About

Essential Escape Spas was started in Strongsville, Ohio in 2017 and later opened locations in Avon and Medina. It is owned and operated by a massage therapist. The business describes itself as a sanctuary where guests can step away from everyday stress, and it frames its mission around wellness of mind, body and spirit, aiming for clients to leave restored and at ease.

Services are by appointment only, though same-day openings are sometimes available. A card on file is needed to reserve, and it is charged only under the cancellation policy or with the client's permission. Same-day cancellations carry a fee of 55% of the reserved amount, and cancellations within 5 hours and no-shows are charged in full. Online appointments can be shifted 15 minutes earlier or later so the practitioner has time to clean and prepare. Cancellations are taken by phone or text, not email. First-time visitors and anyone trying a new service are asked to arrive 10 minutes early for paperwork.

Massage sessions include full hands-on time, complimentary aromatherapy, a heated table, two hot stones, and hot towels (five, or two to three for sessions of 45 minutes or less). Options include Swedish, deep tissue and therapeutic, sports, Table Thai, prenatal, couples, cupping and stretching therapy. Stretching therapy blends Thai-style stretching with active isolated stretching. Prenatal massage is offered in the second and third trimesters only, the price list says it requires 12 weeks or more, and it must be booked as a prenatal session. Couples are seen at the same time in separate rooms, though the Strongsville location does not offer same-room couples massage.

The facial menu runs from the Quick Refresh and Teen facials to the 120-minute Essential Facial, which combines dermaplaning, a peel or enzyme, oxygen infusion and LED therapy and can be adjusted for skin type with a skin specialist. The Tailored Facial, which includes a skin analysis, extractions and a neck and shoulder massage, is suited to first-time clients. Circadia peels are not offered to first-timers without a pretreatment or consultation, and each comes with a post-peel kit. Dermaplaning is not offered for inflamed acne.

The site says the Avon massage therapists are experienced in deep tissue and therapeutic massage. Tips go entirely to service providers, with a 3% fee on credit card and gift card tips and no fee on cash. Skin care products, stones and gift cards cannot be returned, and prices are subject to change.

The business says it combines medical expertise with a spa-care experience, using massage, esthetics and yoga to promote relaxation and support overall health.

The rooms are arranged for calm and relaxation, with a warm and inviting feel.
