Reviews of Massage Envy - Asheville South (Massage Therapist)

Lisa Smith

I am a new member at Massage Envy Spa and I am really enjoying being pampered each month. The atmosphere is calming and it is a real mini-retreat from the stresses of life. Rose has been awesome at the front desk and Patti has been ironing out the kinks in my tired, old body!! I just got a facial today with Nikki and that really fed my girlie side. I'm glad I decided it was worth treating myself!

Nancy Jones

I had an appointment which I needed and was looking forward to badly. My cat had died that week, I was hurting due to wk, and I had gone to my dr for a shot of Toradol. This is non narcotic anti-inflammatory med. I had the injection 3 -4 hrs prior to my massage, but she refused to give me the massage, because of the Toradol. Really, is she a dr.? My Dr said it would be fine. I will never go back there. I was contemplating joining so I could get a discount for a massage once a month but I've taking my business elsewhere.

Lyn Christen

Everyone here care about everyone who comes thru the door!! My therapist Andrea is beyond AWSOME !!!!

Judy Rose

Other worldly!!! Marvelous therapists! They understand your needs and follow through with expertise. It's the only 90 minute period in my week that is absolutely perfect!

Beth Packer

Excellent massages, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly staff. However, prices seem a bit high.

Massage Envy South Rocks!!! I was a member Massage Envy in Largo, Florida many years ago and was really excited when one opened here in Asheville. I have been a member here for over a year and all of my experiences have been very pleasant and positive. From the time you walk in the door until you leave, you are encouraged to relax and great care is taken to help you do this. The ambience is wonderful with lots of special touches to encourage de-stressing. The folks at the front desk are always extremely polite, helpful and attentive. The massage therapists that I have seen have all been excellent. From what I can tell, Massage Envy only hires skilled professional that have been doing massage and healing work for a while and truly enjoy what they do. I have received several types of work to include energy work, deep tissue massage and a sugar foot scrub and I always leave feeling completely relaxed and satisfied. I highly recommend Massage Envy South and encourage those who haven't checked it out, to do so. You will not be disappointed. Becky Donald - member

The massages are amazing and the staff go above and beyond to make your experience positive!! Definitely recommend Massage Envy

Jay Pryor

I had gotten a free massage, where a member/my friend paid $10 to transfer a massage to me. They already knew my name when I called. First available for the type of massage Desired/THEIR suggested person was 12 days that also fit my schedule. Recieved reminder call day before scheduled appointment. Go in, fantastic massage by Tara! On my way out, they explained that the credit from transfer expired, and that I had to pay $55 for the massage because I didnt use by the expiration date. "But the first available wasn't until today!" "I'm very sorry sir" "Was this not checked before I went back today?" "I'm very sorry sir, I've emailed our team and corporate so that this doesn't happen again, im very sorry" I paid 55 so I could leave. After tipping more than I normally would, simply due to thinking it was a free massage. Well- I couldn't say "oh let me get some of my tip I left". THEN they tied to sell me a membership. I declined. And they asked the audacity to ask: "What's holding you back?" I replied with "todays charge!" I will NOT be back, and will not accept a transfer for a "free" massage there again. *update* I have since recieved a replacement massage to "make things right". I made sure 3x beforehand that it was no charge.Didnt try and sell me anything additional. Nice second visit. Updated from 1 to 3star.

Jennifer Mckinley

Great place!! First visit everyone was really friendly and helpful. They are affordable and knowledgeable. Every person in there was extremely friendly. The center is located in a shopping mall. Plenty of parking. Easy to get to with great hours! It was clean and comfortable. They were very up to date on their information and even followed up with me! This place is awesome no other place can compare. Also it’s walk in no appointment times to follow.

Laura Harke

I've now had two pre-natal massages at this location (with two different massage therapists), and they've both been great. I don't have to wait long once I arrive. The front desk workers are friendly and courteous. The massages have been relaxing and well-done. It can be difficult to get an appointment if you're booking less than a week ahead of time, but that probably speaks to the quality of this location. They're also not super pushy about making new appointments or buying products when you're on your way out, which is something I appreciate.

