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.

Shayna treated me so well and took such good care of me. I was in town on vacation, and was able to book it a few days in advance. Their salon and spa spaces are beautiful and very professional

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!

I’ve now had low lights and high lights and a cut done by Emily twice and I could not be more pleased. I asked her to help me with color that would look natural growing in because I can’t afford to go to the salon as often I wish anymore with a little one to support, and she nailed it. Emily is timely, sweet and a total professional. It makes me want to enjoy more services when I can.

I highly recommend Waterside. I went for my birthday with my best friend. All of the staff were extremely kind & professional. Barbara, our massage therapist was absolutely exceptional, she really cared about what areas to focus on and how to provide the most peaceful experience. I will be recommending Barbara & Waterside to everyone!

The SALT therapy room is just what I needed with allergies to airborne smoke and things stirring in the fall winds. Allergies induce asthma and make breathing difficult, this is a natural healing for the lungs
The SALT room is beautiful and relaxing.
I read all the history and research and I will be back!

Got me and my mom facials and pedicures for a relaxing day! They were AMAZING. Amber did our facials and she listened to what we were having troubles with and applied it to our facials, she took time to customize each of our facials and needless to say we left quite literally glowing! Cori did our nails and she was so so sweet. She did a really good job with the application of the polish! Overall I think it's a great spa. The salt room is really cool too! Thanks again for a great experience

I went to Waterside Spa yesterday to get a haircut and color with Emily. She was the sweetest hair stylist I have ever had. She asks for my input and suggestions throughout me getting my hair done. She always explained the steps she was taking. She did EXACTLY what I wanted. I am new to Steamboat so I explained I was nervous to find a new hair dresser. I was thrilled to find Emily! I will always go back to her! Thank you so much!

I had a great experience here. They were accommodating, friendly, hard working and affordable. They listened well to what I wanted. I called ahead and was able to come when I wanted, an hour later. My nails are in great shape, thanks!

Spent 45 minutes in their salt room. The front staff was very nice, but was a bit confused by the salt room. We had a very different idea of what the salt room was supposed to be. The room had sort

Thinking the salt room is geared towards tourists since the 2 for 1 coupon is in the tourist guide.

A wonderful find!

I was in Steamboat to ski and at the last minute, decided to book a massage. I was surprised to get a same day appointment and couldn't be more pleased. Everyone was warm and friendly from the time I called to make the appointment until I left.

I got a 90 minute Swedish massage from Lisa and she truly has gifted hands. Definitely one of the best massages I've ever had. She went above and beyond, showing me a few stretches I could do at home to alleviate strain/tension from sitting in front of a computer all day at work.

After that, it was on to the salt room. After

A true hidden gem! If you're in Steamboat Springs I highly recommend visiting Waterside Day Spa. I used their salt room and fell in love. I was having sinus issues and with the altitude I felt awful...45 minutes later I could already tell a difference and I continued to feel better throughout the day. Thank you, Thank you!

What a wonderful place! I had the best mani-pedi I've ever had with Kori. She is so friendly, delightful and does such a great job. She picked the perfect color for my toes (I hadn't a clue). I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to Steamboat (for lots of reasons) and one is to go back to Waterside and see Kori and try some more of their services. Great job, Thanks!

Really cute place. Sounds like there is a new owner. The people were really nice and took a lot of time. I get no chip nails done at home. They do not offer that, but have dip nails. I decided to give it a try. I really don't like them at all. It looks like someone put plastic wrap on them while they were wet. Not a good look. Plus there are a very limited number of colors. I think the salon is nice, but would pass on the dip nails. I wish I could take it off myself.

Happy with Highlights and haircut from Tracey, and Reiki and full hour massage with Holly. Tried the Salt Room for 15 mins while I was waiting and it was very relaxing if you have it to yourself or try with a close friend. Will go again.

Holly was awesome and was able to schedule appointments for four of us while we were in town. Each massage therapist listened to the member of the group's preferences. My massage was pre-natal and was awesome! She used a cupping technique on my back and yummy aromatherapy. Would definitely recommend!
