Etheria Salon & Day Spa
Reviews
This place is a heavenly oasis located in Montrose. Having only known the Asian foot rubs of China town, this type of spa was totally foreign to me. I felt like a Walmart shopper stepping into a Whole Foods. If getting a massage, remember to get there 10 - 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. The serenity begins by changing into a robe and slippers, available to you in a locker where your belongings will be safely kept. Then they offer you a glass of cucumber mint water. For a second, I seriously contemplated kicking my Sunkist addiction and going straight cuke-mint water for the rest of my life. I asked my masseuse, Roxy, about the difference between the Aromatherapy massage and the Swedish massage. Her response was, "Why don't I just do both?" Right answer. I relaxed for a moment in a dark, intimate waiting room before being led to my private massage table for what was to be one of the best massages I've had. Roxy was very attentive, making sure each detail was just right - from the scents to the lighting and even ensuring that my belongings were properly locked up. We started with a paraffin wax treatment on my hands and she was very gentle (not like those friggin' Asian places where they just burn your skin off without apology). Her massage was so good I couldn't believe it. I could have sworn she had 4 arms, continuously moving and getting my knots out. It's like her hands never left my body once. My 50 minutes flew by and soon I was incoherently stumbling back to the front desk. I like that you can leave a tip in a little mail slot instead of having to hand it over to your masseuse/hair dresser/whathaveyou. It reduces the pressure to tip high for mediocre service... but there was nothing mediocre about this massage. The people at Etheria really pampered me, and I hope to come back again soon. You know... once I've won the lottery or struck oil.
Ana at Etheria is, hands down, the best colorist in town. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. Ever.
I just got home from Etheria! I feel and look like a million bucks! I got a hot stone massage from Sandy, it was heavenly! I got a facial from Luisa and my skin looks and feels awesome! Both Sandy and Luisa have baby soft hands! I then received a pedi and mani from Tu (sp. ?) She was excellent and very patient! I enjoy the atmosphere in the spa! Everyone is so kind and cordial! Thanks Etheria!!!! :)
My husband treated us to a couple's massage. It was absolutely wonderful. Jodi & Sandy were super massage therapists. The atmosphere was delightful. After our hour massage we were taken to a quiet room & treated to champagne & chocolates. We were never rushed to leave, just encouraged to enjoy the relaxation we felt. We have had massages at other places, but this place was far & above the best we've experienced. We will definitely be back!!
