Adara Spa

I was visiting Raleigh from New Jersey for the weekend and found Adara Spa on the spa finder website. My entire experience was perfection. I was greeted so warmly by Sonny, and truly treated like family during my visit. I suffer from Bell's Palsy, and booked a facial to help with the spasms on the right side of my face. Olivia had so much expertise on the subject, and honestly performed the most amazing facial that I have ever had. I would recommend this spa to anyone, and I look forward to visiting again in the future.

I hadn't found a place who could do my natural nails without wanting to cut them off, put fake nails on, or make them look horrible until I decided to give Adara Spa a try. Such an amazing place and it's all because of the staff. I'll recommend them to anybody. I haven't left disappointed since I've started going and for the first time since moving here 8 years ago I can make an appointment every two weeks now so that my feet and nails look great. Rosa is amazing with my nails and designs. I ALWAYS get compliments.

My best friend and I met up in Raleigh for a momcation, and we came to Adara for the full day pampering package plus a Brazilian. It was absolutely wonderful. Olivia the esthetician was hilarious and made us forget we were getting waxed. After Elizabeth and Nicole did our facials and massages, we forgot who and where we were; it was so relaxing. Then Sunny and Rosa did our mani pedis, and they were so fabulous.

Great ladies to talk with, we so enjoyed their company. Everyone at Adara is so personable and kind. We had an amazing experience! Will forever recommend. Do a full package to meet everyone on the team!

I had a massage appointment set up and so I thought. What I did online did not register on their end.(clearly I did not know what I was doing) Sonny was so accommodating, not only was my appointment not in the system but I was at the wrong location. They went ahead and saw me anyway and they had the masseurs come to where I was to do the service. Great, great customer service. I can't wait to go back again.

I've had several appointments at Adara Spa and was very satisfied each time. Everyone is very friendly, and I felt very welcomed. I also like the text reminders, which is handy. This will be my regular spa whenever I am in Raleigh.

Enjoyed my total experience at Adara Spa! Treated like a V.I.P. from booking the reservation through completing my appointment. First Class. Highly recommended for all!

I was amazed at the services I experienced at Adara. From my body melting massage to my lavish facial then an unforgettable Mani and pedi by three super friendly and very professional people; I will never forget that day and I will be back! Highly recommend all the services to be experienced. Its been two weeks and my nails are still as fresh looking and my feet are still soft. I'm definitely making time for a full day again soon. Thanks to you all for making it wonderful day. Even my lunch was delicious!

Was in town for a game but had some time to burn and the fine folks at Adara Spa squeezed a friend and I into their already busy day. I believed the owner stayed past her time off to help get us in and never once made us feel like a burden for doing so. Very nice down to earth staff would definitely visit again if in town.

This was my first experience at a spa and the bar was definitely set! Everyone greeted me when I first walked in and were engaged in conversation the entire time. Olivia was amazing when it came to my facial treatment. She handled her business when it came to me. Highly recommend her when you come through. Sunny (the owner) did my pedicure. We were talking like we were old friends and she walked me through the entire process of what she was doing. She was extremely knowledgeable and the entire spa was welcoming. If you haven't been here, you're definitely missing out! I will be returning soon :)

Perfect spa experience. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, I was instantly put into a relaxed mood. My pedicure was amazing and I can't wait to go back!

The professionalism and quality at Adara spa is unmatched. I come here for all my nails, feet, wax, massage, and hair services. The staff are pleasant and make you feel welcoming. They are excellent in all the services providers

My family surprised me for my birthday and gave me a day of pampering. This was something I have never done before. And I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The professionalism and caring nature of the staff. They made me feel welcomed and they calmed my nerves with what to expect. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I RECOMMEND THEM 100%. They are truly excellent and superb at what they do. I could not have asked for a better birthday gift.

