Beauty & Spas in Albertville

The licensed massage therapists at Massage Advantage dote on visitors with a slew of custom massage techniques, including Swedish, prenatal, and deep tissue. Armed with warm blankets and a credo to respect patients' privacy, therapists begin each 30- or 60-minute session with a discussion on clients' specific aches and ailments. Therapists can also haul their equipment to office buildings for workplace chair massages that help reinvigorate fatigued employees or stressed-out water coolers during 5–15 minute stints. Each succession of kneads is designed to alleviate stress, muscles soreness, and various medical conditions, such as high blood pressure.

Technician Anita Ray believes the best route to relaxation involves natural products and techniques. She infuses elements of the outdoors into her services, heating basalt rocks for hot-stone massages, using naturally derived acids for peels, and tickling squids for cosmetic tattoo ink. To help clients to achieve desired results, Anita begins appointments with a consultation and analysis, which yields recommendations for the proper procedure and at-home care.

Under the direction of two board-certified plastic surgeons, Studio 921's staffers work to clear besmirched skin during each roughly 30-minute Laser Genesis skin-therapy facial treatment. The non-invasive procedure diminishes the fine lines, scars, and stretched pores that plague overworked skin, imbuing clients' countenances with an even tone and gossamer gleam that helps them to blend into nearby clouds.

Sunset Tanz pays attention to the tiny details, swapping out tanning bulbs before they surpass 66% of their projected lifespan. The salon also offers special tanning-cocktail packages that combine the bronzing power of a UV bed with the all-over coverage of the salon’s automated Mystic Tan booth. And after sessions conclude, the shop encourages guests to browse a selection of Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty, and California Tan lotions that lock in darkness more efficiently than a ghost hunter armed with a cage full of lollipops.

Bright green walls and deep wooden accents fill the insides of Hair and Nails by Sally with a funky elegance. Other touches include a flat-screen television and electric fireplace that welcomes guests as they wait for their turn in the salon chair. Single lights dangle from the ceiling above cozy pedicure chairs and manicure stations, and more than 100 bottles of brightly colored nail polishes wait to be painted onto keratin sheets.

Licensed massage therapist Johnny Lawrence subdues sore muscles with a blend of gentle and firm massage styles. Deep-tissue massages journey down into fascia to release the tension that causes knots, and Swedish massage silences yelping aches and pains with smooth, flowing strokes. Prenatal sessions accommodate the unique pains of expecting mothers, and Lawrence uses hot-stone massage to mollify aches with small, smooth rocks that could really be awesome dinosaur eggs.
