Day Spas in Maple Shade

Salon Norman-Dee's beauty services put the aesthetic back in anesthetic by letting you close your eyes and bliss out in a stress-free sanctuary while surgical stylists operate on you from head to toe, skipping only the gall bladder, because it's already sexier than it has any right to be. The salon's seasoned scissors-snippers can manage and mold any mop with a cut and style ($40+), coax manes into an anti-grav updo ($65+), or trim bangs ($10+) back into shape after a long winter of stress-eating. Prices increase for services booked with a senior stylist. Otherwise, skip taming in favor of total termination with waxing services such as an eyebrow shaping ($14) or a Brazilian bikini wax ($50) to prevent samba-related thigh burns. Non-hair-related beauty rescues include nail treatments such as the rejuvenating spa manicure ($24+) or pedicure ($45+).

Sunlight streaming through the window of Essenza Day Spa casts a glow on the spa's glossy contemporary Asian décor. Men, women, and teens cross the lobby's distressed hardwood floors, pass through red satin curtains, and enter into a private treatment room where technicians rejuvenate faces with five types of holistic facials and seven kinds of massage, including herbal body scrubs and therapies designed to relax oncology patients. Essenza Day Spa also boasts skilled spray-tanning specialists who custom-tan clients using 30 different shades of Infinity Sun solutions for an even, natural-looking tan that makes clients look like they spent the day at the beach or a week vacationing on Mars.

Skin, hair, and nails all receive meticulous attention at the hands of Pileggi on the Square’s staff members, who showcase their skills with a menu of crown-to-toe treatments. Attentive pampering starts at the head, where hair can be snipped, highlighted, tickled, or conditioned with a nourishing mask. Faces are smoothed with exfoliating microdermabrasion and healing serums or artfully accented with airbrush-applied makeup. Body treatments employ exotic elements such as tahitian coconut and ginger salt to add moisture to skin and credibility to dessert costumes.

Fantagio Spa doesn't feel like a spa as much as it exudes the air of a Middle Eastern palace. Potted palms and other tropical plants gently sway with each robed guest that shuffles by, as sand-colored brick and pyramid-shaped awnings remind them of an Egyptian pharaoh's quarters. In this palatial space, guests bask in soothing facials and mani-pedis, while treating their statures to tranquil massages and body wraps. Chocolate mud treatments awaken the body's senses and uncontrollable urge to nibble on its own arm with antioxidant-packed dark cocoa. Spa packages, meanwhile, combine facials, massages, and mani-pedis for up to four hours of blissful pampering.

Salon 463's team of seasoned aestheticians, nail technicians, and stylists work to gussy up patrons from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes via a host of lavish services. A symphony of snipping scissors and hair dryers accompanies each hair specialist during salon services ranging from color-boosting glazes to bridal updos. Aestheticians can revive faces exhausted from fielding the cheek pinches of passing grandmothers using a variety of rejuvenating skincare treatments. Nail services include anti-aging manicures, men's pedicures, and acrylic-nail repair to give hands and feet get a much-needed break.

The techs at all eight Victoria's Nails & Spa locations have one thing in common: they pride themselves on running clean shops where clients can come to get their paws pampered. Techs do their best work at the foot of comfortable pedicure chairs, where they apply polish to toes to make them more attractive and less likely to be mistaken for weird bugs and stepped on.
