Instant Karma Asheville

I live in West Avl so I frequent this shop a lot and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. It's wares are quality eclectic and the staff is wonderful! I had an especially excellent interaction today with Slater. He was super patient and kind while I wiled away the better part of an hour deciding on a ring I wanted to buy. He advised me to size up due to the width of the band and then showed me a super sweet fragrance roller. I have to say this is my favorite shop in Asheville and if you haven't popped in do yourself a favor and get some Instant Kharma! Ps went back to the shop today and scored these sick finds! I had a lovely experience with Cameron and Merf! Cam and I discussed a UFO documentary and the importance of spirits and colors in your home and I HAD to give it to Merf for the uniqueness of their jewelry and kindness. All three of these peeps are dolls and you're lucky to interact with any of them!!

I browsed this cute little shop as I waited for my reading from the psychic and all of the staff were super friendly. The real amazing experience came after the reading when I emerged from the back and was still full of emotion. The employee (didn't get their name but I remember they are a Capricorn) was so sweet and offered a listening ear about my current spiritual journey. They were super helpful and guided me to the most helpful crystals for my current issues. I will for sure be stopping by in the future as the store just feels like home! Many blessings to all the friendly staff but much appreciation to the amazing Capricorn who held space for me in that moment!

You'll definitely find something you want here or a cool gift for a friend. They have clothing, jewelry, stickers, candles, decor that's either oriented toward meditation, devotion or new age spiritual practices. Most days they have psychic readers in the back of the shop. The staff are super helpful & friendly. It's all in all a great place to shop or window shop.

Excellent and Friendly staff. I went in to shop for incense and they had a wide variety of scents. Also when I went inside I brought my 2 years old cousin with me and he started crying and I saw a staff member come up to us and I fully expected to be asked to leave but he reached for a steel drum and started playing it for him and he instantly stopped crying. Really touched my heart thank you so much! I don’t normally do reviews but they deserve it.

So I love the Frankincense and Myrrh and the Egyptian Oak Moss.
They smell BEAUTIFUL !

This is an amazing store, pipes, hats, buttons, bumper stickers, necklaces, incense, clothes, tapestries, flip books, singing bowls, back packs, hand bags, stones, walking sticks, sun glasses, and souvenir tshirts. Super friendly employees.

Awesome and inviting atmosphere! Friendly and very helpful staff too! Will definitely be back when I visit again.

This shop is by far the most friendly, has the best energy, and has a selection from even MY days, ( yes kids, that means I'm old. Lol). So, whether you are looking to browse, buy, or just have a deep conversation, Instant Karma is your place!

I met some of the coolest younger-than me-people working in this store and though I was hot and tired, like everyone else, they stopped and took time for this grey haired old lady. Hahahaha Don't let that hair fool ya! Back to the store; whether you need crystals at a very reasonable price, candles, books, or any other thing you may find in an upscale specialty shop...you only need to visit Instant Karma!

Just please, be a good human and don't pocket any items. Because Karma is swift and painful.
Namaste´ ✨🙏✨

I always stop by for incense or a handmade purse. Bought my girlfriend a nice dress from the downtown location.

Shelby! You are a gem! She is so sweet and very knowledgeable. Super friendly staff and I cannot wait to return for more stones and to learn more about them! Thank you for making me feel welcome and teaching me a few things as I am very new to this and want to learn everything!

I placed an online order one evening as I'm not in the Asheville area and received a call early the next day. While they didn't have exactly what I had ordered in stock they were amazingly proactive in offering solutions and meeting my needs. When I'm in Asheville next I'll be sure to stop into the store itself because of the service they offered online and over the phone. Thank you for being accommodating!

Stopped here on a whim since a nearby, similar store was closed. I'm fully convinced it was meant to happen, because I fell in love with Instant Karma! The gentleman working the counter was very kind and wrapped up our purchases with care. There's a very lovely variety of items here. Crystals, tarot cards, books, altar pieces, clothing and MUCH more. I hate that we don't live close because I would frequent this shop often.

To Leon Russell look alike and his artist girlfriend!!! Great people, wonderful conversations, stop in and collect good energy. The Red Tracker Couple-love the bees!!!

Such a cute place with really sweet and helpful staff! Stopped in on Sunday night (10/24) and felt such good energy when approaching the store and felt drawn in by that alone! Really unique and beautiful clothing items, tapestries/posters, locally made candles - ended up going back today to get more stuff.

The two people working in there were seriously some of the best souls I've ever met! Amazing vibes, amazing product. Will 100% be coming back every chance I get!

Cool place for gifts and apparel. They also have my favorite yerba mate here, which is also local.

Absolutely love Shelby and Jerry's store. They were so amazing. They connect with you and really make you feel welcome. Plus everything in the store is amazeballs.

Still amazing every time I visit.

It’s one of my favorite hippy stores! It’s really hard to control yourself in there because they have so many cool and wonderful items. I especially love their clothing, particularly their crop-tops. The staff are chill and super helpful. I love that they are honest about their products and are genuinely kind. The atmosphere is wonder, it smells nice and it’s just a great place in general. A lot of stores feel really busy energy wise and this is one of the few places that it feels relaxing to shop. The sales people don’t have to be super pushy because the products sell themselves. 10/10

I loved this store! The staff was extra friendly to me and my mother who were in Asheville for the first time exploring the area. They not only gave me a discount on my purchase when they discovered that I was celebrating my birthday, but also gave us insider tips on the best areas to explore in the area for breathtaking views which we definitely appreciated. When I go back to Asheville I will definitely be giving them a visit again. They also had a nice mixture of goods ranging from crystals, incense, pendulums, clothing, sunglasses and more. If you have a bohemian/ vintage sense of style then this a store you would most definitely want to check out.

For sure go check it out, you won’t be disappointed! Me and my husband adore this place. Both locations are so welcoming and full of great energy. Each time we go is an unforgettable experience. Their selection of items and their superb customer service gets us every time. 10/10 recommend this store. Shop local and support small businesses 🥰💗
