Glendale, AZ Spa and Massage

With 12,000 square feet of space and more than 75 body and wellness services, the renowned Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa runs the full gamut of traditional and med-spa services. The woman-owned-and-operated business strives to empower females from the inside out with a combination of Eastern and Western aesthetic strategies that have garnered notice from local and national magazines, TV programs, and puppet shows. Dysport and Botox flatten out unwanted age-lines, diamond microdermabrasion and IPL photo facials diminish enlarged pores, blemishes, and uneven pigmentation. Cutting-edge laser hair removal painlessly works for all skin colors, and spa packages vanquish stress with massage, facials, and teddy-bear wrestling.

The world is full of classic sequences such as washer then dryer, joke then laughter, and cheesecake then haircut. For $40, today’s Groupon adds another twosome to that list with a drop-in yoga session ($12 value) and a one-hour, therapeutic massage ($75 value) at the appropriately named Desert Song Yoga and Massage Center, a Phoenix yoga shoppe and massagery that's got 25 years of experience under its belt made out of old tires.

Drawing from a natural predilection for attunement and masterful control of his finger holsters, John Hill established Space with a focus on fulfilling each client’s personal needs. Each massage at Space is completely customized according to individual preferences and performed with soothing hospitality. The studio is a serene cocoon of diffused natural light, warm wood tones, relaxing music, and scented candles that helps clients decompress after a rough day of alligator wrestling. Your Swedish massage applies long, fluid strokes with gentle pressure over the entire body while easing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and keeping stressful images of wall-gnawing termites at bay. After an out-of-this-world massage at Space, clients return to their home-pods relaxed and limber, seemingly unfazed by pesky, carbon-based life forms such as Doug from human resources.

As an Aveda salon, Salon Embellish amasses nourishing, plant-based Aveda products to fuel each of its beauty services. Natural and aromatic essential oils help therapists’ fingers glide over sore muscles during massage sessions, which can incorporate gentle or intense pressure, depending on the client’s needs. Gentle Aveda dyes maintain hair health during color treatments, and stylists can also repair previous damage by snipping off split ends or applying a restorative hair mask. Skin soaks up nutrients during a range of facial and body treatments, including a back facial that can make it look like you don’t even have a face on your back.
