Your guide to navigating Arizona's spa and salon landscape including insider info, photos, details, specials and reviews
Club Spa
Don't you just love to primp after you pump? Or maybe you love a rub down after a good yoga class? You'll find it at a club spa, girlie. Although their primary purpose is fitness, club spas offer a variety of professionally administered wonderfully appreciated spa services on a day-use basis.
Day Spa
Much like your full-service salon, a day spa adds that extra touch by dedicating itself to the type of services you get with other spas often without the costs and time associated with staying in overnight accommodations. These facilities are typically self-contained, but they might also be combined with a salon.
Destination Spa
Arguably offering the ultimate spa experience, destination spas offer well-rounded programs that typically combine weight loss, nutrition, exercise, healing, meditation, and of course, pampering. Rejuvenation, relaxation and revitalization are the primary goals of all of destination spas; however, some facilities have specialized in focus areas such as weight loss, yoga and nutrition. Packages are typically structured for guests interested in staying from three to seven days.
Fitness
If you're looking to shape up, fitness services can be found all over -- in health clubs, yoga studios, gyms and the like.
Full-Service Salon
Okay, so take nail heaven and hair passion, add a healthy dose of massage, waxing or facial and you've just about got it all with a full-service salon.
Hair Removal
With the advent of high-tech lasers, razor nicks and dicey home wax kits aren't your only options. Go smooth in the hands of a professional. Hair removal comes in many shapes and forms and your job is to find a place and a method that best works for you and you pocketbook. Laser hair removal is recommended for the permanent reduction of hair on areas like underarms, legs, bikini line and some area on the face, while tried-and-true methods such as waxing, sugaring, threading or plucking (ouch!) are best for brows and facial hair.
Hair Salon
Imagine a place that knows only one passion � your beautiful tresses! Solely dedicated to hair services, hair salons offer at least haircuts, but usually also offer excellence in color, styling, extensions, up do's and weaving. Our directory includes traditional hair salons as well as barbers, unisex facilities, independent stylists, and even mobile professionals that come to you.
Holistic Treatments
Holistic services are healing therapies that consider your body, mind and spirit at the same time. These therapies include, but are not limited to: acupuncture, aromatherapy, chakra-balancing, crystal therapy, color therapy and hypnotherapy.
Makeup
Makeup artistry is performed by talented individuals who know how to highlight our best features (yes, we all have at least a few) through the strategic use of makeup. In our directory, we only include professionally trained makeup artists -- after all, well-intentioned sales associates offering free makeup demonstrations really deserve a category of their own.
Massage
Massage can be one of the most relaxing therapies known to, ahem, "spagirlkind." Whether you're preparing a nursery or nursing an injury, therapeutic massage is geared toward simultaneously restoring body and mind. Massage therapies come in a wide selection and new modalities seem to be invented daily.
Medical Spa
Combining elements of a medical practice and spa therapeutics, medical spas (aka, medi-spas) offer everything from facial to plastic surgery. A medical spa is supervised by a physician or staff of qualified medical professionals. And if it isn't, run. Now. Whatever reason you may have for visiting a medi-spa, be sure you ask plenty of questions, ensure they are board-certified in the specialty for which you've selected them and if you can, talk to former patients or clients.
Nail Salon
In any given neighborhood, a little piece of heaven can be bought at a nail salon near you. Often at moments notice, these unassuming facilities can get your little hands lookin' pretty and your little face looking relaxed in under an hour. You'll usually spend less than $30 in most neighborhoods, but you'll feel like a million bucks.
Resort Spa
Perfect for a week's retreat or weekend getaway, a spa within a resort or hotel provides most of the spa services, fitness and amenities you get at a destination spa without the structure. If you're looking for a traditional vacation combined with a spa retreat, a resort spa just might be the perfect fit for you.
School
By offering deeply discounted spa and salon treatments to the public, student aestheticians, massage therapists and hair stylists can gain practical, hands-on experience. You can't beat the prices offered at local cosmetology, aesthetics and massage schools and you're doing your part to shape the future beauty and wellness practitioners of the world. We call that a win-win situation!
Skincare
Eyes, lips, nose and cheeks -- skincare is all about saving face. Skincare covers a broad range of services including facials, acne and wrinkle treatments, facial massage, peels, extractions, laser therapy, microdermabrasion and cosmetic enhancements.
Tanning
Bronzed skin doesn't just come from high-tech UV tanning contraptions or worse, from the great big ball in the sky. Nowadays, spray, airbrush and mist-on tanning as well as bronzing treatments (where skin is buffed and a self-bronzer is evenly applied by a spa or salon professional) provide a sun-kissed glow without crinkling and wrinkling the skin.
