Fremont Spa and Massage

French countryside décor sheathes the nearly 3,000-square-foot beauty haven where nine spa rooms await clients in need of a facial, a chemical peel, or a medical microdermabrasion session. Out on the salon floor, a chorus of blow driers and shears hums "Flight of the Bumblebee" as friendly stylists color, cut, and straighten hair with Redken, Paul Mitchell, and Pureology products. Clients can also mist their skin with Bronze Biologic's UV-free airbrush-tanning solution, doll up peepers with Xtreme Lashes eyelash extensions, or extract unwanted strands with body-waxing services, which include Brazilian waxing for both women and men.

Situated inside the Dublin Holiday Inn, Spa Bella Day Spa combines spa treatments with hotel luxuries such as an indoor pool, hot tub, and exclusive restaurant services during spa parties. Signature skincare services nourish complexions with Jean D'Arcel European cosmetics. Herbal-soaked linen body wraps, Dead Sea mud masks, and skin-purifying treatments beautify bodies while also ridding them of toxins and regret about offending a police horse.

The experienced team at Le Soma Clinique Day Spa specializes in refreshing bodies with European–inspired services and products such as the botanically derived Yon-Ka Paris line. The staff’s credentials include certification in mytonology, a microcurrent treatment designed to tone facial muscles, and the spa’s massage therapist—who is also a personal trainer—uses her knowledge of anatomy and five different modalities to coax tension from backs and limbs. Waxing and spray tans prepare skin for beachcombing as anti-aging facials and seaweed wraps ready clients for high-school reunions held underwater.

The eponymous licensed massage therapist of Aurora's Massage Therapy resolutely commits herself to relieving chronic pains. With each massage, she strives to have clients leave feeling better than they did when they first came in—whether they were covered in aches, knots, or jellyfish. To this end, she performs a variety of massage modalities, ranging from the deep strokes of Swedish massage and the scent-assisted relaxation of the aromatherapy technique to the hot, soothing rocks of hot-stone massage.

Armed with all-natural products, Tranquility's certified spa experts pull from an expansive list of services to beautify guests literally from head to toe. Stylists channel more than two decades of experience to cut and color dos, skincare experts rejuvenate faces and bodies with Yonka products, and nail technicians pamper extremities with essential oils and durable polishes. Customers receive complimentary extras, such as snacks, beverages, and sycophantic magic mirrors, and customers can share the experience with one of Tranquility Day Spa's unique message-in-a-bottle gift certificates.

As its name suggests, Beyond The Spa has more going for it than relaxing facials, massages, and permanent-makeup applications. Owner Eileen strives to elevate her clients’ experience with complimentary amenities, such as a tea lounge that harbors teapots and cups from around the world. Eileen shares something in common with this cross-cultural collection of porcelain; she began her career halfway across the globe in Taiwan and China, helping manage her family's 23 spas throughout that country. Her most recent stateside endeavor has attracted notable clientele such as KRON4 news anchors and former Cupertino Mayor Kris Wang. They come for the stress-relieving treatments, though it doesn’t hurt that the spa is located inside a historic mansion on The Alameda that regularly hosts stuffed-animal tea parties.
