Aequis Spa
What People Are Saying About Aequis An Inclusive Retreat

In Short – Located on the top floor of the historic Telegram Building, the modern spa features soothing music and a barefoot staff speaking in hushed tones. Aequis practices the 5,000-year-old healing science of ayurveda, which originates from the ancient traditions of India. Services range from facials and massage to body treatments and wellness therapies. A massage package includes foot treatments and essential-oil head-to-toe massage and scalp treatment, followed by a luxurious shower.
Warning for those with a conscience
by can you believe
It is inconceivable to me that Aequis is up for a Best of City nomination! The owner doesn't pay her employees! All of the therapists that others have raved about in past reviews are gone due to the run around on pay. They are even owed their tip money that satisfied clients put on credit card. Some past employees are still owed for over 10 weeks! Times are hard, but the owner has found the time to jet off to California & Thailand as she makes one excuse after the other for not having any funds to pay her workers. Check out their prices, & tell me one more time where the cash flow problem is, & then do the right thing, & find another spa to support.
- Pros: had great massage therapists
- Cons: employees not being paid
Instant Transformation

If you're looking for the total spa experience, there is no spa in Portland that matches Aequis. The minute you walk in, you're taken to a far away tranquil environment that instantly relaxes you. Lighting, decor, staff training, facility, and treatment all work together to reinforce this atmosphere. Superb.
I have treatment scheduled next week -this will my first visit since they moved to their new location in the Pearl . Cannot wait.
- Pros: Atmosphere, treatment, energy
- Cons: parking
I'm not going to try THAT hard to give you my business!

Despite the recent reviews I attempted to make an appt. for a treatment. I never got a call back. I don't care how exclusive you are, it is simply bad business not to return phone calls. I refuse to make attempt after attempt to make an appt. There are plenty of other spas in the area that I'm sure will actually pick up when I call and schedule an appt.
- Pros: ????
- Cons: No respect for prospective clients
