Adara Spa

I booked a day at Adara for my 1yr anniversary with my girlfriend. We had facials, massages, scalp massage, manicure, and elaborate nail art as well as a Brazilian which was not at all uncomfortable. Everything was amazing! Each massage was tailored to our needs and they took the time needed to fully relax and rejuvenate us. They even prepared flowers and chose some delicious chocolates for us at the end of the services. It was an all-around fantastic time. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ There was a bit of telephone tag to get everything figured out, but they were super helpful along the way.

I am super delayed in leaving this review, but last November my mom, my sisters, and I spent the day at the spa for my mom’s 65th birthday. It was a wonderful experience. We felt very taken care of from the moment we walked in and all of the services we received exceeded our expectations. That was seriously one of the best massages I have ever gotten, and I need to prioritize going back for another visit soon. I also have a very serious HEMA allergy that prevents me from using any type of gel-based nail products. I learned about a new non-toxic line during my appointment and I’m glad to be able to get my nails done again without worrying about a reaction.

Spa day with my ladies for a bachelorette! We got manis, pedis, facials and massages. Tinja was our masseuse and has a gift from God. She is intuitive, hardworking, technical, and finds knots that I didn’t know existed. She was excellent, and I may come back for a monthly package. The facial was 30min or 45min out of the ones we chose, but minus one star because it was very general. Sunny did pamper us with some extra massages during the facial. *Overall, the massage is to come back for. Would highly recommend Tinja.

Sunny is amazing in making my nails look like a million bucks . She did the Dazzle Dry which is a polish that lasts like gel, doesn't require buffing of the nails, and is removed with regular fingernail polish remover. Dazzle Dry lasts for weeks with no chipping and dries in 5 minuted. Best manicure hand down !

My experience getting a manicure at the spa was not great. As I sat down, the manicurist immediately began peppering me with questions. The conversation started to feel more like an interrogation at one point, making it difficult to relax into the experience. And as she began working on my nails, she insulted me, saying "no offense, but don't quit your day job" as she was working on my nails (mind you, this was my first experience at this Spa.) I had quickly removed overgrown tips, so my nails were pretty rough, I'll admit. But there was no need for her to insult a paying client, even jokingly. I'd originally gone in for a gel-X manicure, but upon seeing the nail tech struggle to get the tip on my pinky finger, I told her we should try a different manicure. We decided on a hard gel overlay, which the manicurist said was her specialty. But my manicure is very thick and lumpy. I paid full price for the gel overlay, which I found interesting considering the fact that I had to change the manicure type because the manicurist was so bad at gel. X. I feel like I should have at least gotten a discount due to the manicurist's incompetence. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Adara Spa.

I’m super excited about my birthday nails this year. Just had my nails done by Sunny but my nail art done by Lee. I showed her my vision and she created it to a T. Could not be more happier about my nails this year. Thank you ladies for always taking care of these hands.

My husband booked a surprise massage for me while visiting Raleigh for the weekend. We arrived and were greeted and quickly started on-time with Tinja. What a wonderful massage on a warmed and comfy massage table. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect. 90 minutes of the perfect pressure and Tinja asked all the right questions and delivered a wonderful experience. Thank you Tinja & Sunny.
