Beauty Beat: Two New Treatments to Try at Recoop Spa
The charming Bellevue spot beefs up its massage and pedicure offerings
By Lauren Mang August 24, 2015
Should you be in the mood to spa sometime soon (honestly, when are you not?), sweet and rustic Recoop in Bellevue has two new treatments worth sauntering in for.
First, clear your schedule for a 75-minute Ultimoot Plus massage ($135), which includes a Swedish-style rubdown with your choice of either warm oil or cream, hot towels and a tension-relieving scalp massage with Recoop’s own blend of oils (skip the oil if you want to keep your hair presentable; or hit the spa’s shower). Ask for a whiff of invigorating peppermint oil to bring you back to life post-massage.
Then, slip into the nail studio for a Whipped Sugar Coconut pedicure ($70), a 60-minute treatment that starts with an aromatherapy soak for your tootsies and rounds out with a whipped sugar scrub made in-house with coconut and sweet almond oils, a foot and calf massage and a wrap that’s been infused with organic coconut oil. Pick your polish (classic ’90s-inspired reds are so in right now) and you’re good to go.
