Sugar Spa Ready to Give You Beautiful Skin

A newcomer to Mountain View, this downtown shoppe hopes to bring some pampering, convenience and cool vibes to area residents and employees.

A recent survey claims that people in Silicon Valley are the most productive in the entire country, but do they put that much effort into pampering themselves?

To make it a little easier, business owner Kenny Wong recently opened Sugar Spa in downtown Mountain View. Located at 746 Villa St., close to startups and public transportation, the spa offers facials and sugar waxing—an alternative hair removal method that uses sugar, lemon and water.

According to Wong, the Sugar Spa is a great fit for Mountain View because the demographics were right—he aims to target a 20 to 40 age group—and he felt that downtown had a lot of hair and nail salons, but fewer shops focus on skincare.

But really, he just liked the vibe.

"Downtown Mountain View has a little quirkiness," he said and likened the vibe to Berkeley and Oakland because of his neighbors on the block with Jane's Beer Store and Villa Rouge.

Walk into Sugar Spa and you'll sense how it fits right into the Mountain View-scene. Patrons will be entertained by chillout, cool jazz and trip hop music. And the space is modern and uncluttered—just like the menu of services.

"We follow an 'In-and-Out' philosophy," Wong said, about the five services on the menu. "Offer a few things, but do them well."

Three staff members work in one of the three cozy treatment rooms.

In addition to the sugar waxing, other services include facials, hyrdadermabrasion, LED light therapy and back exfoliation. The use and sell Skin Ceuticals and Ilike Hungarian products.
