I had a massage with Anna last Friday after a long break. She is the best! It was such a pleasure. I walked away feeling so much lighter, and my body felt amazing. I won't stay away so long this time. Hurry in for a great experience.

Christine is an amazing hair stylist. Very intuitive, picked up on my (somewhat disorganized) account of what I wanted for my hair - and created a style that is perfect for my hair, personality and lifestyle. I am going to stick with her for as long as she practices her craft!

This is the best hair salon in Portland! Jonathan is the best colorist out there, and everyone is so kind from when you walk in right until you leave! Top notch staff. I definitely will continue to get my hair done at Akari.

Akari - Simply the Best in New England! I cannot recommend Akari enough โ€“ it's truly the best spa I've ever visited in New England! I've had the pleasure of visiting twice, and each experience was absolutely fantastic. My first visit was a full day of pampering, and it was pure bliss. The day was packed with amazing spa procedures, including a rejuvenating massage, a refreshing facial, and perfectly done manicures and pedicures. To top it all off, a delicious lunch was provided, and we enjoyed wine throughout the day. It was an incredibly relaxing and luxurious experience. My second visit was a half-day trip with a friend, and once again, we were both incredibly impressed. The care and attention we received were exceptional, making us feel completely spoiled and refreshed. Both times, my friend and I left feeling incredibly satisfied with the high level of service and personal care. If you're looking for an outstanding spa experience with top-notch treatments and incredible attention to detail, Akari Spa is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend!
