Colorado’s Top Rated Local® Beauty Salon and Spa Award Winner: Urban Escape Day Spa

We are excited to announce that the team at Urban Escape Day Spa has won a 2018 Top Rated Local® award for their excellent service and outstanding 98.77 Rating Score®. Their outstanding reviews from happy customers got them here, and are incredibly well-deserved. Here are a couple that we think really capture the essence of Urban Escape:

“Urban Escape is a relaxing, pampering, stress-reducing spa where I go as much as possible to decompress and feel pampered. The staff is welcoming and clearly honor the comfort of all clients. I receive regular massages and have also had facials and frequent the nail services. All of my experiences have been positive. I always feel better when I walk out than I did when I walked in! Wonderful!” -Marcia H.

“I have been going to Urban Escape since they opened. It is locally owned. I have tried most of their services and have never been disappointed. It is immaculate, the technicians are very skilled, and the atmosphere is welcoming and incredibly relaxing. The line they carry is fabulous. Urban Escape gives back to the community in many ways, including toy drives for the Ronald McDonald House and providing a spa day at the Ronald McDonald House for moms on Mother’s Day. They have also been generous to Sky High Hope Camp, which is a camp for children with cancer and their siblings.” -Connie H.

Spa Manager, Kenna Long took the time to discuss Urban Escape Day Spa’s online reputation and commitment to excellence with us. This is what she had to say:

What is your secret to such a strong online reputation?

We have been blessed to stay a small, family-owned business for the past decade. Because of that, we’ve maintained a steady client base that has been extraordinarily appreciative of our care. They leave reviews because they want to support us!

What makes you different? In other words, if you had one minute to sell somebody on why they should choose you, what would you say?

I think that we do a really good job of hitting the middle ground between a basic massage and facial location and a high-end spa. We’re not trying to be a completely high-end spa. We really want it to be a very comfortable atmosphere so our clients don’t feel intimidated. Our goal is to provide high-quality, accessible service.

Why do you do what you do? In other words, what is your mission and/or how do you attempt to make the world a better place?

This all started when the spa’s owner (Robert)’s daughter (Adrienne) earned her esthetician’s license. Robert suggested opening a spa to take advantage of that. At the time, she thought the idea was a little bit wild — but here we are, 11 years later!

Outside of building a strong online reputation, what else do you do to market and grow your business?

We do a lot with word of mouth; we’re also in close connection with a lot of the small boutique hotels in town. People that are looking for something to do in town will call the front desk, who will then call us and get them a discount. We also tend to get quite a bit of foot traffic, due to our location in the heart of Golden.

What advice do you have for other businesses trying to build a strong online reputation and grow their business?

I think it’s important to really be in love with what you’re doing. It attracts people who want to work for you and attracts clients who can feel that you’re passionate about your job!
