Anna is the best Esthetician I have been to! I always leave my facials with glowing, moisturized skin. I highly recommend her for any skincare needs.

Jill is truly a skincare magician! Every time I visit her for a facial, my skin glows and looks so youthful. Her kindness and magical hands make the experience even more special. And don't even get me started on the heavenly massage she includes! Everything she does is absolutely incredible. I can't recommend her enough! She's simply the best! ?????

I experienced an awesome massage with Lynn Settle. She is super kind and very professional. She gave me and my husband a mini tour of the spa which was nice of her to do. I highly recommend booking with her. Thanks again and I will visit to treat myself again soon.

I have been going to Jill Sutherland for my facial for years. I think she does a terrific job. Her facials are relaxing, and my face always feels clean and smooth afterwards. Sometimes we chat, most times I fall asleep. Treat yourself! You won’t regret it. I highly recommend her.

I love Lynn!! I’ve seen her a handful of times now and where other massage therapists fail, Lynn finds the actual source of pain and helps. She’s personable and caring. I’m super picky about massage therapists and rarely write reviews. I hope someone trusts my review and books an appointment with Lynn!

I’ve been treating myself to a spa day for my birthday at Ahlara for a few years now and I never have any regrets. My services are always wonderful. Today I was pampered by Lynne and Stephanie. Fabulous massage from Lynne and the body scrub and facial from Stephanie was outstanding. The dry float experience is a must have and customer service is always on point. I can’t wait to come back!

Just had a 90 minute massage with Tasha and OMG! Epic! She has great hands and her energy is totally present and focused! You owe it to yourself to schedule your next massage with her!!

This place is amazing! The owner Scott welcomed us and gave us a little tour around the facility. Very clean and peaceful place. The relaxing massage I got from Lynne Settle was AMAZING!! She does a great job with pressure points and focused on the areas you need more help with. We will be back!

The environment of the spa is relaxing and the staff are very friendly. I received an outstanding massage from Hunter. His technique and therapy was very thorough and healing.

Andras was great, highly recommended!

Best facial I’ve ever received! I got the Sands of Cairo facial. Anna was incredible! I will definitely be booking my next facial with her. The ladies at the front were also extremely nice and helpful when booking. The atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. This was my first visit to Ahlara but I will definitely be returning.
Emilee B.
I had a wonderful experience here, Lynne Settle was a fantastic massage therapist. Not only did she listen to my needs she also could feel areas in my body that needed a little extra attention. I’m not from the area but I will definitely be back!
Leigh G.
Got a couples massage with Jaquarius and Hunter…they did a great job…I recommend massages here…a very nice place and all the people were nice and friendly
Jessica M.
Lynn was amazing with my prenatal massage! She worked hard to bring my hips some major relief and changed the pressure how I needed it. The whole thing was just a lovely experience and exactly what this tired mama needed!
Misty C.
Love the environment at Ahlara and the staff is very accommodating. JQ was amazing!! Best massage I’ve had in a long time!! I will definitely be coming back!!
Darin S.
Such a great team! I have been to a few places in Mooresville for therapeutic massages, but this place is hands down the best. You can tell the difference when a company is in “it” just for the $. I do not if the Ahlara is a chain but you can feel the passion and care the owners, management, and staff have for each customer. It is my new #1!!
Janice C.
Tasha was the BEST!!! I've been to Pebble Beach, Broadmoor, Bellagio, Barbados , Cruise ships for relaxing massages, but this was by far the best one I've ever had!!!!! Thank you Tasha!!!
Renee
Diantha’s hot stone massages are incredible!! Highly recommend her!!
Britt R.
Thank you for being kind. ????

Lynne was amazing

So grateful I came here while going through one of the most difficult moments of my life. Everyone was incredibly supportive and amazing.

The staff is always so kind and helpful and I always feel refreshed when I leave.

Have been coming here for almost 12 years. Always calming, beautiful decor, and excellent staff. Top notch experience!

