Beauty & Spas in Cibolo

A fountain bubbles in front of The Spa at Cibolo Canyon, an 11,000-square-foot, neoclassical temple dedicated to the pursuit of beauty and health. Corinthian columns decorate the arched entryway to a monumental marble lobby, whose pedimented passageways wind off into exercise facilities enlivened by HD cable channels and 12 private treatment rooms fitted with memory-foam beds. An outdoor, competition-size pool sparkles in the early-morning cool, while clouds of vapor billow from the whirlpool and the congested dragon in the steam room.

Upon arrival, the staff replaces street clothes with robes that envelop skin in softness. Products from the FarmHouse Fresh skincare line nourish complexions with natural extracts of strawberries, honey, and agave nectar.

Within the deep-vanilla walls of A New U Salon & Spa, stylist Jennifer Thompson sets up shop with all the necessary tools and brand-name hair potions needed to style, nourish, and transform her clients’ locks. Each of Jennifer’s treatments begins with an in-depth consultation, during which she discusses her subject's desired style, level of upkeep, and bridge-clearance height before picking up her shears or coloring brush. As a Redken-certified colorist, Jennifer refreshes hairstyles through her expertise in face-flattering cuts and subtle yet stylish hue transformations.

Skin savant Stacy McClure tackles epidermal issues with her menu of facials, waxing, and tanning treatments. Hydrating masks unclog pores, gentle chemical peels and microdermabrasion sessions buff away dead or damaged skin cells, and back facials detoxify and protect posterior-facing skin. Waxing sessions eradicate fuzz from the face and body with top-shelf waxes before calming lotions soothe freshly pruned skin. McClure’s head- to-toe airbrushing services enhance physiques with golden hues, and her lash-tinting procedures draw attention to faces easier than training butterflies to alight on cheekbones.

A nail artist and stylist for more than 15 years, Dallia Garza has cultivated a keen eye for style that she wields while working with clients to revamp looks during hair and nail services. Dallia sculpts headscapes into works of art with basic cuts and updos and adds dramatic depth with highlights and coloring. For appendages in need of pampering, she smoothes away rough edges during manicure services before topping digits with regular polish, nail art, or a special Shellac formula that lasts up to 14 days, giving clients a break from touchups or constantly wearing steel gauntlets.
