The charm and beauty of this building along with its view of the Woodley Island Marina allows for an enchanting location for our spa to reside. Personal Choice has been in existence since 1983, bringing to Humboldt County the finest in the Full Service Salon experience. Personal Choice has been dedicated to continuing education, which is the purpose of becoming The Spa at Personal Choice. We have grown to become more than an “escape”. We have become a destination for Personal Renewal. Our progressive treatments are inspired from the ancient Ayurvedic treatments to the latest technology of skin care such as microdermabrasion. Let us ease the stress, fatigue and environmental damage on your skin and body.
Our Spa Therapists can soothe, heal, balance and beautify. Best of all we share our expertise, giving you the tools, products and knowledge to become your own “Spa Therapist” at home … “Come Enjoy!”

Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled treatment. This will allow you time to check in and prepare for your service. Our Quiet Room is at your disposal before and after services. You may sit with a warm neck-ease on your shoulders and enjoy a cup of herb tea or a glass of lemon water.

We ask that cellular phones and pagers be turned to silent mode when visiting The Spa at Personal Choice, to ensure the tranquility of you and your fellow spa goers.

The Spa is located on the corner of 2nd and G Streets. Parking in front of the Spa is all day, as is parking on 1st Street. There is two-hour parking on G Street between 2nd and 3rd. Parking lots are available on the corners of 2nd and H Street, and 3rd Street between H and G Streets.

Your Spa Therapist will ask you basic questions during your Needs Assessment, prior to your Service. If you have any medical conditions or disabilities, such as high blood pressure, allergies, heart ailments or pregnancy, or are on any medications, please tell your Therapist before you begin your service. If you are pregnant, please tell the Front Desk Staff at the time you call to schedule your appointment. This will allow them to schedule you for services that will be both enjoyable and safe for you.

Garment bags and robes are available at the Spa. We also suggest that you wear comfortable clothing to allow for better ease of movement and relaxation after your Treatments. When receiving a pedicure, it is helpful to bring open toe shoes to wear when you leave. This will help to protect your fresh polish. It is not necessary to bring a swimsuit for the hydrotherapy tub. The hydrotherapy treatment is performed in a private candle lit room, and most of the bath products used in our treatments add bubbles or an opaque color to the water. For your added comfort, additional draping may be provided by your spa therapist by using small towels.

Please do not bring jewelry or other valuables to the Spa, as The Spa at Personal Choice cannot assume any liability for personal items.
