Now that life is starting to feel more settled and home is actually starting to feel like home again, I'm in search of a spa to call my very own. Since I anticapated this search months prior to moving back to NOLA, I purchase several Groupons and LivingSocial deals so I can explore varies spas without committing a mini spending crime (that being spending more than I should or have). But, I'm please to report moments ago, I had the best facial ever (and goodness knows how badly I needed it.) My skin currently hates me and has decided to rebel against me until I give it my full and undivided attention. And trust me... I have! Duke Morgan Spa located at 3607 Magazine St. was my skin first night on the town since I have been back and this is my mini review:
What did I love about this spa?
- Location: Hello! It's located on my ALL TIME favorite street! But, besides that, it was easy to find and conveniently located so if you are directionally challenged you can't get lost.
- Service: Both the owner, Duke, and the esthetician, Vicki, were sincerely pleasant. I hate when I go to a service establishment and the people are so overly nice that it's fake. I was only expecting a facial but she also massaged my foot, neck and shoulders extensively. It was like having two services for the price of one!
And to top it all off, I didn't feel pressured to buy anything additional to my service but instead I was given a sample to try.
- Appearance: The spa is housed in a classic New Orleans styled house with beautiful architectural details. It has all of its original hardwood floors and textured high ceilings. The colors of each room centainly paid amish (is that the correct spelling?!) to true New Orleans decor.
Although I'm almost sure this is the spa for me, I'll keep you update and let you know how or should I say if any of the other spas on my list measure up.
