The Best Spa Day Ever: The Spa at River Ridge

Let’s face it, every girl needs a good spa day every now and then.

I was thrilled when The Spa at River Ridge invited me to experience their new, larger location in Dublin but I had no idea how much I absolutely was going to LOVE it! I mean, LOVE it. I can’t wait to go back.

I stopped by the full-service spa on a super rainy + dreary Sunday afternoon after a morning yoga class – basically a hot mess and needing some serious pampering: I had a few hours of appointments lined up including a facial, blowout + style, and pedicure (woohoo!).

I was greeted by tons of smiling faces – every employee I encountered upon arriving was so helpful and excited about their new, gorgeous space – their happy energy was contagious made me even more excited to be there.

Retail Manager Addison Owen was super sweet and gave me a tour of the facility – they have tons of space. Truly, it’s the perfect place to plan a girls’ day/spa day/Bachelorette and/or wedding festivity! Or a solo spa day or a mother/daughter day or best friends day… you get the drift, I hope. This place is awesome and can accommodate all sorts of bookings.

girl-about-columbus-blogAfter my tour first up was my facial by Alicia. Holy cow – I was literally in Heaven. During my session, I wondered why I don’t get these more often or even give them as presents!

Alicia was beyond knowledgeable and I’m telling you guys… the next time I get a facial I will definitely be going to her. If you’ve never had a facial – please do. It’s Heaven on Earth. I like them better than massages.

Next – after I came back to Earth (seriously), and downed some fruit-infused water compliments of the spa, I had my shampoo + style with Miranda: Loose/beachy waves was my choice.

Miranda was quick, efficient, and did exactly what I asked for in terms of style – as I can be a bit picky when I get my hair done. Loved!

The last stop on my agenda was a pedicure. Leah was absolutely the sweetest and we had the best time chatting during my service. Oh and the color I chose? Creekside #183 by CND Vinylux, a pastel blue perfect for Spring.

Leah informed me this particular brand of polish actually intensifies as time goes on whereas most polishes fade. I can attest to this as my toes are still currently look ah-mazing, weeks later.

I was honestly a bit hesitant to leave the spa that day because I had such a fun, relaxing time at a new Columbus favorite spot of mine. I kept saying the entire time that I didn’t feel like I was in Columbus at all – it’s a super serene spot in the city. Thanks so much, Spa at River Ridge!
