The W Salon, Spa, and Nail Bar

The beauty experts at The W Salon, Spa, and Nail Bar mix more than hair color—they also mix up a mean drink. Electric guitars hang on either side of the flat-screen TV behind the Rock-n-Roll bar, where guests sit on white chairs sipping martinis and colorful cocktails. At one of the only nail bars in Mobile, the spa's refreshing beverages combine with mani-pedi products that are just as appetizing. Southern Magnolia body icing or a marshmallow mask treatment may inspire hands and feet to gravitate toward mouths. The velvet banquette and plush armchairs in the softly lit pedicure lounge give the space a club-like VIP vibe.

Back in the salon area, glass light fixtures resembling floating bubbles gently illuminate new 'dos framed by full-length mirrors. The spa also relaxes complexions and muscles with facials and massages and hosts after-hours parties complete with karaoke, movies, and chances to see whether massage beds come alive at night.
