About Nushka's Spa

A European-trained esthetician bringing decades of expertise to the heart of Eugene.

Nushka Dobreva

Nushka has been a licensed cosmetician and esthetician since 1988. After ten successful years operating her own salon and spa in Europe, she moved to the United States, where she has continued the art of skincare using the finest European techniques and cosmetic formulas..

She maintains that a good complexion should not be considered a luxury, but a necessity. That belief shapes every appointment at Nushka's Spa — a careful approach to skin analysis, repair, and nourishment that delivers results today and builds a healthier complexion long-term.

Credentials. Nushka earned her Cosmetique / Aesthetician Diploma in Europe in 1988 and is fully certified to operate in the state of Oregon. She continues to train in new techniques and products and personally oversees the team.

What makes Nushka's Spa different

Walk into most American day spas and you'll find retail shelves at the front, a menu built for volume, and lingering product fumes in the air. Nushka's is intentionally different. The space is small. The air is clean — no harsh chemical smells, no acrylic dust, no toxic polishes. Every service is by appointment, so you're never rushed through because the next client is waiting in the lobby.

We also work almost exclusively with organic and European product lines — Eminence Organics from Hungary, Katherine Atzen from France, and carefully sourced supporting brands. If we wouldn't use it on our own skin, we won't use it on yours.

Our location

The spa is situated in downtown Eugene at 1508 Willamette Street, next to Willamette Artisan Jewelry Design. Parking is easy — we have a small lot plus ample street parking on Willamette and the surrounding blocks. The front door opens straight into the spa, so we ask clients to call ahead for product purchases or quick questions, since we operate without a receptionist and may be in session with another client.