I had a facial today with Jill and she was great. I am a quadriplegic in a power wheelchair and the spa was very accessible for me, and Jill was incredibly accommodating to ensure I had the best experience. I will definitely be back.
Jordan V.
I had a wonderful massage and the monthly special facial! It was exactly the day of relaxation I needed. The spa was so clean, front staff so welcoming and the therapist wonderful!
Rachael M.
Hands down the best spa in our town. I highly recommend them for massages and facials.
Darla C.
Absolutely love this place staff is always friendly and very helpful. I can't thank them enough for helping with the local Be a Santa to a Senior

I received a Mother’s Day gift for a facial and massage at Ahlara and it was a fantastic experience. Thank you Tasha for a wonderful massage and thank you Jill for an amazing facial! I can’t wait to visit again!
Roger C.
Amazing. Everyone was all smiles and super cooperative. Very into your health and wellbeing. Jill was the absolute best. Music was great. Smells were great. I cannot image anyone going there and not returning. I will go back.
Michelle S.
I've been getting massages once or twice a month for years now, but I had the best massage I've ever had with JQ today. I'm visiting from out of state but I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Ask for Jill P. for your next facial. I recently got a facial here for the first time. I am new to the area and have been looking for a good place but I am incredibly picky. Jill P. did my facial and oh my goodness, it was the best facial I have ever gotten. Not only was she able to make suggestions on exactly what my skin needed and provide a facial that left my skin feeling brand new, it was the most relaxing wonderful facial. I personally enjoy a more spa-like facial instead of a medi spa where it feels like you are in a dentist office. Jill has the magic touch and is so knowledgable. You can tell that she has taken her time learning and becoming an expert at her craft. I will not let anyone else give me a facial ever again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this spa due to their response to some of the reviews, but I’m glad I did. Enjoyed the Harmony Package, which I think is now phased out as they let me know they will not be doing nails anymore. I had a 60 minute massage with Anjani Perez and it was amazing! She asked me my preferences and really focused on problem areas I mentioned. Probably the best massage I’ve had. Next, I had a facial with Cece Heller, who was so nice and delightful. She asked me about my skin and explained each step during the process. Absolutely amazing head massage with the Sphinx facial. Then I had lunch and was surprised with how good it was. Lastly, I had a mani/pedi. This was great, but nothing too exceptional or better than a normal nail salon, so I wasn’t sad to hear it was phasing out. The robes were nice and thick, though maybe a bit aged or just faded. Overall, I really enjoyed my services and the ladies up front were so kind. Why 4 stars instead of 5? The decor felt a bit dated, but the theme may be the culprit for that. The locker room was small and a bit cramped with more than 2 people in there. The “zen den” is pretty much just a themed waiting room. Also because of the layout, you may hear other clients or workers talking outside the rooms as they walk by. But the services really made up for most of this. My only other spa experience is with Grove Park, so this is obviously not in the same league. But it is definitely steps above massage envy or something like that. I’ll be returning when I want a local and affordable option for great massages and facials and don’t need the extra amenities of a larger spa. And I’ll mostly be returning because of Anjani and Cece.

My wife purchased a gift card for me for our anniversary. I’ve always wanted to have a true massage. The experience we had was amazing. The massage therapists were awesome and took the time to learn about any injuries, which I have had some back trouble. The whole experience was way more than I expected, and will go back again.
Autumn S.
Wonderful experience.
Scott F.
The staff here are amazing and welcoming.
Ivana B.
Very tranquil and serene place ????
Erin K.
So sad. I have been coming here for several years and this past experience leaves me feeling like I won’t be back. I had a massage and mani/pedi scheduled for my birthday, however I broke my toe the day before so I only got my massage and rescheduled my other services. Well I don’t remember when I scheduled them and I didn’t receive a call to remind me or after missing it. When I called to schedule it they said I was a no show and I lost all my money on BOTH services. I explained what happened with my toe and she all but said”not my problem.” So sad. ????

