Atlanta Spa Faces Racism Allegations After Content Creator's Viral Post

Atlanta, GA – A recent social media video by content creator Ajalè Noel has ignited a controversy, bringing forth serious accusations of discriminatory practices against WoodHouseSpa Buckhead. In a widely shared video uploaded on October 13, 2025, Noel recounts her experience, alleging that the luxury spa enforces policies that disproportionately affect Black patrons, specifically regarding the use of cameras within the establishment. Noel, speaking directly to her audience with visible emotion, stated, "If you're a content creator or anything, or even if you're Black, please do not come to this place right here. Do not. They don't allow Black people in there. They don't allow people with their cameras to record. Well, they do allow people with their cameras, probably white people." She expressed deep frustration and a sense of injustice, highlighting that she was initially told she could record but was later confronted and stopped. "It's completely disrespectful," Noel asserted. "It's not an illegal thing to record yourself having a good time. It's not." She further emphasized her professional background, noting her experience covering various luxury establishments across North America, including the Ritz-Carlton and The Whitley, where recording is typically permitted. The incident, which Noel described as having a "very nice experience" with her masseuse but an "unacceptable" interaction with the general manager, has quickly sparked discussion online regarding potential racial bias in customer service. Noel concluded her video by reiterating her strong advice to viewers, "Do not come here, or come at your own risk," and indicated her intention to release additional footage related to the alleged discriminatory treatment. This public complaint raises questions about the spa's policies and their application, prompting a need for further investigation into the claims made by Ms. Noel. WoodHouseSpa Buckhead has not yet publicly responded to these specific allegations, but the video continues to circulate, drawing attention to the issue.
