Sanctuary Day Spa

Exceptional spa for the price!
Cleanliness, relaxation and customer service are critical qualities when I select a spa. I want to enjoy the ENTIRE experience from check-​in to check out. It is obviously also essential that I enjoy my service, in my case deep tissue massage, and the Sanctuary Day Spa has the most incredible and experienced service providers.
Other notes:
–The Spa is located inside an incredible health club and they encourage arriving early to use the steam, sauna and gorgeous jacuzzi. That was an unexpected treat!!!
–The spa area is very relaxing and super clean — essential for me
–They carry Janmarini products!!!
I enjoyed my experience so much that I scheduled my next appointment before I left:-)

I have been going to this «spa» at the Cherry Creek Athletic Club for several months now and have had the following treatments: massage, Jan Marini facial, bikini wax, manicure and pedicure. All of them have been done multiple times and with varied providers. Here is my take…
Facials – The Jan Marini is considered the top of the line by the girls there. Though they offer Eminence and Sanitas it is what they all use and recommend. It is a very relaxing facial and can be combined with other treatments such as microderm. I have very sensitive skin then is prone to breakouts and like that they have the blue light thingy (technical jargon) that kills bacteria and prevents post facial breakouts. Melanie is my favorite provider for this service as well as bikini waxing.
Waxing: I have had bikini waxes by two individuals who used two different techniques. The first was Melanie, who uses the blue wax that hardens and gets peeled off without the use of cloth. The second time I had it done was the old school way with wax and cloth. I, personally, had a better result with the blue wax, but know that you have options in this department.
Mani/​pedi: I usually go for the regular ones, not the spa version with parrafin (sp?) because I don’t really see a difference in the end result and often am short on time. I’m going to butcher her name, but I like Jusesita for these treatments. Their polish selection is so-​so, bring in your own if you want to ensure freshness.
Massage: My favorite treatment. I have gone to serveral girls here and like Valeria and Nicole best – in no particular order. Sometimes how I book just depends on which one of them is available when I have time. They are both great.
Lastly, I should say that there is not much of a spa-​like atmosphere here. They will offer you a robe and the waiting area has magazines, water and teas. It is very basic. You will be using the gym locker room if you want to sit in the hot tub or steam room. While everything is clean, it’s not a quiet, relaxing atmosphere in the locker room. For me, it is a convenient way to get treatments and exercise in with one stop.

I’ve already booked my next appointment. This was, by far, the best manicure I’ve ever had. It lasted a full two weeks, through rounds of dish washing, laundry, and typing (absolutely unheard of)! I suppose I’d visited one too many «discount» nail shops where the art of the manicure has been completely lost, e.g. you do not file (in a back and forth motion, no less) wet nails! I appreciated the manicurist’s professionalism and the lack of annoyance at the fact that I have no desire for acryllics (au naturel, baby)! The spa was extremely clean and uncluttered and my appointment time was devoted solely to me. Love it.
