Elizabethtown, KY Spa and Massage

Whether you're an athlete with muscle pain from strenuous activity or just suffering from the aches of office work, Lyons will tailor your massage to suit your needs, varying techniques as necessary. The soothing environment of Relax Renew Revive is an ideal place to partake in full-body puttification. A private treatment room, simply furnished, with walls of deep teal, relaxes the mind and soothes the senses, priming torso and tailbone alike for relief.

Stocked with an experienced staff and shelves upon shelves of all-natural Aveda products, Salon DeLonjay offers a full list of luxurious services. Haircuts for women ($48+), men ($30+), and children ($30+) keep the whole family properly sheared for the summertime, while all-over color treatments ($60+ for women, $45+ for men) or highlights ($87+ for women, $45+ for men) can help freshen follicles after spending too much time inches from the sun. To fake a flawless finish, enjoy a 30-minute makeup application session, including a thorough facial cleansing and toning or a date with some UV-free sun ($45), or an airbrush makeup application session for a long-lasting look ($50–$75). Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

At Adjustments & Acupuncture, Doctor of Chiropractic Deb Hirabai uses more than 14 years of acupuncture experience to guide her patients toward active lifestyles. A recipient of such treatments herself, Dr. Hirabai zeroes in on everyday disorders while drawing on methods such as spinal corrections, applied kinesiology, and traditional Chinese acupuncture and herbal formulas. Most treatments begin with a comprehensive exam, which allows her to map out a personalized solution for each patient rather than relying on a cloth map of Middle Earth.

Emmett Garcia, the licensed massage therapist at Touched by an Angel’s Wing, renders therapeutic full-body massages using oils or lotions and techniques culled from more than 10 distinct modalities. During each session, Garcia plies a variety of strokes, from rhythmic percussion taps to kneading maneuvers targeted to improve sluggish circulation, like a library that smears its books with chocolate. In addition to redressing backaches, the massage sessions can help to ease stressed-out minds and abate the severity of ailments, such as migraines and swelling from sports injuries or pregnancy. When his own nimble fingers are not enough, Garcia calls upon such spa staples as warm paraffin wax and mud to soothe achy joints and flush toxins from pores.

The staffers at Bronze Boutique don’t just oversee the operation of standup and lie-down UV tanning beds and applications of Infinity Sun airbrush tans—they also tend to clients' nails, hair, and even teeth. In the salon, stylists insert microlink and clip-in extensions or add streaks of color to lend depth to a hairstyle. During spa services, skin specialists remove brow hair with threading and exfoliate away dead skin cells with microdermabrasion and pumpkin chemical peels. When exposed to a special blue light, another chemical solution, BleachBright's peroxide whitening gel, lightens teeth so they twinkle like Santa's eyes do when the midnight polar sun isn't blinding them.

When considering what to bring to a desert island, one might consider a snowmobile, a milk steamer, and one of Elite Massage Therapy's two therapists. The pair helm separate locations of the company, so customers will find different methods of relief depending on where they find themselves. From his station downtown, Jacob Kilbride specializes in sports-performance massage, supplemented by the rehabilitative Kinesio Taping Method and a Chinese scar-tissue mediation technique called gua sha. His journey began at Spencerian School of Massage, where he mastered anatomy and the fundamental techniques of Swedish, deep-tissue, and other modalities. Brennen Sneed mans the Highlands location, where he uses his massage therapy diploma from Spencerian College and experience mending football injuries for the Louisville Cardinals to enhance athletic performance with Swedish massage, hydrotherapy, and stretching techniques. Both experts complement therapeutic healing with sensory indulgence by keeping aromatherapy oils and hot stones on hand to dip into vats of molten chocolate.
