Eva Sztupka Kerschbaumer
ESSpa Kozmetika
ESSpa Kozmetika,
owned by Eva and Scott Kerschbaumer, is a different
kind of dayspa. They don't believe skin care should be a luxury. Their mission is simple-to provide clients with
the finest skin care and body treatments in a comfortable, relaxing environment at a reasonable price. Located in the
heart of Aspinwall on Brilliant Avenue, ESSpa is arguably the finest spa in Pittsburgh, open seven days a week, offering organic
skin care,exceptionally trained staff, European pampering and individualized spa treatments.
Eva Sztupka was raised in Hungary under a communist regime and for her owning
a business is the ultimate irony. "I was used to people telling me what to do," Eva says, "In America,
there's so much more opportunities. It was very hard to leave my family, but I could help them more here." Eva still finds it surprising that clients find spa services a luxury. In
Budhapest, a facial costs $5 and lasts twice as long. In her country, it is a matter of personal grooming. "We were so poor in my country, but I always got a facial. I would go with
my brother every week," she said. "I cannot believe women here spend incredible money on purses, shoes and hair,
but on their skin, they go twice a year." Eva believes that beautiful skin should never be a luxury. In order to help you experience the luxury of ESSpa, owners Scott and Eva are treating
all Pittsburgh Professional Women Members* to a $30 gift certificate. Mention PPW when scheduling your appointment. Location: 17 Brilliant Avenue, Aspinwall,
PA 15215 www.ESSPA.com 412. 782.3888 Mon 10 to 5;
Tue - Sat 9 to 8; Sun 11 to 5
*offer valid for PPW Members during their first ESSpa visit.
Expires 1/31/09, valid for spa services only
