Ankeny, IA Spa and Massage

Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons facilitate everything from hydro-massages and oxygen therapy to spray tanning and luminous facials. Each machine is designed for a specific service, which makes it the ultimate expert and keeps it from developing the ability to cry. Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members pay for packages or flat monthly rates. A staff of helpful spa assistants is always on hand to answer questions, help first-timers use the machines, and keep things safe and comfortable. Call ahead to make appointments; services are subject to availability.

The licensed technicians at Beauty and Soul Salon/Day Spa help guests to relax and renew with an extensive menu of hair, nail, body, and skincare treatments. Harnessing high-end products such as Moroccanoil, Biolage, and Kenra, stylists expertly overhaul lackluster ‘dos with haircuts and coloring services or reverse the damaging effects of wind, winter, and taking morning jogs across paintball fields. When clients aren’t having their nails painted or unwanted hair waxed away, aestheticians ease signs of age and tiredness with facials, microdermabrasion treatments, and chemical peels. Staff members also detoxify and pamper entire physiques with seaweed wraps and stress-busting custom and hot-stone massages.

Massage therapists at A Healing Touch are adept at much more than just working out muscle knots. The relaxation studio also offers crystal therapy, reiki energy work, and reflexology. These treatments, rooted in ancient Eastern healing traditions, can help balance chi in the body for greater overall health, an improved ability to relax, and an improved ability to find underground water just by monitoring the twitch of your fingers. Therapists also reveal their secrets in classes, whose topics may cover reiki, guided meditation, or yoga.

Sun streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the B2B Salon’s storefront, flooding sleek black hair stations and hardwood floors with light. Inside, experienced stylists discipline the manes of adults and kids, highlight locks, and create chic updos. Additionally, spa facials and waxing services leave skin smooth and refreshed. After hair appointments, clients can also bring home products from brands such as Rusk, American Crew, and Redken upkeep their new look or make over a favorite teddy bear.

Nestled in the heart of Des Moines’ revitalized Ingersoll district, Axis Salon & Day Spa unites a range of beauty specialists under one roof. Within the tranquil facility, the hair salon’s stylists, colorists, and extensions experts brush elbows with massage therapists, aestheticians, and permanent-makeup artists from the day spa, which pampers guests with facials, waxing, and nail services. Axis also schedules free hair-restoration consultations for customers in partnership with the Reese Hair Restoration center, which is home to the only Iowa physician certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. Further beautifying their patrons, the salon stocks Rusk products so they can achieve lustrous hair or give the cat a mohawk at home.

Locks and stress tumble to the floor inside Zen Salon, which is backed by more than 25 years of experience in the fields of haircare, waxing, and massage therapy. Body wraps, facials, and nail services round out the comprehensive service menu, which even offers weaves and eyelash extensions to make eyes as lush as a wealthy fern. As they enjoy the services rendered at the salon, clients admire the works of art by local artists that populate the interior.
