From a modest salon founded in West Quesnel in 1985, Spa Rivier has evolved into a multi-faceted beauty destination that brings together luxury spa services with a curated selection of exceptional skincare and haircare lines.
Located on Reid Street, Spa Rivier is a place for both a stylish new haircut and rejuvenating facial, while also offering a space for community and self-care.
“We’re committed to helping our clients feel confident, cared for and valued,” says Donna Jacobsen, who owns and operates Spa Rivier.
Her daughters, Deanna and Kristina, are now joining the team. Together, they are creating a space that offers services found at high-end spas worldwide while maintaining a friendly, community-focused atmosphere.
Fashion gifts
Looking for boutique gifts? Spa Rivier is a fashion boutique, as well as a spa and salon, offering fashion gifts and wellness products, as well as gift cards and gift boxes.
The store features a diverse range of items, including soothing skincare essentials, therapeutic bath products and wellness tools designed to enhance relaxation and rejuvenation. With a focus on quality and natural ingredients, Sparivier prioritizes products that contribute to mindful routines and overall well-being. Customers can explore thoughtfully crafted goods aimed at nurturing both body and mind.
A community-centred space
Rooted in its Quesnel community, the spa and boutique collaborates with local businesses and supports community initiatives. “We don’t just serve clients, we also build connections,” Jacobsen says. Participating in events like Moonlight Madness and Black Friday, and offering unique, in-store promotions help welcome both new and loyal customers to celebrate the season with the local business.
“It’s our way of giving back to those who support us,” Jacobsen notes, highlighting the spa's loyalty program as well. “We appreciate every single guest who walks through our doors, and our loyalty program is just one way we show it.”
As a family affair, Donna proudly enjoys working alongside her daughters. “Watching my daughters grow as entrepreneurs has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey,” she shares, noting each family member brings unique strengths. “I wanted to create a space I would love to shop in – a place where quality, care and personal connection are at the forefront.” Jacobsen explains.
The family’s passion has earned Spa Rivier multiple accolades over the years, including the Business Person of the Year award and the Entrepreneurial Growth Award.
