Get Your Glow Back At a Day Spa
BY JEANNE DAVANT, Senior Writer, NORTH Magazine
What could be better for Valentine’s Day than a couple’s massage or a soak with a significant other in hot mineral water? Several local day spas are offering specials on spa services for couples or individuals who just want to relax, refresh and renew with luxurious face and body treatments. Here’s a sampling of what’s available at local spas:
Strata Spa at Garden of the Gods Resort and Club
3320 Mesa Rd. Suite A, Colorado Springs, CO 80904
719-520-4988 • stratawell.com
For ultimate luxury, Strata Spa offers memorable experiences for two at its VIP Couples’ Suite, with an emphasis on wellness. Side-by-side couples treatments include the Ayurvedic Immersion couples ritual — a full-body massage, kansa wand facial, balancing foot bowl massage, Shirodhara (oil steadily dropped on the forehead) and scalp massage. Other couples therapies include detox and renew treatments and the Strata
Couples Escape, featuring their signature 50- or 80-minute Strata Signature Massage. Any of the couples treatments can be followed by the Private Relaxation Enhancement, an additional 30 minutes of private relaxation with a glass of sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries.
For individuals in need of a wellness makeover, Strata Spa is continuing to offer its New Year, New You package through March 31. This suite of services includes transformative wellness coaching, fitness evaluation, immune boosting IV therapies, nutrition consultation and more, plus a personalized plan based on results of each therapy. The package is valued at $600 and offered for $299.
Day Lily Salon and Spa
5975 N. Academy Blvd. #203 Colorado Springs, CO 80918 719-260-5544 • daylilysalonandspa.com
February specials at Day Lily Salon and Spa include a Luxury Rejuvenation Package with classic European facial, moisturizing body wrap, spa pedicure and gel manicure, plus lunch; a Wrap Your Day in Luxury Package with body wrap and facial; and a Hydrate Your Soul Package with facial, pedicure and manicure. The spa also offers a four pack of gel pedicures at a discounted rate.
A unique service offered at the spa is ultrasonic cavitation, a pain-free body sculpting treatment that uses lowfrequency sound waves to burst fat cells and reduce cellulite, varicose veins, stretch marks and scars. (Although this procedure is FDA-approved, it’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate — customers should read the contraindications section on Day Lily’s website and research in advance.) Treatment can be combined with other spa and salon services: the Melt Yourself Away Package includes ultrasonic cavitation on one area of the body plus a moisturizing body wrap.
International Salon & Spa Academy
5707 N. Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO 80918
719-597-1413 • csbeautyschools.com
For the budget-minded, the students at International Salon & Spa Academy perform client services under the direct supervision of certified instructors. Skin services include facials; lip, eye and décolleté firming treatments; and waxing. Haircuts and styling, color and conditioning, and spa manicures and pedicures are also offered. Services for men include shaves, beard and mustache trims, as well as hair color, cuts and styling. Prices are affordable: A 30-minute Glow Getter Brightening Facial is $25, and haircuts and styling begin at $15.
SunWater Spa
514 El Paso Blvd., Manitou Springs, CO 80829
719-695-7007 • sunwaterspa.com
SunWater Spa draws the healing, mineral-rich waters that fill its outdoor cedar hot tubs from a spring beneath what was once sacred land to the native Ute people. While the spa isn’t offering specific Valentine’s Day packages, a 90-minute couple’s soak in one of the spa’s heated tubs with stunning views of the surrounding mountains provides a peaceful, relaxing and romantic experience. Soaks can be combined with couples spa services such as the Darma Duet, a side-by-side massage and skin care package — each partner receives a 50-minute Alma massage and a 50-minute custom Éminence facial.
The spa recently added a new hydrotherapy room and offers unique treatments like the 80-minute Healing Waters, a Moroccan oil hair mask and scalp massage followed by a full-body sugar scrub and mango enzyme wrap, a warm Vichy shower, eye stone treatment, shampoo and condition, and application of firming body lotion and oil. For all services and soaks, reservations are recommended at least a week in advance.
