Great spa! Very beautiful and calming atmosphere. The relaxation room and locker room are modern, well kept, and relaxing. Everyone I encountered was kind and helpful.

I treated my 74-year-old mother to a birthday facial, and the staff and experience at Essentials Medispa & Salon were outstanding. Check-in was seamless, the team was so polite, and the facial itself was a little slice of heaven. I highly recommend Essentials for anyone who needs a break from the world or as a special treat for a loved one or occasion.

I was visiting family from out of town and was incredibly tight from my flight. I booked a massage and was pleasantly surprised at how nice this spa was! I left feeling so much better.
