Beauty & Spas in Azalea Park

The Spa's focus on customer satisfaction and relaxation has gained the staff recognition from the press, including a nod in Orlando Weekly's Best of Orlando 2011 list. Its vast menu of spa services runs a soothing gamut from traditional western massage to Dermalogica skincare treatments, as well as extravagant spa packages designed for men and women.

About once a month, or whenever the original cast of Footloose shows up, The Spa cranks up the tunes and opens up its hardwood floors for dancing during happy-hour spa parties. The themed shindigs pair lavish massages or facials with a nightclub ambiance of cocktails and activities such as gambling tables or oxygen bars.

A visit to the Maitland makeup studio ensures you'll be glowing like that smug neighborhood glowworm for your next date or meeting with the Minister of Defense. Opt for a full makeup application ($65–$85) and experience the beauty-boosting effects of the KROMA product line, created by owner and celebrity makeup artist Lee Tillett from all-natural ingredients and featured at swanky soirees such as the 2009 Academy Awards and the 2009 Emmys. Or, if wild and woolly brows are obstructing your view of downtown high-rises and low-flying helicopters, opt for an expert brow shaping ($45–$55) to make your best features pop. The friendly brow wranglers rein in unruly and rebellious eye awnings and shape arches to complement your specific eye and bone structure.

The massage therapists at Healthy Body Massage strive to help clients better understand their bodies both mentally and physically. They work to promote a sense of wholeness and self-awareness, employing specialized modalities depending on each visitor’s particular needs. Swedish and lomi-lomi techniques may foster a deep sense of relaxation, and neuromuscular therapy and lymphatic drainage aim to encourage the body’s natural healing process. During some treatments, the staff rubs skin with moisturizing salves mixed in-house from organic coconut oils.

Massage isn’t the studio’s only soothing service: the staff also pampers its clients with other spa treatments. Facials can incorporate everything from antioxidant-rich serums to scented essential oils, and body scrubs use Dead Sea salts or organic brown sugar to gently exfoliate the skin. To help firm and tone torsos, the staff also applies wraps of natural, mineral-rich seaweed harvested from the dwelling-places of the world’s sveltest manatees.

The professional, certified stylists at The Beauty Bar dazzle customers with the latest in beauty trends and services while creating their own novelties in the process. Defrazzle scalp frizz with a women’s haircut and style ($45), a conditioning treatment ($25), or a Brazilian keratin blowdry ($150). Stray face fuzz can be swiftly decorticated with waxes of the eyebrow ($15), lip ($10), and chin ($10). Full makeup applications ($40) buff facial flooring to a glow stunning enough to knock a horse in shining armor off a knight. Other beautificating services include color ($50+), thermal straightening ($400), hair extensions (price upon request), and installation of a second set of eyes in the back of everyone else’s heads to increase the visibility of your blooming allure.

A mani-pedi from Bahama Nails & Spa will dignify your every digit, from your filthiest piggy to the rudest pointer. During your treatment, one of the spa's friendly, talented technicians will whisk your wigglers off on a tropical vacation, on which your nails and cuticles will be coddled, scrubbed, and shaped, getting rubbed down with luxurious lotion like a squeaky sun goddess. When thoroughly groomed, your fingers and toes will be finished off with a fresh coat of polish, complementing colors in your eyes every time you vogue.
