My first Swedish massage - Precious was sweet and made the experience very relaxing and lovely. Staff had smiles and kind greetings. However, there is a large leak spot and mold/mildew on the restroom ceiling that needs to be repaired. As a guest, seeing that first thing was kind of gross and off-putting. Older buildings deal with these issues here and there, but it didn't just appear in a day or two. it's had some time to get to that point and I can't be the only one to have seen it.

My bf got me a spa package here. I loved the entire experience. The massage is the most affordable massage I have ever seen and was so amazing. The hair styling made me feel beautiful after getting a make up session. However, the soaking in the spa was lovely and knowing they offer services for cancer patients made me have an ever greater appreciation for this business. I hope to make it back soon.

The masusse took her time and was delicate. She would alert me eventide she applied different lotions and oils. Or when she was touching a different body part. The fruit cleansers they use during your facial smell like absolute heaven. I was completely relaxed and forgot about life situations for a moment. 5 stars for sure!

So lucky to have found this salon and spa! I came here by chance with my Mom and sister because our appointments in MI were canceled during the pandemic. They were able to accommodate us with less than a week's notice with multiple services. I have had facials for 10 years and none of them compare to Haley's! I could hardly stay awake, I was so relaxed.
While there, I inquired about salon services as my stylist recently changed professions. I was referred to Lauren. I have long, thick, curly hair. She is amazing with color and I have felt so great every time I walk out of there. I highly recommend this place for any of your salon and spa needs! Also, do yourself a favor and try their hydro tub. It was something interesting that I haven't seen many places and my goodness, everything stressful in life just melted away.

The lady who gave me a massage did pretty good.but a little to quick for me and I didn't like the fact that there was a laundry room in the room I was in and the washer was running The front desk lady had me waiting forever just to pay them to leave. they just were not warm there you know hospitality kind of low. and their tax was ridiculous which they don't tell you about till after it's time for you to pay at the end. $8 was added on to my bill. seems like they just want to get you in and get you out of there. but it wasn't a bad place just not my thing I didn't feel relaxed at all.

My grandma, sister, and myself came to Ahava yesterday for pedicures and we all really enjoyed our experience for the first time there. Diamond and Kiya were so sweet and did great jobs. Diamond was really detail-specific while doing my french pedicure. The spa itself was nice, clean, peaceful, and all of the other staff were friendly and helpful.

So I went to this spa because I've never been to one, my mom and my aunt went with me for my birthday. I got a facial, my hair, and makeup done. I did not feel rushed at all especially since I know they have other appointments. My facial was soooo relaxing, I've never had one and now I want to get more lol. My hair was cut exactly how I wanted, nothing more nothing less.
And she curled my hair beautifully. And my makeup was super cute! My mom and aunt also enjoyed their facials. I felt so taken care of, everyone was super nice and comforting. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you guys!

I would've gave the place 5 stars, but the front desk staff was a little difficult to work with. I had to wait to pay, a big amount, a while why the receptionist was on the phone. Overall, great experience. Hydro bath staff were very accommodating and polite. Message therapist was absolutely amazing, a very much needed message. I will definitely come back when in the area. Hopefully my therapist is still there. Great job.

Let me start by saying "keo" whom I had the pedi by is wonderful! great at what she does! my only 4starts come in more w/customer service. As I was glancing looking over what nail polish I would like "Lauren" rushes around corner to make sure she tells me that they are limiting hand touching on polishes so make sure the ones I touch I put on "her" desk so she can sanitize them!
Which I only had grabbed one! (due to COVID) which is really fine & I understand, but what I don't understand is as I am getting pedi a women, and women of Laurens' same race & what I figured out was her friend came in about 15min after me and was touching & grabbing several & lauren just looks at her & glanced at me and NEVER advised her of any of the policy that she told me! and the thing is she just let the ones that were touched and picked up just be put back on shelf.
Then they both continued to touch and grab several and just left put on shelf! hmmm cant make sense of this! Either post a sign or make sure you let all your customers aware of same policy/guidelines not just pick and choose who these rules are for, especially during this health war we are already fighting!

I was gifted the cherished package. I spent the entire day at this spa. I had a hydrotub, 30 min massage, facial, mani/pedi, makeup, and hair styling. I worked with 4 girls. They were all great! I have struggled to find a stylist for my hair for years and now I have to choose between the awesome woman with lots of experience and the mani/pedi tech still learning but who I absolutely adored.
I was so scared when I got there and left relaxed and feeling like a princess. They made me calm down from my nerves and enjoy the experience. I will def return. They are decently priced. The atmosphere was great. Everyone seemed to love their jobs. My hair never holds waves and they made it happen! Thank your Brandi, Courtney, Kai, and Saunya!

Pleasant experience. I got a massage and a mud wrap. The mud wrap was the best part of the experience, I didn't know what to expect but it started out strange since it feels like Ahava doesn't get many men in.besides that, the mud wrap was amazing, I felt tingly as it worked on my skin, which made me feel like it was helping my skin. Massage was ok, feel like my massage wasn't really "deep tissue" which is what I asked for, however I had an overall pleasant experience, would go back for services probably not a massage though.

