In October 2009, The Secret Spa moved to the historic Belvedere House, where it became a full-service spa and salon—a welcoming retreat built in 1902. where comfort and beauty come together. Our goal is simple: to help you feel at ease the moment you arrive. Whether you’re here to indulge in a soothing massage, savor the decadence of a refreshing facial, enjoy a fresh new look, or treat yourself to a little pampering for your hands and feet, every service is given with care and attention to your needs. We delight in creating an atmosphere where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and truly relish time set aside just for yourself. Each visit is more than a service; it is an experience designed to nurture your mind and spirit as much as your body.
At The Secret Spa, we believe self-care should feel like coming home. Our team is here not only to share their expertise but also to offer kindness, encouragement, and a listening ear. Here, you are invited to indulge in the luxury of feeling cared for while wrapped in an environment that is warm and welcoming. We want everyone to leave feeling renewed, balanced, and ready to carry that sense of peace into your everyday life. More than just a spa and salon, we are a place where moments blossom into cherished memories, and where every guest becomes part of our extended family.

Bio Coming Soon

Nash
Front Desk/Spa Coordinator
Nash (Scott) Weber
Front Desk/Spa Coordinator
Hi, I’m the new Front Desk/Spa Coordinator at The Secret Spa. Although, I’ve been here as Richelle’s Partner for many years. While I have next to no direct spa experience, I bring over 40 years in the food service industry and 27 years as a professional Chef—rubbing elbows (and sometimes rib roasts) while organizing kitchens from corporate hotels and fine dining to mom-and-pop restaurants. My background gives me a unique perspective on customer service: I treat every guest as the most important client in the room, making sure their needs are met with warmth, attention, and just the right touch of polish.
In Cajun culture, there’s a word—“lagniappe”—which means “a little something extra,” and that’s exactly the spirit I bring to my role. Whether it’s a smile, an extra effort to make someone’s day easier, or simply ensuring that every visit feels like the best service we can possibly provide, I believe in always adding that extra touch.

I began my journey as a massage therapist 20 years ago. Throughout the years, I have refined my skills and expanded my practice through advanced training while learning to attentively listen to each client. I customize my techniques intuitively to address the specific needs of every individual, striving to deliver the best outcomes. I incorporate various methods into my work, including Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Swedish Massage, and Hot Stone Therapy. My goal is to create a nurturing and healing environment, allowing my clients to relax, rejuvenate and restore their wellbeing.

Hair Stylist
Alicia Knight
Hair Stylist
I’ve known since I was ten years old that I wanted to be a hairstylist, and I’ve been living that dream as a licensed cosmetologist since 2011. I love working with clients of all ages, whether it’s executing the perfect cut, creating bold or more natural colors, or simply giving someone that confidence-boosting refresh. For me, it’s all about connection—I take the time to get to know each guest so their style truly reflects who they are, all while making sure they feel relaxed and cared for in my chair. As a homegrown Asheville native, I’ve always been inspired by the creative, vibrant vibe of the city. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll usually find me with my husband, daughter, and our fur babies—or bringing just as much joy and energy into the dance studio as I do into the salon
