Ultimate Escape Day Spa

Fantastic place and amazing staff! It truly embodies what a real authentic spa experience should be like! Not to mention free water and tea and a nice relaxing waiting room where you don’t feel like you’re being rushed out like cattle! Excellent work!

I haven’t used this service myself but have purchased gift certificates for my daughter and some of her friends for the past few Christmases. They all rave about this place and the treatment they receive. I am always impressed with the folks at the front desk.

I love this place so much. It’s my go to spa day place. When I want to treat myself I always go to ultimate. The tranquil waiting room, the kind staff, I just love it all. I’ve been coming here since 2008. Even when I moved away I still remembered this place. When I moved back I told my husband just get me gift certificates for all the holidays and birthdays from ultimate. That is the best gift ever. Thank you.

I had a spawish gift card and culd use it here. I was pleased w/​everyone I encounted. It’s small and tranquil and loved the time prior to relax on the sofa with a warm massage towel on my neck. I would definitely recommend it!

I went in for a 15 minute capsule and 60 minute spa pedicure. It was our mommys-​night-​out and all I hoped for was some relaxation and time with my sister. I received more than I anticipated. We were welcomed by a nice lady as we entered, then whisked away to the lockers to change into a robe, offered refreshing water/​tea, and enjoyed the fireplace room. The capsule was awesome. I almost feel asleep while I dreamed about being somewhere other than Kansas. The pedicure was fantastic. They chatted with us and the occasional silence wasn’t awkward. They probably would have led us listen to spa music if we had wishes to not chat. We were in a private room that had two message chairs. I usually check out the spas when we go on vacation, and this is up there as one of my most peaceful, relaxing, soul-​soothing experiences. We left talking about how we need to go back, and often. It’s been 3 weeks and our nails still look fabulous with no chips. While we were there, we didn’t see or hear any traffic or other clients.

This was my second visit to the Ultimate Escape Day Spa. It was my first time receiving the Hot Stone Massage and I was very pleased, Caila was awesome and worked out every kink I had, while making it easy to relax. The only reason I did not rate my entire experience five stars is because of the facial, I received the sonic facial and although I can feel and see the benefits of the facial, I felt Megan could have made it last a little longer than 15 mins and added in a shoulder, scalp or hand massage to make it a little more relaxing, otherwise it just felt like a good face wash!

I had never heard of this place before a group of generous friends got me a gift certificate. I was so pleased with the massage I got, now I never go anywhere else in Kansas City! Not only are the massages skillfully done, but the atmosphere inside is among the most relaxing around. Lots of salon spas in the area let in small children, all sorts of loud and random people… but not here. They’re serious about relaxation and an atmosphere where you can block out the world and concentrate on yourself. They also carry Thymes brand lotions and fragrance products (yum!). Try it, and see for yourself.

Incredible experience, wonderful place. Don’t let the store front fool you! Make sure you go for several hours to enjoy the «extra’s».

This salon is not the largest in town, but they definitely make up for it in heart. The inside is obviously put together with care, meant to ensure the relaxation and comfort of its patrons. The staff goes out of their way to be calming, relaxing, pleasant and hospitable. As mentioned in other reviews, it is inexpensive compared to comparable salons in town. I had a swedish massage, the ultimate pedi, and the nautral facial.
You are greeted and led back to a small changing room. You’re given an oversized robe and sandals. After you change, you are led into the lounge. The lighting is dim and the music is calming. There are a variety of teas and cold water, lotions to try and magazines to read.
Hunter did my pedi. He was very nice, and skillful. He did a great job on my feet, which were definitely worse for the wear after 3.5 months and a baby since my last pedi. Anna did my facial. She was wonderful and made me feel really comfortable. She was not judgmental about my lack of a real skincare regimen. My massage was not the best I’ve ever had; I felt like the massage therapist spent a LOT of time preparing things and oiling her hands, and not enough time actually performing the massage. It was a full body massage, but too much time was spent on my back. My neck was hardly touched, and the foot and hand massages were sloppy.
This would be a nice place to go if you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg but want a good experience.

What a truly amazing place this is. Incredible atmosphere, treated like a queen (tea and neck warmer while you wait), relaxing environment, excellent quality and service, and VERY reasonable prices. It’s hard to find a spa that is perfect… but this is it!

This is my favorite, now only, place to get pedicures, massages, and facials. I love the atmosphere, once you get inside. The themed rooms are tastefully done and really a cute idea. I’ve had many massage therapists there and they are all professional. The staff is polite and makes me feel very welcome. Also the packages that they offer are really comprehensive and you can find something that fits anyones needs. Prices are reasonable.

Had my second visit here yesterday and once again impressed. Like the other review noted, don’t be turned off by the strip mall appearance. It’s very zen and serene once you’re in the door. After changing into a robe, you head into a soothing candlelit sitting room. Here, you encounter other spa goers in various stages of bliss, sipping water while heated neck wraps relax their shoulders before heading off for their spa treatment. The rooms are themed, and all the extra little details they put into the design (from the decorations to the music and lighting) add to the overall experience.
I had a Swedish massage and facial this time. My masseuse had good technique, was very professional, and the whole experience was wonderfully relaxing. My only minor complaint was the room temp, which was a tad cool. It was 10 degrees and snowy out, and this particular room was at the front of the spa, with a full wall of windows. She turned up the heat on the table and while it was warm, it wasn’t super cozy toasty as one might be expecting.
The facial was soothing and my skin felt amazing afterwards. The aesthetician was polite and had very gentle technique for those awful extractions (the worst part of any facial, but a necessary evil). I was a bit surprised she didn’t ask more questions regarding my skin, (other aestheticians I’ve had get a detailed skin history it seems) but I can’t complain about the results.
The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the overall spa experience you will have. I will be back for a couples massage next month and can hardly wait!

Don’t let the storefront fool you!!! This was one of the most amazing spa’s that I have been too!
When you walk in the front door you are welcomed by a bunch of girlie goodies for sale that are well organized… bath salts, smell goods, and other spa goods. Once I checked in, I went straight to the locker room to change and put on a robe. Normal «upscale» locker room but nothing really special. Once I finished changing I was led to the sitting room.
My eyes lit up… It was very, very nice. A red leather sectional, faux fire place. and more girlie goodies. The lighting was dimmed and the music playing was very soft and relaxing. It also has a pleasant smell and water and tea was available. You also get a heated aromatherapy neck pillow which added a nice touch.
I had the September Special which included 30 minutes in the Sauna Capsule (which I loved), a 90 minute «Swe-​Deep» massage with aromatherapy and a Hot Stone Boost and a 6 minute sinus treatment. For $ 125 this was an excellent deal.
My massage therapist was Tara and she was amazing. She was very friendly and whispered every time she talked to me to ask about the pressure or the heat of the stones. She knew what areas needed the most work and focused on them. She provided the ultimate in relaxation.
Everyone else that I came in contact with greeted me warmly and made sure that I was comfortable. All in all this is a wonderful Spa and I will return. Though the prices are already reasonable I would always recommend that you find out what the special is for the month.
I can’t wait to go back.
