With decades of combined experience across all fields of beautification, the Bellini family is adept at handling a multitude of salon services. They offer haircuts for women ($50+), men ($35+), and children ($20+). A variety of coloring, styling, and highlighting treatments are also available for those interested in a new 'do without the trim. Remix fingertips with a full set of acrylic nails ($60) or a relaxing mani-pedi ($55). If it's wispy, they'll wax it (with services starting at $10); if it's tense, they'll relax it.

During the treatments, Izalia's staff of trained follicular assassins will unleash microscopic moonrakers on the hair-havens of the skin in an effort to efficiently epilate. The lasers heat up melanin deposits deep below the skin's surface, sending follicles into a non-growth hairbenation. Skin-fringe production is reduced, and clients can finally feel free to wear a bathing suit around the office without fear of harassment from anti-cilia co-workers.

The breadth of Taschler Spine & Rehab's list of alternative treatments makes it easier for doctors of chiropractic Jennifer Lee Taschler and Kevin P. Ward to do their jobs. That's because, depending on their patients' needs, they can mix-and-match treatments to create a level of personalized healthcare normally only obtained by having a hospital wing named after you. A particular patient, for example, could complement their deep-tissue or Thai massage with a reiki, reflexology, and ki-hara resistance stretching session, or work to improve their overall health by undergoing nutritional counseling or wellness coaching. Of course, Drs. Taschler and Ward also offer traditional chiropractic work, which they can augment with therapeutic pillows, lumbar ice packs, and heating pads.

With a citrus-mint face cleanser, shave oils, and hot lather giving your face a protective and therapeutic cover against the elements, your Too Hotties shave experience will remove hair and reduce stress, leaving the Fu Manchu of your face and the muttonchops of your soul suitably stylized.

As its name implies, Spa World blends the spa traditions of diverse cultures into a contemporary oasis dedicated to total-body relaxation. The 50,000-square-foot, modernized jimjilbang—a traditional Korean bathhouse—admits guests 24 hours per day, seven days a week, giving them up to 12 hours of open access to a bade pool, a sauna, a fitness center, and seven poultice rooms.

One of the spa’s many focal points is the bade pool, which targets sore muscles with nine water-blasting massage stations, including a neck shower and a bench jet that sprays high-pressure water onto feet, calves, waists, and sides to increase blood circulation. Nudity is required to keep the pool free of clothing-based contaminants. Blue onyx, amethyst gems, and ice arch overhead in the seven poultice rooms, each of which is artfully decorated and designed to detoxify bodies. Rare substances comprise the walls and ceilings; Korean red clay radiates purifying bio-infrared rays, and salt rocks imported from the Himalayas expand pores. To nourish guests who choose to remain for the day pass’s full 12 hours, the onsite restaurant sometimes pilfers these salt rocks to help flavor its authentic Asian cuisine.
