I've been to many spas, including destination and salon based. Even with the most luxurious surroundings, you can still feel like you are in a spa factory where they get you in and out. At Spa of Essex, I had one of the best massage experiences I have ever had. The staff was an absolute pleasure and the environment was truly relaxing. I loved the decor- looks like a great deal of attention was paid to making this not feel like just another spa. The set up is perfect for a day with girlfriends- very large treatment rooms, beautiful nail room, fabulous lunch from the Griswald Inn in Essex. No hard sell in the treatment rooms. Loved that its privately owned and the owner is there to make sure your experience is special. Spoke with several repeat customers who felt the same as me and are tired of the corporate owned spas. The massage/facial/nail treatments are extensive, and apparently there will be new rooms added soon with even more services. Absolutely worth a visit!
