 minutes. Next was the facial. This was my first facial so I wasn't too sure what to expect. She walked me through all the products she was using on my face and recommended some products for me to try at home as well. It was very relaxing and my face still feels amazing (even though it's been almost a week since I was there). Overall, my experience was wonderful and I will definitely be returning! read more

I had a massage today with Kim, and it was amazing! She quickly spotted all my problem areas and got to work. She checked in to make sure I was comfortable and that the pressure was okay, and the massage oil still feels amazing on my skin hours later. The relaxing ambiance and soothing sounds were just what I needed today. Will definitely be going back! read more

Kim was amazing! She walked me through each step she was going to make and why it was going to benefit my skin. I loved the essential oil she has you inhale to help relax you at the beginning and end of the treatment. Her salon was very clean and her work area was very calming! The whole experience was very professional but very personal. She's very down to earth and welcoming. There is a special on Monday's and Thursday's for $50 microdermabrasion! Can't wait to go back and have Kim work her magic. read more

Katura Day Spa - Go see Kim! - Skin Care Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Short version: If you want a facial that is straightforward & gets the job done without the stuffiness of a place that nickel and dimes you for all of their supposed "included amenities"...This is your place! Best kept secret in the area. Long version: I visited Katura for a facial to address my skin's transition into the drier weather as well as the blackheads on my nose and chin. When you pull into the shopping center, it doesn't seem all that special. Once you open the door and step inside, you are in another world! They have completely transformed that space to feel so comfortable and serene. After filling out the paperwork, I was taken to the room where and instructed on how to lay down for the facial. Once I got comfortable, Kim, the owner and esthetician that worked on me, analyzed my skin and went over what she would like to do and the products she would like to use. She was very thorough in explaining everything and got started working on my skin. After that, the details got fuzzy. Between the relaxing music, soothing blue decor and Kim's magic touch; I began to slip into some serious relaxation . Having dealt with acne as an adult, I became accustomed to always have extractions done with facials. I never enjoyed the extractions but found that they were often necessary. Kim felt confident that should could clear my pores with her pineapple scrub and manual manipulation of my skin (i.e. massage) and she was right! I recall a chamomile oil cleanse at first, then the pineapple scrub, micro current and a seaweed mask. In between those there was an amazing Décolletage/Shoulder/Arm/Hand massage. It was better than some of the massages I have had in fancy spas! After we were done, I looked at my skin and was amazed at how much cleaner and clearer it was with just manipulation and the products she used. Best of all, my skin didn't have any reactions or sensitivity after the facial. I didn't have any skin purging either. In fact, my skin looked so good, I went several days without using foundation/powder and no one noticed that I didn't have makeup on (except for filling in my brows and lip gloss). If anything, I was just getting compliments on my skin. Kim did give me recommendations for at home care but didn't push any products on me. If you want a place that will address your skincare needs without having to take 4 hours out of your day or the frufruness of so called "high end" places that charge an insane amount if money for BS things no one cares about (like free tea/coffee/wine), then this place is for you. Step inside, let them take care of you for a while and then go about your day. It is definitely worth a visit. I will return and I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

I had an amazing facial with Kim! She was not only knowledgable about skin health but she took the time to explain it to me based on my specific skin type which meant a lot to me. The facial itself was thorough and I left glowing. The atmosphere was relaxing and well decorated. Kim said she used to be an interior decorator and IT SHOWS! The products used at Katura Day Spa are botanical based (essential oils etc) and high quality. Go on and support this local business, you will not regret it! Thanks again, Kim and see you soon. read more

I was looking for a waxing studio that provided professional service in a nice, clean, and relaxing environment....AND THIS PLACE WAS IT!!! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. My scheduled service was explained to me very thoroughly. This was my first time having my lady bits "sugared" so I was a little nervous, lol...However, my waxing/sugaring specialist, Khalia, did a great job and put my anxious mind at ease the whole time!!! I'm so impressed with her work that I scheduled two more sugaring appointments!!!I'm also looking into their other services as well. read more

Kim was so great at taking care of us during our girls weekend in Charlotte! The attention to detail, personal touches and how relaxed we were when we walked out was simply the cherry on top of a great time! read more

I Purchased my 1 hour Facial from Groupon, and it was legit the best purchased I made this year. Not only was the place clean and it smelled good but the personalized feeling once walking through the door was the icing on the cake. My facial took about an hour and she ( the owner Kim ) explained everything step by step. I felt so comfortable and taken care of. She told me what products were good for my face and what products weren't. I recommend them especially If you want a personalized experience and want a great facial that will show results that very day! read more