Luke Gurney

The only thing to Envy is the person that’s not stuck in a contract with this company. I had the misfortune of signing a contract with this company and hated every day of it. I should be able to gift as many massages that I paid for to my friends and family but according to the contract I couldn't do that and they refused to make an exception. I was told the wrong date that my contact would expire and as a result wasn’t able to use $300 worth of massages I had already paid for. This location has more turnover than McDonalds so don’t expect to see the same person twice which says a lot about the management style. This place is definitely the first stop for masseuses after they graduate school, once they get some experience they move onto places with better pay. NEVER EVER EVER sign a contract with Massage envy.

Dealing with the managment team is awful. They do not return your phone call. There are way better places to get massages at a great price. I will cancel my membership as soon as they call me back. They are just out for money. Turn over in therapist is a large amount. Front office staff is rude. I do not recommend this company at all.

Kathryn Lanier

Massage Envy's front desk associates are personable and efficient. I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I have had a facial and two massages and both experiences were super. The thing I like most about my experiences is the willingness of the therapists to listen to what I want and what I need. They are also very compassionate.

Andrew Waters

The service is amazing. The therapists are very professional and masters of their craft!

Victoria Millsap

Quite literally just stepped foot out of this place. Had a handful of massages with M.E at this location. Hands down (ha) the best massage I have had was from Becca. Thorough as hell, personable, and super knowledgeable about her field. She didn't just give a massage- that was a strategic treatment. You rock Becca

Savio Fernandes

Great couples massage ... Professional staff &courteous. Will definately be going back here Massage Envy south.

Gwendolyn Karber

I ended up needing a massage after my massage. I was in so much pain the next day

Ashley Walker

I have to say I love my monthly massages, esp at this location! Since becoming a new mom and after being gifted a massage for my birthday about 6 mo ago, I decided to become a member since it would "force" me to do something nice for myself once a month. I tend to carry alot of stress=pain in my upper shoulders so each time my appointment rolls around, I'm really looking forward to it . Sometimes I wish the member program was a little more flexible in terms of being able to skip a month, but I have to admit, every time go, I leave SO relaxed and laugh at myself for always forgetting what an extremely rewarding experience it is! The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the therapists are all varied but after seeing 3-4 different ones, I've decided to stick with Michael. He is my absolute favorite! He gives an extremely professional, relaxing massage, and I can't help but smile from ear to ear while I'm laying there. I told him he's like a ninja. haha. really tho, every movement has so much intention and I get chills everytime! I have a new respect for massage therapy as a whole now, you can tell it is an art form and these people really know their stuff! I was also really pleased that they let me use a free voucher for a facial on my mom who was visiting from out of town. That was an added bonus as she thought it was incredible! For facials, I recommend Amy! She's awesome!

Kelly Rodriguez

I received a gift package from there and loved the experience. I had the hot stones massage and my massage therapist was polite, respectful and totally understanding. If I lived closer I would go back more often!

Cori Giuliani

Best gift I ever gave to myself was a membership to ME South AVL!!! In my line of work, my muscles get very tight and coming to ME is like therapy for me. Christy is THE BEST there is, as evidenced by her “fully committed” schedule...so my advice is to book with her anytime she has an opening!!! You will not be sorry!!! Highly recommend!!!

William McCabe

Sell sell sell... then maybe a decent massage. This is massage Walmart style. Do yourself a favor and shop with a local professional

Nakia Alexander

The staff was friendly! My massage was awesome! Definitely going back in the future!

Claire Birkham

Never have gotten a massage from here, but they carry Murad so I go there to buy skin care products. The front desk staff are helpful and always polite and kind. There is a particular young man, I believe his name is Bo... he is always so helpful and sweet (he's not too hard on the eyes either! LOL) I would recomend them at least for skin care needs!

