Red Door Spa far exceeded this spa goer’s expectations, and just may have gained a fan for life!
This was my first time participating in Spa Week as well as my first time going to a Red Door Spa. I had booked the 50 Min Spa Week Stress Melter Ritual with Exfoliation, Aroma Therapeutic Body Wrap and Relaxing Scalp Massage. I was not sure what to expect, but I knew they were probably booked solid so I somewhat expected a rushed service and a not so friendly technician who had been on her feet all day.
From the moment I walked in I got a totally different vibe than I expected, the staff was friendly the spa was so clean and relaxing and my service did not feel rushed at all. This was one of the best services I have ever had at a spa. I left feeling relaxed yet rejuvenated, my skin felt great and I am still in shock I got all of that for only $50! I think I will now be a ‘Spa Weeker’ for life.

I had been intrigued about the Catio Express non-surgical face lift at the Tribeca Spa of Tranquility for quite some time. Given that I’m a Spa Week regular at the spa (because they never fail to treat me like a princess there) and know that every service they offer always worked, I decided to give it a try. My aesthetician, Sara, started by giving me a basic cleansing, and then the fun began. I started feeling these vibrating sensations on parts of my face as Sara moved the equipment around. Even though I wouldn’t call it relaxing, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all (and I kept telling myself that it had gotta be better than going under the knife). After finishing the right side of my face, she gave me a mirror and I could see the puffiness under my eye was dramatically minimized, and my cheek was also fuller. She then proceeded to work on the other side, followed by a soothing mask and a quick shoulder massage. The shoulder and belly warmers were what I loved about this spa – their constant attention to details showed how they always strive to make sure the clients were pampered.
Last weekend I had an amazing time previewing a 
Being allergy-free, she began to gently cleanse my face, neck and décolleté with a goat’s milk cleanser. It smelled delicious and was velvety smooth. She used esthetic gauze to systematically massage and cleans my skin. Her hand motions were fluid and relaxing. After my layer of make-up and was removed and my skin cleansed, she then applied an organic toner comprised of rose water, jojoba and helichrysum (a natural astringent). Christina then diligently worked a mixture of oatmeal and lavender (natural exfoliants) into my skin, riding me of flaky and dry skin. After a quick cleansing of the exfoliant, Christina used a smooth bristle brush, similar to a foundation brush, to delicately stroke a green clay masque on to my face (see above). After a 20Min neck, shoulder and arm massage, a hot towel was then used to remove the masque and prep my pores for the next step.
