Everything went well! Amazing salon and service. Quiet relaxed atmosphere, kind talented staff. 10/10!

Haven't been to have my nails done in a long while and thought it might be peaceful here, which it was. I got the name off a FB group, probably a referral from a Five Points neighbor. Very sweet person. Quiet atmosphere. Easy parking. Great location, next to NoFo's. Not as noticeable from a distance but was a less professional grade manicure and hand massage than I would have liked. Sort of timid. Even with the Emory board. Fingernails were not cleaned out and had to ask. Only went back and did just one. Polish was not applied smoothly or evenly in the two coats. There were streaks and bubbles. Didn't take it to the edges of skin, while leaving nail polish remnants on some fingertips. Finally just let her finish and departed, thinking I'd probably have to take this all off at home. It's not bothering me as much now, cosmetically, but I'm disappointed that my cuticles aren't even groomed well, which is what I'd mainly gone to a nail tech for. I think the neighbors come here mainly for facials and full body massage, so perhaps try that instead. read more

Basic mani and pedi. My hands are often covered in mud and the soil embedded under my nails. I don't fuss about my nails but I do prefer my cuticles to not be cracked and dry. Today seemed like a good day to get my hands and feet neatened up to start the new year. This salon is immaculate and has quiet, calming energy. read more

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Julie! I came for a (late) Mother's Day treat with the 90 minute CBD pain relief massage and WOW. Julie managed to workout tensions I didn't even realize I was carrying in my body. I left genuinely feeling like I had gotten a little wave of miracle magic massaged over me. I've had massages, and most of the time they are good, but this one? I'm convinced to revisit. If you want a wonderful massage, definitely check out Tao! read more

I had. 90 mins massage with Asia today! I asked for emphasis on hands & feet as well as on my right side neck & hips. it was wonderful!!! I couldn't have asked for it to be better! read more

I've come here several times for a variety of treatments. I can't say enough good things about their massages and facials- I will not go anywhere else for those! Their manicures and pedicures are decent but you could definitely go elsewhere for the same quality. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because they don't have legit pedicure chairs. It's a regular (though very comfy) chair you sit in and they wheel a little plastic foot tub over for you to soak your feet in. It's great in theory, but the wheels make it hard for the tub to stay still while your feet are propped up. I had to physically hold my feet up on the tub the entire time and it turned out to be an uncomfortable experience instead of relaxing. All in all, Tao spa is a great gem in the Five Points area, and the owner is really kind and you can tell she cares a lot about her customers! read more

Such a great place. I was from out of town and they did everything they could to accommodate me.

My mom and I visited Tao day Spa this week, and we were both thrilled with our gel manicures and massage. We opted for the shoulder trigger point massage and reflexology. I also got my eyebrows waxed, and I love the artistry of the shaping. The interior is clean, comfy and well-decorated. Plenty of color options for nails. The ladies were both kind and friendly. If you come during Covid times, masks are worn and appointments well spaced, so it's not crowded. I definitely recommend! read more

This is a great locally owned small business in Raleigh! Bing and Van & their whole team were great! They're only accepting reservations right now and have a max capacity of 5 clients at a time which I LOVE because, COVID-19. We indulged in the couples spa day package which did not disappoint! Everything was sanitized and opened fresh, and the staff wore masks at all times. They really took the time to make sure we were comfortable during our entire visit. Would definitely recommend! read more

I was off of work last week and I spent most of my time prepping our house for renovations. This was the treat I planned for myself. My esthetician came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She was very knowledgeable about skin and women of color. I could go on a long rant about how hard it is to find someone who is educated, but I won't. My skin still looks and feels amazing. I will definitely be back. read more

I upgraded to the iPhone 12 the other day. And you know what that big beautiful zoom lens showed me? Momma needs a facial, ASAP. I was able to be fit in the same day I called which I really appreciated, and their prices are reasonable for sure. Don't let the nail salon vibe in the front throw you. The rooms for the massages and facials have a heavy barn door and once the lights are dimmed and the relaxation music is playing, the environment is exactly what you need to relax. A definite plus was the neck and shoulder massage that came along with the classic facial. They do have reserved free parking on the side of the entrance, so be on the lookout because I drove by it not noticing at first. Regardless, I'm from Cary, but I'm a million percent open to coming back to this location for more treatments in the future. read more

