I scheduled the same day looking to get de stressed. Walked in and somehow scheduled for the wrong day and Candace was on her way out. She was very gracious in going ahead and staying to give me the massage. Very relaxing and she did an awesome job. Felt 100 times better after leaving. Thanks! read more

I'm only able to give 5 stars, however, if I could give Candace 10 stars I would!!! I have never ever had a facial and massage that heavenly before. She has the most wonderful personality and gives recommendations for things that you can do at home. The product that she uses is phenomenal. My skin glowed after a session with her. I highly recommend Candace!! Your skin needs her!!! read more

I have done the 90 minute massage and facial combo with Candace twice now and WOW, it is amazing!!! I feel like it is the best thing I can do for myself. The atmosphere is so relaxing and Candace is fantastic!! The massage is incredible!! I have had many massages and this is hands down the best I have received! And I love the facial. I always leave with a glow and I love the skin products she uses. They are all natural and smell incredible. You can park in the pavilions parking garage and she will validate your parking. I just can't say enough good things. I leave feeling uplifted and centered. I already can't wait for my next appointment. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Candace for three months now for facials with great results! She has a great attitude and makes you feel incredibly comfortable! She has recommended products as well as at-home care that have improved my skin immensely. I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, I would highly recommend her services. read more

I have been a client of Candace's for several years. I have had the opportunity to experience a wide range of services from waxing, brow shaping, massage and facials. Every service that Candace performs is done with the highest level of care and professionalism. She takes the time to answer any questions you may have and provides honest and accurate information on skin care products. Candace has such a warm, kind personality and I always walk out of the salon feeling beautiful and re-energized. I would highly recommend any of the services that Candace provides!!!! read more

Great location with full services and a friendly, professional staff. I've been into Pure Elegance at least a half dozen times and its officially become my go-to for facials, massages, and waxing services. Pure Elegance has competitive pricing and a flexible schedule and I always see the same person as opposed to other places where I'm tossed from technician to technician. Candace does the best brows! read more

I cannot say enough good stuff about Candace. She's super friendly and professional, she took her time and focused on the areas that I told her needed extra care while also giving my entire body attention. Part of my "reason for visiting" was for general stress relief and Candace started off with some calming words and deep breathing. The products and tools she used were fantastic, even letting me smell a few oils beforehand so I could choose a scent. Her space was really cozy and calming, a world away from 16th Street Mall below. After the appointment, Candace walked me out and gave me a sweet hug! I cannot wait to make another appointment soon :) Thanks Candace! read more

I needed some last minute massage while traveling in Denver and my hotel (Sheraton) didn't have a spa. I'm so glad I found this place. Candace helped me with my back issues and it really made me feel better even with just a 30 min massage. read more

I was visiting Denver on a business conference. There was a period of time where I had a few hours of down time. I checked yelp and found Pure Elegance spa nearby my hotel. I'm so glad I did. I had a terrific and relaxing massage with Candace. I was able to book same day! Candace was intuitive and very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. read more

Definitely the best deep tissue massage I have had. Candace is extremely professional and skilled. Such a fantastic facility and she creates such a relaxing and rejuvenating environment. Top notch experience! Highly recommended! read more

Overall good experience. I felt the massage and facial were a little superficial, then again it was 90 minutes for both. Very clean, excellent service. Would recommend. read more

I first saw Candace last year because my company provides occasional free massages... however, I've been going back once a month ever since because she is that awesome. Her massages are AMAZING, the atmosphere is very relaxing, and she's just an overall cool person. I have been recommending her to friends and coworkers for almost a year now, and would encourage anyone reading this review to make an appointment! read more

Candace was friendly and did a great job!

Candace was amazing. Fast and painless brazillians. I would highly recommend her services.