Today was my first appointment with Kim and I can say I throughly enjoyed the experience. The spa is actually behind the Wells Fargo building but GPS will take you to Costco. Lol Kim greeted me at the door and was very friendly. The room was beautiful. The walls were nice and the set up was clean and organized. She went over my intake information and asked questions. She explained the treatment plan and that it may change based upon what she saw on under the light. Kim explained products being used and how they would help the skin. I got a microdermabrasion on my face and it was heavenly. She had pleasant conversation and really focused on removing this dead skin. After she applied products and explained their purpose again. I feel like she really loves her job and it showed in her work. My face felt like new. I already booked a new appointment for one month out and I can't wait. read more

Had to visit this Black Owned spa & I'm glad I did! Will absolutely be returning for a facial. Got the Spacation package (sans champagne/fruit/cheese) and it definitely relaxed me! read more

I've been going to Kim for my skin concerns for almost a year. She's the absolute BEST aesthetician I've ever had! My skin feels and looks amazing after my appointment. During my appointment I'm so relaxed. Kim is a skin expert and I highly recommend her! read more

Get your no frills facial here! I discovered them on Groupon and am glad I got a 2 pack. Yes it's in a strip mall. Yes there's no relaxation room or wine.. but it also keeps costs down. Smelled great inside. Could be a little difficult to find since there's a tree in front of the windows and no major signage, but it's right next door to Royal Prestige. Easy online booking. Nica did a great job. She asked at the beginning if I wanted her to explain what she was doing or just be quiet so I could relax which I appreciated. They do offer 20% your first service if you don't have a Groupon and offer a microdermabrasion special for $50 every Monday and Wednesday. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Katura Day Spa! I purchased a Groupon for the customized facial and it was SO WORTH IT! Kim did an amazing and thorough job with the facial and was very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed the extra neck and arm massage that went along with it. I would love to return for another visit. The building is set in a strip mall and I don't believe there was sign other than on the glass, so pay attention to suite numbers. read more

My husband surprised me with a Groupon and he didn't disappoint! This place is amazing from the inside. Warm and friendly. The service was first class and it was relaxing. I cannot wait until my next appointment!! Omg the massage that they gave you during the facial was everything! Thank you for a first class service. read more

Looking for an opportunity to support a Black woman-owned spa, I made an appointment at Katura for a bikini wax. The spa is open on Monday only for waxing. I'd read many great reviews about Nica after finding her on Instagram, I was excited to see if she lived up to the hype. I'm happy to say she did an amazing job, is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond with her advice regarding some concerns I had. She was a sweetheart and asked engaging questions to help provide better service. She is very quick and thorough with her waxing and they use the wax that hardens and rips off, not the wax + strip combo. The spa itself is beautifully decorated in a rich teal color and smells incredible. If I am ever in the Charlotte area, I will definitely be back and for more services as well! Thank you Nica! read more

Katura Day Spa is the best in Charlotte hands down and they're just getting started! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. The prices are reasonable. What more ask for? Nica is THE absolute best esthetician around! I've been going to her for almost 2 years now. She has a way with people to make them feel relaxed. She takes her time with all of her guest to make sure everyone receives the deserved attention. Every time I leave, I feel like a new woman! Thank you Nica and Katura Day Spa! read more

Kim was great. Explained everything and did not do unnecessary procedures. I will be going back.

My first appt with Nica at Katura Day Spa. I was seen immediately upon my arrival. Received a Brazilian and hydro mask. Will only see Nica for my waxing needs. Job well done! read more

Visited Katura for a 60 minute facial. Kim spent a lot of time talking about products, ingredients and treatments. Not only did I get a facial but I got an education in skin care. I was very happy with my facial, the spa and Kim. I will return for more treatments. read more

Received a gift certificate for services and was a little skeptical. Great service very professional staff. Can't wait to book my next service. read more

I came to Katura for a series of microdermabrasion treatments. I choose Katura because it would be easiest to get to from my home and I could ride my bicycle there. Making an appointment online was so simple and i had an emailed confirmation immediately. I am so happy with my treatments and the friendly professional atmosphere of the spa. I had Kim as an esthetician. She let me know exactly what processes she was going to do and what to expect. She has a very calm and soothing demeanor which added to the relaxation of my spa treatment. I highly recommend Katura Day Spa. read more

I discovered Katura from Groupon purchasing a series of 3 for microdermabrasion. My skin has experienced a newfound life after she does the microdermabrasion. My skin is soooo refreshed after coming here. Kim is very knowledgeable about skincare. She tells you every step that she is doing to you my skin prior so you know what she is doing. I enjoy coming here and her prices aren't too bad compared to others. You won't be disappointed. read more
