Harper Woods, MI Spa and Massage

Though the words "deep-tissue massage" often call to mind strenuous pressure on sore muscles, the certified staffers at Tamara's Touch manage to achieve beneficial results while using a gentle approach. To coax stress from bodies, they manipulate muscles using Japanese-style acupressure techniques during shiatsu massage, and use polarity massages to rebalance the body's energy, relieving clients of the need to sleep on a teeter-totter. The crew also takes special care of pregnant clients, seniors, and athletes.

The experience begins with a 60-minute Swedish massage, the most common and classic of massage species. A Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to increase circulation, relieve muscle strain, and cut tension like a court jester in an actual court. For the second half of the treatment, choose either a 30-minute reflexology treatment or a 30-minute body scrub. The body scrub can be spiced with either sweet or salty luxury exfoliates to rehydrate thirsty skin and restore a baby-soft human suit. For those who spend much of the day on their feet or have recently recovered from the dancing plague, the extremity-pampering reflexology treatment targets only the footprint-shaped parts to terminate terminal soreness. Both options come garnished with a luxuriously complimentary beverage.

Serenity Day Spa's staff pampers bodies, nurtures skin, and promotes relaxation with a variety of spa services. Licensed by the state of Texas and each independent contractors, massage therapists tailor massages to individual needs, adding firmer pressure to oust muscle soreness or rhythmic taps to get "Copacabana" unstuck from clients' heads. Along with massage, aesthetic specialists inspire a matching outer calm with facials, nailcare, and waxing.

SpaCapsule World’s namesake technology simulates the therapeutic hand strokes of a massage therapist with automated water jets. Clients stay dry and fully clothed as they lie inside the apparatus, where 28 computer-controlled cannons blast bodies with therapeutic streams of pure water. One approximately 30-minute session in the high-tech chamber is designed to mimic a full-length massage with a traditional therapist or a full day of getting trampled by kittens. Water pressure, temperature, and pulse frequency are adjustable, allowing clients to customize each treatment according to their individual needs. Spa Capsules further cultivate tranquility via aromatherapy and audio-visual components.

Standing out from the spa's monochrome colour scheme, a row of beige pedicure chairs looks out at multiple manicure stations. Ocean Day Spa's sleek theme extends into its private treatment rooms, where staffers pamper clients with massages, facials, and endless compliments. Clients who arrive a bit early for their appointments may relax in the elevated waiting area and browse Ocean Day Spa's exclusive line of beauty products made by renowned brands such as Laboratoire Dr Renaud, CND, OPI, and China Glaze.

Experienced hair stylists roll open the drawers of black-trimmed dressers and grab gleaming pairs of scissors. They turn back to their clients, who nestle in squeaky-clean, white styling chairs, and begin by ruffling manes long and short, getting a feel for the flow and texture of each head of hair as they prepare to transform it. All the while, ensconced in private treatment rooms, nail technicians and massage therapists tend to clients relaxing on plush pedicure chairs. All About the Hair Salon and Spa's clients can seek out any of the salon's forms of pampering, from haircuts to waxing to long-lasting Shellac manicures, and expect the same friendly demeanor and attention to detail from their stylists. The salon also houses a cozy waiting area, where guests relax on an L-shaped sofa accented by a modern rug and vases filled with flowers and the calming sound of the ocean.
