Avondale, AZ Spa and Massage

Brandi Nuttall, the owner of Dolce Salon & Spa, must believe that you can never have too much of a good thing. Expanding upon her first and second Dolce locations, which measure in at 12,000 and 13,000 square feet, respectively, she opened the third hub in 2007. The 30,000-square-foot behemoth houses 62 styling stations, 21 spa rooms, 14 pedicure thrones, a makeup counter, a brow bar, and manicure stations. All three locations boast the same services—though at different scales—as well as men’s hair and spa treatments and bridal styling. Unlike hotels that charge extra for doorknobs and oxygen, the salons have a generous streak. They provide hairstyling services to those who donate to Locks of Love, spa services to local foster children, and hair clippings to areas affected by oil spills.

Bloom Salon's diverse, experienced team of stylists and beauty techs led by husband-wife team Scott and Tricia Young performs beauty services in a serene 3,000-square-foot facility. Team standouts include Brandy Hendricks, who has been clipping coifs for 18 years, and Samantha Young, a member of Scott’s family of hairdressers. In addition to expertly executed cut and color services, stylists accent manes with hair extensions and tame unruly head gardens with keratin smoothing treatments. Nail tech April Marhsall adorns fingers with polish, shellac polish, or acrylic nails, and therapist Lydia McDonald helps to relieve tension during deep-tissue, Swedish, or stone massages, untangling knots as quickly and efficiently as a blindfolded Eagle Scout.

Chandelier light sparkles down onto leather furniture, aquamarine walls, and gleaming black floors in the elegant and impression-making lobby of Skye Salon & Spa. Just beyond, visitors take in large portraits of models as a team of skilled stylists coif clients’ hair using TIGI, Alterna Haircare, and Big Sexy Hair products. Private massage rooms ensconce clients in a soothing atmosphere perfect for deeply relaxing bodywork. Elsewhere, the nail-station area juxtaposes framed modern art with colorful displays of colorful CND and OPI polish. Skye’s menu of services leaves no stone unturned, covering everything from chemical peels to resurface complexions to waxing services that can remove unwanted eyebrow hairs or eyebrows that trail down from the forehead onto the shoulder.

Seven's Spa Sanctuary & Salon's throngs of aestheticians and stylists coddle skin and whisk away split ends in soothing spa treatments. Stylists step in to refurbish outdated 'dos with deftly wielded shears, whereas aestheticians keep skin smooth with waxing, facials, and Botox treatments. The multidisciplinary staff comes together in daylong packages that combine a full slate of traditional spa services, including facials, massages, haircuts, ghost hunting, and manicures.

Our staff of beauty and wellness professionals offer a wide variety of specialized services that include skin care, massage, hair and nails. As a Redken 5th Avenue Salon, our hair stylists are frequently trained on the latest in contemporary styles. Each visit begins with a personal consultation.

At Sanctuary Salon & Day Spa, owner Pareen Merchant leads a team of beauty experts that polishes clients' looks from head to toe. Hair designers create custom cuts and restore damaged hair with conditioning treatments. To remove body hair or prune overgrown Chia pets, the staff employs laser technology and the Middle Eastern art of threading, a signature service that caught the attention of Melissa Mayntz of LoveToKnow.com. Merchant learned the technique from friends and cousins before honing her speed and brow-arching skills at a cosmetology program in India.

Massage therapists soothe weary muscles with a variety of modalities, and aestheticians brighten complexions with clinical skincare treatments, including medical microdermabrasion and Revitalight LED sessions. The salon's nail services earned a spot as a finalist in the Best Manicure and Pedicure category of CityVoter's 2007 and 2008 awards.