From the moment I walked it I experienced ZEN. The reception desk, store, and pedicure room were fabulous! Great massage chairs and refreshing cucumber water. I was able to get a last min appt which was wonderful. I will be back! Thank you.
Emily B.
I always have a great experience here with facials, body scrubs and massages! My most recent massage, by Lynne, was incredible- could feel my knots being worked out and melt away. Looking forward to trying out her cupping technique at my next appointment!
Sue S.
Treated myself to the Harmony package and it was HEAVENLY! Massage, facial, pedi and mani--each service was fantastic, the spa beautiful and relaxing, and very reasonable. I can't wait to go back!!

Wow!! I have used them for like 10 years or longer and today I call to book for myself and a friend well over a $500 day for them and they tell me you MUST pay In full before your visit! WTH! nowhere else around does anything like that. I do not mind a deposit of like $50 dollars or so in case someone cancels but to charge the FULL AMOUNT for services you cannot even receive for 5 to 6 days is beyond ridiculous! Well after this they have lost a loyal customer and a possible new one that I was bringing in! Like stated i have no issue paying a deposit but the FULL AMOUNT UPFRONT UMMMM NO WAY! I will NEVER step in there again after that and will pass along to my friends in my neighborhood to make them aware of this NEW RULE! There is other places in town just as nice that WANT THE BUSINESS
Andrew S.
I called in and they were able to get me in on short notice. Friendly, calm and welcoming environment. Knowledgeable staff.
Bob C.
Average at best. Massage was below average. Room was cold and masseuse never asked what I wanted or if she could make me comfortable. “Get em get em out”
Megan H.
There are many amazing places in our area, however Diantha is INCREDIBLE and consistent. Three times a year, I splurge for a 90 minute massage and every time I leave renewed, relaxed and refocused. Diantha listens, understands and applies exactly what my body needs! There is no rush, long pauses - just a flowing technique and healing!!!! Thank you Diantha!!!! Until next time....
Lisa C.
Had a gift card given to me as a gift, which the giver didn’t tell me it would expire. Usually they don’t have an expiration date. If you’re giving a gift-card , a gift shouldn’t expire especially when the person paid money for a gift card to give you. What a waste of money. They actually kept the money that was paid from the gift card that was given to me . Will never do Business with them! Poor customer service!!
Cary L.
Great place !
Carlita
The store is lacking of knowing how to bring new customers back. I was very disappointed at the two group workshops that I had experienced. Mr. Ed did not communicate with all, only with a few that knew him (easy money making for him - reading about the subject only and not engaging with each one of us). Linda was great, but zero on bringing customer back... zero on follow-up ...... it seems that this business focus on massages.... lacking on the metaphysical (new age)... the psychics care more about making money than helping people........ their true focus is on regular clientele............

My husband bought me a gift card for the relax package for my birthday. The massage was excellent. However, I wouldn’t return. I did not receive the services advertised. The relax package is suppose to come with a “savory fruit and cream foot bath.” I received a hot water bath with salt... Once my massage was over I brought the discrepancy to the attention of 3 women at the front desk who basically acted like they didn’t know what I was talking about. I was told “sorry, I’m not sure what she used. Here’s a $10 dollar coupon and some samples.” Why would I come back if you can’t provide the services advertised? I’ll continue to go to massage envy.

I LOVE Ahlara. Erin is my new favorite massage therapist, and I try and add a little extra something to each appointment to feel special. I think that is the reason why I love it so much...it's because when I come in, I feel special and pampered. Even in COVID without the Zen Den and fancy robe experience, I felt relaxed and loved and that is pretty cool. To me, Ahlara is a premium spa experience that I appreciate and relish each occasion that I am able to go.

I just recently went here as a valentines gift this year. It was amazing and jess did a great job!! I was relaxed for the whole day. Will be going back.

