I read the reviews and was surprised. The receptionist was friendly, professional and informative. I settled on a 50 minute package that included a foot massage, face and hair massage; neck shoulders and back and thighs and arms! Wow! The atmosphere is calm, relaxing and serene. I felt guilty reading my book on my phone. It didn't matter because soon I had a hot compress covering my eyes and wrapped around my neck. I was in heaven. There was a sea salt scrub and eucalyptus oils and a hot stone! I was totally relaxed. Looking forward to trying something else next time!, my package was only $45 (not including gratuity). read more

I walked into a small foyer, and was greeted by a pleasant man who offered a beverage as I was bathed in soothing tones coming from a inconspicuous sound system... Upon checking in, I received my beverage and was escorted through a quiet, candlelit communal area with several massage stations filled with clients, on the way to my private massage room. I received a 60 minute full body massage with Rachael. The massage was AMAZING, which was enhanced with aromatherapy oils. She found several knots and trigger points in my back that I didn't know were there. Rachael was a skilled therapist and I highly recommend her! I left stress free and relaxed, and I will DEFINITELY return... read more

My girlfriend and I went here yesterday, both for different services and this place is great. If you want to trance out in massage in a very dark quiet place with hot stones come here. It looks small, and maybe it is but the layout is quite interesting... It's like a pod of dark relaxation read more

I came in today around 1:50pm. Although they advertise "Walk-ins Welcome", the receptionist, Kathryn, told me that there was no availability until after 2:30pm. Apparently there was only one person working at the time and they were busy until 2:30pm. Before I was given the opportunity to book a later appointment or on another day, Kathryn quickly picked up the phone and stopped talking to me completely. Without asking me to hold or asking the person on the phone to hold while she finished up with a customer, she completely ignored me as I stood there. After a couple of minutes, I became frustrated and left and went to another massage place nearby which attended to me quickly. read more

I really enjoyed this spa. It is very dark but exceptionally clean. The services are reasonable...especially for Buckhead. I am looking forward to returning for sure. One tip: Make sure you park in a marked space or in the deck...they will boot you. read more

My therapist at Sole spa did not ask me to do a medical intake form or ask about previous injuries. (Not professional) I was covered in way too much oil. He kept wiping off the oil with a wet towel. (Most LMTs use lotion or cocoa butter that soaks into the skin leaving it soft). The therapist kept leaving the room randomly to get things that should have been prepared advance. (With out explaining why) It was a generic back massage with no attention to the muscles underneath. The draping methods were questionable. I was more exposed than I have been at other spas. It was the most generic, sloppiest, least professional massage ever and I am a retired massage therapist. The only reason I gave two stars is because they gave me a discount when I explained the issues I had with the therapist. read more

I have been to sole many times and I usually have great service, but tonight I went and instead of the 45 minute foot massage that I signed up for I received a 30 minute massage. And it was noisy. My massage was interrupted several times by employees walking by and making noise and by employees changing out the garbage cans and talking amongst themselves. This was not the peaceful oasis I was hoping for this evening. Furthermore I was not even offered anything to drink after my massage. I had to get up to get my own cup of water. What happened sole? When I told the lady upon check out she was unphased and rang up my bill. My massage was close to closing time and everyone was rushing. Disappointed experience. read more

