Avia Spa

I have been here twice and both times I was very impressed. While it’s not the look of a traditional high end spa, the services are great, the massage tables are super comfy and their prices are reasonable. I will definitely return.

Found them via groupon. Don’t judge by the outside appearance. It is located in a nice area, so no worries there, but you cannot tell that it is a spa from the road. No real signage, so you have to keep an eye out when you arrive.
Got a couples massage and we were very happy. Inside is very nice and clean. Massages themselves were great. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

This was my first time visiting Avia for a message. I received a discount for being a new customer totaling $ 49.99. When I walked in they asked be to fill out some paperwork which is typical when getting a message. I requested to have a medium to firm pressured message and the masseuse wasn’t messing around. I’m not sure if she got my papers mixed up with someone else, but I’m pretty sure the tiny bodied girl was giving it all she had. It was too firm at times and I’m worried about bruises now! Ha! It’s my mistake for not telling her to lighten up the pressure, but I totally should have. The bed was also very cold and at one point she took the blanket off of me completely. The room was bare and the music was very quite. There were a lot of outside noises; people hitting the wall next to my room, doors slamming, strange squeezing noises the entire time. I must say, I feel better than I did before my appointment, but I was expecting more of a spa like environment. I probably wouldn’t recommend this place to my friends or family. They employees were all VERY nice, though, and the building seemed pretty clean. Lastly, I wanted to mention that if you are shy about your body, this isn’t the place for you.

The outside looks a little run down, but it is quiet and peaceful inside. This is a good place if you are looking for a no-​frills and don’t want to pay Woodhouse Spa prices. It was clean but definitely worn down (torn linoleum, older décor, etc). The gentleman that gave me my massage was professional and quiet. It was a good massage, but not the best I have ever had. I definitely relaxed though!

I had a great experience here! The atmosphere was extremely relaxing! I went in with a headache and when I left I didn’t have one any more! I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend it. I was also a walk in on Saturday and got a massage right away! I can’t even write enough good things!

Don’t judge a book by its cover. On the outside Avia looks suspect, but on the inside it is a romantic wonderland. Upon entrance, we were greeted by a pleasant, polite man at the front desk. After my partner and I made quick work of the «areas of needed care» forms, the man at the front desk offered us some champagne before heading into the room of bliss. Naturally, we obliged. The tasty, crisp beverage got us prepped and ready for an hour of pleasure. The room was laid out as if for a king and queen. Roses on each bed, light music playing in the background, dim mood lighting; the whole kit and kaboodle.
As the massage began, I entered a world I had never been to; a quasi parallel universe. Her hands worked wonders over my body, and afterwards I felt like a new man. Safe to say it was a great experience. Great price and great service. Cha-​Ching!

The higher ratings must have come from the,” happy ending” customers. This isn’t the 1^st time for rescheduling, or not havin the technician needed. I only want 1 specialized service, theth mislead me for every call. How do l get a GIFT. CARD REFUND? This place isnt for you if you wish for a tight, prompt schedule. What a disaster. Perhaps English speaking workers would be nice

This is the best hidden secret spa in Indianapolis surrounding area. I visit Kim one to two times a week and she is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. It’s not only that the massage is great the service is the best. They have come in early and stayed later for me more than once and they truly care. I usually go in for massage but have had the facials and there just as good. I even have had them come to the local business I run to do massages for all employees. I would never go to another spa except Avia!

This place is fantastic. Sweet ladies who run the place. Very friendly and welcoming. The massage was awesome and I was able to get it without an appointment. Discount for first time customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will be back again.

Had a really great experience. It was our anniversary with my boyfriend and both him and i were amazed. Never got treated in a spa like this before. They are very sweet and treat you right. Very well worth paying for this package facial and deep tissue. We loved it. The room was very well decorated exactly how i told the sweet lady at the front desk. Thanks for a great time.

My friend had never had a massage… what?! So, I arranged for both of us to have a full hour massage at Avia Spa. (This was my second time at this spa). The staff was incredibly kind and listened to all of our requests. My friend (who was very nervous to take on this adventure) stated, afterwards, that she LOVED IT and that she felt very comfortable and respected by the staff. She has asthma so she can not handle a lot of perfume type scents. The Avia staff was very careful with their choices in lotions/​oils for the massage. They paid attention to her concerns. The fees at this spa are reasonable and they even send you discount incentives. I intend to return to this spa as many times as possible. btw: the building is not difficult to find. It is the one level building just west of Ed Martin Acura on 96^th Street (across the street from the ⁵⁄₃ Bank).

Bought the Couples Massage Groupon about a week ago and redeemed it early this week. After reading reviews I saw that people complained about having to book a «hot stone» massage in advance. I went ahead and called in advance to ensure that we would get the hot stone treatment. Upon arrival, my husband and I were a little worried from the aesthetics of the building. Once we got inside, we were pleasantly surprised! Clean and relaxed feeling.
After being escorted to the room, the host was very nice and communicated clearly what we were to do. The massage was awesome! however, no hot stone massage like I had booked. It was kind of a bummer honestly. Didn’t think I would have to remind the receptionist of my appointment. Usually, in professional circumstances, they have that lined up for you. Oh well. Wouldn’t mind going back, but would just triple check my hot stone. haha

April 05 2015 —-Would like to have made an appointment for a Monday «the Person who does eyelashes won’t be in until next Wednesday or next Thursday»
this specialty is left up to one person’s expertise– business wise– That’s shortsighted

Avia Spa is a hidden gem on the north side. It is a great place to go to escape and get a massage. The staff is friendly and they do a great job!

