Get Pampered in Luxury
By Maggie Caldwell
A Glowing Body
It’s said the face is the mirror of the soul, so treat it well with a customized facial. Whether you need a Quick Fix, Therapeutic facial, or a classic European Spa Facial, one of the experienced estheticians will analyze your skin and help determine what treatment will most benefit your skin. They also offer microdermabrasion, micro-current facial toning, back facials, and a complete selection of waxing services. There’s even a shower available for use before or after spa treatments. “Some clients come straight from the gym, and some don’t want to leave feeling oily,” explains Carol, “so we have a shower they can use.”
Pamper Your Hands and Feet
Carol and Julie had worked together for several years before becoming business partners. “We make a good team; we each have our own focus, which creates a good synergy,” Carol explains. “Our services are always evolving.” For example, teeth whitening and sunless spray tanning are two specialty services they introduced to meet customers’ needs, and brand-new in 2015: eyelash extensions. “We’re also offering permanent make-up in the near future,” she says.
They also love to host parties. “We often have small groups of friends or family members, usually to celebrate birthdays or weddings,” Julie says. With their wide array of services, the spa can accommodate a number of clients at once, and guests can relax with warm tea on comfortable couches in the communal quiet area between treatments.
Skin Care and Boutique Products
We carry a few unique lines of skin care products covering all needs from acne to aging,” Julie points out. These lines include Cosmedix, Glo Minerals and Glo Therapeutics, Jan Marini, Hempz, and RevitaLash. The boutique carries as a variety of jewelry made by area artists as well as locally made Hip E Chick organic body care products. “DreamTime pillows are also a popular seller,” says Carol. The pillows are filled with herbs and flax seeds and can be heated or cooled to help with relaxation or healing, especially at home after a treatment.
For Valentine’s Day, Scotts Valley Spa has a heart-shaped DreamTime pillow for you to give your sweetheart along with a gift certificate from Scotts Valley Spa & Boutique. Carol and Julie “always recommend you get a gift certificate instead of a surprise appointment. That way she can choose the treatment she’d like best at a time that works best for her.”