Awful experience. I get regular waxes every 4 weeks so I booked the "wax maintenance" option for $50 on the online booking system. The wax itself took less than 10 minutes and she even commented on how I barely had hair. In the end, she charged me $65 and when I questioned this she said "this is the new client fee". I told her it would've been nice to know this in advance and that the $50 option shouldn't be available if you're a "new client". She told me that's just the way it is. I felt this was misleading and unprofessional and left a very bad taste in my mouth. Plus, most other places I've been to offer a discount for new clients. $65 for less than 10 minutes feels like a ripoff, especially when she commented on my lack of hair. In addition to her unprofessionalism, the room is dirty and she has you lay on a plastic yoga mat which is smelly and sticky. She didn't even lay paper down. The whole experience felt dirty and gross and I will definitely not be going back. Do not recommend! read more

Horrible experience! Worst waxing experience ever! Claimed to not own a pair of scissors to trim hair, prior to waxing. Ripped hair off with no concern for my pain. Didn't make any effort to make this a pleasant experience at all! When I pressed down the area to try to lessen the pain, she blamed me for messing up the waxing. Claimed she didn't have any change and took more money then I had agreed to give her for a tip. Shouldn't have let her touch me and definitely didn't deserve a tip!! read more

Candace was extremely warm and friendly from the moment I walked in the door. I was nervous about getting a brazilian wax for the first time in about six months -- I know from experience (on multiple occasions) that going so long without a wax makes it hurt so much more. Unfortunately, the rest of my experience was pretty unpleasant. Firstly, every time the wax was applied, it tugged very painfully instead of gliding smoothly. It was just barely warm. I saw in Candace's response to a previous poor review that she uses a special low-heat wax for sensitive skin; maybe that works for some people, but obviously not for all. Secondly, when she tore the strips off, it was FAR more painful than any wax I have ever endured. I am not a crier, but it made me cry. She said it hurt because my hair was so long and thick. Like I said, I have gone a long time (six months to a year) without bikini waxes before, and it's never hurt half as much. No aesthetician has ever had any difficulty with this. I would like to note also that I was 5-7 days before my time of the month, and I'm aware that it can be more painful around then, but (also from experience) not like this AT ALL. I have BRUISING in that area, which has never happened before. I told her I wanted to stop. She was very understanding about it and indicated that she was fine with discontinuing the session, but we were halfway done, so we could continue if I felt up to it. I asked her if I could trim the area and then come back, but she said that it would then be too short. I decided to go ahead because I didn't want to leave half-waxed. We reached another area where the hair was thick and it again hurt unbelievably. For the record, that area is rarely painful for me, even when it's been a long time since my last wax. I told her I for sure wanted to stop at that point and that I would shave the rest. She tried to remove a bunch of wax that was still there, but she was unable to. She said that it needs to be massaged with oil in a hot shower and it will come out, and the massaging aspect was why she wasn't getting it out right then and there. So adding insult to literal injury, I had to leave with wax caked on my junk. I didn't mention any of my complaints at the time because I was overwhelmed and needed time to process, so I was just pleasant on my way out the door. I tried calling at 7pm to let her know, but I guess the business was closed. I can't seem to find hours anywhere. My final point is that all of the reasons she gave me for why the wax was so hellacious do NOT line up with my years and years of waxing experience. I'm not some newbie who didn't know what to expect. I have been like a JUNGLE down there and had it all ripped off without bruising or intolerable levels of pain, even on my period. I've never, ever cried. I don't know if it's technique, or the wax type, or the low heat, but it was truly horrendous. Regardless, one would expect a professional to identify that if their technique/materials aren't working, they should do something different. I wasn't some kind of abnormally hairy beast -- this should have been well within the range of her abilities, as it has been for every other aesthetician I have seen. Obviously, I will not be going back. read more

I had a Groupon for an essential facial, 60 min Swedish massage and eyebrow wax. According to the menu, the essential facial is supposed to be 60 minutes as well. My entire experience lasted 90 minutes total when it should have been just over 2 hours. Candace was very sweet and the massage was good. I recommend forgoing the Groupon if you want your money's worth. read more

