The Dragontree -ecommerce

I'm not a "spa" guy, but my girlfriend talked me into going to this place with her last year. I got a massage and a footbath, and it was very cool. I'm an attorney and things can get pretty stressful, so it was fantastic to just completely relax for an hour or so. Everyone is very soothing and the place has a nice combination of natural light (there's a big sort of frosted and shaded skylight above the place where they do footbaths) and dim warm lighting. The massage was awesome. I can't really compare this to any other spa, because I've never really been to another one, but I can say that I have now had a few afternoons here, and they are perfect. It's a really welcome place to chill out. more

To call this a spa simply under-delivers on what I would consider a "spa" - this word usually evokes the image of facials, waxing and beauty treatments - but to underestimate this spa in that way would be a disservice. You CAN get those treatments, but that is the tip of the iceberg, and obviously not the focus of The Dragon Tree where they truly provide holistic care. I visited with a gift card from my sister for a Custom Package that included a foot bath and foot massage in a gorgeous relaxing atmosphere, a one hour massage (my therapist was Glen and if he isn't booked solid for the next ten years it's only because people don't know about him and his mad skills), and a facial. My mind, body, and senses were simultaneously immersed in a heavenly afternoon escape. If I could convey my enthusiasm for this spa in actions I would cartwheel to you at this moment and shake you into action...GO treat yourself! Upon leaving I scheduled an appointment with the acupuncturist Peter and another massage, I can only imagine how fabulous these treatments will be if they compare in any way to my experience so far. On a side note the receptionist referred me to the coffee shop next door for a late lunch and cup of joe - and was dead on, it was fantastic! Great Staff! Pros: Excellent massage, peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful staff, attention to detail. Cons: They wouldn't let me live there forever!!! more

I have been going to Dragon Tree for facials for a little over a year now and will no longer return. I was dissappointed to hear that my favorite esthetician is no longer there and her service was the only thing I found especially pleasing about the entire spa. I refuse to receive facials from anybody else. You have lost a loyal customer. -Amanda W. Cons: Rude staff, Bad at keeping appointments, Inconvenient location more

This has been my favorite spa for 2 years now. They have fantastic massage therapists. Something has happened at the front desk over the past 2 months and I'm giving up. In December I scheduled appointments for myself and 2 friends. I was called back and told that they overbooked but that we could come in the next day. I called back and said we would take the new day and time. Upon our arrival for the appointments, we were told that our appointments were the day prior and they couldn't see us. The person in charge did the best she could to make it right. Sometimes things happen. Two weeks ago, I called and scheduled an appointment. Soon after I got the call back stating that they thought they could move things around but it turns out that they couldn't accomodate me. Today, I called to see if I could get in for a massage. I was told that I could be seen in an hour. Within 2 minutes, I received a call back stating that a therapist was available but there was no room available and they were sorry but I couldn't be seen today. I was informed that systems were being changed and that things were a little unorganized. This is entirely unacceptable for a neighborhood business (or any business for that matter) and think that they should cease doing business until they have fixed the critical process of effectively booking an appointment. If this has happened to me everytime I've tried to get in in the last 2 months (3 times now), I can't help but think that it is happening to others. How long does it take to get it together? An extreme disappointment and I will no longer continue to reccomend this as the best spa in Portland. Pros: Great Massages, Great Location, Nice Environment Cons: Can't schedule appointments more

The Dragon Tree is the real deal - it walks like a spa and quacks like a spa because it really IS a spa! I've been coming here for about a year and I have had consistently wonderful experiences with massage and foot baths (although I'm really sad that my favorite massage therapist left). The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating and not even remotely snooty (unlike some other local 'spas' - some of which aren't even really spas). They have a wide range of services available and I love that you could just come in for a foot massage/foot bath and take a little downtime or you could spend practically the entire day there. The space is also gorgeous and very calming/comfortable - it's easy to relax in this environment. The low lights and warm colors definitely take the edge off. I can finally stop trying a new spa every time I want spa services - the search is over and I found the winner. I'd had several spa visits in Los Angeles and Las Vegas before moving to Portland and trying a 'spa' here. One problem in Portland is that it seems like some places just randomly call themselves 'spas' and I'm not sure what qualifies them to label themselves as such (i.e. in LA, when you go to a spa, you can expect that there will be changing facilities with lockers and sauna/jacuzzi/cold plunge/steam room [or all of them] and that the staff will offer beverages and that the hospitality is warm and gracious; a place where you are sent to a room to change, have your service and re-dress all in the same room is not a spa, Portlanders!). more

