Fernway, PA Spa and Massage

The multitalented team at Brodhead Spa performs treatments that are as relaxing as the fuss-free environment they're performed in. Guests cradle a warm mug of flavored coffee or specialty tea in the Paul Mitchell salon area as they watch a stylist mix custom hues at the color bar. As they relax back for a shampoo, awapuhi treatment, or hot-towel shave, patrons can rest their eyes or fix them on a globe-like chandelier bursting with designs that resemble snowflakes or the permanent sparkle emanating from an anchorman's smile.

In the adjacent nail room, cream-colored pedicure chairs pop against a deep blue accent wall, setting a tranquil mood as feet are nourished with ingredients such as fragrant Moroccan rose oil or skin-softening cocoa butter. Plush white robes await guests retreating to private treatments rooms where male and female therapists are available to provide Swedish or hot-stone massages.

Cheri Herold, owner of Fountain of Youth Aveda Salon Spa, wields a lifetime of beauty-industry experience to motivate her multitalented staff to exceed client expectations. Plant-based products fuel facials, massages, and hair treatments with the anti-aging properties of lavender, sandalwood, and other pure, sustainably sourced herbs and flowers. Fountain of Youth also operates a salon apprenticeship program, which provides 2,000 hours of on-the-job training to promising young cosmetologists or ambitious mannequins.

Former model Eva Kerschbaumer evokes her native Hungary at the award-winning EsSpa Kozmetika SkinCare while also fashioning an organic haven through earth-friendly practices and products. Hand-painted murals of Hungarian street scenes and river walks create an atmosphere of Old World charm for clients to laugh at cartoon coyotes trying to buy bread from a two-dimensional storefront. Inside private treatment rooms, aestheticians follow their owner's example by crafting massages, facials, and other pampering services personalized around the client's aesthetic needs. Eva builds her retail selection on organic oils and lotions from the Hungarian ilike line. These Hungarian skincare experts pack their products with handpicked herbs, fruits, and vegetables that have a high concentration of active ingredients aimed at restoring complexions and relaxing muscles.

Inspired by her mother’s return to school, Tiffany Stefura decided to pursue her passion for massage therapy five years ago. Since then, she has developed her own personable, unrushed approach that keeps her clients returning while discouraging chronic aches from doing the same. Tiffany took over AnExquisite Massage in 2011, and continues to build her clientele through her therapeutic kneadings. Imbuing her space with soothing ocean sounds and animal-print accents, Tiffany welcomes repeat and unique visitors, while keeping a space open for her mother to eventually join her in the practice.
