I have been going to Alta Spa since I moved to Ithaca two years ago. The shop is full of really beautiful interesting clothing, jewelery, pocketbooks and beauty products and the owner is very knowledgeable about hair and skin care.
In this age of discount/express services, Alta Spa individualizes services to meet clients needs and personal preferences.They take the time and make the effort to get to know their clients and give personal attention.
The energy is very calm and inviting. When I have had a challenging week, I make an appointment at Alta Spa to refuel and be pampered.
One of the aspects i enjoy the most is the fact that the same person performs multiple services. It is not an 'assembly line' type of place where one is passed around from station to station in an impersonal way. When i go in for a hair cut and color, i am with the same practitioner the entire time from shampoo to color to hair cut. The conversation and connection made possible in this way is as wonderful as the procedure being done.
I would recommend this place to discerning customers who are looking for quality services in a unique environment.
