Hickory is not a tourist town, most salons don’t speak much English, and they aren’t expensive by any means, and they are not marketed as a high end salon, but in my travels all over the world, I have seen a little of everything but I have never seen a salon so lacking in customer service, smiles, courtesy, or such an extreme lack of knowledge about their products or services, especially for a company that promotes itself as top of the line. So, visiting the area, normally get my nails, facials, brows, massages in my local town of Hickory NC. Also featured is a co-ed relaxation lounge where guests can prepare for their treatments creek side, as well as two couple suites, complete with a large hydrotherapy bath that is shared by both the suites. To enter the spa’s quiet zone, guests will take the spa elevator down to the first floor men’s and women’s changing rooms equipped with showers, amenities, lockers and robes before entering wet areas with sauna and Jacuzzi pool.

Also on the second floor is the salon, which offers guests a complete hair and nail treatment menu, featuring a nail bar, pedicure thrones, and styling stations. Guests for both spa and salon services check in at the main spa reception located on the second floor. Couples can also share the experience and indulge in the Sacred Feather Ritual for Two inclusive of a massage for each while laying side by side, a bathing ritual in a large hydrotherapy bath, and champagne with chocolate treats. We urge you to try them both! Mandara Spa at Harrah’s Cherokee also offers specific treatments and packages for men, including the Mountain Escape for Men, promising a dose of euphoria with a traditional Deep Tissue Massage followed by an Elemis Skin IQ for Men Facial. These exclusive services include the Lavender Healing Repair Facial which uses Lavender, a key healing herb used in Native American ceremonies to soothe, relax and restore, and the Juniper Berry and Algae Detox which uses Juniper Berries also used in Native American ceremonies to dispel negative energy and purify the environment.
