Athens, AL Spa and Massage

Medical Massage Therapy's licensed massage therapists help clients manage pain and regain their mobility. The staff relaxes muscles and relieves tension with modalities that range from relaxing Swedish massage to firmer deep-tissue, trigger-point, and medical massages. Medical Massage Therapy also offers ionic detoxifying footbaths, infrared therapy, and full-body scrubs to keep skin, feet, and organ systems from boycotting the muscles out of massage-related envy.

Hands and feet give rounds of applause after the technicians at Castle Nails & Spa tend to them with nailcare and skin-softening treatments. Manicure and pedicure services gussy up natural nails, and powder and gel sets create long, strong, faux nails that can be glittered for added effect. When technicians aren’t getting nails in tiptop shape for scratching itches of revealing winning lottery tickets, they infuse hands with moisture during soothing dips in paraffin wax.

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.

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.

The team at Pure Wax & Tan has unlocked the secret to beauty: luxurious treatments that make clients feel good about themselves. The certified-and-licensed waxing professionals pursue their confidence-boosting mission by smoothing down hirsute bodies with waxing for a range of areas, including facial waxing, body waxing, bikini waxing, and Brazilians. They also bronze curves with two forms of tanning, neither of which involve lying under the sun or yelling at the moon until daylight arrives. The tanning staff applies custom-formulated airbrush spray tans by hand, or clients can recline in the spa’s Ultimate Envy Collection tanning beds. The beds are engineered with e3 technology and eco-friendly bulbs to infuse bodies with a deep, rich glow.
