Incredible experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave! Friendly and kind staff and wonderful amenities. Do not skip the salt room - it is pure bliss! My lungs and chest felt amazing after a session. A friend and I booked massages and it was hands-down one of the best massages I have ever received! Carrie was able to release a crazy amount of tension I was holding in my hips and shoulders. I was almost brought to tears from the amount of relief she provided. It was pure bliss. Highly recommend Waterside if you are looking for an oasis in Steamboat Springs.

This review is mainly for Tracey Lucas. New to area, and on the hunt for the right person to do my high/low lights and cut my hair. She nailed it. A good listener and experienced. Will be returning.

The pedicure service I received from Valerie was the finest I've ever had. IT WAS THE BEST! My toes turned out amazing and I was so impressed by how clean and soft my feet turned out. The pedicure was so relaxing and was much needed after a long quarantine. 11/10 would recommend this exceptional spa experience!