I've never experienced such careless unprofessionalism, thoughtlessness, stupidity, and downright awful customer service in my life at one single place. Not only will I not be returning, but id caution you if you want to relax some advice go slam the car door on your hand it will be more pleasure able. Honestly, this is no place to go unless your traveling on foot, bus, etc. if you want a massage or any service for that matter with the "sole" purpose of relaxing , this is what im fearful you may experience instead: 1) possible trouble finding this gem of a place thats easy to miss, find it wait for valet as their is no simple parking situation, get tired after 8 minutes, call the front desk 3 times get frustrated finally park in retail parking in a garage with a sign that says towing enforced, reserved for customers only and to pay in advance. unless you frequent the garage, work there, or are on staff at the booting company will you have the slightest idea where/ how to do that as its not obvious dummy proof- at least for this dummy. So After doing all of the above, I wait 20 minutes with no one upfront but a lady who looks like she clearly can't handle customer service for what it entails in greeting customers, answering the phone, must be getting services herself as she's back in the I'm assuming massage room more than upfront. So to my surprise when I express my already dissatisfied experience fearful of the time I'm going to be shorted bc she's had me wait 20 plus minutes she then tells me my car has a boot on it and when I call to ask her what she's going to do about it the icing was her response: "Your massage was $85 and a boot's $75 so you saved $10 actually. No shit, thank you. I drove 45 minutes to get a massage after being hit by a car a month ago needed one day, rather 90 minutes of an escape a relaxing moment. instead I'm stuck looking for a building, a customer service person, parking, waiting 20 minutes for humpty dumpty to greet me with you have a boot on your car. In hindsight, they were busy I was already distraught, she said she would call I thought to help me but the **** had to have called them to get the boot placed on my car. Dumb bitch. Brilliant, truly! word of caution to the owners of sole and the dufus behind the desk, please know that this will be a very hard lesson for you to recover from. I was not the right person to piss off today and ill ensure that I do my part so that no one will have to deal with such disappointment, disregard, and idiocy here again from the likes of sole or the booting company!! thanks for saving me $10, I'm going to save you from an occupation you obviously don't enjoy so you can truly find what your passion is. Relax and Enjoy! Cheers. read more

I came here last week to get some R&R. The receptionist greeted me by name when I walked in the door. The experience was better than a pedicure. Get the seventy minute indulgence package for a special treat! read more

I scheduled a 90 minute full body and foot massage. The massage therapist was a novice, very rough, breathed heavily (as if exerting a lot of energy), and was rushed. However, she was kind and seemed to want to do her best. The massage was not relaxing at all! Overall the spa lacks a lot of attention to detail. It is not a spa experience by any stretch of the imagination. You can hear other people getting massages just outside the door, and you can hear people talking, and all kinds of noises from staff cleaning. It was a little creepy the way there's no real privacy. I felt uncomfortable and will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. It's really not worth it....not even if you have a coupon or deal. read more

We have long been a fan of sole spa. The staff is friendly, the place is clean & the masseuses are fab! Special shout out to Amanda and Patricia -- the absolute best! We lived around the corner when they first opener and visited on a weekly basis (totally magical & addictive). We've since moved to the burbs, but still find ourselves traveling to buckhead when we can. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Today was my first time visiting Sole Spa and it will not be my last. This wonderfully relaxing establishment has off street parking for guests and great selection of additional options to compliment your reflexology session. I had a grapefruit foot scrub, ionic foot bath added to my massage. I enjoyed every moment I was there and once I settled in I was oblivious to the soothing temple like decor and the quiet music. Frank was my therapist during my visit and in his hands he found tension I didn't know I had. This session was made even more wonderful because it did not just focus on my feet! His technique including stretching and relaxing my arms, neck and legs. I have never had that before during a reflexology session and it was really what I needed. Frank has very strong fingers and you will feel it when certain areas are stimulated. It is great that I have had reflexology before so I knew what to expect. While soothing, like a massage, it will let you know where tension and issues are located just as with other types of massage. I was so happy with my service that I bought another and since I found them through a Living Social Deal ( what a great bargain) I can say they are worth their regular price and hope others who try them using the same deal will tip according to the regular price. Frank did a great job and I felt invigorated and really grounded when I was done. It is really a bonus if you don't have to do much after your session but put your feet up and admire their glow. read more

Great staff, super inexpensive, I'll definitely be frequenting them in the future.

