Balmor Spa Tacoma, WA

Balmor Spa operates two locations: one inside Southcenter Mall in Seattle and another in a unit on South Steele Street in Tacoma. Both are open Monday through Saturday, 10am to 7pm, and share the same main phone line, 206-330-8863.

The menu is organized into facials, Hydrafacials, packages, and an infrared sauna. The signature facial is a 60-minute treatment at $175 that combines a deep cleanse, gentle exfoliation, a custom mask, creams, and an anti-stress facial massage. Dermaplaning is offered as an add-on version of that same facial, using a sterile blade to clear dead skin and fine facial hair.

Beyond the standard facial, the spa lists several targeted options. The Acne Detox Facial is built for oily, congested, or acne-prone skin and includes deep cleansing, extractions, and antibacterial ingredients. Diamond microdermabrasion uses very fine diamond particles to resurface the skin, and the Oxygen RX Facial infuses oxygen along with peptides, antioxidants, and serums chosen for each client. The Thermacool Renewal Facial alternates a warming resurfacing mask with a cooling one.

Chemical peels are tailored to skin type and concern after a consultation with a skin specialist. Sessions run 60 or 75 minutes, with prices from $185 to $280. Clients who want a peel are advised to book a consultation first.

The Hydrafacial range includes several levels. The Glow version covers cleansing, exfoliation, a gentle acid peel, vortex extractions, hydration, an antibacterial step, and blue LED light. The Deluxe version adds a custom booster for dark spots or signs of aging. The Platinum version adds lymphatic drainage, a growth factor booster, LED treatment aimed at collagen, a sculpting mask, and a facial massage.

Packages bundle several treatments together. The Elite Glow Package, priced at $500, combines oxygen therapy, an enzyme renewal treatment, a deep hydration facial, and a radiance-enhancing serum infusion.

The infrared sauna is a non-invasive session in which light waves warm the body. The spa states that these sessions help eliminate toxins, ease muscle pain, and support skin health. Those are the spa's own claims.
