I went here to treat my friend for her birthday. It was an experience I've never done before. I would say almost a mixture of a pedicure and a massage. It was really relaxing and the massage was really nice. I booked the one that include two different massage areas. It was super relaxing and I liked how we got to pick the bath salt and oils that was used in our foot spa. The menu was really descriptive of the options and the benefits of each. They did a great job making sure your legs were dried after you were done so made it easier for you to go continue on your day in the city. I do think the price was a bit high for what you get as I feel like you could just pay a bit more to get a full private massage. But I can see the appeal of this for special occasions when you want to do something with friends. read more

Welp, this was sprung on me as a surprise....but ended up being a pleasant one! I ended up picking a massage that gave focus on the hands and arms...as an IT guy + pianist + gamer, needless to say this was exactly what I needed. The person performing the massage has been clearly trained and hit all the pain points where there is build up in the muscles and bones that need worked out. This was happening all the while I was in a foot soak sipping some very hot tea. Would I have ever tried it before? Honestly, no...I guess stereotypes had me locked into a mindset. I'll DEFINITELY be back for that for my hands and arms. Go sometime and pair it up before a good lunch or dinner. We did it prior to a brunch and was a very relaxing date day. read more

Went for the first time for a soak and massage! Jacob was super amazing and sweet! Will definitely be returning soon! (:

We had the best time at wake foot sanctuary. I took my mom for a little girls night and we loved it! Aiden and Warren are so good at what they do my shoulders have never felt better! If you're looking for a great girls night- you've found it. We will definitely be back! read more

This is the most relaxing thing you can possibly do! Staff is amazing! Never, Ever had a bad experience!

My daughter and I needed to relax after a trip home to visit my mom. This place was recommended to me by a friend and this place DID NOT disappoint. The customer service before, during and after the service was impeccable! I will be back when I'm in town and if you're ever in Knoxville, TN, do yourself a favor and make an appointment. Bonus...you get a pair of slippers to take home. read more

I love anything in the self care area of the world and thought this would be a fantastic activity for our anniversary! Turned out, I was right. When you walk in, you're given house shoes to wear upon check in and you choose your soak. I chose Salty Beach Rose (which was not only soothing but pretty to look at), and my husband got the Signature Soothe. We also each chose two massage areas and shared a pot of Relaxing Mint Herbal Tea, (which was delicious and served with a happy anniversary sign and two Ham & Goodies lemon cookies. IYKYK). The rooms are dark with nice comfy chairs. Putting your legs into the basin of water is a little awkward, (maybe don't wear a dress), but once you're in, it's comfortable. Our massages, (legs/feet and arms/hands for me, legs/feet and head/shoulders for my husband), were fantastic and it was a truly relaxing time! read more

We had the most relaxing and rejuvenating foot soak and massage experience! So much so that we immediately booked another appointment. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was calming and welcoming. The foot soak was heavenly--warm, fragrant, and the perfect start to melt away stress. The massage that followed was incredible--perfect pressure, incredibly soothing, and left me feeling completely refreshed. The staff was professional, attentive, and truly skilled. I can't recommend this place enough! A true hidden gem! read more

Such a great experience!! I am so glad I received a gift card to go back!! Now I will take my mom with me!!

Service, quality, and vibe. We had a lovely couples foot bath and massage. We lucked out by calling last minute on a day that Knoxville was out on school break. It was a perfect day! read more

This was a Christmas gift from our children. I wanted to love it because it's seems like such a great concept. The big bowl of water was nice at first but became uncomfortable while sitting upright in a chair. My legs kept falling asleep. There was one message therapist for both my husband and I. The head message was very minimal and the neck and shoulders were not easy for her to get to. Way too expensive for a foot soak and a "sitting back in a chair" neck message. I would have enjoyed a $30 mall chair message much more. The only people there was my husband and I but still only had one message therapist. They asked us up front if we wanted to see a beverage list. My husband wanted hot tea so we shared a pot of tea which we were charged $10. I did know the price ahead but when we went to drink it was like warm. I asked the therapist if there was any way she could heat it up and she said it was at a regulated temp and she could not. Besides being barely warm it tasted like it was poured from the foot water we were soaking in. We didn't drink the tea. I usually don't complain but it was the most I have ever spent on tea and I would have liked it better if it had been warm. Needless to say I was less than relaxed the entire time. read more

Great service, quality products, and such an enjoyable, relaxing time. The ambiance was warm and inviting and the staff is fantastic. If you're looking for a moment of self-care or a break from the daily grind, I definitely recommend. read more

I was in Knoxville for a quick work trip and was fortunate to get an appointment! The service was lovely. The therapist amazing! Highly recommend treating yourself to the experience. read more

My friend and I were in town and decide to give this place a try. After reading some of the reviews, we thought it'd be good. We set up an appt the day before, so it wasn't so last minute. I just wished they've told us that we would have one therapist for the both of us. For $80, she just placed our feet in epson salt with bubbles, and had our neck and shoulders rubbed for 20 min.. You may have been better off going to an actual massage for the same price. read more