Oh my God. It was my first massage ever, BELIEVE me. If I could leave 6 stars out of 5 I would. Elizabeth was amazing, all the staff actually. She took care of all my concerns and questions and oh boy she took care of my back and neck and I feel 10 years younger. All the staff was really nice and profesional. The place is really relaxing and clean. They really care about the whole experience. Definitely I'm coming back

WOW! I do not have words to describe how good is this place! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and I choose Massages By Adara Spa because a friend gave me the recommendation! We wanted something different and this was the perfect option! I got Mr Rahman and told him I have a lot of stress! He completely understand what I wanted. Also the receptionist was incredible and they even gave us a present for our anniversary! Thank you so much, we will definitely go back to this beautiful place!

The ladies at Adara are amazing! It was my first time getting a facial and pedicure, they made my experience great. It was a birthday treat and I'm glad this place was chosen. The environment and the staff all make you feel comfortable. The mimosas are also very good. I will definitely be back and will be recommending it to everyone I know who wants to treat themselves!

This establishment was everything I was looking for in a spa day. I got a reasonably priced package that included a wax, facial, massage, pedicure, manicure, mimosas, and lunch. The services were amazing and the hospitality of the staff was even better. Perfect for a self love day, a gift for someone, and a gurls day.

I had a massage and my first ever facial. The website was easy to use, and the business was very communicative through email prior to my appointment. Arriving at my appointment the environment was very clean and soothing. I was greeted immediately and the staff was very polite and professional. Both staff members who performed my services were very knowledgeable, clean, patient, and very great at their service! I will definitely return, and recommend others to visit Adara!

Had a wonderful day treated by my husband. He got me a package that came with the works! Destiny was AMAZING. She cared so much and really helped me relax even when my body fought it during my massage. I cannot recommend her enough. The facial, pedicure and manicure were also fantastic but when asked what was my favorite. Definitely Destiny. Will definitely be back to see her. Overall, great intimate spa with friendly staff.

Great atmosphere and great service! Shout out to Sunny! They've got a new customer for life!

I had a terrible experience just on the phone with the spa staff. In light of the Coronavirus outbreak and state of emergency being declared yesterday, I called to cancel my appointment. I explained I have family members with compromised immune systems and me getting a pedicure wasn't worth the unnecessary risk. She said "no one is sick here" and played it off. Right. because that's how social distancing works After initially saying I would still be charged they eventually agreed to let me reschedule for late April.

When the receptionist called me back to reschedule I could hear Aretha (manager I think?) who I had spoken with earlier. She said "Jasmine thank you for making this call, I didn't want to talk to her. Tell her I hope she doesn't get the virus" and they all started laughing. Completely unprofessional and rude. I would never frequent a place that badmouths their customers. Do not recommend.

I provided an overall experience about this spa which was not a good one (had to delete to post this one - but if you want to know about my experience, please feel free to reach out) and I was overcharged over $50 as I stated in my previous review. Instead of the business owner professionally contacting me to resolve, she decides to provide a breakdown for me via this app attempting to save face or make it as if there was no error on her part.

The overall package of my bill was $183. I provided a 50% deposit and paid the remaining $106. There was no need to discuss the bill further because I was supposed to be charged $106 however MY BANK CARD WAS CHARGED $166! Very unprofessional resolve of issue!

Sunny and her staff are welcoming and very nice. I needed my hair blow dried. The stylist was professional and did a great job. She respected my timeline and got me in and out quickly which I very much appreciated. I am sure I will be back there for other services.

Oh I LOVE Adara! I go for highlights, haircuts, eyebrow tinting and eyebrow waxing. Selena does an amazing job on my hair and she is absolutely meticulous! Sunny is sooo nice (the owner) and it's relaxing hanging out in a smaller salon. My husband actually goes to the same salon for services and loves it as well. So highly recommend for both ladies and men. The only negative I have is that the type of manicure they provide does not adhere well to my nails so I cannot recommend that service just based on personal experience.

First time here for a couples massage, facial, mani, pedi. Had specifically requested a swedish massage via online paperwork, and reiterated request of a VERY gentle massage (even less than swedish) upon start of massage. Having arthritis the last thing I wanted was elbows and forearms used on me. She told me this was her version of a swedish massage.

