Beauty & Spas in Alamo

The holistic practitioners of The Vitality Spa help clients discover alternative, pharmaceutical-free therapies. A slate of cleansing and energizing services, ranging from colon hydrotherapy to aromatherapy massage, support the body's natural detoxification processes. To create an atmosphere where guests feel comfortable and taken care of, Vitality's team lights candles throughout its treatment spaces and plays relaxing music recorded by a local grandmother. On the way out, clients can speak with a wellness consultant who can advise them on products for at-home care.

The staff at Essential Body Works supports holistic health and beauty with an array of head-to-toe therapies from massage to acupuncture and traditional spa services. During massages, clients relax amid soft golden lights as a therapist plies muscles with one of 10 different modalities, spanning Swedish, Thai, and shiatsu massage. Acupuncture plays traffic cop along the body's energy freeways, and facials and waxing services smooth out expression makers. To brighten smiles, 15–40 minute teeth-whitening treatments clear away enamel stains caused from regular sips of coffee, tea, or squid-ink cocktails.

At Strictly French Nail Salon, owner Carina Campo leads a team of skilled nail techs who beautify clients’ finger and toe tips with decorative techniques such as glitter tips, pink and white acrylics, and a multitude of designs. Carina spearheaded the innovation of replacing white polished tips with white acrylic powder, which improves upon white polish by refusing to turn yellow or wear away. The salon’s more than 200 colors of glitter tips render nails as sparkly as a disco ball under the bright lights of police questioning, while shellac polish strengthens keratin with a gel-like finish that lasts for up to three weeks. Strictly French also houses Salon Rouge, a hair and skin outpost with a full menu of styling services and facials.
