I was in a room with one other client and one other staff person. So four of us, but the air flow moved and everyone was good about mask wearing. That's essential for me. They had OPI polish, my favorite!! And the ambiance was very relaxing. They also sell Beekman's lotion. Definitely want to go again!!

The seat was comfortable and had nice message features. She did a nice job on my nails and painting my toes. The message part was okay, but I get that given that it was not a upgraded, longer pedicure. I was late in booking so the time wasn't available. They have a nice selection of retail and I'd like to go back and have more extensive treatments. I had limited time and as I mentioned I booked close to the date. I did not get to see the whole spa so this review is only for the retail and nail portion.

My best friend and I had a lovely time soaking at Shoji Retreat! This charming spa is in a forest…read moreoasis. They suggested we arrive 30 minutes prior to our scheduled soak. The day we went seemed to be short staffed, so things took longer than expected, but our experience overall was great. When they were ready for us, they guided us to the fitting rooms with showers. We were given shoes, robes, towels, and tote bags. There are no official lockers here, so you are welcome to take your tote with you into your private bath. The fitting room had everything you needed. When we were ready we had another long wait, but were invited to enjoy the sauna. They gave us refreshing mint iced washcloths for the sauna that I loved. They have a menu with a bunch of great add-ons, I decided to stick with the water, but my best friend got the coconut water. When our bath was ready, they showed us a map on how to get down to our soak. We walked down a beautiful hill path to our bath overlooking the forest. Even though we started late, they still gave us the full hour. The intercom system seems to be a bit older. There was an awkward moment where they tried to speak to us, but we couldn't hear them over the hot tub bubbles, when I went back to ask them what they said, they never replied. Besides that, we had a wonderful time. Be mindful that the drive up is a bit confusing, you'll want to do a mix of following their signs and your GPS. The experience is also a bit pricey for what it is, but I'm still glad I tried it with my best friend.

My best friend and I came to Asheville from Atlanta and this was the highlight of our visit…read more Everyone was so nice and we enjoyed the experience. I do have to say though, that we were both a little surprised and disappointed in the amount of time that the foot soak/massage session lasted. On our confirmation email, stated that the session would last 2 hours and 30 minutes. Our session was by no means that long. The price of the Ashi Foot Soak was expensive, $175.00 is a lot of money for about an hour long session and to say that we were a bit let down is an understatement.

The front desk staff is efficient, thoughtful and professional. This clinic also frequently offers great deals on services that I take advantage of every year. Cons: one of the owners can be too familiar, unprofessional and casual. I found it uncomfortable that she shared so much of her personal life and overtly struggled setting up for my treatment. While the other owner's technique is superb I don't care for his bedside manner and he seemed resistant or kept forgetting my requests for pain management.

I really enjoyed my first visit to Avalon and think I will begin making my visit here a monthly…read morething. I am an art teacher and rarely get my nails done during the school year but I have been really just wanting to get a gel manicure badly so I decided to look up nearby nail salons. Avalon is located only a mile from my workplace so I decided to give them a try. I've heard great things about them from a few friends too. My favorite part about my visit here were that I was a walk-in and they were able to accommodate me right away. The host/woman at the desk was friendly and had me pick out my nail colors. I selected a dark blue and glitter (galaxy, ya know?!) and had a seat. The nail technician (I want to say her name was Sarah) wasn't very talkative and got to work immediately. My other favorite thing about this visit is that she was quick! I loved being able to walk through the doors, get my nails done and leave in 30 minutes. So awesome. My nails look great too! My only complaint is that the nail technicians work space was super dirty. It had dust particles all over it which was making my hands itchy. It just felt dirty. Next time, if this happens, I'll be sure to speak up and ask her to wipe the space first. I was pleased with my $30 bill, which after a tip was $36. That's almost $10 less than I was paying at my former nail salon.

They are both incredibly skilled, professional, and made us feel completely relaxed from start to finish. The massage was amazing, and the foot bath was such a wonderful, relaxing addition.

We highly recommend Tree and Radha to anyone looking for an exceptional massage experience!

The spa itself was lovely, seemed like an old home turned into a spa so it was very charming. The foot soak was heaven, we sipped on tea while we enjoyed the beautiful aromas.

Both ladies were lovely, very attentive and gave us each a cute gift bag with tea and essential oils. We had a wonderful experience!
