    Excellent Massage!
    While in town for a girls weekend, we went to Recline & Unwind Social Spa for a 30-minute treat. We combined Treat Your Feet foot massage with the Dip & Sip foot soak. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, and the massage was amazing! My only regret is that we didn't have a chance to go back after two days of walking all over downtown. Highly recommend!
    We're so happy everyone enjoyed relaxing with us. Stop in the next time you're in town!

    Great vibe
    This place has great vibe, I had a terrible stiff neck/headache from traveling and I had a fantastic 15 minute massage from Richard. His fingers had eyes to find the knots in my neck and I was so much better afterward. I loved the feel of the place and the offerings of beverages and services. Definitely a must if you have to take care of yourself and you have impatient- or needy- family members who can only give you a few minutes to unwind!
    Thanks for the shout out. We couldn’t agree more, Richard is a fantastic therapist!

    Great Last Day of Vacation Activity!
    Me and 3 friends completely enjoyed our 30 minutes at this spa. We all did the foot soak and a 15 minute massage. The chairs that recline were wonderful and the attentiveness of the staff to our comfort was exceptional. We got blankets and water and the option to pay for a beverage. It was the perfect ending to our 4 day vacation in Asheville!
    We are thrilled that you and your friends enjoyed your spa time with us. Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Love this place!
    Novel concept, great execution. My head/neck and facial massage were fantastic, but what really blew me away was the kid service for my 6-year-old. She’d never been to a spa before but Heidi took care to make sure she understood what each treatment was, how to request different pressure or let her know if anything was uncomfortable, and treated her like a valued client (not just a little kid!). The fidget toys in the foot soak were a clever touch! The services were affordable, easy to book and in a lovely atmosphere. The lower price point and short service duration mean this could be a regular thing vs. a once in a while splurge. We will definitely be regulars. Thank you for this inclusive take on a spa experience!
    We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and share your experience. We ❤️ our young guests! It's never too early to learn about self-care!

    Super relaxing
    This spa was just what I was looking for. I didn’t want a one hour massage and I wanted shoulders and feet only. They let you choose from an a la cart menu so I was able to get the exact treatments I wanted. Kim was awesome. She release the tension from my neck and feet. Best part of my day. The ambiance was very relaxing. The whole experience took my tension level way down. Thanks to all for such a great experience. Highly recommended!
    We're so happy you found us! Thank you for the recommendation, it means so much for a small business. ☺️

    Wonderful Experience at RU Social Spa!
    We recently celebrated our daughter’s 13th birthday at RU Social Spa in downtown Asheville, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! We hosted seven of her friends, and the staff could not have been more friendly, accommodating, and professional. The variety and quality of the services offered were excellent, and each guest had a lovely time. The foot soak treatment was a particular favorite, each guest got to customize their soak by choosing their own fragrances for the salts, and they even received a bag to take home. It was such a unique and special touch! The space in the back was perfect for bringing our own food, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. And their drinks were delicious! The overall spa environment is inviting and thoughtfully designed. RU Social Spa is such a unique idea for a birthday party or special event and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience. All of the girls absolutely loved it, and so did we. Highly recommend!
    We appreciate you sharing your experience. We loved celebrating with your daughter and her friends!

    Pro tip: start your Asheville visit at RU Social Spa!
    I had always wanted to visit Asheville and when I decided to stop thinking about it and just go for a few days, I was faced with what activities and places to prioritize in a short space of time. I looked for local recommendations and kept coming across mentions of the RU Social Spa. I decided to make it my first stop and I am SO HAPPY I did. The atmosphere is exactly as advertised. The massage was so relaxing, and I had a wonderful conversation with my massage therapist who recommended a few places (Green Sage Cafe FTW!) that genuinely enhanced my Asheville experience. It was not only a great way to start my first day but my whole visit. The location is great, the service is fantastic, the vibe is very chill, and it's the perfect way to get centered without totally powering down when you have other things you'd like to do. My only regret is I didn't make it back for an evening treatment with a glass of wine. Until next time!
    We're so glad you finally made it to our wonderful city! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Friends and I spent part of an afternoon here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I personally had the foot soak with a nice berry cider, then followed up with a foot massage. I would highly recommend the experience. The staff was friendly, experienced and excellent at their craft. Others in my group had the had massage, and the facial and scalp massage. We were all so pleased with the experience that we are planning a return trip.

Definitely book an appointment later in the day after your walking around Biltmore, Blue Ridge Parkway, walking around Asheville. Great foot massage and neck and head massage after long drive to Asheville. Peaceful, quiet relaxing experience helps you to recover from your day.

Wife and I made a last minute decision for a quick massage after a 10 hour day of travelling the day before. RUSS breaks things down into 15 minute slots so you can shorten/extend your services. They are always accomodating and we have used them many times in the past. Best foot massage around.

This is a great and much-needed concept for a spa experience. You can just come in for a 15 minute block and get a fantastic massage. I had the Triple Crown and it was the perfect pampering experience, which I dearly needed. I am in the middle of chemotherapy and the massage therapist was attentive to what I needed and particular concerns. Lovely day and I will definitely be going back.

I was catching up on some work in a parking space on the street in front of RU Spa late in the day. I looked over and saw the signs for walk-in massage and beer. Seemed like a great idea and was perfect.Megan gave me a welcome 15 min head and neck massage that was lovely!
Highly recommend and I’ll be back
