Bethany, OR Spa and Massage

Bella Fiore Day Spa is a welcoming oasis in which hallways the color of autumn squash lead to curtained treatment rooms. The spa’s talented staff begins a client’s rejuvenation marathon with a Beaute Express facial. Customized to your individual skin type with a complimentary in-depth skin-care analysis, the express facial provides soothing exfoliation and hydration that will address the particular concerns of your visage, including sensitive skin and the money you could make in genre fiction. During your 30-minute Swedish massage, therapeutic hands gently target the storehouses of the body’s accumulated stress, pacifying tension and detoxifying muscles for a happier, more-mobile self.

The reiki experts at Global Community Wellness help their clients recover from illness, eliminate stress, and bring balance to their lives. Additionally, they lead reiki workshops, which teach people the secrets of energy fields and healing others.

The Empire State Building beckons the eyes of tourists and locals alike, yet as clients exit Renait 5th Avenue Salon's penthouse across the street—whose opening was kicked off with help from Miss Universe 2010—they draw gazes back down to earth. With products from Nexxus, Aveda, and Sebastian, experienced stylists reinstate health and style to hair with custom cuts, colors, and conditioning treatments after determining each client's aesthetic preferences and penchant for standing in front of wind machines. Cleansing facials enhance natural beauty, waxing treatments whisk away unwanted hair, and nail services ready fingers for an evening on the town. Renait's beautifiers also take inspiration from European salons, buttressing hair and skin services with massage therapy that enhances body function, helps alleviate pain, and soothes stress after arguments with the person in the bathroom mirror.

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.

Though they wield their shears with remarkable dexterity, the staff members at Platinum Salon and Day Spa are too restlessly creative to limit their talents to the scalp. That’s why they supplement their styling services with a full range of spa and tanning treatments that incorporate products from top brands such as Pureology and Dermalogica. Those salon staples share the shelves with skincare masks from Servello, which crafts its organic formulas in nearby Portland. When they aren’t relaxing with a massage or having their nails painted with the portraits of their 10 favorite presidents, guests can build up a summery glow in sunless Mystic or UV-tanning booths.

Since its inception in 1906, Flanders House has played home to many practitioners in the healing arts. In 1980, the three-story house—sometimes referred to as an “urban forest” due to its backyard herbal garden and quiet residential setting—became a part of the Common Grounds Wellness Center, a nonprofit organization that proceeded to fill the historic building’s rooms and hallways with alternative healers, community gatherings, and classes focused on holistic wellness.

Today, Common Ground's licensed practitioners continue to channel the building's rich medical history during sessions that work to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Massage therapists and acupuncturists draw on their extensive training to help their clients overcome stress and physical discomfort, and tarot-card readers, psychoanalysts, and dream workers work with visitors to help them weed out emotional blockages.

Inside the house's meeting rooms, specialists lead insightful community talks on topics that range from mindful parenting to shamanistic singing rituals. Committed to servicing the community at large, many of Common Ground's practitioners offer donation-based and sliding scale rates. They also make their backyard herb garden public for humans seeking quiet meditation or vagabond gnomes looking for a place to rest their heads.