My wife and I had an extraordinary time when we visited The Dragontree two weeks ago. Our massage therapists were fantastic - and for the first time ever leaving a massage I felt a significant difference in my body. My wife loved her massage also. The receptionist was friendly and inviting. The foot soaks were nice too. We will definitely be frequent visitors. Pros: massage, saunas, personable and sweet staff Cons: non more

The Dragontree atmosphere is intimate and organic. The warm colors relax you almost immediately. The massage and body work I recieved there was amazing. The best I've ever had. more

My friend and I went to the Dragontree for a 3 hour pampering. My friend got her foot soak while i waited almost 10 minutes before I got mine. We ordered tea and it never came, nor was it ever mentioned after we ordered it. Since my friend had been in the foot soak for almost 10 minutes more than me, they took us out of the foot soak and i only had 10 minutes in it! The facial was AMAZING. She did a great job and was very nice. Then while my friend went from her massage straight to the facial, i had to wait over 30 minutes for my massage. I paid over $200.00 for this treatment and felt I did a lot of waiting and got the short end of the stick compared to my friend. I don't think I will go again. Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: spendy more

A delightful spa.........lovely, serene with a good variety of services. The staff is knowledgable and most courteous and take great care to enhance your experience. Buying their products is NOT pushed and I totally appreciated that aspect, as well. We three friends that went together were very impressed. I highly recommend this soothing, relaxing experience. more

I have been to MANY spas in Portland. Dragontree is now my favorite. The people were so friendly and warm here and I felt at home. The value of their treatments is unmatched in Portland. I was really impressed with the value and prices here. Other spas seem much higher. I thought the ambience was very charming and exotic. Their "Teas" are wonderful too and great to sip on during your foot bath. Pros: warm staff, good prices, fabulous teas, value Cons: could not find, need bigger sign more

I have been to several spas in the Portland area and found my experience at the Dragontree to be somewhat disappointing. The atmopshere was mediocre. It seemed whoever chose the decor was trying too hard to be "relaxing" and "peaceful". But really it came across tacky, dishevled, and mainly needed a good cleaning. I arrived early to my appointment but had to wait 15 minutes or more until I was actually being serviced. The woman who gave me the facial was very kind and helpful. She had a lot of knowledge about skin and I appreciated all of her advice although I could tell she was very stressed but trying her hardest to make my experience a pleasant one. The room itself was also extremely hot and really quite uncomfortable. Amidst the shortcomings of the spa my facial was exceptional and I would love to continue to receive services from that particular employee again! When leaving the spa I didn't feel as relaxed as I had hoped. There seemed to be a lot of neagtive energy in the air. I would surely return if some much needed improvements were made to Dragontree. Pros: talented staff, quality facial Cons: poor cleanliness, tacky atmosphere more

Hello, today was my first time to DragonTree. I first received a footbath which was lovely, served with complimentary tea or water. Then a massage, which I must say was one of the best I have ever received. Followed by a trip to the sauna and shower. I left happy and relaxed. The establishment is clean and organized, staff professional. I found my new oasis. Pros: Calming, serene Cons: n/a more

I went to The DragonTree for the first time in March. I tried the monthly special so that I could have a sample of the various services they offer. I was not disppointed. Three of the treatments were done by Tanya and my facial was done by Ginny. Everything was great. The facility was comfortable and I felt very relaxed and refreshed when I left. I will recommend this spa to my friends and I will go there again myself! more