Shana Fox

Massage was amazing! The only issue I had was how they seemed to want to sale you everything it took just as long for me to listen to the sales pitch as it did to get my massage. I signed up for a membership because I get massages on a regular basis so it was worth the money and it's close to my work. I just wish they would focus more on relaxing client experiences and not so much of the sales. I also loved the fact they had handicapped employees this showed their open minded and I highly respect that.

Katie Norris

Amazing experience! It was my first time getting a massage and everyone was so incredibly kind, laid back, and casual. They really focused on making sure I was comfortable for my first experience and you best believe I was! 10/10 100% recommend them. Very kind people!!! Let me add that my masseuse was Rachel and she was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable and really relaxed.

Betsy Benson

Excellent treatment, personnel staffing. My therapists has been great. Nothing bad to say about my service.

Mya Malone

I always enjoy my time at massage envy! The staff are very friendly and professional. I personally recommend Paul and Christina!

Deborah Krueger

Relaxing!

Julie R

It is so easy to get an appt because they have so many therapists on staff. And, they are open 7 days a week! Clean, convenient, reliable.

Tatyana M

Great experience at this spa!!! Staff is so friendly and kind.

Anne Henschel

My therapist is always extremely attentive to my needs. Those greeting me at the desk are helpful and friendly. Well priced!

Jeanne Hansen

Loved my massage at Massage Envy Spa - Asheville south! Heated massage table, deep tissue therapeutic massage and aromatherapy with lavender - what a special treat! I have had shoulder pain and this helped so much that I set up another appointment for next month. This is one of the best massages that I have ever had - Amanda was wonderful! I would recommend this massage to anyone!

Kathryn Smith

Front desk staff takes great care in making sure you are taken well care of, had the best massage and facial. Walked away feeling relaxed and glowing. A wonderful experience.

Robin Foust

Loved it...Thank you!!

Kathryn Wilson

Great massage!

Tarah Grillo

I had a great experience here. I decided to get a massage on a whim & had never been to a massage envy before. Being in the spa industry myself, I was skeptical. This establishment did not disappoint. I loved being able to book immediately online. I’m a huge fan of online booking. The receptionist was very thorough with my intake & my therapist Robert delivered one of the best & most healing massages I’ve ever had. I will definitely be going back to see Robert again! I was highly impressed.

JoAnn R.

I've never had a bad massage experience here, great people and great relaxing atmosphere!

elita Stamp

- I was injured by a massuse at this spa.

Calvin Hensley

Great massage great staff

Michelle Dorf

Had a great experience. Staff were all very happy, helpful and professional. Robert Bruce is an excellent massage therpist. I enjoy his work and knowledge. I prefer medium to deep tissue and he accomodated my needs and I left there relaxed and loosened in the areas that needed it most, my neck and shoulders. Great experience overall. Looking forward to the North Asheville location opening in June 2015

Holly .Cafaro

I will NEVER do business with this awful company again. Although the services they offer are great and I was extremely pleased with the massages and facials I received. The business they do is very shady! They were extremely unprofessional and IGNORED my email when I tried to give them a chance to make things right. I feel robbed by them. I paid for a service I never received. I signed up for a three month contract where I would receive one service a month. I was never told that you had to pay to get out of the contract. A $59.50 fee which you could credit towards a massage or facial. They told me I had until the end of January to use it. I called to schedule an appointment and they told me it had expired. Go somewhere local and don't waste your time on this greedy corporate place.... So disappointing...

V B

Nice, but lacks more spa like qualities like dim lights and meditation music.

Erica Carroll

Would give them zero stars if that was an option.

Marion Baker

I have muscle knots, and have been going to the Asheville Massage Envy now twice a week for over a month. WOW what a difference they have made in my recovery... now starting once a week next week and love everyone there and the help they have made so I can function again.

sherry henline

I was given an hour massage by one of my coworkers to try out Massage Envy. I was given a tour when I arrived for my massage. I became a member after my first massage and have returned for another massage. Krisztina is an awesome therapist and we made an instant connection the first time. My knee feels the best it has felt in over a year and I don't feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. I look forward to being able to run again. The front staff worked to fit my schedule and make sure I get to continue to see Krisztina.

