Since the very beginning, Temple has been more than just a name. Temple Day Spa was born under the sentiment that what we wanted to build was a sacred space for the practice of self-worship. A place for repose, devout inclusion, authentic representation, nurtured practices, and boundless self-worth. We hold these values close between our hands and our hearts through the individualized treatments and services we offer.
Our treatments go beyond a customized, step-by-step process of products and movements to improve the well-being of your skin and body. We believe that also giving you the proper tools and education is a crucial component of your spa visit - that, together, we can empower one another by always involving you in every step of your self-care process. But above all, we want you to enjoy the time you spend with us. Temple Day Spa is an environment for the full enjoyment of self-care - a place to allow you to freely be your most beautiful, relaxed self, and we are so thankful that you have allowed us to be part of that.
