Lawrence, KS Spa and Massage

Avenue Hair Styling and Day Spa's seasoned aestheticians beautify bodies with a range of noninvasive prettifying techniques from haircuts to body wraps. An expansive ocean mural presides over the scene as massages unfurl muscles, and clenched fists release their tension during a pampering manicure and a paraffin treatment that reduces lines, like a speedy ticket redeemer at an amusement park. As stylists snip locks in the wood-paneled salon, guests can bid adieu to leg fuzzies before an aerodynamics-promoting waxing. Avenue Hair Styling and Day Spa proudly throws its hair in the ring of the Locks of Love program, a nonprofit dedicated to matching donated tresses to disadvantaged children.

The licensed massage therapists at Natural Healers Health and Wellness Clinic each have more than 800 hours of experience with more than 10 types of bodywork and massage. In addition to the classics—Swedish, deep tissue, and sports—they perform less common modalities such as geriatric massage, myofascial release, steam therapy, and massages designed to restore range of motion to aging department store mannequins. In-depth client intake forms help each therapist design a fully customized session that targets specific regions of tension or pain, while also allowing clients to pinpoint their preferred level of pressure.
