Beauty & Spas in Kelso

An intimate haven for wellness in the heart of St. Johns. We specialize in holistic, organic skincare and massage from the best therapists in Portland.

Bohemian Massage & Bodywork's featured massage therapist, Valerie Kelly, honed her craft at chiropractic offices, spas, and sports-treatment facilities for years. This diversity has helped Valerie develop a signature massage style that fuses therapeutic care with spa-like pampering. Her roster includes clinical treatments, such as therapeutic massages to help rehabilitate after auto accidents and sports-related barroom brawls. She can also perform lavish seaweed wraps and sugar and salt body scrubs. As a trained doula, she has the know-how to help ease pregnancy woes with labor and birth massages or memorialize the experience with plaster belly casts of expectant mothers.

Prioritizing comfort and Northwestern warmth, Beyond Bliss pampers its guests with aesthetic and therapeutic services supplemented with Dermologica products and unique details. During the signature massage, a skilled therapist begins with shiatsu before the strokes of a natural-cactus brush exfoliate the back. The hot-shell massage combines sea shells heated by the fiery breaths of a leviathan with natural minerals, sea kelp, salt water, and Swedish-massage techniques to soothe the back. Waxing, facials, and body-contouring treatments with ultrasound technology help round out the menu.

Vancouver Laser's beams of light help clients travel back in time, emerging from the clinic with a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. Owner Lori Keller, a medical aesthetician and certified laser technician, oversees a professional, certified staff who make these transformations possible. Their steadfast hands aim Fraxel lasers toward superficial scars and wield Cutera Medical lasers to clear brown spots and acne scars. After releasing a final maniacal laugh, the practitioners put down their lasers and administer other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox injections, diamond microdermabrasion, and free makeup consultations.

Owner Jamie Twyman helms a team of certified and licensed massage therapists, aestheticians, and nail technicians who balance bodies and promote wellness with holistic spa services. The skilled professionals tailor each skincare, nail, or body treatment to the client's needs and the demands of their overprotective invisible friends. Clients nestle into private treatment rooms decked out in olive-tinged modern country décor, with rustic hardwood floors, antique wooden cabinets, and walls swathed in contrasting floral, striped, and paisley-patterned wallpaper.

Products from a full organic boutique keep bodies intact at home with local organic facial-care products, bath teas, bath espresso machines, and body scrubs. Candles, recycled-glass dishes, relaxation CDs, and handmade cards and jewelry also fill the boutique's interior, which augments its cottage-like aesthetics with local art.

Considering they're charged with maintaining an extensive array of equipment across 15 locations, it's a good thing each state-certified member of the SunsUp Tanning Centers team commits to at least 10 hours of update training each week. The constant training prepares the specialists for working with the centers' 10 types of standup and lay-down UV beds as well as with sunless Mystic Tan and VersaSpa booths. In addition to tanning, SunsUp offers the Fit body wrap, an infrared heat therapy designed to detoxify and slim the body. Patrons can adjust the wrap's four independent heat zones in 1-degree increments up to 130 degrees or until their body parts start to whistle.