It was mostly elbows and forearms and so was not relaxing in the least, especially when she tried to move my arm so hand would rest on my back, as my shoulder is sensitive and this was not what I requested to her. My friend had same experience of massage that was just to rough. Facial was fine and relaxing. Mani pedi was fine/standard as well. My gel manicure lasted 6 days before 2 nails chipped & broke. The staff and owner are the bright spot here and would be thrilled to attend a first night event at the salon. They truly are a delight!

This spa is unassuming and smaller than I'd usually assume a spa would be but was absolutely wonderful. From the mimosa offered upon arrival to the masseuse asking a lot of questions & doing a fabulous job, this was a great experience. My friend and I chose this from the reviews as neither of us are from NC and we're here for girls weekend.

It didn't disappoint. We each had a facial, massage, mani & pedi. Each service was performed professionally and the atmosphere at the place was warm and welcoming. I'd recommend as it felt so homey and was busy and that's a sign of a successful business.

Great place! Great service. Will definitely come back. Always able to get an appointment and the value is great

Perfect massage by Nicole. They are off the beaten path but right in downtown, and from the moment you walk in you feel relaxed and welcome. Very friendly, always making sure the pressure was just right. I will be returning soon.

Rating: 4.5 I used groupon to get a facial with Leah Magner and I enjoyed it. Here is the summary of my experience: Pros: 1. Provides full 50 minutes service without wasting much time. 2. Very friendly and gentle. 3. Relaxing experience without much talking. 4. She gives awesome hand massage while you have face pack on instead of just waiting. 5. Ended massage with brief relaxing head massage. 6. Did not try to sell any products. 7. Puts some lip gloss on at the end of facial. 8.

Most importantly taking appointment is very fast and easy. Cons: 1. Place in itself is little small and congested ( can be overlooked since service is good). 2. I thought facial involves neck massage ( she did give nape massage but not on neck ) but then again everything else she did was good. Overall: I would go back for her!

The aura of this day spa is that of a gentle social ambiance. This day spa is small enough that staff will get to know your name if you become a regular. They are very friendly and greet everyone upon arrival (including their own staff). Got a set of lcn nails done here. I had a form applied to my natural nails for length. My gel nails look natural.

The shape and filed length of my gel nails is just what I wanted and requested. There could have been a bit more gel applied closer to the cuticle on each finger so the gap wasn't so obvious -- which made it seem as if I needed a fill-in immediately after having my nails done. In spite of that, my nails were still beautiful after curing under the LED light. Overall: good customer service, well-organized, nicely designed space & a variety of services to pamper you!

Everyone loves a clean kitty (Brazilian wax) and at Adara Spa, it does not have to be painful. Ms. Sunny makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in and she pays a lot of attention to detail. I love this place!

I purchanced a livingsocial for Adara and it was well worth it! It was my first time getting waxed and Sunny made it comfortable and informative. I would recommend people to go to Adara for their spa needs.

Sunny is great, been going here for several months now, always pleased she is very friendly and knows what she is doing. I have nail fungus and been using the Light Concept Nails over my 2 big toes as those nails were removed, they are AWESOME and I get the gel polish so it lasts for over 2 weeks too. Check them out you won't be sorry, they offer a lot of services included Massages, Facials and Waxing as well. I love their website and you can book your appointment online.

Great first visit! Bought livsoc deal.appointments can be scheduled online.nice. Very friendly. Email reminder. I arrived late, due to Raleigh Christmas parade traffic. Derrick still gave me the whole time, because he had no spot right after me. I am not promising that for you, but it was really nice for this one time. He did a nice job, was professional and friendly. Nice experience! So far so good! I bought a 3 pack massage livsocial deal. See my tip on how to get in.

My boyfriend and I went for a couple's day. Our microdermabrasion & pedicure was great. His body wax didn't go as bad as he thought (crybaby;)). Desiree & Sunny made us feel like regulars.& we plan on it! The ladies are more than cute faces. Go check out the staff!

The personal touch to this spa brings me back again and again. Sunny truly cares about her work and her clients, and it shows! I love my mani-pedis everytime I visit. If you're in Raleigh, check them out!
