3 Elements Day Spa Owner: Gift cards will be honored

GRAND JUNCTION (KJCT) -- Tonight, "3 Elements Day Spa and Salon" closes its door for the last time in Grand Junction. As a result, thousands of dollars are still on gift cards, left to be redeemed.

Following the closing announcement on Tuesday of the business located in the old Grand Junction Athletic Club building, customers rushed to get last minute appointments at the spa and take advantage of their cards. However, with appointments filling up quickly, many were not able to use their cards.

Spa Owner Vicky Thurlow said customers shouldn't worry.

"We are honoring those [cards]... Beginning June first, there is a salon in town, La Belle Amie Spa and Salon on Main Street, who will honor those gift cards," said Thurlow.

We talked with representatives from La Belle Amie, and they said no agreement has been made yet, but that they are working with Thurlow on the details.

This was also confirmed by Thurlow, who said, "We hope to get the details ironed out before that June first deadline."

Thurlow also confirmed our report that only gift cards purchased on or after March 5th would be accepted by La Belle Amie.

"Vicky gave us a list of certain cards that would be accepted; they are any gift cards sold after March fifth," said a La Belle Amie representative.

As a result, any cards given as Christmas gifts, or for Valentines Day are no good at all.

"I took over the business on March fifth, so I am honoring any cards I sold," said Thurlow. "Any cards sold before March fifth are the responsibility of the previous owner who sold them."'

Thurlow said it is unfortunate this has to happen, and attributes the business closing to poor sales, particularly Mother's Day sales.

"The closure of a business is always ugly," said Thurlow. "But we're trying to reach out to our customers."

Thurlow said she is in the process of finding other retailers that would accept her gift cards. She has set up a voicemail line where her clients can leave their name and phone number so they can be notified when Thurlow locates other retailers.

That number is (970) 245-4100. We called the line, the voice recording said it could not accept any messages at that time.

Meanwhile, La Belle Amie is located at 344 Main Street in downtown Grand Junction. Their phone number is (970) 242-0622.
