Bare Necessities Spa reopened in a new location after a fire in 2023 forced the Montrose business to close, according to a Sept. 5 news release.

The details

An electrical fire caused a total loss of the organic spa, which incurred damages totaling up to more than $300,000, per the release.

After 17 months of rebuilding, the spa has re-opened in an expanded location in the Upper Kirby area. The 2,100-square-foot space offers seven treatment rooms and a dedicated spray tan room, according to the release.

Bare Necessities specializes in Brazilian waxing and custom facials, and now offers massage services with 30- to 90-minute options that include aromatherapy. The spa employs three massage therapists trained in varying types of massages, including hot stone, prenatal, sports and specialized stretching.

What they're saying


Owner Christina Jenkins, who originally opened the spa in 2011, said in the release she is excited to return to the Inner Loop and service the community once again.

"The fire was a significant setback, but it also gave us the opportunity to refine our services and come back stronger," Jenkins said in a statement. "Over the past year and a half, we've focused on perfecting our skills and making overall improvements to ensure every client receives an exceptional experience."