Wow!! When life gets hectic and crazy, I reccomend a trip to this spa. I've never had such a lovely experience. The candlelit interior, the soothing music and professional staff make for a "I can't wait to come back" experience. Not for the faint hearted, these are deep massages. My girlfriends and I enjoyed a foot, shoulder, arms, and head massage. The scrub was intense and the massage nice and strong. I left feeling like butter! Highly recommend and I will be back. read more

This place was amazing the first time my fiancé and I went so I wanted to go back after our wedding weekend. We both had superb services. However the second time not so much. My therapist, Wayne was great. But my fiancé told me he was not pleased at all! His therapist put no effort into the massage and her hands were too gentle. I expressed this to them while checking out and the resolution was next time we come back she will document that she was not a good therapist for him. No empathy displayed at all. read more

After doing my research in the Atlanta area for the most relaxing specific massage place, I found that this was the most highly reviewed for what I wanted. Sole Spa was highest for relaxation aspects, and I didn't want so much a "spa" treatment with facials or a massage place that fixes hurt muscles. Just wanted pure relaxation! For Valentine's day I got my boyfriend the works- full body, head massage, foot scrub, reflexology, back mask, hot stones, etc etc... Carmen in front was super nice and extremely knowledgable about helping me figure out exactly what to get and what they offered. Plus, honestly, THE BEST deals in town. It came out to 2 1/2 hours for just $140. Amazing. My bf said Rachel who I had requested did an amazing job- asked what kind of pressure was best, took her time, and was obviously an extremely skilled masseuse. He had absolutely no complaints and actually complimented as to how calming the atmosphere was with the candles and stones.. perfect! Will be back! read more

This place is amazing! The massages are so relaxing and you can't beat the prices. The service is also fantastic, especially the woman who works at the front desk. The first time I came, I was not sure how the parking worked and didn't pay the $4 (which they reimburse you for) at the self pay station. When the woman working the front desk found this out, she had someone run out to the garage to pay for my parking while I was getting my massage - amazing service. The massages alone are worth going here, but the service is icing on the cake. One tip is to call ahead make a reservation. read more

This is definitely the best foot spa I've been to in Atlanta, and I've been to a lot. The massage was amazing. Unlike most foot spas they actually do a massage of your upper body, including head, as well. I also love how you lay down instead of sitting up. And, the price is so cheap for what you get! The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is do to noise. The massage room is connected to the front entrance by a door. So you can hear everything going on. Not very relaxing. They need to sound proof the door. They also keep the water jug in the same room where you're getting your massage. So people are getting up a lot or coming in/leaving and getting water. Very noisy. It needs to be in the front entrance. In spite of that I still keep coming back because the massage and price are unbeatable! read more

Understand that you don't get your own private area. It was a common area that has about 20 chairs. It was 1/3 full. It was pretty mellow and quiet so not a big deal. I did see some private rooms maybe you can ask for them? I wish I knew they validated parking in the public lot attached that way I did not have to keep driving around. They should advertise this benefit more. I got a foot massage which itself was OK. I was disappointed that they advertise it includes a scalp and shoulder massage, but my shoulder massage was her squeezing my shoulders 3 times and the scalp massage was really a facial massage lasting 30-60 seconds which I was frankly okay with ending as I wanted the advertised scalp massage. The chair was unbelievably comfortable. And they give eye covers and neck heater which was a nice touch. The real issue is their chairs don't expose the calf. It is hard to give a real foot massage when they can't touch the calf. They only did front of leg which feels like getting half a massage. If they could fix this at their price point this place would be pretty value. I just don't know how they can do a great complete foot massage with the way their chairs work. It's a real bummer as I would come back often if they did fix that and gave the scalp and shoulder massage as advertised. More relaxing environment than nail spa for marginally more. read more

I love this place! I have been here multiple times and I always love it. The prices are very affordable and the service is great. One time I heard there was a place similar to this called Treat your Feet, the two don't compare at all! At sole spa the massage rooms are very dark and quiet with calming music playing, no talking. The staff is mostly oriental but they speak decent English. To be clear, I never have any problems with people from other countries, my only concern is that I sometimes have problems communicating. There is also a sweet American lady that works at the front desk so if you had a real communication problem she would be available. Some people mentioned that everyone recieved their massage in the same room but that's only partly true. Sole spa obviously caters to foot massages so the majority of people there are receiving that service. If you get a foot massage you are in a big dark room with other people but you can barley notice their there. The only issue with this is that if you are right by the door it can be a little annoying because there is a bright light every time someone enters or leaves the room. They do give you an eye mask to help counter act that. If you get a body massage (the only massage they offer that would require you to disrobe) you have your own private room. If you're thinking of trying this place I say go for it, it's the best I've been to! read more