Luann Street

I really enjoy the Massage Envy experience. Their prices and plan help me with my wellness program. Their therapists are excellent and I like that their are a variety to experience to help you find your perfect massage fit.

Brenda Ramsey

Great massage, just wish I could get there more often

merrill kramer

Great massage and good new client discount

Heather Port

My husband, daughter, and I are all members at Massage Envy. We all have our favorite massage therapists and love having the ability to schedule massages whenever we need them. The hours are great! My daughter is a severe migraine sufferer who has been helped greatly by massage. We are so thankful this office is here in Arden and enjoy the special care given by all the team members.

roshni barot

Love my massage therapist Hollie. She is best.

Carla Shorts

In Asheville, there are so many better places to have a quality massage at an affordable price. I got talked into a membership at Massage Envy and really regret it. This franchise has a ton of issues that have been made public in the past year, including sexual assault. This particular location seems to be very poorly run and the employees are constantly turning over. As soon as you find someone you like, they quit. At the time of this review, there is a TWO WEEK wait to get a facial. Thankfully with a doctors note, the membership can be canceled.

Kim Jenkins

Terrible management!!!!! The therapist are awesome, but the management and receptionist are very unprofessional and rude. Would definitely not recommend this location!!!! After attempting to contact the Manager, requesting the District Manager and being told that this establishment is private--I decided to update my feedback to "Hated it". I have contacted the Corporate office both by phone and email--but as of yet I have not been able to talk to a person. I guess I will be forced to make a claim at the Better Business Bureau. Worse Customer Service ever!!!!

Katherine Rathbone

My name is Katherine Rathbone I have used this spa for 2 years .I have called 3 times to have my account stopped and sent a fax to them just today and can not get a answer or replay from them at all. I have been on hold with them since Oct 2014 and I want to stop the withdraw from my bank account. When I call I am told the manger is busy or not there at all and will get back with me but she never does . My husband Ken Rathbone is trying to get the same thing done with no response. They are rude and make you fill like no big deal your problem . I want my account with them stopped I am under no contract with them now and neither is my husband . I do not want them to take any more money out off my account and I have given them plenty off notice . Do not sign a contract with this spa because they will not stop withdrawing from your account even if you ask and your contract is dead.

Lisa Bradford

The services were very professional. Drove to the location for the appointment and had to wait about an extra 25 minutes due to the schedule having some issues but other than that the service was fantastic. The massage therapist was wonderful. I would recommend.

Penny Gamblin

Excellent massage. Good people service. They listen to what you want and hook you up. Great services beside massages. Facials with excellent products

Lynda Jaeger

Carmen gave me an awesome facial today! Just the basic one with the add-on eye treatment ( I highly recommend that). Front desk and reception we're friendly and professional. Love this place!

Beth Isaacs

I will be canceling my account. If Massage Envy South Asheville continues to fraudulently try to continue charging me, I will spread the news all over town; I know lots of people here. Exposure of this shady practice will only backfire for them.

Catherine McCarthy

I always look forward to my monthly massage. It is a clean location with very friendly reception staff and solid massage therapists. Totally worth the membership!

Norma Capps

My contract is over and they keep taking money out of my account. The manager promised me it would not happen again and it just keeps happening.

Bharata Ishaya

This may be the BEST Massage Envy location I have ever been to!! I have been a Massage Envy member since early 2008 and have been to at least 7 different locations in three different cities across the country. All of the locations were acceptable to me, but I have never experienced such a consistently high level of excellence as I have at this location. EVERYONE from the front desk staff to the therapists are exceptionally talented at what they do. I have never had a mediocre massage here, they have all been FANTASTIC!! And the front desk staff are super efficient and crazy friendly. Give this place a try, you will LOVE it!!

Casey Robinson

Best place with the most reasonable prices

Lynda Saffell

Beautiful facility! I was impressed with the serene waiting room with cucumber water and soothing music.

