Ferndale, MI Spa and Massage

The massage therapists at La Vida Massage Bloomfield Hills ease aches and pains through therapeutic touch. They practice a wide range of modalities, gliding and tapping their hands during Swedish relaxation massages and pressing on specific energy meridians during reflexology. Along with massages, the specialists perform facials, peels, and waxing services as they lip-synch to Ricky Martin hits. The massage center is open seven days a week, serves customers of all ages, and resembles a two-story Swiss chalet, with multipaneled windows and wooden beams that crisscross a white façade.

Staffed by a team of trained massage therapists who boast experience working with Olympic athletes and the Detroit Lions, SowGood Pamper Lounge performs over ten different types of massage. During signature warm Swedish treatments, bodies are draped in chamomile-infused hot towels that help loosen muscles and melt away the ice that forms around the hearts of those working in customer support. Deep-tissue, sports, and hot- or cold-stone treatments can help relieve back pain or chronic aches. In addition to standard massage treatments, the staff also specializes in lypomassage, a noninvasive alternative to liposuction and offers personal training.

At Ferndale Relaxation Spa, massage therapists employ a holistic approach twice over, soothing the entire body with techniques from around the world. Beyond the traditional Western modalities, such as Swedish and hot stone, the indian head and neck massage calls upon ayurvedic-healing principles, and Chinese reflexology methods aim to boost the immune system during foot massages. Amid a bubbling fountain and soft music, the spa promotes relaxation with optional experiences such as rose petals scattered in candlelight or side-by-side massages for couples or presidential running mates.

Owner Stephanie Parenti leads a skilled team at her LaVida Massage location, where therapists soothe stressed clients. In the low light of a private room, sore muscles melt beneath flowing Swedish massage strokes or firm deep-tissue techniques. Clients can show appreciation for significant others or diligent stunt doubles by requesting soothing couples massages. Additionally, the spa's aestheticians can address surface-level concerns by administering signature facials and peels.

When head stylist Tameshia "Me Me" McConnell founded Lillie D'or Salon & Spa in July 2012, she brought more than 15 years of experience along with her shears and combs. Beyond haircuts, the salon's services span from relaxers and highlights to facials, massages, and makeup applications. Drinks from the Lillie Bar refresh clients in between services, as do visits to the cozy waiting area outfitted with sleek, contemporary furniture.

At Aretée, owner Olga Tecos and her staff remedy skin ailments and muscular maladies with a full line of massages and facials for men, women, and teens. The spa's aestheticians help improve skin complexion with botanical-based Aveda skincare products, which use no animal byproducts, pore-clogging oils, or tails of newt. The spa also offers spa parties and the services of a wedding planner and professional photographer, and beauty products and diverse skincare lines address skincare issues with moisturizers, cleansers, and masks.
