The AUTUMN GOLD Room
Rich autumn tones of burnished gold, rust, crimson, and olive amid falling and blowing leaves of maple and oak. Feel like royalty as you comfortably lay down on comfortable linens for your sugaring services.

The FACIAL FOREST
The highlight of our studio spa!
Imagine entering a forest clearing where a warm, cozy fireplace, glowing salt rocks, and candlelight awaits. In the background are twinkling fireflies and small butterflies that seem to dance among the indigenous species of pines, mosses, cattails, and more. Sink into premium memory foam, close your eyes and drift away as your Facial Artisan works to soothe tension and gently revitalize your skin.
