My best friend has been tempting me for 2 years with tales of her visits to Akasu. I'm ashamed to say it took me that long to finally make an appointment and go. What was I waiting for?! I watched every woman in our circle of friends make her way (in her own time) to visit this little jewel of a spa/salon in N. Portland. Each one coming away with rave reviews. In fact, I can't recall hearing about a single negative experience from ANY of them. Again... WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG?? I'm a bit of a tomboy, I guess, so "girlie" endulgences don't generally take up much of my time. But seriously? There's nothing at all pretentious, or otherwise uncomfortable, AT ALL about this place. Everyone is so incredibly friendly and down-to-earth, They are the absolute perfect reflection of our beautiful, laid-back, Pacific Northwest. I felt like I was chilling at a close friends pad while simultaneously being spoiled to death. Talk about the best of everything! So far I have only had a facial and some waxing but, let me tell you! I intend to try it all, before I am done. Or rather, before I start from the beginning again. My best bud has been seeing Treysi for some time now. In fact, I think she has been introduced to everything Treysi does. Apparently, she's multi-talented and does just about everything except hair and massage. So, of course, that's who I booked my first appointment with. And, as expected, it was amazing! So, long story short (well, shorter), I WILL be back. And, if you have a secret desire to reward yourself for something... or simply, want to hang out with a great group of chicks. This place is for you. Trust me, if I can feel at home... ANYBODY can be as comfortable, if not more. Try Akasu, seriously! You won't regret it.
Pros: everything (especially Treysi!)
Cons: can't think of a single one

My friend and I had been searching for "our Spot" for months when we found Akasu and decided to give them a try!! Well we had The Best pedicure experience ever!! Everyone was super nice and professional!! The salon itself has a very welcoming and relaxing feel, its beautiful! Everything is super clean. you don't have to worry about the foot bath harboring major germs in any jets because they use portable tubs and put stones in the bottom for a nice soothing foot massage. The polish used is all natural, which is something you don't find everywhere! Heather and Treysi were so much fun and did a wonderful job on the pedicure, as well as making sure we were comfortable! They offer a great selection of beverages, which adds a nice home touch! I highly recommend receiving services from either of them! Needless to say we found "our spot" and can't wait to try some of the other services offered!
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, clean, great talent, on time
Cons: none!
