SKIN ESSENCE A DAY SPA REVIEWS
I highly recommend Lina for all of your skincare needs. I trust her more than myself when it comes to my skin. She’s so knowledgeable and willing to help you reach your skin goals. I had no idea where to start and I’m so grateful I found her spa. My skin has gotten much brighter, smoother and clear. After another spa cancelled on me last minute b/c the owner didn’t feel like taking in clients anymore, Lina saved my day. Without knowing me she booked me a last minute appointment and serviced me after hours. I haven’t looked at another spa since. I’ve been with her for over 4 years. 10/10 recommend. From chemical peels to brazilians.
Perfection! Lina spent time talking about how I wanted my eyebrows to look and selecting the right color. I was extremely nervous about the microblading process, but Lina’s attention to detail and meticulous focus put me at ease. I'll recommend Ms. Lina to all my family and friends.
Lina is the best! I've been a customer since 2020 and Lina has always been very professional! She made my first Brazilian so quick and painless. She also always helps me with any facial questions and/or products recommendations! Highly recommend this place.
I’ve known Lina since she started her spa in Raleigh..I haven’t seen her in years due to health issues..Taking her skills in skincare from her homeland in China, she is one of the best, in skin care knowledge..Lina would never leave any skin care treatment unfinished..Miss You Lina - Virginia P

WHITE DAHLIA REVIEWS
Love this place! Am super happy they are successful! Just hate waiting 8 weeks before their next opening. Got LUCKY yesterday, the awesome lady at the front desk had a cancellation for today, I moved stuff around at work so I could grab that appt! Colton is a fantastic masseuse! Will definitely be back, hopefully in fewer than 8 weeks.
Get a membership! Thank me later! White Dahlia is such an amazing place with a fabulous owner and staff that makes you feel like family. I've never had a bad service there. Massages, facials, lash lift and tint and laser treatments have all been wonderful. There are plenty of treatment rooms and it's so clean and relaxing. I have been a member for 3 years and don't see that changing anytime soon.
Only facial I received that I could actually see a really good difference! Facials anywhere are not that relaxing to me (but I'm weird). But I'm willing to undergo one if I get results like these! This place is very good - one of the best. Other established clients seemed very very happy here.

ADARA SPA REVIEWS
This spa is absolutely divine! I wanted to get a couples massage for my spouse’s birthday and wanted to support a black owned business as well. The spa was quaint and everyone was pleasant. Elizabeth did our massages and Luma did our facials. Both were excellent!! The price was worth the quality service we received. Booking over the phone was very easy and the man that helped me answered all my questions and was able to schedule everything around my schedule which was very accommodating.
Could not have asked for a better spa experience. Sunny and her team hosted our bachelorette party and made the afternoon easy to plan - they set up a schedule for our guests and provided snacks. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, exactly what the bride was looking for! My spa pedicure was wonderful, and the massage was one of the best I've had. I will definitely be back and telling people far and wide to visit.
My good friend gifted me with a gift card to Adara. I got the gel mani-pedi with Sundrae, the owner, who was very friendly and down to earth. I immediately felt like I had been going to her for years. My mani-pedi turned out beautiful and I also love the ambiance of the spa. I will definitely be back.
