Accredited Massage Therapist in Highland Park, PA
If you live in Highland Park, we are essentially the spa across the bridge. Cross the Highland Park Bridge, follow the road into Aspinwall, and you are at our front door in a few minutes.
That short trip is why we get so many bookings from your zip code, especially from people searching for a leading day spa in Pittsburgh who do not want to sit in traffic getting there.
Massage Therapy and Full Spa Care Under One Roof
Our massage schedule at Esspa Kozmetika Organic Day Spa and Skincare Salon covers Swedish, deep tissue, therapeutic, warm bamboo, and prenatal, and we can bring in additional modalities depending on what you book. The point is not the length of the list.
The point is that whoever you are working with knows how to pick the right one for what your body is dealing with that day. If you want to stack a facial or a body scrub onto the same visit, we can put that together for you without a second appointment.
What Highland Park Clients Come to Us For
Reservoir Loop runners come in with sore calves. Cyclists working the Washington Boulevard climbs show up with locked-up shoulders. We see parents from the streets around Bryant and North Highland who have not had an hour to themselves since the school year started, and staff from the Zoo and the hospitals across the East End who work long shifts and finally decided to do something about the neck tension.
A lot of local weddings pass through the neighborhood too, and we handle the pre-wedding massage therapy in Pittsburgh alongside facials, lash, and brow services for the bride and her party.
Our Full Service Menu
Beyond massage, we run organic facials and advanced skin treatments including HydroFacial by NewbaSkin, PRX-T33 WiQo Italian Peel, MicroChanneling by Procell Therapies, and Plasma Fibroblasting. ESSpa and its employees do not perform medical treatments, and services are not medical in nature.
Nails, hair through The Ultimate Hair Salon and eDryBar, body wraps, waxing, brow and lash tinting, and programs built specifically for men, teens, and kids fill out the rest of the menu. Corporate teams working out of the East End medical corridor sometimes come in as a group, which our fifteen rooms handle without a scheduling headache.
Getting to Our Spa from Highland Park
The trip is short, but the timing matters. Weekday evenings on the Highland Park Bridge slow down, so if your calendar is flexible, a late morning or early afternoon slot spares you the crawl. Parking is right outside our building, which is a small thing that stops mattering only when it stops being a problem.
About Highland Park, PA
Highland Park is a residential neighborhood in the East End of Pittsburgh, sitting along the Allegheny River between Morningside and East Liberty. Most people know it for the reservoir, the walking loop around it, and the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium at its eastern edge. We have been the closest full-service organic day spa across the river from the neighborhood since 2002.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take same-day massage bookings from Highland Park clients?
Sometimes. Weekday afternoons are your best shot at a same-day slot. Weekends and evenings usually book out earlier in the week, so plan ahead if that is when you need to come in.
Can I combine massage with other services in one visit?
Yes, and it is one of the more common ways Highland Park clients book with us. A facial before a massage is the standard sequence, so recently treated skin does not get worked over by pressure right after.
Is your spa affiliated with ESPA or E’SPA?
No. ESSpa Kozmetika is not affiliated with, related to, or endorsed by ESPA or E’SPA.
If a massage has been quietly moving down your to-do list, put it back on top and book with us. If you want to make an afternoon of it, add whatever else from the menu looks worth the trip.
