The story of esspa organic day spa + skincare salon in Pittsburgh PA
Founded by Hungarian Master Esthetician, Eva Sztupka-Kerschbaumer, ESSpa Kozmetika Organic Day Spa and Skincare Salon brings centuries-old European elegance and tradition to “Main Street USA” in Aspinwall just 7 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Our philosophy is simple: every guest deserves exceptional care at a fair value, whether they are seeking a quick refresh or a full day of rest. Our regular customers drive in from downtown, Oakmont, Shadyside, Cranberry, Sewickley, Mt. Lebanon, Moon, Mars and more because they expect more than what is available elsewhere. Recognized as having the Top Training Program in America by BeautyWire Magazine, ESSpa combines time-proven Hungarian techniques with cutting-edge cosmetic technology to deliver real, visible, lasting results that speak for themselves. Our licensed therapists, estheticians, and stylists all work together to create each customer’s unique skin, body, and overall wellness goal and ensure that those goals are met – every visit, every service.
Whether you come to ESSpa for a 15-minute eyebrow wax or an 8-hour Spa Day dedicated to enhancing your health and wellness with 5 of your friends – our team is singularly focused on one simple thing, ensuring that you Look Great and Feel Better.
Tailored Body Treatments That Restore Radiance
Our body treatments menu goes beyond surface pampering. Each session opens with a short skin and lifestyle conversation so your therapist can build the work around your own pace, stress points, and recovery window. A signature back ritual layers warm paprika-infused steam, slow gentle exfoliation using ground apricot and volcanic clay, and a cocooning Hungarian thermal mask that helps restore radiance across the shoulders and spine.
A full body contour wrap uses mineral-rich muds and plant oils to soothe overworked muscles and help the body relax after travel, training, or back-to-back workweeks. It is the kind of treatment that invites you to indulge without guilt. Every rejuvenating experience closes with a hydrating finish and at-home guidance from a licensed specialist. Because treatments are tailored not templated, the skin feels calm, balanced, and noticeably smoother.
Luxurious Manicure and Pedicure at Our Aspinwall Natural Nail Salon
Before you put your feet into one of those typical built-in massaging whirlpool foot baths at the typical strip-mall nail salon, think about how many other people had THEIR feet in the same bath. It is almost impossible to truly clean those whirlpool baths. THAT is why ESSpa refuses to use them. Your feet will rest in our hand-hammered copper bowls filled with a relaxed, more thoughtful approach to your feet. Our manicure sessions use vegan, 10-free, long-wear polishes, a warm paraffin dip, and cuticle care formulated with natural plant oils. The luxurious Hungarian Spa Pedicure begins with a Hungarian herbal foot bath, moves into a hand-blended exfoliating scrub along the calves, and finishes with a pressure-point foot rub that eases tightness from ankle to arch.
Because our Aspinwall salon is intimate by design, you will always enjoy the most comfortable of services. Clients often book a manicure and pedicure as a paired spa experience before a wedding or vacation, making it a perfect pre-event ritual. Polish selection and finish time are always tailored to your schedule, and the only thing asked of you is to relax.
Signature Facial Treatments
ESSpa is known for delivering Facial Treatments that deliver. Every facial service that we offer is 100% customized to the specific requirements and needs of each individual – at the time of service. This is not just a jumble of words on a website, because your every face is different – and what your skin needs to look its best changes throughout the day. From express refreshers to luxurious multi-hour experiences, find the perfect treatment for your skin’s needs.