Candace is so amazing. I always leave feeling great. She's such a positive uplifting person and this shows in everything she does. Her waxing is quick and her massages are the most amazing thing ever! read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found Candace and Pure Elegance Spa. I travel a lot for a living, so finding time for myself is a golden opportunity. The reviews here were extremely positive and rightly so! Candace is a sweetheart! She is very knowledgeable about skin care and the recommendations for my aging, dry, airplane abused skin were perfect. Price was comparable to other spas I've been to. The business is located on a 3rd floor building, with the various salons in individual "stores". The concept is fantastic. A warm and comfortable lobby area with a very nice receptionist greet you with beverages. I highly recommend Candace and Pure Elegance Spa next time you are in downtown Denver. read more

Amazing, massage atmosphere and customer service was amazing. just flew into town, got a same day appointment. Entered a mess and left feeling amazing. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

I can not express how happy I am with the Brazilian wax I had today with Candace. It was the most comfortable wax I have ever experienced. I have been getting Brazilians for quite a few years and this was basically pain free... well as close to it as you can get given the service being performed! I couldn't stop telling her and pretty much anyone who would listen how easy, quick and comfortable it was. I have found my new wax lady! So impressed with her style! read more

Outstanding! Candace gives amazing facials at astonishingly reasonable prices. My skin was glowing for days afterwards. She's very gentle, yet effective at really making a difference in your skin. The facial was super relaxing and she taught me about how to better care for my skin. Love! Try her! read more

I was/am very impressed with how easily Candace maintains such a friendly demeanor and acts incredibly professional at the same time. I always feel fantastic after massages with her. Would recommend!!! ++++ read more

I am 46 years old and at the time of life when somedays I wake up and I avoid mirrors, I know I look good for my age and I have plans to grow old gracefully but definitely fighting aging every step of the way. I met Candace two years or more a go but it wasn't until recently I had the chance to receive a facial from her. During the course of my treatment I was blown away by her add-ons treatment that she doesn't charge for and her knowledge of every fabulous anti-aging serum she put on my face. I really don't like it when I get a facial and they don't tell me what they are putting on my face! Candace detailed every bit of the experience for me. Then to top it all off she carries the Sanitas line of skincare products which, I say is the best you can get and use in a Colorado climate, it happens to be manufactured here too. Together we worked out a strategy for keeping me as youthful looking as possible. Thank you Candace for your TLC. read more

I just moved to Denver and came to Asteria Salon for a Haircut/Blowdry and a Brazilian with Candace. The first issue is that the salon and spa are treated as two separate businesses, even though they are in the same building and work together. It's very confusing and uncoordinated. They had to run my card on two different systems, and left me waiting to go fetch someone from the back to do one transaction while Candace did the other...really ridiculous. They also ended up not charging me for one of my services in all of the confusion....if I had a better experience I'd go back and fix this next time, but I won't be going back. Candace is very nice, but after being waxed all over the country, that isn't really enough. Her massages and other services may be great, but I would not recommended for waxing. I have sensitive skin and prefer to use hard wax. It's really hard to find waxers who know how to work with hard wax correctly, but when they do I've found waxes last longer and it's so much better for your skin. Unfortunately this was not the case. Candace was slow and kind of awkward, and got a lot of excess wax on my legs/places it didn't need to be. She kept making excuses that the hard wax doesn't always get everything. I've never had a problem with that before (a lot of salons in Boston use nothing BUT hard wax and maybe a tweezer), but fine whatever, most people would go in afterwards and get the areas they missed. After getting home I realized she missed a ton of obvious areas, which I'll now have to wait a month to fix. Parking situation is great, but I'll need to find a new salon. read more

Love going to Candace for facials every six weeks! She is so knowledgable about skin care and it doesn't hurt that her voice is as relaxing as listening to Bob Ross paint "happy little trees." She always has the latest technology and top of the line products! Best facial I've ever had! read more
