About the New Location
Spargo's location at 1001 Cecelia Dr, was specially selected, designed and built specifically for Spargo by members of our family with consistent feedback from customers and partners. Completely customized and personal in the design, architecture and amenities; Spargo promises to be one the top Salon and Day Spa's in the Midwest.
The layout, architecture and decorations, were inspired by several trips around the world to some of the top Spas and historical areas and actually is designed after a Pompeiian "Peristyle house" (Domus). Being fascinated by history, a trip to Pompeii and ancient Roman history moved me. The Roman contribution to Spa living through their Bath Houses inspired my design for the new Spargo.
HAVE (Ha ve') is engraved on the front door, symbolizing that patrons are welcome and safe and was typically imprinted at many front doors of homes in ancient Rome. The upper level Salon area reflects the peristylium, which was a large open garden area in the back of the house surrounded by columns, waterfalls and ponds, which served for entertaining guests. You will come to see my love of water. I wanted it to be a major contribution to our atmosphere. (As a side note, today, the average family uses about 23 gallons of water a day, in ancient Rome; the average family would use over 60 gallons of water a day.)
The lower level Spa architecture continues to emulate a wealthy Roman house. The central Spa waiting area imitates the central Atrium with an Impluvium (hole in roof to collect rain water), which is where all rooms are connected. Unlike modern houses, a typical Roman house was inward-facing, light and air entered through the atrium, and all rooms connected through the atrium with very few windows. The wall waterfall was inspired by an old building in Milan, Italy. I have acquired several Roman artifacts which I am proud to display, which add to the atmosphere of an ancient Spa environment.
Each Service / Treatment Room is identified by the name of a Roman emperor who has built significant public baths or made notable efforts to expand the spa life style.
Relax in multiple waiting areas and atriums, including a private outdoor veranda. Unwind in our very unique and newly designed shampoo area; a true "hair experience". Cascading waterfalls surround you as you recline in our multi-comfort chairs that both heat and massage you while your hair and scalp get cleansed and conditioned.
Spargo is elegantly decorated with several pieces of original artwork by renowned US artist Scott Wallis, as well as incorporating several original Roman artifacts and antiquities complementing the old world Mediterranean design. Several custom water features blend into Spargo's environment offering a unique visual and calming atmosphere. Spargo's new design maintains the current salon al fresco design of curved stations that customer's love and enhances it by offering private and open spaces for hair clients.
Spargo offers a complete selection of spa and salon services, including couples services in our Signature "Augustus" Room. Customers can immerse themselves in the sensual experience of a Kohler Overflow S?k Tub while the fireplace's warmth and glow against the arched ceiling adds to the elegance and romance.
As an owner, I have put my heart and soul into our new project and am extremely proud and excited to now offer it to you.
