Service: Spa Facial, $135.
Ambience: The Spa has complimentary valet parking and hair dressing. The architectural feel inside is sleek minimal and calming with a reception area with marble and glass services. A polite, softly-spoken receptionist hands you a questionnaire that covers basic health questions, then it's off to the treatment room with its damask sheets and soft white blankets. Once the lights are dimmed the treatment begins.

Treatment: The Spa Facial is a 90-minute treatment which uses the aromatherapy brand Physiodermie, which is exclusive to Spa Chakra. The treatment boasts cleansing, exfoliating, mask, massage and lymphatic drainage. Each step is performed with a slow and gentle touch, inducing complete relaxation. A soothing, self-heating massage pack is applied to the lumbar region to relieve any backache or tension. The treatment also includes an eyelash tint, eyebrow shape and a hand and arm massage.