Great deep tissue sports massage by Justin. He really helped my low back pain. Go see him if you are an athlete!
Britney K.
This was my first visit and I am so happy! I got a deep tissue massage from Lisa b and pedicure done by Brandy. Both ladies were very kind and really made me feel relaxed! I will defiantly be back for more services. The entire experience was amazing. I will be spreading the word.
Edward Scott Ii, D.
Don’t waste your time booking an appointment on line because it doesn’t work. It even confirms you and takes your credit card information but it doesn’t really schedule you. Also if you do a membership because you like a therapist make sure you can cancel it because they will leave. I’ve paid thousands of dollars here and now I can’t even get a massage scheduled when it confirms me online.
Matt N.
Carolyn was awesome! Will definitely be back.
Keli G.
Love, love, love this spa! I’ve going here for about 8 years and all the staff are professional, knowledgeable and quite friendly. Erin, Amanda, Tracy, Brandy and Robin have all been great and my services with them are always relaxing and top shelf. This is hands down the best spa in Mooresville!
Dawn C.
This is my first time here and I will definitely be back. Amanda was amazing as she paid attention to detail and all my little ailments and made sure that she took great care of me. If you're looking for an awesome spa experience that won't break your bank account, I highly recommend this place. Ahhh
Tori G.
This has been and always will be my go-to place when I need to unwind. Ahlara is one of the most calm and peaceful atmospheres around. After returning back from a very long (and challenging) trip, I could feel the effects of the stress coming on and made a point to come in as soon as I could. It was so comforting to see familiar friendly faces again. The massage and facial were exactly what I needed to help me reset and regroup! Amazing!! When stress starts to come upon you, you make the choice to nip it before it drags you (and everyone around you) down. Thank you for providing a perfect place for us to do just that!
Dawn W.
I always have wonderful services at Ahlara. I have had massages and facials. They are also always so friendly and have cute boutique items.
Misty C.
Best massage! Relaxing environment and awesome gift shop. Highly recommend!
Katelyn B.
Definitely will be back to see Karen! Exceptional and delightful services she provided.
Michelle V.
I cant say enough great things about Ahlara. I was greeted warmly when I walked in. I deal with chronic back pain and my massage therapist Karen was very knowledgeable and my massage was by far the best I have ever had. I will be back and will most def request Karen. Thank you so much !!!
Robin E.
My sister scheduled body massages, facials and foot massage appointments for us recently. The scheduling was a nightmare as times continued to get changed forcing us to reschedule over the course of several days. Services finally received were ok, but certainly not great as they'd been in the past. To add insult to injury, my sister is under the weather today as a result of receiving services from a massage therapist who clearly had a cold, and who coughed and sniffled throughout my sister's massage. Very disappointing. I offer 3 stars as I am assuming this was an off day at the spa given other far better experiences in the past at Ahlara.
Susan A.
Ambience is nice but my 99.00 so called Total Relaxation massage was awful, a total waste of my money and I have had other massages before at other places. This was more rubbing than a massage and the therapist did not seemed trained on massage at all. I was never relaxed and left more stressed then before I went in. I will not be back and would not recommend this place unless they hire truly skilled massage therapists that know how to perform a medium pressure Swedish massage.

Two weeks ago I called and scheduled an appointment for 12:30. I gave them my home phone # and cell #. When I arrived at 12:10, I was whisked in and told that the appointment was for 12:00--that they had to change it and they texted me. I told them that I'd never received a text and they told me the number they texted--a phone number that I haven't had in 5 years. Apparently they didn't update my info when I made my appointment. They called my home line yesterday to confirm the appointment, but spoke with my husband and said nothing about changing the appointment time. That should have been explicitly stated. I tried to ask questions, but the front desk ladies were like, "Let's go, Let's go. We need to get started!" About 3 minutes into the massage, I told the massuse that I was sorry, but I wasn't in the right frame of mind for a massage. I was very upset that they hadn't made contact with me. When a business makes a change to an appointment, they need to make two-way contact with customer. A text that isn't responded to isn't confirmation. Calling someone's husband to confirm an appointment and not mentioning that the time has been adjusted isn't acceptable. I tipped the massuse because it wasn't her fault and I understand that this is her income, and spoke to the manager, saying that this shouldn't be standard business practice. She said that they did make contact with me and, "It seems there has been a breakdown in the communication." That's not even true. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TIME HAD BEEN CHANGED. They sent a text to cyberspace and said nothing to my husband about it. The manager could have at least said, "I'm sorry. We regret this happened." She was very unprofessional and nonchalant. She could have cared less. She did nothing to try to make it right. Ahlara's handling of this situation was rushing me into a spa experience and telling me that it'd only be cut short by 5 minutes. This was on our anniversary weekend. What a bummer.

