Day Spas in Cupertino

Almaden Valley Aesthetics’ medical director, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Agheg M. Yenikomshian, leads a team of medical aestheticians and registered nurses that never perform exactly the same a procedure twice. Instead, they tailor their non-invasive beautifying services to each client’s specific needs, whether they are minimizing stubble through laser hair removal or rejuvenating faces with medical peels. Microdermabrasion treatments buff away dead skin, and injections of Botox and Restylane smooth away wrinkles. Spa-style facials can hydrate skin, infuse pores with Vitamin C, or address common teen skin imperfections such as acne and drivers-ed notes jotted on the forehead.

Pure Elements Salon & Spa uses all-natural Aveda products on clients from head to toe. The company also follows through with Aveda's green mission to beautify without harming the earth. The skilled staff members peruse Aveda's robust selection of eco-consciously harvested serums, shampoos, and lotions as they prepare for a range of spa services that includes hair, skin, massage, makeup, and nail treatments for both men and women. Nail technicians exfoliate feet with an all-natural sea-salt scrub before polishing toes. Massage therapists use natural elements during the hydra-stone massage, which, as its name suggests, incorporates both water and hot stones to make muscles as loose as a procrastination club’s meeting times. Aestheticians slough dulling dead skin cells from the face with microdermabrasion, facials, and glycolic peels. Clients can mix and match a combination of Pure Elements’ services to build extra-long spa packages or bridal packages to spiff up ladies on their big days.

The Spa at Pure Salon is powered by the certified skills of massage therapist Nikki Sanders and aesthetician Rachel Sauls. After earning their stripes working at high-end spas throughout the Raleigh area, the duo settled down and opened its own luxury oasis. In addition to a certification in LaStone therapy, Nikki claims expertise in an array of massage modalities, including deep-tissue techniques and prenatal massage. Rachel's multifaceted knowledge of skincare has led her to discover and employ upscale Osmosis skincare products, which enhance facial treatments with DNA repair technology. The pair conspires to reward its most loyal clients, granting discounts to regular customers or to those who guess the correct number of freckles that have visited the spa over the years.

Owner Gigi Stanley has been passionately steeped in the beauty industry since her graduation from Willow Glen Beauty College in 1984. Continuously educated in the latest trends, she and her team rejuvenate guests with a broad spread of soothing spa treatments and beautifying salon services. A slate of facials and anti-aging treatments enliven visages, and waxing services prep pelts for vacations, swim races, or shirtless calendar photo shoots. Additionally, head threads enjoy prettifying appointments for highlights, hair extensions, or chic updos.

GMS’s elegant atmosphere belies the warmth of its staff members, who welcome guests into a cozy waiting area—with a cushy sofa, chair, and ottoman—and gift them with wine, Blue Moon beer, or fruit-infused water. A trickling fountain highlighted against a natural-rock background enhances the space’s tranquility, and remains among the top five vacation destinations of water nymphs.

At Botanolution, plants aren't just for decoration: they're building blocks of beauty and health. Botanical essences infuse each of the company's handmade lotions, masks, and scrubs, which eschew parabens and synthetic dyes in favor of natural and organic substances. Instead of greeting shoppers with bleats and roars, Botanolution honors the earth's fauna by opposing animal testing and embracing vegan-friendly ingredients, such as hemp seed and shea butter. The company also opens its heart to humans by donating the profits from its bath salts to the Stanford Autism Center at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.

Like a flu shot during a mud bath, Raquel's Skincare & Waxing flaunts clinically oriented care amid lavish spa amenities. To this end, the spa merges pharmaceutical-grade skincare products with steam treatments, vitamin B5 masks, and massages to infuse focused skin rejuvenation with luxury. The menu of facial, microdermabrasion, and MicroPhototherapy treatments harnesses effective technology to address a full spectrum of epidermal needs, and Brazilian waxing and other hair-removal services call on French-imported hard waxes that are gentler on the skin.