Christian Frazier

The customer service at this location is horrible. Try using the location North location.

Mitchell Cole

Very professional, friendly, and clean. I really have enjoyed every massage I have gotten here. I have been getting massages nearly every month for the last 5 years since I had an accident. The therapists here are exceptional and very attentive to my focus areas. I just had Brittney (sp?) for the first time as my therapist. She litteraly gave the best massage I have had. The rest of the therapists are great too. The customer service here is top notch as well. Good job guys keep it up

Wallace Shealy

I am so tempted to lie and not tell you that Chris and Holly are amazing just so I can keep them for my massages. This has to be one of the top rated Massage Envy locations.

Victoria Vaughan

I love Massage Envy. I go about once a month for the best 60-90 minutes of my month =) The employees are super calming and helpful. The therapists are wonderful. I even had my first, and definitely not last, facial here. Thanks Massage Envy~!

Kayla Hardin

First time getting a massage in many years. Had a fantastic experience all the way around. Everyone was super nice and professional. My therapist Cory was AMAZING! I suffer from bad posture and after my hour long session I walked out of there feeling the best I had in a long time. Can't wait for my next visit!

Frances Johnson

The staff are very professional. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing establishment. I plan to stay a member for years to come.

Danae Aicher

The stretching service (followed by a massage) is the best!

Caitlyn Bennett

Absolutely in love with Massage Envy Spa. Booking appointments is super easy. Staff is always friendly. Masseuse really listens and works on my problem areas. A totally relaxing environment. I'm always recommending Massage Envy to my friends. I'm always happy to return.

Shaina Cole

Excellent service, attention to detail and massage! They make you feel as if you are in a high end spa and personalize your entire experience. Love them! Best Massage Envy I've been to yet.

Amber Kirby

Worst massage I have ever received. I do however appreciate being able to come in same day. I had requested lavender aromatherapy which wasn’t used. I did receive it after my massage once the girls up front gave it to me. The front desk is very nice. I will definitely not be back.

Richard Eisen

Great staff

Grant Hearing

Best place ever to get a massage! They make you feel very comfortable with your experience. They are very professional and Always work on the problem areas you may have. They also give general messages that leave you so relaxed. I highly recommend them.

Jeff Lamey

The therapists here are awesome!!! Went in with muscles so tight my hand was going numb. An hour session and I could actually move again. The staff is personable and professional. I will be returning.

John Jordan

Great staff! Amazing manager. My massage and facial were fantastic❤

Robin Roll

I have been a long time customer of Massage Envy in South Asheville. I am very happy with their services & their business. It is a great relaxing experience & I always see my favorite, who I think is the best, Amy Lee. It is a wonderful 90 minute experience. I highly recommend it.

Kieta Lanford

My husband and I received a tour of the entire spa. We were treated quite professionally,yet,on a very personal level. The massages were wonderful. The atmosphere is awesome.

Susan Kosma

Another excellent massage today. Always pleased with the professionalism, relaxing atmosphere, and friendliness of all the staff. The therapists are top-notch. And, they're adding a location on Merrimon soon!

Sara Perez

I and a wonderful massage! Very friendly staff.

Mickey Phillips

My wife and I were on vacation and after being the car for some time, my wife suggested I get a massage to help. I arrived at this location, and the front desk were very attentive as soon as I walked through the door; which surprised me because I have been to quite a few massage places and I feel as though it is never professional. The young lady introduced me to my therapist and I was asked beforehand where and what spots or problems I was having.. This enough let me know they were not just about "taking my money" but really wanted to help me solve my muscle and back issues. This was probably one of the best massages I have had yet, and I have had quite a few over the years.The management really has a hold over their staff here and it's clear from the time of walking through the door, until it's time to leave. I can say one thing I will be coming back and recommending this clinic to everyone that visits the area.

b w

The front desk is always so helpful and friendly. Might just be best customer service I have ever received. India is especially great at the front. Massage therapist Brittany is terrific and always very consistent, every session I leave feeling like a new person. The atmosphere is great and always very clean. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
