Buckhead Grand Spa — Local services in Atlanta

I really hoped to get a great experience but unfortunately I can give only 2 stars to this place. I've been in many spas and usually, when you come in, you get to take a shower to feel fresh before your appointment starts, also, it will be up to you to take a shower after. Unfortunately, the room where I got my massage looked like a little storage closet. It didn't have a shower or any spa essentials to take a makeup off etc. I was trying to ignore it and just get to my massage. My masseuse was a really nice woman but i didn't feel like she knew what she was doing. She "pat" my back a little, burned my skin with very hot stones and put enormous amount of oil on the entire body. I was just laying there and waiting for it to be over. When the massage was finally over, i asked if I can take a shower. Came out that there is only one room with a shower and it was already occupied by a client. I was wondering if they suggest me to wait but they were just so ready for me to pay and leave. When I left, I felt extremely disappointing. I had to cancel a meeting with my friend because I just couldn't meet her while my entire body was dripping with oil. My dress absorbed it as well and now I can't wash it off. My hair was oily and in general, I felt nasty. I don't think that is how you are supposed to feel when you are leaving spa. I don't want to come to that...

I would HIGHLY recommend this place!!! From the minute you walk in, the environment AND the people are both welcoming, calm, and serene. The ambiance is everything; so much so that you instantly forget that you’re in Atlanta, lol. I first went there last month for a couples massage and it was AMAZING!!! We both had a deep tissue massage and when we left it felt like we were floating (that’s how effective they were in releasing ALL of the tension out of our bodies, lol, and might I add that I had A LOT of tension because I only had 1 massage in my entire life prior to that visit, and it was over 6 years ago :-( ) My boyfriend is over 200 lbs and he said that his masseuse, Belan (I may have spelled that wrong), worked him out and was amazing!!! My masseuse was Mei and when I say that she did her thing, I mean SHE.DID.HER.THING!!!! I was soooo pleased that I had to get her name because I KNEW I would be back and I was; I went back this morning *happy dance!!! I live all the way in Buford, but the 40 minute drive and the price WELL WORTH IT!

I actually didn’t want to write a review about Mei in fear that it may fill up her calendar even more, lol, which may make it difficult for me to get in, lol. But I just can’t be selfish and keep her all to myself. This will be my once a month self care treat...

I took my younger sister here for her college graduation gift, hoping it would be a perfect day. To my disappointment, this spa day turned into a miserable experience. After booking for a massage and facial for each of us, the lady doing her my sister's facial added 4 "add on" services to her facial without asking either of us. I feel she took advantage of a young girl having her first facial. Then she and the owner lied and disputed it implying she had asked for it. These "add on's" added $150 to our bill. Additionally, my facial was not very good.....my skin seemed exactly the same when I got home, as it did before I went there. I've had a facial before at Spa Sydell, and it left my skin radiant. This place....not even close. The massage was mediocre. I've had better massages for much less. It was weak and she didn't even touch my back....only my shoulders. I read lots of good reviews, which is the reason I chose this spa, but I only feel cheated and disappointed. This place is overpriced, dishonest, and just not very skilled in their services. I also think there is a language barrier between the staff and the clients. Save yourself the trouble and go...
