Massage Therapy
Our certified massage therapists provide customized treatments using Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone techniques. Sessions address muscle tension, stress relief, and rehabilitation needs through personalized pressure and modality combinations. Clients benefit from improved circulation, pain reduction, and enhanced relaxation in our tranquil treatment rooms.
Facial Treatments
Custom facials combine European techniques with clinical skincare for acne, aging, and sensitive skin. Treatments include microdermabrasion, LED therapy, and vitamin infusions using plant-based products. Each session begins with skin analysis to create tailored regimens for long-term skin health improvements.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels address acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines through controlled exfoliation. Our estheticians customize peel strength and formulation for different skin types, including gentle options for skin of color. Multiple sessions yield dramatic improvements in skin texture and tone.
Waxing Services
Professional waxing offers long-lasting hair removal for eyebrows, face, bikini areas, and extremities. We use natural wax formulas with gentle techniques to minimize irritation while achieving smooth results that last up to six weeks with regular maintenance.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted massage techniques relieve common pregnancy discomforts like back pain and swelling. Therapists trained in prenatal care use supportive positioning to ensure comfort while improving circulation and reducing stress for expectant mothers.

Maria is always very caring with her recommendations. She goes above and beyond to help give you tips and recommendations, but never in a way that's pushy or sales like. The spa is very clean and quite. I feel comfortable going there and knowing things are also being kept sanitary.

This is a place of peace and relaxation with experienced and thoughtful therapists. They have taken all COVID19 precautions and I feel totally safe there. The facials and massages are amazing. We all need this during this stressful period.

When I moved to Montrose a few years ago, I went to Uptown Face & Body every month for a massage. My masseuse Nicole was amazing! She set the bar so high on what a masseuse can be. She was always easy to talk to, very professional, and dedicated to learning different massage techniques to incorporate into a full body massage. Sometimes during a massage, my left foot cramps up. One time it cramped with Nicole - and within seconds she had pressure point destroyed that cramp within seconds! She was so amazing. Now that I've moved to the PNW, I'm so sad I can't find a masseuse as good as Nicole!

SUPERFANTASTIC! This was my first time going to the Sassy Ladies Beauty Bar and I absolutely loved it! Caitlin did an amazing job on my Brazilian, Eye brows, and lip! I also met Andrea, the owner, she is so sweet! The customer service was amazing and the staff was super fantastic! Thank you so much!

Without Uptown I would not have the confidence to literally "show face." At 52 yrs old I was unhappy with the condition of my skin & eyes. Maria worked with me, educating me and providing me healthy solutions, non- invasive solutions to remedy my concerns. This is part of my wellbeing maintenance now.

Today I enjoyed a soothing message by Frieda and a rejuvenating facial by Maria. My sweet husband treated me to this luxurious spa afternoon for Valentine's Day. My tight upper back and neck are so much better and the hot rocks added to this pampering experience. The facial with gentle steam, soothing products, and careful extractions left me with a glowing face. If you haven't visited Uptown Face and Body Care you owe it yourself or a loved one.

I received a groupon as a gift. I phoned yesterday for an appointment and when I received a call back they were kind and helpful. And Best of all, they were able to get me in that afternoon. I live in the area, walk by often, but never had stepped foot in this business. I had a fantastic experience! Upon arrival, Malaea asked questions, listened and made a plan. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Malaea was educated in massage and her skill level far exceeded my expectations. She was great and I can not wait to see her again. I will be back! Soon!

I had my baby's ears pierced here. Maria was very gentle and she explained everything first so I know what to expect. A numbing cream was applied to my baby's ears before piercing them. My baby did not feel anything! No tears at all! She was busy chewing her toy and did not even notice what Maria was doing with her ears. I am very happy! Maria was also very friendly and accommodating.