I booked 2 massages (WEEKS in advance) for my sister and I for her 30th birthday. We live out of town, so I planned a day in Raleigh and the massages were the main part of her gift/our day. Someone called me 2 HOURS before our appointment and told me only one of us could get a massage that day. I can understand that things happen, however we were not offered any other services nor did I ONCE get an apology for what was a huge inconvenience to our day. Difficult to rate as we did not get to experience the spa, but their customer service could use some work. read more

I had a full service scheduled for my wife's birthday (massage, facial, mani&pedi). The aesthetician, massage therapist, & nail technician were great. Thank you ladies for making my wife's birthday special. The front desk person was unpleasant. I called ahead before we arrived to let them know we'd be a few mins late and I wanted to be respectful of any late policy that they had. We were 7 min late and waited 10min bf she came up front. One of the nail techs left her client to check us in and get us started on the form after we sat there for a while. Then as we were filling out the initial form the front desk person , who finally came out, informs us that out time had started so the longer we were there the less time we'd have. #1 that wasn't mentioned when I called & #2 she wasn't even there when arrived. My wife also mentioned that she was less than pleasant while she was there though I can't speak on that as I wasn't there. There are some other subtle things that I won't mention but all & all my wife said that she enjoyed her day there. But I hate that the experience was tarnished by one person. read more

I recently got a massage at Tao Day by Bing. All I can say is I feel brand new. I loved her techniques and the relaxing atmosphere. She focused on my trouble areas and made sure to communicate with me if I everything was to my liking. Highly recommend booking with her. read more

Great massage. Highly recommend. The owner shows great hospitality and always tries to work with my schedule.

I am so happy I found this place (through Groupon). The owner Bing is such a sweet and genuine person. Her spa place is so clean, very nicely decorated and is spacious. I came when they just reopened last week and I'm glad I did. She did a great job on my toenails and I loved the relaxing massage. I will be definitely coming back! Highly recommended! read more

This is a hidden gem ! Tucked away is a small day spa. June has done my facials twice and when i say shes a pro's pro its an understatement! I am from out of state and look forward to my next trip ! read more

I cannot praise this adorable spa enough. I went today for the first time and had an incredible experience. I purchased their spa package, which included a massage, facial and pedicure. The services were top notch and you couldn't have asked for a friendlier staff. June is a goddess with the facial and Juli was perfect with the massage and pedicure. I can't wait to come back! read more

I've recently moved to Raleigh and was searching for an esthetician and June is amazing! I have gone to her three times and each time has been a great experience. She takes her time talking to you and learning about your skincare concerns. You can tell she is very passionate and knowledgeable. If you need to get a facial, she is the person to trust. read more

Crystal is an incredible masseuse! As a nurse, I am constantly on my feet and using my body in ways that can lead to injury. Crystal listened to my needs and did a fantastic job targeting my pain areas. She used excellent pressure! I'm excited to continue going to Crystal for massages. Tao Day Spa also offers facials and mani/pedis, which I'm excited to try! read more

Fabulous Spa.... you can get Facials, Massage, Waxing, Nails, or other beauty services all in one stop!

This was one of the best pedicures I've ever had! The people there are so sweet and caring. The decor is absolutely stunning. So refreshing and rejuvenating. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Highly recommend. My friend and I got the best massages with Bing - she is very professional & friendly, attentive & sensitive to body's needs. Calm atmosphere and wonderful massage. Thank you!! read more

The spa did not appear to be as pictured. They were pleasant enough, but the language barrier prevented them from understanding that I was asking for silk wrap nails. Not an unusual ask. read more

