Universal Companies’ 2nd Spa Day Event was held at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on August 30^th. The all-day event introduced Vegas Spa Directors to Universal’s brand partners by experiencing them first hand. I was lucky to be included and we all left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I also learned about some great new treatments!

The very posh Sahra Suite in The Cosmopolitan provided an ideal venue for Spa Directors to network in their Boca Terry Robes and heated Therapearl neck wraps.  Fifty minute treatments were provided in adjacent couples suites.

“Thanks to Universal for orchestrating such a clever and productive event—I know this will go a long way for the Spa Directors in Las Vegas,” said Jennifer Lynn, Spa Director at The Mandarin Oriental at CityCenter. “We always need a respite and very few and far between do we find time in our own spas to do so.”  .  

“Thank you so much. It was great fun, and I think everyone appreciated the opportunity to experience something new and to see some of the Universal offerings up close. I got some ideas, saw some things that interested me that I hadn’t thought of….” said Shawn Granito, Spa Treatment Director of Canyon Ranch.

The event featured 50 minute Bamboo Fusion massage using heated bamboo tools,  HydraFacials from Edge Systems and body wraps by Alaska Glacial Mud.  “We really enjoyed showcasing our lines in an experiential, relaxed and fun way,” said Universal Companies’ Lisa Michaelis, Director of Development, Western US.  “Spa Directors found it  helpful to sample products and meet the representatives and owners behind Universal’s brands.”

Mini treatments from Universal Companies’ brand partners were also available including Firm & Eye Lift treatments from Control Corrective, Kantic Blueberry mask hand treatments by Alchimie Forever, Eco-fin paraffin alternative luxury foot treatments,  gel manicures by LeChat, mineral makeup application by Mirabella Beauty, and shoulder and neck massages with Pure-ssage, Universal Companies’ house brand of nut free, paraben free, unscented oil.

The SpaRitual swag bag also included products from all featured brands showcasing treatments and A La Turca, Aromafloria, Plum Smooth,  SpaLaLa and Biofreeze.