I had a 60-minute foot massage on Saturday. Half the time was spent massaging my neck, shoulders, arms and hands. That was okay but I really wanted that time spent on my feet. When the therapist did get to my feet, it was more of a foot rub than a foot massage. It was like a foot rub that my boyfriend gives me, not a professional massage that is focused on the pressure points on your feet. My therapist did not focus on the pressure points at all. I doubt she was trained in reflexology techniques. I have had hundreds of foot massages and this was one of the worst. read more

Massage would have been wonderful had the therapist clipped her nails down. Only other complaint was that her stool squeaked. Had it not been for that... this would have been an amazing experience! read more

Visited the salon for the first time today, Loved it! The prices are very reasonable for Buckhead, especially the 45min option for $30. The service was relaxing and all staff members were helpful and kind. I'll definitely be back :) read more

I do 90 min massage, the masseur only service 65 minutes, and ask me $50 tips! I will not come again！

I am consistently on the hunt for the best, most inexpensive massage I can find. I've tried numerous spas and massage specific locations across Buckhead and Midtown for years now. My recent full body massage at Sole Spa was by far the best massage at the best price I've ever gotten. The parking situation is easy, I got in and out no sweat. They have great hours that accommodate working people and really polite, nice staff. I would 100% recommend!! read more

Everythibg avout this olace is winderful my fav therapist selena us gone. Kathy and wayne are great

I've gotten massages from a couple Ritz-Carlton properties, Four Seasons, etc. and this was the best full-body massage I've ever had! Amanda was amazing! I'll definitely be back. read more

I originally had an appointment for 11:30 for which I pushed back to 12:00. I arrive and you tell me that the services I requested are not available until 3:00pm. Great! read more

I love this place. Everything was on point. Hector was awesome and I will be back to see him soon.

Recently decided to try this place out. Read the reviews and still thought worth a try. Give them credit for nice ambiance .... But one star was for the massage itself and service. I booked the reflexology foot massage for my partner and I. Perhaps my expectation should have been for a Thai style massage and if that's what you want then go here. Personally I felt a lot of personally boundaries were invaded even while having a massage fully clothed! The therapist breathed all over my face and I could smell his lunch....the massage wasn't enjoyable for either of us. Both Therapists were unprofessional, spoke to each other and snickered occasionally while giving us massages and never spoke to us at all. I expected a foot massage and got banged around all over my body for 60 minutes. I've had tons of reflexology in the past and this wasn't it. But if you want some one to massage you and don't care how it feels and are fine with people getting close to private areas then I'd say this is your place. read more

Frank wasFABLOUS!!!! My first time there and the place is bigger than I expected!!!! The massage was great , very professional. I will return. Thanks Frank ;) read more

I've had massages in many settings -- resorts, cruises, local spas and subscription-based businesses and this is the most expert massage I've had. I started with the foot massage and progressed to full body 90 minutes. To have the best massage experience you need to fully undress and not be squeamish. My masseur is always very professional and only uncovers the part of the body he's working on. I'm surprised that someone else said they felt uncomfortable. I have a deep tissue massage which is intense but I don't feel extremely sore the next day -- other places have left me feeling incapacitated the next day. The setting is small but beautifully done with great attention to detail - lighting, flowers, artwork. I hesitated to give a review because I don't want this place to become too crowded! Highly recommended! PS Don't park across the street in front of RBC bank even after hours - they booted my car. read more

My coworkers have been talking up this place for months so I finally broke down and decided to treat my feet! I recently was lucky enough to get a walkin spot for a 30 minute foot massage on a busy Saturday afternoon. I had just come from work so I had on boots and was hauling a large tote. I was quickly led back to a dimly lit room by flashlight to a relaxing seat with the foot bath already heated. I wish I had either a little more space or already come in with flip flops and a smaller bag. I was instructed to lean back as they lowered the chair back and I let my feet soak in the warm water. They gave a quick massage to my forehead and then placed a warm rice bag around my shoulders and then had a cool bag placed over my eyes. As they began the foot massage, I began relaxing and lost track of everything else. The prices are super reasonable and I will be back, probably during the week when it is a little bit quieter though. Overall great experience. read more