Second time visiting and I was again blown away with how relaxing this place is. The gift shop/waiting area is amazing with unique products, calming vibe immediately as you walk in. My massage therapists have been so wonderful with a very healing touch. So happy this place is here!! 10/10 recommend-- treat yourself! read more

Ok we just left the place. While we feel great, legs feel awesome. The water got cold quite a bit- they need heaters under the bowls. I thought the package we bought was $180 for both of us.... The total ended up being $344. Whoa. Apparently it was per person- the way it was explained to me on the phone was that that was the package for both my husband and I. They did a great job, but with the cold water, and we had to pay $10 for a mimosa.... I say go buy some epson salt, soak at home and let your loved one rub on you. Same thing- $6 for a bag of epson. A full body 90 minute deep tissue massage is way cheaper right around the corner. I reccomend if you're super wealthy and can afford this. read more

I took my mom here for her birthday. It was wonderful!!!! Very unique and relaxing! Would highly recommend!! read more

Wake Foot Sanctuary - Foot Soak - Day Spas Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Absolutely relaxing and wonderful! The atmosphere is serene. Add the massage to your soak and move into peace.

My SO surprised me with the date night package at Wake--I had been in to purchase products from them (10/10 would recommend), but it was my first time getting a service. We were so pampered the entire time we were there--they have alcohol available to purchase, and the tea and truffles were wonderful! Our soak started with a warm neck wrap, followed by a foot/leg massage and neck and shoulder massage. Our massage therapists were so nice and were able to adjust to our pressure preferences. They are happy to make conversation or let you relax quietly. Since I didn't know where we were going on our date, I had my hair down and styled. My therapist was very considerate and made sure not to get shea butter in my hair during my neck massage--she had a soft hair tie to hold it up and everything! Pro tip, they told me that if you come in wearing skinny jeans or pants that don't roll up, they have wrap skirts you can borrow! They have thought of everything. I will definitely be back for foot soaks! Also worth mentioning, I have eczema on my hands and traditionally can't use scented soap (even the hand soap from young living makes my hands break out after a couple uses). I bought the lemongrass Wake hand soap a while ago to try and after multiple weeks of use, my hands are fine. Their in-house products are clearly great quality and are also reasonably priced. read more

I'm not sure I can sing enough praises for this place! My friend and I walked in after a long morning of cleaning and painting. We were exhausted, but needed to bounce back for a fun night ahead. Wake was booked, minus a narrow window with some slight flexibility. The GM graciously agreed to take us back. We were given slippers, taken to a quiet room with two chairs and served hot mint tea. When the large bowls for our feet were brought out, she gently lifted our legs into the water that might as well have been heaven and gave us a warm neck wrap. I immediately melted in my chair and fell asleep. I napped on and off the whole time, feeling like my body was getting exactly what it needed. The GM checked on us appropriately, even offering to warm our water. While there are options for added massage, that I will do next time, I realized this is the ideal spa experience for someone who prefers to not be touched. We left with cute little gift bags of yoga mat spray, bath gel and bath salt. This was a special touch! They offer a deal for locals on Tuesdays, and you better believe you will be able to find me there! read more

So worth the price!!!! The add on message is soooo worth it!!! Go for the 40 minute option! The soak was relaxing and hot! They were able to answer any questions I had and made me feel so comfortable. The chairs were comfy and they keep it very private and covid safe! I will be back! read more

My bestie and I returned to Wake Spa for a Date Night package. I can't say enough about this place. The service was great from the front desk to the massage therapists. They are very detailed when you are making your reservation. (Which I highly suggest) We arrived 20 minutes early (they said 15 but we were excited) and changed into our slippers. We ordered two different teas to pair with our tea cookies. (which I absolutely love! Hint: Try the chocolate peanut butter or the blueberry lemon) We started with our foot and lower leg massage and ended with our head, neck, and shoulder massage. The therapists were great about checking in with us to see if the pressure was good. I cannot recommend this spa enough. We purchased several retail items to restock our supply. (I'm partial to the muscle spray) I saw a post that mentioned getting gift bags. Just to clarify, no service comes with gift bags. And tea cookies do have crumbs lol. It was definitely a positive experience. Even the most negative person could somehow find bliss if they would get out of their own way and relax. Happy soaking! We will definitely return! Until next time! read more