I enjoyed the massage a lot. Friendly staff and clean, cozy environment. I purchased a groupon for a couples massage with champagne and strawberries, however, did not receive the champagne or strawberries. When I asked, I was told I needed to ask for them before the massage when I was asked if I wanted a drink. A little disappointed that I didn’t get a drink/​fruit, but the quality of the massage made up for it. I’ll probably go back, and now I know to ASK for the drink.

I am extremely impressed with this place. You never know what you will get when you walk into a massage spa. Avia Spa is clean, quiet, professional, and relaxing. The massage therapists are professional and respectful. They make sure you are comfortable and that they are not hurting you when performing a massage. The front desk woman is amazing. Their first need appears to be to cater to you and to what you need. I will return to this spa many times.

Just don’t!
So I took my friend here for her Christmas present. I spoke with someone on the phone before purchasing a groupon for the Couple’s massage.
I booked the Couple’s massage with mimosas, strawberries, and separate rooms (since I was bringing a girl friend.) I also requested mine to be the hot stone massage which needs to be ordered in advance, while my friend just wanted the traditional swedish. This was booked three weeks in advance!
I had been stuck in traffic and was running late, and while they were accommodating to me, they didn’t provide my guest with any of the included refreshments or make her feel welcome. Once there, they had us in the same room when I very specifically reserved two separate rooms. They didn’t have any knowledge of my reservation or requests. I had to ask for our mimosas, and they provided no strawberries. Then once situated, I reminded them that I had reserved a hot stone. I was informed that I needed to book this in advance. I did. More than three weeks! The owner then came in and repeated this, and I once again reminded them that I had made a reservation weeks ago. I then said if they couldn’t do the hot stone, that I would accept the Aromatherapy, which was another option. The owner said he would see which they could do, and would let me know. I never saw him again until after the massages and my payment. They came in and just started two Swedish massages. I was so aggravated, I didn’t even get to relax while there!
Afterwards, when my guest left the room, someone came in to collect my credit card for the charges. She asked how much I wanted to leave for the tip. Given my experience in their salon, I told her an amount for each masseuse. She told me that it was not enough tip, and that they had worked hard. I explained that it was what I was comfortable with. She again pushed back and said I needed to give them more. I was appalled! I assertively told her to only list that tip amount on there that I was willing to provide. She said, «Ok next time, you can do more.»
I’ve worked in hospitality for 8 years and would NEVER, EVER say anything to someone about how much they want to TIP someone. On top of EVERY piece of my reservation being messed up? And I never even got an apology, let alone any other form of compensation. You will never see me in this building again!

Good place. Hard to find in an odd old building. Door is on east side, south corner. Enter from outside. I made the mistake of going in building and made it confusing and impossible to find.
Yes it had limited English. Who cares — you are there for a massage not a conversation. It is a massage
Used groupon and tipped when I left. Most educated and common sense people know you are supposed to tip any service type when you get.
Don’t be stupid folks — you always tip a waiter or waitress correct. I give my grass service guys water and food if I am home. Guess what — my grass looks great.
So I had best deep tissue massage of my life. This was fourth. I was sore and felt like taking a nap afterward.
Any person that would work on your back for an hour deserves a tip. Think about if you would even dream of rubbing your significant other for an hour for probably $ 10 without some type of payback. It is a business and the $ 60 all in was worth it. And I did not even have to make her dinner afterwards.

I came in over the weekend with a groupon… I just moved to Indy and have been looking for a new massage place, so the deal lured me in.
I’ve give it two points for cleanliness and friendliness…
While I didn’t get the name of my massage therapist, she seemed to know what she was doing. The only problem was, she barely spoke any english (literally only knew the words“lighter”, «harder» and yes/​no); normally I don’t have a problem with this, but it was extremely difficult to communicate my pressure points. She played upbeat foreign pop music the whole time… again, I wouldn’t complain if it were a manicure or hair cut, but this did not make for a relaxing massage experience. No hot towel, and the room was rather cool so I shivered through most of it. On top of it all, there’s a bright yellow sign on the wall demanding 20% gratuity in capital letters… awkward.
Overall a nice place, but way too overpriced considering the only real positive was cleanliness and décor.

Did the Couples Massage here and it was pretty awesome. It’s a very Asian Hole in the Wall place that is very calm and relaxing. Looks cheap and boring from the outside, but the inside of the building is beautiful.
They give you a clipboard and paper work to fill out, including a diagram of the muscles of the human body. You circle the stress areas of your body and they customize your massage based on your input. They also take into consideration the firmness you desire and injuries you might of had recently.
These people are not shy and will massage what feels like every nook and cranny. They do an amazing job massaging the head, neck, shoulders, hamstrings, calves and feet. The only part that was disappointing was that the Lower Back massage was too light and was too much elbow rubbing and not enough hand massaging, it left me wanting another lower back massage.
The massage oil was heated up and felt warm, a very nice surprise as most of the previous massage places I’ve been to have had room temperature or below oils.
The Couples Massage was fairly pricey.
Friendly Staff.
