Let’s face it. Sometimes you just need a day (or sometimes just a couple of hours) to relax, unwind and pamper yourself. So many of us here in Boulder lead a go, go, go lifestyle that we forget to take a little of that oh-so important “me time,” but finding a good massage therapist, aesthetician or spa can add another knot in your already tense back. Relax; we’ve done the leg work for you! For those of you looking for a little luxurious spa time, here’s a list of some of the best Boulder spas.
Spa at St. Julien
The hotel itself is known for its luxury in downtown Boulder and the spa at St. Julien reflects that as well. While the fitness center and pool are reserved for guests of the hotel, you can make an appointment for one of their many rejuvenating spa treatments. They even feature indigenous plants in their treatments created from local plants, seeds and stones, as well as herbs from the on-site herb garden. It’s really the spa of all Boulder spas if you’re looking for the royal treatment.
j lounge
If you’re looking for a place that offers a bunch of great services all around, then j lounge is a great place to make an appointment. They offer manicures and pedicures, as well as massage and facials. The space is bright and inviting and makes guests feel comfortable immediately. As an added bonus, they have spa service for men as well as women.
Tru Skincare & Makeup
This spa uses a line of products made right here in Boulder: Sanitas, which accelerates the rejuvenating process of the skin. They offer facials and peels, as well as waxing, tinting and professional makeup application. Tru is a great choice for women looking for flawless makeup for special events such as weddings or modeling sessions.
The Dragon Tree Spa
This holistic day spa offers a myriad of services that help to relax and cleanse your mind as well as your body. Dragon Tree Spa offers services such as acupuncture, massage, Ayurveda, body treatments and skin treatments. For a completely amazing spa day, we recommend trying the Full Bliss Ayurveda Immersion package, since it offers relaxing, invigorating, cleansing and rejuvenating treatments.
Leah Nickie Advanced Aesthetics
Does your face need a little pick-me-up? This is the place to go! Leah Nickie offers a wide variety of facials, from basic skin treatments, to some slightly more technical treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels. They also offer medical aesthetics such as Juvederm, Botox and Restylane, so that you can keep your youthful glow for many years to come! Heads up, Leah is typically booked for months in advance, so be sure to plan ahead for this spa day.
