Relaxing at Pearl’s

In downtown Acworth, Pearl’s Spa creates a relaxing environment for its clients. Owner Susan McElvey took over the spa in 2021 and recently renovated the business for clients’ pleasure. The renovation kept the historic personality of the building while adding the appearance of a cozy and comfortable spa. The therapists and aestheticians who work at the spa strive to create a calm and relaxing environment, allowing anyone who walks through their doors to feel welcomed.

Teens frequently struggle with acne and self-love, but a facial or a beauty treatment could make them feel confident in themselves. Finding a quality and affordable aesthetician sounds challenging, but Acworth’s own Pearl’s Spa supplies an extensive selection of treatments and reviews.  Pearl’s Spa chose Acworth due to its historic presence and because Acworth seemed to lack in self-care businesses. As the owner started up her spa, the people of Acworth loved the new self-care place in their town.  Pearl’s Spa offers a series of massages and facial treatments, including lash tints and extensions at an affordable price.

 The owner, Susan McElvey, took over the spa in 2021 and added her own special touch. Teens, alongside parents, indulge in the various treatments the spa offers. With over one hundred reviews on Google and its rating sitting at 4.6, Pearl’s  Spa stands as a reliable option when looking for a new aesthetician or a relaxing self-care day. 

McElvey owns Image Consulting Group and traveled around the world practicing team building and customer service. Striving to provide a relaxing and pleasurable experience while spreading professional advice on self-care, the spa includes methods for stress relief and relaxation. McElvey works to make her business a calm and welcoming environment for all customers, allowing them to relax while receiving their treatments. As the spa continues to gain traction around the town, McElvey and her team work to expand and add new additions to their services.

  “I hope people of all walks of life feel welcome, comfortable and like they are old friends and family. I hope they feel like the services they received are the best they ever received. I hope they feel like it is their spa and there is always a friendly face and voice to greet them,” McElvey said.

 While leaving the historic touches of the building, Pearl’s Spa recently renovated its business to add the cozy sense of a state-of-the-art spa. Pearl’s Spa also works overtime to cater to all of their clients’ relaxation needs with professional massage therapists and aestheticians. The employees at Pearl’s Spa also endeavor to exceed expectations regarding their services, allowing clients to experience a calming self-care day when they need it the most. 

Pearl’s Spa created relaxation rooms filled with comfy chairs and snacks to enjoy while waiting for one’s massage therapist or aestheticians. The therapists at the spa offer clean linens and robes to change into during the appointment to allow their clients to feel most at peace. Pearl’s Spa wants all its clients to recognize and know that it strives to provide quality service and wishes all clients to experience the ability to enjoy themselves while having a self-care day. The employees at Pearl’s Spa want clients to know that when coming to Pearl’s Spa they hope people feel comfortable and relaxed during their services. 

“I enjoyed the comfortable and cozy rooms, also the staff are extremely nice and attentive to my skin concerns. My honest opinion about Pearl’s Spa is that it’s a well-run place that provides a variety of services. I strongly recommend the place to everyone,” NC senior Paige North said. 

Pearl’s Spa offers a wide variety of personal hygiene products that anyone can purchase before or after their appointments. Pearl’s Spa wants people who walk out their doors to feel confident and stress-free in their everyday lives. As NC’s prom and homecoming dates approach, a facial, massage or even a body wrap or body scrub service may allow a prom attendee guest to feel like a new person for the special day. Other spas around Acworth do not always allow the homey touch and the personal experience that Pearl’s Spa provides.
