That is the intent – to relax and calm.

And Solt, located at 517-519 W. Third St., may be just the spa to melt away the stresses of the day. A grand opening is set for June 12 at 4 p.m.

Owner Kristie Schwab said when she was researching ideas, she wanted to offer services that were not readily available in the Jamestown area.

She said that for some of the services that Solt provides, she would have to travel to receive those services. And the services were not under one roof or in the same building.

“(For) some of these services I would travel to, I’d go to a business that just had one. And then if I wanted to do another one, I’d have to get in my car and go to another one,” Schwab said.

So Schwab decided to expand Panache Salon and Day Spa, located next door, to offer the unique services.

“I thought it would be convenient. And I thought it would pair well with the things we have next door so that we could expand on the experience that we’ve already built, and we have more selection,” She added.

Schwab said the new services include float therapy, halotherapy, contrast therapy, and a Vichy shower.

Float Therapy – Embark on a sensory journey as you float effortlessly in our state-of-the-art floatation rooms. Experience weightlessness, relieve stress, and achieve deep mental clarity in this serene aquatic environment – soltcafespa.com.

“It takes all the pressure off your joints. It calms your central nervous system,” Schwab said of the float therapy.

Halotherapy – Step into a salt cave and breathe in the healing powers of pure Himalayan salt. Halotherapy offers respiratory benefits, and promotes skin health – soltcafespa.com.

“It’s anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and it’s going to clear your airways,” Schwab said.

Contrast Therapy – Indulge in the therapeutic contrast of heat and cold in a sauna and cold plunge facilities. Enhance circulation, soothe muscles, and invigorate your senses. Alternate between the warmth of the sauna and the brisk revitalization of the cold plunge – soltcafespa.com.

“So there are two cold plunges and an infrared sauna, so that you can alternate between infrared heat and the cold temperature. Alternating the therapies is really wonderful for inflammation,” Schwab said.

Vichy Shower – Experience ultimate relaxation in the Vichy shower room, where cascading water massages away tension. The Vichy shower combines the benefits of hydrotherapy with the luxury of a soothing, rainfall-like shower – soltcafespa.com.

Solt also has a public cafe with its own, separate entrance, so patrons can enjoy a drink or meal without having to use the spa.

Spa hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday 12-8 p.m.

Cafe hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m to 8 p.m.