I'm so excited. I've found the right massage experience and person for me. If you're looking for something more luxurious than regular chain massage places this is it. Calming music, a robe, relaxation room, very quiet and dark inside. Rae was amazing. I can't wait to try more of their offerings. There are so many. Worth every single penny.
Debbie D.
I enjoy going to Ahlara International Day Spa and Boutique. I have taken advantage of their massage services, and I love Maureen who gives wonderful facials. I appreciate how positive everyone is, and I would highly recommend this spa, as their customer service is excellent.

I've been to several events at Ahlara, always enjoyed them. Bought a Groupon for yoga classes for myself and my mother. We came to one class and felt so unwelcome that I didn't use the rest of the Groupon sessions. The teacher went through the rest of the class - it was apparent she has regulars - and spoke to each of them, asking about their personal lives and having small conversations with them. We were barely acknowledged, which was fine, because I'm not there to make new friends. It's possible we just had a disconnect that night, but the instructor continued to point out that we were new, beginners, and made several comments to single us out in a negative way during our class. As I said, the spa is wonderful, the events have been wonderful, and I love shopping in the boutique, but I immediately regretted buying that Groupon after our first class.

SPA day was a gift from my husband. It was absolutely terrible experience from the first minute till the end. It made me literally cry on a cold massage table.
Jaylene M.
My sister and I had massages and facials for our birthdays. The services were wonderful, facilities very nice, and staff friendly!
Jaime D.
So relaxing! Great Experience! Knowledgeable staff!

Love yoga class!

I find Ahlara International a calming, re-energizing experience. The massages there equal any massage I might have had in the Far East. I drive over 100 miles to get my facials, wraps and massages. The boutique has unique clothing. I always seem to find something that I like. I highly recommend Ahlara.
Michael R.
Not sure if it was the owner or manager, but he yelled at my my kids in the empty parking lot without simply asking them to go somewhere else. He was extremely aggressive towards me and my family before the fireworks display. I would HIGHLY recommend that you take your business elsewhere.
Catherine R.
Such a wonderful spa. I had a spa finder gift card that I thought I was never going to be able to use until I found out that ahlara accepted them. Kaitlyn did my sphinx facial and it was amazing. She was so sweet and had a lovely voice. She altered the facial to fit my needs and helped to provide suggestions on maintaining my skin care. The facility is very tranquil and peaceful. Super quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend.
Anna N.
Worst customer service!! I have been going here for years these last few encounters have been horrible!! Therapist did not show was told "guess we can fit you in" AFTER waiting half hour, WTH I booked appointment in advance. Just tried to book special advertised. The bed they use is not in service and has not been and will not be according to girl on phone. So why advertise something you CAN NOT provide customers??? Just now REFUSED to allow me to use rest of gift card for my daughter and form better opinion of place. Sandra need to learn to just say sorry and move on!!!
Cindy B.
My husband bought me a Harmony package for our anniversary, it was perfect. The staff was amazing and the setting is so peaceful. I was so relaxed after my spa day I hated to leave. Will definitely go back.
Sara U.
Beautiful and peaceful facility and had an outstanding massage. Also had the amazing sole added on, which was definitely worth it. Helpful staff and also has a really neat boutique inside with great clothing and other items. Could not have had a better massage and would HIGHLY recommend; can't wait to go back!
Fran J.
I always get several compliments every time I wear two of my favorite pieces from Ahlara's beautiful boutique - a gorgeous purple scarf and a unique looking sterling silver necklace. I love wearing them, and I love the compliments! Thanks, Ahlara!
FaZe h.
I look very forward to my facial with Maureen. She is exceptional. It is my monthly be good to myself. When my hour is over, I feel completely relaxed. You have a very valuable lady.
Christina Z.
It was an amazing, relaxing experience. I felt like a new person when I left!!

My husband & I had our first couple's massage at Ahlara last month. What a pleasure! We enjoyed the treatments and felt that the staff was exceptional. Very relaxing and romantic experience - I highly recommend it!