I just had the best experience here. I started off with an hour deep tissue massage, a facial, and mani/pedi. I am so relaxed and what a treat for me. Bing and June took such great care of me and we had such great conversation. The spa is so well decorated and super clean. Never did I feel uncomfortable being in this spa, getting these services done, thinking they weren't doing all they could to uphold the cleanliness standards we all need to abide by at these times. I'm not from around here but I will absolutely be back next time in Raleigh. Oh! And everything was well priced also. I can't wait to go back! read more

I had one of the best massages I've ever had from Tao Day Spa. The atmosphere, free wine, and most importantly the treatment given solved a few weeks of soreness. I would highly recommend if you need relief for muscle pain. If you're in the Raleigh area, make it a point to stop here for a Spa day, you will not regret. Spa is worth supporting as a local business. Be sure to book early as they're limited in capacity due to COVID. read more

Amazing!!! Anyone who is anyone has an hour to give back to themselves, and if I lived across the street it wouldn't be close enough!! Went in with back pain, and the only pain I have now is that I may never find another spot like this!!! Do yourself a favor and check her out!!! read more

Very accommodating for me and my friend's for a bridal shower. They do really good work and take a lot of pride in accuracy and presentation. The only thing was they allowed a customer to be inside without a mask while literally everyone else wore a mask and was mask compliant. The shop is very small and it just didn't make sense and was disappointing read more

Such a wonderful and relaxing gel manicure and pedicure! Loved the service and the clean and calming atmosphere.

AWFUL experience. I called on Sunday and made an appointment. I get there right on time and there's only one person working and 1 client. She tells me she's "running behind" and after 20 minutes of waiting she hadn't even started the polish on the previous client. Don't ask people to make appointments if you aren't going to honor them. read more

My experience here was okay. Wasn't somewhere I'd visit again but wasn't a horrible one. I received a gift card from my boyfriend which paid for a signature mani/pedi. The place is super cute and I'm sure has a lot of potential. The nail technician didn't seem like she was very confident in her work or herself. I felt like she didn't give me the full treatment I had requested. Barely did any massage on either my hand or my feet. Didn't soak my nails before treating them, didn't clean under my cuticles and kept having to reshape my nail after applying the gel polish. They have foot baths that have wheels so every time my foot would relax, the bath would nearly fall over or scoot away from the technician. I had to physically hold up my leg so much that my muscle started to have a spasm as she was applying the nail polish. Came here for relaxation and I just felt like I was barely cared for and rushed out the door. Would come back if they invest in better foot baths and would make sure their technicians know what they're doing read more

Today is my second visit with June and as always it was every bit of amazing! If you're looking to rid your skin of the 2020 blues and get ready to embrace the warm weather ahead please come in and see her. Super attentive and informative, she has all the tips for your skin needs. read more

Appointment was booked on Thursday Christmas Day at 10:19PM for just the massage (wanted to hold spot just in case I couldn't book package on the 26th when the spa opened and website says to call for package deal. On December 26 the day of the appointment I called MULTIPLE times about 20 or more with no answer also left a voicemail because I wanted the package deal this was all for my girlfriends birthday. With no answer I went to the spa thinking maybe they are busy. This was about 1-2 hours before the appointment. When I got to the spa it was closed have picture of the sign and shop showing closed no one was there. I sat at the shop for maybe another 30 minutes and also called a few times again because I wanted to make sure everything was in order. No response was received 10 minutes after her appointment was suppose to be begin that Julie was waiting for her at the shop. I explained the situation and that I would no longer like the service because of the situation I just explained and I had already booked somewhere else. They were not understanding at all and kept referring to the 24 hour cancellation which was not possible as the appointment was booked at 10:19 PM on Christmas Day. My card was still charged $75 cancelation/no show and all they were willing to do was reschedule but not return $75 and kept referring to 24 hour policy and that someone was there which once again the sign said closed, lights off, no one was at the spa. This was not at all a good impression for how business is ran at this spa. I even was going to reschedule but $75 had to be returned. Between having to call over 25 times with no answer and leaving a voicemail and not receiving a callback until after the appointment time. I do not recommend this place to ANYONE. read more
