Penelope & The Beauty Bar

Angela Rosen owns this chic and very feminine spa, dedicated to making you feel and look good. Sound simple? Yes, but how many “day spas” purport to provide this and when you arrive, the person at the desk is too busy on the phone, doesn’t even look up at you, and the voice inside your head says, “Oh, I thought I’d feel special the moment I walked in?” Not here. The lighting is dim, the smiles bright, the voices low, and the changing rooms elegant. Everything has been thought of, including an attendant who whisks away your clothes in a zippered bag to hang up as soon as you have changed in to your comfy robe inside your private changing room, complete with black marble and gold fixtures. I had one of the most outstanding facials ever at the hands of one of their star estheticians Stacy Fullerton. “The Perfect Facial” is tailored to exactly what your skin needs. I am “of a certain age” and when I walked out I looked radiant. Beauty Bar has a menu of full services including make-up, so if you are a bride at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel upstairs it would be wise to book a bridesmaid party, mom and daughter day or pre-wedding spa day here. They also offer “retail therapy” and a host of top French facial products. I love this place!
