Beauty & Spas in Fostoria

The laid-back, tranquil ambiance at Essentials Day Spa complements the relaxing massages that take place therein. Guests hear calming sounds and breathe in fragrant, soothing aromas as they arrive for a private couples massage or a Night Cap massage, which targets the scalp, neck, and feet to promote better sleep. For relief from pregnancy pains, women bearing a prescription signed by a doctor or board-certified stork can schedule a prenatal or postnatal massage performed by a licensed massage therapist who is also a Doulas of North America–trained birth doula.

Away from the massage table, the Essentials Day Spa crew also performs facials, mani-pedis, and onsite or on-location spa parties and travels to offices to deliver stress-reducing corporate-wellness massages.

At its locations in Maumee and Whitehouse, Hair Chiasso sates beauty appetites with a full spectrum of hair, skin, massage, and nail services. Colorful bottles of Redken products sit against the dark mocha tones of the salon, calling out to clients with specially developed protein technology and precise pH balances. The Hair Chiasso team also uses the exclusive Redken Chemistry hair system, which is designed to repair strands that have been weakened by flat irons, chemicals, and nesting hummingbirds.

Beneath the painted branches that snake along the saffron walls of Blu Water Medi Spa Salon, guests leave their cares, worries, and mobile phones behind and enter a sanctuary teeming with relaxing music and soothing candlelight. Four levels of stylists revamp hair arrangements with customized cuts, colors, and updos that call on Aveda products. Aestheticians revive complexions with their signature service, the 30-minute Essential Blu facial, which uses Blu Water skin care serums to lavish faces with a double cleanse, exfoliation, and a hot-towel wrap. Alongside pampering nail services, Blu Water also rejuvenates the body’s inner mechanics with the skills of six massage therapists, a reiki master, and an onsite chiropractor.

Education is key at Metro Salon, where the team of experienced hair stylists attends continuous courses to stay abreast in the latest trends such as Brazilian Keratin smoothing treatments and Great Lengths hair extensions. Cutting-edge cuts are reinforced with products by TIGI and American Crew, and clients are encouraged to bring their own blow dryer into the salon so that the stylists can use it to teach them how to replicate their style or defrost a ham in record time. They also put their acute knowledge of current styles to help teens learn to groom themselves with confidence, and create formal updos for weddings and other special occasions.

Stephanie Harris has bedazzled lots of digits over the past 15 years. Drawing on this vast well of experience, she wields paraffin wax, salt scrubs, and colorful polish to leave hands elegant enough that a zookeeper will quit being so high and mighty about what cages to keep them out of. This background also helps her festoon nails with durable acrylics or art such as polka dots and swirls.

Tonia Patton does not define massage therapy as simply a relaxing treatment, but as a way to heal the body from the inside out. She customizes each session to meet her clients’ needs, from an athlete’s regular soreness to an office worker’s constant tension. By calibrating her kneads, strokes, and stretches, she can help address a host of physical maladies and soothe minds in the process. Tonia's new massage studio surrounds her guests with soothing low light, calm music, and lavender-perfumed air, creating an atmosphere more relaxing than napping in the sun after eating an entire wheel of cheese.:m]]