Look elsewhere for pedicures. Today my husband and I went to ahava for a couples pedicure. Only to learn that because of a scheduling error on their part (the technician casually tried blaming us for the mistake) my husband wouldn't even be started until 40 minutes after his appointment time. And not seated next to me (due to a broken spa chair.) Yelling to him through our pedicures to communicate wasn't preferable, but not the worst thing in the world. Moving on.
My technician though very sweet, not only cut my toe, but gave me the sloppiest gel paint I've ever experienced in a professional salon. After asking her to fix the smudged gel she simply threw another coat on making it look extra thick and uneven. My husband, after waiting forty minutes after his scheduled appointment - was able to enjoy a 12 minute "pedicure". For 140 dollars, look elsewhere to treat your tootsies.

Visited Ahava Salon while visiting family in the area. My hair was driving my crazy and I could not wait to get back to Philadelphia to fix it. Kayla was my stylist and she is FABULOUS! Super friendly and very helpful with color, cut and style. I had been wanting bangs for a decade but never had the nerve to go for them. Kayla was very patient and encouraging, she cut a beautiful shaggy fringe for me and I am super happy with everything. Great cut and color, loving the bangs. Will definitely return when I visit again!

I've been to Ahava once and had a great experience. I needed a cut and mani/pedi for an upcoming wedding. I saw Sonya, who I tasked with not only seeing me as a new client, but also giving me something different. She did a great job. I've received so many compliments on my new style! I saw Sarah for my nails. She was professional and did a great job. I did classic polish (not gel). My manicure lasted almost two weeks, and my pedi still looks good at a few days shy of 3 weeks.

I've grown up having my aunt (a stylist) do my hair, so when I finally decided to find a salon you could say I was skeptical. My best friend referred me to Jayme- who could not have been more incredible. She knows exactly what will look good on you and is brutally honest. (And as a 22 year old who makes rash decisions, I'm grateful) After going to Ahava for awhile, I came to the conclusion that Jayme was usually pretty booked up and started going to Chelsea, who was training at the time.where do I begin.
Incredible person, incredible stylist. She literally could not do a better job with my hair. When I first got my bangs cut, she effortlessly made them EXACTLY how I wanted! I recommend absolutely anyone at this salon. A true gem of Toledo!

Ahava! You've saved my hair. More specifically, Chelsea saved my hair. I just moved to Toledo and was nervous about finding a new salon/stylist. Yesterday I called the salon at 9am. The receptionist was super nice! I told her I have super long blonde hair and needed a cut, but might have time for a color. She recommended Chelsea and got me in for a 10am appt.
The salon is well designed and sunny! I met with Chelsea right away. She brought me some coffee and then did a quick consultation. We ended up deciding to do color as well. She is very friendly and told me she has been with the salon for about 5 years! That's says a lot about both her as a stylist and about the salon. Anyway, my cut and color both turned out perfect!
I also observed the other customers while sitting there, and everybody seemed very happy and looked fantastic when walking out of there! Now, let's talk price. Coming from Chicago I was paying $125 for highlights, and about $65 for a haircut. Looking at Ahava's site, I expected to pay about $90 for highlights, and $35 for the cut. PLEASE note that I was excited about that price! HOWEVER, Chelsea informed me that A CUT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE FOR THE HIGHLIGHTS!
It only gets better. I went to use the restroom and saw a sign that there was a special for a free brow wax with any color service! To sum it all up in a neat little sentence: I feel like I hit the jackpot! Do yourself a favor and visit them. Can't wait to stop by again for a massage!

Ahava is a popular salon located in the Warehouse District of Toledo. Parking is free during downtown lunch hours, and you can usually get a spot. If you are unfortunate enough to go during, say, a Mudhen's game, as there are free lots about a block up the street as well as more on-street parking. This salon caters to women, so I recommend that if you are a man, you go to Elva (not because the other stylists aren't talented, but she seems to have a bustling male clientele, on the rare occasion I actually encounter a man there). What's cool about this place is that they often are open well into the evening for the post-work commute: Monday 12:00pm - 5:00pm (select services) Tuesday 11:00am-8:00pm Wednesday 9:00am-8:00pm Thursday 9:00am-8:00pm Friday 9:00am-6:00pm Saturday 9:00am-4:00pm This was great when I had a "real job" and could hop off the AW Trail for a quick cut.
There are plenty of awesome barbers in Toledo, such as the Golden Razor over off of Central near Cricket West or the West Toledo Barber Shop on Eleanor/Lewis. Most shutter their doors before the 9-5 types can get a haircut. The flexibility of Ahava is pretty good. If you want to roll the dice, they usually have a walk-in special, and that's fine. I'll gladly pay a few extra bucks for the consistency both myself and my partner have received from Elva, but everybody seems pretty pumped to be there. It's noisy: all of the stylists and customers seem to be regulars to one another. They will try to frame you with murder to get you to buy hair gel, but that's basically every salon.
