My wife and I absolutely love Spa Hygge. The vibes in here are great, it’s a super relaxing get away in the city. I’ve been to other spas in the the city but none truly compare for the value and quality. Their estheticians are all phenomenal and I like that tip is included in the price.

I did the extended stay package (facial and massage), and had an incredible experience with my esthetician Chelsea! She is extremely knowledgeable, and walked me through the entire process. I told her what I’d like to focus on for both the massage and facial, and she made sure to tailor my experience to exactly what I was looking for. She also created a comfortable environment for me to ask questions. She moved through the massage and facial in such a professional and skillful way. I was worried how my sensitive skin would react to a facial, but Chelsea made sure to use gentle products (which all felt amazing on my skin). I left feeling so refreshed and relaxed! And the next day I woke up with GLOWING skin! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Chelsea! I will definitely be back. Thank you Chelsea!! 🫶🏼

I’ve tried multiple spas in Philly and this is my favorite. I’ve been going regularly for 2 years. The staff is so friendly and kind. The atmosphere inside the historic building on Cherry St is immaculate. There’s a true tangible feeling of calm that washes over you the second you walk through the door. My esthetician, Monica, is so knowledgable and there’s been a noticeable improvement to my skin since I started getting facials with her! Would recommend this spot to every woman I know ❤️
