Intimate 2 roomed day spa in the heart Del Mar California. Over looking the Pacific Ocean.

Parker's namesake space is fashioned in purposefully minimalistic décor. Flat screens mounted to neutral tiled walls, products artfully arranged on wood shelves, and a glossy floor gives the space an invitingly posh feel. Prices vary according to the stylist's experience level. For an advanced hair shaper, cuts start at $65 for women and $35 for men and children. Book a one-step color service for $65, or try highlights (partial $95, full $115). Appointments with a master stylist start at $95 for women's cut and $65 for men. Or book an appointment with the celebrated coiffeur himself. His masterful ladysnips start at $185, with color services starting at $120 for one-step color and $205 for a full head of highlights.

Both soundproof and lightproof, the fiberglass capsules at Float Spa San Diego simulate a world without gravity, and more importantly, a world without distractions. Eight hundred pounds of Epsom salts intermixed with warm water—heated between 94 and 95 degrees—fill the tanks. As a result, clients lose all sense of external stimuli, ultimately leading to unmatched relaxation and a greater empathy toward rubber duckies. The water, harmonized with the skin's temperature, erases the sensation of touch, and the salt allows the body, including the head, to literally float without effort. Researchers have given this phenomenon the moniker REST, meaning Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique, as it has been shown to effectively reduce the brain's workload and enhance the mind and body's ability to relax and self-heal.

At Float Spa San Diego, the capsules are located inside private rooms equipped with showers for use before and after the session. Appointments kick off with 10 minutes of soothing music before all sounds and stimuli are shut off for 50 minutes of supreme silence and relaxation. With their modesty guarded by the locked rooms, clients are free to enjoy their flotation clad in a bathing suit, scuba-diving gear, or, for even less restriction, without any clothing at all.

Co-founded by Deepak Chopra, author of The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life, Meet Deepak Chopra, and many Cathy comic strips, the Chopra Center hosts this workshop as a way for individuals to discover a healthy sense of self while cultivating the relationship between body and mind.

Call ahead to reserve your space.

Like a professor knowledgeable on tulip mania, alien black oil, and a myriad of seemingly esoteric subjects, Massage Envy's certified body therapists ably converse with the gamut of muscle ailments. They'll unravel tense coils of accumulated inner stress through a perfectly catered treatment for individual clients' needs. Swedish massages offer gentle rubbing for muscular soothing and improved circulation, whereas reflexology focuses on a patient's crawling paddles, delivering relief to hands and feet to extend goodwill throughout the entire body. A prenatal massage is ideal for expecting mothers who could use a little relief from carrying another person inside them, and a sports massage provides tension relief and injury prevention for an athlete's body.
