Spa Nordstrom

I read the other reviews and sent someone to spend time with Fred. The entire experience was excellent and affordable. As a tip, ask for lunch when you check in.

I have had plenty of massages and mani/​pani combos in the last few years, but I must say that Spa Nordstrom has given me my best experience in Atlanta. I think Fred is an excellent massage therapist. He’s a master at hitting the various pressure points and relaxing the body. Rochelle is also an excellent mani/​pedicurist. I was so relaxed I actually feel asleep during my pedicure… which has never happened before. After a long week, I definitely recommend a spa day (with Fred & Rochelle) at Nordstrom. I am making them a monthly, maybe a bi-​weekly routine.
I’ve also had a facial Spa Nordstrom (unfortunately I do not remember the esthetician’s name), which was also excellent. My skin was bright and refreshed for several weeks afterwards. Perhaps one of the best treatments I’ve had in a very long time.

I do not think you can go wrong with any of the services at Spa Nordstrom.

I initially scheduled my massage/​back exfoliation, but the therapist left and cancelled my appointment that day. I was upset, but when I called back to address it, the spa director (Nori, who is super nice) more than made up for it.
I ended up going in for epidermabrasion (same thing as microderm). It is admittedly uncomfortable during the procedure, but they apply creams/​mask to soothe it afterward. I felt like my skin was slightly sunburned for the rest of the day. You do have to stay moisturized and out of the sun (and preferably without makeup) for a few days to recover fully. The facials come with a hand and foot massage, which is nice. They also gave me a drink and a warm blanket and foot soak before my services, nice touch.
After the microderm, I moved to another room for my back exfoliation — it’s a nice add on to a massage, mine was a basic coconut scrub. Since the back is the one place I can’t exfoliate myself well, it was nice. Then I had the organic aromatherapy massage. I wish the aromatherapy had been a little stronger, but it was nice overall.
While my services were good, the prices are just really high at this spa, and the difference in service/​quality doesn’t merit that much of a price hike for me. Also, they tried to sell me various pricey products after my services. While I am sure they are great products, I don’t like being sold to (a list of recommended items is good enough).
All in all, a decent experience, but I will probably not go back, mostly due to price.

I had Carmen as my massage therapist and she was amazing. I was actually sore the next day becuase her massage was so good! Her pressure was perfect, she didn’t try to carry on a conversation during my session (which is one of my pet peeves), and she is very sweet. I would definitely book her for my next appointment!
