Vibes Massage & Spa has been awarded first place in two categories of the 2026 Favorites of the Foothills Reader’s Choice Awards: Favorite Massage/Spa Center and Favorite Aesthetician. The Tryon Daily Bulletin announced the winners in August 2026. This marks the spa’s third consecutive year as Favorite Massage/Spa Center and its first year winning Favorite Aesthetician.
The annual awards invite readers to vote for their favorite local businesses, people and organizations across Polk County, NC, including Tryon, Columbus, Saluda and Mill Spring, as well as nearby Landrum and Campobello in upper Spartanburg County, SC. The newspaper reported that thousands of ballots were cast this year, underscoring the strong community engagement behind the honors.
The recognition matters for local residents because it signals consistent quality and trust in a business that offers a range of services under one roof. Vibes Massage & Spa provides massage therapy, esthetician services, reflexology, and manicures & pedicures along with other spa treatments at its Columbus location, giving clients access to comprehensive care in one comfortable space.
Winning Favorite Aesthetician for the first time expands the spa’s recognition beyond massage services, suggesting that its esthetician offerings are resonating with voters. The third straight win in the massage/spa category indicates sustained customer satisfaction rather than a one-time surge.
For a small community like Polk County, such awards can influence consumer choices and business visibility. The full list of winners is available on the Tryon Daily Bulletin website.
Vibes Massage & Spa welcomes clients from across the Foothills of North and South Carolina. More information about the spa and its services can be found at vibesmassageandspa.com.
