I was visiting from out of town and stopped in at Thrive of NOLA—what an AMAZING experience! The spa itself is stunning, but the true beauty is in the people. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist treated me with such professionalism, warmth, and kindness that I instantly felt at home. She connected me with Jazz, and let me tell you—her hands are pure magic. Smooth as butter, talented beyond words, and such a joy to be around. I walked in full of stress and tension, and left feeling completely rejuvenated, relaxed, and glowing. Thrive of NOLA is an easy 10/10, and if you book, please do yourself a favor and ask for Jazz. You will NOT regret it!

I really enjoyed my services at Thrive. They were friendly, professional and really good at their jobs. Tana’s my esthetician was very helpful and even gave me tips on how to keep up with my skin care at home. My masseuse Matthew was also very good. I pointed out a knot I had been having trouble with for a couple months and he got it right out for me. I will most definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I went to Thrive NOLA Spa, located in the French Quarter, on Valentine’s Day and got the couple’s facial and massage. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and offered a beverage. The three staff we encountered were all so friendly and really made us feel special. We filled out questionnaires for the massage and the facial, that way they could tailor our treatments according to our needs. Beyond the questionnaires, our esthetician, Gabriela, and massage therapist, Danielle, talked to us prior to ensure they understood exactly what we wanted. The services themselves were excellent. The massage and facial were so relaxing and we both left there GLOWING (and no, it wasn’t the humidity)! The massage therapist did a full body massage and focused on the areas where I hold tension, and the esthetician did some magic for the dark circles under my eyes! After, they gave us Valentine’s candy and a warm goodbye that made me sad I live in California and not New Orleans so I could be a regular! I can’t recommend this spa enough.