Wake Foot Sanctuary - Amazing foot soak - Day Spas Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We just happened by this place quite by accident while taking in the sights on the 'painted alley' behind Market Square. Then a friend of ours visited the Spa in Asheville, NC and told us that we should give it a try. So, we booked an appointment and was excited for our visit. When we arrived and checked in at the desk, we were met with confusion. Evidently, the person who scheduled our reservation had not done it right. The GM came out and told us that she would still make our reservation happen. Since we were doing the Spa package ' Date Night', we were told that we each got to pick out just one small sugar cookie each. (the package description says that hot tea and delectables are included) We were escorted into a room that was sectioned off into two rooms by thin sheer curtains. Two large chairs were in each section. The chairs were quite large, square in shape, with straight backs and way to firm to be comfortable. You couldn't recline at all, and the chair all but swallowed me up! The large bowls of fragrant hot water were rolled in and our feet gently lifted by the attendants and placed inside to soak. A tray was delivered with a small pot of tea, two small round vessels to pour it in and yes, three small sugar cookies. They told us that they were giving us an extra cookie that we could share!! As you can see from the picture - they were crumbly and didn't break well at all. We were given 10 minute leg & foot massage on each leg, and 10 minute massage on neck and shoulder. The pressure was no where near firm enough, and I sank so low into that large chair that the neck & shoulder massage was not great either. I can't blame the weak massage on the therapist, since it was really hard to even reach my neck & shoulders!! We were not given a gift bag as some mentioned in their reviews. $190.00 for the two of us was quite pricey for what we experienced. read more

Sanctuary says it all! From the moment you cross the threshold you can feel your tensions ease, your blood pressure slow, and relaxation seeping into your bones. The staff is warm and welcoming, happy to explain anything and help you choose your soak. And that is all before you walk thru the curtains into to soaking rooms. Easing into to comfortable chairs, then having your feet gently lowered into beautiful copper tubs. Herbs and oils gently caressing you, it's pure bliss. I added the head, neck and shoulder massage and it was perfection. Kristale was amazing both in her talented massage techniques but also in the way she made my friend and feel at peace. We WILL be back, and I can't wait. read more

This was an absolutely delightful massage experience, one I've never experienced before. I booked the getaway package which included a luxurious foot soak, foot and leg massage, scalp massage and shoulder massage. I was in heaven the whole time. I highly recommend booking a massage here. I'll definitely be back. read more

Selfishly, I have been hesitant about writing a review because I love this place SO much. This is truly an escape for me. Once I'm inside the Wake Foot Sanctuary, I allow myself to be transformed by the ambiance of the place. You won't find distractions like phones or loud talking and I appreciate that. The soaks are amazing and the person I see there is amazing. I won't see another therapist! Again, being selfish, I don't want to tell which therapist I see because then she will stay booked! Okay, her name is Lisa...she is my favorite!! Although some therapist can add pressure when requested, this is not that kind of establishment...it's more for relaxation. Honestly, I have never been disappointed with any service and if you like to relax and take a reprieve from the day's stress, you won't be disappointed either. Give them a try! read more

walking in place was clean and organized but things quickly changed with attitude of I think manager we asked to modify and she seemed almost annoyed.. the massages were good but took to long between foot and hand massages and I think my massage therapist was checking her phone.. anyways I wouldn't recommend the place for the price and what you get. lots of potential read more

Exceptional massage and excellent customer service. I cannot say enough good things about Wake. My escape- the ambience is soothing and relaxing. The entire staff is very attentive and friendly. Ask for Lisa she is the best. I always leave feeling relaxed. Lots of different soaks and packages to chose from to find what is right for you. I love the different tea options. read more

I recommend this as a nice treat for knoxville locals- or for people staying downtown who can get an appointment. Especially liked that I could add a shoulder and neck massage while soaking, so good for people who like massages but not whole body. Prepare to relax and sit quietly while soaking. Two rooms, covid safety compliant and masked. Thank you to lisa for the massage, I felt relaxed and refreshed. read more

Visited Wake Foot Sanctuary over the holiday season and it was so incredibly relaxing. Hubby and I made an appointment for soaking and massage and walked out like wet noodles we were so without stress. The overall ambience is quiet and calming and the folks who work there are also. Very good experience and will be going back. read more

I'm already a fan of Wake Spa in Asheville so the bar has already been set high. I am happy to report that my expectations were met and exceeded at each of my two visits. As a local spa lover, I'm so thrilled to add this place to my rotation. Step into this sanctuary nestled off of Gay Street and enjoy the calm that a relaxing soak provides. I recently tried out the Smoky Mountain Memories package (January special) and was so happy that I did. The total experience of soaking my feet in the woodsy aromas, enjoying a pot of tea, and the massage by Rebekah was everything I needed to feel refreshed! Definitely looking forward to see what special February has to offer! read more

This hidden gem more than exceeded my expectations. For someone who may be uncomfortable with traditional massage/spa treatments, this checks all the boxes. A quiet room with a comfortable chair, a large soaking tub for your tired feet, a pot of tea, a heated neck wrap, and your choice of massages, if you want to add it on during your soak. I can't say enough about Alex, the massage therapist who gave me a scalp, neck and shoulder massage. I can't ever seem to receive the right amount of pressure--firm enough to feel the massage but not so hard that it is no longer relaxing--but Alex was spot on. When my friend and I left, I was tempted to plop down my credit card and walk right back in! I can't wait to go back. read more

Divine! I came for the first time with a friend who has been several times before and had highly recommended a visit. It was a great morning out! The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, the spa was clean, and the staff was both professional and kind. I chose The Melt soak with an added head/neck/shoulders massage. Oh my! The whole experience was so very relaxing. This was some wonderful self-care! I'll be back! read more
