I slept wrong and had a kink in my neck. Betty, at Spa Universaire, was lovely and scheduled me an appointment that same day (I called at 9:00 and my appt was at 12:15). Betty t...

Great Massage 11/23/2007

My husband has recieved many massages over the years and after he had a massage at Spa Universaire-he said he won't go anywhere else. His massage therapist gave just the right amount of pressure in the right spots. Lucy was phenomenal and he can't wait to go back for more work to be done. For those who have not tried their steam shower-it's so relaxing and inviting. Pros: Great massage therapists Cons: The music more

Worst Experience Ever 10/6/2007

I was there with a friend and we both had an awful time. I have been to a lot of spas and this is the worst place I have ever been.The "relaxation room" is actually a hallway, which makes it anything but relaxing. The steam room barely fits two people and the changing rooms are a joke. I had a facial that was so-so. The room that I was in had water stains all over the ceiling tiles which made for an unpleasant start. The esthetician only used a couple of different oils/lotions and seemed very rushed to get through the process. When I finished with my facial, my face still seemed dry and my eyes were puffy and irritated. During my massage, when I was face-down, the male therapist removed the sheets and had my body almost fully revealed! When he had me roll over, he did not look away while I turned over. Instead he continued looking at me. To say the least, this was very uncomfortable and extremely inappropriate. This was the first time that I did not fall asleep during a massage because I felt so uncomfortable that I could not relax. My friend and I were suppose to finish our day with a pedicure, however when we went into the pedicure room, we couldn't even go through with it. They had metal bins that they had to hand fill with water that was supposed to be for your feet. We decided to cut our loses and leave. I would NEVER reccomend this place to anyone. Cons: The entire experience more

Not a real SPA 9/19/2007

I was very disappointed with Spa Universaire. I was very excited upon arrival, because the Spa is located in a very cool building, so I assumed it would be a fabulous Spa. I was totally wrong. It is small, old smelling and the worse part about the entire experience was men and women share the same bathroom and waiting room. It is very strange to be sitting in your robe next to a couple of men in their robes as well. The service was decent; however, if you are looking for a true spa experience?.please go somewhere else. Pros: Good Location Cons: Men and Women share the same bathroom and waiting rooms....Old and Smelly more

Stellar Deep Tissue Work with Ken!!! 9/9/2007

The service is a little fluffy, but not required. Most of the individuals who work there have a professional and caring approach to their service. Ken S. is an amazing healer and does wonders with his massage. I would strongly recommend him for any deep tissue work, and I am sure he is equally as excellent with other types. Pros: Great Massage! more

so staged, unprofessional 4/29/2007

I went here for some services and this place is a joke. The staff has this RIDICULOUS greeting they give at the door that is so impersonal. The carpet is bright green and the interior decorating looks like it is from 1970. The staff seems so uptight, as if they miss a LINE in the script they will get fired- come on , just be yourself. The service was ok, but nothing special. There are many other places in Denver to go that beat this one. more

This is the BEST spa in Denver. Period. 12/30/2006

I have been to probably every spa in this town, seriously. But, I have found a home at Spa Universaire. First, they ALWAYS treat me with respect, whether I am dressed nicely or in sweats. Second, their staff is always friendly and on top of things. Third, and most importantly, Keda is the best masseuse I have ever had. I have had massages with her and the Marma Point Massage (OH MY GOD) - they are both fabulous treatments. Keda listens to you and she is friendly before the massage begins,but then once it begins, she knows to let you relax. My only complaint is that, once in a while, they leave you sitting in that back area without you really knowing whether they know you're back there or that they know who you are. But, I've never had to wait too long and it is ALWAYS worth the wait (after all, you are there to relax - I just don't think most of us know how to do it!). This spa is the best. Pros: Keda, massage, Marma Point massage, atmosphere Cons: none more

Unprofessional Staff and Underaverage Services 7/22/2006

My girlfriends and I went to this spa and were greeted by staff members who were awkward and unprofessional. My massage was a fine experience but I had to sit in the waiting room entirely too long. My girlfriends both had nail services done-when making the appointments they were told these services would take just over an hour and in reality their services took over two hours! One of the nail techs had a pleasant demeanor but the tech did an awful job. The other nail tech was rude and standoff-ish. I would never return to this spa and would never recommend this spa to anyone else. Pros: Massage Cons: Staff, Nail Services, Atmosphere more

Nice place and atmosphere: avoided the massage 7/16/2006

My girlfriend had bought me the gift of a massage from Spa Universaire. The people are very nice and the atmosphere is very relaxing. However, I would avoid the Massage at Spa Universaire. The therapist spent very little time on my high stress areas and areas I requested special attention. If you are looking for a place with friendly staff and to relax, this is the place. If you are looking for a good massage....keep on looking. Pros: Multiple options Cons: bad massage more

Just what I needed! 2/28/2006

People assume that spa technicians get services for themselves on a regular basis. As an Esthetician, I can tell you "not so much". My boss rewarded me with a gift certificate here because she knew the owner, Caren, would make sure that I was well taken care of. This was such a treat because it got me out of my familiar atmosphere. I was prepared for a great experience and they delivered. The spa is beautiful. I had two very talented technicians; Anthony (for massage) and Kristen (for the facial and two body treatments). I could tell that both of these individuals really loved their profession. I KNOW when someone is giving from their heart versus going through the motions. I want to thank everyone for taking such good care of me. It's nice to know that I have some place to receive treatments outside of my workplace. Thanks again!! Pros: clean, quiet, professional Cons: parking more
