Beaverton, OR Spa and Massage

The laser hair-enhancement service offered by Oregon's Grand SalonSpa zaps life back into hair thinning due to genetics or stress. Using nonthermal, low-level lasers, the 30-minute treatment saturates scalps with therapeutic red light to help bolster waning cranium-coverings. The treatment is nonsurgical, noninvasive, causes no pain, and allows clients to relax and read during each tress-thickening session. After an initial consultation, customers can partake in two sessions each week during the three-month period, providing ample time to fortify lagging locks before fall fashion shows or Tarzan lookalike contests.

Founder Jane finds it imperative to treat both body and spirit, and works to holistically usher each person toward wellness through more than one channel. She and her fellow massage therapists call upon a variety of tools while they work, using the vibrational and ionic properties of stones, Himalayan salt, and essential oils to help simultaneously heal and release stress. The goal at Lavender Stone Massage, LLC is for clients to leave healthier, detoxified, pain-free, and unburdened with voodoo curses.

The soft aroma of Aveda’s plant-based shampoos and styling products wafts through Aveda Avenue Salon Spa. At their stations, stylists cut and color manes, conditioning dry, damaged strands with botanical treatments that harness the power of plant oils and quinoa proteins. Small touches enhance the rest of the services: After sipping complimentary mugs of soothing tea, clients enjoy facials that can include special add-on treatments for the eyes and back. Similarly, clients can enhance their manicures and pedicures with warm paraffin dips and hot-stone massages.

Vases of green bamboo accent the salon’s stone walls and earth tones. The natural decor reflects its proclivity for environmentally friendly products and brooding park rangers.

After graduating from Anthem College’s massage-therapy program, When You Knead It owner Trish Olson immediately founded her travelling massage service to bring aid to sore muscles wherever they may be. With more than 15 years of experience, Olson and her staff bring years of knowledge to treat bodies suffering from stress or injury. When You Knead It uses a variety of massage techniques—including Swedish and deep-tissue massage—to relax muscles and revitalize bodies.

Many people realize their lives' passions during college. Rachel Joyce discovered hers in a car accident. Rachel studied public relations and advertising in school, but after graduating, she was unable to find a job that she felt comfortable in. It wasn’t until she received her first professional massage to treat pains related to a car accident that she enrolled in the Oregon School of Massage to get licensed and start her own practice. As the owner of TouchWorks Massage, Rachel, along with her team, tends to aches, pains, and injuries through massage therapies that include deep kneads, soothing strokes, and Morse-code lullabies.

Colette Chavez Walker listens with her hands. As they glide over sore bodies during deep-tissue and Thai massages, her hands intuitively follow and react to shifting and fading tensions. To teach her hands this ability, she studied with massage masters from various parts of the world. To learn Hawaiian-style mana lomi massage, she traveled to the islands and apprenticed with a native Hawaiian practitioner. To learn orthopedic massages, she studied under the tutelage of James Waslaski, the founder of the technique.

Though her hands never seem to get tired or run out of claps, Colette occasionally transfers them from physical work to pure energy manipulation. During reiki sessions, she applies her more than 10 years of experience to balance the body's chakras and promote healing.
