Altadenablog welcomes our new sponsors: Brio Spa & Salon and Brio Cafe in their recently spiffed-up location at 2003 and 2009 Lake Ave.
A few years ago, Nick Flores was working as an information technology professional, a network engineer and business analyst. Now, he's crafting healthy sandwiches in the cafe while his co-owner, wife Kaye, pampers clients at the spa next door. And, once a month, they move the spa equipment to the side and throw a wine tasting with entertainment -- as they will this Saturday. Local favorites the Bohemian Soul Rustlers will be performing their unique take on folk music as Brio and La Luna Negra present a "Sangria-Fest", starting at 8 PM. "We have a lot of fun entertaining and putting on events," Nick said. "It gives us a chance to let our hair down and have a good time with people."
Kaye takes great pride in the calm, healing atmosphere of the salon, which provides a full range of services: pedicures, manicures, nail treatments, facials for men and women, waxing, and a full range of massage services (deep tissue/Swedish, hot stone, shiatsu, reflexology, and much more).
Everything at the spa keeps the client's comfort in mind: "We provide a clean and protected environment for all of our clients to enjoy," Kaye says. Everything from clean sheets to sanitized equipment keeps the customer in mind, and their trained staff concentrates on providing the best service to the client.
It's actually a return to the spa: they started Brio in 2005 at the location, moved away, and moved back in again after the buildings were recently renovated. SInce the renovations included a cafe space, they opened an eatery where Nick provides thick, healthy gourmet sandwiches and other treats.
Come join them this weekend for sangria and the Bohemian Soul Rustlers, or any day from 10 AM - 7 PM for pampering, sandwiches, or some combination of both!