I have been to Sole Spa 4 times in a number of weeks. I can't imagine why some of these folks have gotten treated so poorly, unless they are the type that are always difficult to please. For me, the service has been absolutely stellar each and every time. And I'm well established as someone who reviews a great spa, though not on yelp until today. The atmosphere puts you in instant relaxation, and Amanda has such and amazing hands that know exactly how much pressure to apply. I'm sold - I'm a regular! read more

Each time I visit ATL, this is on my stop. A great value and a wonderful experience. It is very relaxing. For the women, wear loose clothes, or a tank top, and leggings or loose pants, as a foot massage, always includes a neck and shoulder massage. Also, i always take off my jewelry. And i have never called ahead for an appointment, they are always busy, but well staffed so I have never waited. A very relaxing, easy experience! I can not imagine who would not like this place. read more

Worst experience I've ever had!!! Between the sound of the toilet flushing, the receptionist screaming/a general lack of awareness, employees laughing and talking in the back, my boyfriend and I had to stop the service early and leave before we both had a panick attack. I have no idea how this place is still in business. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT waste your time or money!!! read more

My friend told me about the new Sole Spa in Buckhead to try and I am so glad I did because it was awesome!! I got one hour foot massage and it was so relaxing. The place is beautifully decorated. and the staff are very pleasant. I also love where it is located as there's an Asian Bistro called Aqua right next door where I went for a nice dinner after my massage. I will definitely be back there over and over again! read more

I've been here six times. The first few were fabulous but the last two times have been awful. I always go with a friend and she feels the same way! We went this week and both of us thought our therapists had no idea what they were doing. Mine kept screwing and unscrewing the bottle of lotion. I asked three times if he would increase the pressure on my massage; I felt like he was just gently rubbing lotion on me! I think they might have had a change in ownership or management. I hope they get their groove back! read more

I purchased a travelzoo coupon for myself and one for a friend for a girls day out. The experience we had at sole spa was horrible. We were supposed to receive a 1 hour foot massage and a 1 hour body massage. I would actually score them a zero if I could, but I had to choose at least one star. Below was my experience. 1. The foot massage was fine, but only lasted about 45 minutes. This includes me waiting 10 minutes with my feet in the water before they start the massage. 2. After the foot massage, they asked me and my friend (she was in the chair/bed next to me) to turn over on my stomach. The man started massaging my back. I stopped him and asked if this is how the massage was supposed to be. I was expecting to go into a room with a massage bed and be massaged with oil. He told me he didn't speak english so he left and came back with a lady that did speak english. I asked her about the massage and she said they give acupuncture massages. This is not what the coupon said. 3. When they were finished, I went to the front desk waiting on my friend and looked at the clock and I told the receptionist that we came out of the service 30 minutes early. She told me that nobody could speak english in the back and got confused as to what service we were supposed to get. Really? I handed you the paid travelzoo coupon and you guys got confused? I asked to speak to the manager and he was not there. She called him and explained what happened and suggested to him to give us a 30 minute credit for another visit. He said NO! I spoke with him and explained what had happened. He was rude, unprofessional and told me NO to the credit. That was it. I told him I would not be back in this spa. What a terrible experience this turned out to be. 4. I contacted Travelzoo and explained my experience at this salon. The "90" minute service I received would have cost $60 if I walked in for the service. I paid $59 for the coupon that was supposed to be 2 hours of massage. I asked travelzoo to reimburse me for half of what I paid since I did not receive what was promised. Hats off to Travelzoo for making things right. I will never visit this place again. There are too many great spas in the Atlanta area to waste time and money on this place. TOO ALL THE TRAVELZOO COUPONERS, BEWARE AND MAKE SURE THEY GIVE YOU WHAT YOU PAID FOR. read more
