Jennie Kay and I were recently invited to attend Citron Spa , one the newest additions to Wayland Square.
Upon arriving at this “wellness oasis, medi-spa, and nail bar” we were pleasantly surprised by the complete atmospheric change when stepping from the busy city streets of Providence into the beautiful, nature-inspired hidden gem Citron. Simple, neat, and clean – very minimalist and modern – this is a spa with definite personality. The design ethos revolves around “rustic nature meets modern science” – rustic in the mix of woods and touches of green where the modern science is found in the clean, white decor. And it truly is palpable, being felt in every little detail throughout the spa. Even the menu of services was unique yet simple {it is made out of wood!} They are really onto something here! True trend-setters if you ask me.
This same attention to detail is only amplified when it comes to helping relax the client’s mind. A subtle, yet important touch is their use of continuous sound as you make your way through each room. “Continuous and uniform sounds from room-to-room is a psychology” according to owner Christina Allen. “Part of the psychology of relaxation come from the subconscious and through details that we may not typically pay attention to.” A secret weapon of Citron Spa’s you could say!
The services are really endless at this spa: from facials to laser hair removal to botox. You will leave this spa a new person! All of the services are performed by highly trained and licensed professionals. Christina really takes her staff and training seriously. Her team includes 4 nail techs, 3 estheticians, 1 registered nurse, Christina {who can do it all} and her momanger who runs the front desk. {shes so sweet!}
Saying Christina is highly qualified is an understatement considering that she has treated over 1,000 clients in each of her certifications for Laser Hair Removal which include:
-
State Board recognized certification in all intensive pulsed light modalities.
-
Certification in Cynosure Smart Epil ND-Yag laser hair removal.
-
Certification in Cynosure Apogee Elite ND-Yag and Alexandrite laser hair removal.
-
Certification in Cynosure Smart Epil ND-Yag and Cynosure Apogee Elite superficial spider vein removal, laser facial and pigmented lesion removal.
Clearly this spa is at the top of its game! {i suggest you call now and book a service}
As for our services…we chose an early morning for pedicure & facial appointments. They feature and incorporate Aveda products into all of their treatments. Jennie had the Caribbean Therapy Pedicure which included a long foot soak, aromatic smells, a foot and leg massage, and an OPI polishing {She chose a lavender/lilac purple color with some glitter – of course!} “Two weeks later my toes are still perfect” -Jennie
I had an amazing Green Science Facial. It is an anti-aging facial from the Aveda product line which uses cactus & argan oil. I was completely zen-ed out. The facial included touches of a foot/leg, hand, and scalp massage which make it so much more than a typical facial. You leave feeling completely relaxed {I was exhausted!}.
Citron Spa has an assortment of services available, including the medi-spa portion of their business which includes treatments such as botox, fillers, chemical peels, laser hair removal and vein treatments, and more.
We were thrilled with our services & highly suggest a visit to anyone – whether it be a girls day, a lone-getaway for some needed relaxation, or a gift to someone else. Citron Spa definitely receives the Jennie Kay Beauty stamp of approval! We will be returning 🙂