Imagine my treat when my husband surprised me with a mother's ay spa day. I had such a wonderful time and felt truly pampered. What I loved most is that this is not a place that does manicures, pedicures, and hair. This place is about a whole body relaxation experience. Tonya was so wonderful and made my foot soak, foot and hand and full body massage magical. The surroundings are decorated like India, including the music, to add to the experience. My facial was very relaxing and my face glowed. Come early and use the sauna and have a cup of tea. I know that I will be back- I will be sending my daughter here for her birthday in August. Thank you Dragontree for a amazing time!! I felt truly special! Heidi M. Pros: atomsphere, staff was so friendly, best pampering around Cons: nothing!! more

I have never been to a spa before so my review is not a comparison. I just really wanted to praise The People at The Dragon Tree for making my birthday treat special. I loved the seemingly unlimited use of the sauna with all the ammenities..shower, and products to fix yourself back up when done.. My facial was amazing and there was no sales pressure...I still bought all the products she used and my skin has visibly improved I have been struggling with enlarged pores and clogged pores forever. I feel too spoiled when i get my feet pampered so i had a hard time not giggiling during my soak..but the massage was done by a fellow by the name of lincoln..he was amazing he let me tell him exactly how i like it..i know its not important how my massuse looked, but he was beautiful and professional and i thought it was a sweet bonus. I like how you can just come in for sauna time as well. i cant believe it when people go to spas that dont have any sauna or hot tub...but thats just me.. Pros: sauna time unlimited Cons: no advice about products i bought more

I recently came to the Dragontree and it was so wonderful! I saw Ginny for a facial and she was amazing! Her touch was perfect. The Dragontree is an absolute gem, beautiful and calming, and the staff is very warm and friendly. Thank you! more

Everytime I go to The Dragontree I have a great experience. The staff is warm and sincere and they do great work! I have had a few different "spa combinations" with facials and massage and foot stuff - and I am never disappointed. The massuers have all been very attentive to my desires and the facialist is also very talented. I will continue to go back for my monthly pampering! more

We went to the Dragontree on Friday evening for our 30th anniversary - and we loved it!! It was perfectly romantic, very relaxing, and the services were fantastic! I highly recommend trying their services in the couch room where you can cuddle up and be treated like royalty. We'll be back - thank for making it a memorable anniversary :) more

Going to the Dragontree is like escaping into comfort. Not like going to a place that is an "escape" but feels too akward to relax, but really a place where right from the moment that you walk in you feel beautifully at home and in a sanctuary at the same time. The receptionist who greeted us was calm, beautiful, and welcoming. The sauna/locker/shower area is perfectly lit and wonderfully designed. My massage was the best massage I have ever had (and I have had a lot!) and my foot bath was more relaxing than I could have imagined. My girlfriend loved her facial and joined me in their "community room" for a foot soak where we drank tea, relaxed, and NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE. From my experience at spas and other retreat centers - this place is the perfect combination of peace, authenticity, and beauty that I have always been looking for. I will definately come back. Pros: therapies, atmosphere, welcoming more

I'm writing this review to share something about CitySearch that viewers may not understand. When a practitioner or business has never been reviewed, rather than designating them as "Not Rated," CitySearch aribitrarily assigns them a number in the low 7's -- usually about 7.1. Most viewers will assume this means this practitioner or business has been rated somewhat poorly. Many fantastic practitioners (as well this practitioner) fall into this category because we just don't pay attention to CitySearch -- and little do we know we have some of the lowest ratings on CitySearch. Someone might follow a link to CitySearch to find our phone number and then discover -- Uh Oh, we only rate 7.1 -- and decide not to see us. But, easy as it could be to change, CitySearch won't simply put "Not Rated" (I've asked), because the current policy gets disgruntled businesspeople to tell everyone they know to visit this site and vote for them to get them out of this predicament. Please, don't disregard this practitioner, nor the many other great practitioners out there based on the numbers you see on this site. more
