Massage and the Rejuvenating Spa
Manicure. This three-hour treatment
goes for $190.
The Pearl Day Spa & Hydrotherapy
Clinic, located at 1375 Pearl St, does
not provide the urban chic atmosphere
that Chikara is known for, but rather a
cozy, inviting feel that promotes well
ness and health.
"The atmosphere of The Pearl Day
Spa is warm and relaxing," manager
Katie St. Clair said. "It's not a modern
feel. Pretty much everything here at the
spa is related to wellness and taking
care of yourself."
The Pearl Day Spa has much more
of a homey feel, seeing as it is located
in an actual house.
"It's a beautiful oldturn-of-the-cen
tury house that we have made into a
luxurious and comfortable environ
ment," said owner Susan Zahn. "You
walkthrough the door and you enter
this whole other world. People say it's
very elegant, yet very comfortable."
Although the spa treatments
found at The Pearl Day Spa are the
focus of the spa, the environment
provided for customers is equally as
important to employees.
"We really pride ourselves on our
lounge because it's a place where we
have recliners and hanging hammock
chairs, a little fireplace which is set
up with twinkle lights and the (lighting
is) low," Zahn said. "People can go
into the lounge and just relax, away
from the reception area where the
phone is ringing. We try to keep that
all separated."
Groups are encouraged to visit The
Pearl Day Spa, as discounts for groups
are offered. The entire spa can be rent
ed out for the day by groups up to 10.

groups because we can see upto 10

their robes and slippers and are
