Essentiels Spa

What’s the latest and greatest at Essentiels? Eyelash extensions, a panoply of treatment facials, a new skincare makeup line, paraben-free airbrush tanning, a new nailcare line with no-chip mani-pedi, Thai massage and 10 percent discount for students. Essentiels Spa opened in 1997 as a full-service spa and has continually provided the best spa experience in Boulder. Spa Director Lindsay Dunsmore says, “Essentiels is a sanctuary designed to allow our guests to step away from their worries and stresses and refresh their mind, body and spirit while receiving cutting-edge treatments. This is Boulder’s spa and is truly a unique escape. The staff and I are supremely committed to exceeding our client’s expectations. We proactively stay on the forefront of skin rejuvenation, effective waxing, therapeutic massage and detox treatments, pampering nail services, natural airbrush tanning and special- occasion makeup. I initially came here as a client and am honored to uphold the reputation of the spa through community involvement, volunteering for worthy causes, client appreciation and sustainability.”

Essentiels, which opened in 1997, is one of the Premier Spas of America – 40 elegant spas, salons and boutiques throughout North America that provide luxurious and beneficial wellness and beauty services. Spa director Lisa Frost points out some features that set Essentiels apart from other spas. “We have eight different full-day spa packages,” she says, “ranging from The Stress Buster, an aromatherapy tub followed by a full body massage, for $130; to the six-and-a-half-hour Day Out Extravaganza, with salt and oil body glow, Phytomer, a deluxe facial, full-body massage, manicure, pedicure and catered lunch, all for $375.” Essentiels provides a steam room and dry sauna for its clients, unlike other local spas, says Frost. “It is our mission at Essentiels Spa to improve quality of life through physical and mental rejuvenation. We strive to surpass expectations, and it is our labor of love to create memorable moments. Our staff works passionately to build enduring and rewarding relationships with our clients and community, through knowledge, wellness and superior service.”
